Chapter 227

Mu Wanqing was very familiar with the process of receiving the order, and led the crowd to kneel to receive the order.

The inner servant began to issue the imperial decree, and the content shocked everyone, what? Move up to Beijing? Tobe's left servant? Did you hear that right?

Mu Wanqing got the wind long ago, and she calmly accepted the order and arranged a banquet to entertain the group.

In the eyes of everyone, it is the demeanor of a general who is not afraid of honor or shame.

The guests exploded.

"Congratulations to the county lord, Hexi county lord."

Mu Wanqing looked at the people with different expressions, and cupped her hands, "Thank you."

Xiliang officials were in a particularly complicated mood. They were used to working under Mu Wanqing's subordinates and obeying her arrangements.

Although he is busy flying every day, he is filled with a sense of accomplishment when he sees the city that is changing day by day.

She has hills and valleys in her chest, and her ability is outstanding. She not only drives the economy of Xiliang, but also promotes the formation of an industrial chain of cotton. The people's livelihood has been greatly improved, and the people have gradually lived a good life.

She is fair and generous, and has formulated a series of systems, high salaries and honesty, and officials' welfare is very good, with clear rewards and punishments.

Her contribution to Xiliang is obvious to all and deserves the respect of all.

Sun Tongzhi couldn't help blushing, "County Lord, Xiliang can't live without you, don't go."

"County Lord, please stay."

She has become the backbone of Xiliang, and everyone panicked at the thought of her leaving.

But, the decree has been made, and this matter is a firm decision, and there is no room for manoeuvre.

Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "Everything is on the right track here in Xiliang, and it will get better and better."

As long as those in power don't mess around and follow the rules within the framework she set, nothing will go wrong.

Miss Du was surprised, "Sister Wanqing, I really don't want you to leave."

Mu Wanqing patted her arm, smiling like a flower, "Can you come to the capital to play with me?"

Can that be the same? Miss Du opened her mouth with all kinds of feelings in her heart.

What she is more worried about is her brother's marriage. Once Mu Wanqing returns to the capital, the two are separated by thousands of miles. Is there any chance?

The Mu family's reaction was particularly big, "Patriarch, are you really going back to the capital?" How could it be like a dream.

"right."

Everyone looked at each other, half happy and half sad.

The joy is that, as the patriarch of the Mu clan, the bigger Mu Wanqing's official position is, the more beneficial it is to them.

They look forward to her rising.

Sadly, they were ready to settle down at the border and take root in Liangcheng, and suddenly they had the opportunity to return to Beijing, and their hearts were eager to move.

The capital is the homeland they deeply miss, and the capital is better than Xiliang in all aspects.

But let them give up everything in Liangcheng, they can't do it.

"If you leave, what will we do with this mess in Xiliang? Where should we go?"

Mu Wanqing could understand their feelings at this time, "The foundation of Xiliang has been laid and the framework is set up. As long as I strictly follow my ten-year plan, Xiliang will usher in tremendous development."

"I will find a way to choose a successor who can inherit my governing philosophy. The Mu's Snack Street will not be affected. Everyone can stay if they want, or they can go back to the capital if they want."

The clansmen struggled fiercely. To be honest, they had houses and shops in Xiliang, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everything was fine.

However, all this was under the protection of Mu Wanqing.

If you change the ruler, one emperor and one courtier, can it really be unaffected after a long time?

Mu Wanqing let them make their own choices, "I will face countless open and dark arrows when I return to the capital this time. If you want to go back, wait until the situation stabilizes before going back. You should think about it first, don't worry, there is time."

She temporarily appeased the clansmen and asked them to go back and have a good discussion.

When the guests dispersed and the family closed the door, Mu Erye couldn't wait to ask, "Qing'er, did you already know?"

Mu Wanqing looked at her family, they were all nervous.

"Du Shaoxuan mentioned a sentence in the letter, but before the decree was issued, everything could happen, so I didn't tell you, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night because of your worries."

