An unexpected heavy snowfall on the night of March 19 shocked the entire Xishan Village far more than other villages in Huangtu Town and even Mengyu County.
However, just when everyone thought that the temperature would rise quickly after this snow, the wind howled all day on March 20, except for the water that does not freeze even in winter and the underground well water, almost all places with water in Xishan Village were covered with ice.
Just when people were still hoping that the weather would clear up on March 21, another heavy snowfall on the night of March 20 completely extinguished everyone's hope.
Breaking the ice in the water tank at home, I found that the ice layer was half a foot thick, and even in the middle of winter, it was not a day or two of severe cold that could reach such a point.
Many people in Xishan Village ran to the spiritual fields to check, and found that the soil layer had been frozen, and most of the grain spiritual plants that had just begun to germinate were wrapped in a layer of ice crystals.
On March 22, the weather finally cleared up, the temperature was rising rapidly, and the snow on the ground began to melt slowly.
The survival rate of the affected spiritual field crops is only a pitiful 50%, but after this inverted spring cold, even the 50% of the surviving spiritual plant crops themselves have been greatly damaged.
At this time, there are two ways in front of the majority of spiritual farmers: the first is to replant, replant new crops in the spiritual field where the frozen crops are located, so that although the best farming will be missed in time, due to the lack of growth cycle of spiritual plants, resulting in a decrease in yield, but in the end, it can also save 30% of the harvest.
The second type is to re-sow those late spiritual seed crops, so that although these late spiritual seeds themselves have a short growth cycle, their own yield is only 80% of the normal crop.
Although re-cultivating the late spiritual seeds will waste all the previously planted spiritual seeds, it can always guarantee at least 80% of the harvest; No matter how bad it is to choose replanting, you should also replant those late spiritual seeds to reduce some losses.
In fact, even when the year is bad, not many people are willing to prepare late spiritual seeds, because the inherently low yield of these spiritual seeds is low, so no matter when, this kind of seed is out of a state of shortage, unless someone like Yang Junshan knows that there will be such a catastrophe in half of Yuzhou.
Therefore, when the spiritual farmers in Mengyu County poured into the town office and county seat, they were already ready for those grain merchants who sold spiritual seeds to raise prices, as long as they could buy some before those spiritual seeds that were definitely not many were snapped up.
Although many grain merchants took the opportunity to raise the price by double or even tripled, they still couldn't last for two days, and the entire late spirit seeds in Mengyu County were sold out, and those who could buy late spirit seeds were only a small part of the lucky ones.
And just when the entire Mengyu County, and even the entire Yuzhou cultivation circle was panicked, the Yang clan members who received the late rice spiritual seeds in advance in Xishan Village were methodically planting rice under the envious eyes of the spiritual farmers in the entire Xishan Village.
Compared with ordinary late spiritual seeds, the spiritual rice produced contains higher spiritual power and higher yields, almost reaching 90% of the output of normal cultivated spiritual plants.
Moreover, after the arrangement of the village protection formation was completed this year, Yang Junshan, after adjusting the local climate within the scope of the large formation, was even sure that the yield of this year's late rice would be the same as that of the spiritual valley in previous years.
In addition to the Yang clan, there was also a group of Xishan Village spirit farmers who had always insisted on following the Yang family, and they also received the late spiritual seeds at the first time.
And now, almost three-quarters of the spiritual farmers in Xishan Village are waiting for Yang Junshan to speak, after the spring cold turned into a snow disaster, almost everyone understood the reason why Yang Junshan bought a large number of late spiritual seeds, and these villagers have never gone to the town office or even the county seat to buy spiritual seeds, because they know that Yang Junshan is waiting for them, and even if they want to go out to buy spiritual seeds at this time, it is impossible, at least the late spiritual seeds in the wasteland town office have been purchased by Xishan Village.
"What do you plan to do next?" Yang Zhenbiao asked with a mouthful of dry smoke one after another.
Yang Junshan pondered: "Originally, I planned to sell it to the spiritual farmers in the village at 80% off, but after the previous incident, I still plan to sell it to the villagers who have always followed the family, but the other villagers should be treated as a lesson and sold to them at the original price."
