Chapter 194. Luo Song is here
"I see." The father and son exchanged glances, already guessing the reason for the visit at this time.
The family harvested over nineteen thousand catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes combined, and Old Hua indeed planned to sell some.
It wasn’t to make money but to help more people. If the granddaughter’s dream came true, there would still be a few months left, enough time to plant one last crop. With these, at least people could get through a period and not start right in hell mode, as he heard from his granddaughter. This sentiment felt particularly apt.
"If the old man remembers correctly, didn’t your estate also plant some?" With the Luo family’s capabilities, who knows how many estates they have; they shouldn’t be short of food.
"Yes, we planted quite a lot, but this year there has been a significant reduction in food production nationwide, making life difficult for the common people. The astonishing yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes from my estate didn’t satisfy Lord Governor. The lord, caring for the people, wants to collect more at a low price to distribute among the people and teach them how to plant and store, hoping everyone can get through this difficult time."
Luo Song chose to speak the truth. Of course, the surprising yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes they planted on Luo family’s estate solved Lord Governor’s biggest problem at the moment. Last time it was refined salt; this time, it’s sweet potatoes and potatoes, which truly brought them prestige in front of the Lord, gaining them his appreciation. It’s said that when one person prospers, even the chickens and dogs in his household do. Although the Luo family gave away most of their potatoes and sweet potatoes without taking a penny, the gains they received are immeasurable.
He dared to say that now there aren’t many in the provincial city who would dare to contend with the Luo family. He was about to step by step bring down the Wang family, avenge his mother, and make his degenerate father kneel at his mother’s grave to repent.
This time he came to see if he could acquire more from Hua Village.
"Are you saying this time it’s not your Luo family who wishes to buy, but rather to offer it to the government to distribute to the people?" This idea aligned perfectly with Hua City’s field thought of Old Hua.
In fact, he wanted to sell a part for the same reason, to let more people recognize sweet potatoes and potatoes.
