Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 324 The Seven-Day Covenant
"Boss, can I go home first today? I have to discuss this matter with my wife."

"Go ahead, just pack your clothes and bedding. There are spare beddings in the backyard, but they haven't been dried in the sun. I'm afraid you won't get used to them."

Jin Xiucai: "There's nothing I'm not used to. I just want to go back and tell my family about it. If my family members know that I can also do teaching work by the way, they will be happy in their hearts."

"Should be." Gu Qi smiled and nodded: "By the way, you live in the east of the city, do you have a car when you come here?"

Jin Xiucai showed a look of embarrassment: "In the past, there was a donkey cart at home, but later the donkey was short of water and food and did not continue to raise it. Now it can only be used."

"Then you wait, let Changshun take you back later."

"No, I'm in the habit of walking, so don't bother shopkeeper Li."

"It's nothing much, there is a car in the shop, and the left and right are also needed." Gu Qi thought for a while and called Shunzi who was beside him: "Shunzi, I have hired a gentleman for you.

From now on, Mr. Jin will be your big shopkeeper in the shop during the day, and will be the cashier. When the shop makes samples, he will be the teacher, and you will be the student.I will give you a chance to respect your teacher tonight, and I will send Mr. Jin back to the east of the city later.

In addition, early tomorrow morning, you ask someone to come over and help Mr. Jin deliver his belongings.Mr. Jin will live in the backyard from now on, and he will teach you to read and write for an hour after the shop is proofed every day. "

"One hour!" Shunzi wanted to cry but had no tears.

Gu Qi grinned, and patted Shunzi on the shoulder: "Study hard, don't waste Mr. Jin's thoughts."

Three days later, a big event happened in Lushan County.

Early in the morning, a new notice was posted outside the government office in the north of the city, stating that all people who hold household registration in the city of Lushan County can receive grain seeds for one mu of land on a household basis.

Soon a special shed was set up on the side of the government office, and the office staff managed the handles, and a desk was set up to register and distribute grain.

First, the residents in the north of the city got the news, and in the afternoon, the news spread to every corner of Lushan County.Soon, even in the farthest south of the city, people began to know about it one after another.
-
"Have you heard? Mr. Liu ordered someone to distribute grain. Hurry up and ask your family to bring books and go to the north of the city."

"Really? Don't lie to me!"

"No mistake, the four families of Mr. Li have already passed away, and the notices have been posted. Mr. Liu said that as long as they are the people in our Lushan County, every household can get it."

"Oh my God! This is really a big deal. The people in charge of our family are almost crying about this grain thing these days."

If there is anything more expensive and difficult to buy than rice in Lushan County, it must be grain.

The members of the Pedestrian Gang on Liuxing Street control the food and drink expenses of the entire Lushan County, which naturally includes grain.The people in Lushan County didn't care if the price of grain was high or not in the past few months.

After all, the fields are dying of drought, and the rivers have bottomed out; the water in the wells in the city is not enough for eating and drinking, and no one will spend money to buy water to fetch water from the fields.

But it is different now. After several heavy rains, not only the dry old wells in many people's homes in the city have new water, but even the rivers outside the city have gradually accumulated a lot of water.

What makes the people in the city most happy is that the dry and cracked fields have improved a lot after being nourished by the rain in the past few days.

There is water and fields, which means there is hope.

Just a few days ago, many families, like Shao Dongwu's family, went to the outside of the city to reclaim their fields.

Once the land is dug up, grain seeds become a top priority.

In the past, anyone who has a farming family will prepare the grain seeds for the next year after the harvest. But in the current situation in Lushan County, naturally no one can produce grain seeds. If you want grain seeds, you have to go to Liuxing Street ask.

The other side of Liuxing Street seemed to have seen the benefits here, so they mentioned the money for grain seeds again and again.

In Liuxing Street, today's grain is not calculated by catty but by field.And it is not calculated by mu, but by points.

It takes two hundred renminbi to plant rice seeds for one plot of land; this means that it takes two taels of silver to plant an acre of land.

The price of millet grains is lower, 150 renminbi per land, and [-] renminbi per cent of corn.

This price is undoubtedly no different from robbing. It is easier to say than robbing, and it is not illegal.

This also frightened many people who were planning to grow rice, millet and corn.Except for a few scattered families who gritted their teeth and bought grain seeds for one or two cents of land unwillingly, most of them chose to give up.

The grain seeds needed for one mu of rice field cost two taels of silver, and the grain seeds for one mu of corn field also cost one tael of silver.

It's not that the people in Lushan County can't come up with this little savings, and the people who can still stay in Lushan County now have some family background.

But this is just grain.Sowing in spring and planting in autumn, how much risk lies in it depends on the sky, and no one knows whether the food can be grown in the end, or whether the family can survive until the food is grown.

In this way, there will be fewer people willing to spend such a large sum of money to take risks.

Besides, without the grain seeds of rice and corn, it is not impossible to grow anything in this field.

Such as sweet potatoes and the like.

Unlike the old grains that are ground and shelled and then sold, the sweet potatoes sold by the pedestrians are all from the same year.

Of course, it's not that the traveler helped the conscience find out, but that unless the sweet potatoes are dried, the storage period is limited to less than half a year, and it is useless to store them for a long time.

In addition, sweet potatoes are not included in the category of rice grains, there is no risk in crossing the border, and the price is cheap, so there is no need for the traveler to make other tricks on these sweet potatoes.

For the people in Lushan County, sweet potatoes themselves can be eaten as rations, and some thin-skinned, good-looking, less pest-infested ones can also be used as potato seeds for planting.

Not to mention that sweet potatoes are cheaper than others, and the planting time is often short. Nowadays, it is the most cost-effective to save lives.

Of course, under the circumstances that there is no choice, Mr. Liu actually intends to distribute grain seeds for free, and the grain seeds are equivalent to an acre of land, which naturally caused the whole city to boil.
-
Soon, the people who lived in the south of the city also flocked to the north of the city after running around to tell each other. For a while, the originally lively Hexiang Street became deserted.

In the past few days, people have been coming and going, and the thriving business of the Four Seas Market has also become quiet.

The business was gone, and Shao Dongwu and a few clerks in the shop all looked anxious, but they didn't dare to speak. How could they not know that these clerks had also heard the news;
At this moment, he was thinking about receiving the grain seeds with all his heart and eyes. Although he was in the shop, his mind had already drifted to the north of the city following the loud voices just now.

Gu Qi glanced at the situation in the shop, and called Shunzi over: "Make a sample early today, let everyone pack up and leave first."

Shunzi nodded upon hearing the words: "I'll make arrangements right away."
