    Chen Xin and Hu Benhui brought several official servants, each in plain clothes, to a wheat field being harvested.

    This wheat field is very lively, with dozens of people busy harvesting wheat in the wheat field.

    "This little brother~"

    Chen Xin shouted to others with a smile.

    "Sir, are you calling me?"

    Dong Er stood up and looked at Chen Xin, Hu Benhui and others, and asked with some confusion.

    He saw that although Chen Xin, Hu Benhui and others were wearing plain clothes, he knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people, so he also called Chen Xin sir.

    "Is the wheat harvest okay this year?"

    Chen Xin nodded slightly, pulled off an ear of wheat, looked at it carefully and asked.

    "The harvest is very good. The land in Liaodong is all black soil and very fertile. This acre of land can harvest almost two stones of wheat."

    Dong Er nodded and replied.

    "The output of two stones?"

    When Chen Xin heard this, he nodded slightly. It was similar to the experiment he had done before. One acre of land could harvest two stones of wheat.

    "This yield is quite good. As far as I know, in Guan Nei, it is difficult to achieve the yield of two stones per acre."

    Chen Xin thought for a while and said again.

    "No, I'm from Shandong. I immigrated from Shandong. In Shandong, even the best fields are difficult to produce two stones, but in Liaodong, anything is possible."

    Dong Er nodded solemnly.

    "How many fields does your family cultivate?"

    Chen Xin nodded slightly, then stood up and looked at the huge wheat field in front of him and asked.

    "It's not much. My family has less than 400 acres of wheat fields."

    ¡°Not only is there enough food to eat, but the food harvested this year is enough to last for many years.¡±

    Dong Er pointed at the wheat fields in front of him and said.

    "Four hundred acres of wheat field is not much, isn't it?"

    "Can your family be busy enough to come over?"

    When Hu Benhui next to him heard this, he was immediately stunned and said that four hundred acres of land was not much. When he was an official here in Henan, if he had four hundred acres of land, he would be considered a landlord.

    "Not much, not much. In Liaodong, who doesn't have a few hundred acres of land?"

    "This year we have a new kid in the family, and my wife has no way to do anything. I am really too busy on my own, so I only planted 400 acres of land. Every other household has more than me."

    Dong Er smiled and shook his head, then added: "Although it is only 400 acres of land, I am really too busy to handle it alone. No, I have hired dozens of Koreans to help me harvest wheat. Although the price is  It¡¯s a bit more expensive, but the good thing is that you can harvest the wheat in time.¡±

    "Listening to what you said, every household has hundreds of acres of wheat fields. Wouldn't it be difficult to finish harvesting before winter?"

    After Chen Xin listened, he thought about it carefully and soon realized a problem, so he asked quickly.

    "That's right, everyone is in a hurry now."

    ¡°Every household has hundreds of acres of land, and they can¡¯t harvest it even if they work in the fields all day long.¡±

    "I gritted my teeth and spent a lot of money to hire these Koreans. If one person works for a day, I have to pay 120 kilograms of wheat and have to take care of three meals a day."

    "But even so, these North Koreans are too busy, and there are many people who want to hire them."

    "Although the price is expensive, if the wheat cannot be harvested on time, it will rot in the ground."

    Dong Er nodded and said.

    Speaking of this matter, Dong Er had to sigh.

    ¡°When spring farming started at the beginning of this year, everyone was afraid of suffering a loss. If you cultivated 100 acres, I would cultivate 150 acres. Every household was working hard to cultivate the fields.

    It¡¯s better now. The fields have been cultivated. Hundreds of acres of fields were planted at once. When it came to harvesting wheat, I was dumbfounded. I was so exhausted that I couldn¡¯t finish harvesting in the fields.

    "What a wonderful wheat. Wouldn't it be a pity if it rotted in the ground?"

    Chen Xin looked at the wheat ears in his hands. The wheat grains on them were full. The wheat ears were very heavy and the wheat was very good.

    "That's right, but if we can't collect it all, there's nothing we can do if it rots in the ground."

    Dong Er also nodded and said: "I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of North Koreans who come to Liaodong to harvest wheat and work as part-time workers. They have made a lot of money this year. After harvesting wheat for a day, they can produce more than one hundred kilograms of wheat."??: "You profiteers are so evil. Five stones of grain are sold for one tael of silver. Where can such a low price be found?"

    Hearing Chen Xin¡¯s roar, many farmers around him also shouted.

    "Yes, yes, where is such a price? In the past, a stone of grain was sold for one or two taels of silver. During the famine of the ten years of Hongzhi, a pound of grain was sold for more than 100 taels of silver.  "

    "That's right, that's right. You profiteers joined forces to deliberately lower food prices and bully us farmers, right?"

    "It must be like this. They must have seen our big harvest in Liaodong, so they deliberately pressured the price of food. Five stones of wheat only costs one tael of silver. I might as well feed it to pigs. The price of pork has now increased to  It¡¯s more than ten yuan per pound.¡±

    The farmers around him couldn't help but yell. Everyone was hesitating whether to sell it or not. The price of this grain was too low.

    Many people have cultivated land their whole lives, but they have never encountered such low prices. Food is actually worthless.

    You must know that in the past, this food was an extremely precious thing. In the era of famine, not to mention one stone of food, just one kilogram of grain, could save many lives. Sometimes even several kilograms of grain could be purchased.  I met a yellow-flowered girl.

    Now, five shi of grain can only be sold for one tael of silver.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
