    Chapter 188

    Mu Wanqing didn't stay in Fufeng City for a long time, leaving a recipe for making salt and left in a hurry.

    She left Mr. Qian and Nie Feng behind, one in charge of civil affairs and one in charge of military affairs.

    Mr. Qian was eager to try the salt-making recipe. It is said that this can make the salt yield higher and purer.

    He asked people to do the experiment according to the recipe, and personally watched it.

    Since ancient times, salt and iron have been used as military supplies, which were strictly controlled by the court.

    The price is not too high, but you can't buy it, so private salt dealers came into being.

    One-third of the salt fields in Daqi are distributed within the fiefs of the Jinwangfu. When the Jinwangfu was involved, the passage was directly cut off.

    Return the salt fields of the court to his own name, and do not allow anyone to sell it.

    This made the surrounding people unable to eat salt, and the court also suffered heavy losses.

    Therefore, the significance of the salt lake is extraordinary, which can ensure the freedom of eating salt in the Xiliang area.

    He couldn't help but once again praised the county magistrate of Qingping, with a discerning eye and a far-sighted view.

    It's worth attacking Fufeng City!

    Suddenly, a surprised voice came from my ear, "Master Qian, the salt is out,"

    Mr. Qian looked at Qing Qing and his eyes were straight.

    The salt in front of him is white and crystal clear, as beautiful as snowflakes.

    In the past, the salt was relatively rough, with large yellow particles, which looked a little dirty.

    Mr. Qian picked up a little bit and put it in his mouth. It was salty without the slight bitterness of coarse salt.

    His eyes shone brightly, no wonder the county magistrate of Qingping called it refined salt.

    "Great, let's build a refined salt workshop and let those prisoners come to work, remember to keep it secret."

    "Yes." The subordinate hesitated for a while, "Sir, can this salt belong to us in Xiliang?"

    Can the court allow it?

    "We just need to make the salt, the rest..." Mr. Qian paused and said confidently, "The county magistrate of Qingping has his own rules."

    Okay, then do it.

    Everyone is watching the movement of Fufeng City. This remote city became a household name overnight and became the focus of attention.

    However, contrary to everyone's surprise, Jin Wangfu did not send troops to take it back, but paid to redeem a group of generals.

    Is this... a confession? It shouldn't, fight, fight!

    The more shocking news is still to come. The emperor issued a decree to designate Fufeng City as the fief of Qingping County.

    As soon as this will came out, the whole world shook.

    Generally speaking, there are two types of titles and fiefs, one is a real title, and one has a fief, such as the King of Jin and the King of Wei.

    This kind of thing is either a royal clan, or a high-ranking person.

    The other is a false title, only a title but no fief, the Qingping County Lord is this type, rewarding the title for meritorious service, being respected by others, but not having real power, this is the norm.

    However, now a decree broke the routine, the Qingping county owner has a fief, and half of the fief's tax revenue is for her use.

    This is simply a pie in the world, a big happy event.

    Mu Erye and his wife were so excited that they took the imperial decree and looked at it again and again, oh, hey, it's true!

    Holy Emperor! The ancestral grave is smoking!

    Mu Wanqing looked surprised, she never expected that the emperor would do such a thing.

    Thousands of gold buy bones, let the world see that he is an enlightened prince, as long as he has the ability and makes great contributions, he will be rewarded regardless of gender and age.

    Moreover, Mu Wanqing was completely tied to his warship.

    Fufeng City has a special geographical location. It is a buffer area in the middle of the fiefs of Xiliang and Jin Wangfu. It falls into Mu Wanqing's hands. believe she can defend it.

    The one who benefited the most was Mu Wanqing, she was quite happy, as long as she gave enough benefits, she could say anything.

    This emperor can handle it, and it is not a loss to give his life to him.

    Like the Prince of Jin, who is standing and acting, he wants everything, and he is not afraid of dying by himself.

    She is also very stingy, with empty gloves and a white wolf, and she uses a blank appointment letter to recruit her, hehe.

    How can there be such a good thing these days?

    Look at the emperor, give it directly to a city, how generous.

    Therefore, Mu Wanqing doesn't look down on the prince of Jin, who can only share weal and woe but not wealth. What is the use?

    Desperately working hard for you, you will be kicked away when things are done, what are you trying to do?

    The excited voice of Mrs. Mu came from her ears, "Qing'er, don't live up to the emperor's high hopes."

    She was so proud that she gave birth to a very powerful and extraordinary daughter.

    She went out, and don't know how many people envied her.

    "I know." Mu Wanqing looked at her parents with a smile, "Father, mother, let's think about what to give in return."

    Return gift? Mu Erye and his wife were stunned and looked at each other.

    "Yes, yes, we have to let the emperor know our intentions. What can we give? The emperor is rich in the world, what do you have?"

    Mu Wanqing said softly, "Respect is light and affectionate, as long as it is full of sincerity, he can naturally feel it."

    Mrs. Mu racked her brains for a long time, "What about food?"

    Every day she comes into contact with the snack street and eats all kinds of food.

    Mu Wanqing vetoed without hesitation, "No, it's not safe to eat after turning around a few times, it's too easy to be attacked by others."

    is not that right? Cross out.

    Second Master Mu thought for a while, "Then let's send cotton cloth. Last year, the material was not enough, and it was too simple. This year, there are many tricks, and the technology has also developed to a certain extent. If you send a little more, even if the emperor does not need it, you can still reward people."

    The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. "Wool products can also be added." In this way, the scope is large.

