Almost impossible.
If we really encounter bad weather, then we can only say that it is fate.
Ling Ran's heartstrings trembled violently. Reason told him to agree quickly; this was the best solution!
It's only early March now. If all goes well, the potatoes will arrive by mid-next month—hundreds of thousands of kilograms of potatoes! They can be planted as soon as they arrive, and Baijiazhuang can plant another crop, allowing for another harvest in the second half of the year.
With two harvests a year here, we can expand the planting area and continue shipping goods by sea to Beidu next year...
Suppressing the urge to agree, he looked at Bai Manshan and asked cautiously, "Uncle Bai, do you know what you're doing?"
"Once the Northern Capital falls, the Bai family will be wiped out in the aftermath of the reckoning."
Bai Manshan replied with equal caution: "The imperial court did not care about the flood, and those bandits and officials almost wiped out the Bai family."
Ling Ran, Uncle Bai is no greenhorn. He knows what he is doing and what the consequences will be. If he fails, he can sell his property and move his whole family south again. At worst, he can escape to Siam!
As long as we have money, life won't be too bad, don't worry.
The opportunity is there; whether they can seize it is up to them.
Success! The Bai family has been transporting grain to the Northern Capital, which can be considered a contribution to the rise of the imperial family. They are now on the verge of becoming imperial merchants! They have changed their allegiance and are no longer lowly merchants.
After losing, the whole family moved south, leaving their homeland. Anyway, he had been to Siam before, and the climate was not too different from that of the south. Although the food was different, he brought enough money to take servants and maids with him, so it wouldn't be too bad.
The only downside is that I'll miss Shuiqing's family... Maybe Shuiqing's family will have to flee with them at that time, uh, never mind, I don't want to think about it.
Shui Qing: .....Bai Manshan has even thought of a way out?
She knew that the one from Beidu was the ultimate victor, which is why she dared to approve of Ling Ran and Da Jiang going there. But Bai Manshan didn't know that; he was also prepared to burn his bridges.
The Bai family had indeed been lacking an opportunity in the past, but Bai Manshan and Bai Ziqian seized it at this moment.
Seeing that her boss had even thought of a way out, and that her close friends and saviors were also involved, Li Huyu was filled with heroic spirit: "Alright! Let's go for it together!"
"This potato harvest is bountiful. I provided the potato seeds. Most families harvested potatoes in a 4:6 ratio, so my family has the most potatoes in the whole village. Fifty horses can only carry a small fraction of them. Should we transport the rest to Baijiazhuang overnight, and then have Baijiazhuang send them to Nandu Wharf?" Shuiqing briefly explained the weight of her family's potatoes.
These potatoes are being sent to be used as seeds, so naturally the more the better.
Ling Ran smiled and said, "Okay."
It only takes a day to travel from Shanshui Village to Baijiazhuang by fast horse, and the potatoes from Aunt Shuiqing's house can be delivered there in two or three trips.
The last batch was then transported by horse overland to Beidu.
Inside the tea room, the group discussed and finalized the weight, route, and delivery method, while the food outside was also prepared.
With so many people, we couldn't be too particular. The main dish was pork stew with potatoes, and most of the side dishes were also pork-based, served with rice. However, the food cooked in the big iron pot was especially fragrant.
The men Ling Ran brought had never eaten potatoes before, only knowing that it was a very high-yield crop. They originally came with the mission of filling their stomachs with potatoes, but after eating stewed potatoes, they were so excited by how delicious they were.
This is the food they're taking back!
