After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister Chapter 180

    Boss Pan couldn't help staring at Mu Wanqing, and exclaimed, "You... are you little brother Mu?"

    That smart and quirky little brother, he always remembered that the technology of tea bricks was given by little brother Mu.

    But, he is obviously a boy, and his background is mysterious.

    Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "Boss Pan, long time no see."

    "Plop." With a sound, the cup in Boss Pan's hand fell to the ground, his face full of astonishment.

    It's true!

    How is this possible? He has been dreaming.

    Mu Wanqing hadn't grown up at that time, she was indistinguishable and beautiful, without the slightest bit of smugness, and her demeanor was generous, who would doubt it?

    "Is it okay for me to dress up as a man? Most people can't see it."

    Boss Pan's mouth is so big that he can put a duck egg in it, "It's really you...why..."

    Mu Wanqing looked indifferent, "I just want to make some money."

    The reason is strong.

    When Boss Pan came out of the box, he was still confused, like a puppet.

    Guo Er smiled at him, patted his shoulder, and walked past him.

    Boss Pan regained his senses and grabbed his next door, "Guo Er, tell me quickly, what's going on? My head is like a paste now, so messy. "

    No way to think.

    He took Guo Er for a drink, okay, Guo Er didn't hide it from him, and simply explained the matter.

    Boss Pan was even more confused after hearing this.

    At the age of fourteen, he played around with them and played everyone with applause. He was an old man who didn't even notice it.

    "When did you know? Why didn't you tell me?"

    Guo Er couldn't help laughing, "I just want to see your face change live."

    It was a great comfort to see someone more stupid than him.

    Boss Pan:…

    This friend can't be asked!

    "She was still an exile then."

    "Yes, now she is the head of Qingping County, you don't have to feel too embarrassed, after all, that is not a mortal." Guo Er thought for a while, and revealed a little bit of wind, "She is even the prince of Northern Chu and Minister Xiwu dares to play, and can still retreat, what are you?"

    Boss Pan's eyes lit up, "Northern Chu Prince? Tell me what's going on?"

    "It's hard to say, anyway, I ordered her." Guo Er not only ordered cotton cloth, but also helped to rebuild a street with local specialties. He rented several stores and opened a Guo Er. A firm specializing in selling Jiangnan's local specialties.

    "I bought a house and a farm in Liangcheng, and I am still building a restaurant."

    The family originally disliked the border, but, unable to resist the temptation of cotton, they allocated some manpower and material resources and let him take care of it.

    The other brothers wished that he would stay in Liangcheng forever and not compete with them for the position of the head of the family, so they all contributed.

    “I plan to follow the main cotton planting in Qingping County.”

    Of course, he is not the only one who does this, Guo Er said, "The price of land in Liangcheng has risen, and it will rise again after the war."

    In the past, one acre of good land was three taels, but now it's five taels.

    One tael per mu of wasteland is now three taels, but even so, the wasteland is still rushing to buy.

    Businesses from all over the world come to bet, what if the bet wins?

    As soon as the merchants entered, the business of the restaurant, teahouse and inn exploded, and the surrounding business also rose.

    The unprecedented prosperity of Liangcheng was completely unaffected by the war.

    All thanks to cotton.

    As long as you follow the rules when doing business in Liangcheng, there will be no mess, and the business environment is very good, which makes businessmen relieved.

    If you encounter an injustice, you can ask the government to solve it, keeping it efficient and useful, and you don't need to send money to bribe officials.

    Large and small workshops have opened, and there are more people working, and they are willing to spend with a few money on hand. This virtuous circle makes Liangcheng prosper.

    The snack street of the Mu family is even more lively, with customers coming like a cloud every day, and the supply is in short supply.

    An ordinary carriage made a circle in Liangcheng, and Du Shuai in the car just recovered from his injuries, and he couldn't help but come out for a spin.

    Streets lined with shops are full of traffic, bustling crowds, shoulder to shoulder, noisy and lively.

    Every face was smiling, calm and serene.

    These are the things that Du Shuai has always guarded.

    He couldn't help feeling, "This is different from the Liangcheng in my impression."

    He only remembered that the two main streets were lively, other than that, they were quite deserted. Ordinary people didn't go to the main streets very much, and things were expensive.

    As a son-in-law, Jiang Tongzhi went to accompany Du Shuai when he had nothing to do. No, he was pulled out by Du Shuai and wandered around on the street.

    "Since the head of Qingping County entered the Dusi Mansion, he has reclaimed wasteland and cultivated water conservancy, vigorously supported industry and commerce, and built workshops, in exchange for today's prosperity."

    This is a city that is not shrouded in the cloud of war, obviously impossible, but Mu Wanqing did it.

    Du Shuai frowned slightly, "Support industry and commerce?"

    The national policy of the Daqi Dynasty is to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and the status of businessmen is not high.

    Jiang Tongzhi naturally knew what he was thinking, "Don't worry, the head of Qingping County knows that agriculture will always come first, develop business on the basis of agriculture, and rely on each other. Grain and cloth It is a strategic material, and it is firmly in our own hands.”

    “Smoothing market prices, imposing heavy taxes on industrial and commercial enterprises, and the government taking full control of the economy are her strategies.” Note (1)

    In this way, the economy is booming, a lot of taxes come up, and the government has money.

    If you have money, you will open up wasteland, support agricultural development, and build large and small workshops. After a complete set of processes, the commercial, industrial, and agricultural troika will advance steadily.

