When the news that the Bai Chi family had a bumper harvest of corn and rice, with the yields almost doubled, spread, the rumors that the two were the gods of agriculture who had descended to earth became even more intense.
Especially Bai Chi and Hu Yunxiao still bought food to eat, and generously sold all the seeds from the harvest.
Of course, that's assuming they save their own seeds for the second year.
Moreover, the government office sold half of the land, not the grain tax. The county magistrate even directly exempted them from all future grain taxes - within 20 mu of land.
With Qinghe Village as the center, almost all the villagers from the surrounding villages and towns flocked to their homes during the busy farming season, wanting to buy some high-yield seeds.
Even though the rule set by Bai Chi this time is that each household can only sell five kilograms of seeds.
Five pounds of seeds were not enough to plant all the fields, but they were enough for them to keep for themselves so that they would have more seeds for the next year.
Fortunately, no one minded and expressed understanding of Baichi's approach. After all, there were too many people who wanted to buy high-yield grain seeds.
What's more, this can also prevent reselling to the greatest extent.
Only Xiao Hei was lying in Bai Chi's arms, sighing.
"Master, the drought started in early summer next year and lasted for more than half a year. The wheat was fine, but the corn and rice almost died before they could mature."
'I know.'
So he didn't sell them at a high price. All the seeds were sold at the same price as the grains sold by everyone else. In fact, no matter what kind of seeds they were, they were all selected and the price would be 30% to 40% higher than that of ordinary grains.
As for drought, he can give early warning, but it is not very effective. Even if everyone listens to him and prepares food in advance or does not sow seeds, what can be done?
People cannot live without water. Without water, food is useless.
This kind of thing still requires the help of the court.
All their food was on the ground in the front yard, dried, but not put away.
The two officials who helped sell the grain were old acquaintances of theirs. They were also worried that they would encounter the same kind of thing that happened in Qinghe Village at the beginning, so they volunteered to stay and help.
Previously, the people in Qinghe Village bought high-yield grain seeds from others, but still failed to grow high-yield grain. They bought from different people, but the final result was still the same.
This result shocked everyone. Now people no longer simply think that the people in Qinghe Village are lazy.
Is this really a punishment from God?
Because they bullied Lin Baichi back then, they can’t grow high-yield crops now?
There are all kinds of rumors, but this one is obviously more convincing.
As a result, people from Qinghe Village are always pointed at and talked about when they go out.
Recently, several young men in Qinghe Village had their engagements broken off because they were worried that their daughters would go hungry after getting married.
With high-yield grains, even if the most widely grown crops at present are only coarse grains, as long as we can produce two or three hundred kilograms of grain per acre, the whole family will not have to go hungry, and we can even sell it for more money!
But if they come to Qinghe Village, they will have to go back to the old days, so no one is willing to marry their daughters here.
Fortunately, the crops grown by the girls who married out of Qinghe Village will not be affected, which makes people feel at ease.
However, some people also said that because Lin Baichi is a boy, boys and girls have played separately since childhood. The little girls don’t play with boys, so naturally they don’t play with Lin Baichi either, so of course there is no bullying of him.
This rumor spread quickly, and almost everyone believed it, and of course, everyone's guesses were similar.
The original owner's resentment towards Qinghe Village only existed in Qinghe Village, and the original owner did not care about those who were married off.
Just as he was in a daze, Hu Yunxiao came over from the front and brought Bai Chi a bowl of fermented glutinous rice dumplings.
"What is Achi thinking?"
He thought that he seemed to be able to feel the original owner's resentment, which had rarely happened before.
Does it mean that he is connected with the remaining spiritual power of the original owner?
Bai Chi took the glutinous rice balls and leaned against Hu Yunxiao, his voice softening.
"I haven't been to the mountains for a long time. Brother Hu, when can you take me up the mountain again? I want to go somewhere farther away. We can even stay in the mountains for a few days. What do you think?"
Hu Yunxiao didn't know what he was thinking about. His throat tightened and became a little dry.
"Okay, let's listen to Achi and go tomorrow!"