Yang Zhenbiao took a puff of smoke and did not speak, Yang Junshan saw that he didn't seem to agree, so he said: "Grandpa Biao, what do you think?"
Yang Zhenbiao did not answer his words directly, but asked again: "I heard that the price of late seeds in the county has risen three times the original price, and some people even offered higher prices to buy them, but they are still priceless, and the late spiritual seeds you purchased before may not be used up even if the spiritual field area in Xishan Village is expanded by five times?"
As long as he released the news that Xishan Village had extra late planting, he only needed to sell it at three times the fair price, and this time it would be enough for him to make a lot of money.
However, Yang Junshan soon heard that Yang Zhenbiao had something in his words, and said: "What Grandpa Biao means is that those who have not listened to the advice before, and even some people with ulterior motives who fan the flames, will sell seeds at an 80% discount?"
Yang Zhenbiao persuaded: "The left and right are just some small profits, with the wealth you are about to get this time, why bother with these, take advantage of this opportunity to clean up people's hearts and show the open-mindedness of the old Yang family, but it will make the prestige of your father and son in Xishan Village even more unattainable!"
Yang Junshan smiled self-defeatedly and said: "I still feel a little suffocated!"
Yang Zhenbiao knew that Yang Junshan had agreed, but as for saying that he couldn't swallow this breath, he felt normal, which young man did not have a passion, if Yang Junshan accepted it calmly all of a sudden, it would make Yang Zhenbiao feel that he was mature like a monster.
"By the way, this time to sell the spirit seed, now the price is three times the price, what price do you plan to follow?" Yang Zhenbiao asked again.
Yang Junshan's face collapsed, and he said: "Grandpa Biao, you won't want me to sell it at a lower price again, will you?"
Yang Zhenbiao smiled "hehe" and said: "I'm worried, the amount of spiritual seeds you purchased before is too large, almost half of the late spiritual seeds in Mengyu County have been acquired by you in advance.
Yang Junshan smiled and said: "Since you advised me not to buy spirit seeds again that day, I have already thought that you will persuade me today, but don't worry, this time I will not reduce the price, I will sell it at three times the price, but I will only sell a small part."
Yang Zhenbiao was stunned and said: "Only selling a small part will not cause public outrage, but what do you do with the saved seeds?"
Yang Junshan smiled and said: "Grandpa Biao, you forgot, my uncle also opened a grain store in Qingshi Town in partnership with Chu Chuang of Qingshu Village, and it is perfect to sell seeds there!"
Yang Zhenbiao's eyes lit up and he said: "There is still this move? Then you can sell it at a high price without any scruples, but can your uncle hold it down, do you want to call your seventh uncle to go?"
Yang Junshan smiled and said: "Grandpa Biao, don't worry, my uncle has also advanced to the martial arts realm a few years ago, and Chu Chuang from Qingshu Village is now also a monk in the martial arts realm, and he has also made a little reputation in Qingshi Town.
Although the grain shop in Qingshi Town is run by Han Xiusheng, it is actually a place of contact between Yang Tiangang and Chu Chuang for secret smuggling.
But now the secret road of Quwu Mountain has been blocked, but the border of Chenyu County has never been blocked, so this line in Chenyu County has become an important channel to maintain the caravan in Xishan Village, but after the materials are transported to Qingshi Town, the next thing will be taken by Chu Chuang to drum up, but Chu Chuang's ability is now limited, and the brothers under him are just small fights in the eyes of today's Xishan Village.
This time, Yang Junshan bought late-stage spiritual seeds on a large scale, and naturally did not forget to do it in Chenyu County as well, and because Han Xiusheng was originally a grain store, the amount of late seeds sold was not as eye-catching as the hoarding of spirit seeds in a village like Xishan Village, so after hearing Yang Zhenbiao's warning before, Yang Junshan simply handed over most of the spiritual seeds in his hand to Han Xiusheng to sell at a high price.
March passed quickly, and most of Yuzhou was now in a bleak situation, and the snow disaster in late spring made the production reduction of half of Yuzhou's spiritual valley a foregone conclusion, but the entire Xishan Village was able to settle down and enjoy the hard-won bottleneck, while Yang Junshan made another big profit.
