    The one-month agreement surprised all the disciples in Wuyue Mansion. They were curious about the amazing gift that Murphy, who had been doing nothing, could have. After Wu Yue allocated him an empty yard and dozens of servants, many of the guests wanted to go in and investigate, but unfortunately they were all blocked from the door. Even Wu Yue and Murphy had said before that they were not allowed to enter within a month. .

    As a result, people only saw that the servants purchased some strange things from outside, such as green sandalwood branches, grass ash, mulberry, etc., which were all common and cheap things. When someone asked about the use, the servants had no comment. One was that they really didn't know, and the other was that they were strictly prohibited from leaking. So in the end, outsiders didn't get any useful information. It seems that the answer can only be revealed in a few days, and everyone wants to know whether this young man is really doing nothing, or whether he has a splendid hidden inside.

    In the east courtyard, a beautiful singer was massaging Wu Yue, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, while another singer was playing a wonderful song not far away. The candle shadows flickered in the room, the gauze curtains fluttered lightly, and the dark fragrance lingered, giving it a charming color.

    Compared with other nobles, Wu Yue is very restrained in terms of enjoyment, not indulging or indulging, but as a man with high energy, normal relaxation is necessary. Unless he was in the army, he was a completely cold-hearted man at that time.

    Wu Yue has dozens of favorite concubines, most of which are singers and dancers given away by others.

    After listening to the song, Wu Yue waved his hand, and the singer who played the song silently withdrew.

    "what!"

    Wu Yue turned over and pressed the singer beside him under him, causing the other party to let out a soft cry, but soon she swayed in accordance with Wu Yue's movements.

    "His Royal Highness..." The singer couldn't help but scream with joy.

    "No, it's called 'Master'." Wu Yue corrected in a low, hoarse voice.

    The singer was stunned for a moment, and then quickly called out, "My lord."

    "..." Wu Yue seemed to say something again, the singer didn't hear it clearly, but felt that the collision was even more brutish, which made her gasp in shock...

    After a while, Wu Yue's movements suddenly stopped, he hooked the singer's chin with one hand, and saw her cheeks were beautiful, her eyes were blurred, and she couldn't say it was attractive. However, in Wu Yue's eyes full of desire, an inexplicable light flashed.

    He pulled away from the woman's body, lay on his back, didn't even look at the singer, just said lightly, "Go back!"

    The singer was stunned for a while, as if she hadn't recovered from her passion, she leaned over for a moment and whispered, "My lord..."

    With a "bang", the singer was kicked out of bed by Wu Yue, only to hear him say coldly, "Is it your name of 'Master' too? Get out of this king."

    The singer was frightened. Seeing Wu Yue like this, she was terrified and didn't dare to say a word. Although she didn't understand that he was the one who took the initiative to call him "Master" just now, why did he suddenly get angry again?

    Wu Yue didn't care about the woman who left in a hurry, just fell into deep thought. Just now, he actually regarded the singer as a floating figure. This is simply... Could it be because he hasn't seen the boy for too long? Since he made a one-month agreement, he has not seen him for more than 20 days, and even the summons have been rejected. That guy dared to challenge his tolerance, but his tolerance for him is really beyond. other people.

    What's more, he actually treats Cheng Huan's person as him, so... he really has this kind of desire for him? a man?

    Wu Yue frowned, he had never thought about a man, but his feelings for Fu Tu were so strong, just because he was a Fu Tu?

    This... can be a little tricky.

    Not to mention Wu Yue's conflict, a month will come in the blink of an eye, and on this day, all the guests have received the news that Fu Tu is finally going to "exit".

    As a result, the atmosphere in the conference hall was very strange, everyone was absent-minded, and even glanced at the door from time to time. None of them realized that they seemed to pay too much attention to that young boy...

    When the discussion was about to end, the long-awaited announcement finally came from outside the door: Mr. Futu has arrived.

    Everyone held their breaths and stared at the young man who slowly walked in from the door. He was still so elegant and indifferent. Behind him, there were three servants holding trays. It's just that the first two are small, and the last one is a long wooden box.

    "Fu Tu pays respects to the lord." Murphy saluted.

    "Don't be too polite." Wu Yue looked at him, "I haven't seen you for a month, but this king misses him very much."

    "Thank you for your concern, lord, I don't dare to take it." Mo Fei said lightly: "Fortunately, the three gifts were delivered as promised."

    Only then did Wu Yue turn his eyes to behind him: "In this way, Fu Tu will let this king open his eyes."

    Mo Fei nodded in agreement, turned to take the tray from the servant on the far right, and said to Wu Yue, "This first gift is like Xun Lanwo, and the body is like Bai Xuecheng.

    Everyone was in an uproar, "It can be inherited for a hundred years, and the future generations will be blessed." This is an exaggeration!

    Wu Yue immediately ordered someone to present the tray, and lifted the cloth to take a look. What caught his eye was a stack of neat and snow-white thin pages. If anyone from Murphy's world could recognize this thing, it would be— Paper.

    Wu Yue picked up one and looked at it carefully, then his eyes flickered, he quickly took out a pen and dipped it in ink to write, a line of strong and powerful words jumped into his eyes, which were particularly striking on the white paper.

    Everyone on both sides raised their necks to watch, and when they saw Wu Yue write on it, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

    Wu Yue hurriedly asked, "What is this?"

    "This thing is called 'paper' and is used for writing. It is thin, light, soft, tough, thin, and white. It has strong suction, anti-moth-eaten, and long life."

