Chapter 73 He County Magistrate's Business
Jiang Yizhou's body shook slightly, and the people around him were also briefly surprised.
Master Jiang!
These three words completely distinguished Jiang Yizhou from an ordinary woman.
Then everything she did here, her unique behavior, became justified.
So if they still want to frame her by saying that women should do this and that, it won't work.
Jiang Yizhou still held his hands in a cupped position, lowered his head again, and said more sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. He, for your understanding and support!"
He Jimin laughed, "Master Jiang, you are too polite. Master Jiang has benefited the area with his own efforts and achieved what many people cannot do in their entire lives. I should thank you on behalf of the people of Yunshan."
Then He Jimin said in a louder voice: "No, I should thank you on behalf of all the people in the world, on behalf of all those who have benefited from you and will benefit from you."
Jiang Yizhou's emotions were aroused by the other party's words, and he couldn't help but get excited.
I thought to myself, it's true, there is no official who doesn't speak in official language, high-sounding, sensational, and PUA. I am really a little naive.
However, Jiang Yizhou's perfect fear and humility played exactly what He Jimin wanted.
He likes talented people and those who want to help the world and the people, but he does not like people who are arrogant or overly humble.
Jiang Yizhou is just right.
He Jimin was in a very good mood, even the depression he had felt after being surrounded by the sun for half a day was gone.
Jiang Yizhou suggested sitting down on the farm and resting for a while, but He Jimin said he wanted to go to the fields to see the bumper corn harvest with his own eyes.
Even the county magistrate went, so the wealthy gentry had no choice but to go.
The corn stalks are about two meters tall. Even though they are ripe and yellow, their broad leaves are like sickles. When you pass between the ridges, you will leave red marks on your face and hands, which are painful and itchy.
The two followers helped Magistrate He to block the corn leaves in front, so they were not cut by the corn leaves. But it was different for the gentry. They were bruised and sweaty soon, and retreated to the edge of the field in embarrassment.
County Magistrate He personally broke off a few corns and weighed them in his hand. One corn cob probably weighed about one pound, and there were two or even three corns on a stalk, which meant about two pounds.
He tore off the corn coating with his own hands, and the corn kernels inside were very full and longer than usual.
He said to Jiang Yizhou, "Master Jiang, I heard rumors outside that the yield of this improved corn can reach 1,000 kilograms per mu. I think it's more than that."
Jiang Yizhou quickly responded, "Your Excellency, this is what I heard from others when I bought the seeds. But the other party also said that the specific yield is related to the fertility of the soil, the planting density, and the later management. It is beyond my expectation that I can get such a high yield this time. It's a pity that the merchant said that he only had a few corn seeds, and he was selling them on behalf of someone else. He sold them to me and left. I didn't even ask his name. It's a pity. Otherwise, I might be able to find him and ask about the source of the seeds."
Jiang Yizhou looked regretful.
County Magistrate He could understand the meaning of her words: You have blocked my questioning about the source of your corn seeds, what else can I say?
County Magistrate He also sighed and expressed regret, but then he changed the subject: "By the way, these corns should be able to be used as seeds, right?"
Jiang Yizhou nodded and said, "Of course, these can all be used as seeds. I just don't know if the yield can be this high, but I think it shouldn't be too far off."
County Magistrate He could not help but look at Jiang Yizhou again. He had many ways to make her "behave" better, such as the source of good seeds, water wheels, threshers, etc.
But not necessary.
Because there were so many eyes staring at this place, Jiang Yizhou did not reveal any flaws that could be used to hold him responsible, which showed that the other party was indeed very careful. Or maybe this was the other party's secret.
She was able to come up with these secrets, any one of which would shock the imperial court. It was obvious that she must have a remarkable background, or... an incredible opportunity.
In his jurisdiction, he should not "kill the goose that lays the golden eggs" but should nurture them well for mutual benefit.
Oh, that’s wrong. It’s not about “supporting” them, but using one’s own abilities to provide convenience for such talents.
He Jimin had already made up his mind, so he didn't get angry when he heard Jiang Yizhou's obvious evasion. Instead, he said, "Master Jiang is really lucky to have such an opportunity. If so many corns are used as seeds, it will surely benefit more people. I wonder if Master Jiang is willing to do business with this county?"
After hearing the other party's words that were obviously trying to excuse himself, Jiang Yizhou confirmed her identity and rationalized the sources of the seeds, waterwheel threshers and other machines. In other words, from now on, everything she had was endorsed by the government and she could travel freely throughout the country.
She was touched and quickly bowed her hands to the bottom, "Thank you for your help, sir. Your Excellency cares about the people of the world, and I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse. If you have any orders, I will obey them."
After speaking half from the heart and half out of politeness, Jiang Yizhou immediately asked: "I wonder what kind of business you want to do with me?"
The last syllable of the sentence was elongated, and he raised his head from his bow to look at Magistrate He.
He Jimin said seriously, "The business that this county is talking about is that this county heard that Master Jiang had sold all the wheat seeds before. So, since they are all sold, can Master Jiang sell these corn seeds to this county? Maybe this county can promote such excellent seeds to a wider area?"
Jiang Yizhou had already guessed something just now, and now that she heard it from the other party, she must be willing in her heart. But the price...
Seeing Jiang Yizhou's hesitation, He Jimin quickly added, "As for the price, I can decide. How about the price you set before?"
Jiang Yizhou bowed once again, "Yes, I am willing. Thank you for your consideration. I am very grateful."
Jiang Yizhou finished speaking and added: "But I have another request, I hope you will agree to it."
"Tell me."
"Sir, Yunshan Farm is what it is now thanks to the help of the neighbors nearby. They put aside their own work to help me during the busy farming season, and they come to help me when there is something going on at other times. So I plan to sell it to the people near Yunshan first, 20 catties per household, according to the market price of ordinary oats, three cents per catty. I beg your help, sir."
After Jiang Yizhou finished speaking, he bowed his hands and had no intention of straightening up until he got no response.
He Jimin looked at the sincere and expectant expression on the face of the woman in front of him, and his mood became a little complicated.
