After a life-and-death struggle between the two parties, a consensus was finally reached among Yun Chao's gloominess and Shopkeeper Wei's smile.
Qilu Commercial Bank used the "super low price" of 500,000 taels of silver to buy Yun Chao's family heirloom Fengyue Baojian.
"Shopkeeper Wei, what your Qilu Trading Company has paid is just a bunch of stuff that is not suitable for eating or drinking, but I have lost an ancestral treasure. I feel like I have lost a lot in this transaction. Why don't you think about it again, my Fengyue?" Aren’t you going to sell Baojian now?”
Shopkeeper Wei: "..."
…
Shopkeeper Wei left.
Holding the mirror in his arms, he left Qingyang County under the escort of two hundred guards.
Yun Chao sent a hundred guards, together with a hundred guards from Qilu Trading Company, to protect shopkeeper Wei.
There is no other way, shopkeeper Wei is really worried about the security of Qingyang County.
Qilu Trading Company had lost a thousand guards in Qingyang County, and there were not many guards left, otherwise it would not have sent only a hundred guards to escort the five hundred thousand taels of treasure.
After Shopkeeper Wei left, everyone who knew the truth admired Yun Chao to the core.
Wu Er, Li Xing, Wang Shitou and other boys looked at Yun Chao in the wrong way.
As Yun Chao's generals, they knew that the mirror was definitely not Yun Chao's family heirloom, but was made not long ago.
Even if the things produced by a few porcelain craftsmen are valuable, they are not worth five hundred thousand taels of silver.
According to what the boys knew about Yun Chao, the mirror that Shopkeeper Wei bought could never have cost more than a hundred taels.
It cost only a hundred taels, but sold for a whopping price of five hundred thousand. Is this something a human being can do?
Don't get me wrong, the boys are not insulting Yun Chao, but a compliment to him.
Because only the gods in the sky can turn decay into magic. Find a few porcelain craftsmen to make a treasure that can turn into a rainbow!
Seeing a few boys sneaking around, looking like they wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, Yun Chao felt that it was time for his little science class to start again.
However, because he would continue to deceive people in the future, Yun Chao did not talk about the refraction of light, but talked about a lot of principles why mirrors can reflect portraits, which is the phenomenon of light reflection.
After listening to Yun Chao's lecture, all the boys felt very unsatisfied. We didn't want to know why the mirror can reflect people, but we wanted to know why the mirror turned into a rainbow?
It took Yun Chao a long time to figure out that these guys didn't understand the reflection of light, but they wanted to learn the magic he taught Shopkeeper Wei.
In order to improve the quality of the mirror, Yun Chao pretended to be a ghost and said that he must use magic to make the mirror turn into a rainbow.
After Shopkeeper Wei sent him five hundred thousand taels of silver, Yun Chao specially compiled a set of spells for him.
The sky is so bright and the earth is so bright, the sun is setting in the west and the sky is dark, etc. It requires incantations and incantations, body movements and body movements, and rituals and rituals. It frightens shopkeeper Wei to be stunned for a moment. It is called a person to learn it. Pious.
Yun Chao's performance was so eccentric that even his subordinates believed it to be true.
We can't learn Brother Chao's other magical methods, and we don't dare to learn them, but we can always learn the spells taught to Shopkeeper Wei, right?
Even Shopkeeper Wei, an outsider, has learned it. I believe that someone as good as Brother Chao will also teach us.
Yun Chao wanted to kick someone.
Although he sometimes uses the power of feudal superstition to deceive people, he does not want his men to become a bunch of old magicians.
Besides, even if he wanted to teach, he couldn't because he simply didn't know how.
"Go, get a mirror, and I'll teach you spells!"
Yun Chao has a lot of mirrors at home now.
After a while, each of the boys took one side.
The young woman also took a mirror. She also wanted to learn magic.
Yun Chao didn't say anything and just asked them to throw the mirror into the water.
In an instant, the rainbow appeared!
"this……"
Everyone was confused.
"Brother Chao, have you cast spells on all these mirrors? How come you can turn them into rainbows without using spells?"
"Brother Chao is so powerful. He can cast spells on so many mirrors at once. His power is really boundless!"
"Brother Chao, we don't need to learn the spell to make all the mirrors turn into rainbows. We only need to learn the spell to make one mirror turn into rainbows."
"..."
Yun Chao: "Get out!"
…
It rained only once throughout the summer.
It was the scene when Dong Ping and Qilu Trading Company jointly suppressed bandits.
Then……
Then there is no more.
Until the autumn harvest, God did not reward a drop of water.
As a result, following the reduction in summer harvest, autumn grain harvests also failed on a large scale.
Compared with normal years, production is reduced by at least 30%!
Of course, Qingyang County is not included.
Yun Chao spared no effort in manpower and material resources and spent all his money on water conservancy. After the spring drought, he once again achieved results.
And, this time it worked even better.
During the summer harvest, the water conservancy improvement area in Yunchao was limited, and only Sanshui Town, Woniu Town, and part of Wangjiaji benefited.
The autumn harvest is different.
Yunchao's water conservancy project covers almost the entire Qingyang County.
There are very few fields in Qingyang County that have lost yields due to drought, and can almost be ignored.
Not only did most fields not lose production, but they actually increased production significantly because they were turned into real irrigated fields!
Overall, Qingyang County's grain production not only did not decrease due to the drought, but also had a bumper harvest.
Preliminary estimates indicate that the average yield per mu is 80% higher than normal!
Of course, this is not only due to water conservancy, but also to the bio-organic fertilizers that Yunchao vigorously promotes.
In addition, Yunchao also spent a lot of manpower and material resources to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of wasteland.
Although the first harvest was very small, soybeans were still planted, but the sum of tens of thousands of acres of soybeans is not a small amount.
All in all, Qingyang County's grain output this year is at least double that of previous years, and more!
This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that Yunchao has greatly reduced the exploitation of farmers and basically returned wealth to the people!
As a result, the people of Qingyang County solved the problem of food and clothing for the first time. Not only could they have enough to eat, they even had a certain surplus.
Compared with ordinary people, Yunchao has more food.
He is now the largest landowner in Qingyang County, bar none.
More than half of the farmland in Qingyang County belongs to Yunchao. Even if the land rent is only three dou per mu, it adds up to an astronomical figure!
From then on, Yun Chao completely got rid of the dilemma of needing to purchase food from outside, supported his soldiers, and became completely self-sufficient. He no longer had to look at other people's faces to buy food!
Qilu Trading Company quickly sensed something was wrong.
As if overnight, the people in Qingyang County stopped eating food. Yun's Trading Company, which used to buy large quantities of food, suddenly stopped buying food from Qilu Trading Company!
Shopkeeper Wei couldn't sit still.
He also hopes to slowly earn back the five hundred thousand taels of silver he spent on buying mirrors through the import of goods. Yun's Trading Company does not buy grain, but it still makes a lot of money!
No, we must investigate clearly what is going on. Has Yun's Trading Company grown bigger and should be suppressed?
