I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"Aning, my family wants to buy 200 pepper seedlings."

"My family wants 500 plants..."

Seeing her approaching, the villagers swarmed over and surrounded Song Anning and Xiao Yuanbao. Some even came close to the basket and tried to reach out to grab the seedlings.

"Don't worry, everyone can buy it. Let's sign the contract first and then take the contract to get the seedlings.

Now let’s line up in the order we arrived, it will be faster this way.”

Song Anning shouted loudly, asking Xiao Yuanbao to bring the basket into the yard, and then called Xiao Ming:

"Uncle Ming, can you write?"

"Yes, Miss Qiuyue has already prepared the pen and ink, so we can start writing now."

"Okay, you go to the stone table to write the deed, my grandfather will be there to collect the money, and Sister Yingchun and Sister Qiuyue will give the seedlings according to the deed.

For every hundred plants, give ten more. For five hundred plants, give five hundred and fifty. You can give more, but never less."

After hearing the instructions, everyone went to their respective positions and got ready.

At this time, Song Erhe also came. Song An Ning asked someone to move a chair to the middle of the yard. With someone sitting there, the order instantly improved a lot.

"Haha, you little girl, your brain works so fast..."

Song Erhe knew what the villagers were like, so he came so early to help Song An Ning with the arrangements. He didn't expect that the little girl had already made arrangements.

"Hehe, I'm just a small-time rioter, and I'm no match for Second Grandpa. I'll feel at ease only when you come out and take charge of the situation."

"Hahaha, you have such a big mouth...Okay, get started. I'll watch from here so nothing can go wrong."

With Song Erhe in charge, some villagers who had wanted to cut in line gave up the idea and lined up quietly at the back. Seeing the number of seedlings in the baskets decreasing little by little, they became a little worried, wondering if they could buy enough for their families.

The first family was Aunt Guihua’s. She had a lot of land, so she came and asked for 500 eggplant seedlings and 500 pepper seedlings.

Including the ones given away, there are 1,100 plants in total, which means one-fifth of them are gone.

"Aning, this is too little. My family wants to buy more."

"Yeah, I guess there won't be anything left by the time it gets to me."

Song Anning saw everyone's anxiety and could only explain patiently:

"This is just the first batch, Brother Yuanbao, drive the ox cart to the foot of the mountain so we can load more back."

Xiao Yuanbao had just returned from the foot of the mountain, and there were only the things he had just brought back, and nothing else.

But he thought simply, maybe Miss Song put the remaining seedlings in another place. He was just a worker, and he would do whatever his master said.

The two of them split up into two groups. After seeing everyone's purchasing power, Song Anning asked Xiangxiang to buy tens of thousands of plants this time. He was not worried about leftovers because he still had a large piece of land at home that had not been planted.

After Xiangxiang bought the seedlings, she placed them in a cave in the mountains not far away. It took some effort to move them to the car, and in order not to expose herself, Xiao Yuanbao had to do the hard work.

By the time the second truck was pulled back, the first batch of seedlings had already been sold out. Everyone was waiting anxiously. Seeing the truck piled high with seedlings, they felt a lot more at ease.

“As long as I can buy it, I’m not asking for a lot of money, I just want to have enough to eat.

The seeds are incredibly expensive this year. If things continue like this, we won’t even be able to afford to plant crops.”

"Isn't it? Last autumn, during the harvest, I sorted through all the grain at home and saved half a bag for seeds.

It’s just not enough. I’m also worried about the rest.”

Song Anning was squatting beside Wang Qiuyue helping to count the seedlings. When he heard his two aunts say this, he suddenly remembered that the dozens of tons of seeds he had looted from the Wanhetang warehouse last time were still lying in his backpack.

Wanhetang prepared so many high-quality seeds in advance, wasn't it just for now? In order to increase the cost of farming for the people, they sold the seeds at a high price.

The court's taxes have increased significantly in the past two years. Over time, the people will definitely complain and have many grievances against the court.

He made money, but lost the people's support, which was exactly what he wanted.

Song An Ning thought about this and sneered softly. Ah Li, Ah Li, it's your bad luck to meet me, Song An Ning.

If the seeds in the backpack are not enough, there are still tens of thousands of tons of seeds in the mall, and they are good seeds with a very high yield per mu.

No matter how much hatred he harbored towards the royal family, he should not have done it through the hands of the people.

This time, she would just intervene briefly. Sooner or later, she would have to confront Ali, so this was just a meeting gift.

Not only Ping'an Town, she also has to take care of other places. Thinking that Ali's plans have all failed, she is happy.

As the contracts were signed one by one, the number of vegetable seedlings on the truck decreased little by little. I thought there would be a lot left, but in the end, there were only a few hundred eggplant seedlings left.

"Come with me. I'll go to my own field and demonstrate it to you all. You can go back and plant it first.

I will then take people to visit each household twice according to the order in the contract to ensure that our seedlings have taken root and grown well."

"it is good!"

This time, Song Anning explained in great detail, and Xiao Ming's family and Wang Qiuyue were also listening attentively.

Everyone in the village has been farming for decades, so after she said this, everyone understood. After taking note of the precautions, they happily carried the seedlings back home.

On this day, the whole village was extremely excited. The peppers and eggplants, which cost 20 cents per pound, had become the hope of the whole village.

They don't have any lofty ambitions, they just hope that the coming days will be good weather and the crops in the fields will thrive.

In this way, we can have another good new year.

Song An Ning has been busy since she returned home and had breakfast. Some families have already planted their plants well, but they are still worried and call her over to check again and again.

After dinner, Song Anning called Xiao Ming over: "Uncle Ming, you should know someone who sells seeds in our town, right?"

Xiao Ming's face looked a little ugly, and he sighed before saying:

"I'm familiar with not only this town, but also the surrounding towns connected to the prefectural capital. However, in Ping'an Town, the Wang family accounts for the lion's share of the seed sales.

Do you know Wanhetang? The Wang family has been colluding with Wanhetang for the past two years.

Since last year's grain harvest, the two families have been harvesting good corn seeds together, waiting to make a fortune during this year's spring plowing season.

By the way, young lady, do you want to buy some seeds? You can go to the capital to buy them, but the travel expenses will be higher."

Song An Ning was thinking seriously about what Xiao Ming said. As expected of the perverted Ali, the method he came up with was so vicious.

Last autumn, the imperial court increased taxes. Many families could not afford to pay so much grain and could only pay with silver.

At this time, the price of seeds is increased to help the people overcome the tax difficulties, and then the price of seeds is increased several times in the second year.

As happy as the people were when selling seeds, as desperate as they are now.

She was just thinking about the twists and turns inside when she heard Xiao Ming continue:

“In fact, the seeds they collected were not good things either.

In recent years, the crop yields in the fields have been getting lower and lower. There are no good seeds. Five or six seeds have to be thrown into each hole to ensure germination.

If things continue like this, how will ordinary people survive?"

Song Anning had discovered the problem that Xiao Ming mentioned since he came here. The corn cobs here were particularly small, and many of them only grew ears but did not grow.

For this purpose, she specially asked Xiangxiang to collect two kilograms of corn for testing. The result can be imagined. The worst corn seeds in her mall are ten times better than this.

"There's no rush to buy seeds. Please write a list for me. I want to know which towns in our state capital sell seeds and what their names are.

Just give it to me tomorrow."

Xiao Ming didn't understand why she wanted this, but Song An Ning was the master, so he had to do whatever she said.

So he didn't say anything else, just asked me to send the order tomorrow morning.

"Another day has passed."
