After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister

Mu Wan Qing was dressed as cannon fodder playing a female supporting role in a book about a reborn female protagonist.

The heroine was her amazing and talented cousin. She was reborn on the w...

Chapter 186

The people of Fufeng City have gone crazy, and the Princess of Qingping County came in person to offer warmth. Oh, no, it was meat buns to eat, four per person, everyone has one.

This kind of good thing that falls from the sky only happens once in a thousand years. Whoever misses it will regret it.

Everybody rushed out, gathered together and ran towards the city gate.

The soldiers stepped forward to stop them, "Go back quickly, everyone go back."

Unexpectedly, the people wanted to eat meat buns so badly. It was hard to get enough food these days, let alone meat buns. Just hearing about them made people hungry.

I can’t stand it, not for a moment.

They don't understand any profound principles, they just know that whoever can give them food is a good person.

"Come with us out of town to eat meat buns. How many times have you eaten meat buns in your life? Those who don't eat are fools. Who wouldn't envy you for being able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks with the Princess of Qingping County? Such an opportunity will never come again if you miss it."

The soldiers looked at each other and became restless after hearing these words.

To be honest, meat buns are quite tempting to them, four meat buns at that.

How about giving it a try?

I don't know who secretly opened the city gate, and a group of people ran out.

By the time the officials found out, it was too late. They shouted angrily, "Shoot them, kill them."

"Close the city gates immediately, quickly."

The soldiers aimed their arrows at the running civilians, but as soon as they started to move, the enemy's arrows rained down on the officials.

The officials were so frightened that they retreated one after another and hid behind the city walls, not daring to confront her.

Mu Wanqing's voice was heard, "Stop! I will not spare anyone who dares to shoot unarmed civilians. If you don't protect your own people, then let me protect them."

These words moved countless people.

One side has no mercy on the people and kills them whenever they want.

One side stepped in to protect it, stood up for the people, and distributed delicious meat buns.

The soldiers and civilians who were originally wavering completely changed sides. Not only were the city gates not closed, but even more people ran out.

The Du family army under the city took the opportunity to rush in, and the scene was extremely chaotic and out of control.

The military officers in Fufeng City could not help but get anxious and called on their men to fight. However, many soldiers had already wavered and were only going through the motions, not putting in any effort.

The battle was one-sided without any suspense and ended quickly. A large flag with the word "Mu" was raised on the gate of Fufeng City.

Catch those who should be arrested, and detain those who should be detained, and get the situation under control as soon as possible.

Common people flocked out of the city and lined up to receive the meat buns. When they took a bite, their mouths were filled with the aroma of meat, which moved them to tears.

A skinny child held a delicious meat bun in his hand, his mouth greasy, "Mom, is this meat? It's delicious."

The woman's eyes were red. Her family was poor and her child had never eaten meat, so how could he know what meat tasted like?

The child was shocked. "Mom, why are you crying? Then I won't eat the meat buns anymore. I'll give them all to you, okay?"

The woman cried but then smiled, "Eat, eat until you are full. You will have more meat buns to eat in the future if you follow Princess Qingping."

Such conversations occurred more than once, and the people all firmly believed this.

Mu Wanqing, surrounded by the crowd, went straight to the government office and asked people to turn out everything in the warehouse.

There aren't many things in the warehouse, and not much money in the account. We are so poor.

"Prepare the four treasures of the study."

"yes."

Mu Wanqing picked up the pen and began to write a notice to appease the people.

The general in full military uniform walked in with high spirits, "I am here to report that we have completely taken over Fufeng City. All the officials have been imprisoned, and the soldiers have surrendered."

Mu Wanqing put down her pen and looked up slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, General Nie."

Nie Feng's eyes sparkled, "It's not hard. This is the smoothest battle I've ever fought in my life. It's all thanks to the county lady's planning and winning the battle thousands of miles away. I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting."

A city was captured with almost no casualties.

Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "I don't know anything about fighting, I just know how to understand people's hearts and understand the suffering of the people. He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world."

How did we, the Rabbit, win the war back then? It was because we relied on the people’s support.

When people heard that the rabbit was coming, they quietly opened the city gates to welcome it. This was not an exception.

What else could Nie Feng say? Someone who couldn't fight won by relying on a series of cool moves.

Some people are born to make up the numbers, while others are born to shine.

A notice was posted the next day, stating that everyone could receive four meat buns based on their household registration and could buy cotton cloth at a cheap price. The treatment was exactly the same as in Xiliang.

He also stated that cotton would be planted in various parts of Xiliang next year. The supply of cotton seeds was limited, so people who wanted to plant them should make reservations with the government in advance.

We will also send experienced people to instruct on how to plant, so that everyone can learn.

All the cotton grown will be purchased in a unified manner. As long as the people are diligent and hardworking, everything will be fine.

There will be white flour and there will be meat.

When this notice was issued, the people were extremely excited. It meant that they didn't have to worry about anything, and as long as they were willing to work hard, they would have enough food to eat?

Farmers spare no effort and are never afraid of doing rough work. What they fear is that they are exhausted and still cannot feed their families.

As expected, Princess Qingping came to rescue them! What a kind person!

Everyone rushed to ask about cotton seeds, which was related to their livelihood for next year.

Mu Wanqing specially brought her own team on this trip, including her eldest brother and second brother, to open their eyes.

Mu Ziang even went into battle to kill the enemy himself, but... he won too easily.

She asked Mu Zicheng to learn about city affairs from Lord Qian, who was a veteran in this area and had a lot of experience.

