It is an old rule that grain dealers do not lower prices. The price of one stone of wheat in the original Henan Prefecture was 600 yuan. Usually, if someone dared to ask for more, they would be smashed by the farmers who were selling grain together!
It’s not that you don’t want to buy grain at a high price, it’s that you can’t sell it at a high price.
Once the price of grain here is higher than elsewhere, the grain merchants will definitely not come back next year after collecting the grain. When the price of grain here is lower than elsewhere, the grain merchants will reappear.
This is an ancient unwritten rule. Farmers would rather compete with feuding officials or grain merchants on the quantity of grain than compete for any price.
But in years of famine, food prices are constantly changing. There is no way around it. All the original rules will disappear completely. Food becomes the most valuable thing. Food merchants are eager to collect food. As long as there is food, they will be fine.
, they will not lower the price!
Wang Yuan is well aware of all this, but there is nothing he can do about it. Now that the food price in Yangcheng County has stabilized at the usual price, this is already quite difficult.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been an unchangeable fact that once the grain is ninety-two and a half kilograms, the usual money plus the province is seven hundred and seventy yuan, and one kilogram of grain is nine yuan!
Even if the grain merchants don't bother to pay, it's only ten big bucks!
This kind of food price is already quite cheap in Yangcheng County, but it is only four cents more expensive than before.
One stone of grain was sold for only a hundred cents, which made Wang Yuan secretly surprised. He didn't understand why Ye An sold it so cheaply. It was not his temper at all!
Zhidao looked at Ye An and said slowly: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Don't regret what you said!"
Ye An showed an honest smile: "Potatoes and sweet potatoes are priced at a hundred cents per dan, but wheat costs at least 1 cent per dan!"
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "With those auspicious grains, who would use wheat to provide disaster relief? The old wheat man in the field doesn't want a single stone!"
Ye An nodded and said: "That's great! I'm afraid the price of wheat will drop again because of these potatoes and sweet potatoes in the future, and the people can finally feel at ease."
Wang Yuan looked at Ye An in confusion and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Showing a habitual smile, Ye An drank the sour soup in his hand and said with a smile: "To be honest, the yield of potatoes per mu should be more than three thousand kilograms. If the land is fertile and the growth cycle is long, it can reach up to five thousand kilograms."
Jin, as for sweet potatoes, it should be about six thousand kilograms, and these two things can be grown almost all year round, especially potatoes!"
After Ye An finished speaking, he ran away as fast as possible, leaving only two people, Xuanchengzi and Wang Yuan, who had their mouths wide open like hippopotamuses. Even if they were killed, they would never have imagined the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes, let alone these two kinds of potatoes.
Crops can be grown all year round!
If it is true as Ye An said, this is equivalent to providing a steady stream of food to the Song Dynasty! From now on, the Song Dynasty will never be short of food!
In just a short moment, Wang Yuan thought of many things, and many major events that would change the world were about to happen...
Of course Xuan Chengzi knew it, but when his words came to his lips, he turned into a curse: "What a prodigal bear! One stone only costs a hundred coins, but even a hundred coins is not much! If your parents knew about it, they would be angry with you."
You can’t die!!”
Ye An looked curiously at Wang Yuan who was baking pancakes: "Aren't you going to discuss it with Mr. Wang?"
Wang Yuan chuckled and said: "I still have the final say on this matter. What will happen if Wang Hao comes? It's just to give him a little bit of the Wang family's reputation..."
