Chen Yu was very willing to give Su Deyan some initiative. After all, Beigu Mansion was too far away and beyond his reach. Instead of being unable to control it absolutely, it was better to take advantage of Su Deyan's gratitude to him and show him more kindness.
My Majesty, if you use kindness and power at the same time, the effect will be doubled.
Su Deyan was very cautious. He chose wine and sauce, which made Chen Yu very satisfied. He must choose these two if he plays it safe, because it is closely related to life. Once you like the Su family's sauce, it must be sticky enough and cannot be bought elsewhere.
nice one.
As for wine, Miao Huaixiu's matter was handled beautifully, and Miao Qinghe must be grateful. Even if Miao Qinghe doesn't know what exactly happened now, he will definitely know it sooner or later, so the competitiveness of winemaking is definitely strong enough, and even more
Needless to say, if the winemaker trained by the Su family succeeds, Miao Qinghe will realize that his status is not stable and irreplaceable, and he will be more attentive, and easy-to-use talents are the most important.
Su Deyan resigned from the position of village chief, went to Qingniu County, and elected Su Yiju as village chief, and successfully brought back the appointment documents of the county magistrate.
Everything was in vain. Chen Yu showed up, and Chen Yu really didn't want to see Liang Ziqian at this time. Before Su Deyan left, Chen Yu gave him a hundred taels of silver to buy his house and fields. This made Su Deyan burst into tears. He wanted to settle down elsewhere.
, the money is too little and it is not practical. If I sell it to others, I am afraid that fifty taels will be too much. I have received Chen Yu's help in everything.
After the autumn harvest, the yamen began to collect taxes. What no one expected was that the court would not collect corn. Now let alone Sujiazhuang, the entire Qingniu County was filled with complaints, and Liang Ziqian had no choice but to come to see Chen Yu.
"Master Liang, the Su family will be taken over." Chen Yu was really unambiguous.
Liang Ziqian was a little surprised: "Young Lord, you need to be more careful. This is a battle of wits from above. Maybe it will be over after a while."
Of course Chen Yu knows, but at this time, the Su family has purchased corn at a very good price, which can greatly reduce costs. Who wouldn't kill two birds with one stone?
"Sir Liang, I have nothing to do with the corn from other parts of Dai Viet Country, but the Su family can accept all the corn from Qingniu County. As for the price, I have to ask Mr. Liang, what is the current price of grain?" Chen Yu said.
Liang Ziqian pondered for a moment: "The weather is going well this year, and the price of grain in the harvest year will be lower. Moreover, it seems to be a foregone conclusion that the imperial court will not grow up in the Yi Kingdom. Big households everywhere are also eager to sell off their large warehouses of grain, so the purchase price of red grain is once two taels."
Of the money, the Yamen will give you a 10% subsidy."
Although it is only 10%, it is still a large amount.
Chen Yu lowered his eyes for a moment and calculated in his mind that one stone is one hundred and twenty kilograms, and one bucket is twelve kilograms. After calculating, one bucket of corn is worth two hundred coins.
"The current price of red grain in Liangpu is only 300 cents per dou?" Chen Yu asked.
Liang Ziqian sighed: "Two hundred and seventy coins per dou."
Chen Yu could hardly sit still!
When Dai Viet went on war for many years, the price of a bushel of red grain was six hundred cents. The price had really dropped so much. No wonder Liang Ziqian sighed.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu decisively rejected Liang Ziqian's proposal: "We don't need subsidies from the yamen, but we need to borrow a large warehouse to store grain for the Su family. We just need the farmers to thresh the corn, and the Su family also collects the corn pulp, but the corn kernels
Both the corn husks and the corn husks must be dried in the sun, and the corn husks will be priced at the price of the bran, as long as the people agree."
Although Liang Ziqian couldn't bear it, after the autumn harvest, the court said that corn would not be harvested, which would easily arouse the people's emotions. What the eldest prince wanted was to cause chaos in the country of Dayue. As a parent official of a county, he could not be anxious, so Chen Yu
The suggestion was a lifesaver.
