Chapter 203 Jinjiang Exclusive Release

"It's good to do a deal!" Chen Bing was the first one who couldn't help but speak.

Why were they planning to find Yunlu Village? It was because the supplies from the last trade had run out and they urgently needed to replenish them.

Although the extreme cold season has passed, the disasters of the new year will soon begin. If we don’t make plans to search for people as soon as possible, who knows how many people will get sick from the heat this year.

However, "A lot of supplies were consumed during the extreme cold season, and some were lost during the beast attack. Currently, the only supplies we have available for exchange are some beast meat."

At this point, Mr. Chen and the others looked embarrassed and ashamed.

They have tens of thousands of people, but they don't live as well as the one hundred or so people in Yunlu Village. They even have trouble replenishing supplies. It's shameful.

Lu Xuan had anticipated this and said with a nonchalant smile, "That's fine. This transaction is on credit, so you don't have to worry about not being able to pay."

"On credit!?" Everyone looked surprised.

In such an uncertain year, how dare they let them buy on credit?

Chen Bing, the caravan boss, couldn't help but blurt out, "Aren't you afraid that we won't be able to pay the bill?"

Lu Xuan curled his lips and said, "Of course I have a way to make you able to repay your debt. In fact, before you, I have already made the same deal with another group of disaster victims."

"In just one extremely cold season, they had escaped starvation and cold, and were now living a prosperous life with plenty of food and meat for every meal."

Everyone opened their mouths in shock.

Such a big change in just one extreme cold season?

Boss Wang couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lu, can you tell me specifically how to sell on credit?"

Lu Xuan said, "It's very simple. First, you can obtain the supplies you need from me on credit, and then grow mutant crops and use the surplus to repay your debt."

"The number of victims I mentioned was relatively small, and the supplies they needed weren't too much. Two harvests during the extreme cold season paid off our debts and still had some left over. The number of victims in Yangshan County is large, and the demand for supplies is also huge. It might take a little longer to repay the debt, but we'll be able to pay it off eventually."

Old Master Chen was delighted at first, but then he said with some difficulty, "However, the temperature in the extreme hot and cold seasons is either too high or too low, and the food harvest is limited. Apart from what we eat ourselves, there won't be much left."

Lu Xuan: "You can increase the investment in greenhouses when purchasing supplies. I can also provide plant nutrient solution as fertilizer for crops to ensure the yield."

He didn't trade the greenhouse last time because Yunlu Village didn't even have a greenhouse at that time.

The low yields of farmland in Yangshan County are largely due to the fact that there is too little wasteland in the mountains.

Lu Xuan said, "The cost of a greenhouse is quite high, and we'll need to buy a lot of air conditioners to go with it. But as long as we build the greenhouse, provide enough fertilizer, and replace it with the mutant seeds I just brought, we'll be able to harvest once every month and a half at most."

This is equivalent to eight harvests of grain a year.

If this is still not enough, unless all the victims are mutants with huge appetites...then they won't eat so much food.

Landlord Liu asked excitedly, "Do you have a way to build a greenhouse in the field?"

It’s not that there were no greenhouses in ancient times, but most of them were small in scale, only enough for the nobles to satisfy their own appetites, and very little could be taken out.

If they could grow food on a large scale, they might not have to worry about running out of food!

Although others still couldn't quite believe that such a good thing could happen, to be frank, Lu Xuan himself was not afraid of losing money, so what were they afraid of?

If you have the opportunity to obtain supplies, don’t hesitate, grab them while you can!

So everyone stopped thinking about it and directly asked how much supplies Lu Xuan could provide.

Lu Xuan said, "We have as many nutrients as you need, including nutrients like nutrients like salt, sugar, medicine, ice and heating pads, air conditioners, refrigerators, and more. We can also provide tens of thousands of kilograms of mutated grains that can be used as improved species, as well as tens of thousands of kilograms of marine life."

Chen Bing was shocked and said, "You still have sea creatures? Have you ever been to the seaside?"

Lu Xuan nodded, "Yes, I went out to sea for a while, and there are abundant supplies on the sea."

