    Chapter 155

    Mu Wanqing took over the food street, but did not rush to rectify it.

    She had to make an overall plan first, and the employees of those stores had to be properly arranged.

    In fact, there has been a problem of insufficient supply of ingredients in the food street. In the winter, ingredients are scarce, and they have not been stocked in advance.

    Mu Wanqing was silent as she saw that several stores could not open without food ingredients, she finally understood why Jin Yulang lost money in everything he did.

    They saw that her business was simple and smooth, but they couldn't see the hard work behind her.

    Of course, there is also a possibility that Jin Yulang and the others don't have that much money to stock up.

    She quickly transferred some ingredients from the farm, and transferred her second brother, mu Ziang, to manage this food street. He has corresponding experience.

    He also picked out a few students from the academy to start and gain experience.

    Let's talk about everything after the new year.

    Mu Wanqing called Guo Er, who had been staying in Liangcheng, with all his heart on winning the cotton business.

    This is also the meaning of the family, let him catch Mu Wanqing's line and hold on tightly.

    Mu Wanqing became the county head by donating cotton, and she has long been famous all over the world. Many businessmen are inquiring about her whereabouts, and they are coming from all directions.

    Who doesn't want to get a head start?

    Hearing that Mu Wanqing invited him, he was immediately shocked and rushed over.

    However, what Mu Wanqing said surprised him. It wasn't that he signed a related cotton agreement with him.

    "You mean, let our Guo family come to Liangcheng to do business?"

    Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Yes, it's just starting now, the preferential policies are the most, and Liangcheng is run by me, everything will be prosperous."

    To engage in construction, her family is too tired, it is time to introduce other funds, it is spring when a hundred flowers bloom.

    Guo Er knew that she was very capable, but this suggestion was too unexpected, "But, you are not an official."

    He doesn't look down on Liangcheng, the business is barren, and the consumption level of the people is not high. What kind of flowers can he make?

    Mu Wanqing took out the blueprint, "Look at it, Du Shuai has already handed over this area to me, so I can have a preliminary plan..."

    She briefly stated the future blueprint of this piece, and the novelty and grandeur of the vision surprised Guo Er.

    supermarket? department store? A street for souvenirs? Sounds very promising.

    As a businessman, he naturally understood the huge business opportunities brought by this plan.

    The only question is, "Do the people of Liangcheng have the spending power?"

    If you spend money on investment and no one consumes it, that's a joke.

    Mu Wanqing was confident, "With cotton, this place will become a cotton trading center. Not only businessmen from all over the country will come here, but also the inflow of people. This is all predictable."

    The construction cannot be completed in one or two years, and the layout in advance is necessary.

    Cotton will become a pillar industry for sustainable development, and it will also be the livelihood of countless people in the Xiliang area.

    Guo Erzhi believed very much in Mu Wanqing's talent in business. When she was still in exile, she played around with Boss Pan and took a lot of money from them.

    So far, Boss Pan is still in the dark.

    "Why did Shuai Du leave this piece to you?"

    Mu Wanqing's expression became subtle, "You can think it's an assessment."

    Yes, it's a test.

    Ming Li said that he believed that she could bring about different changes. In fact, it was a kind of assessment for her.

    To put it bluntly, this street is a touchstone. If passed, Du Shuai will find a way to help her win an official position and let her enter the bureaucratic system of Xiliang.

    It depends on whether her ability is strong enough, whether her interests are large enough, and whether it is worth his risk of fighting for it.

    The superiors like them are sober and calm enough, appreciation is one thing, and interests are another.

    Humanity alone is useless.

    Therefore, she has to do it well, and let the top officials of Xiliang see her strengths. She not only can make money, but also has unique ideas on people's livelihood management.

    What she wants is not only to become an official in the dynasty, but also to become a high-ranking official and strive for a greater right to speak.

    She is now the county head of the third rank, so the target for herself is the second rank high official.

