Sanhe Village was not affected by the floods, and the houses damaged by the rainstorms have been repaired by the villagers. There are several blue brick houses in the village, and the village does not look dilapidated.
Baiyun's parents are both alive, his two brothers are married and have children, and he has a fourteen-year-old sister at home.
Bai Yun introduced Kang Yueran to his family, only saying that he was the boss, without mentioning Qing Pingshan.
Aunt Bai poured Kang Yueran a glass of water and emphasized that the doctor in the county town taught her that water must be boiled before drinking.
Soon, Uncle Bai came over with Bai Lizheng.
Two hundred kilograms of grain was quite tempting. Kang Yueran briefly explained the matter, and Bai Lizheng immediately said he would go and notify the villagers and ask how many people were willing.
About half an hour later, Bai Lizheng and Li Mao arrived at Bai Yun's house one after another. Both of them brought many people with them. Everyone wanted to come and listen in person.
After exchanging pleasantries, Kang Yueran got down to business.
"I have some vegetable seeds called Shawo radishes, and I'd like you to help me grow them. Of course, I'll have to pay you for renting your land. I'll pay you in two ways, you can choose whichever you like.
One is that I will give you 200 kilograms of rice or flour per acre of land. As long as you sign the land lease contract, I will give you 50 kilograms first, 50 kilograms if you plant radishes, and another 100 kilograms before the twelfth lunar month.
Another option is to wait until the Shawo radishes are grown and sell them. I'll give you silver based on the yield per mu and the selling price. If an average of 1,000 jin of radishes is produced per mu, and the selling price per jin is 10 wen, then you can earn 10 liang of silver per mu."
Everyone started discussing:
"Ten taels of silver can't buy two hundred kilograms of rice now, but rice won't always be this expensive."
"What vegetable can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu? I think 200 kilograms of rice is more practical. Selling rice can be exchanged for more noodles."
Li Mao asked, "Master, can we really produce 1,000 kilograms per mu? What do the radishes look like?"
"Radish is also called radish. Those grown in sandy soil are also called sandy radish. Sandy radish is crisp, sweet and delicious, without any spicy taste. It can be eaten raw like a fruit or made into a dish."
Kang Yueran didn't mention the variety of radish. They looked similar anyway. Once she mentioned the variety, people would have more questions. She didn't specialize in growing radishes, so she was easily stumped by questions.
She went on to say, “The fields were washed away by heavy rain this year, so the yield per mu is about 1,000 kilograms. After the fields have been cultivated for two years, it should be more than 1,000 kilograms.
Plant the radishes now and they'll be ripe by mid-October. Anzhou has plenty of water and boats. If we can't sell them all here, I'll ship them to other provinces and sell them. I'll definitely pay you in full before the New Year, and I won't default."
Li Mao was the first to raise his hand. "Master, I will follow you and plant the crops. I don't want grain, I want silver. I trust you."
Bai Yun also raised his hand, "Master, I don't want food either, I want silver too."
Old Man Bai pulled Bai Yun and said, "If you don't want food, what will we eat and drink?"
"Even if we don't plant radishes but wheat, we won't see any food before the New Year. Planting radishes makes money faster."
Everyone started discussing in low voices again.
Kang Yueran stood up and said, "Whether you're planting wheat or radishes, you need to plow the ground twice. Everyone, start plowing the land these next two days. I'll send someone here and to Lijiaji Village the day after tomorrow to register you."
Do you want grain or silver? Or half and half is fine. Wait until my people arrive and tell them."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Bai Yun said, "Master, it's getting late. It will be night when you get home. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for one night."
Bai Lizheng also advised, "That's right, Master, it's not safe for you as a girl. There are the Tiger Gang nearby, as well as the bandits from Qingping Mountain."
If they run into her, they'll be unsafe. "At noon, His Royal Highness Prince Ping, who came to Anzhou to provide disaster relief, led his men to eliminate all the remaining Tiger Gang members in Shitou Village."
Everyone was surprised to hear the news and lamented that the Tiger Gang deserved to be killed.
Kang Yueran said to Bai Yun again: "Thank you for your kindness, I won't stay. The day after tomorrow, I will ask Duan Fei to bring someone over. You and Uncle Li both know him."
Li Mao frowned and asked, "Master, how many seeds do you have? We have over 300 mu of sandy soil fields in our village alone."
Bai Lizheng added, "Our village has more than 200 acres."
This is also the reason why most people in these two villages cannot become rich. After all, the common people still mainly rely on farming, and not everyone knows how to do business.
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "There are enough seeds. You can plant them without worry. As long as they grow well, I can sell them." If they can be sold, she will sell them. If they cannot be sold, she still has the mall, and at worst there is still system recycling.
Hearing her speak so confidently, everyone felt relieved.
Kang Yueran and Li Mao left the village together. The people of Sanhe Village surrounded Bai Yun and asked about Kang Yueran.
Li Mao and others returned to the village, where many villagers were waiting for them.
Li Mao explained the situation and everyone was willing to rent out the land, but whether they wanted money or grain had to be discussed at home.
Kang Yueran did not return to Qingping Mountain, but went to Baitou Mountain. On the way up the mountain, Kang Yueran did not see a single corpse.
Xu Jiushi really put in the effort and cleaned it up very thoroughly. Later, when the village of Kaoshan recruited disaster victims to build houses, no one came to eat the Guanyin soil anymore, and no one died.
The mountain wasn't very high, so it didn't take long to reach the top. Kang Yueran wandered around, and as the sky darkened, she descended the mountain. She planned to sleep in the space for the night and return to Qingping Mountain the next morning.
There were no people who could write from Qingping Mountain, so Duan Fei went to Kaoshan Village and brought back twelve victims who could write.
The next day, he took the victims to Lijiaji Village and Sanhe Village to register.
The Tiger Gang was eliminated and Anzhou City was safe.
Kang Yueran sent her family back to the courtyard. Since He Zhengchu and his friends wanted to study, it would be more convenient for them to live in the city.
Just as they settled in, the manager of the He family came. He Yifan asked Kang Yueran to go to his house tomorrow to discuss the construction of the pier.
Kang Yueran was surprised at He Yifan's speed of doing things, but when she arrived at He's house, she realized that it was the merchants who were anxious.
The three merchants, plus He Yifan and Kang Yueran, sat together in the He family's flower hall.
Zuo Bai, the timber merchant, said with a smile, "I heard from Brother Yifan that the headmistress Kang was a young girl. I didn't expect her to be so young."
Mu Lian, the restaurant owner, echoed, "That's right, I didn't expect it to be so elegant and beautiful."
Mr. Meng Dechang, who runs a perfume and medicine business, came to Mr. Mu's rescue and said, "The little girls are all pretty and delicate." He had not expected Kang Yueran to be like this before he came. He also thought she would be a little stronger.
With the shadow of the Tiger Gang around, they were still a little afraid of her. Kang Yueran laughed out loud, "I'm just an ordinary person, just like you."
He Yifan said, "Kang Dadong's family is very nice. Let's talk about building the wharf."
Kang Yueran took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to He Yifan next to him, "I have already bought the land, and the title deed is in my name. To prevent everyone from feeling unfair, I have thought of a way to cooperate, let's listen to it.
