Why marry someone when you are reborn?
Chapter 239 Asking for money
This snow lasted for half a month.
As soon as I went out, it was all white. Occasionally, the only thing standing out was a black tree trunk covered with snow and icicles.
In fact, it would be fine if it were just snow.
The most terrible thing is ice.
Not only is it easy for people to slip, but even the crystal clear icicles under the eaves, which are as sharp as cones, can easily hurt people.
Xu Yun has now learned the trick of how to stand steadily when his feet slip when he goes out.
Those are all experiences gained from falling.
Luo Li was the most unlucky one. She sprained her ankle quite seriously and even broke some bones. She could only sit or lie down to recuperate and could not go anywhere in the house.
Gao Yu asked someone to get a sled from an old farmer - the old farmer had seven or eight big dogs, which were used specifically to pull the sled.
In previous winters, I helped people transport things to earn money. This year, Gao Yu came and directly paid ten taels of silver to hire him.
The old farmer was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth.
With the sled, Xu Yun and Luo Li went out to inspect various places.
He was wrapped in a sheepskin coat with a hood and a scarf, with only his eyes exposed, but he was able to withstand the cold.
The old farmer knew that it was Xu Yun who was pulling the cart, so he returned five taels of the ten taels of silver and said cheerfully, "Our grandson is studying in the county. Thanks to County Magistrate Xu. I dare not take too much. Just enough to feed the dog."
Xu Yun stuffed the money back and said, "This is what you deserve. Keep it."
The old farmer had no choice but to serve Xu Yun even more attentively. He even gave Xu Yun a basket of the first batch of Chinese cabbage seedlings grown by his daughter-in-law.
The cabbage was not very green and was a bit thin.
But they were tied into small bundles with straw, neatly arranged and washed clean, which was a pleasure to look at.
Especially in this winter, Xu Yun had been eating cabbage for half a month, and when she suddenly saw green leafy vegetables, she felt greedy.
Xu Yun finally accepted it.
But she also asked Gao Yu to give her money - she really had no money, and now both she and Luo Li depended on Gao Yu's private money to live.
Gao Yu gave it very happily and instructed: "Except for your own food, send everything else to me and I will buy it."
This winter, I am craving for a bite of fresh vegetable leaves!
Although the cabbage is delicious, you can’t eat it every day! You will almost taste like cabbage!
Xu Yun and her friends were reluctant to give these dishes to others, so they asked the cook to boil them in chicken noodle soup - it was so delicious!
The seedlings had only been eaten for less than a day when Zhu Qing came to find Xu Yun.
When Xu Yun heard that Zhu Qing came for fresh vegetables, he was speechless for a moment: He shouldn't be so well-informed?
Zhu Qing told Xu Yun the purpose of his visit under his guilty gaze: "There are a lot of fresh vegetables coming in recently, but this stuff doesn't last long. The county could sell it for a high price at the beginning, but now it's no longer possible—"
"Then go sell it in other counties." Xu Yun said briefly and glanced at Zhu Qing: "That's it?"
Aren't you here to blame her?
Zhu Qing was confused: "That's it. What else could it be?"
After a pause, he said, "It's not appropriate to sell it in other counties. Every family can't grow much. If I go there alone--"
After hearing this, Xu Yun understood everything: "You want the county to act as a matchmaker? To take charge of the transportation?"
Zhu Qing nodded, but felt a little guilty and embarrassed: "This job is a bit trivial and troublesome."
But the implication of his words still seemed to be that he thought it would be best for the county government to handle this matter.
Xu Yun held his forehead with his hand, feeling a little headache, so he simply said something more serious: "Mr. Zhu, I run the school, the carpet workshop, and the fur workshop because without the government's leadership, it can't be done. Because it won't be profitable for a while."
"Businessmen don't think about the people. They only think about how they can make more money."
“And all of this has to wait.”
Xu Yun sighed and looked at Zhu Qing, who was at a loss. "But for this matter, there is no need to wait. You can get the money right away. You don't even need merchants. Each village can do it themselves."
There are so many counties around the north.
Several villages gathered together and sent them to the town.
From the town to the county town -
Is it okay to have a wife?
Zhu Qing hesitated and said, "Why don't we send it to Beiping? There are many noble people in Beiping..."
Xu Yun didn't want to talk for a moment.
The atmosphere in the room was a little silent.
Gao Yu couldn't help it, and felt sorry for Xu Yun for wasting so much saliva, so he just opened his mouth and said unhappily: "Do you know that there are vegetable farmers outside of Beiping, and the price of vegetables in winter is cheaper than here?"
"Moreover, there are not only vegetables from the greenhouse, but also vegetables transported from the south—"
How do the common vegetables here compare with those?
Gao Yu couldn't help but look at Zhu Qing with contempt, disdaining his lack of knowledge.
Zhu Qing was silent.
The farthest place he had been was the capital. He had never been to Beiping. He had never been to the south.
Xu Yun gave Zhu Qing an idea: "If you really want to sell it at a high price, transport it further north. Send it to Yanmen Pass. You can even sell it to foreigners."
Foreigners who make a living by herding, want to eat a bite of green in winter? That's just a dream!
Xu Yun smiled and said, "They have a lot of leather. We can also trade them."
It's not that the foreigners have completely stopped interacting with this side.
There were also caravans coming and going.
Neither side blocked it.
After all, foreigners also have good things, and the things from China are indeed valuable when sold there.
Zhu Qing's eyes widened at Xu Yun's suggestion: "Won't it freeze to death?"
So cold, so far away—
"That's something you need to consider." Xu Yun smiled and offered another idea: "If you really want to sell it at Yanmen Pass, take out 50 kilograms first and give it to the garrison at Yanmen Pass so that the soldiers can have a taste of it."
When Zhu Qing heard the number “fifty kilograms”, he almost fainted from the heartache.
Fifty kilograms! One kilogram of vegetables costs more than one tael of silver nowadays. Fifty kilograms of vegetables, for free?!
Zhu Qing waved his hands: "No, no! This village can't even harvest 50 kilograms of vegetables!"
Every household only grows a little bit of it in wooden boxes, and they are reluctant to eat it themselves, so one crop will only produce two or three kilograms at most. If you pick out the quality, it may only be a little more than one kilogram!
If this were given away as a gift, the people would be heartbroken!
Seeing Zhu Qing like this, Xu Yun knew that this matter would not be accomplished this year. He didn't say anything immediately, waved his hand, and asked Zhu Qing to go down and think about it, and handed over the matter of selling vegetables to him.
It also shows that the county government will not intervene in this matter.
Even Zhu Qing could only give advice and help with arrangements.
Zhu Qing walked away hesitantly. It was obvious that he had many questions to ask.
Xu Yun didn't look at him until Zhu Qing was completely gone, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
How to say it... After so much time, she finally understood what kind of person Zhu Qing was.
Zhu Qing's biggest problem is that he lacks courage.
Although he is quite courageous, his vision is really narrow.
Gao Yu shook his head and sighed: "If he is like this, how can we be assured of handing Lingtai County over to him when we leave."
I can't catch the opportunity when it comes, it's really...
