Then, another long while passed.
Zhu Liang, Ding Shang and other veterans came out of the greenhouse with excited faces and reported to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, there are still more than 40 acres of vegetables that have not been picked in the greenhouse."
"What suggestions does Guo Qing have?"
Zhu Di turned to look at Guo An aside.
Guo An thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, Wei Chen suggested leaving ten acres of vegetables to supply daily food to Prince Yan's Mansion.
As for the other thirty acres, you can say that a pound of vegetables is one tael of silver. Anyone who wants to eat can just pay for it! "
"One tael of silver?"
Zhu Di's eyes widened and his eyelids twitched.
Around him, Zhu Liang and the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion, who had not yet left, all looked at Guo An with shock and regret.
One tael of silver for a pound of vegetables?
This Guo Changshi of ours is really evil!
"If your Highness thinks it's cheap, you can add one pound and two taels of silver."
Guo An thought for a while and then said again, "Anyway, in the entire Beiping Prefecture, and even in the surrounding places such as Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan, we are the only one in Beiping Prefecture that has such fresh and sweet vegetables."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhu Liang, Ding Shang and other veteran guards were even more stunned. Do they want to increase the price?
Zhu Di looked at Guo An closely for a long time, and realized that Guo An didn't seem to be joking, so he licked his lips.
"That's enough, just one tael of silver per catty."
"But are you sure those people will actually buy it?"
"Your Highness, please don't underestimate those gentlemen. Things are rare and valuable, especially these first batch of vegetables grown in the cold winter?"
Guo An smiled faintly, his face full of confidence.
"Of course, it would be better if they don't buy it, then our Prince Yan's house will eat all these vegetables.
To be honest, Weichen really doesn’t want to sell it to them! "
"..."
Zhu Di opened his mouth, and then said slowly: "We don't want to sell it, but eating such expensive vegetables is too wasteful.
Moreover, we have built such a large greenhouse and grown so many vegetables, and we want the people of Beiping Prefecture to have a taste of it. "
Guo An ignored Zhu Di, who was already in a confused state of mind, and said to himself, "Don't worry, Your Highness, there are so many vegetables, why don't you buy them for hundreds of thousands taels of silver?"
"A hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Zhu Di, Zhu Liang and others subconsciously looked at the greenhouse in front of them, their eyes shining, as if they were looking at a silver mountain.
Guo An said again: "Your Highness, this is just a conservative estimate. Who knows how many vegetables these thirty acres can produce?"
"Zhu Liang, Li Wang!"
Zhu Di shouted directly.
"Your Highness?"
"You will recruit another hundred guards from our Prince Yan's Mansion later to keep an eye on the greenhouse for us!"
"Follow the order!"
…
Half an hour later, a motorcade came in on the streets of Beiping City. All the people passing by opened their eyes wide with surprise on their faces.
"Look, what's inside those big cars?"
"Courgette? And eggplant, celery, coriander, green onions..."
"Hiss...how is this possible?"
"I won't be hallucinating, right?"
"How can we still have these vegetables in this winter?"
"But, there is still soil on the green onions and coriander, so fresh? Also, the courgette, eggplant, and celery roots still have tender juice. They were obviously just picked..."
"These guards are all guards of Prince Yan's Mansion. Could it be that His Highness Prince Yan has learned the magic of immortality? Can he grow vegetables in winter?"
"Hurry up, go and report to the master!"
"Something great has happened..."
Immediately, in less than a moment, the entire Beiping Mansion was completely boiling.
His Highness King Yan actually brought ten carts of freshly picked vegetables back from the city?
at the same time.
In the Capital Commander's Office, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others also saw the large cart of green vegetables in front of them. Their faces were full of shock, and their eyes were bigger than copper bells.
"Did His Highness Prince Yan really grow vegetables?"
"The right commander Shi Guoan is really amazing!"
"Come here, leave twenty kilograms of vegetables, and share the rest with the brothers below!"
"Yes, General..."
After sighing for a moment, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and others each held a courgette in their hands and started eating it.
"You can still eat such tender and sweet courgettes in winter, but I wonder how they are grown?"
"It's a pity that King Yan sent people to watch the farm so tightly that not even a fly can fly in."
"well……"
"General, His Highness King Yan has just returned from outside the city with ten carts of fresh vegetables. Now the people in the entire Beiping Prefecture are talking about this!"
As he said that, the soldier looked at the half courgette in the hands of Feng Sheng and Fu Youde in front of him and swallowed subconsciously.
"Gulu..."
"Top ten cars?"
Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu did not notice this, but were all shocked by the ten large carts of vegetables.
"So there are so many vegetables grown in the greenhouse?"
"Report~"
At this time, another soldier ran in from outside.
"General, there is news from Prince Yan's Mansion that His Highness Prince Yan is growing vegetables in the cold winter.
Great joy!
His Highness King Yan felt deeply that growing vegetables was not easy. In order to allow the people throughout Beiping Prefecture to taste vegetables, His Highness King Yan decided to sell vegetables to the outside world!
A pound of fresh vegetables costs one tael! "
"One tael of silver per pound?"
"Why doesn't King Yan go and grab..."
Feng Sheng was about to curse, but he quickly shut up.
"How many kilograms did that big cart of vegetables just weigh?"
Fu Youde replied: "About one hundred fifty or sixty pounds."
"That's one hundred, five hundred and sixty taels of silver?"
"yes……"
…
Similarly, in Beiping Mansion, there are luxuriously decorated mansions.
Every merchant, gentry, and even some officials, after hearing that one tael of silver per pound of vegetables.
