Chapter 254

Mu Wanqing could not be affected by the disturbance of the harem, she would pay attention to ensure she was well informed, but would not interfere.

In her opinion, the empress and Cheng'en's palace were too anxious.

The child is jumping up and down before it is born, what are you anxious about?

Yes, many officials will choose to stand in line at this time, trying to get a head start.

But the more this is the case, the more you have to keep your composure, the more you have to keep a calm mind.

The battle of the harem has always been a war without the smoke of gunpowder. Not fighting is death, she can understand.

For the sake of the descendants, for the glory and wealth, and for the beauty of the next few decades, we all have to fight for it.

If the direct prince cannot inherit the throne, the situation will be very embarrassing, and it will even be difficult for him to gain a foothold.

But, sometimes not fighting is fighting.

Wait for the children to land safely, nurture and teach them well, and start fighting when the time is ripe.

Now the emperor is still young, and he has not spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, so he can deal with it calmly.

But Mu Wanqing is different from the people nowadays, and she doesn't understand the mentality of the women in the harem. They are fighting every moment, fighting for favor and having children.

In the harem, children are the greatest support.

The queen has been overwhelmed by the devil in order to have a child for ten years. Because she has no son, she has no confidence. She is always worried that she will not be the queen. She has tried countless remedies, taken countless bitter medicine, and her mentality is distorted. She is gentle and kind The woman has changed beyond recognition.

I had been holding back before, but once was pregnant, raised eyebrows.

The most respected family of the emperor, there is nothing more noble than the royal family. The prince has been frail since childhood, and it is very likely that the heaven will not leave the year and die young.

The prince concubine personally selected by the late emperor was originally interested in her being virtuous and virtuous, and her family background was ordinary, which prevented the possibility of foreign relatives seizing power.

But things are impermanent and people's hearts change.

Mu Wanqing didn't care about these matters, and refused the temptation to win over from all sides.

The opening day of the snack plaza was very lively.

She arranged for the children of several orphanages to run around the city in advance, and everyone who promoted it knew about it.

When it opened, people who were free came to join in the fun, and when they arrived at the scene, they found that there was a promotion and they could get a 50% discount.

Ouch, who wants to miss such a good thing? rush.

As soon as people rushed in with their families, the fast food restaurant and barbecue on the first floor were soon crowded with people,

A vegetarian dish and a bowl of broth bibimbap cost only ten cents, but it is fragrant and delicious, and you can still eat it full. It is especially friendly to the poor who can't eat meat at ordinary times.

The kebabs are fragrant for ten miles, and most people can't bear it, so they can't help but buy a bunch of them.

On the second and third layers, it is even richer. Malatang egg waffles, pearl milk tea, plum blossom cake, thousand layer cakes, fried dough sticks, tofu brain casserole, malatang, fried small cages, etc., sweet, salty, spicy and sour, there are various flavors, and there is always one that is want to eat.

Everyone, look at this, look at that, you want to eat everything, and the children are crazy with joy. This is the paradise of their dreams.

Every booth was crowded with people.

The officials of the Ministry of Household who came to help were delighted to hear that this business was too good.

As expected of the handwriting of the county head of Qingping, she has never failed! pride!

Unconsciously, they and Mu Wanqing became a community of interests.

Mu Wanqing had already spoken. In the future, the officials of the household department would receive meals from the large dining hall on the first floor. One meal a day would be free.

They have already gone to see the dishes, and the delicious dishes exude a tempting aroma, which makes people greedy.

If you can't eat in, you can only pack it back to eat. That's just right. You can take it home and enjoy it with your family.

Looking at the price list, the breakfast is not expensive and there are many varieties. have never seen the food on the second and third floors before. can eat it every day in the future and be happy.

The first to third floors are civilian-oriented, while the fourth and fifth floors are more mid-range consumption, suitable for the rich.

A variety of restaurants with special flavors are full of praise.

As long as you have eaten it once, you will want to come back again. You can check in from family to family and enjoy it.

The eldest prince walked around both floors, not knowing what to choose. In the end, Mu Wanqing chose a western restaurant for him.

It is lighter and more suitable for children to eat.

