Chapter 1200 Follow Hou Ye to have meat to eat!
The second day.
As expected, Cao Wendong, Lin Wenyuan and other members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce came to several villages under Li Zexuan early in the morning. Dozens of carriages were parked at the entrance of each village. The villagers must have received the notice last night.
Before dawn, they had already gotten up to pick vegetables in their own greenhouse. When Cao Wendong and his carriage team arrived, they directly took the vegetables here and started weighing and loading them.
The money for each vegetable seller was recorded in the ledger. In order to rush for time, Cao Wendong and the others decided to collect the vegetables first, and then send someone to pay the bill in the afternoon. The farmers also knew that Cao Wendong and the others were Li Zexuan's subordinates.
The people were not worried that Cao Wendong and the others would default on their debts, so they all sent over all the vegetables picked in their own greenhouses with great confidence.
As early as yesterday afternoon, Cao Wendong and the others had counted the total amount of vegetables that they had to collect every day, and informed the eight villagers of the amount. The amount allocated to each village was decided by each of them.
Then the Li Zheng of each village will inform the villagers how many vegetables to pick based on the quantity allocated to their village.
Because there are no particularly good ways to preserve freshness in this era, vegetables cannot be stored for a long time. The best way is to pick them now and sell them now. Anyway, the maturity period of each vegetable has a relatively long period of time.
The ground will not be spoiled. This can also achieve the result of a steady flow of water. Otherwise, if they harvest this crop today, they will never harvest it again in the future.
Even so, this trip by Cao Wendong and the others also allowed each household to earn more than yesterday. Each household earned at least twenty guan. If all the vegetables in the greenhouse are sold out in the future, the farmers will
Our income is definitely more than 100 yuan!
One hundred guans, for ordinary people, is an astronomical sum of money. It is basically money that they will never earn in their lifetime! Villagers such as Hanjiazhuang and Meicun have managed to rise from poverty in one fell swoop with their greenhouse vegetables.
Class has entered the "moderately prosperous class". At least these farmers who have enjoyed the dividends of the first batch of greenhouse vegetables will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future!
"Look! Isn't that the carriage belonging to Mr. Cao's family in Chang'an City? They are collecting vegetables in Plum Village!"
"Wow~! So the people in Plum Village do know how to grow vegetables in winter?"
"Of course! I guess it was the Marquis who taught them. They got rich this time. I heard yesterday that they were selling vegetables in Chang'an City, and the cucumbers alone cost 600 yuan a pound!"
"Six hundred coins per catty! Then each of their families can earn at least hundreds of coins!"
"At least it's this amount! Tsk tsk! It's a pity that our Zhuangzi was merged into the Marquis's fief this year, otherwise we would definitely be able to make a fortune like them!"
"Yeah! What a shame!"
"Hey~! What are you guys saying sourly over there? Now we are all farmers under the Marquis. Following behind the Marquis, are we still worried about not being able to make money or eat meat in the future?"
But it was Zhong Lizheng from Yujiazhuang who couldn't help but scolded after hearing the envy of these people.
Naturally, Cao Wendong and the others couldn't hide the fact that they were collecting vegetables in such a noisy manner. Farmers from other nearby Zhuangzi passed by and saw this scene. They were all filled with envy, but no one was jealous. Now their Zhuangzi has become Li Zexuan.
Even though they don’t have the huge dividends from the first batch of greenhouse vegetables, as long as Li Zexuan is here, they will definitely be able to live a good life in the future!
This is not their blind confidence in Li Zexuan, but the consensus of everyone in the world about Li Zexuan. As for the person who is best at creating wealth in the world, it must be Li Zexuan!
"Uncle Zhong is right! As long as we follow the Marquis and do whatever the Marquis tells us to do, we will never have to worry about food or clothing, and everyone will even have the opportunity to read and write.
!”
Yu Dejing happened to pass by here today, and he encouraged the farmers around him.
"Yu Xiucai said it well! You will have a good life if you follow the Marquis!"
"Yes! You will have a good life following the Marquis!"
What Li Zexuan didn't expect was that after seeing the huge profits made by these villagers in Hanjiazhuang, these bankers who had just merged into his fiefdom were not only not jealous, but became even more loyal to him!
………………………
"Master, master! How much did you sell today~?"
Liujiazhuang, Liu Mang’s family.
After the large team that came to collect the vegetables left, Liu Mang's wife quickly came over and asked eagerly.
Liu Mang grinned, his expression full of pride, "Hey! I just saw the account book of Mr. Lin's house. It was recorded that our family sold thirty-five strings and seventy-three coins this time. Mr. Lin said that in the afternoon
They will bring the money to us and distribute it door to door!"
"So many? Boss, you read that right~?"
The peasant woman stared in disbelief.
In the past, when they were "grabbing" in the fields, they would earn a penny for a penny, but now it has become a penny for ten dollars, which made it difficult for her to adapt to it for a while.
"How can it be false?"
Liu Mang glared and said: "If you don't believe it, you will know when Mr. Lin delivers the copper coins this afternoon! Let me think about how many baskets these thirty-odd coins will have to hold. My dear, when you get there
You have to prepare a basket for money!”
The woman responded, then sighed, and said with some pity: "Oh! My boss, if I had known that these greenhouse vegetables were so profitable, we would have bought a few more, and we would definitely have earned more by now!"
"
In fact, she is definitely not the only one who has this idea. At this moment, there are countless people in the eight Zhuangzi who are secretly beating their chests!
When Li Zexuan asked them to build greenhouses, many people were still worried about whether they would lose money. But looking back now, they suddenly feel how stupid they were! If they completely believed in Li Zexuan and built more greenhouses, then
The money they earn this time will definitely ensure that their whole family will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives!
"Go! You are so dissatisfied! Don't even think about it. Even if you wanted to build more greenhouses, where would we have the extra money to buy cloth? Now that we have earned so much money, we should be content and even more grateful! If
If it weren't for Mr. Hou, we probably wouldn't even be able to eat hot meals now!
If we follow Mr. Hou, we will definitely live a better life in the future! Look at Lao Hu in Hanjiazhuang. Not only has he become the leader of Hanjiazhuang, but he has built seven or eight greenhouses this time, and it is the eight of us.
Zhuangzi has done the most, and their family will probably make thousands of dollars this time! But who made him the old man next to the Marquis? Not only did the Marquis believe in him, but he also believed in the Marquis, otherwise it would not happen this time
We will build so many greenhouses at once!”
