Old Lady Yun was just thinking about how much an acre of land could be sold for. Normally, a pound of black rice would only cost about one or two copper coins unless there was a shortage of food.
Ordinary cornmeal or something like that costs about three copper coins.
Sweet potatoes are not only filling but also delicious, and one acre of land can produce so much. So how much should we sell them for?
Yun Nian'an looked at his grandparents and the villagers who were all chattering about what the appropriate selling price should be.
After waiting for a long time, they still didn't say anything.
The old village chief came up to Yun Nian'an with embarrassment and said, "Nian'an, I don't know the exact price. You can sell it at your discretion."
Yun Nian'an thought about it and felt that the crops grown by everyone should not be too different.
Some families may produce more than 4,000 catties per acre, and some may produce more than 5,000 catties per acre.
I thought that in order to save money, I could just sell it to the young general by the acre, regardless of whether one acre could produce 4,000 kilograms or 5,000 kilograms.
After making up his mind, Yun Nian'an stood up and said, "My dear uncles and aunts, this is what I think. How about you listen to it?"
Yun Nian'an said something, and the villagers around him immediately shut up and listened carefully to what Yun Nian'an had to say.
Then Yun Nian'an said, "I thought we wouldn't sell the sweet potatoes by kilogram this time, but how much per acre?
Then everyone worked together to prepare all the sweet potatoes. What do you think? ”
The old village chief was the first to raise his hand and shouted loudly: "I think!
We can save the trouble of other people's children and avoid the trouble of checking every acre of land.
It’s possible that some people have better land and can plant more! Some people's land is not good and they grow less.
But sweet potatoes can produce several thousand kilograms per mu, which is all due to the blessing of our little lucky star, so don't feel dissatisfied.
If you feel dissatisfied, please speak up as soon as possible and we can discuss it. ”
When the surrounding villagers heard what the old village chief said, they all looked at him with disapproval.
"Look at what you are saying, old village chief! It is a great achievement to produce several thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes per mu. Who can say more or less?
In my opinion, we don't need to weigh them. Just dig them out and give them all to the young master. ”
The surrounding villagers all agreed. They even felt that Xiao Fuxing's family had a lot of sweet potatoes, and that they definitely didn't grow that many in their fields.
Finally, it comes to how much silver one acre of land costs.
The old village chief and so many villagers were unable to come to a conclusion through discussion.
"Grandpa Village Chief, how about we calculate one mu of land at 35 taels?
I thought about it and realized that if we calculate it by pennies, we can earn a lot from one acre of land.
So it is better to sell it at a higher price, directly 35 taels per acre. ”
When Yun Nian'an said this, everyone was stunned.
"Xiao Fuxing, isn't 35 taels of silver a bit too high for an acre of land?"
"Yes, yes, 35 taels is too high."
"In a year, even if the whole family deducts food and drink, they can't save a tael of silver.
One mu of sweet potatoes sold for 35 taels of silver, isn’t this… too…”
Yun Nian'an looked at all the villagers with sad and gloomy faces, as if they were afraid that if he told that to the guy, they would simply not buy anything.
