Chapter 308 Purchase of Grain
After leaving Chang'an City and heading straight to the water, the sunken light had no idea of enjoying the spring along the way.
Gao Xianzhi tied himself up, but in the end he had to come to put out the fire. After the trip outside the city, he would probably have to go to the palace of the Censor General. He would not think that choosing a song would impress the widowed husband-meng lady.
Looking at the sunny light that exudes a breath of no one to approach, Feng Changqing rode his horse behind and found Du Fu, "Zimei, you should be more concerned about protecting this marriage. That husband-in-law is not only good at singing and dancing, but also likes poetry and prose."
What else could Du Fu say? He had to respond, "Don't worry, Chief Feng, I will consider it carefully."
Gao Shi couldn't help laughing when he saw it, "Guardian Gao is sympathetic and caring for his beauty. When he saw that he just asked his husband Meng Zhongcheng to marry his daughter, how could he have so many pretentious things come from!"
"I'm not a big girl in yellow flowers. When the wedding night is blooming, there will be a rain of rain for a long time. How could this lady husband not want to do anything?"
Han'er, who were following the left and right entourage and the good families in the four towns burst into laughter when they heard this. Gao Dadu was a romantic man when he was in Anxi. There were so many concubines in the mansion. Who would have thought that he would be defeated in Chang'an City?
Chen Guang also came to his senses at this time. Gao Shi repeatedly applied to the shogunate and was unable to enter. He wasted half of his life, which was not unrelated to his straightforward temper. However, Gao Xianzhi, the boss, was indeed pretentious this time.
From Chen Guang's perspective, as long as the husband-Meng lady did not refuse it, it would be a play to get. No matter how beautiful the beauty who was famous in Anxi back then was now a widow, not to mention that she was with two children, she didn't expect that Gao Xianzhi wouldn't calm down this time. I'm afraid that if she really married the husband-Meng lady as her wife in the future, her boss would probably never have the chance to ridicule Feng Changqing.
In the farmland on both sides of the official road, farmers had already gone to the fields to sow seeds, and Shen Guang was a group of soldiers. Although the soldiers accompanying him were not wearing armor, they each carried bows, arrows, and black uniforms. In addition, the Anxi Liang horses under his crotch were tall and big horses. The power was quite great, which caused the farmers in the farmland to look at each other.
After slowing down the horse speed, Shen Guang looked at the village ahead, but signaled everyone to dismount. The place Gao Lishi chose was not close to Chang'an City, and the fast horse had to run for most of the day. Now they drove the horse for a while, so they naturally wanted to let the horses rest well.
"Brother-in-law, I wonder if there is surplus grain and horse materials in the village, which may be sold to us for horse feeding?"
Before Chen Guang and the others arrived at the entrance of the village, children had already come out to laugh and watch the fun. Chen Guang and the others were about ten feet away and they strangled the horse and dismounted their horses and walked, which also made the elderly out of the village feel much more at ease.
There are many princes and princes in Chang'an City, and they often go out for horses. They are arrogant and domineering, and they never take the people below seriously. They are arrogant and arrogant, and they are not as kind as Chen Guang.
Looking at the white-clothed young men surrounded by a group of black-clothed and strong-dressed men, the village who rushed to the village quickly spoke, "Some, some, young master, don't worry, our village has its own fine ingredients to feed the horses, please..."
"We have to hurry up after feeding the horses for a short rest, so we won't disturb your village."
Chen Guang politely declined the invitation from the village chief, who was about 40 years old, and just asked the Ya Bing to withdraw money to buy horse materials from him. As for the group, they were resting outside the village. Anyway, they rode for a long time and were just enough to rest and relax.
The village was seeing Chen Guang making a fortune and nearly half of the horse materials he gave, so he quickly instructed the half-large dolls and strong women in the village to carry horse materials and send out a hundred copper coins. The dolls were so happy that they worked very hard. There were also a few bold and careful boys who fed the horses and fed them.
