Soon, Han Xi began to return to the county with hundreds of soldiers.
Chen Changnian and his three sons followed, followed by hundreds of people who wanted to watch the fun.
They all wanted to see if Chen Changnian really got money.
Just like that, more than an hour later.
A group of people returned to the county town.
Han Xi and others hurried back to the county government office.
Chen Changsheng and his sons were taken to a bank not far from the county government office.
There were more than a hundred people outside the bank. Many people in the city heard that a family in Chenjiagou had earned more than 400 taels from farming, so they came from all directions.
The news slowly spread throughout the county, and became more and more outrageous.
But the most common rumor is that someone dug up hundreds of taels of silver from farming, and the county magistrate escorted the family back to the county town to deposit the money.
Arriving inside the bank, Chen Changsheng still felt that he was dreaming. With more than four hundred taels of silver, even in a lifetime, I am afraid that I may not be able to earn so much money.
"How much money do you need to deposit?" the middle-aged man behind the cash box asked.
"Save it all in!" Chen Changnian said without hesitation.
But Chen Dalang hurriedly said: "Dad, we don't have much food at home. Let's leave ten taels to buy food."
"Yes! Dad, my family has been eating cabbage for several months, and my mother's body can no longer bear it. Also, we still owe the county magistrate several months of rations, and we still have to keep the account with the village chief!" Chen Erlang also spoke.
Chen Dalang thought so, so he said to the middle-aged man: "Trouble, just leave me ten taels."
"I want bills or silver dollars." The middle-aged man pushed a bill and silver dollars to the counter and said.
Chen Changnian took a look at this note and wondered how a farmer like him would use it, so he said, "I want silver dollars."
The middle-aged man pushed ten exquisite silver coins out of the counter, along with two notebooks: "Press fingerprints."
Chen Changnian didn't understand this either. He just did what the middle-aged man said.
"Hold this book. If you want to withdraw money from now on, please refer to this book." The middle-aged man reminded.
Chen Changnian picked up the book and took a look at it. He couldn't understand what was written on it, so he could only carefully put it into his arms.
Afterwards, Chen Changnian picked up the silver coins piece by piece and bit them with his teeth. Then he saw clear teeth marks on each silver dollar.
Chen Changnian held ten silver coins and felt a hint of reality.
When Chen Changnian left the bank, he was shocked to see thousands of people crowded outside.
"Hey! People are coming out. People are coming out."
Chen Changnian was frightened and hurriedly took his sons and ran to the county government office.
"Hey, don't run!"
A group of people cheering behind him just caught up with him.
the other side.
Han Xi stored all the potatoes in the granary without drying them or even washing off the soil.
After depositing it into the Yamen warehouse, Han Xi hurriedly looked at the system panel.
Population: 33,002
Maximum troop strength: 1550/1650
Money: 836 taels/silver
Popular support: 36
Food: 1054 stones
Han Xi touched his chin. The seven-hundred-stone potato shrank to six hundred and eighty-stone. There was really no soil at all and no moisture.
After thinking about it, Han Xi recycled all the food to the system. I saw a system pop-up prompt.
[Recycled 1054 stones of grain and 527 taels of silver, whether to recycle it]
Five hundred and twenty-seven taels, reduced by half.
In this way, no matter what grain is deposited, it will be recovered at the rate of five coins per stone.
Five hundred and twenty-seven taels, one stone of wheat for the system and four hundred coins, that is, it can buy one thousand three hundred and seventeen stones and five buckets of wheat.
This is really a huge profit. You must know that potatoes have a lot of water, and if you make a thousand pounds of flour, you may only have one or two hundred pounds.
One thousand kilograms of wheat can be ground into seven to eight hundred kilograms of flour.
Thinking of this, Han Xi didn't hesitate and clicked confirmation directly.
Soon, the amount of money on the panel changed to 836 taels of silver.
Seeing so much silver, Han Xi smiled all over his face. If all of it was converted into wheat, it would be one thousand seventy-eight shi of wheat. This was enough for Han Xi to recruit a two thousand rural soldiers.
After occupying a county now, Han Xi felt that more than a thousand system soldiers were too few.
However, if there are too many summons, the system will not help.
There are more than 1,500 soldiers, and each soldier needs to eat three kilograms of grain a day, which means more than 900 dan of grain in a month, plus horses and other things, it is thousands of dan.
That's thirty thousand imperial coins. So it's better to let the system work.
Just when Han Xi was enjoying the joy of harvesting system leeks, he suddenly heard a noise outside the yamen.
This made Han Xi frown, and then he said to the guard beside him: "Go outside and see if there is a fight over water."
It has not rained in Yichuan County for three months from April to now.
Therefore, villages upstream and downstream often fight over water.
Especially in June, Han Xi dealt with three incidents involving thousands of people fighting over water.
This kind of thing can only be dealt with fifty times each.
After a while, the guards who went out came back and reported: "Master, the county magistrate, a group of people chased four people who received silver coins into the county government office."
Han Xi was stunned for a moment, but soon realized what was going on, so he said, "Ask a team of government officials to send those people back."
I had expected this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that just forty acres of land would yield fifteen hundred shi of wheat.
Twenty hectares of potato fields in Chenjiagou can be exchanged for about 57,000 shi of wheat silver.
After another year of farming, Han Xi summoned soldiers to occupy the nearby states and counties, making the snowball get bigger and bigger.
certainly! This requires Han Xi to work hard to create more money.
The amount of money rolled out determines the upper limit of tax collection.
Ten days later.
A group of people from the city gathered at the yamen gate. The common people were crying and complaining in the yamen with depressed faces.
"We can't survive this day. County magistrate, please step in and take care of it!"
"Uuuuu~ Master County Magistrate, just take care of the people in Chenjiagou!"
"The county magistrate has come out."
"The county magistrate has come out."
When the people around him saw Han Xi, they fell to their knees and began to cry.
It turns out that during these days, people in Chenjiagou brought potatoes to the Yamen and received money at the same time.
Then of course the people in Chenjiagou bought money after receiving the money.
First, the first one to be bought out was the grain store, then the second to be bought out was the silk shop, and the third to be bought out was the grocery store.
In this way, all the shops in the county where you could buy things were closed.
Now in the entire city, only the Black Wind Market is still running.
But nothing in the Black Wind Market is cheap.
Coarse rice is twenty cents per catty, wheat is twenty cents per catty, mutton is forty cents per catty, and cloth is three liang per catty.
In short, it is twice as expensive as other stores in the county, and items like cloth are seven to eight times more expensive.
With such prices, how can the people in the city survive? You must know that many people in the city make a living by doing odd jobs and doing small businesses.
But not everyone is like Chen Jiagou and gets a huge fortune.
