Chapter 420

Village head Zhao in Songshuwan was a little excited. He felt that he met a nobleman today, and subconsciously wanted to take good care of it.

"There is no big sugar mill near us, but there are people who come to harvest sugar cane every year. When it is good, it costs one penny per catty, but in the new year, the price will be reduced. It's also good."

Sugarcane that costs a penny and a catty they all make money. Sugarcane weighs the scales, and sugarcane in an acre of land can also earn hundreds of pennies. When it is good, it can earn a tael of silver. There are, because they are willing to plant because of the low price, and there are quite a few people who plant.

But after saying this, he felt a little regretful. He was afraid that Baijia would feel that it was too much for two pennies. Who told him that he could buy two catties for one penny.

In fact, Baijia doesn't think so at all. The profits from making sugar are there, and if you don't let the people who grow sugar cane earn money, they will gradually become unwilling to grow sugar cane. It's all a long-term business. People who are not good at killing chickens for warmth can't do it.

If you eat meat by yourself, you always have to drink some soup.

Bai Changqing said, "One penny and two catties is really low, but we give one penny and a half a catty for the sugarcane that is worse. It also depends on how far you are from here. It is not so easy to deliver sugar cane, so we will uniformly calculate according to two pennies." .”

After speaking, he told Village Chief Zhao, "You have to tell everyone about it later, and don't get involved if it's too bad."

"Of course." Village Chief Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry about this, they are all honest farmers, so they can't do such a thing."

"It must be the selected sugar cane."

After finally encountering such a good thing, I naturally want to do business for a few more years. A catty is worth a penny, and an acre of land can earn hundreds of pennies. Where can I find such a good thing.

The returning team slowed down because Baijia wanted to buy sugarcane. The men in the village didn't say anything, but they were a little envious, and joked that Baijia knew how to do business, so they could make a deal.

Bai Changqing used a tael of silver to successfully turn the village head of Pine Bay into their errand runners in this area, "The strength of our Baijia sugar factory is obvious to all. No matter how much sugar cane can be eaten, you can help us Get in touch, and I will naturally thank you when the time comes."

Village Chief Zhao's two sons blushed with excitement, and one of them whispered: "I dreamed last night that the water was rising and there was a big fish in the water. I jumped down and caught a very big one. When I woke up, I felt that today's I'm afraid I want to get rich, as expected."

The other also said: "Oh, I dreamed about falling into a cesspit last night, and I woke up feeling lucky today, hehe."

For them, opportunities just drop from the sky, and they will feel sorry for themselves if they don't grasp them firmly.

With the help of Village Chief Zhao, the negotiation on buying sugarcane went smoothly, but it was not easy to buy near Fucheng. When the sugarcane from three villages in a row was signed by other sugar factories earlier, Bai Changqing led everyone to speed up the pace.

When they arrived in Fucheng, it was already a little cool, the two brothers discussed for a while, Bai Chang'an, Bai Nanxing and his son led the villagers to take the first step back to Wenchang Village by water, and the rest of them took care of things in Fucheng.

Daoist Boundless also said that he wanted to go back first, so he followed along.

Although the Southwest Fucheng is also very big, it is much worse than the capital city. After finding a place to stay, Bai Changqing went to a dental dealer to buy a shop. Zhang Xianyu and Bai Fuer washed up and took a short rest before going up the pier.

Floods have always been in the southwest, and all the officials in the prefectural capital took it as their own responsibility to control the floods. After decades of efforts, the floods in the southwest have been initially controlled, and the rivers have been widened to facilitate the businessmen.

The pier is huge and very lively. There are large boats passing by on the river from time to time. When they arrived, Bai Changan and others were just about to board the boat.

Bai Chang'an, who had been here for a while, said, "I just inquired for a while, and this pier is under the control of the Yamen, but there is still room for berths for large boats, but there are no extra boats."

There are some small boats moored around the pier, and those boats may only pull a hundred catties, which is useless.

The boatman was urging, and Bai Chang'an hurriedly finished speaking and boarded the boat.

Bai Changqing came back after inquiring, and the result was not much different from what Bai Changan heard, "If we have to sail the boat ourselves, the cost will be too high."

Bai Fuer proposed to pay homage to the magistrate of the prefecture city first, "We are also a big taxpayer in the Southwest. If we encounter difficulties, the magistrate should help think of a way?"

Zhang Xianyu nodded, "I'm going to pay a visit to the magistrate, and I'll send someone a letter later."

After returning from the pier, Baifuer fell asleep. This time, he did not get dizzy on the way back from the capital because he had made enough preparations early in the morning, but he was still quite tired.

Caiyun is a formidable person, besides going on the road, she also has to take care of Baifuer's food and clothing. She is very energetic along the way, and even more energetic when she arrives in Fucheng. Everything she sees feels fresh.

For example, now, while Baifuer is asleep, he goes out to buy two snacks and comes back to sit and eat slowly.

The Fuya quickly responded to the message, asking them to come over tomorrow morning, and Zhang Xianyu started looking for gifts for the magistrate tomorrow at night.

Bai Fuer thought for a while, "Let's get another set of makeup powder, it's not bad to establish a good relationship with the magistrate's wife."

Zhang Xianyu found out a set of makeup and said with a smile: "We bought a lot of these things, and they just come in handy. The third uncle found out that the magistrate Yan has a couple of children. I think I will take another set of makeup and another set of pens and inks."

"Be more careful about your dressing up tomorrow. Doesn't it mean that you didn't like the pair of gold earrings very much earlier? You might need them if you bring them with you."

Baifuer asked Caiyun to find out the earrings. Either she didn't like the earrings, or they were too luxurious. Of course, the luxurious earrings should be matched with a complicated headgear and luxurious clothes. She was in Wenchang Village on weekdays. The dress is so complicated and out of place, so there is no chance to use it.

Speaking of which, why did their family have more and more money these years?
A big reason is that she makes a lot of money, and there is no room for flowers. Her sisters-in-law all sell expensive jewelry, but they have never seen them wear it, and the occasion is wrong.

After they were ready, they went to bed, and the people from the dental shop came early the next morning, saying that they wanted to take them to see the shop. Bai Changqing saw that there was still some time, so he went to have a look, and came back shaking his head. , Said that the shop is too small to reflect the strength of Baijia Sugar Factory.

"When I get out of the government office, I will find two more dental shops, and try my best to buy a decent and spacious shop."

Today, the big mule is still pulling the cart when going out. The big mule has been pulling the cart for more than 20 days. At the moment, it is already in a state of cursing, but it shuts up when it sees Baifuer. After all, it cannot afford to offend.
