Chapter 161 Potatoes

A cold light flashed in Zhao Jin's eyes, sooner or later he would make these people suffer a big loss!

"This is natural." Ning Ce has never had a good impression of these businessmen.

If they were not needed, all these businessmen who influence the country would have been expelled long ago.

Soon after Ning Ce left, they came to look for Zhao Jin without waiting for Zhao Jin to send people to look for those wealthy gentry.

"Head of the Lian family." Zhao Jin sat at the top, looking at the respectful people below.

The man has a goatee, his eyes are shining, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the wrinkles on his face all show that this man is older.

"Sir." Lian Yunshan's attitude was very good. He lowered his head and presented a folded piece of rice paper in his hand.

"This is the amount of grain that each family has sorted out. Except for keeping enough for themselves and preparing some emergency supplies, the rest are all on top."

Hearing this, Zhao Jin was a little stunned, and his eyes fell on the paper in the opponent's palm.

"You want to take the initiative to hand over the grain?"

Saying that, Zhao Jin stood up slightly and took the rice paper from Lianyunshan's hand.

Lian Yunshan put down his hand and looked up to see Zhao Jin opening the rice paper. He obviously wanted to accept the love and breathed a sigh of relief.

He then explained: "Yes, there are seventeen families in total who are willing to hand over grain."

After reading the list and the quantity on the rice paper, Zhao Jin put the rice paper down and focused on Lianyunshan, "I am quite surprised."

Zhao Jin did not hide his surprise and said it directly.

Lianyunshan smiled, with some relief in his smile, "The ordinary people just want to understand that if they blindly amass wealth and are reluctant to let it go, they will end up in vain."

"Besides, those gold and silver money are piled up there, and you won't bring them with you when you are alive, and you won't take them with you when you die, why not use them for yourself and accumulate some merit for your useless descendants at home."

As long as he took a quick look at Lianyun Mountain, he would know that he was a businessman. Zhao Jin glanced at him and suddenly smiled.

This is a shrewd businessman and a person who is willing to suffer losses.

"In this case, I would like to thank you all for your help on behalf of the people."

Zhao Jin stood up with a serious look on his face, clasped his hands together, and bent down towards Lianyun Mountain.

"Sir! This is absolutely impossible!" Lian Yunshan was shocked and wanted to step forward to help him up, but there was a table between them, so Zhao Jin could easily avoid his movement.

Zhao Jin smiled and said, "This is not just the head of the Xie Lian family."

After saying this, Zhao Jin finished the ceremony.

Lianyunshan was quite helpless, and at the same time he admired Zhao Jin even more.

"This is actually a thank you gift specially prepared by Cao Min and others for you."

Zhao Jin obviously treated them lightly last time. Admittedly, the main reason was that if Zhao Jin convicted them all at once, Yunzhou City would also face a serious situation.

But they cannot ignore this kindness.

To this day, Zhao Jin truly feels that it was worthwhile for him to let these wealthy gentry go.

Although the gentry had a lot of grain, they couldn't fill the hole, so they could only temporarily push the price of grain downwards.

Zhao Jin closed his eyes, which at least delayed some time.

After having lunch, Zhao Jin decided to go out to see the situation in person.

It just so happened that today was a holiday, so he did not go to the military camp.

People were bustling on the street. After Zhao Jin walked to the market, there were quite a lot of people coming and going.

Some people are smiling, some are sad, some are in a hurry, and some are strolling.

Zhao Jin was walking among the crowd, and in his ears he could hear the sounds of people talking, mixed with various shouts.

Yunzhou City has a separate organizational system of city and city.

Therefore, there was a long street, with shops with open doors on both sides. On both sides of the road, there were many people setting up racks, spreading their goods, and started shouting.

There are also some people who simply take a piece of coarse cloth, spread it on the ground, and put the goods directly on the ground.

The bustling market made Zhao Jin feel more relaxed.

Although noisy, it is full of fireworks.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Jin discovered that the most overcrowded store was the grain store.

Zhao Jin was walking and looking, and suddenly, his eyes froze.

His eyes fell on a rather deserted stall.

There were bags of things placed at the stall, with the mouth of the bag open and the word "grain seeds" crookedly written on the side.

It's strange, if it's a grain plant, there should be a lot of people there, so why is it so deserted, with no one in sight?

Zhao Jin was surprised and walked towards the stall.

As he got closer, Zhao Jin vaguely felt that the thing exposed at the mouth of the bag looked familiar.

Starry eyes widened slightly, and Zhao Jin couldn't help but walk quickly to the stall and take a closer look.

Sure enough, it’s potatoes!

Zhao Jin was very excited. Potatoes are a crop with extremely high yield per mu, and they don't have to choose the land. They can be grown even on wasteland or sandy land.

The vendor at the stall was also very happy to see Zhao Jin.

"My lord, do you want to buy some grains?" The hawker stumbled and said, "These are all excellent!"

As he spoke, fearing that Zhao Jin wouldn't understand, he gave a thumbs up.

The awkward stuttering, mixed with a few English words, caught Zhao Jin's attention, and he realized that this vendor turned out to be a foreigner.

Also, Zhao Jin thought, potatoes were originally introduced from abroad in history.

No one comes here, probably because they don’t know what these potatoes are, so they don’t dare to buy them.

"I want all these potatoes, how much do they cost?" Zhao Jin said this directly in English.

The vendor's eyes suddenly widened, he was even more happy, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

This is the first time he can communicate with Zhao Guoren in English!

Although this person's English sounds a little different, there is no problem in understanding him.

The vendor directly reported a price to Zhao Jin, "We are very destined, I will give you a 10% discount."

Zhao Jin smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

"grown ups!"

Ever since Zhao Jin stopped in front of this stall, the people around him were paying vague attention to this place.

When Zhao Jin wanted to buy something from this person, someone couldn't help but call Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin heard by reputation that he was an old man.

When the vendor heard the old man calling Zhao Jin, his face instantly turned pale.

"Sir!" The old man came over quickly, "Don't buy anything from this person! He is a liar!"

Zhao Jin was startled. He looked down at the potatoes in the bag, reached out and picked up one, and looked around. Except that the potatoes had sprouted, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Why do you say that?"

"Hey! Sir, you have something..."

Just as the old man spoke, the vendor quickly interrupted, "Sir, please don't listen to this man's nonsense!"

Because he was too anxious, the vendor just called "Sir", and after thinking that Zhao Jin could understand him, he simply changed it to the language of his own country.

Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
