Chapter 2205 Purchasing Priority
Lin Qiuming saw Li Chen's smile. He smiled awkwardly and didn't give much explanation.
No matter how many explanations are, it seems that there is no silver here.
The meaning is very clear, and I hope that the prince can sell him face so that he can explain to the local powerful people. It would be fine if he really didn't sell this face. Anyway, Lin Qiuming said that the prince was gone. Can he forcefully arrange it for the prince?
But what Lin Qiuming didn't expect was that Li Chen agreed very readily.
This made Lin Qiuming feel a little more grateful. In his opinion, this was completely the face of the prince...
But in fact, there are a few reasons why Lin Qiuming gave face, but more of it is Li Chen who wants to continue to promote sweet potatoes.
No matter how many benefits a new crop is, if it is accepted by the vast majority of people in a short period of time, what is required is not only the full promotion of the court, but also the promotion of the people. In many things, the power of the people is better than the power of the court. At least they are very clear about the farmers' thoughts and know how to achieve their goals at the least cost, and this is exactly what the court needs.
Although Li Chen doesn't like this group of landlords from the bottom of his heart, it really doesn't prevent him from cooperating with these landlords in certain matters.
Soon, the largest grain merchant in Baoding Prefecture, which Lin Qiuming said, appeared in front of Li Chen.
Li Chen originally thought that the other party was not a greasy middle-aged man with a big belly, but should also be a wise businessman with a shrewd face, but unexpectedly, the young man who came was at most in his early thirties, who was as gentle as a scholar and more like a businessman.
This young man has a very charming face, a mellow and elegant temperament, which is very impressive and can easily have a favorable impression.
He was neither humble nor arrogant, bowed down and bowed and said, "Du Jing, the grass-roots, see His Royal Highness Qiansheng."
Li Chen nodded and said, "Boss Du, please give me a gift."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Du Jing stood respectfully and said, "A sweet potato is indeed a kind of agricultural development that can help the world. If the grass people are lucky enough to be authorized by the court, they will be sure to push the sweet potato to the south of the Yangtze River in a short time."
Go straight in and out of the way.
It simply makes people feel uncomfortable.
Li Chen raised his eyebrows, and his interest was even stronger.
To be honest, Du Jing's behavior and rhetoric really aroused his interest. From this perspective, no matter what Du Jing thinks in his heart, he has succeeded.
"The court has never had any restrictions on the cultivation and promotion of sweet potatoes, and there is no need for authorization. Anyone with a heart can do it." Li Chen said without comment.
Du Jing heard this and then said: "When you say to Your Highness, what the grass people want is the harvest that is planted due to the promotion of grass people, and they have priority purchasing rights, that is, the same price. The people and the court should give priority to selling sweet potatoes to grass people."
This requirement not only sounds like a lack of brainstorm, but it can’t even think of anything bad. Anyway, promotion comes first and harvest comes later. Even if it is harvested, Du Jing promised to buy it at the same price as in the market, as if it is a big deal but no profit.
If you put this in another person, you might agree casually.
But this was heard in Li Chen's ears, but the smile on his face gradually calmed down.
