    Chapter 171

    Shangguan took office three fires, and everyone was watching where her first fire burned.

    However, Mu Wanqing was not in a hurry and stood calmly at the door of a room, "Go and bring some furniture in my study."

    Instead of using Du Shuai and Du Shaoxuan's offices, she found a warehouse as her office.

    She had someone clean it. The tables and chairs inside were old and uncomfortable to sit on. However, the room faces south and the space is quite large.

    The two acquaintances stood by and watched her toss, having money is self-willed.

    After a while, the office looked brand new, with the entire set of pear-flower wood desk chairs placed in the middle, and the four treasures of the study placed on the desk, each of which is a fine product.

    A screen separates a private rest space, and a double sofa is placed. The bright yellow fabric embellishes the slightly dull space.

    In the beginning of spring, picked a bunch of flowers and put them in a vase in the garden, and the interior immediately became a little more warm.

    Mu Wanqing pointed to the position by the window, "Put a hot kang by the window, and sit on it to work in winter."

    She has money in her hand, and she is not a person who is harsh on herself. She can come wherever she is comfortable.

    "Yes."

    Mu Wanqing invited the two to come in for afternoon tea, iced watermelon juice, lotus cake, lobster roll, vegetable scones and salted chicken.

    Salty or sweet, there is always a dish for you.

    The two acquaintances looked at each other and walked in one after the other.

    Jiang Tongzhi felt different as soon as he sat down, "Why are your desks and chairs so comfortable?"

    "Customized according to ergonomics, adjust the height to the most comfortable position." Mu Wanqing poured them two glasses of watermelon juice, "Try the watermelon juice produced by my farm."

    Jiang Tongzhi picked up the cup and took a sip. It was cool and sweet, and he couldn't help taking a sip.

    "It's so good, let's have another drink."

    Sun Tongzhi, however, was not so casual and thoughtful, "County Lord, what are you going to do?"

    Mu Wanqing looked over, "How much money is there on the account?"

    Sun Tongzhi's eyes lit up and he just waited for this sentence.

    He silently handed over the account book, and Mu Wanqing took a look and saw that the good guy was unable to make ends meet and owed a sum of money.

    This money is still subsidized by the Du family.

    There is no way, war is the most expensive, and money is needed everywhere.

    This is still under the circumstance that she has swept most of the military supplies. It can only be said that Xiliang is poor, and the government is poor!

    "This month's official salary can't be released, county head, look..." Sun Tongzhi looked at her eagerly. The government has no money, but she has money.

    Mu Wanqing could see his thoughts at a glance, but she didn't mean to pay.

    Don't be kidding, she didn't open the court, so why let her subsidize it?

    "Hold on, don't even think about it, I'm not here to fill the hole." She donated two million silver and temporarily put in military rations and supplies.

    "It's not appropriate, you think. I paid the officials' salaries. So are these people considered officials of the court? Or are they my personal? It's too much, it's not good for Xiliang or me."

    As soon as these words came out, Sun Tongzhi couldn't say it anymore, and it was inappropriate to say anything.

    However, this is an urgent problem that needs to be solved now.

    If you don't get paid, there will be chaos.

    "They have five thousand taels of silver in their hands, and they don't expect these salaries, but the officials below have to think of a way."

    There were only a dozen or so people in the meeting, all of whom were officials of the Dusifu.

    The officials below are not eligible to participate. This group of people is huge, and they all need to support their families.

    After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, "If it really doesn't work, just use my money first."

    Mu Wanqing was a little surprised. His consciousness was quite high, and he truly loved Xiliang.

    She tapped on the table and rolled her eyes, "Why don't you invite the rich businessmen in the city to a banquet and let these people raise money."

    This trick is not unusual, it is used every year.

    Jiang Tongzhi frowned, "Most of the wealthy businessmen have fled the city."

    These timid guys fled impatiently before they reached Liangcheng Gate.

    "People have run away, but the house and fields are still there." Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, she checked, those people were running too fast, and they didn't have time to deal with the property.

    Besides, who would dare to take over at such a time?

    She has already thought of countermeasures, "Well, let's put up a notice saying that the government can't bear their houses and fields to be vacant and abandoned, so we will temporarily manage them for them, and they can come to the government to get the property back when they come back, of course, the premise is to pay management fee."

    The two on the opposite side were stunned, with a look of doubt about life.

    tmd is absolutely amazing, she is also a human being, why is she so beautiful?

    He is obviously a hooligan, but he is packaged as a good man for the sake of wealthy businessmen. He is righteous and full of reason.

    Mu Wanqing looked very calm, "It's fine if you don't come back. When you come back, let them pay half of the market price of the property as a management fee."

    half? Jiang Tongzhi's mouth twitched. He finally understood that Mu Wanqing was so good at making money. Look at her, this brain is so good, she has to thank her for making him a dog.

    "Can this work?"

    She is actually more shameless than these ruffians! learn, learn!

    Mu Wanqing asked strangely, "Why not? We have good intentions."

    It makes sense, and there is absolutely no way to refute it.

    Sun Tongzhi was shocked. If a new world was opened up, they were too honest compared to Mu Wanqing. "But, they left the butler behind."

    "It's just that the housekeeper escaped, and we have to take over the matter." Mu Wanqing didn't even blink her eyes, she made up a reason casually, and said, "The registration work will be handed over to Sun Tongzhi, no problem, right?"

    "No." As soon as Sun Tongzhi thought that he would earn money by taking these assets, he immediately became more energetic as if he had been beaten by chicken blood.

