After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister Chapter 208

    It's a gold medal, a gold medal to avoid death.

    Mu Wanqing was stunned when she looked at the gold medal, "Why did the late emperor give me this? How could he think I need this?"

    Is this afraid of her breaking the sky? What misunderstanding did the emperor have about her? She really is a decent and well-behaved citizen.

    Du Shaoxuan also looked weird, "I don't know, maybe, maybe it's because you think it's risky for you to be an official as a girl?"

    Mu Wanqing: …This explanation is very pale.

    Okay, give it to her and keep it.

    She played with the gold medal, and the more she looked, the more she felt that the first emperor was a very interesting person.

     She is also benevolent and righteous, leaving her a way out in advance.

    "Unfortunately, I didn't see each other during my lifetime."

    Du Shaoxuan's expression darkened, "The first emperor was also very good to me, he loved me like his own son, but he made those princes jealous, you don't know when you were young..."

    With a look of nostalgia, he talked about the interesting story of growing up in the palace as a child.

    The princes were envious, jealous and hateful towards him, and tried to make a mess for him.

    Don't the emperor know? In fact, I know, just open one eye and close one eye.

    In retrospect, I am really happy.

    Mu Wanqing listened with relish, and laughed loudly from time to time.

    Du Shaoxuan gave a rough outline of what happened this time. The situation in the capital was changing, and the waves were treacherous. Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows repeatedly.

    Every time the rights are changed, you will live and die, and blood will flow forever.

    "Did you press down all the princes this time?"

    Du Shaoxuan nodded slightly, "They no longer have the foundation and strength to make trouble, and there is no other way but to be honest."

    The emperor treats his brothers well, and offers them splendid clothing and food to help them raise their children.

    In addition to no freedom, life is well paid.

    Dissatisfied? Then let's see what happens to the Fifth Prince's family.

    The fifth prince died, and his family members were demoted to commoners.

    I am used to the noble life of a superior person, and I suddenly fall into the dust, run around for three meals a day, go out to see people's faces, and feel anxious all day long.

    Mu Wanqing has no sympathy for the Fifth Prince and his family at all.

    Are young children innocent and pitiful? This is the era of sitting together.

    If the descendants of the rebels can still enjoy wealth and honor without any influence, how can they deter others?

    Be kind and gentle, the cost of crime is too low, and it will only make people imitate.

     "That's good, the rear is stable, so that we can deal with the external chaos. Does the emperor have any arrangements?"

    "Let the Mu family army recuperate first, recuperate, and wait for the opportunity." Du Shaoxuan received a secret order, and the casualties of the Du family army were quite serious this time. .

    It's not like he can fight.

    Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, "Or let you go?"

    The emperor trusts his cousin the most, and naturally wants his cousin to be in power.

    "Well, half of the troops will be stationed at the border, and I will take half away, so we have to train a batch of recruits as soon as possible."

    Mu Wanqing can't help this, and can only rely on himself.

    Du Shaoxuan was a little embarrassed, "We have to find a way to solve part of the food and grass, this is the two million taels given by the emperor, which is the last food and grass cost, the national treasury is out of money, this is still cut From the expenses in the palace, the emperor only has three dishes and one soup for one meal, and he said that he will have the opportunity to make up for the military expenses in the future."

    Mu Wanqing:…

    The emperor is not rich either, not as rich as Mu Wanqing.

    Du Shaoxuan handed her a secret order, "Look."

    Mu Wanqing opened it and saw that she was given full responsibility for the peace talks.

    The corner of her mouth twitched, what did the emperor think?

    "I'm not good at this."

    But in Du Shaoxuan's eyes, she is omnipotent and omnipotent.

      "

    Although he has temporarily signed a truce agreement with the two countries, it is too late to talk about specific matters.

    The main civil strife caused the isolation of news, and it was too difficult to transmit news from Xiliang to the capital.

    This time it is particularly inconvenient for him to come and go, and some have to detour.

    This is also one of the reasons why he went to the capital. He had to communicate with the emperor the intentions of the other two countries for peace talks in person.

    The emperor can handle the peace talks in person.

    Mu Wanqing carefully studied the list of negotiating missions.

    "Where do you put them?"

    "Tongfu Inn."

    This is the most stylish inn in the city. There are too many famous and wealthy businessmen, and they have to queue up.

    Of course, this is also Mu Wanqing's business.

    At this moment, the members of the negotiating team looked at all kinds of things in the city with a dreamy look, they couldn't believe it.

    The exterior of Tongfu Inn is classically decorated and quaint, but the interior facilities are modern, and many things they have never seen before.