Second Master Mu can understand her thoughts, no, he has begun to worry about gains and losses. "What did the emperor think?"

Mu Wanqing pursed her lips, "The current situation is unstable. The emperor urgently needs someone who is good at economics to be responsible for rebuilding this area. For the sake of the world, I have a duty."

For her, Xiliang was her first stage, where she completed the accumulation of primitive experience.

But this is just the beginning, not the end.

She aspires to the court and a higher position.

Looking at the sparkling daughter, Erye Mu's heart was full of pride, what more could a husband ask for if he had a daughter?

But Mrs. Mu couldn't calm down. "But those officials can't tolerate you. They can do anything in front of their interests. Qing'er, why don't you resign?"

Second Master Mu glared at his wife angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, do you want your daughter to resist the decree?"

Mu Wanqing took back Mrs. Mu's arm, and said softly, "They are in the first year of the first year, so I will be in the fifteenth, so what are you afraid of? Besides, the emperor will protect me, and then I will ask the emperor to give me a few excellent tips. Master, just protect me in secret."

These words still can't make Second Lady Mu relax, "I'm still worried, Qing'er, you are still young, you haven't been exposed to too much darkness of human nature, those unscrupulous people are very scary, you still resign from the post of left servant of the Ministry of Housing. Well, live peacefully in Xiliang, I believe that the emperor will not blame you for your previous achievements."

"But I want to do it." Mu Wanqing made no secret of her ambitions. "I want to do something vigorous in my life. I don't want to be famous in history. I just want to leave a trace that belongs to me in this era."

"Lived, fought, and lived brilliantly."

The Mu family looked at her blankly, she actually had such an ambition.

"I support my sister."

"I also support my sister. I live forever, I am not willing to be mediocre, and I do not regret my choice."

Mrs. Mu sighed helplessly, and there was nothing she could do to her. "Then we want to transfer all the properties in our hands?"

She inhaled distressedly. Snack Street is a hen that lays golden eggs, and Shuimu Farm is a money grabbing machine.

Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, "That's what I thought, my parents will stay in Xiliang to guard this family business. This is also my back-up. If things go bad, I still have a place to go back to."

In fact, she didn't want to bring her parents back to the turbulent capital, it was too unsafe.

Second Master Mu and the couple looked at each other, and what they said made sense, Xiliang is their territory, and they can come back at any time.

"Then bring your eldest brother and second brother, then bring all the outstanding graduates of the academy, and bring the Qingping Army."

Qingping Army was the name Mu Wanqing gave to his subordinates, the Women's Army, so it was easier to remember.

Mu Wanqing had already thought about it, "Big brother is going to take a scientific examination, so we just went back together. I will keep my second brother as a contact. If something happens, I will work hard for the second brother to run back and forth."

"Okay. That's it."

The family's property remains unchanged, and the official business becomes more troublesome.

Mu Wanqing specially came to visit Du Shuai to discuss the list of successors.

She is qualified to nominate a successor, and Du Shuai also has a vote. If the two reach an agreement, they will jointly recommend it and the court will approve it.

Mu Wanqing has always been an actionist, and she does what she says. "Du Shuai, who do you have?"

Du Shuai looked at the girl with outstanding temperament in front of him, and his mood was quite complicated. The back waves pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach.

"Sun Tongzhi was in charge of city affairs before, and he didn't make a fuss after he became your subordinate. He assisted you diligently and had a good character. Although his ability is far inferior to yours, he is better than him. No."

Before Mu Wanqing took over, Sun Tongzhi did a good job in this area, making Xiliang safe and sound, which is remarkable. But people's livelihood withered, business loneliness.

"He can't handle such a large amount of work alone, and he can't be busy. Moreover, he believes in the middle way of doing things, and it's okay to keep things successful, but he is not decisive enough when encountering things."

Sun Tongzhi's strengths and weaknesses are obvious. He is an old minister who has participated in various construction work and is a good executor.

Mu Wanqing came up with a framework and needed a gentle person to execute it. Sun Tongzhi was actually quite suitable.

