Why marry someone when you are reborn?

As soon as Xu Yun's affirmative words came out, Liu An and the others' faces became even more excited: "County Magistrate Xu really cares about the people!"

This flattery is... a bit stiff.

But it looks sincere.

Xu Yun smiled and said, "There are also carpenters. If there are any who are not very skilled but know a little bit, you can ask them to come and help my carpenters."

Learn it by the way.

Xu Yun said: "But there is no money, so I only work to get food."

Liu An and the others were even happier: "Good, good, good!"

Then, several people looked at Xu Yun expectantly.

Xu Yun spread his hands: "That's all. Let's leave it at that for now."

The other craftsmen are not needed for the time being. We will deal with them after the place is cleaned up.

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu An and the others all looked disappointed.

But there is no other way but to do the work.

Xu Yun watched them leave and smiled.

It's a good thing that there are people in the county government who truly care about the people.

After finishing this matter, Xu Yun went to the front yamen again.

When a new official takes office, there are many things to do.

Check whether there are any cases waiting for an end, see if the accounts match, and understand how the government operates - all of these require time and energy.

However, what surprised Xu Yun was that there was really no backlog of cases.

Moreover, according to the files, the public security in Lingtai County is extremely good.

There are very few murders, almost none.

There isn't much theft or robbery.

Most of the time it was just fights.

Of course, this situation may also be an illusion.

Just to fool the higher-ups.

But Xu Yun was not in a hurry to investigate this. She looked at the accounts first.

After all, many things cost money.

But Lingtai County is too poor.

Looking at the remaining money and food on the account, Xu Yun was silent for a long time.

Even a little desperate.

Xu Yun sighed deeply, then strolled around the yamen, chatting and getting to know people when he had nothing to do.

But it didn't take long before Zhu Qing came over.

Zhu Qing's list is ready.

Xu Yun and Zhu Qing went to write the invitations together.

After finishing it, he asked Zhu Qing to have people deliver it to each household.

After finishing all this, Zhu Qing suddenly said to Xu Yun: "Thank you."

Xu Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at him in confusion: "Thank you for what?"

Good and proper——

Zhu Qing lowered his eyes: "Xu County Magistrate is much better than I thought. He really cares about the people. However, a little skill can only benefit a few people."

What would a dozen more craftsmen do?

Xu Yun smiled and asked directly: "Do you think I am just pretending to be good?"

Without waiting for Zhu Qing to answer, she actually had the answer in her heart.

But she didn't have much time to waste.

County magistrates are generally replaced every three years.

There are also some that don’t change.

But Xu Yun didn't want to stay here forever, so she thought she must achieve some results within three years.

Otherwise, how could she return to Peking?

Lingtai County is just a stepping stone, but this achievement must be outstanding.

People must be convinced and unable to say a bad word.

Therefore, Xu Yun was unwilling to waste any time and energy.

She doesn't need everyone's approval.

Therefore, Xu Yun stared at Zhu Qing and said calmly: "You and I will work together to transform Lingtai County. Within three years, if I am promoted, I will report to my superiors and recommend you to be the next county magistrate."

After a pause, she added: "Of course, Liu An and the others are also under my observation. If you are not as good as them, that is another matter."

These words made Zhu Qing raise his head as fast as lightning.

Xu Yun met his eyes and gave his assurance: "The country is short of manpower now. If you do a good job, nothing is impossible. Moreover, I am the only female Jinshi in the country. You should be able to imagine how much your majesties value me."

Zhu Qing's expression changed.

Xu Yun didn't bother to think about it, and went straight to the point: "Tell me first, when the roads are blocked by heavy snow in winter, what do ordinary people do at home?"

Zhu Qing simply couldn't keep up with Xu Yun's topic.

He was a little dazed, which was rare. "Ah? Oh, oh, in winter, they usually stay at home doing needlework. There is nothing else to do. The men will at most get together to gamble or something - but they won't gamble big."

Xu Yun nodded, and understood the situation. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Is there nothing else I can do in winter?"

At this point, Zhu Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

They have also thought about these.

But the snow blocked the road, so it was impossible to go hunting in the mountains. Wild animals without food in winter are very fierce, and you might lose your life if you encounter them. And if they froze to death in the mountains, there would be no way to find them.

Planting crops? That's even more impossible.

In other words, I can do needlework.

Xu Yun finally understood. She pondered for a moment and said, "Women don't have anything else to do except weaving and sewing, right?"

Zhu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Weaving straw mats?"

Xu Yun was speechless.

Straw mats...are not worth much.

No wonder people here are so poor.

Xu Yun said decisively: "But the winter is long, how can we just waste it like this? We must find something to do!"

Zhu Qing simply asked Xu Yun: "What does County Magistrate Xu think?"

Xu Yun said: "What do we produce here? Tell me first."

Zhu Qing thought for a moment: "Sheep? Sheep skin? Wool? Various leather materials? There's nothing else -"

Xu Yun knew that there was really no surprise for her here. So she waved her hand and said, "I brought six fur craftsmen here."

Zhu Qing was stunned: "We have it locally--"

Xu Yun shook his head: "Not the kind that makes simple fur coats. But the kind that can make fur coats."

The kind sold to noble people!

Zhu Qing still didn't quite understand.

Xu Yun sighed and said, "From today on, no skins will be sold. Unless it's tiger skin or bear skin, which are valuable only if sold as a whole. Other skins, even sheepskin, will not be sold."

"We'll make them all into fur coats and sell them!"

"There's nothing to do in the winter, so just do this!"

Zhu Qing immediately objected: "After it's made, it won't be worth much if we sell it again!"

Xu Yun asked him speechlessly: "Who said we sell it in spring? We ship it out in summer and start selling it in autumn! We will save the furs from this autumn and sell them next year!"

Zhu Qing did not think it was a good idea. Instead, he looked unhappy: "Xu County Magistrate does not understand the difficulties faced by the people of Lingtai County. You may say a few words, but if they don't sell the fur at a good price this autumn, they may not be able to make ends meet in the winter!"

If people starve to death, who will be responsible?

This is just taking it for granted, which is inappropriate!

Zhu Qing felt that he had been really foolish to put his hopes on the young female county magistrate in front of him.

She's so young, and she's a woman, how could it be possible...

However, Xu Yun said in a resounding voice: "I will pay them for the furs first! Then they can take the deposit and take the furs back to make fur coats. As long as the fur coats pass the inspection, they can get another salary!"

Zhu Qing unconsciously opened his mouth slightly and widened his eyes.
