Under everyone's surprised gazes, Li Yuezhu stepped forward. She was only ten years old, so she was naturally shorter than those adults.

Walking to the old village chief, Li Yuezhu turned over and climbed onto the stone mill at the back. Standing on the stone mill, Li Yuezhu's aura suddenly changed, and he had the demeanor of a great man at a young age.

The people standing in the audience only looked at a pretty girl wearing a emerald blue gradient gauze skirt, standing on the stone mill, standing under the stone mill, they only felt that this girl's figure was elongated, and the breeze blew

, the leaves on the old locust tree fell pattering down, giving off an indescribable momentum.

"Hello folks, my name is Li Yuezhu. Some of you may not have heard of my name. I live in the southeast of the village." When Li Yuezhu said this, he also saluted everyone: "At the beginning, I said

Before doing this, let me ask you a question."

Li Yuezhu held an ear of wheat in his hand, "We have finished harvesting wheat. As fellow villagers who have been farming for decades, what should we plant next?"

When the villagers below the stage heard Li Yuezhu ask this question, they all started making noises.

"At first glance, she looks like a little girl who has not grown up. We have a long winter here, so we can only plant one crop a year. The winter wheat is not sown until winter, and it is harvested in June or July. The rest of this period

If you have time, just plant some green manure."

"Yes, yes, in addition to growing wheat, my family also plans to grow some radishes in autumn."

"In addition to the white radish, I can also grow some winter melons, but the yield is too low, the taste is too bitter, and it rots easily. I don't want to grow them. It would be more economical to grow some green manure."

"Yes, yes."

…

Li Yuezhu stood on the stage and listened to the group of people discussing enthusiastically. After discussing for about a quarter of an hour, Li Yuezhu shouted loudly:

"Quiet, folks! Quiet!"

The originally noisy crowd gradually became quiet.

"Even though I am young, I know a thing or two about what everyone is talking about. Take the winter melon as an example. It doesn't taste very good and rots easily. It can't be sold for much money. It doesn't take enough effort."

"Everyone, listen to me. I have other seeds here that are suitable for planting in this season. If you plant them now, you will have a good harvest in autumn. As long as you take good care of them, I guarantee that they will be mass-produced."

Li Yuezhu has already searched for several kinds of seeds in the shopping system. These seeds are all improved seeds. Although they are cheap, they have advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that the first generation after planting has extremely high yield and excellent taste. But it has a fatal disadvantage, that is, after the third generation of planting, the yield drops sharply and the quality is not up to standard.

However, this kind of seed seems to be specially designed for Li Yuezhu. For her at this stage, the shortcomings have become advantages.

"Hey, nothing is trivial in this land. Is this little girl right?"

"That's it, let's hear what this little girl plans."

Li Yuezhu stood on the high platform, and he could see the reactions of the people in the audience, including the sneers of Li Cuihua and others in the corner.

"Folks, now I have two options for you to choose from. First of all, as mentioned above, this matter is voluntary between you and me. If you feel that it is not suitable, you can plant your green manure. If you feel that,

What Yuezhu said is reasonable and has some head start. If you don’t make any money in the end, don’t say it was me who forced everyone to do it.”

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. Except for Li Yuezhu, everyone standing in the small square was an adult, and they still had the ability to think independently.

"Just tell Zhu'er. If we think it's feasible, we won't scold you."

"Yes, yes, tell me quickly."

Li Yuezhu looked at this group of villagers and saw that they were not some arrogant and unreasonable people, so he continued.

"For this first option, I have some seeds here, which may be plants that you have never seen before. These are imported from outside. As long as they are taken care of properly, the yield will not be a problem."

When Li Yuezhu said this, he looked at the commotion in the audience and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Quiet, everyone, be quiet and listen to what I have to say. The premise is that you must buy seeds from me, and you can only sell them to me!"

The folks in the audience began to talk about Li Yuezhu's overlord clause.

"When buying seeds, we must buy them from her. How can we still control our selling seeds? What we grow in the fields belongs to us."

"Yes, yes, can you believe what this little girl says?"

"What if we agree, but this little girl keeps pushing the price down, wouldn't we, the working people, be the unlucky ones?"

Li Yuezhu listened to everyone's discussion and immediately put her words down.

"I, Li Yuezhu, promise that when the harvest comes, I will set the price according to the market price, but I guarantee that the price will definitely be higher than the radish. I, Li Yuezhu, can make a pledge here as proof."

Everyone in the audience felt a little relieved after hearing Li Yuezhu's words, mainly because the old village chief was watching over him. Even if they didn't believe Li Yuezhu's words, they still trusted the old village chief.

"Aren't there two plans? What is the second plan?"

Li Yuezhu looked at the anxious villagers below. He hadn't even understood the first plan yet, so he started asking about the second plan?

"Do you have any other opinions or questions about the first plan?"

The folks in the audience shook their heads. They were not optimistic about this. Even if the price of what they grew was higher than that of radishes, they still had to bear the risk. It would be better to grow radishes directly.

Li Yuezhu stood on the stage and looked at the folks in the audience shaking their heads, saying that there was no problem. She was still a little disappointed, because the first plan was many times better than the second plan.

"Since everyone is so impatient, let me talk about the second plan."

Li Yuezhu cleared his throat again.

"The second option is that I will lease your land and pay you five hundred cents per acre until the winter wheat starts to be planted. This is only half a year. Anyway, you are idle if you are idle. During this six months, all the land will be idle.

The right to use it must be given to me, you have no right to make any decisions."

"Of course, in addition to renting land, I also need to hire some people. I inquired with the village chief yesterday. Most of the strong laborers in our village go to the county to do odd jobs, and they can only earn one or two silver dollars a month. Now I am offering a price of two

We hire strong laborers for two taels per month, and anyone from our village can sign up."

When the villagers heard this, their eyes immediately lit up. How could there be such a good thing in the world? Now every household has to have five or six acres of land. If one acre costs five hundred cents, then they also have to have two to three taels of silver.

In other words, they can get two or three taels of silver for free without any work, which sounds beautiful.

If you add in the money earned by strong laborers, their lives will not be so tight. Although they can't eat meat every day, it doesn't mean that they can't eat every meal.

There was another commotion under the stone mill. Li Yuezhu maintained order several times but could not calm them down. The villagers were discussing in a lively manner. No wonder the old village chief said it was a good thing. This was really a great good thing.

Apart from those widows and women, no one else has a strong labor force. Take the Wang family in the front yard as an example. Their family can provide three strong laborers, plus the money for renting the land, they can also get seven seven per month.

Eight taels of silver.

Don't underestimate these seven or eight taels of silver. In ancient rural areas, it was enough for a family's food expenses for half a year.
