Chapter 567 Secretary Quan
Even Captain Ma felt a bit embarrassed when he mentioned the number. An acre of paddy field, after toiling for a year through two seasons, could at most yield 500 kg of dry grain.
Such 500 kg of dry grain, when sold to the state, would be priced at eleven yuan per 100 kg. After deducting labor and fertilizer costs, an acre of paddy could only net tens of yuan.
But now, he was asking Jiang Mengyu for a hundred yuan per acre contract fee for mountain land.
Mengyu looked at him without saying a word.
Captain Ma: "Think it's too expensive? There can be—"

Mengyu sighed. If he knew that just digging up a single ginseng in that valley could earn more than this lease fee, she wondered what he would think?
However, before Mengyu, no one had ever obtained those things.
