After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister - Chapter 321

The opening of the library caused a sensation in the whole city, especially those who were reading excitedly.

Everyone can enter, but there are two rules, one must keep quiet and keep clean.

One, do not destroy or soil the books.

Scholars straighten their clothes and hair, hold their hair numbers, and enter the library in a pilgrimage-like mood. The windows are clean and bright.

The bright sun shone in and shone on her body, making her feel indescribably comfortable.

There are house newspapers and newspapers for everyone to read, and the green plants by the window are lush and vibrant.

The first floor to the fifth floor are full of books, there are many categories, many books have not been opened, and there is a row of empty chairs by the window.

The scholars found a book they liked and sat by the window, looking hungry.

All books can be read, and some are out-of-print books that are not available in the world.

But if you want to take it out, you have to get a library card with your identity and address on it, and you need to pay a deposit.

Of course, as long as you return the book properly, your deposit will be refunded.

If you are tired and thirsty from reading, you can order a cup of tea and a few plates of snacks to rest.

The taste of the dim sum in the library is amazing, the price is not cheap, but not expensive.

If it’s time for dinner, you can go to the cafeteria on the sixth floor for a light meal.

Popular prices, the taste is not bad, the key is cleanliness and time saving.

In this way, the income and expenditure are balanced, and there is no need to add money to it.

Many people just fill their stomachs here and hurriedly go back to read.

Scholars from poor backgrounds are allowed to bring unscented steamed buns, and the library provides boiled water for free.

 

If you come across a book you like, you can book it with the library, or you can transcribe a copy yourself.

The scholars are grateful to the Qingping County Master. These are the books that the dignitaries cherished, but let them read and copy for free. This is a great gift.

In the past, precious books were monopolized by the upper echelons, and some people never saw such precious books in their entire lives, how can people not be grateful?

The library is always overcrowded and there are no empty seats, so just sit on the floor and get a number in advance every day to limit the number of people.

Of course, borrowing books for home reading is no problem.

Even the scholars from other places heard about this and rushed to the capital to rent a house, hoping to borrow more books to read.

On this day, Mu Wanqing happened to pass by, so she went in and took a look.

She dresses very low-key, and everyone’s mind is on the books, so they didn’t notice her coming.

She glanced at the first floor and found an interesting phenomenon. The reading room in the south was full of women, and the reading room in the north was full of men.

Is this something they negotiated?

This is a great improvement.

An old farmer whose clothes were all patches and his face was weathered stood at the door and did not dare to go in. He only dared to ask the staff on duty guarding the door.

“My lord, I…”

A scholar walked in from the outside and was immediately annoyed when he saw this scene, frowning, “How do you let such a vulgar old peasant enter the sacred library? Fork him out.”

The old peasant had a look of fear on his face, and quickly turned to go out, but was stopped by the staff on duty.

“The library is open to the people of the whole country, including people from all walks of life, and old farmers can also enter.”

She looked at the scholar, “If you are dissatisfied, you can choose to leave.”

Most of the library staff are women, who are responsible for sorting books, and half are men, who are responsible for carrying and doing rough work.

These staff have received professional training before opening and are very disciplined.

The scholar was unhappy and wanted to argue with the staff, but the staff pointed to the slogan on the side, and shouted away in the library, and was not allowed to come in again.

The scholar had to shut up and ran into the reading room sullenly.

The staff looked at the old farmer with a smile, “This old man, what do you want to say?”

Her tone was gentle and gave the old farmer great encouragement, “I heard that books can be borrowed for free here, I want to…borrow a few agricultural books for farming, will it work?”

The attitude of the staff is very good, “Yes, the agricultural book is on the first floor, I will lead you up.”

The old farmer refused to enter. He was illiterate and asked the staff to choose him.

After a while, the staff came over with books in hand, “Can the three books, “Book of Pansheng”, “Qi Min Yao Shu”, and “Agricultural Zheng Quan Shu” be okay? Only one time can only be free Borrow three copies for a period of one month, if you want to borrow more, you have to go through the renewal procedures.”

