Mu Wanqing pointed to her head and said, "I have this."
"Who doesn't have a brain?" an official couldn't help but want to dampen her enthusiasm.
"Everyone has a head, but not everyone has a brain." Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "I am a rare genius in a century, so please cherish me."
Officials: …
I have never seen such a confident and frivolous girl.
Mu Wanqing felt that there was nothing wrong with the label she gave herself, as her knowledge was far more extensive than that of anyone present.
That's her advantage.
"Give me a chance, and I can give Xiliang a perfect world. You will make a profit." I am so confident.
She tried her best to deceive people and use brainwashing techniques, and she was really trying hard.
Officials: …
"I think, let's give it a try." Jiang Tongzhi made the decision. They had nothing to lose anyway.
Mu Wanqing immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Sir Jiang, you have a very good vision, a good judge of people, and are very decisive. I admire you."
She confirmed what she said, "There aren't many people I admire these days."
Jiang Tongzhi couldn't help laughing.
I know her words are too exaggerated and unreliable, but who doesn't like to hear nice words?
What's more, she praised him alone! Inexplicably proud!
"It's decided then."
It’s not a big deal, no one will offend him.
Mu Wanqing thanked him happily and took people out of the city to look at land.
As soon as she left, Sun Tongzhi looked at the others, "What do you think?"
The officials had mixed feelings. Compared with this girl, they seemed old-fashioned and mediocre.
"I'm not very optimistic. He's too young, has seen little of the world, and is too frivolous."
"I also don't like her personality."
Sun Tongzhi listened for a while and suddenly said, "Actually, I want to find out who is behind her and who can protect her to this extent."
Lord Qian knew how to answer this question, so he took the initiative to say, "I heard that it was the deputy commander of the Wuyi Guard."
The room was filled with a buzz, "Is this true? Where did you hear that?"
Lord Qian has met and gotten to know Mu Wanqing, and feels that she has some abilities.
"It was revealed by Captain Li that the leader of the escorting officers, the man who had been standing behind Mu Wanqing without saying a word, was very close to the deputy commander of the Wuyi Guard."
An official shook his head slightly. "I still find it unreasonable. If they had a special relationship, why would they try to rescue her? Instead of letting her be exiled?"
Another official said shockingly, "Is there a possibility that the master of the Wuyi Guard wants to take this opportunity to plant a pair of eyes?"
The room was completely silent, and the atmosphere was completely different. Who was the master of the Wuyi Guard? Of course, it was the emperor who was high above.
After a long while, Jiang Tongzhi finally said, "Really? Send a little girl over?"
"That's defenseless."
"No, if that were the case, there would definitely not be any leaks."
"Why think so much? We can just watch from the sidelines. We'll be able to tell whether it's a horse or a mule in half a year."
Everyone thought about it and agreed. No matter how much they said, it would be better to wait and see for the time being.
Mu Wanqing looked at several places in a row, but there were no tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.
The ranch recommended by Lord Qian is cheap, but it does not meet Mu Wanqing's current needs.
After running for several days, she finally selected a large piece of wasteland, which also included a barren mountain, and bought it for 12,000 taels of silver.
It is a bit troublesome to open up new land, but it is cheap.
Time flies, and Mr. Zeng came here specially to say goodbye.
"Miss, I will leave tomorrow. Deputy Captain Li and ten brothers will stay here to listen to your orders. When I return to complete my mission, I will find a way to transfer them here. We have agreed that they will stay in Liangcheng with you in the future."
Mu Wanqing was stunned, as they had not revealed any information at all before.
She thought that Lord Zeng's willingness to put his name on her property was a last bit of affection. After that, they would go their separate ways and have their own futures, and it would probably be difficult for them to see each other again.
She couldn't help but remind him, "Your roots and connections are all in the capital."
They are all yamen runners who have been passed down from generation to generation, with their roots in the capital, and they can continue to work steadily until passing it on to the next generation.
But when you come here, everything is unknown, which is tantamount to taking risks.
Mr. Zeng didn't think so. "But you are here. I think it is more rewarding to work with you. Please leave a shop for me."
After he read Mu Wanqing's blueprint for the future, this idea came to him. He felt eager to pursue it for the first time.
He had a lot of money in his hands, enough for his whole family to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Since he has no worries about food and clothing, why can't he live the life as he pleases?
Mu Wanqing looked at these officials steadily. They had become very familiar with each other after getting along with them all the way.
Everyone nodded with a firm look on their faces, "We will be back."
