Don't look at Zhao Yunze's full words during the discussion, in fact, he is also empty in his heart.Whether he can borrow grain is another matter, he is really afraid that he will not be able to recover the grain debt released after the autumn.If he really wants to fill this gap himself, then he will have to go bankrupt.Don't look at Zhao Yunze's business at home now, but he is not very wealthy, that is, he has just stepped into the level of family wealth.This is still counting assets, if he takes cash, he can now get up to 3,000 yuan.Now Datang grain is very expensive, more than 500,000 catties of grain, worth more than 5,000 yuan.Zhao Yunze's current hole cards are to rely on interests to buy those squires into compliance.In addition, he did not believe that the peasants would be so rude, only borrowing and not repaying.If that's the case, it's a big deal that I really bear this famine, and three years in office will be enough to pay off the debt.If the peasants really want to borrow grain and not pay it back, then the green seedling law will not be implemented next year, and they will have nothing to say.Now that the decision has been announced, Zhao Yunze immediately took action.After the discussion, he asked Qin An to wrap a small bag of seeds from various new crops, leave the county office, and go straight to Cui Jing's house.Cui Jing saw that Zhao Yunze came to the door again, and thought that he had decided to do liquor business with him, so he happily let Zhao Yunze into the guest hall.But when Zhao Yunze introduced his Qingmiao method to Cui Jing, Cui Jing was dumbfounded."
Lord Zhao means that he wants to borrow food from Xiao Ke" After being stunned for a long time, Cui Jing asked Zhao Yunze."
Ranye" Zhao Yunze nodded, "Mr.
Cui, don't worry, I will never treat you badly."
In addition to the interest after the autumn, there is also a big gift. ”"Lord Zhao doesn't want to use business to blackmail someone," Cui Jing's face was not good-looking.Zhao Yunze waved his hand and said, "Business is my own business, but this Qingmiao Law is a public matter, so naturally it can't be mixed up." ”"Then what kind of gift does Lord Zhao want to give?"
Cui Jing asked curiously.Zhao Yunze gave Qin An a look.Qin An hurriedly walked in front of Cui Jing, took out small cloth bags from a pocket, and put them on the low table in front of Cui Jing."
This is," Cui Jing wondered."
Mr.
Cui will open it and take a look."
Zhao Yunze raised his hand and signaled.Cui Jinghu suspiciously opened the small cloth bags one by one and examined the seeds inside."
Lord Zhao, I have been in the grain business for half my life, but I have never seen these seeds, what are they?"
Cui Jing asked curiously."
This is the seed of a new crop brought back from the Western Regions by a certain trustee."
Zhao Yunze also walked up to Cui Jing, sat down opposite him, and said.Fingers like seeds, Zhao Yunze said again: "This is the seed of cotton."
The harvested cotton, which is as soft as cashmere, can be spun into cloth or stuffed into quilts and clothes to keep warm. ”"Oh, oh, what about these," Cui Jing asked again."
It's called peanuts.Mr.
Choi can try it first. ”"This can be eaten" "Naturally, you can eat it." ”Zhao Yunze directly picked up a peanut, peeled off the shell, and handed the peanut to Cui Jing.Cui Jing carefully put the peanuts in his mouth and chewed them."
Well, it's fragrant, it's fragrant."
Cui Jing's eyes lit up.As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to take the peanuts again.Zhao Yunze hurriedly blocked his hand and said, "Mr.
Cui, this kind of child is very expensive.If you want to eat enough, you can only wait until the harvest is harvested in the autumn after planting.If you eat one more seed now, you can harvest dozens of fewer seeds. ”"Uh, it's a glutton."
Cui Jing said embarrassedly."
These peanuts can be eaten raw, and they taste better when they are fried dry.It can also be used to extract oil, and the flavor of peanut oil is much stronger than that of rapeseed oil and soybean oil. ”Zhao Yunze introduced.After speaking, he pointed to the rest of the seeds and said, "These are all vegetable seeds, vegetables that Datang has never had."
Mr.
Cui understands my intentions" Cui Jing blinked his eyes a few times, and suddenly realized: "You want to sell these seeds to me" "Mr.
Cui, with our friendship, how can I sell it, I'll give you some." ”Zhao Yunze said.Cui Jing was overjoyed, but then he sank his face again."
Lord Zhao, if I harvest your seeds, do I have to lend you grain?"
"Haha, I lend grain to the county government, and then the county government will lend it to those farmers who lack grain seeds. ”"Then I will directly lend grain to the peasants, so why bother the officials of the county government to go through this hand."
Zhao Yunze said in his heart: Your interest rate is not high.My buddy's green sprouts law is to suppress your usury.Otherwise, it is not called good governance."
Mr.
Cui, you are in business, and you should be able to see the value of these seeds.When the harvest is in the fall, you can sell the seeds again, and the profit will be much better than if you sell the grain. ”Zhao Yunze followed the temptation.Cui Jing smiled and said, "Lord Zhao, I understand what you said.But then again, no matter how good these seeds are, they are new crops.Whether it can adapt to the water and soil here in Hebei, how to manage it, and what the harvest is, I don't know.If it is really planted, it is difficult to say whether it can grow into it" "You can rest assured, these seeds are absolutely suitable for planting in Hebei, and I will teach you the management method" "Hehe, I still dare not make a decision. ”Cui Jing shook his head."
Mr.
Cui, why are you so stubborn, don't let go of the money you get."
Cui Jing sighed and said, "Lord Zhao, let's tell the truth."
If you don't borrow grain, even if you sell me these seeds, I'll buy them.Big deal, be a test subject.But if you want to borrow food, you will have no bottom in your heart.It's easy to borrow food, but it's not easy to pay it back. ”"Mr.
Cui, then if you lend grain directly to the peasants, is it good to ask for debts?"
"It's not good to ask for it."
But it's easier than asking the county government for debts. ”"Mr.
Cui's character, don't worry" "Lord Zhao misunderstood, a certain naturally believes in your character."
But as you said, this is a business, not your own business.When the time comes, if the county government can't get food, I can't force you, Lord Zhao, to repay the debt yourself.Besides, the interest you give is too low, I'm losing money" As soon as Cui Jing said the key thing, Zhao Yunze was also dumbfounded.said a thousand things and ten thousand, but the interests still can't move people's hearts.After being silent for a while, Zhao Yunze said again: "Mr.
Cui, you help me now, we can cooperate in the future" He still mixed his official affairs with the private affairs of doing business.Cui Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Zhao, can you let me think about it for a few days?"
"It's okay" Zhao Yunze nodded, "But you have to think about it quickly."
This is about to be spring ploughing, people are wrong for a while, and people are wrong for a year. ”Cui Jing stretched out three fingers and said, "Three days, Lord Zhao will give Xiao Ke three days to think about it."
If you haven't given Lord Zhao a letter three days later, you can just cross me off the list of people who do business with you. ”The dividing line of "one word is a certainty" and "one word is a certainty" left Cui Jing's house, and Zhao Yunze visited several squires.However, like Cui Jing, they did not directly decide to lend grain to the county government.Zhao Yunze had no choice but to wait for these squires to consider it.In fact, at this point, Zhao Yunze had no bottom in his heart.These squires are the masters of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles.Zhao Yunze also understood that whether it was the cooperation with the squires he said to do business, or the seeds of those new crops, they were all benefits that could not be obtained immediately, and they also took great risks.And these squires lent grain directly to the peasants, but they could charge a lot more interest and much less risk.Perhaps, what people say about consideration is just a euphemistic prevarication.Zhao Yunze's anxious lips were foaming