    What kind of concept is a second-grade high official? Simply put, the six official books of the court are the second-grade official. The highest local officials are both commanders and political envoys, and they are also second-rank.

    Further up is the cabinet, commonly known as the old cabinet, the person who stands at the pinnacle of imperial power.

    Although Mu Wanqing didn't say it clearly, Guo Er was not stupid and didn't ask any more questions, "That's ok, I'll fix a book for my family and ask them to send a caravan over here."

    For this cotton business, it is worth investing in advance.

    Why don't you take down a few stores to start a small business and sell Jiangnan's local specialties?

    Supermarkets and department stores are new things, and he dare not try them easily.

    Mu Wanqing was not in a hurry, she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. "Look, is Boss Pan available?"

    The corner of Guo Er's mouth twitched, "I think it's okay, but his ambition is not small."

    Boss Pan, relying on the tea brick recipes given by Mu Wanqing, made a lot of money. He has established his own business and no longer helps the official brother-in-law.

    "I'm only afraid that he has no ambition." Mu Wanqing could fool him once, and naturally he could fool him twice.

    "I said hello to relatives and friends I knew and persuaded them to come and develop."

    "Okay, as much as you can come. Next year's cotton business will depend on everyone."

    Guo Er's eyes lit up, and the emperor had said good cotton, but he hasn't seen it yet.

    He had only seen wool products. This was a brand new way to make money. It was created by Mu Wanqing. He was really convinced.

    He has already taken a batch of goods and sent them to Jiangnan to test the water.

    "Is there a lot of people here?"

    "I don't only have cotton business. Cotton is a treasure, and there are too many available..." Mu Wanqing smiled mysteriously, "Keep it a secret for now."

    The more she is like this, the more Guo Er's heart is itching, ah ah ah, really want to know.

    After dealing with the affairs in the city, Mu Wanqing took Mu Nannan's mother and daughter back to the farm.

    Along the way, Mu Nannan's mother and daughter were worried and looked haggard.

    It was only then that Mu Wanqing remembered, she took out the Geng Tie from the box on one side and handed it to Mu Nannan, "Take it."

    Concubine Qian was stunned for a moment, then grabbed it and wept with joy after confirming that it was correct.

    Thank goodness, finally got it back.

    "Thank you, Miss Wanqing."

    Mu Wanqing said softly, "Don't be afraid, there is no physical evidence, even if there are some rumors, not many people believe them."

    A big stone in Mu Nannan's heart was removed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Yes, without Geng Tie, there is no way to make things solid.

    Even if someone believes it, it doesn't matter, and they don't deal with it.

    "I've caused you trouble this time. I'll take care of the errand and share your worries in the future."

    Mu Wanqing likes this attitude, "I'll wait, I'll be very busy after the year, you help me take care of the boarding school."

    "it is good."

    It was the first time for Mu Nannan and her daughter to come to Shuimu Farm, and they were stunned to see the endless wall from a distance.

    "How big is this?"

    "Twenty-one thousand acres of land, including two barren hills." Mu Wanqing planned to plant fruit trees on the hills in spring.

    Mu Nannan was stunned, no wonder it was so spectacular.

    This is just the beginning, and once you enter the farm, you won't be able to see it.

    Every piece of planning is neat and tidy, and the main road is paved with cement, which is very flat.

    Several huge waterwheels stand by the river, turning tirelessly.

    There are rows of brick and tile houses by the river, which are neat and tidy, and are where the farmers live.

    Mu Wanqing took them around on purpose. To the southeast was the workshop area, where many houses were built.

    "There are two workshops here, and there will be more and more later. These buildings are for the people of the workshops to live in."

    The northeast corner is the boarding school. This time, Mu Wanqing stopped the carriage and took them in to visit.

    The bright and spacious classrooms are full of children, all of them are concentrating on class.

    Mu Wanqing invited an old boy who had failed many tests. For the time being, she only needed to be taught how to read and write.

