Why marry someone when you are reborn?

The scene Xu Yun described was so beautiful that the merchants simply couldn't believe it.

A boss named Qin tentatively said, "If you save for two years, it would double, which is reasonable."

Others also nodded - it was normal to sell two-year-old leather for twice the price.

In an instant, everyone's excited hearts calmed down and became much quieter.

Xu Yun looked at everyone like this and sighed.

I thought to myself that this place is indeed poor.

Even the merchants don't really have any big ambitions.

If she hadn't done that, I guess she wouldn't have been able to defraud much money from the donation.

However, since they didn't dare to think about it, Xu Yun simply explained it himself: "We need to stock up on leather this year. But... we will try to double our earnings every year in the future."

If you can't even do this, why bother with all that effort?

Boss Qin was shocked: "Xu County Magistrate is really big——"

He suddenly stopped talking, not daring to say anything disrespectful to Xu Yun, fearing that it would bring him trouble.

But everyone knew what Boss Qin wanted to say.

Boss Qin knew this himself, so he could only look at Xu Yun, hoping that Xu Yun would not bother with him.

Xu Yun smiled and said, "If we monopolize most of the furs in the north, who will decide the price of furs?"

The bosses fell into deep thought because of this sentence.

Xu Yun was not in a hurry and let them think about it.

After all, this is something that requires more thought.

Boss Ding was the first to figure it out, but he also felt that it was not easy to achieve at this time: "Even if we hold all the leather in our hands, if the price is high, they won't buy it, then we will lose money, right?"

Then it’s not a question of making money or not.

But at a loss.

Xu Yun said calmly: "It's just a little higher overall. Besides, we have already picked out the best leathers and made them into fur coats. We can make a lot of money in this regard."

If you sell leather that is not that good at normal price, you can still make a profit.

The reason for doing this is not to control this business.

It's about providing people with a way to make money.

By the way, she just made some extra money.

But there is no need to say this to these bosses.

Xu Yun took one last look at everyone and didn't want to argue any further: "You guys go back and think about it. You can choose whichever way you want."

Even if someone goes against her and takes all the skins at a high price, she doesn't care.

After saying this, Xu Yun stood up and left.

She also has to meet the vegetable farmer who is responsible for growing vegetables today.

Of course, this vegetable farmer doesn’t grow ordinary vegetables.

Instead, I came to teach everyone how to grow winter vegetables.

The winter here is bitterly cold, not even a blade of grass can grow, let alone grow vegetables. We have to rely on dried and pickled vegetables to get through the winter.

Therefore, Xu Yun specially selected two vegetable farmers who knew how to build greenhouses, intending to teach local people how to grow greenhouse vegetables.

After all, not everyone can learn the craft of making leather.

Those who are older and only know how to grow crops can still grow things.

Once grown, you can not only eat it yourself, but also sell it for some money.

There is never enough food in winter and it is always expensive.

The vegetable farmer has been checking around the village these days, and today he said he had something to report to Xu Yun and discuss with her.

This is of utmost importance.

Xu Yun was very anxious.

One of the vegetable farmers was named Zhang and the other Gong. They came all the way from Peking City with Xu Yun.

Seeing Xu Yun, Zhang Cainong and Gong Cainong stood up to greet Xu Yun, and then without any nonsense, they got straight to the point: "Xu County Magistrate, we two discussed it and think that we don't need to build a greenhouse."

Xu Yun was immediately shocked: "How can we grow crops without a greenhouse? I heard that when the snow is heaviest in winter, it can be as thick as my calves."

How can we survive the winter without a greenhouse?

Gong, the vegetable farmer, smiled and said, "In the past month or so, almost every household has installed a heated kang."

With a heated kang, at least the room with it won’t be too cold.

When Xu Yun heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he felt that he had guessed something.

But she didn't say it directly. Instead, she looked at the two vegetable farmers and waited quietly.

Farmer Zhang replied, "You can use wooden boxes and grow them at home, on the heated kang."

There are not many vegetables that can be grown in the greenhouse, only fast-growing ones such as cucumbers, leeks, radish seedlings, and cabbage seedlings.

There’s no way around beans.

Farmer Gong said frankly: "In places where it's not so cold, you can open the greenhouse during the day to let in the sun. It's too cold here and there's not much sun, so I can only grow some vegetables that are easy to grow. I just want to see some greenery."

Farmer Zhang gestured to measure the size: "If you plant this kind of vegetables, you can eat them when they grow a foot long. Use a wooden box this deep. You can build a shelf and put them on the shelf to make a few more layers."

In this way, we can ensure that there will be green vegetables throughout the winter.

Xu Yun nodded: "Then let's try it this year."

Farmer Gong added, "Spring arrives late here. But once it gets warm, it warms up quickly. In the past, they would wait until it got warm before planting rice seedlings—"

It's strange that there is no drought here, so rice is planted instead.

It’s just that spring sowing is later than in the south, so the yield is not high.

Farmer Gong said: "If we grow rice seedlings at home soon after the Chinese New Year, we can transplant them into the field as soon as the weather warms up. The rice can grow longer and mature better. There will be fewer shriveled grains."

After listening to it, Xu Yun said without hesitation: "Then let's try it this year. Tomorrow I will issue an official document and let Luo Li and you guys do this. Anyone who is willing to try can sign up with you."

"When the time comes, you will have to bear with the burden and provide more guidance."

Both Gong Cainong and Zhang Cainong agreed.

The two felt that they were valued and were in a very good mood. They walked out with brisk steps.

Xu Yun finalized the matter with Luo Li again. Only then did he have time to drink a sip of water.

To be honest, in these two months, I have almost caught up with what others have done in two years.

In addition to these, Xu Yun had another thing that was on his mind.

That is charcoal burning.

Charcoal is also indispensable for keeping warm in winter.

In a room without a kang, you still need to light a charcoal brazier.

But no one burns charcoal here.

No one will burn.

Xu Yun did bring someone who knew how to make charcoal.

But he has been looking for wood everywhere these days, and has not received any reply yet, so he doesn't know whether he can burn charcoal in winter.

However, there is no rush for these.

Xu Yun thought about it and decided that even if the fire could be produced this year, it was unclear whether it would be enough for local use.

I don't plan on selling it out for now.

Xu Yun thought about these things for a while, then got up to do other things - she also wanted to see how those who signed up to learn the craft were doing, whether there were many, and when it would be possible to build a scale.

Gao Yu grabbed Xu Yun and said helplessly, "What are you doing? Why don't you take a rest? Have a drink of water? I was so busy today that I only drank a few sips of water! If you continue like this, do you still want to live?"
