    Chapter 320

    The emperor's mouth twitched, feeling a little tired. He learned everything from Mu Wanqing, and also learned to speak.

    Forget it, as long as he learns half of Mu Wanqing's scheming tactics, he doesn't have to worry that he can't support the empire of Nuoda.

    Mu Wanqing quickly set up a printing factory and printed a large number of enlightenment books with lightning speed and sent them to schools all over the country.

    These schools are responsible for compulsory education for all, and these books are used.

    I didn’t have one copy for everyone before. The price of this book is very expensive. Most of it is copied by myself. Whether the writing is good or not is one thing. The four treasures of the study don’t need money?

    Now, the price of this book is one-fifth of the previous price. It's ridiculously cheap, and it's a loss if you don't buy it.

    Naturally, it was sold out and in short supply.

    Before everyone could react, she had already made a lot of money.

    When the price of the new issue of the princess's newspaper was very low, and the sales skyrocketed, everyone noticed the difference and inquired about it one after another.

    Only then did they know that Mu Wanqing and the eldest princess opened a printing factory and printed a lot of enlightenment books.

    Everyone deliberately bought a copy and found that the typesetting pages are smoother than before, the fonts are clearer, and the reading sense is better.

    But looking at the price, I am, it's so cheap? It's not scientific.

    No, everyone gathered around Mu Wanqing to inquire about the news, but Mu Wanqing just said implicitly, to ask the emperor and explain that it belongs to the emperor.

    Crowd: ...

    The emperor: ... what are you waiting for?

    While waiting for the rest, Mu Wanqing took her people around the city.

    The east is rich and the west is expensive, the south is cheap and the north is poor. These eight characters summarize the layout of the capital.

    Dongcheng is a wealthy area, the houses are connected together, magnificent, and the roads are spacious and clean. There are many official residences of princes and nobles in Xicheng, and the security is excellent.

    The houses in Nancheng were dilapidated, short and narrow, and looked like dilapidated houses. The hygiene conditions were worrying, and there were insects and ants everywhere.

    The Beicheng is a slum, and the conditions are even worse. There are houses built in disorder everywhere, the roads are blocked and it is difficult to walk, and sewage is everywhere.

    The poor people looked at Mu Wanqing and her group cautiously, their eyes shrinking in fear.

    The children were all dirty and looked at them curiously.

    Mu Wanqing looked around and frowned slightly, "Give the candy to the children."

    The subordinates took out the candy, and the children's eyes lit up, but they were too timid to approach.

    "Come here."

    After talking several times, a daring child came over, and after getting two candies, the other children immediately gathered around.

    Mu Wanqing asked the question in her heart, "Didn't you go to school?"

    Some children look seven years old.

    No one dared to answer, Mu Wanqing rubbed her brows and turned to a nearby elementary school. She learned from the teacher that these children were all in school, but they were fishing for three days and two days in the net. a quota.

    Some are scumbags and feel that reading is too hard.

    Some girls skip class and go home to do housework and take their younger siblings.

    Therefore, no matter how good the system is, it is wasted effort when it encounters people who do not cooperate.

    Not everyone will cherish this opportunity. Perhaps they have limited vision and do not realize how important this opportunity is.

    No matter how the government advertised and forced them to study, it was time to run away.

    Mu Wanqing sighed softly, a little helpless.

    Even in modern times, many people who have not completed the nine-year compulsory education have slipped through the net.

    She spent a long time in Beicheng, and after returning, she went to the government to buy a piece of land, between Beicheng and Dongcheng.

    The official was a little embarrassed, "County Lord, these are owned by someone."

    Mu Wanqing did not embarrass him, "I know, I bought a room from them for 200 taels. I want to ask the government to come forward and post an announcement. I will pay for all the expenses."

    The official couldn't help but rejoice, "That's definitely willing, their house is not worth a hundred taels."

    The government posted an announcement, two hundred and two houses, willing to sign the contract.

    As soon as the news came out, the people in this area were all boiling, excitedly running to inquire about the situation, getting the exact news, and rushing to sign the contract.

    One hundred taels is enough for a new house, and one hundred taels is enough for a family to use for a long time.

    Mu Wanqing only sent a few subordinates over, paying the money in one hand and holding the land deed in the other, and everyone cooperated very well.

