Chapter 321

The opening of the library caused a sensation in the whole city, especially those readers who were excited to tell the story.

Everyone can enter, but there are two rules, one has to keep quiet and keep clean.

Two, do not destroy or soil the books.

Scholars straightened their clothes and hair, held their issued numbers, and lined up to enter the library with a pilgrimage-like mood. There were two reading rooms on the first floor, with neat rows of tables and chairs, and clean and bright glass windows.

The bright sun shone in and shone on the body, which was indescribably comfortable.

There are newspapers and newspapers for everyone to read, and the green plants by the window are lush and vibrant.

The second floor to the fifth floor are full of books. There are many categories. Many books have not been unpacked. There is a row of empty chairs by the window.

The scholars found a book they liked and sat by the window, looking hungry.

You can read all the books, some are out-of-print books that are not available in the world.

But if you want to take it out, you have to get a library card with your identity and address on it, and you need to pay a deposit.

Of course, as long as you return the book properly, your deposit will be refunded.

If you are tired and thirsty from reading, you can order a cup of tea and a few plates of snacks to rest.

The taste of the dim sum in the library is unparalleled. The price is not cheap, but it is not expensive either.

If it's time for dinner, you can go to the cafeteria on the sixth floor for a light meal.

The price of civilians, the taste is not bad, the key is to be clean and hygienic and save time.

In this way, the income and expenditure are balanced, and there is no need to add money to it.

Many people are here to fill their stomachs casually and hurriedly go back to read.

As for scholars from poor backgrounds, unflavored steamed buns are allowed, and the library provides boiled water for free.

There are free books to read, which is the dream of countless scholars. Everyone can't wait to spend here every day, reading books without eating, drinking or sleeping.

If you come across a book you like, you can book it with the library, or you can transcribe a copy yourself.

The scholars are grateful to the Qingping County Master. These are books treasured by dignitaries and nobles, but they are allowed to read and copy for free. This is a great favor.

In the past, precious books were monopolized by the upper echelons, and some people never saw such precious books in their entire lives. How can people not be grateful?

The library is always overcrowded, and there are no empty seats, so just sit on the floor, and you have to get the number in advance every day to limit the number of people.

Of course, borrowing books to read at home is no problem.

Even the non-local scholars heard about this and rushed to the capital to rent a house, hoping to borrow more books to read.

On this day, Mu Wanqing happened to pass by something and went in to take a look.

She dressed very low-key, and everyone's mind was on the books, so they didn't notice her coming.

She glanced at the first floor and found an interesting phenomenon. The reading room on the south side was full of women, and the reading room on the north side was full of men.

Is this something they negotiated on their own?

This is a big improvement.

An old peasant whose clothes were all patches and his face was weathered stood at the door and did not dare to go in. He only dared to inquire with the staff on duty guarding the door.

"My lord, I..."

A scholar walked in from the outside and was immediately annoyed when he saw this scene.

A look of fear appeared on the old farmer's face, and he quickly turned around and walked out, but was stopped by the staff on duty.

"The library is open to people all over the country, including people from all walks of life, and old farmers can also enter."

She looked at the scholar, "If you are dissatisfied, you can choose to leave."

Most of the library staff are women, who are responsible for sorting books, and half are men, who are responsible for carrying and doing rough work.

These staff have received professional training before opening, and they all follow the rules.

The scholar was unhappy, and wanted to argue with the staff, but the staff pointed to the slogan on the side, and shouted away in the library, not allowing them to come in again.

The scholar had to shut up and ran into the reading room sullenly.

Then the staff looked at the old farmer with a smile, "This old man, what do you want to say?"

Her tone was gentle and gave the old farmer great encouragement, "I heard that books can be borrowed for free here. I want to...borrow a few agricultural books for farming, okay?"

The attitude of the staff was very good, "Yes, the agricultural book is on the second floor, I will lead you up."

The old peasant refused to go in. He was illiterate and asked the staff to choose him.

