“Next year, I believe that the farmers will be more willing to plant more peanuts.

“Once there were more items, the price would naturally drop. Plus, they are more willing to plant it because it will become a part of their income.”

Actually, what Liu Yichen was talking about was the market law according to modern parlance.

If there were fewer things, the price would be higher, and vice versa. If there were more things, the price would naturally drop!

This was what many rural people complained about.

One item had sold for a good price last year, but the price of the same item had fallen to rock bottom this year.

This was only because everyone saw that this thing was making money last year, so they all put in all their effort and cultivated it on a large scale.

There were many people who planted it, and the market demand was only so big. Therefore, in order to meet the market demand, the extra stock would become very cheap.

In modern times, anyone who has studied market economics would understand these principles. However, those entrepreneurs and businessmen had learned from their experiences in the past.

Therefore, even in ancient times, Liu Yichen was able to become the richest man in the country in a short period of time and become the big royal merchant of Longyan Country. Other than his keen sense of smell and touch, it was believed that he had outstanding business methods and business experience.

Lin Yuelan did not refute Liu Yichen’s words either. She smiled and said, Big Brother is indeed the richest man in the country. He’s smart and wise. Every word he says is on point.

Liu Yichen shook his head and said with a bitter smile, ” You flatter me, Sister. In fact, I’m just speaking from experience. You also know that the Liu family has businesses all over the world. Before doing any business, you must understand its value and prospects so that you can control it in time and grasp the overall situation. Otherwise, if you’re not careful, you might end up bankrupt!’

Lin Yuelan nodded to show that she understood. Then, she said, ” This is how business is! Otherwise, why would people say that no anyone can enter the business field?”

Although the hierarchy in ancient times was strict, and there was a hierarchy of scholars, farmers, and businessmen, more people were willing to enter the business world for money.

However, this depended on whether the person had the talent or not.

Next, Lin Yuelan and Liu Yichen entered the negotiation stage.

The result of the negotiation was:

Liu Yichen arranged for the peanuts to be shipped to Taoyuan Village for oil extraction. He charged five coins per catty of peanuts. After that, he ordered 300 catties of peanut oil, 500 catties of corn oil, and 500 catties of soybean oil from Lin Yuelan.

They were purchased at 85 and 75 coins, respectively.

Liu Yichen’s purpose in buying these things was to either give them to others as a favor or sell them to those rich and powerful families.

After all, the title of the Great Royal Merchant wasn’t bestowed by the Emperor for nothing. Many people recognized the Liu family’s things as luxuries. In the modern world, the Liu family would be considered a famous brand.

The reason why Lin Yuelan didn’t personally arrange for people to go to the country to buy peanuts was because of the lack of manpower. Secondly, this matter might cause a sensation in the country and cause the Taoyuan Village to be exposed prematurely. This was something Lin Yuelan didn’t want to happen. Thirdly, the Liu family was a big royal merchant. With this brand, it was perfectly justifiable for them to suddenly do this. No one would suspect them, so there wouldn’t be so much trouble.

All in all, Lin Yuelan would leave all this to Liu Yichen, and she would only charge for the oil extraction fees.

Five copper coins per catty. After deducting labor costs, she earned a net profit. Why not?

Since the finished product of the oil press had been successfully manufactured, it was easy to manufacture one, two, or more.

However, Lin Yuelan directly planned to build an oil mill in Taoyuan Village and turn it into a vegetable oil factory.

As for the factory, Lin Yuelan had already thought about it when she was building Lin’s Garden. She had even built many factories already, but they had been empty for nearly half a year.

However, with the harvest of peanuts, soybeans, corn, and sweet potatoes, these factories would gradually be used.

Tofu mill, sweet potato flour factory, oil mill) red wine factory, etc.

However, from the second year onwards, Liu Yichen was not required to purchase peanuts. Instead, he ordered vegetable oil directly from Lin Yuelan. The price would be different according to the quality.

Liu Yichen had no objections.

Lin Yuelan didn’t mention why Liu Yichen didn’t need to purchase peanuts from the second year onwards, and Liu Yichen didn’t ask either.

He understood that Lin Yuelan definitely had her own plans.

However, the cooperation between him and Lin Yuelan was a two-way benefit.

For him, whether he bought the peanuts or not, he would not lose much

Liu Yichen and Lin Yuelan could be considered to have reached an agreement.

However, this cooperation was temporarily kept a secret.

Many merchants would rack their brains to build connections with a royal merchant like Liu Yichen and do business with him.

However, a small merchant like Lin Yuelan was still a small merchant in the eyes of a big merchant, even though she owned a few medicine stores and restaurants.

Therefore, a small merchant was lucky enough to have a connection with the Great Royal Merchant.

” What? Young Master, you’re going to order people to purchase peanuts from all over the country? ” Lou Ye looked at his young master in disbelief.

“Yes, just go. Why do you ask so much nonsense?” Liu Yichen glanced at Lou Ye with dissatisfaction.

He realized that Lou Ye seemed to be more and more suspicious of his orders.

He was even suspecting that the attitude of Lin Garden’s people had directly affected his subordinate, causing his prestige in this subordinate to become lower and lower.

Lou Ye looked at his young master’s expression and immediately nodded. ‘ Okay, I’ll go now!

However, before he left, Lou Ye still asked suspiciously, ” Young Master, could it be that we bought so many peanuts just to extract peanut oil? But how long will it take to extract oil from so many peanuts?”

It took them half a day to go through 100 catties of peanuts.

If they really purchased peanuts from all over the country, even if every household did not have many peanuts, they could at least collect tens of thousands of catties of peanuts. How long would that take to be extracted into oil?

Liu Yichen felt disdain for his subordinate’s stupid question.

He said, ” Do you think everyone is as stupid as you? Is oil extraction the only way to handle the peanuts?”

Lou Ye suddenly choked and said with embarrassment, ” Young Master, I’ll go and give the order! ‘
