"I'll give you 50,000 catties, no more. Remember to leave 50% of the next harvest to me."

"Thank you, sir."

"We've already bought 85,000 kilograms. How much are you selling it for per kilogram?"

"Thank you for your consideration, sir. After deducting the cost of labor, we will sell you five cents per pound of sweet potatoes, regardless of the potatoes. Is that acceptable to you?"

"Well, your family is very righteous. The government office is rewarding you for providing grain seeds."

"I heard from County Magistrate Zhu that you bought 200 mu of sandy fields. Those 200 mu are fine. Extending from the 200 mu, the government will award you 300 mu of sandy fields. With these 500 mu of sandy fields belonging to your Liu family, you will no longer have to pay taxes. We hope you can grow higher-yielding crops. What are your intentions?"

"Thank you very much, sir. We are willing to accept your kindness." Liu Daling and Liu Shinan knelt down in front of the prefect.

Huo Jinhai signaled the clerk to bring the father and son over.

"Did you hear that? Bring some more guards and the Liu family with you to measure the land, sign the contract and stamp it." Huo Jinhai said to Wenshan.

"I heard it and I'll take people to deal with it right away."

Liu Shinan walked into the yard and spoke to the village chief and his eldest brother, both of whom looked excited.

The village chief, Uncle Liu Shihu, took Xu Fugui, Liu Laizi, the clerk and many guards to measure the land.

Liu Shinan couldn't help but ran to tell his daughter and others.

The remaining bookkeepers and clerks, along with the guards, filled the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the yard into baskets and measured them, until the total weight reached 85,000 catties.

Eighty-five thousand jin, five cents per jin, a total of 425 taels.

The prefect Huo Jinhai gave the Liu family 625 taels of silver, and the other 200 taels of silver and 300 acres of sandy land were rewards for the Liu family's provision of high-yield crops.
