Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2111

In the late summer weather, there were many people standing in front of Cheng Yaojin's mansion.

"Lu Guogong, sell some corn and peanuts to us."

"Yes, can Duke Lu sell us some?"

"Sell us a little?"

A group of people wailed in front of Lu Guogong's mansion, and after they wailed like this for a long time, Cheng Yaojin came out of the mansion, but his face was impatient.

"What are they all called?"

There was a sudden silence in front of the mansion, they were all frightened by Cheng Yaojin.

But soon, someone stood up and said, "Lu Guogong, I heard that the corn and peanuts are delicious. We all want to try it. How about selling some to us?"

After someone opened his mouth, the others started to shout one after another.

"Yeah, why don't you sell us a little, you've planted so many, let us try something new."

"Yeah, yeah, let's have a taste."

"........."

Everyone was talking, Cheng Yaojin looked impatient, and said: "Enough, enough, my ears are callused after being yelled at by you all day long. Since I want it so much, I will sell you some, but this is not enough." The price is a bit more expensive than the rice bought like that.”

In Chang'an City, the price of rice is higher than the face price. Rice is something that only wealthy people can eat casually. Nowadays, corn and peanuts are more expensive than rice, so these things are considered luxury goods.

But because even the emperor Li Shimin said it was delicious, these people didn't care much about the price, anyway, try it first.

So "" they didn't care much about the price. Seeing that they didn't mind the price, Cheng Yaojin was immediately happy, so he nodded: "Okay, if this is the case, then I will send someone to take you to the field to pick it." Well, after you pick them, just weigh them in the field."

Pulling peanuts is easier to talk about, but breaking corn is more tiring. The key is that it is uncomfortable to drill in the cornfield, so since they want to eat it, let them go directly to the field to pick it.

When this group of people heard this, they immediately became excited, and hurriedly followed Cheng Yaojin's men to the field.

Cheng Yaojin has many fields, but the corn and peanuts in only one field are used for sale. After all, the other fields will have to be cornmeal and seeds, etc., so they will not be allowed to be obtained by others.

And the corn and peanuts they sell now are not very old. Even if someone wants to buy them back and keep the seeds, it is hard to say whether they will grow out next year.

Therefore, they can sell corn and peanuts at will, but after the corn and peanuts are old, they will only sell processed ones.

These three years are a good opportunity for them to make a lot of money. They must seize it, and they must not let the seeds flow out.

A group of people left Chang'an City and came to the field. At this time, some other people had followed Yi Guogong, Yu Chigong and their housekeepers to the field to get corn and peanuts. Obviously, they all agreed.

After entering the field, although it was still very hot, everyone was very excited, and a group of people breaking corn like this, they found it very interesting and very interesting.

Everyone seemed to be afraid that Cheng Yaojin would not continue to sell them, so when picking them this time, they were all harvested by cart by cart. The entire field was swept away by these people in half a day.

Of course, many people are businessmen, they are not stupid, and they are very clear about the benefits that these corns and peanuts can bring.

If Cheng Yaojin and the others would not continue to sell corn and peanuts, then the corn and peanuts they are getting now would be in short supply, and even if they raised the price a little, people would definitely buy them.

In fact, even if Cheng Yaojin and the others continue to sell these corn and peanuts, as long as they sell these things outside of Chang'an City, those people will still pay a high price for them, because they can't buy them in their own place. .

This kind of thing is definitely profitable, so they can buy as much as they can now. Many people buy one carriage by one carriage, and some people directly buy several carriages.

After a field of corn, potatoes, peanuts, etc. were sold out, Cheng Yaojin and the others had already started counting the money at home.

Carload after cartloads of copper coins were pulled from the fields to the house, and people who watched them liked it.

"Okay, that boy from the Qin family is really nice. We paid a lot of money to go to sea, but now, the capital is returned. When the corn is mature, it will be ground into flour, or according to Qin Tian By the way, if you blow it into popcorn, it must be very profitable, okay, okay..."

When Qin Tian asked everyone to pay to go to sea, although they didn't hesitate much, they still had no idea in their hearts, and they were afraid that the money would be wasted.

Even when these seeds were brought back, they also had doubts in their hearts. Can these things make them pay back their capital, or even make money?
Now, they no longer have the slightest doubt, because when the box after box of money is delivered to the family, they really have no reason to doubt it.

Right now, they just think that what Qin Tian said is right, right.

With these things, in the next two or three years, they will be able to earn a lot of money. They decided that next year all the fields will be planted with corn and peanuts, and even more. Buying some fields and planting them on a large scale will earn more money in three years than they can earn from growing other crops.

This year, they didn't grow much, so corn and peanuts can only be sold in Chang'an City. Next year, they can be sold outside of Chang'an City. Of course, if they don't want to bother, they can just sell them directly to merchants. , but if they are a little more troublesome, they can make more money.

All kinds of thoughts are flying in their minds, no matter what, they will definitely get the money.

And when the dignitaries in Chang'an City saw that Cheng Yaojin and the others had made so much money by planting crops, they were all jealous. However, they didn't think about planting corn, which they couldn't grow now even if they wanted to. ah.

What they thought was to send more people out to sea, and they also searched for seeds, and even some other things, so that they could count money like Cheng Yaojin and the others until their hands cramp.

This feeling is very sour.

But watching other people count money is very annoying.

Chang'an City is very lively, and in the blink of an eye, it has already entered autumn.

Autumn wind and autumn mood are cool in autumn.

When Cheng Yaojin and the others started harvesting those crops, Xu Jingzong finally returned to Chang'an City with his team and cement.
