The head farmer came out of the village with a smile and said, "This is the watermelon!"

"Wow, this is a real watermelon! A single watermelon can sell for several hundred coins in Xin'an County right now."

"If they could grow watermelons like this, they'd be rich!"

"I never expected that your small village would have ginseng and watermelons."

Zhuang Tou smiled faintly and said:

"If you want to buy grain seeds, we have them here."

However, our seeds are much more expensive than ordinary seeds; it depends on whether you are willing to buy them.

Not only rice, but also wheat, all kinds of grains—whatever kind of grain you can think of, I have it here.

Of course, we also have watermelon seeds and medicinal herb seeds if you want them.

The village leaders' eyes were filled with madness. "Can these seeds grow as much grain and watermelon as you do?"

Zhuang Tou nodded and said:

"Of course you can plant them, but there's a drawback: these seeds are all one-time use, meaning you only need to plant them for this one season."

You won't be able to use these seeds for the next season; you'll need to buy them from us again.

These people frowned and said:

"You mean, these grain seeds are all for one-time use?"

"If we need to plant more grain later, we'll have to buy seeds from you again, right?"

The head of the village nodded; to put it bluntly, they were just selling grain seeds.

Those people immediately understood, and someone asked, "How much do these grain seeds cost?"

The head of the farm on Zhou Wanwan's side laughed and said, "This sack of seeds is worth 10 taels of silver."

The village heads around all laughed, "Hahaha, what are you joking about? This sack of seeds costs 10 taels of silver!"

"This is hilarious! Has your village gone mad?"

"I'm not buying it! It's too expensive. Even if your grain is good, so what?"

The head of the manor on Zhou Wanwan's side said with a smile:

"I have never forced you to buy. If you ask, I will naturally answer."

But this sack of seeds I have can be sown on more than 100 acres of land, and our grain will mature in about 3 months.

Even in such a cold winter, it can be planted.

"Boom..."

The dozen or so village chiefs immediately exploded. "I've never heard of crops growing in three months! Are you kidding me?"

"If the timeframe could be shortened to three months, the 100-plus mu of seedbeds would yield a much larger harvest."

The village leaders were skeptical.

The head of the estate on Zhou Wanwan's side said:

We can both fill out the contract!

If anything I said is false, you can come to me with the contract. I will compensate you double for the 10 taels of silver worth of grain seeds.

"Such a good thing?!" All the village leaders looked on incredulously.

The head of the village said:

"Of course it's true, you yourselves have seen the situation in our village."

Anyway, apart from not being able to be saved for seed, these grain seeds are not a problem in any other way.

"Okay, I'll buy one."

"I want to buy rice and wheat. Do you sell watermelon seeds here?"

The head of the farm said, "Yes, we do, but watermelon seeds are more expensive. We also have other seeds; please take a look at them as well!"

There were so many seeds at home that they quickly Manman.

"I'd like a serving of watermelon." Watermelon seeds were indeed expensive, costing 20 taels of silver per serving, but that was nothing to these people.

Because if these varieties are cultivated in the estate, even the higher-ups will reward you.

The head of the village said:

"Let me cut open a watermelon for you to try! It's a seedless watermelon we cultivated, and it tastes pretty good."

Actually, they sell them in the market; some seedless watermelons can cost as much as one or two taels of silver.

"Yes, yes, yes, there are seedless watermelons in the market outside, right? They're very expensive."

Where did you get this variety?

"Is the seedless watermelon in the takeout order from your company?"

The head of the village had someone cut open a watermelon, and everyone got a taste; it was absolutely delicious!

Soon, all the seeds were divided up.

The foreman exclaimed, "This is great! It feels so good to rob someone!"

He was carrying several thousand taels of silver, grinning from ear to ear.

Zhou Wanwan came out from inside and asked, "Boss, how is it?"

The steward laughed and said, "Master, they've basically all been sold."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Let's spread the word about these seeds. We can make money by selling them now."

The head farmer hesitated for a moment and said, "But our seeds are quite expensive. What if no one buys them?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "How could no one buy? These people are the first batch. Just wait, many more people will come later."

Zhou Wanwan took a stroll around her estate, picking several watermelons with the Old Scholar Tree, as well as several cantaloupes, grapes, strawberries, and cherries.

After catching two chickens, two fish, and some vegetables in the village, they happily returned to the Sun Family's village.

Zhou Wanwan enjoyed a comfortable meal here.

That evening, the Old Scholar Tree took Zhou Wanwan to the Sun Family:

"They've already started moving things out; tonight, the entire Sun Family will be emptied out."

The Sun Family is incredibly wealthy; they make a fortune from their money shops, security escort agencies, and docks.

Most importantly, the Sun Family even owns a gold mine; no wonder they're so rich.

Zhou Wanwan said:

"These powerful families in the Great Qi are incredibly wealthy."

By the way, have we secured Zhao Lili's iron ore yet?

The Old Scholar Tree nodded and said:

"We got it. The iron ore inside has already started smelting and will be put into use soon."

Our troops are still lacking a lot of armor and weapons, but do we really need to manufacture so much armor and weapons?

I think if a war really breaks out, we won't need them at all.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Old Scholar Tree and said, "Why? Do you think we trees can defeat everyone?"

The Old Scholar Tree nodded and said, "Of course! I think our team is the most powerful. We're invulnerable to swords and spears, and our tree is incredibly strong too."

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said:

"I don't deny that trees are powerful, but I think we still need to be cautious."

We're not the only smart people in the world.

The Old Scholar Tree nodded and said:

"Alright! Look, the Sun Family has already moved all these things out."

To be honest, the stuff in this warehouse is pretty good.

Zhou Wanwan flipped through the items; the Sun Family's storeroom contained all sorts of treasures.

There were thousands of bolts of cloth alone, and countless gold and silver jewels.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the gold and silver jewelry and said:

"I'm afraid even our store can't gather this many good things!"

Take them all back and have our craftsmen process them; we're sure to get a good price for them."

Old Scholar Tree then took Zhou Wanwan to the gold mine; the Sun Family's gold mine was indeed ridiculously large.

"I never imagined that the Great Qi would be able to grant such a large gold mine to aristocratic families."

The Old Scholar Tree said:

"This gold mine was passed down from the Sun Family; to put it bluntly, they robbed it."

The Sun Family were indeed not clean; they were all bandits. They've simply cleaned up their act now.

Zhou Wanwan nodded:

"We're in the same industry as our family, but we don't just take anything from anyone. We only take from families like the Sun Family, who want to harm me."

Why are these people so narrow-minded? I'm just a child.

The trees that Zhou Wanwan brought laughed from behind, and soon they began to make their move. No wonder the Sun Family had so much gold and silver jewelry; it turned out that it was all mined from their own gold mine.

After spending the entire night, they finally finished mining all the gold.

Even the things in the warehouse were all moved back.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the empty gold mine and said:

"Sigh! I wonder if the Sun Family will regret inviting me to their home!"

But I'm quite satisfied with the Sun Family's property. Alright, let's go back!
