Chapter 101

A waterwheel rose from the ground and became a beautiful scenery along the Weihe River.

The people came and walked around when they had nothing to do, and they were full of joy when they saw the spinning waterwheel.

Mu Wanqing's name also spread throughout Xiliang and became the object of countless people's love. The developer of Mu's waterwheel is a kind and kind-hearted girl.

This also led to a wave of sales in the snack street, and the business was extremely prosperous. This is a celebrity effect.

Since the waterwheels have made it easier to irrigate the fields, a wave of wasteland reclamation has arisen in Liangcheng, making the government happy.

There was a lot of wasteland before because it took too much energy to reclaim the land and lacked water. Even if you planted food, you might not have a good harvest.

But things are different now, with water, everything will be fine.

The Xiliang government ordered that no tax should be collected for the first three years of reclaiming wasteland.

Because of the cheap price, the Mu family also bought a lot of wasteland.

Second Master Mu had listened to Mu Wanqing's arrangement before, and bought 5,000 mu of wasteland to build a farm, right next to Shuimu Villa.

Mu Wanqing helped make specific plans, and suggested that wheat and rapeseed will be planted in the future, both of which can be supplied to the snack street, which saves worry and trouble.

Her Shuimu Farm will change to something new next year, instead of these two.

As for vegetables, fruits and livestock, that's all there is at the federal farm next door.

Build canals, introduce water flow, and plan them piece by piece, so that they can be revitalized.

It's just that I've already missed this year's spring ploughing, so let's rush to plant a wave of winter wheat.

Mu Erye had experience in preparing for the establishment of farms before, so he simply transferred him to manage this area, and would be responsible for these two farms together with Mu Zhong in the future.

The snack street is managed by the Mu Zicheng brothers. They have done a good job, and they can be regarded as experienced.

Mrs. Mu is in charge of the family's business. She is tired and happy, counting money every day until her hands cramp, but she is more energetic than before.

It can only be said that career is the second spring of human beings, regardless of gender.

The relocation of Fang's family was not smooth, and the other party refused to let them go.

Later, it was Sun Tongzhi who came forward to mediate, and it was only after a lot of hard work that he got people over.

The Fang family head and his family came to the snack street and were stunned when they saw the lively scene of the busy traffic from a distance.

When they were exhausted, the Mu family had already created a career? This distance is getting bigger and bigger.

Fang Dashao's envious eyes turned red, "The Mu family is really lucky to have such a monster as Mu Wanqing."

A crisp voice sounded, "Evil?"

It was Mu Wanqing, she was wearing a light blue Hu robe and her hair was tied up with a tie, which made her look very clear.

Young Master Fang was startled and put his hands together, "No no, Miss Mu, I have no other intentions, I just want to praise your ability against the sky."

"Then I like to hear it." Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "Is everything going well?"

Fang Jinghan remembered the ups and downs of these days, with mixed feelings, and his mind was uneasy, "Finally, you are willing to let us go, Miss Mu, our whole family thank you for your life-saving grace."

He knew that if he was scolded again, he would only be killed in Xiliang.

And his family, he can not protect.

His feet softened and he was about to kneel down when he was stopped by Mu Wanqing, "It's not worth saving your life, don't kneel, I don't want to lose my life."

Mu Wanqing only asked for Patriarch Fang's line by name. There were only 17 people in the Fang family, including father and son, and her family members. She couldn't manage so many others.

She looked at everyone, all with haggard faces, as if suffering from a serious illness, and it seemed that she had been tossed enough.

Two thin figures stepped forward, Yingying bowed, "Miss Mu, the lives of our sisters will be yours in the future. We are willing to serve you as bulls and horses, please accept us."

Fang Jinghan's two nieces, Fang Yulian and Fang Yurong, were not included in this room, but Mu Wanqing called them by name.

I met them on the way to exile in the past, and Mu Wanqing had a very good impression of them, Fang Yulian was down-to-earth and hardworking, and Fang Yurong did not show her inner beauty.

