Jiangmen's direct daughter is busy farming

235 Chapter 1 A lot of money is also worrying ([-])
"Why are you going back, you must go to the city today!" The emperor finally came out, he will not go back obediently.

This kind of seedling auction, everyone up and down kept it from him. It's not that he didn't know the careful thoughts of those people. They were afraid that the emperor would know that there were seedlings in Yue Wang's mansion, and then let Xiao Chenyu hand over all of them. Go to the treasury, so that some people can't get the seedlings.

So, one or two of them kept it from him, and they wanted to use their own money to buy sweet potato seedlings with an yield of ten thousand catties per mu, so as to enrich their granary.Hmph, I really think he, the emperor, is a vegetarian!

"Guest officer, it seems that you are not locals! You don't want to enter Huazhou City today, you should enter the city tomorrow!" The shopkeeper of the teahouse said kindly.

"Why can't you go in?" The emperor only knows that Huazhou City will hold a seedling auction today, but he hasn't had time to figure out what the auction will be. It just so happens that he has some time to ask someone who knows.

"Guest officer, to tell you the truth, since Huazhou became the fiefdom of Prince Yue, Huazhou is a world compared to before, and the life of the people in Huazhou is getting more and more prosperous. But what Princess Yue said is good. , She said: "There is not only Huazhou in this world. There are still many people in Xichao who are hungry. Now they can only sell some seedlings to raise some money, build more roads and build more houses for the people, and wait for the people to grow up." Only when you have a family can you have the strength to farm the land. 'Princess Yue is really a life-saving Bodhisattva for the people!" The shopkeeper added another cup of hot tea to the emperor.

After hearing these words, the emperor felt both happy and astringent. These things should be done by him as the emperor, but now his son and daughter-in-law are shouldering this burden. This makes him feel ashamed and proud at the same time. To have Song Jingyue among the royal daughter-in-law is a blessing that the Xiao family has cultivated in several lifetimes.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on with this auction?" Eunuch Xue asked the doubts in his heart on behalf of the emperor.

"Guest officer, I heard people say that this auction is 'the highest bidder wins'. To be honest, I have lived for more than 50 years, and I have never heard of any auction." The shopkeeper smiled honestly and continued, "Yesterday, The eldest son who works in the city told me that there are seven auction venues in Qibao Building, which are named after Sun Yao, Yue Yao, Jin Yao, Mu Yao, Shu Yao, Hu Yao, and Tu Yao, and they are divided into seven levels. What membership ticket fee."

"Member ticket fee? What is this?" The more the emperor listened, the more confused he became.

"I'm not very clear about this, but I heard from my eldest son that if you want to participate in the auction at the Sunday venue, you have to pay 3000 taels for the entrance fee, 2000 taels for the moon, 1000 for the gold, and 500 for the wood. Water Yao is 300 taels, Huo Yao is 100 taels, and the last lowest-level earth Yao is [-] taels." The shopkeeper recalled what his son had said yesterday, and said to the emperor again.

"Why is it so expensive?" The emperor didn't expect that an entrance ticket would cost 3000 taels, and the lowest price would be [-] taels, and [-] taels would be enough to feed an ordinary family for a year.

"Guest officer, I also thought it was expensive at first, but after thinking about it, this kind of seedlings can produce ten thousand catties per mu, and only the gods in the sky can grow them. Prince Yue is willing to take out such precious seeds after getting them. It's worth the money. I also heard that if you want to buy sweet potato seedlings for one mu of land, the base price is 1 taels." The shopkeeper said.

"What! 1 taels?" The emperor opened his eyes wide this time.

"Guest officer, don't be surprised! When I heard this number at the beginning, I was also shocked. But if you do the math carefully, this 1 taels is simply too little. Because the seedlings of one mu of land can be planted Tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes, and tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes can produce an unknown number of acres of sweet potatoes. It's like you raised a hen that can lay eggs, and then the eggs hatched into chicks, and the chicks grew up and laid eggs. As more and more chickens come, there will be more and more chickens, just like this, one chicken will soon become countless chickens, isn't this the same as chickens beget chickens, and money begets money?" The shopkeeper gave the emperor a calculation. As a matter of fact, his eldest son told him such an algorithm, and his eldest son heard it from Qibao Building.

"It seems to be such a truth!" The emperor was also stunned by this chicken begets chicken, money begets money.

"So, the seedlings in this acre of land will continuously turn into sweet potato seedlings, and finally become a mountain of food that can't be eaten up." The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with excitement. Don't have to go hungry.

"Food? Didn't you say that sweet potatoes can't be eaten often?" The emperor heard from Jingyue that sweet potatoes are good, but they can't be eaten as the main food.

"Guest officer, you don't know this. Two days ago, Princess Yue personally ground dried sweet potatoes into flour in Qibaolou in front of the people of the whole city, and also made delicious sweet potato cakes. Listen Say, everyone who has eaten it says it's delicious!" The shopkeeper pursed his lips, as if he had tasted the sweet potato pancake.

"Can sweet potatoes really be ground into flour?" The emperor suddenly stood up and asked.

"Of course, many people in the city have seen it with their own eyes!" The shopkeeper also heard from his eldest son.

"We're going into the city now!" The emperor was impatient to wait outside the city, he was going to the Qibao Building to ask Xiao Chenyu and Jingyue for clarification.

"Huazhou City is very lively, with gongs and drums beating on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month; Qibaolou, selling fairy seedlings, is full of joy from south to north; don't underestimate sweet potatoes, barren wastelands will become treasures, and you will be full next year." The emperor left. Entering Huazhou City, you can hear this ballad everywhere.

"Master, this Huazhou has really changed a lot!" Eunuch Xue remembered that when he and the emperor came to Huazhou last time, Huazhou had just risen, and now this Huazhou city is almost catching up with the bustle of the capital.

"That's right, it's really not easy for Yu'er and Yue girl to turn a dead city into a bustling and prosperous place!" The emperor looked at the changes in Huazhou city with a gratified smile.

"Master, further ahead is the Qibao Building, but there are too many people here, we should inform the prince and concubine Yue to come and pick you up, master?" Eunuch Xue saw that there were too many people on the street, and they all ran It was not an easy task for him and four guards to safely protect the emperor and squeeze to the front of the seven auction venues.

As soon as Mr. Xue finished speaking, he saw Long Wu appearing behind them, and said to them: "Master, our two masters ask you to go upstairs and have a talk, please come with me."

So, the emperor, Eunuch Xue and others followed Long Wu from the other direction of the crowd, turned a few turns, and entered the private room on the top floor of Qibao Building through the side door.

As soon as he opened the door, the emperor saw Xiao Chenyu sitting with the three old men, Song Suyun, and Jingyue talking and laughing with Yun Tanxue, Song Jingke, Tang Min, Li Ziying and Cheng Leyao.

When everyone saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.After seeing the ceremony, the monarchs and ministers all sat down again.
