After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister Chapter 195

    Hu Shang sat in the warm hall and looked around curiously.

    It was the first time they had the fortune to enter such a place, and the energetic little girl from the past became the ruler of the Dusifu.

    I can't believe it.

    There are soft cakes, fragrant bread, and Chinese desserts such as lotus cakes and yam cakes.

    Hu Shang couldn't help but taste it. I have to say that the dim sum in Dusifu is delicious.

    Footsteps sounded outside, Hu Shang quickly put the dim sum back on the plate and wiped the corner of his mouth.

    “I have met the county magistrate of Qingping.”

    "Sit down." Mu Wanqing sat down directly in the main seat, full of momentum, making Hu Shang, who was opposite, nervous.

    She seemed to see their nervousness, and greeted them a few words with a gentle attitude.

    Hu Shang saw her smiling Yan Yan, kind and generous, not so tense, and gradually relaxed.

    Mu Wanqing drank a sip of tea, then the wind changed, "I wonder what good things you brought?"

    She asked them to collect more new things and bring her everything.

    Hu Shang brought four big bags over and wrote the serial number on the bags.

    He took a bag numbered 1, pulled out several boxes, and inside were cloth bags, which were well preserved.

    "You said you wanted seeds of fruits and vegetables, but we didn't know what seeds these were, so we bought some."

    Okay, Mu Wanqing couldn't recognize it after looking at it for a long time, so let's take it as opening the blind box, what is it.

    The second bag is a pile of books in foreign languages, Hu Shang smiled attentively, "You said, I want foreign travel and technology books, I have collected a lot."

    Mu Wanqing casually flipped through the books. It was about astronomy, physics, mathematics, chemistry, and geography.

    The most of them are mathematics, "The Elements of Geometry", "Tongwen Calculations", "The Great Test" and "Eight-Line Table of Cutting a Circle" are textbooks in European schools.

    In fact, she looked at her most blankly, "Can you understand?"

    Mu Wanqing put the book aside, "I don't understand, but some people understand, I like these books very much, thank you for your hard work."

    Hu Shang dared not ask too much, "You just like it."

    Hu Shang opened the remaining two bags again, and there were small bags inside, "These are the grain seeds collected from all over the place, and each place is different."

    Every time they go to a place, they will subconsciously buy a few.

    He deliberately took out a small bag and untied the tether, revealing the golden seeds.

    "This one is pearl rice, glutinous and sweet, very delicious."

    Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up, what pearl rice? Isn't this corn?

    Corn likes light but cannot tolerate shade, so it is suitable for planting in Xiliang. Most importantly, the yield is extremely high!

    In modern times, what does it mean to be able to produce thousands of kilograms per mu? More people can get enough to eat.

    I just don't know if the yield per mu can be prolific, but even if it is folded in half, it will be very good.

    Corn can be used as a staple food, can also be ground into flour to make snacks, produce cornstarch, dried noodles, etc., and can also be processed into alcohol.

    By the way, corn stalks can be made into silage, fed to war horses, and can also develop animal husbandry.

    For a moment, a lot of information flashed through her mind.

    "I accept all these things." Mu Wanqing waved her hand, and her entourage took out a stack of silver notes and handed it to the two of them.

    She has always been generous, but Hu Shang is not asking for these, "County Lord, we don't want money, we want to change some instant noodles, is it possible?"

    "Instant noodles?" Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, they were well informed.

    Instant noodles are always a hot seller.

    Also, some prisons also use instant noodles as hard currency, which shows their popularity.

    "Yes."

    Hu Shang was overjoyed and asked carefully, "We want to buy a lot."

    Mu Wanqing pondered for a while, "Exchange this pearl rice."

    Hu Shang was stunned for a moment, she likes it so much? "Uh, this is very far away, and it won't be transported here for a while."

    "It doesn't matter, I will send a caravan with you, and let them be responsible for transporting them back." Mu Wanqing had already thought about it, and formed a caravan to go out.

    Let Hushang take the area first, familiarize yourself with the route, and then venture out on your own.

    International trade has been the most profitable since ancient times.

    Exchange silk, tea, china for gold and silver jewelry, horses, medicines, and spices.

     She hopes that they can bring back the advanced technology and civilization outside.

    It would be better if you could get sweet potatoes and peppers.

    Hu Shang looked at each other and exchanged a wink, "Alright."

    "Then it's settled." Mu Wanqing was very happy.

    Seeing that she was in a good mood, Hu Shang boldly asked, "County Lord, we also want some wool and cotton."

    They went to the Mu's business to go around, there are a lot of good things, but unfortunately, they are all limited.

    "Wool thread is fine, cotton cloth is not." Mu Wanqing gave the answer directly, "We don't have enough use for ourselves. We will discuss this with the manager of Mu's Firm."

    Even so, Hu Shang was very satisfied, and he didn't make a trip in vain.

    As soon as Hu Shang left, Mu Wanqing picked up the corn seeds and turned them over to see that there will be another staple food next year, which is great.

    Mu Zicheng stepped in and said, "sister, what is this good thing?"