As for Fang Jinghan's pro-daughter Fang Yuying, she was very feudal at first, but she did a good job in organizing later.

Seeing Fang Yulian with a scar on her left face, Mu Wanqing sighed silently.

This girl would rather be broken than broken, her spirit is very valuable, she really can't bear to sit idly by.

Can save one is one.

"Patriarch Fang, then I'll accept them, do you think so?"

Fang Jinghan was overjoyed, it was the best to be by Mu Wanqing's side. She had a good character and ability, and could protect the two sisters.

"Yes, of course, Yulian Yurong, you all take good care of Miss Mu. From now on, only Miss Mu will be in your eyes, and everything will put her interests first, so don't worry about the family."

Don't say that being a maid is to humiliate them, exile sinners have no human rights, work in the fields every day, work hard, eat and wear warm, and endure a lot of unbearable things.

"Yes." The two sisters answered obediently. They were not innocent girls for a long time. They have been humiliated and matured these days.

Serving Mu Wanqing was a hundred times better than being coveted by those disgusting men, always on guard against being dragged away and ruined.

Mu Wanqing arranged for them to live in the academy.

"The number of houses here is limited, so let's live together first."

It is a brick building, with cement floors and white walls, which are clean and tidy.

The Fang family is full of joy, this is where normal people should live.

Fang Jinghan was very satisfied, "You're polite, that's fine. I heard that there isn't a single idler in your clan, so you can help us arrange it."

Mu Wanqing glanced at everyone, "Patriarch Fang and the eldest young master went to the academy to teach, and the second young master went to the kindergarten to enlighten the children. Two taels of silver a month, four sets of clothes per season, and room and board."

The Fang family's eyes lit up, which was much better than they had imagined.

"Can our children read together?"

"Okay." Mu Wanqing looked at the others, the third young master looked at her eagerly, and her eyes swept away, this guy is just an embroidered pillow and a bag of grass, he has no ability but can cause trouble.

"Snack Street needs a lot of manpower. If you want, you can apply for it."

Everyone has no opinion. Their requirements for the future are infinitely low, as long as they can survive.

The third young master was very disappointed, so he opened his mouth and called, "Teacher, I still want to study with you."

Mu Wanqing's mouth twitched, wasn't it very reluctant in the past? "I don't bring students."

"Patriarch Fang..."

Fang Jinghan cupped his hands and said respectfully, "You can just call me by my name in the future."

"Then I'll call you Uncle Fang." Mu Wanqing made a gesture of invitation with a smile, "Let's go to the classroom."

Mu Wanqing briefly introduced the situation of the academy. The Mu family academy only had classes for half a day, from 9:00 to 11:00.

In the afternoon, he went to the store to help with work, and in the evening, he would study by himself, practice calligraphy and review his homework. If Mu Wanqing was free, he would teach them a lesson.

Kindergarten is from morning to night, with lunch and lunch break in kindergarten at noon.

Mu Wanqing solemnly introduced Fang to the students. The students all knew Fang and greeted them warmly.

Mu Wanqing encouraged, "Study hard, I also expect a few Jinshi from you."

For a family to prosper, it cannot rely on one person alone, but requires the joint efforts of its children.

No matter how much money you make in business, it won't last long if you don't have a backer.

Therefore, this officialdom must be arranged, even if an official is appointed, it can protect the family.

The students were stunned, "Patriarch, can we still take imperial examinations?"

Mu Wanqing asked strangely, "Why not? Only Mu Zhongde's team can't take the imperial examination and can't be an official."

Mu Zicheng was shocked, his body sat upright, and a seed took root in his heart.

It's good to be an official, you can protect your family.

Fang Jinghan's mouth twitched. If he asked who was more unlucky than him, it would be Mu Zhongde.

All the clansmen were pardoned, but he was the only one who was pardoned, and three generations could not turn over, tsk tsk tsk.