"I don't know the name of the young master Gao?"
The village master has never seen the nobles passing by the village, but those nobles all send their servants to buy some horse materials, but they have their own children in the wild, using silk cloth curtains to rest. People like him have no chance to pay homage, and they have to be humiliated by the rich slaves.
"What is the name of Chen and Guang? "
"It turned out to be Mr. Chen, who is in Wei'an, and he is the village in this village."
Chen Guang was idle and chatted with Wei Village. When he was passing by the ridge just now, although he saw farmers farming, he couldn't see what they were growing. These days, he still mainly planted corn, sorghum and wheat, but he also started to plant rice.
"To be honest, our village is not far from the water supply, and we have dug a canal to divert water, so a lot of rice has been planted in the village."
Weicun was talking about the rice grown in the village, and he couldn't help but look happy, because the rain in the past two years has been sufficient, and the rice grown in the village has achieved good harvests. When paying taxes, he can save a lot of corn to stay.
Chen Guang knew that the price of rice in Chang'an was much more expensive than that of corn and wheat. When the imperial court imposed taxes in Guanzhong, he allowed the people to pay a bucket of corn with six liters of rice. Therefore, villages like Weijia Village that can grow rice will use all the rice as rent-paid medics, and leave more corn at home for grain.
Chen Guang wanted to open a winery and consumed not much food, so he naturally had to buy it. The rice prices in Chang'an City were stable, and Li Longji forced to calm the price in order to be the Emperor Taiping. Of course, in addition, it was also the place where the weather was good in recent years and the grain harvest in Guanzhong was coming.
"Wei Cunzheng, I have opened a winery and I need to buy grain. I wonder if there is any excess grain in your village that can be sold?"
Chen Guang was asking Wei Village that the winery prepared by Gao Lishi actually had a lot of grain stored in the winery prepared for him, which were all produced by Gao Lishi's manor. However, compared to the scale he was going to spread, the grain was still not enough. As for buying large quantities of grain on the Chang'an market, Chen Guang could not do such things.
"this?"
Wei Village was hesitating. In recent years, the weather was good and the weather was good. All households in the village had stored a lot of corn as food. However, everyone still remembered the days when they ate tree bark and ate soil during the disaster in the old calendar, and were reluctant to sell the food.
"Wei Cunzheng, I am willing to use Tongbao to buy grain, and the price is higher than the market. You can leave new grain and sell the old grain to me. Why not consider it again?"
Chen Guang asked the Ya Bing to take a bag of copper coins. He had already exchanged a lot of Kaiyuan Tongbao in the Western City for this trip, trying to purchase grain in the villages around Chang'an City. At this time, the conditions for ordinary people to store grain were extremely poor, and there were many old grains hoarded by the villagers, which was naturally a waste.
"Young master, please wait a moment, I'll go and ask everyone what they mean."
Seeing that the big bag of yellow and orange Kaiyuan Tongbao was full of strings, Wei Village immediately became breathing rapidly. Their countryside was naturally expensive and cheap, not to mention that the Kaiyuan Tongbao was much more convenient than silk coins. In addition, what Mr. Chen said was indeed reasonable. The food stored in the cellar was often taken out to bask in the sun for ventilation. Over time, it would inevitably become moldy and bad. It would be better to use it for money.
Soon, Chen Guang heard the exclamation from afar. The women carrying the grass were obviously moved. After all, Kaiyuan Tongbao is easy to carry and easy to collect. It is much easier to use than silk coins.
Soon Wei Cunzheng rushed back, "Young master, everyone is willing to sell some food for money."
"I will be banned from Weicunzheng first. Please do a statistic first. I will send someone to get the grain."
"Thank you, my son."
"Weicunzheng can also help someone collect grain from other villages. Anyway, the price will increase by 50% according to the market price. How much you can earn depends on Weicunzheng's ability."