When people came to ask questions, they were very friendly and patiently explained various matters.

Mu Wanqing was also busy, getting up early and working late every day to clean up the mess.

Mu Ziang led people to search the homes of officials, confiscated all their property, and imprisoned their families.

Part of the confiscated money was distributed to the people in the city, and the other half was used for construction.

Lord Qian has taken over the post of prefect and is responsible for all the city's affairs.

But when something important happened, he had to ask Mu Wanqing, "County Master, how do we deal with these officials and soldiers?"

Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Tell the Jin Palace to let them pay for the redemption. Regardless of the rank of the official, each person will be paid 50,000 taels."

Mr. Qian: ...

When it comes to sexiness, who can be more sexy than Princess Qingping?

"As for the soldiers, those who want to go home can go back, and the repatriation fee is five taels. Those who don't want to go back will be dispersed and sent to various guards. The military reclamation requires a large number of manpower."

Mr. Qian responded, "Yes."

Mu Wanqing brought the guards to patrol. Fufeng City actually covers a large area, with more than a dozen towns under it. The land is fertile, but because it is an important military reclamation area, most of the land is planted with wheat, which has a very low yield. Apart from this, no other plants are grown.

There is a lot of potential in this land.

Mu Wanqing had a plan in mind. She picked a day and brought Lord Qian and Nie Feng with her.

The group marched out of the city in a mighty procession, galloping on horseback for a long time.

The further we walked, the more remote the place became, and everyone became confused.

"County Master, where are you taking us?"

"Keep it a secret for now." Mu Wanqing kept the secret and excitedly urged everyone to continue on their way.

Out of trust in Mu Wanqing, everyone continued walking, crossing over mountains and walking along winding mountain roads. They finally stopped when they were exhausted.

Everyone was stunned by the beauty before them. It was a huge lake with no end in sight. The water was emerald green. The setting sun fell on the lake, making the waves sparkle. It was as beautiful as a fairyland.

Mu Ziang couldn't help but ask, "Sister, are you taking us on a picnic?"

Everyone: ...

The naive and innocent person is you.

How come there are so many differences between children from the same parents?

Mu Wanqing raised her chin with a mysterious smile, "After a long day of traveling, wash your face and drink some lake water."

Well, now that we are here, let’s stop and take a rest.

Mu Wanqing scooped up a handful of water with her palm, brought it to her lips and took a sip. The taste made her eyebrows smile slightly.

Mu Ziang on the side exclaimed, "Why is the lake water salty?"

Mr. Qian was a bit slow, still walking slowly behind. When he heard this, he jumped over with an agility that didn't match his age and asked him to show it. "Salt?"

He took a bite, his eyes widened, and he trembled with excitement, "County Master, this... this is a saltwater lake."

Who would have thought that there was a saltwater lake hidden deep in the mountains?

This is such a huge surprise, ahhh, they are rich.

This time it’s posted!

"I know." Mu Wanqing smiled. "If it weren't for this saltwater lake, I might not have chosen Fufeng City."

Lord Qian was stunned and couldn't believe it.

She...didn't she just pick Fufeng City when she attacked it?

Mu Wanqing did this for two reasons: one was to provoke, and the other was for the salt lake, so that she could be self-sufficient in salt.

"This lake is huge, enough for Xiliang to use for several years."

Everyone stood in awe, thinking she was worthy of being the Princess of Qingping County.

They were still on the third level and she was already in the atmosphere.

People are just different.

Mr. Qian really admired her, "How did you know that?"

"Read more travel notes and read widely." Mu Wanqing replied seriously. As for how much truth there was in it, only she knew.

The commotion in Fufeng City caused a huge stir, and Mu Wanqing did not hide it, so it soon became known to everyone.

All the major forces were stunned. Didn't they say that Princess Qingping had already surrendered to the Prince of Jin's Mansion? But what was going on?

This slap hit the Prince Jin's Mansion hard in the face, declaring that the previous rumors were just rumors.

Fake! Rumor!

So the question is, where did the previous rumors come from?

Oh, it must have been done by Prince Jin's Mansion. They used such means to force Princess Qingping to surrender and cut off her retreat.

It's a bit low-brow and not presentable.

This method can be used against ordinary people, and can make them speechless and unable to express their pain, forcing them to admit defeat.

Who knew that the Princess of Qingping County was such a ruthless person. If you cheat me, I will beat you, rob your city, and rob your people.

This time, the Prince of Jin's Mansion lost all its face and was brought to shame, being laughed at by the whole world.

Prince Jin's Mansion, Outer Study

The study was in a mess, with broken porcelain and valuable items all over the floor.

The Prince of Jin's chest was heaving, he was breathing heavily, and his face was full of anger.

What an ungrateful little girl! How dare she? ! !

He had never suffered such humiliation in his two lives!

Seeing this, the counselor was extremely anxious, "Master, Master, your health is more important, please don't be angry."

The Prince of Jin's eyes turned red with anger, "Mu Wanqing is too ruthless."

The strategist was silent. He didn't expect Mu Wanqing to be so cruel.

There is no such thing as a dumb person eating bitter herbs. She never suffers any loss.

The reason why he didn't say anything before was not because he was afraid, but because he was secretly doing something.

"You are a noble prince, who is she to you? You don't need to get so upset about her that you ruin your health..."

A voice came from outside, "Sir, Xiliang Fufeng City has sent you a return gift."

Prince of Jin: ...Fuck.

Strategist: ...Mu Wanqing is not a human being.