After a while, the staff came over with books in hand, "Can the three books, "The Book of Fansheng", "Qi Min Yao Shu", and "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", be okay? Only three books can be borrowed for free at a time for a period of one month. If you still want to borrow it, you have to go through the renewal procedures."

The old farmer was very excited, "Okay, just these few books, thank you very much."

While going through the formalities, a scholar came over curiously, "Are you literate?"

"No, but the baby in the family can read." When he said this, the old peasant looked proud, "My eldest granddaughter comes first in the exam every year, and the family plans to let her go to middle school and university. As long as she can pass the exam, she will pay for it."

The staff couldn't help laughing, "That's great. If you go to middle school, you can find a job like me, and you can definitely become a female official in college."

More and more women are appearing in all walks of life. Everyone has come to see it, and accept the reality calmly.

It's not okay to not accept it, this is the general trend.

The old farmer's simple face was full of happy smiles.

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly on the side, which was one of the reasons why she opened the library.

Hopefully, more and more people will learn useful knowledge and change their destiny.

She didn't stay long, and after a few glances, she turned around and went to the prosperous palace.

This is the first top-notch real estate in Beijing, and it is the best possible level of existing technology. Both the layout and the decoration are perfect, and the community is picturesque, like being in a park.

It stands to reason that if you want luxury, you should build a villa community, but after thinking about it, she still gave up this plan.

What she created is a trend-setting trend and a model.

The gate is heavily guarded, and only residents of the community can enter, even relatives must obtain the consent of the residents to enter.

After entering the community, there are three steps and one post, with patrols.

Each building is guarded by a layer of security guards. These security guards are the personal strength of the residents, which makes them feel at ease.

In other words, if you live here, the privacy is excellent, and there is no problem with the safety factor.

Mu Wanqing took down the entire building and lived on the fifth floor by herself, while the rest was prepared for her parents and brothers.

The first floor was completely converted into a servant's room.

The house here has been sold, and there is no one.

The courtiers who usually cry about being poor are quick to buy a house.

Just buy a few less old paintings.

Mu Wanqing was meeting with people from the Ministry of Industry today, and she took everyone around the community.

Officials above the fourth rank have been here, but the ones below have not, all of them are looking straight.

The Minister of Workers asked softly, "Master Qingping, do you think this model can be replicated?"

They never thought that the house could be built like this before, and they could still live like this.

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Yes, let's practice with Beicheng first, and come to an urban area for renovation."

Building a house is the work of the Ministry of Works, and she has no intention of intervening.

The Minister of Industry was very interested, "How do you say it?"

"Have you all been to Beicheng? The environment is not so bad." Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "I was thinking, can I take over the land of the poor people, send them a set of residential houses, and then give them some resettlement? In this way, the urban area has been renovated, and the living conditions of the people have also been improved. The Ministry of Industry can also make some money.”

The Ministry of Industry officials looked at her as if they were looking at a monster, which was incredible.

The Minister of Industry suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, "How is this possible? This house is worth 10,000 yuan. How much can a poor house be worth?"

"Let's change our thinking." These people were not stupid, but were fixed by the old model, and Mu Wanqing patiently guided them.

"This floor has more than 200 square meters. If it is small, it will be 30 square meters for one bedroom and one hall, 50 square meters for two bedrooms and one hall, and 70 square meters for three bedrooms and two halls. In this way, a six-story building can live in Thirty-six families, how many families are counted as 30 buildings in a community?"

Many poor families are crowded into dilapidated houses of more than ten square meters, and it is uncomfortable to watch.

"1080." Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry has strong mental arithmetic ability.

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "What if there were ten communities?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. This seems to work. It is not profitable to exchange rooms for houses, but it is convenient for management, which is regarded as a political achievement.

But how to make a profit? Never lose money.

Mu Wanqing felt that such a building would be very popular. "There is no need to have so many security guards in the community. It only needs two at the gate. The greening and supporting facilities are cut off, and the rough cement room is used, so the cost will come down."

