Chapter 180
Boss Pan couldn't help staring at Mu Wanqing, and cried out, "You... are you little brother Mu?"
That smart and eccentric little brother, he always remembered that the technology of tea bricks was given by little brother Mu.
However, he is obviously a boy, and his origins are mysterious.
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "Boss Pan, long time no see."
"Plop." With a sound, the cup in Boss Pan's hand fell to the ground, his face full of astonishment.
Actually, it's true!
My mind was blank, completely messed up, there were countless things to say, but when it came to my mouth, it all came together into one sentence, "You are a girl."
how can that be? He has been dreaming.
At that time, Mu Wanqing hadn't grown up yet. She was indistinguishable and handsome, and she didn't have the slightest bit of charisma. Who would doubt her behavior?
"Is it okay for me to dress up as a man? Most people can't see it."
Boss Pan's mouth is so big that he can put a duck egg in it, "It's really you...why..."
Mu Wanqing looked indifferent, "I just want to make some money."
The reason is strong.
When Boss Pan came out of the box, he was still confused, like a puppet.
Guo Er smiled at him, patted his shoulder, and walked past him.
Boss Pan regained his senses and grabbed his next door, "Guo Er, tell me quickly, what's going on? My head is like a paste now, so messy."
Totally unable to think.
He took Guo Er to have a drink, okay, Guo Er didn't hide it from him, and simply explained the matter.
After Boss Pan heard it, he was even more confused.
At the age of fourteen, he played around with them and played everyone with applause, but he, the old Jianghu, didn't even notice it.
"When did you know? Why didn't you tell me?"
Guo Er couldn't help laughing, "I just want to see your face change on the spot."
It was a great comfort to see someone more stupid than him.
Boss Pan: …
I can't take this friend anymore!
"At that time, she was still an exiled prisoner."
"Yes, now you are the head of Qingping County, you don't need to feel too embarrassed, after all, that is not a mortal." Guo Er thought about it and revealed a little bit of wind, "She even dared to play the prince of Northern Chu and the minister of Xiwu, and she still If you can get out of your body, what are you doing?"
Boss Pan's eyes lit up, "Northern Chu Prince? Tell me what's going on?"
"It's hard to say, anyway, I ordered her." Guo Er not only ordered cotton cloth, but also helped to rebuild a street with a local specialty style. He rented several stores and opened a Guo family business, specializing in selling Jiangnan soil. specialty.
"I bought a house and a farm in Liangcheng, and I'm still building a restaurant."
The family originally disliked border gates, but, unable to resist the temptation of Cotton, they allocated some human and material resources and let him take care of it.
The other brothers wished that he would stay in Liangcheng forever and not compete with them for the position of the head of the family, so they all contributed.
After hearing this, Boss Pan insisted on taking a tour. After reading it, he rushed to the government office, bought a large piece of land to make a farm, and built a house in the city.
"I plan to plant some cotton with the chief of Qingping County."
He is a bold man, and once he makes a move, he will have tens of thousands of acres of land.
Of course, he is not the only one who does this. Guo Er said, "The price of land in Liangcheng has risen, and it will rise again after the war is over."
In the past, one acre of good land was three taels, but now it's five taels.
The wasteland is one tael per mu, and now it is three or two, but even so, the wasteland is still rushing to buy.
Businesses from all over come to bet, what if the bet wins?
As soon as the merchants entered, the business of the restaurant, teahouse and inn exploded, and the surrounding business also rose.
The unprecedented prosperity of Liangcheng was completely unaffected by the war.
All this is thanks to the advent of cotton.
Seeking wealth and danger, businessmen have a keen sense of smell, and they touched it early in the morning, and they all made bets in advance.
When doing business in Liangcheng, as long as you follow the rules, there will be no mess. The business environment is very good, which makes the business people relieved.
In case of injustice, you can find the government to solve it, keep it efficient and useful, and you don't need to send money to bribe officials.
