    After the two of them finished their meal, they simply sat aside and drank tea while talking quietly.

    ¡°Your Majesty, this thing tastes really good, and it¡¯s both vegetable and food. It¡¯s really a rare ingredient!¡±

    After trying it himself, Chen Qi¡¯s last worries were all gone.

    Simple to make, practical and convenient, this thing is indeed qualified to be one of the staple foods.

    "Actually, this thing is not as good as you think. If people only eat this thing for a long time, it will not do much good to the body! You still have to eat these grains, and this thing can also save many years of disaster.  Just eat some!¡±

    Liu Deng is not as optimistic as Chen Qi. After all, compared with corn, this thing is far behind.

    However, a bumper harvest of grain can drive the development of animal husbandry.

    Of course it won¡¯t work for people if they eat it for a long time, but it will be fine for livestock.

    With more livestock at home, people will naturally have more meat to choose from.

    The Book of Rites says: The princes do not kill cattle without reason, the officials do not kill sheep without reason, the scholars do not kill dogs and hogs without reason, and the common people do not eat precious things without reason.

    On the one hand, this is because of the system, but on the other hand, isn¡¯t it also because productivity does not allow it?

    In the era of great material development in later generations, wouldn¡¯t beef, let alone pork, also enter the dining tables of ordinary people on a large scale?

    To put it bluntly, everything is too low in productivity!

    "That's what I say, but it's better to eat something than nothing! As long as you can fill your stomach with food, it's good food!"

    No matter what Liu Deng said, Chen Qi was sure of the output and taste of this product.

    Does Liu Deng have the intention to argue with him? Indeed, what Chen Qi said is indeed the view of most officials and people now.

    The two people's thoughts are not on the same level at all. If they continue to argue, there will be no result in the end.

    After all, in this era where having a full stomach is a problem, talking about the taste and how eating it regularly does not have many benefits to the human body is just nonsense!

    Don¡¯t you see that in the year of great disaster, those poor people will only end up eating Guanyin soil?

    "Okay, let's not talk nonsense! Let's talk about the price of this thing. Do you think it is more appropriate to add more weight to this thing?"

    When asked by Liu Deng, Chen Qi also fell into a brief moment of contemplation. After all, he was faced with such a huge food base.

    ??If there is a penny difference in the price, the final difference will be an astronomical figure!

    "How about three cents per pound?"

    Chen Qi thought about it for a moment, and then asked.

    "Think about the output of this thing. If it costs three cents per pound, isn't the income from this acre of land a little too high?"

    When it comes to production, Chen Qi was stunned. Yes, according to Liu Deng's calculation, this is indeed a bit too high!

    After all, if you pay three pennies per pound, you can just buy an acre of land, and the income is really terrible!

    ¡°Then according to the king¡¯s wishes, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t even be able to meet the shipping cost of this thing in the end¡­¡±

    ¡°After all, people eat horses¡¯ chews along the way, and you have to load and unload trucks.

    Chen Qi felt really unsure.

    "It's better to just leave it like this. Let's set it at ten cents per stone for the time being! After this thing is promoted nationwide, I think the market will automatically adjust its price!"

    No matter what, this is the first year after all, and the ten cents also come from selling seeds.

    ??For ordinary people, being able to buy a stone with money after eating is really an irresistible temptation!

    As long as this food can fill the stomach and not kill people, this is simply the food they dream of.

    "But if you calculate it like this, the cost of carriage and horse along the way"

    Chen Qi¡¯s face became even more ugly. From Hutuohe Gula to near Jinyang, if it was a big car, it would take at least two days.

    Coupled with the labor costs of store sales, can this still make money in the end?

    "If we want to make money, there are many other ways. We don't have to think about this kind of thing at this time! Okay, let's just settle this matter for now. I think by this time next year, we won't have to worry about this matter!"

    There were still many things to do next, and Liu Deng really didn¡¯t have the energy to waste any more time on this matter, so he simply made the decision.

    Seeing that Liu Deng has lost his patience, there will be no other result if he continues to argue.?Chen Qi simply bowed his hands towards Liu Deng and exited the room, minding his own business and getting ready.

    As for the affairs of those profiteers, Chen Qi is no longer worried at all. Ten cents per stone. In the face of this terrifying price advantage, the grain in the hands of those profiteers will probably end up in their own hands.  .

    Is it possible that they can still transport this grain back to Chang'an City all the way, or transport it to other cities in the Han Dynasty for sale?

    Not to mention, Liu Deng would not let food flow out of Dai's country. The transshipment costs alone would be enough to completely crush them.

    After all, not everyone has such good conditions as Liu Deng.

    Whether it is cattle or horses, they are definitely scarce resources.

    With so much food, we can¡¯t just rely on them to carry it on their shoulders.

    "Ancestor, we can't just tolerate this tone!"

    Outside Wang Fuqing's door, a row of more than a dozen young eunuchs were kneeling neatly, each one of them looking sad.

    They all followed Wang Fuqing out to do business.

    Although there are two of them, they usually fight quite fiercely in the nest.

    "However, Liu Deng killed one of them without making a move, which really made them feel a little bit sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, and the thing hurts its own kind.

    Especially what Liu Deng said, he didn¡¯t take the master behind them seriously at all!

    However, a whole night has passed since this incident, and Wang Fuqing has not responded in any way. These little eunuchs suddenly lost their composure.

    "Yes, ancestor! We all come from the palace. Even if this is Dai Guo's territory, he can't just kill people directly, right?"

    "Ancestor, he clearly doesn't take you seriously!"

    "These eunuchs have no other abilities, but their ability to fan evil spirits and stir up evil spirits is definitely top-notch.

    Wang Fuqing was a little unhappy at first, but now that he was so provoked by them, his whole body suddenly became even more furious!

    "Isn't he going to let the local merchants in Jinyang lower their prices? Tell me, let me collect as much grain as they put in! I won't believe it if I raise the price. Is it possible for him to pay back the price?"  Do you dare to directly seal our warehouse?"

    Hearing Wang Fuqing¡¯s angry voice coming from the room, the remaining little eunuchs were immediately overjoyed!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