Everyone's expressions became more and more envious.

While they were still living a hard life, others were already able to go out to sea to fish!

But if you think about it, it seems understandable.

Yunlu Village has a magical flying car that can travel a thousand miles a day. Where can you not go if you want?

Lu Xuan continued, "As for the price of building a greenhouse, it depends on your needs. If we only provide a greenhouse and temperature-controlled air conditioning, the cost per acre is about 700 kilograms of mutant grain. If we add a magical tool that can automatically sow, fertilize, and water, the cost per acre will increase to 1,200 kilograms of mutant grain."

"Hiss——" Several gasps were heard in the conference room.

Miao An and Cheng Yi, who had been just listening, almost dropped their jaws in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.

This is too expensive!

The highest yield per mu of land they are currently cultivating is only 700 to 800 kilograms.

Previously, they thought that this figure was almost twice the per-acre yield in the past and was already a lot. They never thought that just building the greenhouse would bankrupt them.

Boss Zheng, Landlord Zhao and others couldn't help but frown.

If all the food was used up just to build a greenhouse, what was the point of growing it? They couldn't just be working for Lu Xuan for nothing, right?

Fortunately, before they raised any questions, Lu Xuan said, "The debt does not need to be paid off all at once. You can set a repayment period, such as paying it off within half a year, or within a year, and paying a certain percentage of the real estate each time."

Mr. Chen and the others, who were worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed an expression of "I see".

They said that Brother Lu was not such a black-hearted person who only wanted to exploit them.

With the greenhouse and the plant nutrient solution, their yield per mu will definitely increase by several percent.

If the harvest is not delayed during the extremely hot season or the extremely cold season, even if half of it is used to repay the debt each time, the remaining part plus nutritional supplements will be enough for them to eat.

Seeing their expressions relax, Lu Xuan asked, "So, do you need an automatic seeding artifact?"

"unnecessary!"

“No need!”

Several people said in unison.

Although they were indeed curious about what kind of magical artifact could automatically sow seeds and be economical, they were fleeing famine, not enjoying themselves, so how could there be anything so precious that they needed an artifact even for sowing seeds?

Mr. Miao said politely, "We have many disaster victims here. Anyone with hands and feet can plant the seeds themselves."

With an extra 500 kilograms of debt per acre, why not do with so much grain? Wouldn't it be better to exchange it for more nutrients, medicines or biological clothing?

Lu Xuan nodded indifferently: "You can decide for yourselves. Then tell us the specific size of the greenhouse, and the quantity of other necessary materials can also be determined together."

Later, he added, "Many of the prices of the materials we traded last time have been reduced to varying degrees. You can increase the order quantity based on the price."

When others heard this, they immediately asked about the latest prices and found that the prices had indeed dropped a lot. For example, the prices of refrigerators and air conditioners had dropped by more than half, and they were overjoyed.

Since they all had the idea of going out to find Lu Xuan, they had naturally counted the supplies long ago, so they quickly reported the specific quantity they needed.

As for food, it mainly consists of nutrients, followed by salt, which should be enough to last at least two months, until the next harvest.

In addition, there are also bacon, salted fish, sweet potato noodles, ordinary fruits, pickled vegetables and other agricultural and sideline products;

Ice patches, dry ice and more biosuits for the upcoming extreme hot season;

Some of the tents were damaged during the rainy season and the beast attacks, so they needed to be replaced.

Then there are miscellaneous items such as waterproof cloth and awnings.

Originally, the air conditioner had to be purchased separately, but Lu Xuan said that the air conditioner and the greenhouse were matched together, so there was no need to purchase it separately.

In addition, the most important things are medicines and cold weapons.

Even though they knew there would be no more beast attacks in the short term, the people in Yangshan County were still frightened, and everyone expressed their unanimous desire to stockpile as much weapons and medicine as possible.

Lu Xuan thought that they probably also had a fear of insufficient firepower, and he had no objection to this. He also took the initiative to take out the alloy crossbow that he had not provided last time to give them more options.

The number of people in Yangshan County is more than ten times that of the Huo family army, so the amount they ask for is naturally more exaggerated.