She ordered a table of food, but the eldest prince was so happy that she tried everything. "Sister Qingping, the pasta and pizza fried chicken steak in this western restaurant are delicious, ah, another cake."

How can there be such delicious food? Ever since Sister Qingping came to the capital, the people of the capital have had good luck, hee hee, he has also had good luck.

Mu Wanqing took a fork and picked up a piece of beef and cheese pizza, "It's not good to try this occasionally, and it's not good to eat too much."

The eldest prince, who has never eaten junk food, can't resist this temptation, "Sister Qingping, give me these secret recipes, okay? I'll exchange the treasure in the warehouse with you."

Although he is a child, the small treasury is quite rich, and there are a lot of gifts given by the elders every year.

Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing at this little guy, "I'll give the recipe to your royal father, and your father said that you can eat it, so you can eat it."

The eldest prince is a sensible and good boy, and he doesn't insist, "Okay, what do you like, sister? I have something good for you in the future."

This time he gave an ancient painting as a gift, and don't know if she likes it or not.

Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes and took out a gold coin, "I like this."

The eldest prince was stunned, her liking was so... "Don't you feel tacky?"

"Tacky? How can it be? It just means that aesthetics are not good." Mu Wanqing held her chin with a look of longing, "You think, how beautiful is a whole wall of gold bricks, golden, it is the most beautiful color in the world."

The corner of the eldest prince's mouth twitched, "You actually love money."

He has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he has been a phoenix egg with all the stars holding the moon since he was a child. He was born with everything, and has no concept of money.

Mu Wanqing was very calm, "Yes, I just love money, who doesn't love it? Money is the foundation of a person or a country's self-improvement and independence. If you don't have money, how can you equip the army? How do you buy food and grass? How do you fight wars?"

Hearing what she said, the eldest prince put away his smile and listened seriously. The father said that he should learn more from the head of Qingping County.

Mu Wanqing would not hold him, nor would he reason with him, but would only express her own opinions, and it was hard to say whether he could listen.

"It's not shameful to talk about money, it's shameful to be arrogant."

The eldest prince had never seen such a person who said that he loved money so frankly, and the people around him looked like money as dung. "I don't know."

Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "It's that he clearly loves money, but he dislikes it, and makes others beg him to accept it."

She described it so vividly that the eldest prince couldn't help spraying, "Shameless."

"Yeah, it's shameless." Mu Wanqing knew very well the emperor's intention to let her contact the eldest prince, and hoped that she could bring the eldest prince a different life experience and a positive outlook.

As for knowledge and skills, it doesn't matter, his subordinates will do it, who would expect him to do it himself?

"Of course, there must be a bottom line in everything, and the same is true of loving money, and ill-gotten gains can't be wanted."

The eldest prince moved in his heart, "Have you ever received ill-gotten wealth before?"

After the scene was quiet, Mu Wanqing didn't seem to notice, "Yes, the former King of Jin wanted to bribe me with money. I just didn't do anything with the money, and turned around and donated the money."

The eldest prince was stunned. didn't expect you to be such a Qingping county owner. It's a little shameless.

Well done, hahaha.

Mu Wanqing also came to Versailles, "Making money is a very simple thing for me. I am obsessed with the process of making money, and I am obsessed with golden gold, but more money is data, and it is meaningless."

The palace maids and guards hidden in the dark: ...too frustrating! Extraordinary!

The eldest prince understands her quite a bit. He doesn't usually need money, and he only has gifts from others.

"What does it mean to you, then?"

Mu Wanqing pondered for a while, "Everyone can eat and clothe themselves, teach the young, support the old, help the weak, get medical care for the sick, and live in." Note (1)

It was not the first time that the First Prince heard similar words, but every time he heard it, he had a different feeling. "It's hard."

"It's just because it's difficult, it's challenging." Mu Wanqing already has wealth and power, and has the achievements of others who have struggled for a lifetime.

If you are poor, you will be alone. If you are successful, you will help the world. People should always pursue something in their lives. How boring otherwise.

The eldest prince admires immensely, this is the demeanor of a famous minister.

The turnover of the food court exploded on the first day, reached a high point on the second day, and peaked on the third day. Although it was a 50% discount for these three days, it still made a lot of money.