Put on an ambitious person, and maybe he will overthrow everything about his predecessor.

But as a helmsman, his mind and means ability is still almost meaningless, not enough to kill and make decisions.

Du Shuai frowned slightly, "Do you have any good advice?"

More than anyone else, Mu Wanqing hoped that her efforts would not be wasted and that Xiliang could develop smoothly.

"Let's build a think tank. There are three or five people. Usually, each of them is responsible for their own affairs. If there is a problem, they will discuss it collectively and raise their hands to vote."

Three stooges top Zhuge Liang.

Du Shuai had no objection, "Okay, just five people, more people are more powerful, you can decide the list."

Mu Wanqing tapped on the table, her red lips slightly lifted, "Sun Tongzhi is in charge of general management, Miss Du is in charge of business, Jiang Donglai is in charge of agriculture, and Qian Dayou is in charge of industry..."

The Du Shifu originally had three departments: the Department of Experience, the Department of Judgment, and the Department of Prisons, responsible for all official document exchanges and prisons.

Today there are more industrial commerce and cotton industry, the workload has increased a lot, but the sector has not increased, just take this opportunity to expand.

She simply divided the affairs at hand into five parts, so the head office should be.

She took into account all aspects, not only left Sun Tongzhi decent enough, but also brought in the Du family, aggravating women's right to speak.

Jiang Donglai was an official who was personally promoted by her. She was good at farming and was a down-to-earth person.

Qian Dayou is now helping her manage Fufeng City, and can be transferred back to take charge of the industry.

Du Shuai thought about it carefully and felt that it was feasible, "There is still one person left."

The most important thing in Xiliang is cotton, and Mu Wanqing is naturally handed over to someone she trusts.

"I will request to build kapok lifting divisions in various places at the meeting, and mu Zicheng is in charge of the Xiliang kapok lifting division."

Du Shuai: ...

"Does your elder brother know that you arranged him so clearly?"

Before mu Zicheng was admitted, she planned his life.

Mu Wanqing did not shy away from her relatives, "He knows the cotton field like the back of his hand, and he has almost experienced it in the past two years. Let him try it out."

She built Mianhua with her own hands, and everyone only recognizes her. Mu Zicheng, as her spokesperson, also said it in the past.

What's more, the particularity of Shuimu Farm is destined to be unable to bypass the Mu family.

As long as mu Zicheng has a firm grasp on cotton, the Mu family will still be in an invincible position in Xiliang, and the industry will not be coveted and taken away.

Du Shuai gave her a deep look, "You played a big game of chess. These moves are exquisite, and you have carefully planned them from the beginning."

If she guessed correctly, since she built Shuimu Farm, she began to lay out the layout, step by step.

Arranging for Mu Zicheng to enter the imperial examination is the most critical step, which is Mu Wanqing's other hand.

In the past two years, she has been instructed by her family in various circles, spurred them frantically, and threw them to various positions to practice, just for today.

Mu Wanqing did not deny it, "I will never pin my hopes on others."

Only relying on herself is the most reliable. If the Mu family is to thrive, she cannot rely on her efforts alone.

Du Shuai was silent, such a scheming was daunting, but fortunately, her conduct was fine.

He is old, and he can't play with these young people.

"Aren't you afraid of Mu Zicheng's failure? The capital is not as good as Xiliang. There are so many talented people that they may not pass the exam. Besides, the imperial examination requires not only the right time and place, but also a bit of luck. "

Those prodigies who took the imperial examinations were not all smooth sailing, and some of them never passed the exam in their entire lives.

Mu Wanqing waved her hand with a smile, "It's okay, I still have several backup plans."

Mu Zicheng is more than one of the children of the Mu family who came to Beijing to take the exam.

Du Shuai: ...

Mu Wanqing suddenly came over thiefly, "Du Shuai, I want to ask you a favor, only you can help me."

Du Shuai: ...

I always feel that she doesn't seem to be doing good things, can you refuse?
