Chapter 431 Two-Level Reversal

"Miss Bailu, and Madam Weirui, this is a token of love from the people of Border Town. Please accept it. We will always remember what you have done for Border Town."

After Aunt Wei finished speaking, many people in the border town nodded. They had previously worked together to deal with Madam Wei Rui, and now they found that someone else had saved their lives.

But no one could say sorry, so they could only choose this method, which could be considered as an apology to Lin Ting.

Bai Lu returned to Lin Ting, and Lin Ting heard what Aunt Wei had just said.

This matter was known to all the people in the border town overnight, and the only person who had the ability to do so was Xiao Jingchuan.

He was afraid that Lin Ting would be bullied while alone in the border town, so he made the matter public so that the people in the border town would no longer make things difficult for her as Madam Weirui.

Lin Tingzou stood in front of the gate of Weirui Pavilion and said to the people outside.

"As for the water source issue, I am willing to contribute to everyone's efforts. I don't ask for anything in return. I have received all the gifts you gave me today.

I understand what everyone means. I can't finish all this food, so I'll just pick two, enough for one day. Everyone else, take it back. Don't leave it here, it will go bad."

The entire front door of Weirui Pavilion was filled with vegetables. Lin followed the different locations, took two eggs, and finally took a handful of dried shepherd's purse.

Watching Lin Ting choose, everyone hoped that Lin Ting could get the things they sent. They were sincerely grateful and felt guilty.

Lin Ting took two things, stood up, and said to the crowd outside.

“The things you sent are all very good, and I appreciate your kindness. I can’t finish the leftovers, so everyone can take them back.

You don’t need to send it to me anymore. Only when your lives are better can the border town be better.”

Bai Lu picked up the two eggs that Aunt Wei had brought and returned them to her.

"Everyone, take it back. Madam will be sad if she sees the food go bad because it's not finished."

Since autumn, it has rained in the border town, but the saying "remember the source of water when you drink it" has been engraved in the hearts of the people from our ancestors to the present.

Bai Lu arranged people along the way to take back the leftover vegetables that everyone brought. Originally, they didn't want to take them back, but Lin Ting's attitude was firm, so the people had no choice but to take the things back.

When he went out again, the way people in the border town looked at Lin Ting had changed. They were no longer hostile, but filled with guilt and avoidance.

"Madam, I'm really not used to people from Border Town suddenly acting like this."

The attitude of the people in the border town towards them changed too quickly. Bai Lu was happy for Madam. Now they only knew about the water source and reacted. If they knew that Madam was Mrs. Lin, they would be so surprised.

"It's not just you who's not used to it, I'm not used to it either."

The four words "Madam Weirui" have always been the topic of conversation among the people in the border town. Overnight, the reputation of the name has reversed dramatically, and no one would get used to it.

However, from today on, no one will deliberately make trouble for Lin Ting in the border town, and her travels will become much more convenient.

One month later!

Lin Ting received Han Yian's wedding invitation. She went to Yangcheng again and prepared to return to Beijing.

Biancheng and Yangcheng were already covered in ice and snow, which made it extremely difficult for Lin Ting to travel.

However difficult it is, it cannot defeat someone who is determined.

She was wearing a fox fur coat, and the silver fox's fur blended into the snow, making her look like an elf.

In the Yangcheng Fur Shop, in a room on the second floor, a large pot of red-hot charcoal was lit.

Aunt Jing and Bai Lu stood beside the desk. Lin Ting looked through the account book and took notes over and over again.

"Aunt Jing, since the snow began, the fox fur business has actually been even better than during the autumn harvest season. This is surprising to me."

The winter in Yangcheng is very cold. Lin Ting thought that no one would go fox hunting anymore, but unexpectedly, the number of people collecting fox furs increased.

"Yes, ma'am. It's hard for foxes to find food in winter, but it's easier for the Xiluo people to hunt, so business is booming."

There are more and more fox furs, and Lin Ting is not the only one collecting them. She deliberately leaked the recipe for deodorizing fox fur in order to attract someone to do this with her.

"The fox fur business is so good in winter. When the spring plowing season comes, we'll raise the price of fox fur by three taels of silver. If we limit the increase to a limited time, if you miss that period, the price won't be as high anymore."

Lin Ting explained the matter to Aunt Jing. She wanted to set a high price during that period to lure people in.

Besides, fox hunting can make so much money that just one month of hunting is enough to buy a year's worth of food. Who would be willing to waste time on farming?

Lin Ting couldn't guarantee that everyone would not farm, but he knew that more than half of the people would not farm and would go to the mountains to hunt foxes.

"Yes, Madam. There has been new progress on the matter you instructed me to do earlier."

After Aunt Jing finished speaking, she took out a letter from another box.

"Madam, these are the sales figures of Wushan peppers in Xiluo. Because of the transportation costs, the price of Wushan peppers is more than doubled when they arrive here.

We also have Huayan's perfume. The Xiluo people used to be mostly herders, so they had a strong body odor, so our perfume sells particularly well."

Lin Ting read these letters, which also included her proposals to the emperor. Many architects from Dongxia also came here.

Dongxia designed a new house for Xiluo, which was a change from the old architecture. The house could withstand hurricanes and would not collapse under heavy snow. It was more suitable for the people in Xiluo to live in, but it was more expensive.

But who is Lin Ting? She has conveyed this information to the hearts of all the people of Xiluo.

The reason why the Xiluo people hunt foxes so hard is because they all want to build better houses like this.

There are also horses as fast as the wind. There is a rumor in Xiro that a real man must have his own horse.

For these, they will work harder, but when the Xiluo people go to Dongxia to do business, since they are the invading party, it will naturally not be so smooth for them to do business with the invaded party.

"To be able to achieve this in just six months is already quite good. In the next two years, it would be great if more merchants from Dongxia could come here."

Aunt Jing is a smart person. Even if Lin Ting didn't tell her anything, she could probably guess what Lin Ting wanted to do.

Moreover, even if Lin Ting had the ability to do such a big thing, she would not be able to do it in such a short time. There must be an expert behind her.

"Ma'am, I have a suggestion!"

Aunt Jing has been in business and knows a lot about this.

"Aunt Jing, you say."

"If we establish a Dongxia Chamber of Commerce in Xiluo and help more merchants gain a foothold here, wouldn't it be faster to accomplish what you want to do?"

This is a good idea. Lin Ting stood up and admired Aunt Jing's business acumen.

"Aunt Jing, are you sure about the president of this chamber of commerce?"

Aunt Jing leaned slightly towards Lin Ting: "As long as there is enough money, I am sure."

"Okay, I'll pay for this."

Lin Ting handed this matter over to Aunt Jing. As long as she had three years, she would be able to control the entire Silla.

After taking care of all the matters in Biancheng and Yangcheng, Lin Ting set off back to Beijing!