One month later, when the business report was handed over to the imperial court, everyone in the courtroom was stunned. This profit is going to heaven.

This food court is so profitable, it's faster than stealing money.

The Ministry of Household is even more rejoicing. This industry is under the name of the Ministry of Household. Not to mention free meals, it is said that this political achievement is appropriate.

The little officials were even happier. When recruiting helpers, the family members of these little officials were given priority. They could have two taels of silver a month.

If you have money at home, you can improve your life, buy more rice, build an extra room, and send your children to school. The family is happy for a while.

Therefore, these people are most grateful to Mu Wanqing, and they can't wait to give her a longevity card.

However, there are also unhappy people.

The second assistant stood up and acted as a demon again, "Your Majesty, this minister believes that everything must be fair, and the officials of the household department can enjoy a free working meal, why can't the other five departments? Harmful and not helpful."

What he said was sanctimonious, and his henchmen came out to help one after another, "The minister agreed that the six ministries should treat them equally, not special."

To put it bluntly, everyone was jealous.

"The food court is owned by the court, not the private property of the household. The minister believes that it should be treated fairly, either all or none."

The emperor was noncommittal and looked at Mu Wanqing, "Qingping county magistrate, what do you say?"

Mu Wanqing hadn't spoken yet, when the second assistant opened his mouth to kidnap morally, "Qingping county magistrate, you are so kind and generous, you definitely don't want to see chaos in the court because of you, they all serve as officials in the same court, and you must live in harmony. get along."

"Missing?" Mu Wanqing raised her bright eyes and stabbed the knife with a smile, "Because I am too capable and you are too incompetent, do you want me to help the poor?"

If it is discussed well, everything is easy to talk about, but these big men don't want to bow their heads to her, blindly suppress her, and they want to take advantage of her, what are they thinking of?

The Minister of Industry became angry, "How did you talk? Do you know how violent the officials below are? They are all complaining..."

It puts a lot of pressure on them.

"Our household department doesn't have it, everyone is happy." Mu Wanqing frowned, and bluntly fell into the trap, "I'm not telling you, it's not enough to just pick peaches all day long, it's better to gather the whole department to do it. A earned industry, let everyone see, you are not a corpse, an inactive waste."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was brooding, "Making money is the responsibility of the Ministry of Households."

It stands to reason that those workshops should be under the name of the Ministry of Industry, which is his political achievement, but Mu Wanqing took the lead and became the industry of the Ministry of Household.

He didn't think about it, those workshops were all created by Mu Wanqing, why did they hand them over to you as a political achievement?

Mu Haqing is not used to them, not the prince, but has the prince's disease.

"Then do you admit that you are inactive waste?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was very angry, "You...you are a second-rank high-ranking official. You must have an overall view, and you must share your worries for the court and the king."

"I'm not in my position, I'm not in charge of politics. I'm the Minister of the Household, and I only seek benefits for my department." Mu Wanqing curled her lips, "How easy it is to make money, why can't you do it? No, what is it? Can't you? Still don't want to?"

She has a face, the money is so easy to earn, what is there to discuss, a group of hot chickens wasting her time, but it made everyone angry.

The second assistant glanced at the right servant of the Tobu Department and winked, but the right servant of the Tobu Department seemed to be blind and did not respond at all.

Don't be kidding, he and Mu Wanqing had the same interests in this matter.

If he helped Jisuke, he would be torn to shreds by the officials below.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was very angry, "It doesn't make sense to you, a woman, a woman, and a child. Women just care about everything and don't know the general situation."

Mu Wanqing snorted coldly, "Okay, I'll let people go to the major teahouses to promote it. You said that your mother, your grandmother and grandmother are fussing about everything and don't know the general situation, you are an unfilial son."

"You...you..." The Minister of Industry was blushing and trembling all over.

At this moment, the chief of the chamberlain asked to see each other, and all the officials looked at each other, what happened in the harem? Calculate the time, the queen should be born.

The chief servant came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is born."

When the scene was quiet, Duke Cheng was the first to react, and he was ecstatic, "You're born? Great, I have a grandson, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

There was a hint of joy on the emperor's face, "Is it a prince or a princess?"
