Chapter 443 - 432: Discovering Problems
Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang clearly hadn’t distributed Longzhou’s funds yet, so there were exactly one thousand nine hundred and ten taels of silver in the room, with even a handful of copper coins scattered around the pile of silver, evidently having taken out the one hundred and nineteen coins to play with.
Manbao happily counted the silver ingots twice, which wasn’t actually a lot, just one hundred and ninety-one ten-tael ingots in total.
Manbao was happy counting, but even with counting twice, that was enough.
She had just woken up and wasn’t inclined to sleep again, so she looked around and saw the account book lying to one side, crawled over on hands and knees, and picked it up to read.
Manbao vaguely grasped a truth, that if the grain was merely sold as food, it wasn’t very profitable, but if sold as seed, it could fetch four times more, or even more than selling it as just grain.
She felt that in the future, their small farm, and even their family, could select some particularly robust plants with especially long and full ears to be used as seeds.
Even if they couldn’t sell the grain as seeds in large batches like this in the future, they could still make quite a lot of money, certainly more than just selling the grain outright.
Manbao flipped through the account book and thought joyfully to herself.
As she flipped through, she started to feel something was wrong.
Manbao turned to the front to check the total amount of money for the measured grain, then to the end to see the total for the weighed grain.
Manbao was stunned, and simply flipped back to the first page to count how many bushels of wheat had been measured, then counted the number of bags weighed.
