The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"Yibai, Yunxi, you are here!"

The next day, Mu Yibai and others went to the village head's house to discuss the matter of the wine workshop. The sooner it was settled, the more at ease they would be.

"Well, we've come to discuss some matters with you regarding the wine workshop."

Fu Yunxi said bluntly.

"Come in and look at the corn in the yard. The seedlings have grown quite tall.

The quality of this seed is really good. Judging from the current growth trend, not only can it be harvested early, but the yield will also be good!"

When the village head has free time, he will stay in the yard to tend to his corn. Don't underestimate the corn seedlings in the yard. If each plant can grow a few plump corns, the yield can be equivalent to an acre of land.

"It's growing really well. I guess you've put a lot of effort into it!"

Fu Yunxi was very surprised. This was a new type of seed she developed in the space. It had not been planted outside the space yet, but the effect was very good. It grew so fast without being watered with spiritual spring water. It could be seen that this batch of seeds could indeed be saved and there would be no problem planting them in the northern part of the country.

"Haha! I just watered the plants! There's nothing else I can do. It's said that farming depends on God. The fact that these seeds can grow in the soil of Mojia Village shows that they can adapt to the environment here."

No one is more eager for the corn to grow well than the village head. Their village has a large population, but grain production has always lagged behind, mainly due to the soil environment. If this problem can be overcome, the yield will definitely increase!

"Don't worry, Lizhang. I'm sure Lianjiang County will start selling this batch of seeds on a large scale soon, and the government may even distribute them uniformly. We can plant them next season."

Fu Yunxi estimated that the county magistrate would store the seeds after the harvest and put them on the market next year. By then, every village in Lianjiang County would be able to get seeds, and the grain output of the entire county would also be increased. She speculated that the county magistrate must attach great importance to this matter. After all, grain output has always been the most basic and important prerequisite for a county's development.

"That's great. With these seeds, we don't have to worry about food next year."

However, when talking about the government, the village head suddenly remembered that the government had sent people to count the number of dilapidated houses and poor households in the past two days, and asked for reports. He then mentioned it to Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi.

Although they are neither living in dilapidated houses nor in financial difficulty, they are extremely important people in Mojia Village.

"Will every village be counted? Are there any subsequent arrangements mentioned?"

Fu Yunxi guessed that perhaps it was because she had mentioned the matter of cold winter to the county magistrate before, and he took it to heart.

"Yes, it seems that every village has counted them, but the subsequent disposal methods have not yet been explained."

This kind of thing was not something that needed to be kept secret in the surrounding villages, so the village head knew that other villages were also conducting this kind of statistics.

"They should be preparing for this winter. You see, this year is a rare famine, and natural disasters have occurred one after another. I'm sure the winter will be extremely difficult. If there is a heavy snowstorm, accompanied by extremely cold weather, I'm afraid many houses in our village will not be able to survive."

Fu Yunxi took the opportunity to sound another warning to the village head.

"Oh, the situation you described is indeed possible. There are several houses in our village that are dilapidated and inhabited by elderly people. The houses are dilapidated and no one repairs them. Even the roofs of the thatched houses leak."

There are actually quite a few houses in Mojia Village, but some of the houses are very dilapidated and are still thatched houses that cannot withstand the wind and snow at all.

"Then report all of this! Since the government has sent people to compile statistics, I believe there will be some follow-up measures. Maybe they will provide some subsidies or formulate policies to allow these families to renovate their houses."

Mu Yibai knew that Fu Yunxi had told the county magistrate about the situation this winter. The county magistrate's words and deeds fully demonstrated his feelings for the country and the people. They donated so much money, which would definitely be used to improve people's livelihood.

"Okay, I'll remind everyone to reinforce the house again."

The head of the village also attached great importance to the words of Mu Yibai and the others. No matter what, it was always a good idea to be prepared in advance.

"Well, we came here today to discuss with you the reinforcement of the factory. If the weather is bad this winter, the wine workshop will have to temporarily close, and the factory may also need to be reinforced."

Fu Yunxi explained clearly the purpose of her visit today.

“Is it serious enough to require the closure of the wine workshop?”

The head of the village looked solemn. Currently, the wine workshop was the only and largest source of income for Mojia Village. Unless it was necessary, they did not want to close it.

"If the mountains and roads are blocked by heavy snow, and the temperature drops to -40 or -50 degrees Celsius, survival will become a problem. I'm afraid no one will buy alcohol."

Fu Yunxi didn't beat around the bush with the village head. It was impossible for the wine workshop to continue operating.

"Okay, it's all up to you. We'll do whatever you say. The factory building can indeed be reinforced. It has been a granary for many years and has never been repaired."

Although the weather in the northern border is usually colder and there is occasional heavy snow, what Fu Yunxi said makes sense. If the people have trouble surviving, who would consider buying alcohol?

"Yes, that's what I think too. The factory building needs to be reinforced, at least to withstand blizzards and hail."

"Okay, I'll take care of this later. I'll find a few strong laborers from the village and it won't take long to complete."

The wine workshop is the common property of Mojia Village, and there is a large surplus in the account, so there is sufficient money to reinforce the factory building.

"We still have a batch of building materials left when we built the house. It would be a waste to throw them away. You can just arrange two people to bring them over later." Mu Yibai said, thinking of the remaining building materials from Yunhuo.

"Okay, but you can't take it for free. You have to pay from the wine workshop account."

Mu Yibai and others have made great contributions to Mojia Village, and the village head should not take this for granted.

"no problem."

This batch of building materials was the ill-gotten gains of Mr. Hong that Fu Yunxi had confiscated. The price was negotiable. When the head of the village said that they would use the money in the account, they no longer refused.

"There is one more thing. I plan to use the waste from beer making to set up a production line to produce ignition agents. The profit may not be much, but if this thing can be made, the market prospect should be good." Fu Yunxi explained the second purpose of his visit today to the village head.

"Ignition? Is this something used to ignite fire?" Li Zheng guessed.

As the name suggests, he thought so.

"Yes, it should be possible to recycle waste materials. This kind of igniter is more convenient and efficient. It can be used to ignite coal, firewood, etc. It will be very convenient, especially in winter." Fu Yunxi explained to the head of the village and respected him very much. After all, he was the head of Mojia Village.

The village head also respected Fu Yunxi's idea and did not get carried away just because Fu Yunxi counted the ownership of the wine workshop as the property of Mojia Village. He always remembered their contribution to Mojia Village.

"That's right. Now we all pick up weeds, straw or corn stalks to start the fire, because these are easy to ignite."

"Indeed, the weeds used by the people occupy a large area and are not easy to store. If we can produce ignition agents, these problems can be solved." Although Fu Yunxi has not yet put it into practice, he firmly believes that the research will be successful. There are similar technical records in the space.

"This is a great idea!" The village head expressed his full support for Fu Yunxi.