In desperation, Liang Ziqian stood up and saluted Chen Yu to express his gratitude: "Xiangjun has solved the urgent need of Qingniu County."
Chen Yu returned the courtesy with a wry smile: "With all the commotion this time, the people of Lecheng Mansion are the most uneasy. The Su family also has responsibilities. We can't just sit back and watch at this time. We can only work together to resolve the immediate matter first and then talk about the future.
"
Liang Ziqian knew very well that Chen Yu was worried about whether farmers would dare to plant corn again next year. To be honest, he had been focusing on corn since the autumn harvest. The yield was more than twice that of red grain. This was really a treasure.
I can only regret that the people above are crazy! I am afraid that not many households will dare to plant crops next year, but there is nothing we can do about it.
Chen Yu sent Liang Ziqian away and immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Lecheng Mansion. All the corn in the hands of the people was collected at this price. Even if the Su family went bankrupt, they would not be able to eat so much food, so they could only let Li Sizhong take it first.
People's hearts are stable. After all, Su Silang's letter has stated that it is only a matter of time before Emperor Jiajing returns to the palace. Once Emperor Jiajing returns to the palace, a turn for the better will come immediately. Li Sizhong is his uncle, so there is no reason not to seize this opportunity.
Inside, Chen Yu will definitely put Li Sizhong into his own circle, and Li Sizhong's calmness will definitely be a good help to the Su family, and the complementary kinship relationship is one of the foundations that can make the Su family more stable.
one.
After the news of the Su family's corn harvest spread, the Su family's reputation instantly exploded throughout Qingniu County.
Originally, who among the farmers cared about this matter? Even if people in more remote areas heard about it, they would not have a deep impression. However, the Su family's corn harvesting matter concerns every family, so every household talks about Su after dinner.
Home.
Geng Ruchun got the news and hurried over to see Chen Yu.
"Mom, can we harvest so much?" Geng Ruchun is really worried. Firstly, there are many people planting corn this year, and the corn yield is very high.
Chen Yu asked Geng Ruchun to sit down and drink tea first, then took the purchase account from home and opened it and kept it at hand.
When Geng Ruchun sat down, he still couldn't help but want to persuade her. Seeing that her mother-in-law had taken out all the account books, she stopped talking and waited, knowing in her heart that collecting food must make sense.
"Our wine shop made 200,000 kilograms of wine last year, of which only over 10,000 kilograms were made from corn, which works out to two kilograms of corn per kilogram of wine." Chen Yu looked up at Geng Ruchun: "Our Qingniu County
This year there are almost 300,000 jins of corn, and the Su family can use it even if they collect it."
Geng Ruchun:......!!!
He was a little embarrassed.
Chen Yu turned the ledger to the next page: "In addition to corn, we also need to collect red grains and soybeans. Soybeans are the main raw materials for making sauce. The more the better. Ruchun can help to sort this out. The food prices are low this year.
It’s a good time to stock up on food.”
"Okay, mother, the price of food is much lower this year, and the price may not increase in the future. We should be more cautious when hoarding food." Geng Ruchun said.
Chen Yu picked up the tea and brought it to his mouth. Geng Ruchun was right. After all, he didn't know that Dayue Kingdom would still fight, but he knew that Xiao Qiyu would not give up until Chang Yi Kingdom was destroyed.
Although there is a truce now, once the eldest prince is taken care of, there will definitely be another war, so the price of food will still rise, but it is uncertain how much.
After several years of personal experience, Chen Yu is convinced that changes are an unchanging trend.
"Like spring, the Su family not only seeks wealth but also fame. Storing food is a need for the family, and it is also a solution to the urgent needs of the people of Qingniu County." Chen Yu put down the tea cup: "Looking back, every year Qingniu County's food output, we all
We need to have a general understanding so that we can adjust how our family’s business should be run.”
Geng Ruchun didn't expect that his mother-in-law would tell him everything, and she said respectfully, "Mom, Ruchun will do her best to do it."
Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Qiao Niang told me about the house, and I want to hear Ruchun's thoughts on this matter."
It's hard to get people's hearts together. Chen Yu never overestimates human nature. If you have something to talk about clearly in person, there will be less misunderstandings.
