Chapter 45
The inn is filled with a thick meat fragrance, and the domineering is everywhere, drilling straight into the nose.
"dinner's ready."
The Mu family immediately rushed over with their rice bowls in their hands, their eyes lit up with excitement, and the pots of steaming braised pork were so fragrant.
There were so many people crowded into a group that Mu Wanqing couldn't help frowning, "Walk in line, don't grab it, men line up over there, women and children line this way, and if you don't line up, you won't be divided into meals."
After maintaining a good order, we started to eat, and divided into two groups in an orderly manner.
Mrs. Mu Er beat the rice, and Mu Wanqing beat the meat. She threw a spoonful of the braised pork with dried plums and vegetables on the rice. The portions were similar, and there was no difference.
One mouthful of rice and one mouthful of braised pork, everyone had a happy smile on their faces, the braised pork was soft and glutinous, and the soul was fragrant when swallowed.
"It's delicious, if only it were like this every day."
"What a beautiful thing to think about, how expensive is this meat and rice?"
"How is this braised pork made? It's so delicious."
"It should be Miss San's secret recipe, how does she know so much?"
"I heard that she likes to read books very much, and there is a golden house in the book."
Everyone's mouth was full of oil, and their goodwill towards Mu Wanqing was rising, how much energy would it have to be able to get so much meat at this time.
Mu Rongxue quietly walked away with the big bowl full of food, and Mu Wanqing glanced lightly without saying a word.
The meal is distributed to her, whether she eats it or not, and who to eat it is her business.
A little girl staggered over and hugged Mu Wanqing's leg, drooling.
Mu Wanqing looked down and saw that this child was a little unfamiliar, "Little boy, whose child are you? What's your name?"
The little girl looked greedy, "My name is Fang Yuting, beautiful sister, I want to eat meat."
Is it from the Fang family? Mu Wanqing patted the child's head and smiled slightly, "Did you sneak out?"
Here are all Mu family members who support Mu Wanqing, those who don't support her are locked in the house, and the Fang family members are also hiding in the house without showing up.
The little girl blinked her eyes, "How do you know?"
Mu Wanqing took a bowl, made a bowl of rice, half a spoonful of braised pork, poured a spoonful of gravy, and then handed the rice bowl to the little girl, "Here, take it back to eat."
The little girl's eyes lit up with joy, "Thank you pretty sister, you are so kind."
She ran away with her rice bowl in her hands, Mu Wanqing looked at her disappearing figure, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and a strange smile appeared.
Everyone ate and drank, and they were very satisfied with their stomachs.
This is life.
A clansman said cautiously, "Miss San, no, the patriarch, when will the materials be released? Our mother and son's clothes are too torn."
His name is Mu Ji, he is young, there is only one widowed mother in the family, and his life is not well-off.
Another clansman winked at him, "What are you in a hurry, there will always be, we have to believe... the patriarch."
Such a hurried questioning seemed to disbelieve Mu Wanqing, which was not good.
Mu Wanqing held her chin lazily, "There will be meat, and there will be cloth."
As soon as the words fell, mu Zicheng ran in excitedly, "sister, the fabric has been moved here."
The last thing they need is fabric.
Everyone ran out excitedly, and sure enough, a few boxes were removed from the carriage, and when the lids were opened, all the fabrics were neatly arranged.
Although it is the most common linen, it is brand new and durable.
Mu Wanqing touched the fabric and looked at the Mu clan members who were about to move, "Then let's start, eldest brother, you are in charge, Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt, please come and help together."
She intends to exercise her eldest brother, and Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt have rich experience, so she can be regarded as her confidant by standing firmly on her side this time.
The sixth uncle and the sixth aunt readily agreed, and mu Zicheng couldn't help but ask, "do you have children too?"
Everyone looked at Mu Wanqing eagerly, Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "All."
Cheers erupted from the crowd, "Miss San, you are more fair than Mu Zhongde and won't be treated differently."
Mu Zhongde is different. The advantages of having a good relationship with him are many. When ordinary clansmen encounter difficulties, he doesn't like to take care of them.
Everyone distributed happily, everyone had a share, and the scene was beaming.
Mu Wanqing did not intervene, but watched from the side.
Mu Zicheng was a little hectic at first and made a few mistakes, but then it became smooth.
Six uncles and six aunts cooperated tacitly, so the process went very fast.
Everyone took the cloth and did not go back to the house, but waited quietly. When the last person got the cloth, Mu Wanqing stood up and coughed, "I have something to announce."
"You said." The tone of the speaker was extremely respectful.
It can be said that this one meal and one meal has helped Mu Wanqing to attract a lot of hearts. As for whether it can be maintained, it depends on Mu Wanqing's methods.
"Starting tomorrow, people from the mortal clan who are over the age of seven and under the age of 20 will have an hour of training every night, both men and women."
Everyone was a little dazed, "Ah, what training?"
Mu Wanqing had already thought about it. She had to grasp both learning and ideological education, and she had to be hard on both.
Only if the clan can stand on their own and have a skill, she can save trouble as the clan leader.
"In theory and mathematics, I take classes in person and take an exam every ten days. The first place will be awarded 10 taels of silver, the second place will be awarded 5 taels, and the third place will be awarded one tael."
