Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Ashu was recuperating in Lingtai County and did not return until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Before he left, Wang Li came back.

Wang Li brought a lot of things, including the latest battle report: Luo Zhan won another beautiful victory, but he could not come back during this period of time. Your Majesties asked him to stay there temporarily to intimidate the Southern Court.

However, Luo Zhan sent a letter back.

I also brought back a lot of things - all new and interesting things from the south.

When Wang Li came this time, Aunt Deng asked Wang Li to bring some for Xu Yun and Luo Li.

Luo Li was a little surprised: "For me?"

Gao Yu blinked and suddenly became smart: "Maybe Aunt Deng has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be her daughter-in-law?"

This sentence made Xu Yun silent: It seems to be true. But didn't Luo Zhan make it clear?

Luo Li was even more stunned. After a long while, he wondered, "No way? Someone like me is not worthy of General Luo."

Gao Yu curled her lips and said, "Luo Zhan is just good at fighting, but in other aspects he is not as good as you. Luo Li, you are praising him too much."

Luo Li laughed dryly twice. She felt that she still had some self-awareness.

Soon, after Luo Li pondered for a moment, he looked at Xu Yun.

Before she spoke, Xu Yun understood what she meant and immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "How about I say something in a veiled way for you. Are you not planning to get married for the time being?"

Luo Li immediately revealed a smile that said, "No one knows me better than Xu Yun."

Gao Yu stretched out both legs in a relaxed manner, leaning on the chair, and laughed twice: "What's the good of getting married? After getting married, you are not free. How can you be happy now? I won't get married! You don't get married either! The three of us will clean up Lingtai County and then go to other counties!"

Luo Li and Xu Yun immediately broke out in cold sweats: So there will be no promotion in this lifetime? !

Xu Yun waved his hand: "What county are you going to? Next time, let's strive to become a prefect or a governor!"

Then sit in the cabinet!

Gao Yu's eyes lit up: "This is good! This is good!"

In a blink of an eye, February 2nd has passed.

On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head, and according to the rules, the county also holds sacrificial activities.

However, Xu Yun didn't need to take care of this matter. Several local big families with roots here took the initiative to arrange it, and Xu Yun didn't even need to participate.

To some extent, this saves some trouble, but it also... seems to be a bit of a disregard for Xu Yun.

Zhu Qing's family is also one of the big families.

The Zhu clan leader looked at the silent Zhu Qing and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you were tougher, how could you not be the county magistrate? She is just a little girl - although she has some tricks, she is still a woman after all!"

Zhu Qing smiled bitterly: "No one can learn such a method."

The Zhu clan leader became even more annoyed: "You are just not tough enough!"

Zhu Qing straightened his face and said, "Uncle San, just listen to me. For this matter, we should ask County Magistrate Xu to be the chief sacrificer. At least, please ask County Magistrate Xu to watch the ceremony."

Now, in the eyes of the villagers, Xu Yun is more than just a little girl.

This would not give Xu Yun face. What if Xu Yun got angry? Thinking of those village heads, Zhu Qing sighed inwardly.

After all, these are his people, and he doesn't want them to be dealt with by Xu Yun.

But if they don’t listen… Zhu Qing thought, then there’s nothing he can do.

The Zhu clan leader obviously couldn't listen, so he waved his hand and sneered, "Let's talk about it later!"

Zhu Qing's bitter smile became even more intense.

Xu Yun has been very busy recently.

When she found that there were quite a few mulberry trees here, she asked someone to introduce a batch of silkworm seeds.

Then I contacted Feng Shihua.

Feng Shihua asked his shopkeeper to come over.

Those who took the silkworm seeds back would receive a purchase contract witnessed by the county government.

Basically, as long as the quality of this batch of silkworms meets the standards, they will be purchased at the market price of previous years.

In other words, the farmers have not yet raised the silkworms, but have already sold them. However, they can only get the money after they deliver the cocoons.

In this case, what do farmers have to worry about?

They swarmed over and rushed to get the silkworm seeds to raise.

But Xu Yun only prepared that much - this was determined based on the number of mulberry trees. If there were more, there wouldn't be enough to eat, and the quality wouldn't be good enough. =

For a moment, those who got the lottery tickets were overjoyed, while those who didn’t were not very happy.

Naturally, there are also people who gossip.

But Xu Yun didn't care.

It's first come first served.

The notice has been posted for more than ten days, but they still have to wait until they hear that the contract has been signed before coming. Who can I blame? !

Don’t those who believe in her deserve more benefits? !

Those who gossiped about Xu Yun and were dissatisfied in their hearts soon quieted down.

Because now more people are benefiting from it - medicinal herb seedlings, carpet weaving, advanced breeding technology, and free schooling for children at home...

Most of those who benefited were willing to speak well of Xu Yun and defend him.

After all, if Xu Yun gets angry and leaves, all these benefits will be gone!

On February 2, Xu Yun also gave himself a day off and prepared to go out for an outing.

In the south, the grass does start to grow on the second day of the second lunar month.

But here...

The snow hasn't melted yet.

Even in places where the snow had melted, no grass sprouts were seen.

Xu Yun couldn't help but pull his sheepskin coat closer, feeling a little embarrassed.

Luo Li sighed: "Winter is too long, it really delays farming work."

Gao Yu flicked his whip and grinned, "But haven't our rice seeds been soaked yet?"

Xu Yun was still unsure: "I just don't know if it will work. Can the seedlings grown in the greenhouse survive after being transplanted?"

Luo Li smiled and said, "You'll know if you try it."

As for the sacrificial activities, Xu Yun did not join in the fun - but she also silently remembered these families.

By the time the seedlings that Xu Yun had the farmers cultivate were ready for transplanting, the rice that had been sown normally had not yet sprouted.

But Xu Yun's seedlings were already taller than his fingers, and had grown a full month ahead of schedule.

Xu Yun was not in a hurry to distribute the seedlings. He only asked the farmers on his side to try it out in the fields of the county government office first.

Four days later, after making sure that most of the seedlings were alive, Xu Yun let out the word that anyone who was brave enough could exchange their own grain for the seedlings.

One pound of grain can be exchanged for about the same amount of seedlings that can be grown as one pound of grain.

There's absolutely no profit to be made, but we just want to try and see if this can increase grain production.

Xu Yun also consulted many agricultural books to come up with this method.

It consumed a lot of library points.

Now the points are almost reaching the bottom.

Xu Yun felt pained, but there was no better way.

I just hope it really works. Even if it can only increase the yield by 30-40 kg per mu of land? That will allow the family to put more rice in the porridge.

However, Xu Yun personally gave the order to replace the seedlings, saying that those who did not invite her family members to the ancestor worship ceremony on the second day of the second lunar month would not be given the seedlings.

Her meaning was so straightforward that Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, but couldn't say a word of advice - how to persuade? Advise Xu Yun to be careful not to lose face? But it seemed that Xu Yun was not the one who lost face.

Zhu Qing said nothing in the end, turned around and went to do it. He even went home to tell his third uncle about this matter.