    Du Shuai was relieved after this. He glanced at the pedestrians on the road and found that they were all wearing cotton-padded clothes. Although they were black, blue and gray, they were brand new.

    “How much does cotton cost?”

    Jiang Tongzhi knew this very well, "The most common cotton cloth is 100 yuan, and the cotton wool is 50 yuan per pound..."

    People go out to work, and the daily wages are at least 20 cents. That is to say, you can buy these after working for a few days, and there is not much pressure.

    "So cheap?" Du Shuai was a little surprised.

    Jiang Tongzhi nodded with a smile, "Yes, but the sale is restricted. A family can only buy five catties of cotton wool and two pieces of cloth with the household registration."

    This is a benefit for the residents of this city.

    Du Shuai calculated in his mind, one piece of cloth can do three bunts, "This is only enough for the whole family to wear cotton jackets and cotton pants, but not enough to make quilts."

    "This is also no way. The military is given priority, and the rest is supplied to the residents of the city at a fair price, and the few are sold in other places, so as to earn the cost back." Jiang Tongzhi couldn't help it. Thumbs up, "Qingping County is really good, she can make a lot of money."

    This is enough to prove that Mu Wanqing is an excellent ruler and a person with great feelings.

    "Buy more seeds from her, and we'll plant half of them next year." Du Shuai came out for a walk, because he wanted to make a memorial to the court, talk about Mu Wanqing's credit, and let the court Decide early.

    This matter dragged on for a long time, and the court did not pay attention to it and did not issue a formal appointment letter. I don't know what it meant.

    Jiang Tongzhi laughed, "Her seeds are quite expensive, but they are still in short supply. She can make a fortune by selling seeds."

    In the end, Mu Wanqing will not suffer anyhow.

    Du Shuai nodded slightly, Mu Wanqing was not a saint who only knew how to give without asking for anything in return.

    Is impeccable in business.

    "Hey, why is this street so clean?"

    Jiang Tongzhi chuckled, "Qingping County has set up garbage bins and public toilets on the side of the road, set up a cleaning team, is responsible for street cleaning, and also set up a bus."

    He pointed to a carriage speeding across from the opposite side, "Look, the bus is written on the carriage, which means that people can get on the bus with only a penny, and can take them to any place in the city. place."

    "Transfer stations are built next to the four city gates, and the ox carts and donkey carts entering the city are placed at the transfer stations."

    This will prevent livestock from pooping and urinating everywhere, making the streets dirty.

    Du Shuai:…

    "What about shipping?"

    "There is a special truck."

    Du Shuai felt that he didn't know Liangcheng anymore.

    "Let's go, go to Mujia Academy."

    Mu Family Academy, today is the graduation ceremony of the first batch of students, which is full of ceremony.

    The audience was full of students and their parents, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.

    The two young ladies of the Du family were also invited to watch the ceremony and brought their own children.

    Miss Du looked at the students in uniform, with some envy. Men and women were treated equally, and they put on an enlightened patriarch.

    "After this group of graduates leave, the academy will be deserted."

    Ms. Du Er was the vice president of the academy before, but now she has adjusted her work and has become the general manager of the Shuimu Farm wool workshop. The whole person is confident and has the demeanor of a professional woman.

    "How come? There are too many people who want to come in to study, and everyone is waiting for the Qingping county head to open the enrollment. It is said that they need to recruit a group of outstanding seedlings in the face of society."

    In the past, a group of children from powerful families have entered the academy, but the number of children is small.

    Here, no matter what your background is, you are a student, and learning knowledge is the first priority.

    If you don't study hard, you will make trouble here and be kicked out every minute.

    There are no privileges here, everyone believes in the strong, and Mu Wanqing is the strongest in everyone's heart, and worships the students.

    Miss Du's eyes swept to a familiar face, this is her husband's nephew, who can't make a fuss at home, a rebellious young man.

    But now, An An is sitting in the classmates, her face is very calm, like a different person.

    "By the way, how did the academy subdue these thorns?" There is no corporal punishment here, and it is impossible to beat and scold.

    "Internal volume." Miss Du Er said with a narrow smile, "Weekly exams, ten-ten-ten-ten exams, quarterly exams, the bottom of the three exams will be eliminated."

    I'm exhausted just by taking the exams, how can I still have time to do things?

    Miss Du:…

    Understood, the rebellious guy is also shameful. Even the parents and family members have no face.

    On the stage, Mu Wanqing smiled and looked at the stubble of leeks, oh no, the young boys and girls who have grown up.

    The students felt her gaze, their chests became higher, the dean looked at me, looked at me! I'm the best at it!

    Mu Wanqing delivered a warm and inspiring speech, which was very inspiring. The central idea was to work hard, strive to stand alone as soon as possible, and become the pride of the academy. I hope that their names can be engraved on the honor of the academy as soon as possible On the list, let all the younger brothers and sisters pay their respects.

    Received the graduation certificate from her, listening to her comments and affirmations of each graduate, the students were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes, and they could not wait to die for the dean.

    There is no better dean than her. She is worried about them. She knows everyone's situation like the back of the hand and provides targeted guidance.

    I also praised them as excellent talents.

    The atmosphere was extremely warm, and countless people were red-eyed, and even outsiders were infected, and their mood was agitated.

    Du Shuaiyin watched for a while in the dark, and I have to say that Mu Wanqing is also a good educator.

    Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded, "County Lord, something has happened, and there is an uprising in the Wei Palace."

    The whole audience was in an uproar.
