The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"Okay, one hundred and fifty coins is no problem. Just help me make it stronger. I'll pay one ounce of silver as a deposit first, and I'll come back to pick it up in five days."

"no problem."

After Fu Yunxi placed the order with the blacksmith, he strolled around the town, mainly looking at items such as tables, chairs and benches.

Although she has it in her space, the opening of a new store definitely needs to be well decorated, and an attractive storefront is a very important part.

"Xi'er, how's the progress today?"

Mu Yibai had just finished his business in town, and they went out together in the morning, originally planning to buy a store together.

But Wei Yunnuo said that it would be faster if they acted separately, and he would go to make the plaque by himself. Fu Yunxi did not stop him, and the two agreed on a time to go home together.

"It went smoothly. The copper pot was made in five days and the shop was bought. How about you?"

"My side is also pretty good. I wrote the sign myself and it's expected to be completed in two days."

"Well, let's go back! I plan to ask Sister Hongying and the others to come to the store to help. What do you think?"

Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi chatted as they walked, "Everything is up to Madam. If there are not enough people, I will ask Uncle Yun to send a few people over. Don't work too hard."

Mu Yibai didn't care who came to help, he just didn't want Fu Yunxi to be too tired.

"No, building a house is also an important matter for the family now. The hot pot restaurant has enough staff, and we can hire more if things don't work out."

Fu Yunxi also wants to settle down as soon as possible and live in a new house. Then she can start stockpiling supplies for the winter. Just thinking about it makes her feel happy!

"it is good--"

Mu Yibai obeyed Fu Yunxi's words. Whatever she said was the truth and he loved his own wife.

……

"Bai Ge'er, Xi'er, you're back, come in quickly."

Mrs. Luo kept looking out the door all morning, hoping that they would come back.

"Mom, why are you so anxious today?"

"As soon as you left in the morning, the county magistrate came and said he had something to ask you. I said I couldn't convey it on his behalf.

He has been sitting here all morning and has already drunk two pots of tea. He is finally waiting for you to come back."

The county magistrate looked hurried and refused to explain what the matter was. The Luo family had no choice but to do their best to entertain him.

"Okay, don't worry, mom. Let's go see what's going on."

Fu Yunxi probably guessed the purpose of the county magistrate's visit!

"Mr. County Magistrate, we didn't know you were coming today. We were unable to greet you and instead made you wait here. We are really sorry."

Fu Yunxi stepped into the room and first smiled. The county magistrate actually came to see her at this moment. He was really patient.

"I didn't tell you in advance. I came to you today to ask you something. How many of the improved high-yield seeds do you still have?"

Since accepting the seeds and silver from Fu Yunxi and others more than half a month ago, the county magistrate has been very busy.

While arranging people to sow seeds, he also spent money to upgrade the infrastructure of Lianjiang County and went to other counties to purchase grain.

However, in the past two days he discovered that this new type of seed grew very well and could still germinate in this poor soil.

Now, the corn seedlings in the field have grown to one foot tall and are lush green. Compared with the original seeds, they are completely different.

"There are still some. Why, has the county magistrate seen the bright future of the seeds?

I thought you were here to ask for your wages."

Fu Yunxi couldn't help teasing him. A county magistrate went out without any official servants. He didn't know where the money donated by Uncle Yun went!

"What are you talking about? The seeds are very good, and the corn seedlings have grown very tall. I wanted to come to you to discuss expanding the planting.

Didn't you say that the harvest would be ready in three months? If there were still seeds left, I would send people to sow them immediately, and we could harvest another crop in the fall."

The county magistrate had never been so excited. Even though the seeds had been improved in the past, the germination rate was still extremely low.

The cost of grain harvest is not good enough, and a large portion of it needs to be left as seeds. This vicious cycle has led to the increasing scarcity of grain in Lianjiang County.

"About three months! I still have 300 kilograms of wheat, corn, sweet potato, and potato seeds, as well as 200 kilograms of kapok seeds.

The weather this year is unusual, and the winter temperature may be lower than in previous years, so it is definitely a good idea to stock up on more kapok.”

Fu Yunxi took the opportunity to mention the extreme cold to the county magistrate, hoping that he would pay attention to Lianjiang County's cold prevention work.

After all, the temperature will drop sharply by then, and many people may be frozen to death silently overnight!

"That's right. It seems we need to stock up on more coal, kapok and other things. Where are the seeds? I will send people to start sowing this afternoon."

The county magistrate thought that what Fu Yunxi said made a lot of sense and it was always better to be prepared.

"I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to you! You can't take it away right now."

"That's fine, thank you for your hard work. You have done a great thing for our Lianjiang County! I want all the people to know about you!"

The county magistrate felt a little ashamed. When they had just settled down, some donated money and some donated seeds. Where could he find such selfless people now?

As for himself, he was usually frugal and seldom brought officers or soldiers with him when he went out to do work, mainly because he had limited manpower before.

It seems that I need to bring some help with me when I go out to do things in the future!

"Thank you, sir, but that's not necessary. We don't give these to gain fame, but to enable the people of Lianjiang County to live a good life."

"By the way, I have a pesticide formula here. I'll mix some and mix it into the seeds to prevent insects and pests."

Fu Yunxi now just wants to live her life in peace and stability, and nothing else matters for now.

"Of course. This batch of seeds is so good that we must save them. But what is the prescription you are talking about?"

The county magistrate would certainly want to preserve such precious seeds, and he has already instructed people to save the seeds from this harvest.

"It is a special pesticide for agricultural crops. It does not harm the crops when mixed with seeds. It has insecticidal effects and helps the growth of crops."

This formula is actually the crystallization of the wisdom of modern working people and is specifically used for crop cultivation. Fu Yunxi happened to have related books in her space, and she had already studied them.

"Great! I'll come back to see you when it's time to sow. You are so young! There aren't many young people like you anymore!"

The county magistrate was very pleased. If only Lianjiang County could be richer, many young people would not have to move away. After experiencing this year's natural disasters, their Lianjiang County was severely damaged and was in urgent need of young and promising people like them!

"No problem, I will arrange for someone to send you and the seeds back." It must be said that Fu Yunxi had a very good impression of the county magistrate. Perhaps the appearance of this kind of official who truly serves the country and the people is quite pleasing to the eye!
