"Madam, you're back?"
"How is it? Have you dealt with those invading Japanese pirates?"
Upon returning to the county government office, Huang Dehai immediately led his men to greet him.
Now, Lin Xue is in the Huang family, and in the hearts of all the people in Yuhai County, her status is no lower than that of the county magistrate.
Even though Huang Dehai is now the real person in charge of Yuhai County, he still doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Lin Xue.
His mother's gaze was like a sharp blade every day, fearing that he would do something wrong and incur Lin Xue's dislike.
His father, Huang Yousheng, even pulled him aside to give him stern warnings on several occasions.
"Third brother, although you are the magistrate of Yuhai County, we both know how Yuhai County developed!"
"You absolutely mustn't do anything that would betray your third daughter-in-law. If you dare to take a concubine or marry someone else, do you believe that with your third daughter-in-law's temper, she'd divorce you in a heartbeat and find ten or eight more young and handsome men!"
"It's not that the third son's wife can't live without us now, but that our Huang family can't live without the support of the third son's wife!"
"If you dare to play any tricks, not only will your third daughter-in-law not let you off the hook, but your mother and I will break both your legs!"
"No, interrupt all three at once!"
In order to save his three legs, Huang Dehai had to silently recite the male virtue precepts set by his parents several times a day.
Compared to other officials who had multiple wives and concubines, Huang Dehai didn't even dare to glance at other women.
Although outsiders might find such a life somewhat stifling, Huang Dehai himself was quite content with it.
He already liked the original owner of the body, and now that Lin Xue has such abilities, he likes her even more.
Although there's a hint of him living off a woman, Huang Dehai says that living off a woman is really delicious!
Life in Yuhai County continued as usual, and trade became more and more frequent.
After more than a year of preparation, Yuhai County has now found partners in 13 prefectures and signed distribution contracts!
In addition to various chili sauces, Yuhai County now offers a wider range of specialty products, including salted duck eggs, preserved eggs, and more diverse canned seafood, shellfish, kelp, dried kelp, jellyfish, salted wakame seaweed, cured duck, spicy whole chicken, spicy rabbit head, spicy rabbit meat, and spicy rabbit cubes...
In short, these products spurred the emergence of many manufacturers.
Even the Zhang and Liu families each manage a food factory!
More importantly, she encouraged local people to start their own businesses. In the early stages, Lin Xue even set up a training class to provide specialized training for the people of Yuhai County who came to sign up.
Only qualified personnel are eligible to build a factory, and Lin Xue and her team have always maintained strict control over food safety.
For the first two years, Lin Xue mostly put her own money into it. Only in the third year did she slowly start to recoup the money she had spent.
At the same time, Lin Xue and Huang Dehai also began to worry. In the past, Yuhai County was a poor and backward place, and no one wanted to come here to serve as an official.
But now that Yuhai County is developing better and better, won't someone want to take a piece of this pie?
What if the emperor sends a new magistrate to take over Yuhai County and then transfers them to some godforsaken place?
It's important to understand that without the food supplies from the forest and snow space, the entire Yuhai County would not have been able to develop at all.
If the imperial court were to use Yuhai County as a model and apply the technology from the cement brick and tile factory to other places with improvements, it could certainly stimulate the economic development of those areas.
Although this requires a significant investment of money!
But what I fear most is that the emperor might become senile.
At that time, all the achievements that Lin Xue and Huang Dehai had worked so hard to accomplish would be erased, and all the credit would go to outsiders. This was the last thing Lin Xue and Huang Dehai wanted to see.
So, at Lin Xue's suggestion, Huang Dehai wrote another memorial to the old emperor, explaining that Yuhai County had escaped poverty.
It's normal for some people to covet, but if the emperor wants to erase their achievements, that's impossible!
Lin Xue didn't want to live like this for another three years; it was just too exhausting!
"bite!"
"Host, your side quest is complete. Would you like to claim your reward now?"
The day after eliminating the Japanese pirates, Lin Xue was sitting on a recliner in the back office, admiring the flowers and plants in the garden, when she heard the long-lost voice of the system.
"It's finally finished! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"
Upon hearing the sound of 629, Lin Xue sat up straight in an instant.
She's already decided what kind of flying artifact she wants, and she's just waiting to complete the mission so she can start stating her conditions!
"Host, what kind of flying artifact do you want? Any shape is fine!"
The system seemed to be affected by Lin Xue's mood, and its voice also became cheerful.
"I want a flying artifact that can change its form at will. Depending on my needs, it can be a boat, a motorcycle, a car, or even a house or a cloud!"
After stating her requirements, Lin Xue looked expectantly at the white cloud in the sky, her gaze seemingly piercing through space to fall upon the system.
"Host, your request..."
The system is really talking nonsense. It said that the host can choose the appearance of the flying artifact, but that doesn't mean the host can change the appearance of the flying artifact at will!
"629, I'm counting on you for this!"
"You can cut a few forms if you really can't, but the bird, boat, and car forms must be kept for me!"
Lin Xue also knew that 72 transformations were impossible, and even 36 transformations wouldn't be enough to preserve it.
However, a smaller amount should still be acceptable. After all, with 629's abilities, if she couldn't handle this little thing, what use would she have for it?
"Okay, I'll go and talk to them!"
Actually, as Lin Xue said, there are indeed flying magical artifacts that can change their appearance at will, but it requires some special connections to apply for one.
"Ding! I've already spoken with the people above. If the host is willing to pay 500 merit points, they can accept your proposal. This flying artifact can transform into any form at will according to the host's wishes!"
For the systems, merit points are a very important form of currency.
It can not only be used to buy things, but it is also very valuable.
People or things that possess great merit will be favored by Heaven, and wherever they go, they will have better luck than others.
It is bound to so many hosts, but not every host can earn merit points, nor can every world generate merit point income.
It's fair to say that all the other hosts combined didn't earn as much as Lin Xue did for it.
That's why 629 has considered more than once whether to terminate the contract with other hosts and let them find a new system to bind to.
As long as he serves Lin Xue well, he will earn more than enough!