Two million tubes of nutritional supplements, 50,000 kilograms of salt, several thousand kilograms of sugar, 200,000 doses of medicine, thousands of biological suits, thousands of alloy bows and crossbows and various cold weapons. □□ also ordered hundreds of boxes.

There are also various seafood, 50,000 kilograms of high-quality species.

Finally, there is the heavyweight greenhouse.

There are now three mountains in the camps occupied by the disaster victims in Yangshan County. Most of the areas on these three mountains are used for living, and the rest are cultivated fields.

In order to avoid being flooded, the location is also on the mountainside, with a total area of about 5,000 acres.

If all the fields were covered with greenhouses, the debt would be... 4 million kilograms of mutant grain!

If the energy consumption of air conditioning is included, it will increase by another 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms.

After hearing this offer, everyone felt a little dizzy.

All the supplies mentioned above totaled less than two million kilograms, and the cost of just one greenhouse was over four million!?

Landlord Liu began to doubt again, "Can I really pay off all this debt?"

Lu Xuan said, "After the greenhouse is built, if the soil is fertile and water is sufficient, the yield per mu can reach at least 1,500 catties. For 5,000 mu, that's 7.5 million catties. Even if I only pay back 30% each time, it will be enough to pay it off by the third harvest."

Even if they have to purchase other supplies in the meantime, they will be able to achieve food freedom in at most half a year.

Everyone present was stunned.

1,500 kilograms per mu? Is this really a yield that humans can achieve?

Lu Xuan drank the tea slowly and raised his eyebrows.

1,500 jin is nothing. The per-mu yield of Yunlu Village has reached more than 2,000 jin.

If it weren't for sweet potatoes, cabbage, and radishes, which are truly high-yield foods, they could not be used as staple foods. The average yield per mu could even be tripled or quadrupled.

"Oh, there's one more thing." Lu Xuan took out a batch of communicators from the space.

"This is a long-distance communicator. With it, even if I'm not here in the future, you can still contact me if you need anything."

Lu Xuan told them how to use it and also gave them his contact number.

There are many good things in the system mall, but not many can be used for calls. The most useful one is this communicator.

In addition to basic voice calls, video communications and text messages are also available.

Old Master Chen touched the bracelet communicator with care and said in amazement, "There's actually a treasure like this!?"

Lu Xuan: "Do you want it?"

Everyone: "Of course!" Only a fool would not want such a good thing!

With the communicator, not only can they contact Lu Xuan in time if they encounter any problems, but they themselves, when they are occasionally busy on different hills, or even when the young people have gone out hunting and have not returned, can always know the specific movements of the other party. I don’t know how much trouble this can save!

Boss Zheng speculated, "Such a useful item must be very expensive, right?"

Lu Xuan: "Not bad, one item only requires 100 kilograms of supplies."

Others: “!” So cheap!

Lu Xuan: Actually, it can be even cheaper.

The price of the communicator in the mall is only three digits, which is cheaper than the smallest 5 cubic space.

If it weren't for the fact that long-distance communication equipment was too important to the ancients, and if being too cheap would reduce the value of the item, Lu Xuan would have planned to just give it away as a gift given their huge trading volume.

In the end, Mr. Chen and others bought a total of 100 communication devices, and their debt increased by another 10,000 pounds.

After making sure that nothing was missed, Lu Xuan took out a pen and paper and wrote down the specific list of materials, the total debt that needed to be repaid, and the repayment period. He signed a contract with everyone, and then asked them to find an open place to take out the agreed materials one by one.

Because there were too many things, he took them out while the others quickly moved them into the space. It took about half an hour to complete the handover.

At this point, the "public" transaction was completed.

Afterwards, Boss Wang, Landlord Liu and others privately traded some items they needed for their own use with Lu Xuan.

Some are necessities included in the bulk transaction, and some are additional supplies they want to enjoy, including but not limited to various fruit wines, canned fruits, preserved fruits, beef jerky, etc.

After the private transaction was completed, everyone was eager to build the greenhouse as soon as possible.