The requirements of ordinary people are not high, the rough cement room is clean, there are large glass windows, and a separate kitchen and bathroom are hundreds of times stronger than dilapidated houses.

"We will build a commercial street outside the community, and if all the shops are sold, we can recover a little of the cost. Second, this street can meet the living needs of the residents nearby and create jobs."

"Who will buy it?" The Minister of Industry was not very optimistic.

"There are always people with discerning eyes. When the community is full of people and becomes popular, it will naturally rise up." Mu Wanqing said in a straightforward manner, "I suggest that half of the houses be demolished and the other half sold to the outside world, which will not lose money. already."

It is not easy to live in the capital. There are dozens of families living in a large courtyard, some of them renting houses.

"Just tell me, people with some money are willing to buy such a house to live in?"

After being called by her so much, everyone's eyes lit up, and the little official expressed his willingness to buy a set of housing.

Renting a house is worse than buying a house like this, mainly because it is convenient and worry-free.

This way it is not a loss.

"When there are more people, we can also build school pharmacy and other supporting facilities to drive popularity." Mu Wanqing simply said a few more words, "And for the extra land, we can cooperate with businessmen to develop it. They will pay for it. When we go out, this is not a white wolf with empty gloves."

"We can still sell the land, we'll talk about that later."

The Ministry of Industry official listened even more eagerly. She suddenly stopped talking. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry moved her lips, but she swallowed the words.

Forget it, then later.

These alone are enough for them to digest for a long time.

She is young, how can she have so many good ideas for making money in her head?

It can only be said that it is a talent.

Mu Wanqing is looking forward to it, "It can also drive the construction and wood industry, raw materials, furniture, decoration, dental shops, property and other industries, and absorb a large number of labor forces. With money, these people have spending power, promoting various aspects. development of."

The Minister of Industry was enthralled by what she said, "Qingping County Master, you are so good at talking, I was successfully persuaded by you."

I originally wanted to replicate a high-end residential area, but now I think it is more interesting and fulfilling to renovate the old area.

This is a great deed that will benefit the people, and he also wants to do something that will last forever.

"Hahaha, in fact, this has nothing to do with me. Your Ministry of Industry has made political achievements." Mu Wanqing is from the Ministry of Household, and the money has to come from her. "I still feel bad about money."

The Minister of Industry was silent and had to admit that she was a good official who thought about the people.

She has all kinds of means, but she cares about the people and is dedicated to the welfare of the people.

In this way, the Ministry of Industry first made a plan and took it to the court for discussion. After repeated discussions, the emperor finally made the decision and first marked an area for experimentation.

As one of the elders of the pavilion, Mu Wanqing voted in favor.

"Retreat." The eunuch chief shouted, and everyone left.

Mu Wanqing hurriedly called the Minister of Labor, "Sir, I'll give you a present."

The emperor withdrew his footsteps, and the officials also withdrew their footsteps toward the outside, and looked at them in unison.

The Minister of Industry was flattered, and she never gave gifts to anyone except the royal family.

They have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and they haven't even received a New Year's gift, okay?

Mu Wanqing clapped her palms, and the two guards came in with a large package.

The Minister of Industry was eager to try, "Can I watch it now?"

"Look." Mu Wanqing raised her hand, and the guard opened the package.

Hey, what is this? Fragmented, messy.

Mu Wanqing stood still, while the two guards neatly arranged things.

After a while, a real estate sand table appeared, lifelike.

Everyone swarmed around, "What is this?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry had already understood it, and he squatted on the ground and watched intently, "It's a residential area. Thank you, Lord Qingping. I like this gift very much."

With this sand table, it is much more convenient to communicate with the people.

It was Mu Wanqing's brain that worked well.

Mu Wanqing specially made a model, the layout is clear at a glance, and each building is marked.

"It's not the same as the Prosperity Palace, but the shape is okay." The emperor also gathered around, "But isn't the house too small?"

Mu Wanqing pointed to another location, "It's not too small, come and take a look at these room molds."

