Chapter 224
Xiao Yan's mind was racing, "If you promise me, I will say..."
Du Shaoxuan was extremely impatient, "Pull it out."
Seeing that his attitude was so determined, Xiao Yan felt anxious, "There is a hidden compartment in the study of King Jin, which is full of Mu Wanqing's portraits."
Du Shaoxuan rushed out, and when he passed Xiao Yan, he ordered, "Lock people up and don't run around."
Xiao Yan looked at his disappearing figure, an angry and ashamed man who didn't know his style.
Du Shaoxuan carefully searched every corner of the study and found a hidden compartment behind a mural.
Sure enough, it was all a scroll, and when opened it, it was the portrait of Mu Wanqing. The shapes were different and lifelike, and the lifelike image appeared on the paper.
Only people who have seen her can draw such vivid images, and...
He looked at it for a while, and silently pocketed all the portraits without mentioning it.
The wind blows without a trace.
Du Shaoxuan scavenged the treasure house of Jin Wangfu and sent them all back to Xiliang.
As for the people in the Jin Palace, they were all imprisoned, and after being locked up for a period of time, they were all sent to the lakeside of Fufeng City.
Both men and women serve hard labor, let's go to the sun.
This life was tiring and bitter, and the pampered sons and daughters cried and cried, and were severely whipped a few times.
It's not bad if they didn't kill them, what's the quarrel? Do you feel bad about dying?
Everyone was desperate, but they didn't have the courage to die, so they could only suffer.
"Sixth sister, it's all your fault. It's you who offended General Du, and that's why we're here."
"The winner is the king and the loser is Kou. We are finished with Jin Wangfu, and so are we."
Mu Wanqing didn't know anything about these things, she was busy in Xiliang.
Since spring ploughing has to be arranged, cotton seedlings should be raised. This time, there are enough cotton seeds, which have been planted in various areas of Xiliang, accounting for half of the planting area.
The other half is still planting wheat, which is the staple food, and a certain planting area must be guaranteed.
And there are not many corn seeds, so she planted a large area in her own Shuimu Farm, and can harvest a large number of good seeds in autumn.
This time, with the experience, the peasants took care of them very carefully, and the seedlings grew gratifyingly.
On the other hand, she is also responsible for the logistics of the army, raising food and arranging for manual delivery.
I have to work until late at night every day, and can't wake up when touch the bed.
Not only her, but all departments in Xiliang are busy, like a high-speed machine, continuously outputting.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief until they captured the Jin Palace.
Mu Wanqing arranged a small celebration feast for everyone to relax.
The celebration banquet is in the form of a buffet. The food is lined up, and it is quite novel if you want to eat it yourself.
Mu Wanqing took a plate of food and picked a spot at random, and after a while, a group of people gathered around her.
Sun Tongzhi was very happy, "We have won this battle."
The back road of King Jin's army was cut off, and the front was fighting with the court again.
"The army of King Jin is still outside, so we can't take it lightly."
Sun Tongzhi took an egg tart and ate it with relish, "Don't worry, our young master can't do anything else, he's a good player in war."
Miss Du was unhappy, "What do you mean by not being able to do anything else?"
Sun Tongzhi was quick to speak, and coughed a few times in embarrassment, "Cough, I mean he is famous for his ability to fight and fight. With him around, Xiliang is as stable as Mount Tai."
He turned his head to look at Mu Wanqing, "County Lord, this egg tart is so delicious, can I pack a few?"
Mu Wanqing slowly picked out a few favorite foods and didn't say much.
She knew that this was a change of topic, but she didn't say anything, and nodded slightly, "Okay, you can tell the staff, don't forget to take it when you leave."
Miss Du also looked over, "Thank you, the county chief."
Others also offered, "I want it too."
"I also want to bring some back home to eat for the elderly and children at home."
Mu Wanqing did not expect egg tarts to be so popular, "Go and ask if there are more, if not, make more."
Miss Du likes sweets very much, so she asked the servants in Fuzhong to go to the snack street to buy a few copies.
"Why doesn't the snack street serve egg tarts?"
Not only are there no egg tarts, but also cream cakes. If you want to eat it, you can only ask Mu Wanqing.
The Mu family raised a group of chefs who made pastry, all of which were cultivated by Mu Wanqing.
But Mu Wanqing is the highest officer of Xiliang, who would be so embarrassed to always look for her?
They can only eat enough at various festivals.
Mu Wanqing waved her hand, "It's too expensive, the cost is a little high, and it's not suitable for a civilian snack street."
These days, white sugar and brown sugar are very expensive. Eggs are also a good thing to replenish the body. The ingredients used are the best, and everything is not cheap.
The snack street is positioned to be affordable by ordinary people. The burritos, pancakes, cold skins, etc. are all at a few cents a piece, which is more than a dozen cents more expensive.
Miss Du thought for a while, "You can open a pastry shop in a department store and sell it at an affordable price."
"Guo Er won the exclusive right to operate, let him open a branch in Xiliang another day." Mu Wanqing made enough money on glass, but she was usually busy, so she was lazy to spend her mind on it.
Hey, Guo Er opened a lot of houses in Jiangnan, why didn't he open one here? Time to ask what's going on.
Time flies fast. In the autumn harvest season, the cotton is harvested, and the experience of the previous year has already been obtained. The cotton is picked in an orderly manner in various regions, rough processed into cotton cloth, cotton tires, and alcohol cotton balls. While being self-sufficient, there are still surpluses.
