Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Xu Yun didn't care what these people thought.

Anyway, after the banquet is over, she will just do whatever she needs to do.

As for those people who stayed behind to ask Zhu Qing many questions, she didn't care.

Anyway, even if those people only believed in Zhu Qing and were willing to listen to him, they couldn't just let Zhu Qing be the county magistrate. It was even more impossible for the court to replace him with a new county magistrate.

We can't even let her disappear from this world like the previous county magistrate did.

Moreover, if Zhu Qing was willing to listen to her, they would be even more helpless.

In fact, in response to everyone's anxious inquiries, Zhu Qing was silent for a while, and only said: "Our County Magistrate Xu is really capable. I don't think there is anything wrong with the donation. The higher-ups will definitely pay attention to it."

For a family that does good deeds, maybe this matter will be reported to the higher authorities and remembered by those two people?

Even if they just become familiar with each other, it will be a good thing for the whole family.

After saying this, Zhu Qing hurriedly said his goodbyes, leaving them to think on their own.

However, Xu Yun did not give these people much time to think.

Early the next morning, Xu Yun appeared in front of everyone in the yamen as if in the spring breeze. He greeted everyone he met with a smile. Anyone could see that their county magistrate was in a really good mood.

Such a high profile naturally attracted curiosity.

Chief Clerk Liu An could not help but ask, "Is County Magistrate Xu having a happy event?"

Xu Yun looked at Zhu Qing with a smile: "Yes, we received the first donation last night. It's not a small amount."

When he said the word "not small", everyone saw that the corners of Xu Yun's mouth curled up again.

Obviously, this “not small” really is not small.

Zhu Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Others also had mixed feelings.

After all, fame and fortune are what move people.

Xu Yun didn't care what these people thought, he was happy all morning, and watched the news spread through various channels like a good show.

Looking at those wealthy businessmen and gentry, they became suspicious and even started to test each other.

Anyway, the final result was that Xu Yun was very satisfied when he looked at the details of the donation post.

Luo Li couldn't help laughing: "Ah Yun's trick really works."

"It's possible that no one can guess that I'm just pretending to be mysterious. It's just... it's closely related to them, and they can't just ignore it." Xu Yun smiled: "I'm always afraid that others will really catch up with me."

After all, they weren't that united.

Unable to achieve unity.

This caused her to stir up trouble and muddy the situation.

Luo Li said: "That doesn't matter. As long as the result is good, it's fine."

Xu Yun thought so too.

Anyway, with the donated money and things, Xu Yun took drastic measures to set up a free school.

Not only did he buy a suitable house, he also asked a carpenter to make a new table, new chairs, and a new kang.

Finally, he bought some unsold land from the government and used it as land for the free school.

These lands can be rented out to farmers for cultivation, and the rent can be collected every year.

These rents can be used as money to repair the school buildings and pay teachers' tuition.

After all, we can't just think about being glamorous now, we also have to think about how to last in the long run.

Therefore, everything else in the school was designed to be practical and durable. The only extravagant thing was the whole bluestone wall - they didn't use a whole piece, but it looked good if they built it out of large pieces.

The names of the donors were engraved on it in neat regular script.

It took more than a month to complete this project.

And in this month or so, the busy autumn harvest has completely passed.

Xu Yun and Luo Li were so busy that they had to keep their feet on the ground before they finished this wave of work. They asked Zhu Qing to escort the collected taxes to the provincial capital for payment.

Only until this moment did Xu Yun feel relieved.

After the autumn harvest and planting a crop of winter vegetables that can be harvested before the heavy snow, farmers can officially have some free time.

Xu Yun then arranged for the school to open.

Although she had ordered that both girls and boys could enroll, there were only two girls on the list.

After asking, I found out that these two families had no sons.

In any family with both boys and girls, the boy will still be the one to come.

Xu Yun looked at the list in silence.

Liu An, the chief clerk, had sweaty palms as he explained, "Most of the girls themselves didn't want to come, saying they didn't want to be with boys."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Nothing. Since the order has been confirmed, let them come to school. When they register, ask them clearly whether they will live on campus. If they do, let them bring their own bedding, firewood, rice, flour, etc."

The school does not provide meals.

He didn't care about pens, ink, paper, inkstone, or bedding.

This requires students to prepare by themselves.

So it’s actually quite a bit of expense.

But for a big family, it is not unaffordable if we grit our teeth.

Xu Yun personally attended to the opening of school and invited all the important people in the county to visit.

Finally, we invited the great philanthropist who made the largest donation to come and cut the ribbon in person - in any case, the gimmick was fully created, the person was praised highly, and received a lot of praise and gratitude.

Such a huge momentum made many people regret: If they had known this would happen, they would have paid for the attention, and they would have done it!

In addition, Xu Yun announced another thing at this opening ceremony.

That is the adult school.

Adult schools don’t teach anything else.

Just teach skills.

carpenter.

blacksmith.

Bricklayer.

cobbler.

There are also carpet weavers.

These two craftsmen were not even Han Chinese, but Wusi people.

The Wusi nation was destroyed, and many people came to the Han territory to make a living.

These two are the ones. Their craftsmanship is first-rate.

It was originally used to make carpets for the palace.

But Xu Yun shamelessly asked for it.

Originally I wanted seven or eight, but there were only seven in the palace, so two was the limit for her.

Among them, leatherworkers and weaving craftsmen were the ones Xu Yun valued the most.

Xu Yun said succinctly: "In our area, the grain yield is not high, and there are not many other products. The most produced thing is leather. Various kinds of leather and sheep."

"Wool is used to make carpets. Sheep skin and other skins are used to make leather coats and boots. Winter is long and we have nothing to do at home, so we make these. If the products are exquisite enough, the price will go up."

"Don't worry about not being able to sell it. I will contact the rich businessman myself! If the rich businessman doesn't come, I, Xu Yun, will buy it myself!"

After saying this, Xu Yun had a small box of gold brought out! He opened the lid and let people have a good look!

Gold! So much gold!

Many people have never seen so much gold in their lives!

No, in fact, I have never seen gold!

This is the first time!

Most of them stared with wide eyes.

Oh my God, is the new County Magistrate Xu so rich?

Suddenly, the people were full of trust in the new County Magistrate Xu!

From the looks of it, County Magistrate Xu doesn't seem like the kind of person who would tell lies!