    As for arm wrestling with Mu Wanqing? Forget it, who can play her.

    Just for her inherent shamelessness, no one is her opponent.

    Mu Wanqing smiled sweetly, "Jiang Tongzhi, I'll leave you to entertain the rich businessmen in the city."

    Jiang Tongzhi could only look up to her, and did not dare to underestimate her. "Okay, I'll arrange it, and you will host it then."

    It was so happily settled.

    When the two acquaintances walked out of the office, their expressions were particularly wonderful.

    The officials who had been observing secretly approached quietly, "What is this important discussion about? Do you need help?"

    Jiang Tongzhi's eyes lit up and hooked his subordinate's neck, "I need it so much, let's go together."

    Sure enough, as soon as the announcement came out, the city exploded.

    The people really think that the government is too good, and they think too much about the rich businessmen, but, are those people worthy?

    The wealthy businessman who didn't run away was shocked by this move, and have to say, the government is brilliant!

    It is not ordinary to make people dumb to eat Coptis chinensis.

    So, as soon as they heard that they were invited to a banquet, the wealthy businessmen hurriedly responded, rushed to each other's door, and discussed some blood.

    When Du Shuai received the news, he was drinking bitter medicine, and stopped abruptly, looking at the eldest daughter who came to report the letter in astonishment.

    "Husband, drink it quickly, the imperial doctor said to drink it while it's still hot." Madam Du only had her husband in her eyes, urging softly, holding a small plate of candied fruit in her hand.

    Du Shuai drank the medicine in one gulp, and Mrs. Du took out the handkerchief to wipe the medicine stains off his mouth, and then put the candied fruit into his mouth, serving him meticulously.

    Miss Du's eyes filled with admiration, "Mu Wanqing is truly a rare genius. Her thoughts and thoughts are strange, but she can receive unexpected and miraculous effects."

    A single notice solves a big problem, and also plays the role of killing chickens and warning monkeys.

    "Father, your decision this time was too wise."

    Although Du Shuai pushed the person to that position, whether he could sit still or not depended on Mu Wanqing's methods.

    Obviously, Mu Wanqing passed this level easily, which was the difference in IQ.

    Mrs. Du frowned, with a displeased look on her face.

    It's too outrageous to let a woman temporarily take the post of chief. This is the right of the Du family.

    However, this was Du Shuai's decision, and she didn't dare to say another word.

    "Xiner, don't learn from her, that's not the right way for women."

    Miss Du was silent, "How can I have that ability."

    Although this is a real mother, it is a fact that she was born from a low background and has limited vision due to her status.

    It's not easy to be a daughter when it comes to talking about his own mother. The father is busy with official business and rarely comes home, so he can't take care of his wife and children.

    That's all, anyway, let's raise it with my father.

    "The foundation of morality is the righteousness of the heart. The righteousness of the heart is followed by the righteousness of the body. The head of Qingping County has a righteous mind and a righteous body, and what he walks is the righteous path, the great road." Note (1)

    Mrs. Du's face changed greatly, "Husband." This is speaking for Mu Wanqing!

    These days, she has clearly noticed the change in her husband, and her attitude towards her has also changed. She is puzzled and aggrieved.

    She didn't know what happened, and Du Shuai issued a gag order.

    Du Shuai sighed silently, "Don't arbitrarily comment on Qingping County Head in the future, that's not someone you can say."

    He taught his son in front of others, and taught his wife after others, but he didn't do it well.

    Mrs. Du was even more aggrieved, "She is the county head of Zhengsanpin, and I'm still Mrs. Yipin. She is a junior, and I am an elder. Why can't I say it?"

    "Her virtue is affirmed by the people and praised by the king." Du Shuai rubbed his eyebrows, "We have to be on the same side as the king."

    Madam Du was stunned, can't you say that Mu Wanqing is not good? "Hey, she doesn't fit my temper anyway."

    They were not all the way.

    She relies on her parents at home, her husband when she gets married, and her son in the future.

    As for Mu Wanqing, she was relying on herself, and many people had to rely on her.

    She is the spiritual pillar of many people.

    Since Mu Wanqing went to the Dusi Mansion, the biggest change was that there were more men who joined her.

    She was dazzled by all the strange ways of approaching her. It was a basic operation to drop jade pendants and money in front of her, and there was also a little white face who was buried in her father's life and begged her for help, willing to serve her like a bull and a horse.

    There were too many men to count on her.

    Heck, the bloody charm of money.

    She solved the financial difficulties, but soon, a second problem arose.

    On this day, Mu Wanqing ate a sumptuous lunch, and held a brief afternoon meeting with the two acquaintances to exchange news.

    This has become a habit.

    Mu Wanqing was very generous, and every time someone brought three lunch boxes over.

    Pan-fried pork ribs, homemade tofu, fresh fish and sheep, stir-fried vegetables, two meat and two vegetarians, simple, but comfortable to eat.

    The three of them ate together, got in touch with each other, and got along very well.

    Jiang Tongzhi especially likes Mu's dishes, "This fish and sheep is very appetizing, can I have another meal tomorrow?"

    "Okay." Mu Wanqing would not refuse such a trivial matter.

    Just after dinner, the clerk came over to report, "County Lord, Madam Du is here."

    Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, yes, the person hiding in the dark finally made a move!

    "Why is my mother-in-law here? She has never been to the Dusifu." Jiang Tongzhi's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of something, "Could it be for..."