The old farmer was very excited, “Okay, just these few books, thank you so much.”

During the formalities, a scholar came over curiously, “Are you literate?”

“No, but the baby in the family can read.” When he said this, the old farmer looked proud, “My eldest granddaughter comes first in the exam every year, and the family plans to let her go to middle school and university, as long as she If you can pass the exam, you can offer it.”

The staff couldn’t help laughing, “That’s great, I can get a job like me after I finish middle school, and I will definitely be a female official in college.”

More and more women are appearing in all walks of life. Everyone has seen it and accepted the reality calmly.

It’s not acceptable if you don’t accept it, this is the general trend.

The old farmer’s simple face was full of happy smiles.

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, which was one of the reasons why she opened the library.

Hope, more and more people will learn useful knowledge and change their destiny.

She didn’t stay too long, after a few glances, she turned around and went to the prosperous mansion.

This is the first top-notch real estate in Beijing. It is the best level of existing technology. Whether it is layout or decoration, it is perfect. The community is picturesque, like being in a park.

It stands to reason that if you want luxury, you should build a villa community, but after thinking about it, she gave up this plan.

What she created is a trend-setting trend and a model.

The gate is heavily guarded, only the residents of the community can enter, even relatives must obtain the consent of the residents to enter.

After entering the community, there are three steps and one post, with patrols.

Each building is guarded by a layer of security guards. These security guards are the personal strength of the residents, which makes them feel at ease.

In other words, living here has excellent privacy and safety factor.

Mu Wanqing took down the entire building and lived on the fifth floor herself, while the rest was for her parents and brothers.

The first floor was completely converted into a servant’s room.

The house here has been sold, and there is no one.

The courtiers who usually cry about being poor, buy a house very quickly.

Buy fewer ancient paintings.

Mu Wanqing was meeting with people from the Ministry of Industry today, and she took everyone around the community.

The officials above the fourth rank have come here, but the ones below are not there, and their eyes are straight.

The Minister of Workers asked softly, “Master Qingping, do you think this model can be replicated?”

They never thought that the house could be built like this before, and they could live like this.

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, “Yes, let’s practice with Beicheng first, and come to an urban area for renovation.”

Building a house is a matter of the Ministry of Works, and she has no intention of intervening.

The Minister of Industry was very interested, “How do you say?”

“Have you all been to Beicheng? The environment is not so bad.” Mu Wanqing said with a smile, “I was wondering if I could take the land of the poor and send them a message. Set up a community house and pay some resettlement fees. In this way, the urban area has been renovated and the living conditions of the people have been improved. The Ministry of Industry can also make some money.”

The Ministry of Industry officials looked at her like a monster, it was incredible.

The Minister of Industry suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, “How is this possible? This house is worth 10,000 yuan, how much is a broken house worth for poor people?”

“Let’s change our thinking.” These people are not stupid, but are fixed by the old model, and Mu Wanqing patiently guides them.

“This floor has more than 100 square meters. If it is small, it will be 30 square meters for one room and one living room, 50 square meters for one room and one living room, and 70 square meters for three bedrooms and one living room. A six-storey building can live in thirty-six families, and a community is counted as thirty buildings, how many families are there?”

Many poor families are crowded in dilapidated houses of more than ten square meters, and it is uncomfortable to watch.

“1080.” The left servant of the Ministry of Industry has a strong mental arithmetic ability.

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, “What if there were ten communities?”

 

But, how to make a profit? Never lose money.

Mu Wanqing felt that such a building would be very popular, “The community does not need to be equipped with so many security guards, it only needs two at the gate, and the greening and supporting facilities are cut off, and the rough cement room is only needed. , so the cost will come down.”

The requirements of ordinary people are not high, the rough cement room is clean, there are large glass windows, and a separate kitchen and bathroom are hundreds of times better than dilapidated houses.

“We build a commercial street outside the community, and if all the shops are sold, we can recover a little cost. As a result, this street can meet the living needs of the residents nearby and create jobs. ”

“Who will buy it?” The Minister of Industry is not very optimistic.

Half of it is sold to the outside world, so it is not at a loss.”