"This is a three-bedroom and one-bedroom, 70 square meters, with independent kitchen and bathroom, two south-facing rooms, and a small north-facing room, enough for a family of seven or eight people."

"The master bedroom is for the elders, and the second bedroom is for a boy and a girl. It's enough."

Someone couldn't help but interject, "Some haven't split up yet."

"Then buy the whole floor, and live in one for one room." Mu Wanqing hesitated for a while, "But it's better to break it up to facilitate management."

Everyone looked at each other, they all understood, they understood.

"Qingping County Master, you can come and give us some pointers when you are free." This time, the Minister of Industry was convinced, "Why don't you be a consultant for us."

"I'm not free." Mu Wanqing has done everything she should do, and it's time to move on to the next project. "Let the left servant of our household be an advisor, he will follow him all the way."

The Minister of Industry thinks about it, this is fine.

In this way, the Ministry of Industry vigorously carried out the renovation of the old city.

Mu Wanqing no longer paid attention to this one. She stared at the customs tariff in front of her for a long time, then got up and went to see the emperor.

Her first sentence was, "Your Majesty, can I see the map of the sea area?"

The emperor looked at her fixedly, "What's your idea?"

"Is it okay?" Mu Wanqing didn't say the reason, it was just a guess.

The emperor rubbed her eyebrows, and she was about to start acting as a demon again.

However, she was reluctant to reject her, she could make a new world every time, and the money rolled in.

"I want to think about it."

"Okay." Mu Wanqing didn't insist, "Then I'll take a vacation and go to the nearby mountains and play in the water."

As soon as she heard that she was going to go out, several princesses immediately ran over and asked to go together.

This frightened Mu Wanqing, she turned her head and ran away without saying a word.

What are you kidding, how can you fly with the princess?

Who's to blame?

As soon as she left the palace, she saw Mu Ji anxiously standing beside the carriage, "Patriarch, Brother Zicheng has been entangled, go and see."

Mu Wanqing: ...? ? ? How could someone dare to pester her big brother?

Imperial Bank Headquarters

Every day there will be long queues waiting to do business, people come and go, and it is always so lively.

Today, everyone is out of business, craned their necks to watch the fun.

A gorgeously dressed noble girl wrapped her whole body around Mu Zicheng, "brother Zicheng, I really love you, I just want to be with you without asking for a title."

Mu Zicheng's face was blue, and he couldn't pull off the dead skin plaster. The security guards were stopped by several strong men and could not get in.

"Our Mu clan's clan rules, only forty children can take concubines, I already have sons and daughters."

"Then you stop your wife and marry again? Forget it, I won't embarrass you, I'll be your equal wife, this is not against your clan rules." The girl squeaked, "We're all like this, don't you want to be responsible? ?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, as excited as chicken blood.

A cool voice sounded, "How is it? Are you asleep?"

Mu Zicheng was shocked, as excited as he saw a savior, "no, absolutely not, sister, help me quickly."

He had never seen such a entanglement, he couldn't run away no matter what, and he was particularly shameless.

With a wave of Mu Wanqing's small hand, the guards beside her rushed up and cleared everyone who was blocking the way.

Tear the young woman off Mu Zicheng's body again, that's ripping!

Mu Zicheng ran over, hid behind Mu Wanqing, wiped the sweat on his forehead, scared to death.

Mu Wanqing took a few glances at the young girl, it was an unfamiliar face, "Who is this?"

"I am the Lord of Zhaoyang County, my mother is Princess Liuyun, and my father is General Yuan." The young woman has a beautiful face, and her eyebrows are full of pride, "You are brother Zicheng's sister, That is my own sister, and I will cover you in the future."

Mu Wanqing: ...

It turned out that she was the Princess Zhaoyang. She came back to visit her relatives and sent a message to the emperor, but the emperor was too busy and did not take time to summon him for the time being.

"Ling Zun has been stationed in the southeastern coastal area for many years, with outstanding military exploits and great reputation. Don't ruin his good reputation."

The Yuan family is the overlord of one party, stationed in the southeast for generations, the late emperor deliberately married the princess in order to attract people's hearts.