    After a month, Mu Wanqing ate all the land, and she didn't sit still, so she drew a plan.

    The prince ran over curiously, "Sister, why are you buying land?"

    Mu Wanqing asked people to bring some refreshments and invited the little prince to eat, and then she said, "Rebuild and create a brand new template."

    The prince understands every word, but he doesn't understand it together.

    "I knocked down all these and rebuilt it, and built a building that integrates residential entertainment and leisure, and set it as a benchmark." Mu Wanqing is just a proof, so that everyone can see the benefits and promote the rise of the real estate industry.

    Now there are construction teams helping others to build houses, but it has not yet reached a scale, and they have no detailed planning. They make money when they have money.

    Besides, the healthy development of the real estate industry can also improve the lives of poor people.

    What she does is proofing, making templates, and letting everyone follow her plan.

    Mu Wanqing took out the blueprint. After the prince saw it, he was completely stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief, what else?

    It consists of twenty-nine residential buildings and a living plaza with dozens of storefronts to ensure the basic needs of residents.

    What shocked him the most was that there was actually a library! A five-story library!

    Mu Wanqing discovered that there were no libraries open to the public these days. How could this work?

    "Yes, I want to build a library to collect all the books in the world for everyone to borrow for free."

    The prince was stunned, "Everyone?"

    Mu Wanqing made money to spend, "Yes, everyone, regardless of gender, age, or child, this is a public welfare project."

    The prince said subconsciously, "You will lose money."

    Mu Wanqing had a magnanimous heart, "Take it from the people and use it for the people. Standing at a high place, you must take the corresponding responsibility, and you can't just look at the profit."

    "Sister, you are this." The prince gave her a thumbs up, preferring sister Qingping.

    "Are you doing it in your own name?"

    Mu Wanqing wanted the government to preside over it, but the government couldn't do it. "Well, do you want to join?"

    The prince nodded impatiently, "Yes, yes."

    Mu Wanqing has a lot of money, so she recruited several construction teams to start work together, and each construction team contracted a piece.

    She is responsible for the acceptance, and if there is any unqualified part, it must be re-made.

    She has enough money, and she is a high-ranking official, who dares to play tricks under her nose?

    The whole project is surrounded by cloth, and people around are very curious, what exactly is being built?

    Finally, the day of construction came.

    Mu Wanqing invited the emperor and Baiguan to watch the ceremony, and everyone was on time for the appointment, and they felt itchy.

    "Thank you for coming, I won't say more, let's unveil it."

    With an order, all the cloth covering the surrounding area of ​​the project was removed, revealing the buildings inside.

    "Oh my God." Many officials were stunned, even the emperor who had seen the drawings was stunned for a moment. The moment he saw the finished product with his own eyes, he was greatly shocked.

    Twenty-nine buildings are neatly arranged, with beautiful shapes, spacious and clean roads, and lush greenery in the community.

    The community also has children's play facilities and a running track.

    A small red building is different. When you enter it, it is a very beautifully decorated hall.

    "This is a leisure and entertainment area specially built for the residents. The first floor is a reading room, the second floor is a leisure bar, there is food and drink, the third floor is a gym, the fourth floor is a variety of learning and talent rooms, and the fifth floor is a bathhouse. There are two areas for men and women.”

    Each floor is designed with a special style, which makes people linger.

    "It looks pretty good, does it cost a fee?"

    "Yes, there is an operation center." Mu Wanqing raised her hand, "I will show you the residence."

    The door is opened, and the exquisite hall comes into view. The marble is matched with the glazed lamps, which is magnificent.

    The stairs are also paved with marble, and welcome guests respectfully welcome them into the model room on the second floor.

    Everyone who entered took a deep breath and their eyes widened.

    The luxurious yet warm decor is unprecedented, like entering a whole new world.

    The house is very large, with more than 200 square meters and a whole floor. It has a modern light luxury style. The furniture is all matching milky white color, and it is very beautiful with a pink sofa.

    The eldest princess fell in love at first sight, "Ah, I like it so much, Sister Qingping, how can I sell this house? I want two sets! The top and bottom are connected, I live on the top, and the servants live on the bottom."

    Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "Didn't the prince say anything? He contracted the king of this building."

    It is said to be one building, but it is actually five sets of large flat floors.

    The prince looked proud. This was a project he supervised throughout the whole process. From scratch, everything was novel.

