    "What are you making a fuss about~"

    At this time, a person walked out of the grain shop, he looked like the owner of the grain shop.

    Yuan Kai looked around, and soon his eyes were fixed on Chen Xin. There were some farmers around him, and he knew at a glance that the Chen Xin in front of him was definitely not a farmer.

    "I am Yuan Kai, the owner of this grain store. Do you know your surname?"

    As a businessman, Yuan Kai still has a keen eye, and his principle is not to offend others easily, so he asked Chen Xin politely.

    "Chen Xin!"

    Chen Xin nodded slightly, and then said lightly.

    "I wonder if Mr. Chen comes to my store to give you some advice?"

    Yuan Kai thought about it carefully and did not associate Chen Xin with the Liaodong Chief Envoy. After all, he was just a small grain merchant and did not have access to frontier officials like Chen Xin.

    "I ask you, why do you grain merchants keep the price of grain so low? These five stones of grain are only sold for one tael of silver. I have never heard of such a price."

    Chen Xin asked unceremoniously.

    "I think your husband is also a noble man. He must read newspapers often."

    When questioned by Chen Xin, Yuan Kai did not panic and asked questions instead.

    ¡°I watch it every day.¡±

    Chen Xin nodded and replied.

    "The noble man must also know that this year our Ming Dynasty is not only ushering in a bumper harvest in Liaodong, our Ming Dynasty is ushering in a bumper harvest year in the east, west, north, south, overseas and at home."

    "Liaodong, Nanyang, Henan, Beizhili, Shandong, Jiangnan, and even Guangdong and Guangxi have had a bumper harvest. There is so much food in every place that they can't eat it all. Can the price of food not be low?"

    "Five stones of wheat cost one tael of silver. This is definitely not because we grain merchants deliberately lower the price, but this is the market price. This is our wheat from Liaodong. Only the best wheat can be sold at this price."

    "If you grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other coarse grains from the Golden Continent, ten shi can be sold for less than one tael of silver. These things are now everywhere, and you can't finish them all. Many places are used to feed pigs.  "

    Yuan Kai ordered someone to take out several newspapers, then pointed to some places on the newspapers and said: "Here, please look here. This report is about the Nanyang region."

    "As mentioned in detail above, in the provinces of Jiaozhi, Xianglin, and Nanyang in Nanyang, there will be a bumper rice harvest this year, and the yield is very high. Here in Nanyang, one tael of silver can buy almost seven shi of rice."

    "Because the price of grains is so low, many plantation owners have said that they will reduce rice planting next year and expand sugarcane planting. Although the price of sugarcane has dropped this year, it is still cheaper than planting rice.  It¡¯s still more cost-effective.¡±

    ¡°There is also this report about the Western Region and the Hezhong region. Although this is the first year of immigration to the Western Region and the Hezhong region, these two places have still cultivated a large amount of fields and ushered in a bumper harvest.¡±

    "The above report said that the food grown in the Western Regions and Hezhong areas is enough to feed the Western Regions and Hezhong areas for five years. Not only do they no longer need to transport food from our customs, they even have enough food to go and fight with those herdsmen.  Exchange cattle, sheep and horses.¡±

    "This is a report about Ryukyu Island and Qiongzhou Island. Qiongzhou Island used to be a miasma-ridden place with very little food production. But now, Qiongzhou Island not only has a large amount of food take-out, but also a large amount of food in winter.  The local government wants to promote Qiongzhou through the Ming Dynasty Morning Post and attract businessmen to go to Qiongzhou to buy vegetables, fruits and grains."

    Yuan Kai flipped through the reports in the newspaper and introduced in detail the situation of this year's bumper grain harvest in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.

    In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi's Ming Dynasty, the weather was good and there was a bumper harvest of grain everywhere. Now the grain of Ming Dynasty is too much, too much, and it is impossible to eat it all.

    Food prices continue to fall, which has become a normal phenomenon.

    "So, you are not deliberately lowering the price?"

    Chen Xin listened carefully and read the contents of the newspaper. He had read them all, but before, he only looked at them casually and did not pay too much attention to them.

    Yuan Kai and others are grain merchants, so they are naturally most concerned about grain reports. Through the Ming Dynasty Morning Post, they can also roughly know the grain output of the entire Ming Dynasty.

    "Of course~"

    ¡°In recent years, our Ming Dynasty has continued to expand externally.An unprecedented bumper grain harvest. A bumper grain harvest is a good thing, but now two big problems have arisen.  "

    "The first problem is that in our Liaodong region, too much land has been reclaimed this year. Every household has hundreds of acres of fields. There are too many fields planted, so I am afraid that we will not be able to complete the harvest before winter. Then there will be  There is a lot of grain rotting in the fields."

    "Food is hard to come by, and it is a pity if it rots in the ground. Therefore, I think that our country, the Ming Dynasty, can ask for help from North Korea. I hope that North Korea can organize more people to work as part-time workers in our Liaodong region and help us harvest in Liaodong region."  While providing food, the Korean people can also get generous rewards."

    "Secondly, I have ordered someone to go to the Jingcheng Machinery Factory to purchase a steam harvester. Steam harvesters are expensive, so I would like to apply for a sum of money."

    "The second problem is that the low price of grain hurts farmers. In the Liaodong region, five stones of wheat can only be sold for one tael of silver. This price is really too low. However, I can't think of any way"  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