It's too far away. Every time the housekeeper comes to the capital to deliver things, the Yuan family has never returned to Beijing...

No, the county owner came back to the capital, but came to entangle mu Zicheng?

This is not normal, so abnormal.

Zhaoyang County advocated Yangji, "We southeastern women dare to love and hate, I have a crush on your brother and want him to be my county horse."

Mu Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly and asked calmly, "Then do you know who he is?"

"I know, mu Zicheng, who is in charge of the bank." Zhaoyang County's words changed, "no, he is in charge of the bank."

Mu Wanqing gave her a deep look, "Zhaoyang County Lord, find a place to talk."

The normal answer is that he is the eldest brother of the Qingping County Lord.

"OK."

A group of people disappeared at the entrance of the stairs, everyone sighed in disappointment, and there was no lively watching.

However, there is enough to talk about, go home and share with friends and family.

The love-hate relationship between the elder brother of Qingping County and Zhaoyang County is quite interesting.

Entering the VIP room, Mu Wanqing waved everyone away, leaving Zhaoyang County Master and Mu Zicheng behind.

The house of the Zhaoyang County Lord refused to leave, and was dragged out by the guards.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

The princess of Zhaoyang looked at mu Zicheng affectionately, "I said, I like mu Zicheng, so I'll go ask the emperor to marry him."

Mu Zicheng got goosebumps all over, "sister, I don't like her, I didn't mess around."

What to say about falling in love with him at first sight, if you don't marry him, the brain-dead girl is so scary.

Mu Wanqing lazily leaned back on the chair, "Stop pretending, to be honest, no one outside dares to eavesdrop."

Zhaoyang County Lord was stunned for a moment, "I don't understand what you mean."

Mu Wanqing said lightly, "Women from an aristocratic family have been memorizing genealogy since childhood, and have a certain understanding of every big family, and even the most sloppy daughter of a daughter will have easy access to each family's network of connections. This is a must for every child of an aristocratic family. homework."

"Your mother is Princess Liuyun, so she will naturally teach you this. Before returning to Beijing, it is also a must to inquire about the situation in Beijing. The name of my Qingping County Master is known to everyone in the capital, and Mu Zicheng is me. Brother, this is well known, how could such important information be missed?"

In fact, in the eyes of Zhaoyang County Lord, there is no love, it is more like a performance.

She was naturally suspicious, "Or rather, it's not that I missed it, but come to find me specifically, my brother is just a stepping stone."

Zhaoyang County Lord's pupils enlarged uncontrollably.

She guessed right, Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, "Tell me, why did you use such an extreme method?"

"You are smarter than I thought." Zhaoyang County Master put away the color of nympho, her gorgeous face was full of indifference, this is her true face. "You passed my test."

Mu Zicheng: ... Grass is a kind of plant.

Is he a tool for assessment?

"You deliberately ruin my reputation and deceive people too much."

Zhaoyang County Lord's eyes were slightly sullen, "I actually really want to marry into the Mu family, Qingping County Lord, you are so smart to guess the reason, and there is a prize for your guess."

Is this another test? Mu Wanqing's mind turned away, "It's nothing more than love and hatred, love, don't see it, cross it out."

She took out a pen and paper, listed several items, and crossed them out one by one.

"Hate? Our Mu family and Yuan family don't know each other. Where does the hatred come from?"

"Do you want to be rich? The people stationed on one side are not short of money, you are the county owner, your parents are top dignitaries, and your family background is noble."

Mu Wanqing stroked her forehead and sighed, "Then, there is only one possibility."

Zhaoyang County Master picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if to hide something. "what?"

Mu Wanqing closed her eyes and spit out two words with difficulty, "Avoid disaster."

This was the last thing she wanted to guess. The deep-seated reason behind her being able to contaminate a girl with such a noble status to avoid disaster was shuddering.

"Bangdang." The sound of the teacup falling to the ground sounded.

The faces of the three present changed their faces, oh, it's a big deal.