Large and small workshops have opened, and there are many people doing the work. If you have a few dollars on hand, you are willing to spend. This virtuous circle makes Liangcheng prosper.
The snack street of the Mu family is even more lively, with customers coming like a cloud every day, and the supply is in short supply.
An ordinary carriage made a lap in Liangcheng. Du Shuai, who was in the carriage, had just recovered from his injuries, and he couldn't help but come out for a spin.
The streets lined with shops are bustling with traffic, and the bustling crowds are crowded and bustling.
The little trader is carrying the load, and the hawking sounds from time to time, and everything is full of vitality.
There was a smile on every face, calm and serene.
These are the things that Du Shuai has always guarded.
He couldn't help feeling, "This is different from the Liangcheng in my impression."
He only remembered that the two main streets were lively, other than that, they were quite deserted. Ordinary people didn't go to the main streets very often, and things were expensive.
As a son-in-law, Jiang Tongzhi went to accompany Du Shuai when he had nothing to do. No, he was pulled out by Du Shuai and walked around on the street.
"Since the head of Qingping County entered the Dusi Mansion, he has reclaimed wasteland and cultivated land to build water conservancy, vigorously supported industry and commerce, and built workshops, in exchange for today's prosperity."
This is a city that is not shrouded in the cloud of war, obviously impossible, but Mu Wanqing did it.
Du Shuai frowned slightly, "Support industry and commerce?"
The national policy of the Daqi Dynasty was to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, and the status of merchants was not high.
Jiang Tongzhi naturally knew what he was thinking, "Don't worry, the head of Qingping County knows that agriculture will always come first, develop business on the basis of agriculture, and rely on each other. Grain and cloth are strategic materials, and we must firmly grasp it. in my own hands."
"Smoothing market prices, imposing heavy taxes on industrial and commercial enterprises, and the government taking full control of the economy are her strategies." Note (1)
As a result, the economy is booming, a lot of taxes come up, and the government has money.
With money, we will open up wasteland, support agricultural development, and build large and small workshops. After a whole set of processes is completed, the troika of commercial, industrial, and agricultural industries advances steadily.
Only then did Du Shuai feel relieved. He glanced at the pedestrians on the road a few more times and found that they were all wearing cotton-padded clothes. Although they were black, blue and gray, they were brand new.
"What's the price of cotton cloth?"
Jiang Tongzhi knew this very well. "The most common cotton cloth is 100 yuan, and the cotton wool is 50 yuan per pound..."
People go out to work, and the daily wages are at least 20 cents. That is to say, they can buy these after working for a few days, and there is not much pressure.
"So cheap?" Du Shuai was a little surprised.
Jiang Tongzhi nodded with a smile, "Yes, but the sale is restricted. A family can only buy five catties of cotton wool and two pieces of cloth with the household registration."
This is the benefit of the residents of the city.
Du Shuai calculated in his mind, one piece of cloth can do three body bunts, "This is only enough for the whole family to put on cotton jackets and cotton trousers, but not enough to make quilts."
"There is no way to do this. The military is given priority, and the rest is supplied to the residents of the city at a fair price, and the few are sold in other places to earn back the cost." Jiang Tongzhi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Qingping County The Lord is really good, obviously she can make a lot of money."
This is enough to prove that Mu Wanqing is an excellent ruler and a person with great feelings.
"Buy more seeds from her, and we'll plant half of them next year." Du Shuai came out for a walk, because he wanted to make a memorial to the court and tell the credit of Mu Wanqing, so that the court could make a decision earlier.
This matter dragged on for a long time, and the court did not pay attention to it and did not issue a formal appointment letter. don't know what it meant.
Jiang Tongzhi laughed, "Her seeds are quite expensive, but the supply is still in short supply. She can make a fortune by selling seeds."
In the end, Mu Wanqing was not at a disadvantage no matter what.
Du Shuai nodded slightly, Mu Wanqing was not a saint who only knew how to give without asking for anything in return.
