After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Their village bought several of them in Kaoshan Village. They save effort and time and are very useful.

It’s just that the price is too high and they are reluctant to buy too much.

Xu Lizheng looked at Ye Lizheng's firm attitude and said, "Then I'll keep the improved plow, and you can take the rest."

The two started another tug of war, and in the end, all of them stayed.

"Brother Xu, Master Gu is almost done raising the child. If you have time recently, you can send the child to school."

"Thank you, Brother Ye. We are both free. Is it convenient for you to deliver it tomorrow?"

"That's convenient. I'll wait for you at the academy tomorrow morning. I've already told Master Gu and Master Yang in our village. You can go directly."

"That's great. I hope the child can learn a few more words, or at least recognize the land deed, unlike us who are blind."

Ye Lizheng talked for a while and then took his people back home as he had a lot of things to do at home.

Xu Lizheng did not let them leave and kept them at home for dinner.

Ye Lizheng couldn't leave, so he sat at a large table on both sides and drank a lot of wine. Then he drove the ox cart home under the setting sun.

Ye Qing looked at the peppercorns at home and felt anxious.

It’s all because of the Sichuan pepper. I haven’t sold it yet and it’s taking up space at home.

Tietou's injury has almost healed. Doctor Lin told him not to do heavy work, but he can do everything else.

Tietou is a person who can't sit still. After returning from Doctor Lin, he came to Ye Qing.

"Qingya, I'm almost well now. I'll go to work tomorrow."

Ye Qing looked around Tietou. He had gained weight after lying down for so many days.

"Okay, you go to the city with me tomorrow."

"I'll come early in the morning and we'll go there in the ox cart." Tietou agreed readily. He was going crazy after not going out for so many days.

The next morning, Ye Qing took half a bag of peppercorns and followed Tietou to the city.

Tietou pointed at several shops and explained their situations to Ye Qing. These were all shops he had been to.

The two stood on the street, a little confused about which store to go to and ask.

"Little girl, I think I've seen you before." A voice came from behind.

Tietou's face turned red with anger. Who is this scoundrel who talks to a girl in such a boring way?

He turned around and was about to hit him, but just as he raised his hand, he remembered something.

"You are the one who sued Manager Zhao." Tietou remembered this man. They were in court together, testifying against Manager Zhao.

"It's you. I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Thank you for catching the bandits in your village and helping me recognize Manager Zhao."

Ye Qing asked him curiously, "Are you going to take all your things back?"

"Some of them came back, but the others were killed by the bandits. They can only blame themselves for their bad luck."

"It's already pretty good. Some families have been robbed for a long time and have nothing back." Ye Qing comforted him.

Zhang Xuan laughed out loud, "Little girl, you're right. This is already a pleasant surprise. What are you doing in the city? Why don't you go inside?"

Ye Qing's face fell, he clutched the bag tightly in his hand, and said sullenly the purpose of their visit.

Zhang Xuan was delighted when he heard Hua Jiao, "Can you let me take a look?"

Ye Qing opened the bag, took out a few pills and handed them over.

"Uncle Zhang, have you seen this kind of pepper?"

Zhang Xuan said nothing and took out a cloth bag from his sleeve.

This cloth bag is a bit old and it looks like it has been worn for a long time.

He untied the cloth bag, took out a few black particles from it, and compared the two sides.

Ye Qing was a little curious and leaned over to take a look.

"Hey, the peppercorns in your hand are so old, they're about to go bad."

The peppercorns in Zhang Xuan's hand were well preserved. After so many years, they had just turned black but had not rotted.

Zhang Xuan was a little excited. "This is called Sichuan pepper. My uncle got some by chance, and he couldn't buy it anymore. He asked me to bring some to him if I saw it."

When Tietou heard that he wanted it, he quickly said, "We have some in our village. How much do you want? This one is a bit expensive."

"How many do you have? I need a thousand pounds. Do you have any?"

Tietou's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll take you to see it."

Just thought of something and calmed down a little, "In our village, we have to pay for the goods first and then hand them over."

"That's definitely no problem. Even though our caravan has suffered some losses, we can still come up with this amount of money."

After saying this, he urged the two men to take him to see it, and he went back to call the people from the caravan to go with them.

They had originally planned to leave Wu'an City today and go to other places to continue picking up goods.

If they can find Sichuan peppercorns, they can go home directly. They have been away for more than half a year and they are a little homesick.

Ye Qing thought that since this person was registered with the government, he should not be a bad person.

Two men were driving the ox cart in front, and they followed behind.

When they arrived at the village entrance, several people asked Ye Qing and the others about Zhang Xuan's identity.

Ye Qing told what he knew, and he felt relieved when he heard that it was Manager Zhao whom he had testified against.

But they were not allowed to enter the village and were kept waiting at the entrance.

Ye Qing took Tietou home and filled five bags of peppercorns to show them first.

Zhang Xuan took out a few peppercorns, put them in his mouth and chewed them. They felt numb, which was what he was looking for.

"That's him. How many are there in your village?"

Ye Qing calculated it and said, "About a thousand pounds."

"We want a lot, one tael of silver per pound, how about that?"

Ye Qing frowned a little, the price was reduced by half.

"This price is a bit low. We sell it in the city for two taels of silver per pound of dried fruit."

Zhang Xuan is a shrewd businessman. "They buy less, so it's reasonable for the price to be a little higher. I buy a lot, so I have to lower the price anyway."

Tietou and Ye Qing looked at each other, then walked over and pulled Zhang Xuan to bargain.

Ye Qing listened on the side without saying anything. She wanted to train Tietou and let him take on this responsibility in the future.

The mosquito coil business just happens to be staggered with the pepper business, so there is always something going on all year round.

Tietou is still a little concerned about his reputation and is a little hesitant when bargaining.

Just then Ye Xuan heard the news and came over, and Tietou pulled Ye Xuan to help.

The winery is doing good business now, with all kinds of people coming to buy wine every day. Ye Xuan has already trained himself.

After listening to Tietou, he pointed out the problem directly.

"There shouldn't be many people growing peppercorns in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom. Even if there are, there are only one or two. If you collect them bit by bit, it will waste a lot of manpower and resources. It's better to buy them directly from us."

Zhang Xuan saw that Ye Xuan was not easy to fool, so he had to take a step back and finally decided on one and a half taels of silver per pound of dried peppercorns.

Ye Xuan and Tietou came to discuss with Ye Qing, and Ye Qing agreed. He just asked Tietou to ask what they were going to do with the peppercorns.

Zhang Xuan watched the two men talking to the little girl and made up his mind.

I was a little surprised. Could it be that such a young girl was the one making the decision?

After Tietou and Zhang Xuan signed the contract, they asked families in the village who had peppercorns to bring the peppercorns to the village entrance to sell.

Zhang Xuan handed the weighing task to his subordinates and followed Tietou to the village.

He heard that there was a vermicelli workshop in the village and wanted to buy some.