Following Mu Wanqing is exciting and novel, and I can see a different world. However, the capital city is always calm, like a pool of stagnant water, with no end in sight.
Of course, the most important point is that Mu Wanqing is a rare expert at making money. Following her for half a year, you can earn enough to spend a lifetime.
If you don’t embrace such a golden thigh, when will you embrace it?
Mu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh. She was short of manpower and of course she hoped they could stay and help her.
"Okay, I'll give a shop to anyone who wants to stay."
Everyone cheered and said, this is possible.
Deputy Captain Li patted his chest to show his loyalty, "Miss, I will be your assistant from now on. Just give me your instructions, and we brothers will ensure that we can do it properly for you."
"Thank you for your help."
"Brother Zeng, you must help the brothers turn the relationship around."
Even if I could just be a small official, I could help Mu Wanqing more.
He suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, if possible, bring my family over to reunite with us."
His parents died early, and he lived with his uncles and aunts since childhood. When he grew up, they married him and moved out, but he was worried about his wife and children.
Mr. Zeng was stunned for a moment. "Take it now? Are you sure?"
This was different from what we had agreed upon beforehand, which was to wait two or three years and see, and if things went well, we would bring our families over.
Deputy Captain Ji changed his mind temporarily because Mu Wanqing promised to give each of them a shop. He had seen the original design drawings and thought it was very suitable for their family to live in.
It's definitely no problem to run a small business in the front and live in the back, and make some money.
His wife and children stayed in the capital and were controlled by their clansmen. If they suffered any injustice, he would be unable to do anything for them, so it would be better for him to keep them by his side and take care of them.
The conditions were somewhat difficult at the beginning, but with Mu Wanqing's ability, one year was enough for her to change a lot of things.
"Yes, I believe that the young lady will lead us to a good life. The children can learn from the young lady. If they can learn a little bit, it will be enough for them."
Mu Wanqing would not let anyone down. "If you all want to stay, then I suggest that you build a small farm next to my farm. You can just copy what I do. It will also be convenient for you to settle your families."
Everyone's eyes lit up, this was awesome.
Look, more than thirty people came together to buy a large piece of wasteland, right next to Mu Wanqing's land.
After finally seeing off Lord Zeng and his entourage, Mu Wanqing convened a clan meeting, with all men and women over the age of seven attending.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, but you have to know that this thing exists and get used to this lifestyle.
"I have three things to announce. The first is that I have acquired this piece of land and plan to build a unique snack street. It will start in the spring."
"The second thing is, you have a sum of money with me. Do you want to take it now and buy another property, or do you want to get a shop? Make your own choice."
"Those who want to take the money, stand on the left, those who want to divide the shop, stand on the right."
The tribesmen had heard about it a long time ago, but hearing it with their own ears still shocked them. "Chief, how much is a shop worth?"
Mu Wanqing directly took out the blueprint and said, "This is the design blueprint. One room is about 50 square meters, with two floors. There are two courtyards in the back. One is used as a workshop and the other is used as a residence. Both are two-story buildings. They are worth one thousand taels."
Everyone gasped, "Isn't this price too high?"
This is the border, not the capital. One hundred taels would be enough to build a courtyard house.
The house that Mu Wanqing built looks antique on the outside, but has relatively modern facilities inside, which is not cheap.
"It's one thousand taels now, and it will be two thousand taels when it's finished. Once it's open for business, it will be a goose that lays golden eggs. You can't buy it even with ten thousand taels. Of course, this is all voluntary. You should think carefully about whether you want to take the money and leave, or stay and build a better future together."
Everyone hesitated, "If we leave, where can we go?"
Mu Wanqing was not angry. Not everyone was willing to take a chance. Some people wanted to be safe.
"I will say hello and place you in a garrison with better conditions. Be an honest soldier and do the reclamation work. If you encounter a life-threatening situation in the future, you can come to me. I will definitely help if I can."
Don't come to see her if you have nothing to do, she is busy.
She had fulfilled her responsibility by bringing the people to the border safely.
Settling them down is the last bit of kindness we can show you.
Everyone looked at each other and whispered to each other.
How could it be possible to let her take care of them for the rest of their lives?
Mu Rongxue's mind was working quickly, and she was the first to step forward and ask, "Patriarch, can we only have one room per family?"
Mu Wanqing's lips curled slightly, "One room per household."
Mu Rongxue's heart moved, "Then...what if I separate from my parents?"
"Sure." Mu Wanqing's family has several people, and each person has a room. Well, she is an exception.
Mu Rongxue was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling, "That's great, I want two rooms, can I choose the house first?"
The three of them, mother and daughter, had one room, and Master Mu Sanye, his son and concubines had one room. It was good this way, as it was quiet and separate.
Mr. Mu Sanye was the only person who did not attend the meeting. Although Mu Wanqing did not kick him out of the family, she didn't like him very much either.
Without his backer, Mr. Mu Sanye was extremely timid and didn't dare to come out to bother her.
Now, Mu Rongxue is in charge of all the big and small matters of the third room.
Mu Wanqing had to admit that Mu Rongxue was a smart girl with a keen sense of touch. "Okay, first come, first served."
Mu Rongxue happily walked to the blueprint and looked at it carefully. "What does this checked house mean?"
Her hand fell on the middle few shops, "They have been picked out. These are mine, and these belong to my eldest brother, second brother, parents, and Sister Wan."
She pointed to the entrance of the alley and said, "This is where Master Zeng and his family are."
Wow, forty sets were allocated just like that? Everyone was anxious, it wasn't that many in total.
Not wanting it is one thing, but not having it be your turn is another.
Mu Wanqing's hand moved to the end, "This triangle is the Mu's kindergarten, Mu's academy, and Mu's office."
This is the quietest location at the end of the alley, and the three buildings occupy a large area.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Office?"
Mu Wanqing said calmly, "This is where I will work as the director in the future. Whether it is clan affairs or official business, the final decision will be made here. I will select a few people from the clan to assist me, and they will receive monthly salary."
Everything will be in order. The tribesmen must be united and work together to better face the outside world.
Mu Rongxue immediately perked up, "I'll be the first to sign up. I can do anything. I can do whatever you say, and I can do it beautifully."
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly. She was just planning to conscript some strong men, so how could she let go of someone who came up to her on his own initiative?
"Sure, you're good at math, so you can be a cashier. Mu Ji, you can be an accountant."
One is in charge of money and the other is in charge of accounts, and the division of labor is clear.
Mu Rongxue was so happy. She was being valued, right?
Mu Ji was flattered. Those who managed the money were all his trusted followers. Why was it his turn? "Me? Can I do it? Brother Ziang has learned better than me."
Mu Wanqing waved her hand and said, "My father and elder brother are responsible for setting up the farm."
The farm is of utmost importance, it is her personal property and has nothing to do with the clan.
Mu Rongxue couldn't wait to pick a house, not far from Mu Wanqing's house, "Patriarch, I want these two."
"OK."
Mu Ji also started to choose a room, "Patriarch, I want this one."
Seeing them enthusiastically choosing houses, others couldn't help but get anxious and scramble to subscribe for houses.
In this unfamiliar border area, we still have to stick together to survive.
They might not be able to endure going to the military reclamation camp, so it would be better for them to follow Mu Wanqing.
Finally, it was all divided.
Deputy Captain Li was full of admiration for Mu Wanqing. She could actually calculate so accurately. It could only be said that she had a perfect grasp of people's hearts and situations.
Someone exclaimed, "Oh, that's not right. We have a store, but we don't know how to make snacks."
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly and said, "This is the third thing."
"I will teach each family who subscribes to the snack a dish, but there are conditions. Each dish costs 1,000 taels, and they must sign a profit agreement. I will take 30% in the first three years, and 10% after three years."
She had done the math for them. She had 700 taels per person on her payroll, which meant 2,100 taels for a family of three. After deducting the money for the store and the secret recipe for the snacks, she still had 100 taels left.
However, after the division, the family now has four or five people, which is more than enough.
There was only one family, a young couple who had not yet had a baby, and they were separated. She allowed them to borrow on credit first.
"Raise your hand if you can accept it."
Everyone raised their hands without thinking, fearing that someone else would get there first.
Everyone who has eaten Mu Wanqing’s cooking knows how delicious it is, and it is definitely a good deal to get a secret recipe.
Although one thousand taels is expensive, secret recipes are hard to come by, and someone may not get what they want even if they spend tens of thousands of taels.
As for the dividend distribution method mentioned, it is not too harsh and is completely acceptable.
Deputy Captain Li's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. "Miss, can we join in, too?"
"certainly."
Mu Wanqing raised her hand, and Master Mu brought out a large box from the house, opened the lid, and there were paper balls inside.
"Here are a hundred secret recipes. Draw lots according to the order of the stores that placed the orders. It's up to fate."
This proposal is fair and no one objects.
Deputy Captain Li was the first to line up, "I'll draw lots for Brother Zeng first."
"Okay, come on."
Everyone stared at Deputy Captain Li eagerly to see what he could catch.
