"Shouzhe, where on earth did you manage to get fifty to sixty thousand dan of grain?" Gongsun Qiang took a deep breath and almost couldn't believe it.
The Shanyang Gongsun Family is quite powerful, owning about ten to twenty thousand acres of fertile land. But even so, the yield of a season can't reach fifty to sixty thousand dan! Moreover, the noble family's land produce must be shared with tenant farmers, taxed annually per acre, and some must be reserved for grain seeds, insecticide powder, and other consumables.
From this, it's evident how astronomical fifty to sixty thousand dan of grain is. Even in normal circumstances, acquiring that much grain at once is extremely difficult, let alone in today's world.
"Bought it through connections with friends from the Qiaan's Trading Company," Wang Shouzhe said, "Uncle, time waits for no one. Let's head to Money Manor first, and the carriages will follow."