    I also invited several female masters to teach some basic life skills and survival skills, such as combing hair, washing clothes, eating and sleeping, and so on.

    Many children wander outside, do not understand anything, and have to start from scratch.

    At that time, the students of the academy will be assigned to take turns to come to the class, and while teaching, they will help Mu Wanqing.

    "You can teach math, teach Arabic numerals, the nine-nine multiplication table and simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division."

    As long as the students in the academy can do it, Mu Nannan is no exception, "Okay, I'll teach them now. My mother will know how to make shoes. Would you like to teach them as well?"

    "Yes, this is also a basic skill. You don't need to be proficient, but you must know it." Mu Wanqing said that it is always better to learn more skills than to overwhelm them. "Aunt Qian, I will also pay you a salary."

    Concubine Qian happily agreed, but she never thought that one day she would also be a female master.

    Mu Wanqing did not disturb the children, and took Mu Nannan and her daughter to visit, everything was complete.

    When visiting the dormitory building, Mu Nannan pondered, "Sister Wanqing, just allocate a dormitory for our mother and daughter, we will live here in the future."

    Mu Wanqing persuaded softly, "The room in the main courtyard is quite empty, so let's go to the main courtyard."

    The conditions here are neither bad nor good.

    Mu Nannan still felt more at ease here, "No, it's convenient here, and I don't want to run over in the cold wind every morning."

    Mu Wanqing thought about it too, it would take two incense sticks for the main courtyard to get here by carriage.

    No way, this farm is too big.

    Mu Wanqing took people to the office building. The first floor was the office building, and the second floor was the dormitory for the master to live in.

    It is divided into two areas, the left side is where the male master lives, and the right side is where the female master lives, separated in the middle.

    They are all suite designs, one bedroom, one study, one living room and bathroom, all furniture, and you can live in when you move in.

    "That's fine, you can choose for yourself. Usually, there are handymen to clean the house and go to the cafeteria to eat. If you are not used to eating, let someone open a small stove, and the money will go to my private account."

    "That's not necessary, we still have the money." After Mu Nannan came here, the whole person relaxed, and there was no tension before.

    The mother and daughter both have to attend classes, so they have separate sets and are next to each other, so that they can take care of each other and have a private space.

    The two stayed for a few days and quickly adapted to life here.

    Mu Nannan is a very caring and responsible girl. She takes good care of the children and quickly won the children's love.

    Before, Mu Nannan was very careful for fear of doing something wrong. But here, no one knows her past and will not look at her differently.

    The children will happily call her Teacher Nan Nan, if you treat them well, they will treat you well, it's simple.

    Mu Wanqing didn't leave it alone, she would come to two ideological and moral classes every week and chat with the children.

    Mu Wanqing had to keep an eye on the workshop while arranging all the affairs of the farm.

    The military ration workshop is completely on the right track, and the production volume of the wool workshop has also increased, but each batch is sold out, and the supply is still in short supply.

    When spring comes, we have to recruit people.

    In her busy schedule, Mu Wanqing is still tinkering with new farm implements, picking good seeds, and preparing for next year.

    As the year draws to a close, Mu Wanqing has finally finished her busy schedule, so she can take a breath and think about a good year.

    As a result, something happened again.

    Second Master Mu brought the guests in, "Qing'er, the young marshal is here."

    Du Shaoxuan smiled and brought great news, "Wan Qing, I brought you a royal craftsman who makes mirrors."

    As soon as the person arrived, he immediately sent the person to Shuimu Farm. He knew that Mu Wanqing was looking forward to it.

    There were several haggard-looking men behind him, all listless, with drooping eyebrows and unwillingness.

    They are all craftsmen who serve the royal family. Although their status is not high, they are more secure than others.

    As a result, a decree came down, ordering them to go to the main mansion of Qingping County in Xiliang...

    Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up, as if she saw countless silver coins waving at her.
