Jinghan listened on the side. Ginseng seeds were indeed quite cheap, costing only two hundred wen per pound. A pound of ginseng seeds could grow five or six pounds of ginseng, and some could even yield seven or eight pounds, depending on soil quality. After doing the math, the ginseng seeds were really a bargain. However, it was understandable, as every family actually had ginseng seeds. Normally, if any family had leftovers, they would just steam, dry them, and wait to sell them when dehydrated. Dried ginseng seeds didn't weigh much; it was good if five pounds could dry to one pound. With that calculation, it felt more balanced in mind.