Just as they were discussing, the news about Lu Xuan's reappearance spread, and the victims from the other two mountains rushed over. Several people in charge asked these victims to notify more people and prepare to work!

Tens of thousands of people built 5,000 mu of greenhouses, with an average of ten people responsible for one acre. Except for the initial slow speed due to lack of experience and the considerable time wasted in transporting materials, the construction became faster and faster afterwards.

By evening, the 5,000 acres of greenhouses were completed.

After that, the air conditioners were installed at intervals of one for every three to five acres. Lu Xuan then taught them how to use the plant nutrient solution. The rest of the tillage and planting was the problem of the Yangshan victims themselves.

Mr. Chen and others did not buy herbicides.

As I said, Yangshan County doesn’t have much else but a lot of people, so if it’s just weeding, manual weeding is enough!

With a greenhouse, not only can planting be continued in the future, but it can also be used to relieve the discomfort caused by extreme climates during extremely cold or hot times, killing two birds with one stone!

While building the greenhouse, Mr. Chen and others also learned that Yunlu Village also had fruit orchards, mushroom houses, and lotus ponds.

The orchard and lotus pond were too luxurious for them, but the mushroom house was something they could consider.

However, Lu Xuan also told them, "Wood suitable for mushroom growth is not easy to find. I don't have any in stock. If you want to build a mushroom house, you need to find a way to collect it yourself. I am only responsible for providing highly active mutant spores."

Mr. Miao said hurriedly: "It's already very good! There are so many of us, if we brainstorm together, we can always grow some."

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "I hope that next time I come here, your place will have achieved mushroom freedom."

·

In the evening, everyone prepared a sumptuous welcoming banquet for Lu Xuan.

The ingredients include some meat harvested from beast raids, fresh wild vegetables picked in the spring, and a few freshly caught seafood.

Mr. Chen, Boss Wang and others had only eaten dried seafood before the change, and had almost never tasted fresh seafood. Today was the first time.

Garlic oysters, steamed eggs with sea urchin, salt and pepper shrimp, spicy swimming crabs, braised Spanish mackerel, cold sea cabbage, and the biggest steamed lobster you've ever seen, every dish is so delicious that you can't wait to swallow your tongue.

In the first half, everyone except Lu Xuan was so busy eating that they had no time to talk.

Only after they were eight-tenths full did they drink the ten-year-old fine wine specially provided by Lu Xuan, praising the seafood crazily while continuing to reminisce about the past.

Chen Bing drank a lot and kept talking to Lu Xuan about how hard their lives had been in the past few months. His words seemed to express regret for not choosing to leave Yunlu Village.

But after repeating it over and over again for a long time, he never said that he wanted to go with Lu Xuan this time.

Some of the concerns were due to the uncertainty of whether Yunlu Village was still willing to accept him, and also because Yangshan County was where he was born and raised. Even though they had left the county, there were still many familiar faces in the camp on the mountain.

Now that he could see with his own eyes that the future would get better and better, Chen Bing was still unwilling to leave his hometown.

At the end of the meal, Chen Yao and Chen Rui secretly found Lu Xuan and asked how Lu Chen was doing.

Lu Xuan directly told them Lu Chen's contact number and asked them to use Chen Bing's communicator to call him to reminisce about the past. By the way, he also gave them the empty conch shells accumulated in the space to play with.

When the brother and sister learned the use of the conch shell, they naturally couldn't let it go and expressed their gratitude in a crisp voice.

·

After dinner, Lu Xuan moved into the residence that Mr. Miao had helped arrange.

As the noisy atmosphere faded away, Lu Xuan finally had time to count today's gains...or should it be more accurate to say expenditure?

Mr. Chen and the others wanted to use meat to offset part of the debt, but he didn't want it.

Even though they seem to dislike meat at the moment, it is obvious that the remaining animals nearby after the beast attack cannot feed 60,000 to 70,000 people. The little meat they have is not enough for themselves to consume, so what is the point of trading?

If you really make a deal, you will regret it within a month.

Therefore, apart from the IOU, Lu Xuan's only gains today were a small amount of grain income and various gold, silver and jewelry obtained from private transactions.

