On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

Song Xile nodded affirmatively, "How can I deceive you about this!"

Li held down her pounding heart and was almost so excited that she wanted to stand up.

She knew very well what the beans in the girl's mouth meant.

If Nanyun County could have such bean seeds, at least the grain production that was reduced due to drought could be replenished, and the people of Nanyun County might be able to gain more vitality!

Although the relationship between her and her husband has been damaged and they can never go back to the way they were before, they are still one.

If a disaster occurs due to drought in her husband's jurisdiction, she and her son will be implicated!

When she thought of the local gentry headed by the Zhou family, they were trying to ask her husband to release Aunt Zhou at this time.

Sparing that bitch's life was already her greatest mercy. If she allowed this bitch who tried to persecute her son to appear before her again,

She was probably so angry that she wanted to kill him!

But how could things go as she wished?

As the drought becomes more severe, people's lives will become more and more difficult.

If unrest breaks out again due to the drought, her husband, as the official in charge, will be punished first, and she and her son will also suffer!

Her family was far away in the north, and her father was only a county magistrate, so he could not provide her with any help.

The high-yield bean varieties that Song Xile just mentioned undoubtedly brought a turning point to the matter. How could she not be excited!

She stepped forward, grasped Song Xile's hand, and asked, "How many of these bean seeds do you have?"

Song Xile said with some regret: "The quantity of these bean seeds is not very large, only about a thousand kilograms!"

Mrs. Li was a little disappointed. Although Nanyun County was not considered a first-class county, it was still a medium-sized county. There were not enough bean seeds to be divided!

Song Xile could see Mrs. Li's disappointment. She smiled and said, "Madam, what you need is not bean seeds, but the opportunity that this high-yield and drought-resistant bean seed can bring to you and your Excellency!"

Li looked at Song Xile in confusion, not quite understanding what she meant.

With so many families in Nanyun County, this little bit of bean seeds was obviously not enough to be distributed. She couldn't figure out what the opportunity was, so she simply gave up thinking about it.

She asked bluntly: "Good sister, if you have any good ideas, just tell me directly! Don't make me anxious!"

Song Xile tapped the stone table subconsciously with his fingers and organized his words in his mind.

She did not answer directly, but asked: "Madam, have you ever seen beans so productive before?"

Li shook her head without hesitation, "Not to mention seeing it, I've never even heard of it!"

Song Xile smiled, "That's it. Then tell me, you have such a high-yield crop here, do you think anyone is interested?"

Li came to his senses a little and asked in confusion, "Are you planning to sell it?"

Song Xile nodded, then shook her head, "Madam, these bean seeds need to be sold, but this "sell" is not the same as that "sell". We don't want the yellow and white stuff!"

Then he smiled slyly, "In times of famine, we want what is most valuable!"

"This bean seed is now our bargaining chip. There are many people who want to get it, but whoever wants to get it in the end depends on whether they are willing to pay the price!"

Mrs. Li subconsciously asked, "Do you mean to exchange these bean seeds for food?"

Although this bean variety is rare, it is a minority after all. Even if one pound of bean can be exchanged for a hundred pounds, for the huge Nanyun County, the grain obtained is just a drop in the bucket!

Not worth it!

Song Xile simply stopped keeping the secret and said, "Madam, what we want to exchange is not food, but a promise!"

"promise?"

Song Xile nodded, "In our Nanyun County, there should be many landlords and gentry of all sizes in every village and town, right?"

"Madam, why don't you take action against these people? They are originally from Nanyun County, and they don't want to see the people of their hometown being forced into a desperate situation!"

"Although some of them are rich and unkind, as long as the county magistrate unites the majority of people and requires them to sell grain at the regular price while the drought is not resolved!"

"Then arrange for officers to inspect grain shops in the county. If anyone dares to hoard grain or drive up the price of grain, they will be brought back and brought to justice!"

"Under the heavy punishment, I believe no one will dare to commit crimes in defiance of the law!"

"As for these high-yield bean seeds, we will sell them to them at the market price. I believe there must be someone willing to accept this condition!"

"As long as everyone works together, Nanyun County will be able to survive this crisis!"

Song Xile's method not only solved the possible food shortage problem from the source, but also eliminated the escape route for those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to speculate on food prices!

This is a very good idea. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such high-yield seeds?

As long as the landlords and gentry give up some profits, the price of grain will not rise this season.

Not only can they get high-yield seeds, but their food will not be taken for free. It's just that they will lose some profits. Song Xile thinks this is worth a try!

Li was obviously very excited. She held Song Xile's hand and nodded repeatedly, "Thanks to you, I think this method is feasible!"

As long as my husband is not constrained by these big grain traders, he won’t have to be so cautious when doing things!

Song Xile said modestly: "Madam, you are too kind. These are just my rough ideas. As for whether it is feasible and what difficulties there are in implementing it, these still need to be considered by the county magistrate before making a decision!"

Li patted Song Xile's hand and nodded repeatedly.

When it comes to government affairs, she is not even as quick-witted as Song Xile, so she really needs to discuss this with her husband!

Li resolved the confusion in his heart, and the annoyance that had been lingering in his heart for the past few days was greatly alleviated.

After the two of them finished discussing the uses of bean seeds, Li said a little uncomfortably, "Normally, if my sister wants to sell such high-yield bean seeds anywhere, there will be people scrambling to buy them. Now that you are willing to give them to me, I can't treat you unfairly!"

"Look, I'll pay you three times the market price for the bean seeds you have. Or whatever reward you want, just ask for it, whatever I can give you!"

After hearing what Li said, Song Xile did not refuse!

Not to mention how much brain cells she had to spend to exchange more than a thousand kilograms of seeds from the system!

Just to say that purchasing so many bean seeds would require a lot of points. Let alone making money, at least she wouldn't lose money, right?

But she is not interested in money. If she wants to make money, there are plenty of ways to do it!

Thinking of the many seeds she bought today, she thought of the pumpkin seeds she wanted to exchange from the system!

So many seeds require a lot of land to plant!

She wanted to ask her mother's family for some land, so that she wouldn't have to worry about having no place to grow pumpkins or yams!

But people in this era would not easily sell their own land, and it would be even more difficult to buy the land if it was close to the mother's home!

Just because she can’t buy it doesn’t mean the government can’t buy it!

Those wastelands, hilltops and so on are just a matter of words for the county magistrate!

She did not directly state this request, but after a slight hesitation, she said: "Please allow me to go back and discuss it. After all, there are so many seeds, and I also need to ask my family's opinion!"

Li nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "That's right!"
