When Old Song heard his daughter's opinion, he was very supportive of the county magistrate's idea of ​​punishing these wealthy and unkind people.

Those tycoons always price the food at a low price every time we go to the countryside to purchase their grain.

Old Song thought that it would be best to punish these people so that they would no longer have the ability to oppress the lower-class people at will!

Song Xile was happy to see that everyone accepted her words.

She continued to make up stories: "My Lord wants to spread the news that we have high-yield bean seeds in Nanyun County. Dad, think about it, if the news of such high-yield seeds spreads, will you be tempted?"

Old Song pondered for a moment and asked, "How high is the yield of this high-yield bean variety?"

Song Xile made a three-character gesture with his hands!

"Three hundred kilograms?" Song Ping asked in surprise.

"No, three times. If it is well managed, the yield of bean seeds can be three times the current yield!"

The Song family members in the yard were stunned. After a long while, Old Song asked in disbelief, "Five hundred kilograms?"

Song Xile nodded affirmatively.

Yang even covered her chest with her hands, looking incredulous!

Song An was the one who reacted the fastest in the Song family. He asked incredulously, "From what my little sister said, the county magistrate's wife wants to give us these bean seeds to plant?"

Several people in the yard turned their eyes to Song Xile, waiting for her answer without blinking.

Song Xile nodded, "Not only that, the county magistrate's wife said that she would not only plant these bean seeds for our family, but also ask us to do a favor!"

Before everyone could rejoice, Song Xile continued, "The county magistrate's wife wanted to announce to the public that these bean seeds were grown by our family!"

"And this matter must be kept secret from the outside world. Apart from a few of us, anyone else who asks about it will know that we grew the crops ourselves!"

"Why is this?" Old Song asked puzzled.

"As I said just now, the county magistrate originally wanted to win over the gentry. If this bean seed came from the county government, the gentry might have doubts in their hearts and suspect that the news about this high-yield bean seed is false!"

"If we planted these bean seeds, and the county magistrate promised to buy them back at a high profit, then this story would be more credible and would be believed by outsiders. Don't you think so, Dad?"

"Then the master will probably allocate some land to us as payment for purchasing bean seeds. Dad, just accept the offer when the time comes!"

Song Xile's made-up excuse did make sense. After all, the county magistrate and his family had just arrived in Nanyun County and didn't have anyone they trusted!

In addition, the daughter happened to save someone else's son, and their family was born and raised in Nanyun County. It would be more convincing if they came forward!

Old Song turned around excitedly twice. There really was a pie in the sky, and it just happened to fall on his head!

At this moment, Old Song just felt dizzy!

After a long while, he finally found his voice: "Then, what if someone asks me how I got these high-yield bean seeds? How should I answer?"

"Dad, just say you found them by chance in the mountains. At that time, you noticed that the bean stalks were short and the pods were large, which was very different from the bean stalks you planted at home. Then you carefully preserved the bean seeds and tried to plant them in the backyard for two or three years. Now you have so many bean seeds today!"

Such things cannot be verified now, so she can say whatever she wants. The biggest concern of this bean variety is still its yield!

After listening to his daughter's explanation, Old Song also thought it was feasible, so he nodded, indicating his agreement!

Seeing that he had convinced his father, Song Xile looked up at the sky and said, "Dad, it's still early, why don't you come with me to get the bean seeds back!"

In order to avoid any further complications, Song Xile decided to take advantage of today to send the bean seeds to her mother's home.

Firstly, she was really not sure whether the county magistrate would be impatient and rush to the house to check after hearing that there were high-yield bean seeds at home!

Secondly, because Yun You is not around now, it is convenient for her to act!

Old Song rubbed his hands nervously and asked awkwardly, "Are we going now?"

Song Xi nodded.

When the Song brothers heard that they were going to the county town to collect bean seeds, they were all eager to try and follow along!

Song Xile immediately told his brothers to bring all the sacks in the house, as they might be useful later.

The three brothers didn't think much about it and packed up their things immediately.

Big Head and Little Head, who were standing by, heard that the adults were going to the county town, and they started clamoring to go too!

Song Xile coaxed, "You two be good, auntie will bring you some sesame cakes when she comes back!"

The two little guys couldn't help swallowing, and then they obediently watched them leave.

Old Song is still a little confused now. He just went out without knowing what was going on!

When they were almost at the county town, he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, we forgot to borrow an ox cart from the clan leader's family!"

Song Xile said nonchalantly, "We can go to the carriage shop in the county town and rent two carriages!"

In fact, Song Xile wanted to use the excuse of renting a car from the beginning to get her father and elder brother away first, so that she could secretly go to the back alley of the county government office to exchange the bean seeds!

Although Old Song was reluctant to spend the money, he had no better way at the moment. Such important bean seeds deserve no excessive attention!

After entering the city, the group went straight to the carriage and horse shop!

After arriving at the place, Song Xile stopped directly in front of the carriage and horse shop. She took out a small silver coin from her purse and said, "Dad, it doesn't matter if the fare is a little more expensive, you can rent two carriages with a canopy!"

"Come with me first, Dad. You guys rent a car and go straight to the county government office!

Old Song understood and said, "Okay, Dad has some money on him, you guys go, Dad knows what to do!"

The father and daughter separated. Old Song led his two sons into the carriage and horse shop, while Song Xile took Song Cheng to the county government office!

As soon as Old Song entered the carriage shop, the owner came up to greet the three of them.

The times are bad now and business is difficult. In the past, the shopkeeper would not have taken the initiative to entertain people dressed like the Song father and son!

Now, the situation is different. Adhering to the theory that a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat, the shopkeeper smiled earnestly at the father and his two sons.

"My dear father-in-law, what do you want?"

Before the shopkeeper could finish his question, Old Song asked hurriedly, "We are here to rent a car. Do you have any cars with carports for rent?"

When the shopkeeper saw that a few people really came to consume, his smile became more sincere.

He led the people to the carriage shed, pointed at the carriages and introduced them, "Of course we have carriages, mule carriages, and donkey carriages, all with sheds. Which one do you want, old man?"

Old Song thought that since we were transporting goods and were not in a hurry, he pointed to the donkey cart without hesitation and asked, "How much does it cost to rent this donkey cart for half a day?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Let me know, old man, the carts we rent out here are charged by the day, eighty cents a day for a donkey cart!"

"If you add a driver, it will be 100 coins a day. If you are going far away, you will also be responsible for the driver's food and lodging!"

Old Song was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm from a nearby village. I don't need a driver if I'm not going far. We can drive the carriage ourselves!"

The shopkeeper nodded with regret, "Then we don't need our driver. You must pay a deposit of five taels of silver before you can borrow the car!"

The father and his two sons were dumbfounded when they got together!