    They can't help but deeply doubt whether they have been eliminated by the times?

     Walking out of the inn, the flat and spacious cement road was clean, crowded with people, and it was extremely lively.

    People in different uniforms are mixed in the crowd, some maintain order, some clean the streets, very harmonious.

    The shops on both sides are beautifully arranged, the large glass doors are bright and transparent, and they sell everything. The shops are crowded with people and business is booming.

    Pedestrians on the road have relaxed eyebrows, clean clothes, bright eyes, and no trace of sadness.

    Honglu Siqing was stunned, "This is really Xiliang?"

    It feels more lively and noisy than the capital.

    The Minister of Rites couldn't believe it, "Xiliang is already rich enough? Everyone uses glass, which is too extravagant."

    I have to admit that having glass is a class. The problem is, his house doesn't use glass yet.

    An official with big eyes, he always thought that Xiliang was a bitter and cold place, and the people lived in poverty, but now his previous cognition has been completely refreshed.

    "They can still sit in the middle of the street? Aren't they afraid of being hit by a carriage?"

    There is a row of stone benches in the middle of the street, old people and children sit and rest, all with smiles on their faces.

    The passers-by who passed by them stopped when they heard this, "Are you out-of-towners? This street is a pedestrian street, and means of transportation are not allowed to pass through. The middle is for everyone to rest when they are tired from shopping. , in the evening, the colorful lanterns in the store are high, go to the snack street to buy some snacks, bring them over to sit and eat while watching the scenery, not to mention how beautiful it is.”

    As long as you don't litter and dirty the streets, no one will care about you.

    The servant of the Ministry of Rites looked at the other party calmly. He was an ordinary person at the bottom. He was wearing 80% new cotton-padded clothes, his hair was neatly combed, and his hands and face were clean.

    "No curfew?"

      "

    He pointed to a line of writing on the wall, smiling kindly.

    The Minister of Rites was stunned, "Are you literate?"

    It doesn't look like she's literate.

    Passers-by raised their chests proudly, "My daughter taught me what she taught me at school, I know a lot of words, my daughter is very smart, she won the first place in the exam, and got a tael of silver. scholarship."

    "What? Your daughter goes to school?" Everyone was stunned.

    Passers-by are particularly proud, "Why not? We have several schools in Liangcheng, both male and female."

    He used to be very old-fashioned. What kind of books do girls read? In the end, isn't it cheaper than someone else's?

    Of course, his family was so poor before that his son had no money to study.

    The Minister of Rites is not well, "How can this work? Who came up with the idea? This is simply indecent..."

    "Tsk tsk, reading and reading is stupid, I think men are afraid that they can't compare to girls, so they try to suppress them." Passers-by have been completely brainwashed by Mu Wanqing's tricks, and they firmly support Qingping County's head. every decision. "Brother, you have to be confident in life."

    The husband and wife are both working in the snack street, adding up to one or two silver a month, and usually have various employee benefits, such as rice noodles and oil.

    Children are free to study, why not take advantage of it?

    Everyone:…

    Xiliang's painting style is so strange.

    Passers-by are now ardent fans of Mu Wanqing, and they cannot listen to others slander her.

    "We Qingping County Master is only able to do it because he has read a lot, and he has brought our people to make a fortune together. This shows that if a daughter is trained well, she can still honor her ancestors. I can see it clearly, listen. If you are the head of Qingping County, you can live a good life."

    The people at the bottom have their own wisdom for survival, and when both men and women can invest, why not invest together? The success rate is higher.

    As long as one succeeds, the family will turn over. Does gender matter at this time?

    Girls are not in a hurry to get married. It is not too late to get married at the age of eighteen.

    The body of the head of Qingping County can bring glory to the family, and protect the parents. The girls in their family don't ask for such greatness.

    The Minister of Rites sneered, "Don't you feel so insecure? A woman's incompetence is virtue."

    Passers-by thought he was a bit silly, "For those who are dying of starvation, whoever can keep us fed and clothed is our great benefactor. The county lord of Qingping gave us a bright road, What she said was the truth."

    "Look, these are all built by the Qingping county master, this cement floor, this specialty and custom street, this supermarket, this department store are all built by her single-handedly, with a year of tax and silver How many, do you know? Say it and scare you to death."

    "By the way, do you know what a supermarket is? What is a department store?"

    The officials from the capital felt the contempt from the people of Xiliang, but the problem is, they really don't know.

    Passers-by are so proud, "You are ignorant, by the way, where are you from?"

    Everyone looked at each other, and they were embarrassed to say that they came from the capital.

    Sorry, I'm embarrassing the capital.
