Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

“Champa rice seeds!”

“That kind of early-maturing seed is enough to make the fields ripen three times a year!”

"I heard that the yield is also high, with the highest yield per mu being 500 catties!"

........................

The painters in the lacquer garden were talking a lot, and their eyes were shining brightly!

"How could that traitor have such good intentions? I heard that these Champa rice seeds were planted by his Fan Family Yizhuang. He must want to sell them at a high price in Qingxi County and exploit our money!" Fang La said angrily! road.

Everyone knows that the price of Champa rice seeds has reached more than three times that of rice. The evil doctor Fan Zheng took advantage of the opportunity of direct control of Qingxi County to forcefully distribute Champa rice seeds at a high price.

This kind of thing of doing good to the people but taking the opportunity to make money is a common method used by officials. Now the people don't believe this at all.

The other painters couldn't help but hesitate. It was a good thing to have Champa rice seeds, but if the price was too high, they might lose more than they gained, especially if the money was stolen away by treacherous officials.

"You are all wrong. It is said that this rice seed is sold at a low price and is not expensive at all." The old painter couldn't hide his excitement.

"Sold at a fair price?"

"really?"

………………

At that moment, all the painters couldn't help but be shocked and couldn't believe it. After all, Champa rice seeds were so popular that even if the price doubled, they would be sold out, so there was no need to worry about selling them.

However, the Champa rice seeds from Fanshi Yizhuang are only sold at a low price. Doesn’t this give them a huge advantage?

"Could it be that Qingxi County has really welcomed Master Qingtian?" A group of painters asked with half-belief.

Fang La snorted coldly: "What the hell, Mr. Qingtian? You think these rice seeds will really fall into the hands of common people like us. I'm afraid they have already been occupied by the landlords in the city."

Officials protecting each other and collusion between officials and gentry were the most common things in the Song Dynasty. Fang La knew in his heart that even if the court came up with some good policies, it might not be their turn in the end.

The old painter shook his head and said: "You are all wrong. These affordable Champa rice are distributed to each household, and all extremely poor households can receive Champa rice seeds for one acre of land for free."

All the painters cheered when they heard this, and immediately went to inquire about the situation.

Fang La was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said: "Let's go and see what the traitor is planning?"

At that moment, a large number of painters rushed to the county to buy Champa rice seeds.

"The transshipment envoy has given orders that every household can buy rice seeds from one acre of paddy field at a fair price." Bao Kang, who was ordered to come here in Qingxi County, said loudly.

"Great!"

People in Qingxi County cheered. With one acre of Champa rice seeds from one acre of paddy field, they can harvest four to five hundred kilograms in autumn. This will be enough to plant Champa rice in all the fields next year, and they can also exclusively sell Champa rice seeds. Making a fortune is a piece of cake in the sky.

"Wait a minute, it's not fair!" Suddenly a voice broke everyone's joy.

Bao Kang frowned and saw an old man in brocade clothes approaching from the crowd.

"Master Shi!"

All the people in Qingxi exclaimed that Mr. Shi was the largest landowner in Qingxi County. His family had a lot of land, but he was extremely stingy.

Bao Kang frowned and said, "Bao is allocated one acre of rice seeds to each household according to his household registration in Qingxi County. How is it unfair?"

Mr. Shi cupped his hands and said: "Master Bao, you don't know something. The distribution according to households is indeed very fair. However, the Shi family has thousands of acres of land, while ordinary farmers only have a few acres of thin farmland. If they are all distributed according to households, how many acres will the Shi family have?" Only one acre of Champa rice seeds can be allocated to a thousand acres of land, how can it be enough!"

"Of course! My family also has a thousand acres of fertile farmland, and one acre of rice field seeds is not enough at all."

“Look, it’s only fair to divide the land according to the number of acres!”

........................

Under the leadership of Mr. Shi, a group of large and small landowners in Qingxi County started making noises.

Fang La and others couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw this. These landowners are local snakes in Qingxi County. If they join forces, they will definitely divide up all the rice seeds in Champa. Ordinary people can't compete with them.

Bao Kang's face darkened when he heard this and said: "This policy is inappropriate. If we divide the fields according to acres, farmers with little land may only be able to get a little bit of Champa rice. And the cultivation of Champa rice requires at least one acre of land to start. After the rice is planted, If there are too few, the seeds will be mixed and it will be impossible to achieve high yield and early maturity!”

"But..." Mr. Shi wanted to continue arguing.

Bao Kang waved his hand and said: "Furthermore, Champa rice requires intensive cultivation to achieve high yields. There are too many acres of land for you to take care of. Only by handing over one acre of rice seeds to each household can Champa rice be carefully cultivated." Take care of it so that you can produce more rice seeds next year.”

"My lord, what you said is true!"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

A group of people in Qingxi County cheered that this was the first time that officials personally stood on the side of the interests of ordinary people.

Everyone knows that once they plant Champa rice, they can get a lot of output and continue to sell rice seeds. Although the output of only one acre of rice field can make them a small fortune, this is a good thing for ordinary people. To others, it is extremely precious.

"Master Bao, think twice. If Master Bao is willing to take care of something, we will definitely get a generous reward. We are even willing to buy these rice seeds from Champa at three times the price. In this way, Master Bao can also contribute to the transshipment." Explain." Mr. Shi said firmly.

"Three times the price?"

Many landowners feel distressed, but they know that this little seed money is nothing. As long as they can get these Champa rice seeds, their yield per mu can be further improved, not to mention that they can sell rice to other places in the future. It's enough to make a fortune.

"Evil gentry!"

Fang La and others were furious. Seeing that they could not cash in on Master Bao, they even tried to use money to bribe him.

Other people in Qingxi County also dared to be angry but dare not speak out. After all, Mr. Shi and others are quite powerful in Qingxi County. If they offend him, they will easily retaliate.

When Bao Kang heard this, he looked at Mr. Shi and others with a sarcastic face and said, "Do you think you are the only ones who know the value of rice seeds in Champa? Don't you know the value of rice seeds in Champa? If you want to make money, there is no need to transfer this batch of rice seeds." If you bring rice seeds to Qingxi County, you can make a lot of money."

"Uh!"

Master Shi and others' expressions suddenly changed. They naturally knew that the rice seeds in Champa were vigorously promoted by the evil doctor Fan Zheng. How could they not know the benefits?

Bao Kang said proudly: "Your Excellency, the transshipment envoy, promoted the strategy of enriching the people on the two Zhejiang roads to benefit the people. Then he transported the rice seeds from Champa to Qingxi County and gave the opportunity to enrich the people to the people of Qingxi. And your family has already When we have thousands of acres of fertile land, why should we compete with the people for profit?”

"You are already so rich, why are you still fighting with us for these petty profits!" Fang La shouted while hiding in the crowd.

"That's right, it's unkind to be rich!"

“It’s unkind to be rich!”

The entire Qingxi County suddenly erupted in cheers.

The faces of Mr. Shi and others suddenly turned green and red. However, Bao Kangnai was the master of the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng was standing behind him. He had no choice but to leave in despair.

"He is really the Great Master Qingtian!"

The people of Qingxi cheered! This is the first time they have enjoyed the benefits provided by the government. With the support of Champa Rice Seeds, their lives will be greatly improved.
