"No, no, no! Li Zheng, you can't say that! What capabilities do I, Old Hu, have to be the Li Zheng! Only you can be the Han Family Village's Li Zheng! If you let me be the Li Zheng, wouldn't you be harming the entire Han Family Village? "
In Cloud Mountain First Courtyard, after Hu Hanyun heard Han Lizheng's words, he hurriedly said.
Looking at him, he obviously didn't know beforehand.
Han Lizheng waved his hand and smiled, "Old Hu, you don't have to be too humble. Last year when I wasn't at the Han Family Village, as the acting Li Zheng of the Han Family Village, you did everything very well. But the Han Family Village cannot continue to be without an official Li Zheng. Now that I am away for so long, Old Hu, you will have to take on more responsibilities in the future. This is also for the good of the Han Family Village!"
"But …"
Hu Hanyun still wanted to argue. Being a straightforward person, he subconsciously felt that this was "snatching the rice bowl" from Han Lizheng and it was very unethical.
"No buts! Apart from you, there's no one more suitable! "
Without waiting for Hu Hanyun to finish, Han Lizheng directly interrupted.
After saying that, he looked towards Li Zexuan and urged the latter to make a decision quickly, "Little Xuan, you should quickly consider this matter. I have to leave today but the Han Family Village cannot be without a Li Zheng for too long!"
Li Zexuan frowned. He looked at his own wife's expression and realized that Han Yuxi's face didn't have any special expression. He thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law is right! How about this, after Father-in-law has completely settled down at Hedong Road, I will hand over the Han Family Village's Li Zheng to Uncle Hu! What do you think? "
Now, the entire Lantian County was his fiefdom. So to decide on a village's Li Zheng was just a matter of a sentence to him!
Hearing that, Han Lizheng nodded and said, "That's good too! After I have completely settled down there, I will get someone to send a letter back to you, Little Xuan! It's settled then, I will go back first! Little Xuan, Yuxi, take care! "
"Father-in-law, be careful!"
Li Zexuan stood up and cupped his hands towards Han Lizheng. He said, "In a moment, this son-in-law will have the manor's guards send the money to the Han Family Manor. After that, I will go with Father-in-law to Hedong Road!"
"Yes!"
Han Lizheng nodded and took his leave.
Only Li Zexuan, his wife, and Hu Hanyun were left in the room.
At this moment, Old Hu could not help but sigh, "Sigh! Han Lizheng had stayed in the Han Family Manor for so many years. If the Manor Head knew that he was leaving, he reckoned that he would not be willing to part with him for the time being! To be honest, I, Old Hu, am hoping that Li Zheng won't be able to buy the manor at Hedong. That way, Li Zheng will be able to come back and continue being Li Zheng for everyone! "
Li Zexuan sorted out his thoughts and said to Hu Hanyun, "Uncle Hu, actually, what my father-in-law said is not without reason! It's not impossible for you to take the position of Village Chief of the Han Family Manor. Father-in-law still has other important matters to attend to in Hedong Road! So, from today onwards, you will have to take on all the responsibilities of the Han Family Manor! "
Hu Hanyun opened his mouth and after hesitating for a while, he could only say helplessly, "Yes! Young Master! "
The main hall was silent for a moment. Hu Hanyun then remembered the purpose of his visit. So, he said to Li Zexuan, "Young Master, a portion of the vegetables in the Han Family Manor's sheds are already ripe. Two days ago, the Manor Heads were discussing with me if we should take a batch to Chang 'an City to sell. After all, these things can't be kept for long!"
Li Zexuan smiled and nodded, "Yes! Then let's sell them! Before the New Year, the Manor Heads had spent a lot of money to manage these sheds. It's time for them to reap the rewards! "
Old Hu chuckled and said embarrassedly, "Uh … Young Master, everything else is easy to discuss. It's just that the Manor Heads don't know how to set the price! After all, none of us have ever sold vegetables in the winter before! "
Li Zexuan instantly understood what Hu Hanyun meant. It was most likely that the Manor Heads felt that the vegetables in the winter were more valuable. However, as they were used to being honest, they were too embarrassed to ask for too high a price. So, they asked Old Hu to come over and ask for his opinion.
After pondering for a moment, Li Zexuan opened his mouth and said, "I can't tell you the exact price. Uncle Hu, go back and tell everyone that they can refer to the price of each vegetable in autumn and summer and multiply that price by twenty to thirty times! "
In modern times, the price of the same type of vegetables grown in the winter in greenhouses was generally twice as high as the price of the vegetables grown in the summer under natural conditions. Because the Manor Heads under him were the first batch of Tang Dynasty farmers to grow vegetables out of season on a large scale, it wasn't excessive to ask for twenty to thirty times the price!
In fact, even if he asked for a hundred times the price, there would still be people who would buy it. According to historical records, the cucumbers in winter in the Tang Dynasty were priceless treasures. Even after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the price of cucumbers in winter was still calculated by the roots. A single cucumber was worth tens of thousands of dollars!
However, if he set the price like that, there would be a lot less people who would buy it. However, the eight Manor Heads under him all grew vegetables in greenhouses. With such a huge amount, he had to set a price that was acceptable to the rich in Chang 'an City!
Although in the future, as more and more people knew about the technology of growing vegetables in greenhouses, the price would definitely decrease year by year. However, what did that matter? Anyway, it was fine as long as his Manor Heads could enjoy the first wave of huge profits!
"Twenty to thirty times?"
Old Hu's eyes widened. He was tongue-tied and said, "Young … Young Master, isn't this a little … a little … a little too greedy? What if we can't sell it? What should we do? "
Before he came, he had discussed with the Manor Heads. At most, the price of the vegetables in summer was five times the price. He didn't expect Li Zexuan to be so ruthless and ask for twenty to thirty times the price!
"Greedy? How is this greedy? Uncle Hu, don't worry. There will definitely be a lot of people buying at this price. You just have to listen to me! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand nonchalantly.
Believe in the Young Master and you will be rich!
This was already a principle that Li Zexuan's Manor Heads had long been engraved in their hearts. Old Hu was no exception. When he heard Li Zexuan's confidence, he immediately put away his previous doubts.
"That's fine! I will go and inform all the Manor Heads who have greenhouses! We are all Young Master's people. That means we are family. When we go to Chang 'an City, we have to maintain the same price! "
Old Hu stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Zexuan laughed in his heart. He didn't expect Old Hu to be so meticulous. He even came up with the idea of a uniform price. This way, it would be very good to avoid the vicious competition between the Manor Heads and the Manor Heads!
"Good! Uncle Hu, take care! If there's anything, you can come to Yun Mountain to find me! "
Li Zexuan also stood up and said.
Old Hu nodded his head and left.
"Looks like there are many people in the fief. This year, they can directly become 'well-off' with the vegetables in the greenhouses!"
Looking at Hu Hanyun's back, Li Zexuan was happy in his heart.