The expenses for heating and air conditioning added up to 500 million yuan, and when you add in other material expenses, the account has shrunk a lot.

The audience in the live broadcast room felt as if they had spent their own money.

[I clearly came out here to make a fortune, but in the end I lost over 500 million without even seeing a single cent. My heart aches!]

[Even though I wrote an IOU, I still feel like I'm at a loss!]

[Just one gathering place costs 500 million. If the anchor moves to more places, won’t his balance be cleared? ]

[We promised to earn tens of billions to buy warships, but in the end, our wealth is dwindling. Is the streamer playing tricks?]

Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged. "Why are you in such a hurry? Haven't you heard that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry? Wait until the next time you come, and the more than 500 million you spent this time will naturally be recovered." Not only that, you can also make tens of millions more.

The second and third debt repayments were pure profits, totaling 1 billion yuan in net profit.

Invest 500 million and earn 1 billion. Isn’t a 200% profit good enough?

If he could visit several disaster relief centers of the same or even larger scale to conduct large-scale transactions of similar amounts this time, he would be able to obtain the military warships in half a year if nothing unexpected happened.

Lu Xuan opened the system mall and searched for the gray military battleship he had his eyes on for the umpteenth time. A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

·

The next morning, Lu Xuan took the initiative to ask Old Man Chen and others to bring all the injured people in the beast attack on the mountain for treatment.

Not only those with scars like Cheng Yi, but also those with partial disabilities can be brought here.

Chen Bing asked in amazement, "Can someone who's already disabled be cured?"

Lu Xuan took out the treatment device and said, "It can be treated. It may not be completely cured, but it can help them recover to a level that does not affect their daily life."

If he used a medical cabin, he would be able to recover completely, but he only had one medical cabin, and the treatment time for disability was relatively long. There were at least 800 people with varying degrees of disabilities in the entire Yangshan County.

He only has more than a month of free time, so it's impossible to cure it.

So this time he only planned to use a few treatment devices to relieve their pain as much as possible. Next time he came, if he was lucky enough to unlock the purchase rights of the medical cabin, he could get a few more devices and perhaps provide them with comprehensive treatment.

The premise is that the victims can afford the medical treatment.

As for the medical expenses this time, part of it will be borne by the victims themselves, and the rest will be recorded in the public account of Yangshan County, adding another amount to the debt.

Lu Xuan was busy helping with the treatment all morning.

The disaster victims, who had originally not had much hope, found that the scars on their bodies disappeared, and their disabled hands or legs recovered to the point where they could walk and lift objects. They were so excited that tears filled their eyes, and many of them kowtowed to Lu Xuan to express their gratitude.

Lu Xuan did not avoid them and accepted their thanks frankly.

The wound on Cheng Yi's face was not as deep as Ge Yuan's, and it recovered as before after being treated with a therapeutic device.

It was already past noon by the time the last disabled patient was cured.

The transactions that needed to be done had been completed, and all the help that could be given had been given. Lu Xuan did not stay in Yangshan County for long.

That afternoon, the aircraft took off again amid the reluctance of thousands of disaster victims in Yangshan County.

…

[Where will the anchor go next? ]

[The old customer should only be in Yangshan County, right? Do you want to randomly find a trading partner?]

Lu Xuan clicked on the aircraft's radar map and looked at the dozen or so red coordinate points on it. He said, "What's the use of random? Didn't I already mark the locations of many gathering places when I went out last time? It's not difficult to choose one among them."

[Which one do you plan to go to first? ]

【Would you like to go back to the north and take a look? 】

[Didn't you say you were going to the capital? Let's go see who the new emperor is first.]

Why not go to Jiangnan? I want to see the ancient Jiangnan water towns. The scenery must be beautiful!

Lu Xuan ignored the audience's "roll calls" and scanned a dozen coordinates, finally landing on a large gathering place in the east.

A prefectural city that is as well-preserved as Yangshan County but larger in scale.

Lu Xuan touched the coordinates of the prefectural city with his finger, "It's you."
