"We've reached our limit now. You know, a month ago, I sent another thousand people to mine and make honeycomb briquettes. So far, the number of people making honeycomb briquettes has reached 2,000. The open space in front of my house has become a honeycomb briquette manufacturing base. The amount of honeycomb briquettes produced every day is as high as 100 million pieces. You can imagine that this is a huge number."

Xie Ruiyuan knew that Li Mengyue was not lying, but the amount of honeycomb coal produced was huge and the amount consumed was incalculable.

"Xie Ruiyuan, listen to me. Extreme cold weather is inevitable in the north. I still have a lot of cotton-padded clothes here. Please have them delivered to the various prefectures in the north and sell them at low prices. This will ensure that every citizen has a cotton-padded coat to wear."

"Don't worry about honeycomb briquettes. They're produced daily and then shipped to various locations by merchants. You don't need to worry about that."

Hearing Li Mengyue talking about merchants, Xie Ruiyuan remembered that Xinghua Village had united six villages to build a large market, which was indeed very impressive and attracted many merchants.

In particular, after merchants learned about the benefits of honeycomb coal, they rushed to purchase it and transported it to various places for sale.

However, Li Mengyue will not cooperate with every businessman. Instead, she will screen them and only select one agent in each city. The agent will pay a certain amount of deposit based on the size of the city and then they can cooperate.

The amount of the deposit varies, with the lowest being one thousand taels and the highest reaching over ten thousand taels.

Li Mengyue collected hundreds of thousands of taels of silver as a deposit alone, which made him admire Li Mengyue's ability to make money.

"But I have a concern now. It's not enough for the people to have only cotton clothes and honeycomb cotton. They also need quilts. They can't sleep in cotton clothes and burn honeycomb coal day and night. The amount of coal consumed is not something ordinary people can afford, even if I sell it at a low price."

When Li Mengyue said this, Xie Ruiyuan's eyes lit up. He knew that this was not what Li Mengyue meant.

Since Li Mengyue mentioned the quilt, it means that Li Mengyue has a quilt in her hand.

"Ayue, do you have a quilt?"

"Well, how many?"

"The number of quilts is slightly smaller, only 30 million."

"How many?"

"Thirty million pieces. I know it's not a lot, but you also know that quilts contain much more cotton than cotton-padded jackets. I'm quite proud to have been able to get thirty million pieces of cotton-padded jackets."

"Ayue, I don't think it's too little. I mean you have any concerns."

"Xie Ruiyuan, you know how low the cotton production is in the Great Zhou. If I take out so many cotton-padded clothes and quilts at once, won't it attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives?"

"Ayue, you have a very inaccurate understanding of yourself. Since you came to Xinghua Village, everything you have done is not something an ordinary girl can do. You have already been noticed. You don't have too much psychological burden."

"What? If you say so, then my situation is very dangerous, isn't it?"

"Ayue, don't worry, I will protect you and the child."

"Which eye of yours saw that I was worried? I was just expressing my surprise. If you put it that way, wouldn't I become the object of many people's fight?"

"What are you thinking? You belong to me alone. There's no way you could be involved with another man."