Mu Wanqing used the remainder as a welfare, and the urban residents who took the initiative to open the door to welcome Du Jiajun could buy it at a low price with their household registration.
The happiness of these folk houses is broken, and the Lord of Qingping County is good, you can always trust her.
After the autumn harvest, the Du family's army returned to the DPRK. Since then, the two-year war has finally ended, and there are no more rebels.
Yes, back to the court, Du Shaoxuan led the army to escort the defeated King of Jin and his group back to the court.
The emperor personally led the civil and military officials to greet him, and Du Shaoxuan arranged for a vigorous presentation of prisoners.
At the celebration banquet, the emperor looked at his high-spirited cousin, and was extremely relieved. On the spot, Du Shaoxuan was named the king of Xiliang, which was not hereditary, and he retired with the country.
Du Shaoxuan was a little surprised, but happily stepped forward to receive the order.
He won a king, relying on his own ability, with a clear conscience.
The civil and military officials were shocked. They didn't communicate with them in advance, which was against the rules.
Cifu was the first to stand up, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. General Du is in a high position at a young age, so I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public."
Xu Shoufu, who was on the side, was reluctant to return to his hometown, so he just married his granddaughter.
Today, the second assistant has become the head of the hundred officials, and the moxibustion hands are hot.
The emperor looked at them coldly, "Who doesn't accept it? You don't accept it? If you can also wipe out the chaotic thieves, Xiao Qing's chaos in the world, Kuang Fu court, maybe you have the throne."
Du Shaoxuan rescued him many times, protected him to the throne, and fought in the north and south to clear all obstacles for him.
It's all in exchange for blood.
The Minister of Rites stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the examples of feudal feudal turmoil are still in front of you, you can't repeat the same mistakes."
It is not good for the country to appoint a king with a different surname, and people's hearts are changeable. Du Shaoxuan is loyal now, but can he guarantee that he will be loyal all his life? Can he guarantee that his descendants will be loyal?
Du Shaoxuan was furious, "Presumptuous, you dare to compare me with those thieves, are you trying to force me against me? You have ulterior motives, and you can't see the stability of the court."
"You...you..." The Ministry of Rites was flushed with a bookish look, "Your Majesty, Xiliang's authority is too heavy. One prince and one county head make people worry."
Other officials came out to help one after another, and they all opposed the emperor's title to the king.
The emperor's expression was indifferent, "I am really moved by your lords worrying about the country and the people. Right now, there is a huge problem waiting for the Qing family to share their worries for me."
"After this catastrophe, people's livelihood has been difficult, all industries have withered, and the people's lives have been difficult. How to help the people rebuild their homes and restore their economic and people's livelihood. Mr. Wang, I will leave this mess to be solved by you."
The face of the Minister of Rites who was named turned green, "This minister is frightened, this minister does not have the ability to reach the sky."
The war is over, but wherever the war goes, there are no people in the radius of 100 miles, Xiao Liang is extremely cool, and there are too many problems left.
"Tell me, what's the solution?"
The Minister of Rites turned his head quickly, trembling with fear, "First to appease the people, resume production, open the treasury..."
His voice stopped abruptly, and his face was troubled.
The emperor slowly looked at everyone, "The treasury is empty, and everything needs money. The people are all looking forward to the court to help them. As civil and military officials, should you express it?"
Baiguan cried bitterly in his heart.
Du Shaoxuan was the first to stand up, "The minister donated 100,000 taels of silver, and also donated 100,000 on behalf of the head of Qingping County."
The emperor looked relieved, "Okay, this is the minister who loves the country and the people, how about you?"
The officials looked at each other and were very angry. This is obviously a forced donation, are they really not the acting that they have negotiated in advance?
Xu Shoufu, who was a wall flower on the side, winked at the censor, and the censor immediately stood up, "General Du, why didn't you turn over the spoils of war you got from capturing the Jin palace? You are embezzling, please punish the emperor. "
All the ministers' eyes lit up, didn't they? He didn't hand in the victory.
They jumped out one by one like mad dogs smelling blood.
"General Du, you actually embezzled the winning product, how can you be worthy of the emperor who loves you dearly?"
"You are daring, unfaithful and inhumane, and you harbor evil intentions. Your Majesty, you should strictly investigate his guilt."
Facing the siege of the crowd, Du Shaoxuan was extremely disdainful, "Your Majesty, this minister has already sent those dead objects to Xiliang..."
The censor was excited as if he had caught the handle, "Okay, you all admit it, Your Majesty, you can no longer cover up the proud General Du this time."
Du Shaoxuan rolled his eyes, "I haven't finished my words yet, what's the hurry? There are mutual markets and auction houses in Ganzhou City, where you can usually get a good price for shipments, and sell thousands of taels in the capital. It can be doubled several times in the hand.β
"Go directly to the treasury, who knows if there will be any problems, the real one will become fake, and the fake one will become waste."
The faces of all the officials were blue, and Du Shaoxuan didn't care. He cupped his hands at the emperor, "I got the emperor's permission."
So, where is their turn to be blind bb.
The emperor's mouth twitched slightly, "Yes, I allow it."
The courtiers were silent. The cousins ββwere too dog. They did it on purpose.
A voice sounded fiercely, "My minister has a suggestion. The head of Qingping County is good at economic management. It's better to transfer her to the household department and be responsible for filling the treasury."
Everyone looked at it in unison, and it was actually a servant of the Ministry of Rites, a traitor!
