Chapter 165 150 Liang!
Obviously, following the county magistrate and the imperial envoy is not an easy task.

"The county magistrate and the imperial envoy went to Lin Yuan's house for a meal. After the meal, they saw that they were coming to collect sweet potatoes. The price given by the court was five cents per catty of sweet potatoes, which is the same as the price we set at the beginning."

Hearing this, Su Laosi opened his mouth, but not a word came out.

Known child Moruomu.

Just looking at Su Laosi's expression, Mrs. Su knew what he was thinking.

Old Mrs. Su's face became serious, "You all remember, if you are greedy, the snake will swallow the elephant. Five cents is already not low."

Hearing Mrs. Su's stern voice, everyone's hearts tightened, and they all responded at the same time, "Yes, mother, we understand."

As Mrs. Su said, the price of five cents per pound is not low.

The sweet potatoes they grow produce three thousand kilograms per mu.

In this dynasty where most plants can only produce a few hundred kilograms per mu, what does it mean to produce three thousand kilograms per mu?
This year, the Su family planted a total of less than ten acres of sweet potatoes and harvested [-] kilograms of sweet potatoes.

One catty costs five cents, and thirty thousand catties equals 15 cents.

One thousand penny is one tael of silver. Converted, they can sell it for 150 taels of silver.

150 taels!
In the past, they wouldn't have dared to think about it.

Even now, with the income from the vegetable plot, 150 taels is still a lot of money for the Su family.

When Mrs. Su said this number, the Su family was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Su Laosi, who had felt a little pity before, was now speechless in shock.

He only thought that five cents per pound was not much, but he never thought about how many sweet potatoes there were at home.

After three or four months of farming, you can earn 150 taels of silver. Even if you have a sweet dream, Su Laosi would not dare to do this.

Su Laosi swallowed and looked at Mrs. Su, "Mom, are you right?"

Old Mrs. Su glanced at Su Laosi angrily, "Should I calculate? Can I do it? That was calculated by Butler Lin." When he heard that it was Butler Lin who calculated the account, Su Laosi immediately said nothing. .

According to Butler Lin, there must be no problem.

"What about the others?" Boss Su asked.

Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Other families don't grow as much as we do, and naturally they don't have as much money as we do. Some have dozens of taels more, and some have more than a dozen taels less."

Compared with the Su family, this money is naturally not much.

But compared with their annual income, this is already a windfall.

"Now, all the families who have planted sweet potatoes are smiling." Mrs. Su added.

Who can help but laugh?
Everyone in the Su family also had smiles on their faces.

Just like Mrs. Su said, after lunch, someone came over to collect sweet potatoes.

Many large trucks came to the village, one after another.

Basketing, weighing, and counting.

After everything was weighed, the money was calculated, the money was given on the spot, and a receipt was written.

It is one thing to know that there will be so much money, but it is another thing to get the money with your own hands.

Looking at the real money in my hand and feeling the heavy weight, my heart finally returned to my stomach.

Of course, not all of the Su family's sweet potatoes were sold, but some were kept.

Part of it is used to save seeds, and the other part is kept for home use.

In order to store it for a long time, the cellar was specially repaired before.