    He came back with Hu Shang, even before entering the city, he first went to Shuimu Farm to report safety.

    "Brother, you're back." Mu Wanqing looked at Mu Zicheng, who was darkened. She was in good spirits, and she had rinsed and was clean. "Have you gone home? Have you seen your mother and sister-in-law?"

    "I went to see my father first." Mu Zicheng sat down opposite her, picked up a snack and ate, "I went to the snack street to see my mother."

    Of course, he also went to see his wife, and the reunion of the husband and wife was naturally lingering.

    "My sister lost weight, didn't she eat well?"

    Mu Wanqing eats a lot, three meals plus afternoon tea, and supper at night, but her mental work is quickly exhausted.

    "I've been a little busy recently." She picked up the corn seeds and handed them to him, "This is a life-saving treasure, the yield is extremely high, and it can feed more people."

    Mu Zicheng was stunned for a moment, her eyes were straight, she was very excited, "sister, do you even know this?"

    "Is there anything I don't know about?" Mu Wanqing looked arrogant.

    Mu Zicheng can't help laughing, her sister is still so cute. "What's the matter with the second brother? I look a little wrong."

    "He didn't tell you?"

    Mu Zicheng's eyes are shining, "Tell me now."

    "Let him speak for himself." Mu Wanqing has no interest in exposing other people's privacy, even her second brother, "Come and give me advice, who will lead this caravan? "

    After listening to her sister's plan, mu Zicheng was amazed. Her mind was good. It was indeed a good move to form a caravan to go to various countries in the Western Regions.

    "It stands to reason that Uncle Six is ​​a suitable candidate. He has the courage, the courage to work hard, and the courage to be careful. However, he had a sprained foot some time ago and can't go far."

    Mu Wanqing thought for a while, "No hurry, take another look, or find a Du family army to **** her."

    The battle is over, let's start making money.

    Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, Sun Tongzhi rushed over with a letter, "County Lord, the soldiers are coming back the day after tomorrow, how to arrange it?"

    According to the custom, when the army comes back after winning the battle, it is arranged for the officials to greet it.

    If you go back to Beijing, the prince may welcome you in person.

    "Arrange the street to clear the field and organize officials to maintain law and order." Mu Wanqing pondered for a while, "Send an announcement to inform the people in the city that the Du family army is coming back."

    As soon as the news came out, the people were so excited that they went out early in the morning to greet their children and soldiers, and there was laughter everywhere.

    Under the leadership of Mu Wanqing, the Dusi Mansion was dispatched to the city gate ahead of schedule.

    The wind was cold and the snow was fluttering, but everyone's heart was extremely hot.

    A large tent was set up at the gate of the city, with only the top cover and ventilation on all sides.

    The officials were all standing in the tent, still feeling cold.

    Mu Wanqing wore a bright red fox fur coat, wrapped herself into a ball, and wore a hat and scarf, only her nose was exposed.

    She also held a small hand stove in her hand to keep warm, and jumped a few times from time to time. It was really cold today.

    She glanced at the restaurant not far away with admiration. Her parents and the two young ladies of the Du family had reserved a box, and she was sitting comfortably in the warm box drinking tea and eating snacks. .

    So, why does she have to suffer?

    She really wanted to drink a bowl of warm glutinous rice dumplings.

    A carriage came from a distance, and the sharp-eyed official recognized it, "Hey, the carriage of Du's house? Could it be that Du Shuai came in person?"

    The carriage slowly stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a man in a black fur coat walked down, with a majestic face, it was Du Shuai.

    Mu Wanqing shoved the stove in the hand of the servant and walked out first, and the others followed.

    Mu Wanqing bowed, "I have seen Du Shuai, Du Shuai is well."

    Du Shuai gave a false help, "The county magistrate is very polite."

    Mu Wanqing glanced at Du Shuai and was taken aback, why is she so thin? I'm half thinner than before.

    He's not healed yet? Still not good?

    "Why did you come out on such a cold day? Come in and talk."

    She also quietly asked people to prepare a few braziers, which were placed near Du Shuai's chair.

    Don't catch the cold.

    These days, a cold will kill you.

    So far, she has not encountered major resistance in her tenure, and it is smooth sailing.

    She wants him to live well more than anyone else.

    Having such a leader who cares about everything, she really saved a lot of heart.

    She was sending people a stove and preparing hot **** tea.

    Seeing her busy, Du Shuai comforted her, "Don't be busy, just sit down, no matter what, I will always pick up Du Jiajun's return."

    Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "Congratulations to Du Jiajun's coach, he has won again, continuing the myth of victory in every battle."

    Du Shuai looked at the smiling girl in front of her. Every time she saw her, she changed a bit, and this time she was even more imposing.

    "The county owner has worked hard, and you have made great achievements. You should be the first."

    Who would have thought that such a young woman would take care of everything, prepare food for the army, appease the hearts of the people, lead the army and the people to unite to take Fufeng City, and clear all obstacles.

    She should take most of the credit for this victory.

    Mu Wanqing's efforts were recognized, of course she was very happy, and she smiled sweetly and modestly.

    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, "Come, Du Jiajun is here."
