Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 873 Let’s Partner Up

After saying this, he left angrily. Although he disliked the Zhou family, he was not stupid enough to do that. For now, he could only sacrifice the pawn to save the king.

Zhang Lian was helpless. As the most prominent family in the North, the Wang family had extremely deep roots. There was no way to get to the bottom of this. This matter could only be left to the Wang family to investigate themselves.

About ten days later, someone came to tell Zhou Guo that the lost batch of grain seeds had been found!

Lord Chengding personally delivered the grain seeds back to the farm.

Zhou Guo ran to check, grabbed the grain seeds that were delivered and took a look, her eyebrows raised. These were not the batch she lost. They were much better than the batch she lost, and were not even much worse than the new grain seeds!

She never expected that the Wang family had such a good thing! !

It’s hidden really deeply!

Is this a pleasant surprise?

I picked some grain bags and looked at them, and found that every bag contained such seeds.

Lord Cheng Ding said, "You lost a total of 3,600 dan of grain. There are only 3,100 dan of grain here. The rest were sold by those thieves. What do you think of this?"

Zhou Guo said: "A few hundred shi less is not a small amount. These seeds are enough for dozens of villages."

The Lord's face froze.

Zhou Guo changed the subject and said reluctantly, "But there is no way. Since these little thieves have eaten them, it is not a bad thing. As long as these seeds are spread, the people will benefit sooner or later. Three thousand one hundred shi is three thousand one hundred shi. Sir, you have worked hard these days. I have prepared a little wine on the farm. Please go and have a drink."

She was in a good mood. She had originally intended to give them a slap in the face, but she had never expected to get such a good thing.

The Wang family is indeed a hidden talent. She decided that if she meets the head of the Wang family in the future, she will go up to him and say hello. This matter will be forgotten.

He waved his hand and said, "Come here, store these seeds in the granary!"

The word "granary" is emphasized more.

Hu Zi understood, "Yes!"

Zhou Guo took the Lord downstairs to have dinner with peace of mind.

Hu Zi and his followers went to have lunch, leaving Er Pang to direct the putting of these things into the granary.

Zhou Guo accepted the grain seeds, and the matter was over.

Yunzhou and Chengding dealt with a group of thugs.

The Wang family was calm and peaceful as if nothing had happened, but only family members knew that the eldest branch of the Wang family in Lu County had lost power and the second branch had taken over, which was very telling.

The Wang family has always walked with their heads held high in the north. They don't do things as they please, but if they had done something like this in the past, the other party would definitely be at fault. But now they actually returned the things honestly.

Isn't this just admitting your mistake?

This means that the Wang family lost to the Zhou family!

Everyone is now realizing that the Zhou family is no longer the same as it used to be in the north, and is now even showing signs of surpassing the Wang family.

Most of them followed the trend and turned to Zhou's family.

If not now, when?

Mr. Wu was the first to arrive again.

Zhou Guo was still at Chengding's farm. When he saw Master Wu, he smiled and said, "You are so powerful. Did you plant spies around me? How come you can find me wherever I go?"

Mr. Wu waved his hands quickly, "Don't say that. I don't have the guts to say that. Don't you know that I have already run to several villages, and every village said you were not there. I finally found you here with great difficulty. If I keep running, my legs will become thin. None of the people in your family know where you are."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Didn't we just meet not long ago? Why are you looking for me again?"

Mr. Wu said, "Don't play dumb. The grain seeds are back. Shouldn't you give me the seeds for the 100 acres of land you promised me?"

Zhou Guo said: "Of course, let alone a hundred acres of land, what would happen if there were seeds for a thousand acres of land?"

Mr. Wu: “…”

After a while, he said, "What did you say?"

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, you are a great man. I am happy to deal with you in the Northland."

Mr. Wu felt a chill down his spine from the praise. "Stop, stop, stop. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't praise me like that. It makes me feel scared."

Zhou Guo said: "Let's do a business."

Master Wu's eyes lit up. He knew that everyone under Zhou Guo was making money, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do? Are you looking for someone to join your crab or mushroom business?"

His voice was trembling with excitement.

Zhou Guo was speechless, thinking to himself, you are dreaming, only asking about money-making stuff.

"No, we are farming together."

Mr. Wu: "... Farming? What kind of land?"

He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and he came to him for help even when he was farming?

Zhou Guo said: "You know, my family has very little land. I have a batch of newly bought seeds, but I don't know how much they will yield. I don't dare to plant them for the people in the north. If they don't get any harvest, their lives will be difficult."

"It just so happens that you don't have much land. I'll rent 2,000 acres of your land. It's not for free. When the autumn harvest comes, I'll give you 1,000 acres of seeds for the new crops. How do you think?"

Mr. Wu looked at her expressionlessly.

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "One thousand acres of grain seeds is a lot. You only need to use it for one year, and then all your land will be planted with new grain seeds."

Master Wu tried to hold back but couldn't help it. "Are you so stingy? You won't give me anything except the 1,000 acres of grain seeds? That's 2,000 acres of land!"

Zhou Guo was surprised and said, "One thousand acres of grain seeds is a lot. I originally gave you a hundred acres. It would have taken you two or three years to replace all the land at home with new seeds, but now it only takes one year. I saved you a year's effort. How much more profit can you make in this year? Is this not enough?"

She saw that he was a little hesitant and said, "Are you going to do it? If not, I'll go find Master Liu. The Yang family is not bad either. They definitely have a lot of land, so they don't mind these one or two thousand acres of land."

Master Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll rent it to you! But you really have to give me a thousand acres of grain seeds."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Of course."

Seeing that he felt a little pain, he said, "Oh, don't pretend. You've taken such a big advantage, just be happy about it. Think about it carefully. That's a thousand acres of grain. Do you know how much grain you can earn in a year? Oh, by the way, the land you give me must be good land. I don't even want average land."

Mr. Wu shouted, "Where can I get you two thousand acres of good land?"

Zhou Guo waved his hand, "You have so much land, how can you not have it? Your family harvests one million dan of grain a year. Do you know how many acres of land are needed to grow one million dan?"

Mr. Wu said, "That's all the land in my family combined! How can there be so much land in the entire North? There is some in other places, but it's so chaotic outside now, how can we transport it here?"

Zhou Guo was silent for a moment. As expected, these families all had land outside.

In the end, the two parties reached an agreement and signed a document in a formal manner.