    I have to hurry to find the best female workers to weave some fine products to pay tribute.

    Mu Wanqing said again, "Then bring alcohol and disinfectant cotton wool."

    These are all their own properties, which are particularly meaningful, and believe they will not disappoint the emperor.

    Second Master Mu nodded again and again, "Okay, leave this to me, I'll arrange it."

    "Father's work, I'm very relieved." Mu Wanqing coaxed Second Master Mu with a smile, and she wanted to do things beautifully.

    The clan was full of jubilation, and felt even more proud in their hearts, and they held their heads high when they went out.

    Mu Wanqing specially summoned the clansmen to beat them, telling them to guard against arrogance and impatience, and stop drifting.

    Don't do bad things in her name. If you let her know, they will be punished equally.

    She strictly controlled the clansmen, and even took the issue of exile and distribution as an example, she just knocked some people who were floating sober.

    As is customary, a banquet is held, and on the first day, a banquet is held for colleagues and subordinates in the officialdom.

    She also posted a post to Du Shuai. Of course, this was just a passing scene. Du Shuai was at home and would not go anywhere.

    It's one thing if you don't come, it's not right if you don't post.

    The last time was awarded the title of county head, everyone was envious and envied, but it was just like that.

    But this time, everyone respected her, only she followed suit.

    She is not only the county head with fiefs, but also the actual chief executive of Xiliang, with authority in hand, who would dare to say nothing?

    Mu Wanqing clearly felt the difference, but her attitude remained the same, gentle and indifferent.

    Everyone was a little apprehensive about her, and they held her with respect and didn't dare to say more.

    However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Mu family kept complimenting, and the complimenting Mrs. Mu couldn't stop laughing.

    As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family, Ji Cheng is naturally very popular, and she is praised as a flower.

    Ji Cheng is now in charge of the custom and specialty street, and the Mu's business on the street is also under her control. She is busy every day, but she is in high spirits and high-spirited.

    When she married into the Mu family, she began to think that she would be shut up in the backyard to serve her in-laws, husband and son.

    As a result, the father-in-law was busy in Shuimu Farm, and the mother-in-law was in charge of several snack bars in the family and went out early in the morning.

    Xianggong is in charge of the wasteland reclamation, and the uncle and sister-in-law are busy flying.

    She couldn't be idle either, and was dragged to manage the reconstruction of a street.

    The family is busy, but the days are extraordinarily fulfilling, and every day is full of hope.

    Suddenly, a woman asked with a smile, "The eldest young lady has been married for a while, when will there be good news?"

    Ji Cheng's face sank, and it was most annoying for others to stare at her belly.

    Second Mrs. Mu glanced at the woman calmly, "What's the hurry? A woman's body doesn't grow until she is eighteen years old. It's too dangerous to give birth to a child before. Our family is not in a hurry to hold a grandson.

    As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

    The woman was surprised and anxious, "I only grow up at the age of eighteen? Who said that? Why have I never heard of it?"

    "My family's Qing'er said it." Second Mrs. Mu said it confidently, and her daughter's words have never been missed.

    The woman immediately changed her tone, "It turned out that the county owner said it, so it must be true."

    Ji Cheng looked in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched. What about your principles?

    "Mrs. Mu, your three children are all outstanding. How did you educate them? Can you share them with us?"

    Mrs. Mu loves hearing this, "They have been well-behaved and sensible since they were young, so I don't have to worry about it."

    "That's inseparable from your words and deeds." The woman boasted a few words, and suddenly said, "Has the second young master's marriage been agreed? If not, I will introduce a particularly good girl, who is beautiful and has a good temperament. Generous and considerate…”

    Mrs. Mu hurriedly interrupted, "Thank you for your kindness, it's almost settled, and I'll send you a wedding invitation later."

    Everyone was a little disappointed, and their desire to marry the Mu family was still not dead. "Then the county owner's marriage has been settled? We can help introduce it."

    The corner of Mu Er's mouth twitched, "I can't decide this, it's all up to her."

    She is not in a hurry now, her daughter is rising step by step, and few are worthy of her.

    She didn't want to feel wronged for her precious daughter.

    Some people have the intention to say a few words: the marriage of children is decided by the parents, how can there be their own decision?

    However, before speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Mu Wanqing, she was beautiful and majestic.

    Forget it, don't be blind, the head of Qingping County is like chopping vegetables and melons, and it is extremely cruel.

    Mu Wanqing didn't know that her murderous name was out, and outsiders made up a lot of stories for her, but at this moment she just smiled politely at the woman.

    There were too many people, and the smell of rouge gouache was too strong. Mu Wanqing only felt itchy nose, so she found an excuse to go out to breathe.

    As Mu Wanqing walked, she saw a familiar figure under a plum tree. She turned her head and saw that it was Yu Wanrou. Her temperament had also changed, and she was a little more capable.

    Not only her, but the Mu family all do business and have more contact with people, which has changed more or less.

    "Why are you sitting here alone? It's cold outside."

    "I...I'm thinking about something." Yu Wanrou's eyes were slightly red, and she tried to raise a smile, "Sister, there are many people who have proposed marriage to your second brother recently."

    Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, why did she tell her? She is the patriarch, but not the head of the family. "You haven't decided yet? How long has it been?"

    She never asked about her brother's marriage, and her parents were there.

    Yu Wanrou pursed her lips, looking a little sad, "Your second brother... seems to have a sweetheart."

    Mu Wanqing: ...

    But I am such a big melon, she is not the first to know about it.

    "who is it?"
