This year's wheat is growing very well; it looks like it will be a bountiful year.
Tan Zhenghong still planned to keep all the harvested wheat, including the crop collected from Xuan Eagle Mountain Village nearby.
With more family assets and people to feed, he needed to store more grain.
Like the wealthy households in town, each had enough grain to last over three years.
But it was too late to start building a granary now, so Tan Zhenghong weighed his options and decided to rent a government granary in town.
White Stone Town had a total of four government granaries, but only one contained grain; he could rent one for the time being.
He could also help Qin Longyun fill the gap left by the Yin Family.
An empty government granary would ultimately cause the common people to suffer.
Because when a natural disaster or calamity struck, if the government couldn't control grain prices, the rich households would hoard and often take the opportunity to make a large profit.
