- "Woooo~"
On the road leading from Nanshan Village to Tieling City, several four-wheeled carriages loaded with food were walking slowly from Nanshan Village to Tieling City. The horses pulling the carriages seemed to be struggling, but the villagers who drove the carriages were all smiling. Talking and laughing.
"Brother Da Mao, you have made a fortune this year. The grain from thousands of acres of land can be sold for a few hundred taels of silver."
Ding Dazhu and Li Damao walked side by side, chatting as they walked.
Four-wheeled carriages are also standard equipment in the Liaodong region. Every household has a lot of food. In addition to steam engine-powered equipment, horses and cattle are also extremely important laborers.
The transportation capacity of the four-wheeled carriage is very powerful, and it can transport several thousand kilograms of grain at a time. Without this thing, if the mountains of grain in the house are carried on the shoulders, the shoulders will be bent even if you don't know how to carry them until the year of the monkey.
"What are you doing with your hair~"
"Although there will be a bumper harvest of food this year, the price of food will definitely be lower. Last year, it cost five stones and one tael of silver. If we can't keep it this year, we may only be able to sell it for seven or eight stones for one tael of silver."
Li Damao smiled and shook his head.
To be honest, his income this year is much less than last year, mainly because there are more steam harvesters and fewer people hire him to harvest wheat, so he naturally makes less money.
Last year at this time, he had no time to sell grain. Instead, he was helping people harvest wheat everywhere.
"No way, didn't the imperial court say it would collect grain on a large scale to protect grain prices?"
When Ding Dazhu heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"What's the point of a bumper harvest without an increase in income? Don't end up working hard for a year and end up with very little money. You can count on selling the grain to repay the bank loan.
"There is too much food, and the imperial court may not purchase so much food."
"This food can't be eaten all and the imperial court collects it. It will go bad if it is left for a long time."
"So in the end, the price of food will definitely fall."
Li Damao said helplessly.
The land in Liaodong is really fertile, with black soil and plains. Everything grows well.
Amid everyone¡¯s chatting, they arrived at Tieling City.
At this time, the entire Tieling City was immersed in a sea of ??food. Four-wheeled carriages could be seen everywhere, dragging carts full of food, constantly transporting them to Tieling City, so much so that they gathered near the cement road outside Tieling City. Lots of wagons.
The four-wheeled carriage was filled with farmers who came to sell grain, and everyone looked very anxious. As soon as they saw the merchants who came to collect grain, everyone immediately surrounded them.
"Eight stones of grain and one tael of silver will be sold and shipped to Sihai Grain Store in Xicheng!"
There was a businessman holding a tin trumpet and shouting loudly to everyone as he walked.
"Eight stones of grain can only be sold for one tael of silver. This is too outrageous. The price drop has not dropped to such an extent."
"Last year, I could still sell five shi of grain for one tael of silver."
"That's right, that's right~"
"In the past, when we were in our hometown in Shaanxi, this food was very valuable. In years of famine, not to mention one stone of food, sometimes a bag of food could be exchanged for a yellow flower girl."
"Look at our wheat in Liaodong, how good it is, but it costs eight stones to exchange for one tael of silver."
"These black-hearted businessmen, they all work together to lower prices."
"They work together to lower the price when harvesting grain. If there is a famine, they join forces to raise the price. This is their usual method."
"Isn't that right? A black-hearted businessman."
Hearing the merchant¡¯s shouting, many farmers who came to sell grain couldn¡¯t help but curse.
This price is really too low.
Eight stones of grain cost one tael of silver, a price that had never been seen before.
"Brother Da Mao, what should we do?"
"Eight stones of grain can be sold for one tael of silver. We have worked so hard for a year and we can't sell it for much silver."
Ding Dazhu was also anxious. The price was really too low.
There are too many farmers here in Tieling City who are unwilling to sell their grain at such a low price, so everyone is waiting to see if there is anyone with a higher bid.
"These merchants must have unified prices, no matter which one you ask, it's the same."
Li Damao seemed very calm because he had anticipated the scene before him.
To be honest, these businessmen are disgusting, but this business is between you and me, buying and selling is free, and the food??I also want to plant Chinese cabbage on a large scale. I heard that the price of cabbage is very high in the winter in the Beijing-Tianjin area. A single cabbage can be sold for dozens of yuan. "
Li Damao looked at Ding Dazhu and said.
¡°Where did you see the information?¡±
Ding Dazhu expressed his doubts. Raising pigs, cattle and sheep was still reasonable, but he was tired of eating whatever the Chinese cabbage had to offer.
"In the teahouse, I heard what the newspaper reader in the teahouse said, and I think it's right. I bought this steam cultivator and harvester because of what the people there said."
"It's a pity that we can't read. It would be great if we could read by ourselves, so that we can read the newspapers by ourselves."
Li Damao said with some regret that he now feels more and more important about knowledge and information.
???????????????????????????????????????????????? I thought it was okay if I didn¡¯t know a single Chinese character, but now it seems that I still need to know some characters.
¡°Not only do I grow soybeans and cabbage, I also plan to buy some piglets to raise pigs. I heard that the price of pork has been rising in the Beijing-Tianjin area.¡±
"People in the Beijing-Tianjin area are rich and have a large population. It is said that tens of thousands of pigs are killed in Tianjin every day. Think about it, how many pigs must be killed this year to meet their needs."
"So, learn from it, buy some piglets with me, and raise some pigs at home. The price of food is low anyway, and raising pigs is more cost-effective than farming."
Li Damao said very confidently that newspapers provide people with a broader vision and can know more information. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