When Mu Wanqing returned home, the courtyard was quiet, and everyone was busy with their own affairs.

She personally boiled water to make tea, but the Fang sisters wanted to help, but she declined, "Sit down, let's have a good chat."

Mu Wanqing also brought out snacks to entertain them, and the two sisters were a little overwhelmed and flattered.

She pointed to a few rooms next door, "These closed storefronts are mine. I'm too busy to open the store. I want you two to help me."

She didn't intend to let them be maids, they were overkill, so she might as well train them as shopkeepers.

The Fang sisters were stunned, "Help you open a shop? We can't do it." And they are foreign surnames, so there is no taboo?

Mu Wanqing pointed to the small snacks on the table, "The owner of Bozi Cake Shop is Yu Wanrou, you all know her, she is very capable now, she can earn several hundred taels a month, not to mention how nourishing her life is. ."

Yu Wanrou? Is that the fourth Miss Yu family who always makes rules? Isn't she the least fond of publicity? This change is too big.

Mu Wanqing motioned them to eat snacks, Fang Yurong couldn't help but pick up a bowl of cake to eat, wow, it's delicious! "Sister, eat quickly, it's really delicious, even better than dim sum in the capital."

Fang Yulian picked up the cake and put it in her mouth, eating and eating, and couldn't help crying.

Seeing her forbear crying, Mu Wanqing couldn't bear it, "Cry out, it's all right now, it's all over."

She didn't ask anything, but she could guess just by thinking about it. Even Fang Jinghan couldn't protect herself, let alone these weak girls.

Listening to the gentle voice, Fang Yulian couldn't help crying, crying so hard, as if she wanted to cry out all the pain.

Fang Yurong hugged her tightly, and the sisters hugged and cried.

I don't know how long it took, the crying finally stopped, Fang Yulian's spirit looked much better, and she was a little shy, "I'm sorry, I'm a little lost."

"Follow me in the future, every day will be a good day." Mu Wanqing pushed the cakes in front of them, "When my hot pot restaurant opens, you will be my shopkeeper and give you 10% of the profits, how about it?"

"You don't need to give money, we should do things for you."

"That's it, you have to study hard and try to take over my business as soon as possible."

In the palace, it is late at night, and the emperor is still grading the memorial. This year, there are disasters everywhere, whether it is drought or floods, and there are locust plagues in some places.

He was exhausted, worked day and night, and did not dare to slack off.

The prince sitting across from him rubbed his sore brows, and the day did not stop. "Father, it's getting late, you should rest."

The emperor didn't lift his head, "Go to sleep first, I'll watch it for a while."

The prince wanted to persuade again, but at this moment, the eunuch hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, the letter from the little general."

The emperor glanced at him, shook his head helplessly and sighed, "That kid is really long-winded. It's not a big deal to write several letters every month."

If there is any regret, in fact, I am happy, this hand stretches very quickly, "Bring it."

The Crown Prince saw through his father's thoughts for a long time and didn't say anything, "Cousin likes to write to you, indicating that he trusts you and loves you, and those he doesn't like won't take a second look."

"That child, huh?" The emperor's expression became serious.

The prince was a little worried, "What's the matter? It's not an accident, is it?"

The emperor read the letter over and over again, and after a while, he said, "He wants me to reward someone."

"Who?"

"Mu Wanqing."

The prince didn't find it strange, "What remarkable contribution has she made?"

The emperor took out the blueprint below with a very solemn expression, "She developed the Mu's waterwheel, and the Xiliang area will no longer be plagued by drought."

That girl made cement last time, and now she has made a waterwheel again, which is a little incredible.

The prince gasped in disbelief. "If it's true, then it should be rewarded, but the Mu family has no officials, so you can't put favor on your father and brother, so give me more money, right?"

The emperor frowned and threw a bomb, "He wants to make Mu Wanqing a female official."
