Commander Ji had countless thoughts in his mind and looked at his daughter, "Do you want to go?"
Although Ji Cheng had a lot of freedom, she was also constrained by rules and regulations. She never knew that a woman could achieve such a great career.
"I think, although I can't fight on the battlefield like my aunt, I also want to follow her example, be loyal to the Great Qi Dynasty, and do something practical for the people."
Commander Ji felt mixed emotions. She really was like a sister, which made him feel soft-hearted. "But, do you know the consequences?"
"I know, but I won't regret it." Ji Cheng knew that there is gain only when there is sacrifice, and it is impossible to have all the benefits.
Isn't it just hard to get married? She doesn't care.
She thought, her aunt had never regretted it, and she would never regret it either.
The daughters of the Ji family are no less capable than the boys.
Captain He's heart moved, and his eyes lit up, "Sir, it's not convenient for a girl to do things, why not let the young master manage the market, I can still lend a hand."
As for Mu Wanqing, he simply ignored her. She was just a woman, and he could just use a few tricks to squeeze her out.
As long as he has a few nephews around, he can make a comeback.
Commander Ji was shaken. "Master Qingping, what do you think?"
It's not that he doesn't love his daughter, but he doesn't want her to end up like his sister, dying at a young age and leaving behind only regrets.
In comparison, the sons are more legitimate.
The light in Ji Cheng's eyes gradually dimmed. Is it still not possible? Even if she is better than men, she still can't achieve success like men?
Just when Captain He thought he was safe and was secretly delighted, Mu Wanqing's cold voice rang out, "Your sons have no sense of the overall situation and are too selfish. Another thing is that they all have the He blood, and I hate the short-sighted He family."
It sounds harsh, but it is the truth. If you have any backbone, you won't do anything to flatter Du Shaoxuan.
How to say it, all the people in that family were spoiled by the He family and only wanted to rely on nepotism to get to the top.
He Qianhu was in a bad mood and was furious. "Qingping Township Master, what you said is too much. Although you are of noble status, you can't talk about others without permission and make such a bad evaluation..."
"It's true that the nephew resembles his uncle." Mu Wanqing did not hide her disdain. "He has no means or ability but his ambition is high and he thinks too highly of himself. He might even try to force himself on me and pester me, and even use the name of giving me a good marriage, haha."
"This is impossible..." Commander Ji's old face flushed with shame, and he was also a little annoyed that she was too disrespectful to him, but... he couldn't help but be silent when he thought of his little daughter's flattering behavior.
Brothers and sisters of the same bloodline.
How could Du Shaoxuan bear it when he heard this? "Uncle Ji, Mu Wanqing is smarter than us. She thinks more comprehensively and sees farther. We should respect her decision."
He stood up to support him. Commander Ji sighed softly, "Ji Cheng, then you should do your best and don't bring shame to the Ji family's reputation."
Ji Cheng didn't expect such a sudden turn of events, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Yes, thank you, father."
He Qianhu was getting angry and said, "Sir, you have to think more about the young master. He is the heir of the Ji family..."
Commander Ji felt bitter in his heart. In recent years, he had indeed preferred his eldest son to be the heir. The eldest son was the best choice.
The youngest son of the other family is too young, and we don’t know when he will grow up. No one knows what will happen in the ten years in between.
He tried his best to train his eldest son and turned a blind eye to the He family, but now he finds that his eldest son is not a suitable candidate, which makes him very frustrated.
There is no one to succeed.
A secret guard rode over and said, "Young Master, we have found out about the illegal activities of the Lu and He families over the years. They bullied men and women, lent money at high interest rates, tricked people into gambling addiction, and caused countless families to be ruined and forced women of good families into prostitution. These are all physical evidence."
Du Shaoxuan nodded slightly, "Bring the relevant people here."
This time, not only the Lu family will be removed from power, but the He family will not be let off either, and all evil will be eradicated.
"yes."
Captain He took a deep breath. He didn't expect that the matter was far more serious than he imagined. "Young Marshal, our He family has never done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth..."
Mu Wanqing chuckled, "Your He family is so powerful that you colluded with the city gate guards to bring merchants into Yuelai Inn. They have become your meat on the chopping board. You can cheat them however you want. Countless merchants have been cheated by you and their families have been destroyed. Ganzhou City has become a taboo for countless merchants and they dare not come here. You are damaging the interests of Daqi and Xiliang and enriching your own warehouse. You deserve to be beheaded a hundred times."
He Qianhu roared angrily, "Qingping Township Master, you can't say anything without evidence. You are spreading rumors."
"I am the witness." Mu Wanqing patted her chest, looking regretful. "Well, I am one of the victims. Things have changed over time, and now the situation has turned to my side."
Commander Ji and his daughter suddenly realized that it was no wonder. No wonder she was so persistent in holding on to the He family and showing such strong disgust.
He Qianhu gasped, it turned out that she came here for revenge!
The He family had actually offended such a powerful person without knowing it? "How is this possible? When have you ever been to Ganzhou City..."
Mu Wanqing gave him a cold look and said, "You are not worth my time."
She waved to a few ragged people not far away. They came over timidly and said hesitantly, "Qingping Township Master, we don't have... household registration. Can we get the money?"