First he opened his mouth, wanting to curse.
But thinking that it was King Yan, he quickly shouted to the stewards in front of him: "What are you still doing? Take ten taels of silver quickly and buy food for us!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Hurry and get twenty taels of silver from the accountant and go to Prince Yan's Mansion to buy groceries. If you can't buy anything, don't come back!"
"Yes, sir..."
"housekeeper……"
"..."
Zhu Di and Guo An did not see these.
They are very busy right now.
After seeing the ten carts of vegetables, all the officials in Prince Yan's Mansion looked blank for a while. Then they all praised Zhu Di and almost praised him as a wise king comparable to Yao and Shun. Even Guo An didn't let go. Master Guo Xian.
Immediately, everyone stared at the ten carts of vegetables with bright faces.
Although ten carts of vegetables were brought back, there were even more officials and guards in Prince Yan's Mansion.
Finally, after one wave, Guo An was able to get thirty kilograms of vegetables.
"Your Highness, that greenhouse is a humble minister..."
Guo An's face was full of indignation and he was about to argue with Zhu Di.
He Zhong, the manager of Prince Yan's Mansion, hurried in.
"Your Majesty, a large number of officials from various mansions came outside the mansion, all carrying silver and wanting to buy vegetables from Your Majesty."
Zhu Di and Guo An were both startled.
"How many people came?"
He Zhong replied: "Your Highness, there are almost fifty people, but we are still adding more people."
Zhu Di looked at Guo An.
Guo An nodded slightly, "I didn't expect these gentry and merchants to react so quickly, so I sent a team of soldiers and took them to the farm to buy vegetables."
"Let them go to the farm?"
Zhu Di's expression condensed slightly.
"Your Highness, they should all know about the farm by now. In this case, it is better to let them go to the farm to get the vegetables themselves, and save the soldiers from our house to transport them."
Guo An explained, "However, these stewards can only wait outside the farm. They are not allowed to enter the farm, and they are not allowed to know the specific conditions inside the farm."
"Can!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
He Zhong responded quickly: "Yes, I will send someone to take them there now."
Guo An reminded: "He and the general manager, remember to send a few more accountants to hand over the money with one hand and the vegetables with the other!"
"Thank you Guo Changshi for the reminder!"
He Zhong thanked him gratefully and walked out quickly.
To be honest, Hezhong had already been curious about the farm, especially the greenhouse.
Soon, all the officials from the various mansions outside Prince Yan's Mansion followed He Zhong and others to the farm.
Guo An stayed in Prince Yan's Mansion until the time came.
When I got home, I first kept ten kilograms of the thirty kilograms of vegetables.
Then, he brought twenty kilograms of vegetables to Nie's house.
Nie's mansion has also been replaced with glass windows, and there are two iron stoves in the main hall. There is an iron pipe connected to the iron stoves, which leads directly to the outside of the house, making it very warm.
When he saw the twenty kilograms of vegetables that Guo An had brought, despite Nie Zishi's self-cultivation, his face was filled with excitement.
“Courgettes, eggplants, green onions, coriander, celery…all are just picked fresh vegetables!
Okay, okay, okay...
Ning Yi, are all the rumors outside true? "
"May I ask what rumor Uncle Nie is referring to?" Guo An was stunned.
Nie Zizhi said: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, has acquired the magical power. Can he grow vegetables in the cold winter?"
"Rumors are stronger than tigers."
Guo An sneered and said, "Uncle Nie must not believe those rumors. These vegetables are grown using earth dragons, and they are not magic."
"I see!"
Nie Zizhi opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask any questions.
Guo An smiled softly and said: "There are not many vegetables picked in the farm this time, and Guo An only got thirty kilograms.
This time, I only brought twenty kilograms to Uncle Nie. After Uncle Nie finished eating, he sent a servant to inform Guo An, who then sent some vegetables to Uncle Nie. "
"this……"
Nie Zizhi looked moved, glanced at the vegetables on the side, and then whispered: "Ning Yi will have to endure the hardships in Prince Yan's Mansion for a few more years.
In the future, if he wants to enter the imperial court, I will find a way for Ning Yi. "
"Thank you uncle."
Guo An quickly said: "However, Guo An has now been branded as Prince Yan's Mansion, and I'm afraid he won't be welcomed when he goes out.
It's more free and safer in Prince Yan's Mansion. "
"well……"
Nie Zizhi sighed slightly.
"Guo An says goodbye!"
…
The next day.
As soon as Guo An arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion, he heard the results of yesterday's vegetable sales.
A total of one hundred and twenty families, each bought at least ten kilograms of vegetables, and the most bought fifty kilograms.
In one afternoon, three thousand five hundred taels of silver were sold.
Fortunately, He Zhong is a bit thoughtful and each family can only buy fifty kilograms.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that company would have to buy a truckload of them.
"Whose family is that?"
Guo An asked curiously.
Zhu Di said leisurely: "Shen family!"
"The Shen family?"
Guo An frowned slightly, then thought of something, and was suddenly shocked, "Your Highness, is it the Shen family?"
"Exactly!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
Guo An wondered: "But Your Highness, if the Shen family has not always been in Suzhou and Zhejiang, why did they come to Peiping?"
"The person in charge of Beiping Mansion is just a branch of the Shen family, named Shen Zhuang Shen Boxi. He also transported grain to Beiping before, and also transported Beiping's cotton to Songjiang Mansion for sale."
As he said that, Zhu Di glanced at Guo An strangely and said again: "It's just that with the appearance of Guo Qing, Shen Zhuang's business has also been affected."
