The Spring Festival of 1637 is approaching, and all parts of Liaodong have already felt the festive atmosphere in advance. With the increasing number of immigrants in eastern Liaoning, especially the increasing number of migrant farmers who enjoy the company's policy of guaranteeing production to households, various places are becoming more and more lively.

Before the Spring Festival, the markets in the vast rural areas of eastern Liaoning become extremely lively. Many farmers prepare their own agricultural products and come to the market early to trade what they need with other farmers.

Although the granaries of the homes of migrant farmers from all over Liaodong were full of grain, they would rather be moldy and hairy, but they would rather pile them in the granaries. The Far Eastern Company is now afraid that the peasant households in Liaodong will not sell their grain, and if they want to invigorate the economy of the vast rural areas in Liaodong, they must let the peasant households in Liaodong take out the surplus grain at home. Because they have too much surplus food in their hands, they simply need to hoard so much.

But these farmers used to be afraid of hunger, and they regarded the surplus food at home as their lifeline. Many farmers in eastern Liaoning sit on the opposite side of the granary every day with a bench, smirking at the granary full of budding rice sticks.

In the long winter of Liaodong, this is also one of the ways for the majority of farmers to spend their days. Every day is like this, they never get tired of it, they have never had such a day in their family before, and the surplus grain in the granary is enough for the whole family to eat for several years. Even sitting next to a packed granary every day is a great happiness.

To this end, the company instructed the Ministry of Commerce to come up with a plan to effectively change the traditional thinking of farmers and try to guide the majority of farmers to consume correctly. In order to stimulate the shopping demand of the vast number of farmers in eastern Liaodong, the Ministry of Commerce of the Far East is still more than two months before the Spring Festival. Aggressively promote and market in various places. A large number of personnel were dispatched to the grassroots villages to distribute leaflets and put up posters.

The company's business department has all kinds of Spring Festival promotion methods, starting from the wax month. All kinds of goods of daily grocery supply and marketing cooperatives around the country began to carry out a month-long preferential promotion. When the majority of farmers see the leaflets and posters, they are a little unbelievable when they see the preferential activities such as discounts, buy one get one free, shopping lottery, buy 100 and get 50 free.

They saw that the prices of things that they were reluctant to buy before had become much cheaper. There are many other things, and if you buy one, you will also give a gift. And if you spend a certain amount in the supply and marketing cooperative, you can also participate in the lottery. The various prizes are extremely rich, and they are all commodities in the daily miscellaneous supply and marketing cooperatives.

These old-fashioned promotional methods in modern society have exploded with amazing energy in this era. Many peasant households have tasted the sweetness of the Far East's land policy of guaranteeing production to households. The surplus grain at home is full, and the enthusiasm for shopping has become extremely high, and they have gone to the grocery supply and marketing cooperatives in the market to inquire about the promotion.

The company saw that the shopping demand of farmers in Liaodong was so large, and they also made a lot of preparations accordingly. There is still a month left before the Spring Festival. Far Eastern companies are also supply and marketing cooperatives in major bazaars. The hoarding of goods has been increased in due course. The various grocery supply and marketing cooperatives are full of all kinds of New Year's goods and household daily necessities, making the market overcrowded every day.

Because there are too many migrant farmers from all over Liaodong who come to the Japanese grocery supply and marketing cooperatives during the Spring Festival, the farmers who exchange for goods in the supply and marketing cooperatives only accept grain before the Spring Festival. During this period, countless farmers drove their ox carts full of grain to the market, hoping to take advantage of the promotional activities of the grocery supply and marketing cooperatives to buy various commodities there.

The vast number of peasant households came to the market before dawn because there were too many people. As a result, ox carts lined up outside the market for more than ten miles. Dressed in thick cotton clothes, everyone sat on the ox cart with their families and waited slowly to enter the market.

In order to ensure the order of the bazaars in various places. The Far Eastern Military Commission also sent troops to stand guard and patrol the rural bazaars in various localities to maintain order and prevent chaos from causing a trample.

Li Laogen and his North Korean girls sat on an ox cart full of grain, and since they got the promotional brochure, the two of them began to study at home. The two of them wore thick cotton clothes, sat on the ox cart and continued to calculate.

"Now buy one bag of white salt and get one bag free, this one has to buy more. We will also eat salt in the future, so if we buy more this time, we will save half of the food. There is also a large water tank, if you buy one now, you will also send two jars, this is too cost-effective, we will get two more back, whether it is to fill water, or pickled cabbage can be used, it is really not good to leave it to the son to use, he has to buy a daughter-in-law.

By the way, I have to buy more lamp oil, this has to be used every day, not to mention that I can buy it cheaper than 20%, buy the kind of fifty catties of a barrel, and give an oil lamp for nothing, that kind of oil lamp I have long been in sight, but I have not been willing to buy, with this oil lamp, when the day after tomorrow is just dark, I can carry this oil lamp, and I can work in the field for a while. Hey...... At worst, there is only a thin iron bucket left. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, I will also tear some cloth for you and your son to make new clothes. ”

The North Korean girl was pregnant again, she glanced at Li Laogen, turned her head and tightened the neckline for the son behind her, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to buy it for me, you two buy it, I still just came here to send this dress, and I have only been wearing it for a year." We don't need to buy so much lamp oil, we have to use such a large barrel for many years. ”

Li Laogen listened. Immediately glared and said: "What do you old lady know, fifty catties of lamp oil are cheaper by 20%, you should get ten catties of oil more, and you can get an extra oil lamp, and you can still have a thin iron oil drum left when you run out, don't you understand this little account." I'll decide what new clothes I'll wear, pull some more cloth for you, and make a few clothes. Besides, our family now has food, and it's not that bad. ”

Other farmers waiting here are also constantly calculating the gains and losses, hoping to take advantage of the promotional activities of the daily grocery supply and marketing cooperatives. Ox carts full of grain were hurried to the market by the farmers, and when they came out, they were all loaded with all kinds of New Year's goods and miscellaneous daily necessities.

Farmers buy the most salt, because this time the bags of refined salt are the most promoted, buy one bag and get one bag free. Although the Far East has built many salt farms along the coast, the annual production of refined salt can be described as astronomical. Moreover, the salt farm built by modern production methods has a very large output, very low cost, and the quality of refined salt produced is also very high.

At present, the high-quality refined salt produced in the Far East has become a major product of the Far East, which is exported to the Ming Dynasty, Japan, North Korea, Southeast Asia, Indochina Peninsula, South Asia and the Middle East, and is well received by various regions.

When the farmers saw such a big promotion of refined salt, they were all stunned. Most of them have bought a lot of refined salt in large bags, and in their opinion, the more they buy now, the greater the advantage, so they desperately load it into the carriage. (To be continued......)
