"Don't talk nonsense! This Mr. Shen is the second son of General Shen. The cheap food you buy is from Shen Ji. Without Shen Ji, you might have starved to death."
Lao Li was furious. Blowing his beard and staring, in the carriage, he had inquired about Mr. Shen's identity and the price of the fruit saplings.
Shen Zhiqing was not angry. He winked and asked Wangyou to bring fifteen kinds of fruit trees to the villagers, as well as fruit tree seeds and vegetable seeds.
He also thoughtfully prepared more than a dozen planting manuals and pictures to help the villagers build trust in him.
Wangyou introduces each fruit tree one by one, such as planting methods, advantages and yield.
After working hard for an hour, I finally gained a lot.
Thirty households each need an average of 100 fruit saplings.
Each family needs half a catty of fruit seeds and half a catty of vegetable seeds.
A total of 3,000 fruit saplings, 15 kilograms of fruit seeds, and 15 kilograms of vegetable seeds were purchased.
The main reason is that the price is cheap, twenty cents, and a hundred fruit saplings cost only two thousand cents, which is two taels of silver.
Fruit seeds are sold for one tael of silver per catty, and vegetable seeds are also sold for one tael of silver per catty.
Shen Zhiqing sent ten fruit tree handlers and vegetable handlers, and they immediately went to the mountains to teach the villagers to plant fruit trees.
It took an hour to teach a few villagers who were good at growing fruit trees and vegetables.
For example, fruit thinning and fertilization are done in scientific ways according to the planting manual.
Shen Zhiqing received ninety taels of silver. After accounting, he asked Wangyou to store the money.
"Old Li Zheng, I have to continue my journey, and time is running out.
If you have anything to do, you can go to Nanyuan Manor to find Butler Wu, or go to the capital to find the General's Mansion. Someone will definitely be sent to solve your problem. I hereby guarantee that these fruits and vegetables Don't worry about no sales. "
"Okay, I believe Mr. Shen, I wish you a safe journey."
...
Shen Zhiqing set out on his way south again, passing through a small town before dark, and stayed at an inn to rest for one night.
The next day, early morning.
Shen Zhiqing led the team to the nearest village. After checking the situation in the village, he took people to visit Li Zheng and successfully pushed out fruit saplings and vegetable seeds.
There are fifty households in this village, and they have purchased a total of 10,000 fruit saplings, fifty kilograms of fruit seeds, and fifty kilograms of vegetable seeds.
Shen Zhiqing received three hundred taels of silver. The village was relatively large and the terrain was suitable for a variety of vegetables and fruits such as watermelon.
After all the follow-up work was completed, Shen Zhiqing led the team to the nearby village and sold another 7,000 saplings, 30 kilograms of fruit seeds, and 40 kilograms of vegetable seeds.
A total of two hundred and seventy taels were collected.
On the third day, the sky was slightly bright.
Shen Zhiqing led the team to the third village and easily sold 15,000 fruit saplings, 40 kilograms of fruit seeds, and 50 kilograms of vegetable seeds.
After receiving three hundred and ninety taels of silver, Shen Zhiqing would quietly give some "weak" fruit trees to some particularly poor families.
In the afternoon, he went to the fourth village and used the same method to sell 10,000 fruit saplings, 30 kilograms of fruit seeds, and 50 kilograms of vegetable seeds.
Received two hundred and eighty taels of silver.
After a busy day, Shen Zhiqing returned to the inn and recorded the situation, product data and income of the two days.
He found that at this rate, he would not be able to sell all three or four hundred thousand fruit trees within ten days.
We must think of a good way. In the early morning
of the fourth day, Shen Zhiqing led his team to the next prefecture, passing through a county town, and after entering, he booked an inn to rest. Then he asked Wangyou to buy a gong and beat it, leading passers-by to the door of the inn. Five young men moved fifteen kinds of fruit trees to the roadside and placed them along with fruit seeds and vegetable seeds.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, sisters and brothers, don't miss it when you pass by. This is a new type of fruit tree cultivated by my son. It is drought-resistant, cold-resistant, resistant to diseases and insect pests, and is very good."
"It tastes sweet, has a good texture, and has a high yield . , guaranteed to make everyone a lot of money."
"This seed is called a watermelon. It is round and big, and the red flesh is sweet, crisp and juicy. It is a magic weapon to relieve the heat in summer.
This seed is called a small tomato. It's sweet and juicy, and the girl's skin becomes rosy after eating it, and everyone loves it."
Wangyou sang while holding a bamboo board, which immediately attracted dozens of passers-by.
"Brother, what you said is so good, but we have never seen these fruit trees. What if you lied to us?"
"That's right, we don't even know who your young master is."
"These fruits are yours. It's so good, why don't you plant it in your house?"
Several passers-by started to boo.
"Don't worry, everyone. My name is Wangyou. Let me introduce you to this young master. He is my master. His surname is Shen and his given name is Zhiqing.
He is the second young master of the General's Mansion in the capital. These new varieties of fruit trees and seeds are from my general. "Bring them back from the border."
"These pictures are of new varieties of fruits. Please take a look."
Wangyou handed out more than twenty pieces of drawing paper to passers-by.
After seeing the drawing paper, many passers-by exclaimed.
It's not that the fruit trees are so beautiful or strange, but the pictures on the paper are really lifelike and the painting skills are superb.
The signature is exactly the three characters "Shen Zhijie".
"This painting was made by my fourth brother. In the name of the General's Mansion, I guarantee that these fruits are genuine and teach them how to grow them.
Each fruit tree sells for twenty coins, and each family is limited to purchasing one thousand. One fruit seed and one vegetable seed. Each pound is sold for one tael of silver, and each family is limited to one pound. "
You can take a closer look at these fruit trees and seeds, and think about it with your family when you go back. In terms of benefits, it will definitely increase your wallet five times,"
Shen Zhiqing said . He stood up and turned the volume up to the maximum. After speaking, he sat down on the chair and sorted out the account books.
He didn't care at all about the strange looks and comments from passers-by.
A total of 45,000 fruit saplings were sold the day before yesterday and yesterday, and 500 fruit trees were reported damaged.
We also sold 165 kilograms of fruit seeds and 205 kilograms of vegetable seeds.
"Ah? Purchase restriction? Why? Can't I just buy tens of thousands of them?"
"Twenty cents per fruit sapling is quite cheap. I think these fruit trees have reached the fruiting period."
"One pound of seeds only costs one tael . ? It can't be a bad seed!"
Passers-by began to doubt Shen Zhiqing again, but he did not explain.
Fruit saplings and seeds are placed in front of you, and it is clear whether they are good or bad.
Any normal person, or someone who goes to the fields all year round, can tell that the appearance is of the highest quality.
Passers-by came one after another. In a short period of time, everyone in the county knew that someone was selling fruit trees and seeds at low prices.
It just so happened that today was the day to go to the market. After going back and forth, farmers in more than a dozen nearby villages soon knew that something good was going on.
In particular, a young man told them that General Shen of the General's Mansion in the capital specifically supported the common people in agricultural production. As long as they planted new varieties of fruit trees and vegetables, they would be able to make a fortune this year.
Li Zheng from several villages was keenly aware of the new business opportunities and immediately took dozens of villagers to the county to understand the specific situation.
Shen Zhiqing specially received them and introduced in detail the varieties and advantages of fruit trees, their yields, etc.
So three Li Zheng immediately ordered fruit trees and seeds.