The crowd exploded with excitement, "Twelve taels, are you sure?"
They don't ask what rationalization is, they only have money in their minds.
Just pay for it!
Ten taels of silver, a tenth of a carriage!
"Very sure." Mu Wanqing smiled slightly. The content of the course was determined by her, so that she could carry private goods with her.
To put it bluntly, brainwash them.
Forget the older generation, the three views have been formed, the thinking is rigid, and the transformation is too difficult.
She simply abandoned this group of people and chose the next generation of young people who are active in thinking and easily influenced.
She believes that this journey is enough for her to win these young people over.
Once the young people have become her die-hard loyalists, how can the older generation struggle? It's called the bottom line.
Mu Ji grimaced, "Does everyone have to participate? I only know a few words."
The Mu clan studied and went to school for free, but they brought their own pen and paper.
The poor family cannot afford this expense.
"Yes, this is a collective activity for the young people of the Mu family, and no one can be absent."
Learning math is just a way to observe the strengths and weaknesses of these people and classify them according to different situations.
Some people are interested in business, some have talent in management, and some are sensitive to numbers, so they should cultivate in different aspects.
What she wants is not only a die-hard loyalist, but also a helper of the team.
Seeing that everyone was still talking, Mu Wanqing was a little sleepy, so she took Mrs. Mu back to her room. "Mother, I brought a lot of gifts back to pick for you."
"It's the best gift for you to come back safely." Second Mrs. Mu held her daughter's hand tightly, "However, it's a thank you gift for Fourth Miss Yu to choose."
"Okay." Mu Wanqing had no objection. Tonight was the carnival of the Mu clan, so Fourth Miss Yu avoided it and ate the meal in the house.
It's still a big set of rules, but as long as she retains a trace of kindness, it's worth spending more time on Miss Fourth.
At the door of the room, someone has been waiting for a long time, "Miss San."
Mu Wanqing waved her hand with a very free and easy manner, "Patriarch Fang, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you."
Fang Patriarch's pupils trembled slightly, is she waiting for him? "Miss San is resourceful and extremely smart, Fang Mou admired..."
Good words come as soon as they open their mouths, without repetition, as expected of a person who has been in the officialdom for many years.
Mu Wanqing didn't want to hear these useless things, so she cut to the chase, "Aren't you just testing me when you asked your little granddaughter to come over and ask for meat? My feedback has also been given, so you don't need to be too picky about some things."
The feedback is to follow her to eat, and Patriarch Fang received it, so he appeared here.
"You have been observing me all the way. You should already know my style of dealing with people. Don't go around in circles. If you have something to say, just say it directly. I'm very tired after the day."
"I'm..." Fang Patriarch took a deep breath and looked worried, "The one who came to surrender, this is the list of the Fang family, I just want to be treated equally with the Mu family."
The list was his surrender gift, but Mu Wanqing didn't take it. This old fox pretended to be the same thing, and the worried expression was not suitable for an official old fritter.
"You Fang's family is also surging in secret, and you can't completely suppress it. How can I have time to manage? Just treat it as cooperation, and help each other to finish this exile path. I'll be the master and you, wait What do you think about dismantling when you arrive in Liangcheng?"
Fang Patriarch couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. This result was what he wanted, and it was his pre-set negotiation bottom line.
He thought it would be difficult, but he didn't expect that Mu Wanqing didn't see the Fang family at all, and had no intention of taking over.
He treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and bowed deeply, "It's all up to the third lady."
Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes, thinking about it. Although she was not interested in the other party's family, she could still make arrangements in advance for a long-term plan. "Our Mu family is going to open a small class, are you interested?"
She didn't plan to be disadvantaged to the other party's family, she just wanted to cultivate a few loyal ones, it was really short of manpower.
Patriarch Fang didn't know why this so-called small class was, but he didn't dare to refuse directly, so he went to inquire first.
"This... I'll go back and ask, if the clan is interested in sorting out a list, can you see it?"
Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "Of course, it's all voluntary."
Seeing that she was not coerced, the family head Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he thought too much, and the third lady was really magnanimous.
He wanted to be bound with the Mu family, but he didn't want to bind him too deeply, for fear of being swallowed up.
Miss Mu San's methods were too clever, he asked himself that he couldn't afford to gamble on human nature.
The two talked for a long time about their future cooperation, and they listened to Mu Wanqing in everything they did. This was the only criterion.
Fang Patriarch still has the right to manage the Fang clan.
After all items were reached, the Fang family took a long sigh of relief. Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, what will Miss Third do if I don't come?"
Mu Wanqing's brows and eyes were smiling, but the words she said had a coldness, "Pull one and lift the other, divide them, and close them."
It's not that she has to intervene in the internal affairs of the Fang family, but that she needs to manage and act together.
To give the simplest example, the Mu family has a carriage and can hurry on the road. They can travel 200 kilometers a day. The Fang family can only walk on their feet, and they can walk 40 kilometers a day.
If the pace is inconsistent, it will be a hindrance. If you are no longer knowledgeable, you can only change people.
Patriarch Fang: …
As expected of Miss Mu San.