Mu Wanqing looked at the skinny people and sighed silently in her heart. These hidden households were not living well. "No, but I can help you register your household registration for free on the spot. You can get the money after you get the household registration."
Hidden households are black households. In order to avoid rent and taxes and corvée labor, they fled their hometowns and their names were no longer in the household register. When they could not survive, they turned to landlords and tyrants and became their private slaves.
She added, "By the way, you can also get food during the Chinese New Year."
After hearing this, why hesitate? You must register your household registration. Anyway, you can't survive, so you should get the money first.
With the first one, the other hidden households followed, and more waves of hidden households rushed over after hearing the news.
Among them, many hidden households were private slaves of the He family.
Captain He's face turned green. Harboring hidden households was also a crime.
Pulling out the radish will bring out the mud. No matter how much he claims to be innocent, it is useless. Du Shaoxuan dragged him away and detained him, waiting to be punished after all the evidence is collected.
Not only the He and Lu families, but all the wealthy families in the city were caught up in it. Du Shaoxuan tolerantly said that those who had not committed any crime could be forgiven with money, and those who hid one would be fined one or two taels of silver.
The landlords and powerful people naturally chose to accept the punishment. Soon, a large sum of fines was added to the treasury, and Ganzhou City had several thousand more people, which was a two-birds-with-one-stone deal.
The money confiscated from the brothels and casinos was not all spent. It was all piled up in the Yuelai Inn and recorded after being cleaned up.
Two days later, the father and daughter of the Ji family were invited over. Commander Ji looked at the huge pile of silver with mixed feelings, but he accepted the punishment.
Not only did He hold shares in the He family's brothel and casino, he was also bold enough to let his confidants open several others.
All these were hidden from him, but they would not stand up to investigation, and once they were investigated, they would reveal everything.
Ji Cheng was very happy. He was stripped of her gorgeous clothes and locked up in the family temple for seclusion, and was not allowed to come out for the rest of her life.
This time, Old Lady Ji was completely furious. It was really heartless to make such money.
Du Shaoxuan glanced at him and said, "Let's discuss how to use this money."
Mu Wanqing had already toured Ganzhou City and even hand-drew a map.
"I want to use it to set up a trade management office, and the office address will be built on..." She pointed at the Fengyue Street, "Hasn't this street been confiscated? All of it will be under the name of the trade management office. The best ones will be used as office space, and the rest will be used as cargo transfer stations, hotels and clubs."
She shoveled food into her bowl with confidence, bringing the whole street over.
She didn't mind that Fengyue Street was dirty. These buildings could be said to be the most magnificent and best in Ganzhou City. Why not use them?
After some renovations, it will be her territory.
Commander Ji's mouth twitched, and he was unable to argue with her about the ownership of these houses.
He finally realized that this girl was a monster, incredibly smart, and also held a grudge!
"Can you be more specific?"
Mu Wanqing marked each house and said, "Think about it, merchants from all over the world will definitely need food and lodging when they come here. Hotels are venues for entertaining guests, and clubs are places to help them make deals. The goods they bring need a place to be stored, so they can be stored here, and we can help with loading and unloading and delivery."
"This will save the merchants from worrying about their business, make management easier, and allow local people and government officials to make money, solving the employment problem for some people. This is called a win-win situation."
She just wants to create an ecological chain that connects the upstream and downstream.
How can we not make good use of such a good trade window?
Five wins? Commander Ji stroked his forehead and sighed. He still underestimated her.
She can make a whole street look different with lots of new ideas popping up one after another.
Mu Wanqing talked incessantly about the blueprint she had built, and everyone was stunned, as if a new world had opened up.
She was a little thirsty, so she stopped to drink some water. "Anything else you want to ask?"
Ji Cheng looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Village Master, you have a very good brain. How come you are so smart?"
Mu Wanqing asked curiously, "Isn't this common sense? Anyone who has studied economics with me would know this."
Versailles, this is her.
Commander Ji: ...
Du Shaoxuan couldn't help but laugh, so cute.
"Economics? What is that?" Ji Cheng felt that she knew a lot.
Mu Wanqing said casually, "It's a subject. We also study mathematics, physics and chemistry in the Mu Family Academy. After learning these, we can make cement and water wheels."
Not only Ji Cheng was excited, but even Commander Ji was damned excited. These were treasures, rare treasures that could be passed down from generation to generation. How could she just teach them to others so casually?
Ji Cheng grabbed Mu Wanqing's arm, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "I want to learn, I want you to be my teacher."
"I don't accept disciples, but if you want to study in our academy, I can consider it." Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, having thrown down a bait, and it depends on whether the Ji family will bite it. "Let's talk about it after things are done, there's no rush."
"Let these hidden households do the work of renovating this street, and they can support themselves and their families."
She arranged everything in an orderly manner. "Then, build a commercial street at this location, a one-kilometer-long commercial street. I can cover all the expenses. I can also buy the land, and the rights and interests will naturally belong to me. The government can also cooperate with me."
Commander Ji looked at the area she had circled, dumbfounded, "Isn't this place... a trade fair?"
Oh my, this is not something that Da Qi can decide alone, how come she has planned it so clearly? This is not right, can she force it?