She is very shrewd, but she does not reveal it. What is even more rare is that she is decent and generous, and she is just right in both public and private.
It is impeccable in public affairs.
"Hey, why is this street so clean?"
Jiang Tongzhi chuckled, "The county owner of Qingping has set up garbage cans and public toilets on the side of the road, set up a cleaning team, is responsible for street cleaning, and also set up a bus."
He pointed to a carriage that was galloping across, "Look, there is a bus written on this carriage, which means that people can get on the bus with only a penny and can take them to any place in the city."
"Transfer stations have been built next to the four city gates, and the ox carts and donkey carts entering the city are all placed at the transfer stations."
In this way, the livestock will be prevented from pooping and urinating everywhere, making the streets dirty.
Du Shuai: ...
"What about the shipping?"
"There is a special truck."
Du Shuai felt that he didn't know Liangcheng anymore. It's only been so long, and there have been earth-shaking changes.
"Let's go, go to the Mu Family Academy."
Mujia Academy, today is the graduation ceremony of the first batch of students, which is full of ceremony.
The audience was full of students and their parents, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.
The two young ladies of the Du family were also invited to watch the ceremony and brought their own children.
Miss Du looked at the students in uniform school uniforms with envy. Men and women were treated equally, and they had an enlightened patriarch.
"After this batch of graduates leave, the academy will be deserted."
Miss Du Er was the vice president of the academy before, but now she has adjusted her work and has become the general manager of the Shuimu Farm wool workshop. She is confident and has the demeanor of a professional woman.
"How come? There are too many people who want to come in to study, and everyone is waiting for the Qingping county head to open up to recruit students. It is said that they need to recruit a group of outstanding seedlings in the face of the society."
Before, a group of children from powerful families had entered the academy, but there were only a small number of them.
Here, no matter what your background is, you are a student, and learning knowledge is the first priority.
If you don't study hard, you will make trouble here, and you will be kicked out every minute.
There are no privileges here, everyone believes in the respect of the strong, and Mu Wanqing is the strongest in everyone's heart, and worships the students.
Miss Du's eyes swept to a familiar face. This was her husband's nephew. He couldn't make a fuss at home. He was a rebellious young man.
But now, An An is sitting in the classmates, with a very peaceful profile, as if a different person.
"By the way, how did the academy subdue these thorns?" There is no corporal punishment here, and it is impossible to beat and scold.
"Internal exam." Second Miss Du smiled a little narrowly, "Weekly exams, ten-ten-ten exams, quarterly exams, and those at the bottom of the three exams will be dismissed."
Just coping with the exam will exhaust your energy, how can you still have time to do things?
Miss Du: …
I understand, the rebellious guy is also shameful. If he is cleared out, how can he still be in the circle? Even the parents and family members have no face.
On the stage, Mu Wanqing smiled and looked at the succulent leeks, oh no, the grown-up young boys and girls.
The students felt her gaze, their chests became higher, the dean looked at me, looked at me! I'm the best at it!
Mu Wanqing delivered an enthusiastic speech, which was very inspiring. The central idea was to work hard, strive to stand alone as soon as possible, and become the pride of the acade. hope that their names will be engraved on the honor roll of the acade as soon as possible, so that all students can learn Sisters look up.
Taking the diploma from her, listening to her comments and affirmations of each graduate, the students were so excited that tears filled their eyes, and they could not wait to die for the dean.
There is no better dean than her, who has broken hearts for them, knows everyone's situation like the back of the hand, and provides targeted guidance.
They are also praised for their excellent talents.
The atmosphere was extremely warm, and countless people had red eyes, and even outsiders were infected, and their mood was agitated.
Du Shuaiyin watched for a while in the dark, but had to say that Mu Wanqing was also a good educator.
Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded, "County lord, something has happened, and there is an uprising in the Wei Palace."
The words were earth-shattering, and the audience was in an uproar.