    Wu Yue took a breath without a trace, and with his knowledge, he quickly thought of the meaning of this thing.

    "Master, can you allow your subordinates and others to take a closer look?" Bai Limo couldn't help but speak out, and the others also agreed.

    Wu Yue then asked people to send a copy to everyone present.

    Shen Bo exclaimed: "This is really good stuff."

    Meng Quan asked, "What is the cost of this item? Is it difficult to make?"

    This question was obviously on the point, and the rest of the people listened intently.

    Murphy replied: "The cost is 70% or 80% lower than that of silk, and it is not difficult to produce in large quantities." In fact, Murphy also made a kind of hemp paper. Paper, I didn't take it out this time.

    As soon as Murphy's words came out, there was a burst of inhalation in the hall. You must know that the dissemination of knowledge in this era is inconvenient, a large part of the reason is the cumbersomeness of bamboo slips. Sometimes a document may use a truckload of bamboo slips, which takes up space for storage, and may also be moldy and insects. The defects are very obvious.

    But this paper is different. Although moth-proof or something has not been proven, it is light, soft and thin, which is easy to write and carry, which is obvious. The appearance of this thing heralds the arrival of a new era of writing.

    "From now on, bamboo slips are useless." Bai Limo sighed.

    "With such a low cost, this is a great way to make money." Meng Quan, who was in charge of finance, had a happy face.

    Then Bai Limo stood up and saluted Murphy: "This thing really deserves the praise of 'Fu Ze's descendants', I am ashamed, I was rude to Mr. at first, please forgive me."

    The rest also apologized.

    "You don't have to do this. Fu Tu admits that he has little talent, but he is just a little weird. He is not a great talent." Mo Fei would not think highly of herself because of this. These sages are proud, but they cannot be self-righteous.

    Others were even more ashamed to hear this.

    Wu Yue said at this time, "Fu Tu really gave this king a big surprise. Just this one gift won't make this king wait for a month in vain. I don't know what the other two are?"

    After hearing Wu Yue's question, everyone sat down one after another. This first ceremony was so amazing, and the other two are probably not that simple!

    Murphy didn't say much, and took the second tray from the servant: "This second gift is a book written on Futu paper, Anbang's Seven Strategies."

    Anbang's seven strategies? Everyone was stunned for a moment. It's okay to be a big name, but everyone here is a powerful person. Usually, they don't offer much advice, and Futu is only in his early twenties. What outstanding insights can you have? Originally, if it was brought up on a regular basis, people didn't feel anything at all. They just saw the appearance of paper at the beginning, so they had great expectations for the future, but they didn't want it to be just a suggestion. It was inevitable that they would be disappointed.

    Murphy didn't care about everyone's expressions. After handing the tray to Wu Yue's valet, he said slowly, "The first plan of Anbang's seven strategies is to form a temporary cabinet."

    When she first entered the mansion, Murphy seemed to have nothing to do. In fact, she was observing Rong Zhen's environment and studying the personnel structure inside and outside the mansion. Although she doesn't know much about politics, she at least knows that only a sophisticated team can achieve maximum efficiency. Most of the servants in the Fuzhong have real talents and practical learning, at least compared with modern civil servants, they have to do their best.

    It's just that the structure of Wuyue Menke is a little loose, the responsibilities are not clear enough, many tasks are repetitive, and some things need to be turned around and the efficiency is low. Therefore, Murphy's first strategy was to set up a temporary cabinet, redefine functions, and use some modern management knowledge to improve the structure of the management.

    As for why it is called a "temporary cabinet", it is because Rong Zhen is only a fief after all, and Wu Yue is only a prince, so he cannot openly form a complete official mechanism like the imperial court.

    Everyone listened to Murphy's narration one by one, and their expressions gradually changed from disapproval to cautious.

    Murphy's seven strategies are: forming a temporary cabinet and re-division of functions; reforming the land system, attracting a large number of refugees and developing agriculture by granting land and rewarding wasteland; building storage grains, not only in the territory of Rongzhen, but also in all parts of the country. Build a grain depot; recruit talents; develop business; build an intelligence network (this point Murphy did not publicly describe a lot, the key points are written in the book); improve the tax system.

    These seven points were formulated by Murphy based on the various circumstances of Rong Zhen, and also considered whether it would touch the interests of other classes. Strategies don’t need to be too much, it’s the most important thing that makes practical sense. Mo Fei was very fortunate that Wu Yue's prestige was unparalleled in Rong Zhen, and even other aristocratic wealthy businessmen would not dare to stand up to him, so as long as they didn't hurt their muscles, most of these people would not object.

    As soon as these seven strategies came out, everyone in the meeting began to discuss heatedly. Many people asked Murphy questions, and Murphy answered them one by one. This time, all of Rong Zhen's talents finally saw Mo Fei's eloquent side. Whether it was asking for advice in good faith or making things difficult for him maliciously, he could always handle it with ease.

    The handsome young man who was independent from the center was really fighting against the crowd at this moment, and his demeanor was dazzling.

    Wu Yue just watched quietly, watching...

    This discussion continued until dusk, until Wu Yue opened his mouth to stop it, and everyone who was still in the mood realized that it had been so long.

    They looked at the young man in the middle. No one despised him anymore. On the contrary, most people expressed their sincerity. Since then, no one will dare to slander him again. This one can really stand the "Shang Qing" two Character.

    "The discussion with the princes was too smooth just now, and I didn't know the passage of time. Then let Fu Tu offer this last gift here!"
