Chapter 485: Advise on Farming and Mulberry Cultivation

Half a year after Yang Heshu took office, he finally clashed with the local grain merchants and gentry.

Unlike Old Master Bai, most of the grain shops in Luojiang County were essentially run by local gentry or big gentry from the state capital.

When Old Master Bai moved to Luojiang County years ago and saw that the county grain shops were impenetrable, he didn't get involved in that business and only bought a couple of stores in the county to conduct some small-scale transactions through his managers.

The grain shops he owned in the Mianzhou region were not vast either, just a few small ones that couldn't even sell off his own surplus grain.

However, Old Master Bai didn't like to sell his grain to Luojiang's merchants. He had his specific partners, with Grain Merchant Wu being just one of them.

But the local grain merchants and gentry of Luojiang County were different; what Yang Heshu did was akin to snatching food from the jaws of a tiger. It'd be a wonder if they were pleased.