    Everything in this community is the best, a benchmark.

    "Big sister, it's impossible to have two sets. The three sisters have one set each, and the father one set. It's good to come and live occasionally."

    "Then I want this." The eldest princess' eyes were shining, not only good, she felt much more comfortable than the palace.

    Although not as luxurious as the palace, everything is so beautiful and completely in line with her aesthetic.

    Of course, some people may not like it.

    Mu Wanqing took them to visit a golden and luxurious house, which won praise from many people.

    Someone couldn't help but ask, "Qingping County Master, how can I sell this house?"

    Although it's a bit small, with only five rooms, it's not as good as my own large mansion, but it's okay to buy it for the children and grandchildren of the branch family.

    The building is more comfortable to live in, and it is also equipped with heating.

    Mu Wanqing directly quoted, "10,000 taels for a set, and an annual management fee of 1,000 yuan."

    Everyone was shocked, "This is too expensive."

    Mu Wanqing said with a smile, this is the grade.

    "Do you think it's worth 10,000 yuan to be a neighbor with the emperor, prince and princess? This management fee is for cleaning the community, cleaning the corridors, and responsible for patrolling. Every building has a butler. If you have any questions, you can ask the butler."

    In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that it is impossible for the emperor and the prince to live here.

    The princess doesn't have so many taboos.

    "This represents the most prestigious status and the top social circle. Those with a lower rank than yours are not eligible to buy." Mu Wanqing is the best at marketing, "By the way, the first one has the right to choose a house first. ."

    "You are too good at robbing money." The officials frantically complained, but what should be robbed still has to be robbed, even if you can't live it.

    There are people of the same grade, but you don't. It's embarrassing. It's said that it represents the status.

    The emperor just kept silent, but silence is also an attitude, that is, acquiescence.

    After a while, the 20 buildings were all looted, and they were all bought in several sets.

    Not enough money? It doesn't matter, you can take a mortgage, Mu Wanqing has already prepared it.

    The officials were pained and happy.

    The crown prince also laughed hard. He had earned all the money he invested, so let's just say, it's always right to hold the golden thighs of the Qingping County Lord.

    Mu Wanqing saw that everyone's consumption was almost done, and clapped her hands, "Come on, come on, the grand finale hasn't happened yet, come with me."

    Everyone looks at each other, what could be better?

    Mu Wanqing took everyone out of the community, walked for five minutes, and went around to the east, only to see a small building with a smooth shape standing in front of her eyes, and five big golden characters came into view.

    Qingping Library.

    This is the emperor's handwriting.

    There is an archway in front of the library, with four lines of big characters written on it, for the heaven and the earth, for the life and the people, for the sages of the past, and for the peace of the world. Note (1)

    It was written by the emperor himself, and the signature was the emperor's seal.

    At the beginning, everyone just felt that her holy family was too strong, making people envious and jealous.

    But when entered the library, was shocked by the vast library.

    Rows of bookshelves are full of books, still new.

    The officials rushed over excitedly. With so many books, who could resist the temptation?

    There are hundreds of schools of thought, four books and five classics, poetry and songs, historical biographies, travel notes, science and technology, medical books, astronomy and geography, etc., and there are tens of thousands of books.

    Everyone touched the book with the scent of ink, and they were reluctant to let go, as if they had fallen into an oil tank.

    Some out-of-print books that you have heard of but have not seen with your own eyes are so grandly placed on the bookshelf for people to pick up casually. This scene stimulates the hearts of officials.

    One official with sharp eyes and quick hands grabbed two books, the other official took a step too slowly, and said, "Lao Fang, don't be so greedy, we each have one book, and we will exchange it when the time comes."

    The official refused to let go and shed tears of happiness, "Sir, where did you get these two out-of-print books? I searched for years and couldn't find them."

    "Imperial Palace." Mu Wanqing cupped her hands at the emperor, "The emperor's grace, let me choose the seal that I like."

    The collection of books in the palace is as vast as a cloud, but the sun does not see the light of day.

    Except for those in the royal family who have the right to see it, no one else has this qualification.

    "It's rare for you to ask for grace, and I naturally agreed." The emperor was very satisfied with the environment. The floor-to-ceiling windows were bright, and the arrangement of the books seemed unusual.

    "Tell everyone, how do you plan to operate this library?"

    The author says:
