The Fang clan was divided into various guard posts and torn into pieces. This is the normal operation.
Everyone said goodbye to their relatives and friends in tears and made plans to meet again later.
In comparison, the Mu family is much calmer because they have Mu Wanqing!
Before leaving, Patriarch Fang came over to say hello, "Miss Mu, can you include our Fang family in your future plans?"
He thought Mu Wanqing was smart enough, but the sharp contrast between the two tribes made him more clearly aware that this woman was no ordinary person and was extremely smart.
Mu Wanqing gets along well with him. If he needs help, it would be better to find someone familiar so that he doesn't need to spend time getting used to the new environment.
"Not for now, the risk is a bit high, let's talk about it later."
The prerequisite is to first eliminate the strong labor force in the tribe.
Seeing that she left room for maneuver, the head of the Fang family felt relieved. "Then it's settled. If there are any changes, I hope you will consider our Fang family first."
"good."
The Mu family was arranged to live in a rather shabby inn, which was leaky everywhere, but no one cared at the moment. Their minds were all focused on the plan that Mu Wanqing mentioned.
Mu Wanqing lived in the best room. As soon as she entered the room, she asked for the four treasures of the study and started writing a plan alone behind closed doors.
More and more people gathered outside the door, but no sound was made.
It was late at night, and there was still a little candlelight in the room. Master Mu frowned slightly, "Still writing? What time is it? No, we have to let her rest early, she is weak."
He raised his hand to knock on the door, but was immediately stopped and carefully dragged to the side hallway.
"Second Master, let her write it. This concerns the future of our clan. Whether we live well or not depends entirely on her."
The tribesmen walked and stopped on the road of exile. When they were walking, they did needlework in the carriage, and when they stopped, they went to burn charcoal. Each of them turned into a workaholic.
Although the journey was hard, I felt at ease with some money in my hands. I was looking forward to settling down in Liangcheng and living a peaceful life.
After arriving in Liangcheng, they suddenly realized that things were not as simple as they had imagined. They were unfamiliar with the place and were not allowed to purchase private property. If they met greedy and cruel superiors, they would be in trouble and would not be able to keep the money they had.
At this time, only Mu Wanqing can save them.
Mr. Mu doesn't care about all this, he just wants his family to be safe and sound.
Finally, it was Madam Mu who stepped forward and said, "Go get some midnight snacks. Don't let Qing'er go hungry."
"Okay." Master Mu turned and went to the kitchen, but I thought, the kitchen is even more shabby, there is nothing in it.
He had no choice but to go back to his room and get a bag of flour to make hand-rolled noodles.
Mu Rongxue ran over with a group of tribesmen, "Second Uncle, can you tell us about Third Sister's... No, the tribe leader's plan?"
Master Mu rolled his eyes at them in annoyance. Why were they running around so late at night? "How should I know?"
These people are all students of Mu Academy. They are also students taught by Mu Wanqing personally. They are braver than ordinary people.
"Please don't hide it from us. You are the biological father of the clan leader. How could you not know?"
Mr. Mu walked forward without looking back, "I really don't know. I never care about these things. I just need to listen to Qing'er's arrangements. Qing'er is clear about gratitude and resentment, and she will not mistreat those who treat her well."
People don’t know whether to envy or be jealous.
Mr. Mu is cowardly and mediocre, but he has such an outstanding daughter, so he will never have to worry in his life.
"Qing'er, Qing'er."
Mu Wanqing heard a knock on the door, put down her pen and rubbed her wrist, wondering how late it was.
She got up and opened the door, and was startled to see a crowd of people outside.
"Dad, Mom, why aren't you asleep yet? Go to bed quickly."
Mr. Mu did not go in, but handed her the tray in his hand, "After you have your midnight snack, go to bed quickly. Don't stay up late. It's not good for your health."
"I know." Mu Wanqing felt warm in her heart, "Where's Sister Wan?"
Madam Mu now shares a room with Yu Wanrou and knows everything about her movements. "She's in the room. I'll go call her."
"No, no, I'll talk to her tomorrow." Mu Wanqing glanced at the clan members in the corridor and frowned slightly, "Hurry back, and when I finish the things at hand, I will hold a clan meeting and make everything clear. Now, I don't want to say a word."
Everyone looked at each other and thought, okay, she is a man of her words and she means what she says. There is no hope tonight, so let's go back to sleep.
Mu Wanqing ate a bowl of light vegetable porridge, then sat back at the table and picked up a pen to write.
The night deepened, and gradually, the morning star rose in the east.
A new day has begun.
The next afternoon, Mu Wanqing finally woke up, yawned and got up.
She ate it with fried eggs and porridge. She was not picky as there was not much to eat in the middle of winter.
As soon as she put down her chopsticks, Yu Wanrou came in, "Are you looking for me?"
Mu Wanqing pointed to the chair opposite and said directly, "According to what we agreed beforehand, you can come and go freely when you arrive in Liangcheng. What do you think?"
Yu Wanrou was not an exiled prisoner and was free to come and go, but she had nowhere to go. "I want to stay here, by your side."
Mu Wanqing taught her a lot, and her thinking changed a lot. Women also have many choices and are not just puppets bound by the three obediences and four virtues.
Of course, the most important thing is that Mu Wanqing makes her feel safe.
Mu Wanqing was able to use her smoothly and intended to train her to be an all-round secretary. "Okay, I'll leave you a shop and register it directly under your name. You can do business with it or rent it out. It's up to you."
Yu Wanrou's eyes lit up. "Really? What kind of shop is it?"
Mu Wanqing took out the result of her hard work overnight and said, "Take a look at this blueprint. What do you think?"
This is a sketch drawn by Mu Wanqing herself. It is a snack street with shops on both sides, and each shop has a shop in front and a workshop in the back.
"I renovated it a bit. The store faces the street and is divided into two floors. The back is the workshop and the last one is the residence. The middle can be separated and it is not affected at all. You can open a back door and walk out from the outside."
In order to save space, all the rooms are designed with two floors, so even if each room is only about 50 square meters, it is enough for a snack bar.
As for the residence, it is divided into four rooms, upstairs and downstairs, enough for four or five people.
Yu Wanrou liked it as soon as she saw it. It was a small room, enough for her and her nanny to live in. "My room should be next to yours."
"Okay." Mu Wanqing pointed at the ten rooms in the middle. These were the ones she picked for herself. "Five for me, one for my eldest brother and one for my second brother, two for my parents, and one for you."
In this way, the last entrance can be directly opened up, the space becomes larger and more comfortable to live in.
Even if my brothers get married and have children in the future and we divide the property among them, it will be fine if we just separate them in the middle.
Of course, the premise is that there is no better development.
"In this way, the entire Mu family will be settled." Mu Wanqing smiled meaningfully, "However, they only have the right to use the house, but your house can be registered on the title deed."
Yu Wanrou was extremely satisfied, with a gleam in her eyes, "It would be better to dig a well so that it would be convenient to get water."
Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Yes, but I'm still considering whether to put it in the workshop or at home."
However, there should be a shortage of water here. Can we dig a well? Let's check it out first.
"Then let's just run a workshop. Making money is what matters." Under the influence of a group of enthusiastic workers, Yu Wanrou is no longer ashamed to talk about money.
Money is a good thing.
"Well, let me think about it again. Is there a solution that has the best of both worlds?"
On the third day, Mu Wanqing appeared in the yamen with a plan.
In addition to Lord Qian, there was also a group of officials in official uniforms, like the exotic animals in a zoo, except for the magnifying glasses.
Mu Wanqing looked calm and let them watch. Her beautiful eyes looked at the only two people she knew, Lord Qian and the chief officer, and she stepped forward to greet them with a smile on her lips.
Her manners were elegant and calm, and she kept her composure, acting like a true lady.
However, the lady would probably be nervous and lose her composure being surrounded by so many officials.
Lord Qian looked at the girl who was calmer than anyone else and couldn't help but cheer in his heart. This level of self-cultivation alone was more than enough for her to surpass countless others.
Even if he is just pretending, he is still better than ordinary people.
"Miss Mu, this is Mr. Jiang, and this is Mr. Sun, the Vice Governor."
Mu Wanqing then looked at the two of them. The current acting chief of Liangcheng was a handsome young man named Jiang, who was the husband of the eldest daughter of the Du family.
One is a well-mannered middle-aged scholar named Sun. He is Commander Du’s most trusted confidant and is known for his strategy.
"Mu Wanqing has met Lord Jiang and Lord Sun."
She just needs to follow the order of introduction as others have given her, and there won't be any big mistakes.
Sun Tongzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, "I heard that you are planning to build a snack street?"
This is quite like a three-court trial. Mu Wanqing has a strong psychological quality. "Yes, this is the plan I wrote overnight. Please read it, Mr. Tongzhi."
She wrote in great detail, including how to do the preliminary preparations, how to purchase goods, how to build a snack street, how to open and operate the business, and even calculated the required costs. The details were very detailed.
Even the overall architectural plan of the snack street is provided.
It's very complicated and confusing, but it looks quite reliable.
The officials gathered together to look through a thick stack of plans, with different expressions on their faces.
Sun Tongzhi held the overall architectural map of the snack street, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It was too specific and vivid, and he could understand it just by looking at it.
This painting technique seems to be a new genre?
Mu Wanqing not only presented the drawings, but also analyzed each link.
Finally, she concluded, "Only when money flows can the local economy be boosted. What Liangcheng needs now is an industrial pillar."
As for what the pillar industries are, you can figure it out for yourself.
"Now, I just need a farm to grow a variety of vegetables and fruits, so that I can connect the upstream and downstream."
Jiang Tongzhi frowned slightly, "But, once you have a farm, how do you drive these industries?"
It was obvious that he was an amateur. Mu Wanqing felt that his position as Tongzhi was just for the purpose of keeping in charge, after all, he was the son-in-law of the Du family.
"What is an industry? It is the general term for countless similar economic activities. How can there be an industry with just one company? My farm plays a leading role, telling everyone what the market needs. I can even sell seeds to everyone so that everyone can make money together."
Jiang Tongzhi couldn't help but ask, "Why not distribute seeds?"
He was a military officer and was only responsible for the connection between the military camps. Agricultural affairs and urban management were under the jurisdiction of Sun Tongzhi.
Mu Wanqing resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "We don't value free things. That's human nature."
The officials present were silent. Jiang Tongzhi pursed his lips and said, "Then how can you guarantee that your farm will be successful?"
Mu Wanqing was extremely impatient. What kind of guarantee could there be? "You can't even do such a simple thing. You might as well hang yourself with a rope. I can only say that I am not just myself. I have someone behind me."
The officials' mouths twitched. It was strange that this arrogant temperament was not annoying, but even a little cute.
Jiang Tongzhi looked at her for a while, and suddenly said something shocking, "The last question, aren't you afraid that if you become too powerful, the government will confiscate your property? You know, even if you have someone behind you, your identity is embarrassing, so it's reasonable for the government to confiscate your property."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
"Hahaha." Mu Wanqing laughed loudly, breaking the silence.
Jiang Tongzhi felt that she was laughing at him and was dissatisfied. "What are you laughing at?"
Mu Wanqing still prefers dealing with military officers. They are honest and speak their mind directly, which is good.
Unlike civil servants, who let you guess and guess until you guess it.
"Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, are the Xiliang government so stupid? If I can build a snack street, I can naturally build countless specialty streets and create a prosperous commercial city."
The light in her eyes made everyone look at her sideways. What a bold girl.
One official couldn't help but say, "You are arrogant."
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "Wrong, I have a clear understanding of my abilities."
Most of the officials in Liangcheng are here, so let them see it for themselves. The first impression is very important.
"There are so many people in the Mu family, young and old, but I, a daughter of a concubine, suddenly became the head of the family. Why?"
"I didn't know the officers when I left the capital, but now they are my most loyal subordinates. Why?"
"When I left the capital, I only had four sets of clothes, but now I have enough money to build a snack street. Why?"
These three questions touched the hearts of the officials, and this was what they wanted to know. Why?
This is the real reason why they all gathered here. I just can’t figure it out.
Mu Wanqing touched her face. "Because of my noble character? Because I win people over with my virtue? Because of my beauty?"
"Neither." She said in a teasing tone, relaxed and humorous, "Winning by doing nothing? Can you believe such a good thing still exist in this day and age? Excuses, all excuses."
She knows her own limitations. She has a good foundation, but she hasn't fully grown up yet. She can't compare with Mu Jinyao's beauty.
Besides, which man would be completely blinded by beauty? The so-called beauty is a disaster, but an excuse to cover up a man's incompetence and lack of morality.
"Does everyone want to know the reason?"