It is not easy to live in Beijing. There are dozens of families living in a large courtyard, some of which are rented houses.

“Let’s just say, people with some money are willing to buy such a house to live in?”

 

It is better to buy such a house than renting a house, mainly for convenience and peace of mind.

This is not a loss.

“When there are more people, we can also build school pharmacy and other supporting facilities to drive popularity.” Mu Wanqing simply said a few more words, “And for the extra land, we can talk to businessmen Cooperative development, they pay, we go out, this is not a white wolf with empty gloves.”

“We can also sell the land, which will be discussed later.”

The Ministry of Industry officials listened even more eagerly. She suddenly stopped talking. The Minister of Industry moved her lips, but she swallowed the words.

Forget it, then later.

These alone are enough for them to digest for a long time.

She is so young, how can she have so many good ideas for making money?

It can only be said that it is a gift.

Mu Wanqing is looking forward to it, “It can also drive the construction and wood industry, raw materials, furniture, decoration, dental shops, property and other industries, and absorb a large number of labor forces. With spending power, we can promote development in all aspects.”

The Minister of Industry was excited by what she said, “Qingping County Master, you can talk too much, I was successfully persuaded by you.”

I originally wanted to replicate a high-end residential area, but at this time, I think it is more interesting and fulfilling to renovate the old area.

This is a great deed for the benefit of the people, and he also wants to do something that will last forever.

“Hahaha, in fact, this has nothing to do with me. Your Ministry of Industry has made political achievements.” Mu Wanqing is from the Ministry of Household, and the money has to come from her, “I still feel bad about money. ”

The Minister of Industry was silent and had to admit that she was a good official who thought about the people.

She has all kinds of means, but she cares about the people and is dedicated to the welfare of the people.

In this way, the Ministry of Industry first made a plan and took it to the court for discussion. After repeated discussions, the emperor finally made the decision and first drew an area for experimentation.

As one of the elders, Mu Wanqing voted in favor.

“Retreat.” The **** chief shouted, and everyone left.

Mu Wanqing hurriedly called the Minister of Industry, “Sir, I’ll give you a present.”

The emperor withdrew his footsteps, and the officials also withdrew their footsteps toward the outside, and looked at them in unison.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was flattered, and she never gave gifts except to the royal family.

They have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and they haven’t even received a New Year’s gift, okay?

Mu Wanqing clapped her palms, and the two guards came in with a large package.

The Minister of Industry is eager to try, “Can I read it now?”

“Look.” Mu Wanqing raised her hand, and the guard opened the package.

Hey, what is this? Fragmented, messy.

Mu Wanqing stood still, while the two guards neatly arranged things.

After a while, a real estate sand table appeared, lifelike.

Everyone swarmed around, “What is this?”

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry has understood it clearly. He squatted on the ground and watched intently, “It’s a residential area. Thank you, Lord Qingping. I like this gift very much.”

With this sand table, it is much more convenient to communicate with the people.

It’s still Mu Wanqing’s brain.

Mu Wanqing specially made a model, the pattern is clear at a glance, and each building is marked.

“It’s not the same as the prosperous mansion, but the shape is okay.” The emperor also came around, “But isn’t the house too small?”

Mu Wanqing pointed to another location, “It’s not too small, come and take a look at these room molds.”

“This is a three-bedroom, 70-square-meter living room with independent kitchen and bathroom, two south-facing rooms, and a small north-facing room, enough for a family of seven or eight people.”

“The master bedroom is for the elders, the second bedroom is for a boy and a girl, so everything is enough.”

Someone couldn’t help but interject, “Some have not yet separated.”

“Then buy all the ground floor and live in one for one room.” Mu Wanqing hesitated for a while, “But it’s better to break it up to facilitate management.”

Everyone looked at each other and understood.

“Master Qingping, come and give advice when you are free.” This time, the Minister of Industry was convinced, “Why don’t you be a consultant for us.”

“I’m not free.” Mu Wanqing has done everything she should have done, and it’s time to move on to the next project, “Let our Ministry’s Zuo Shi Lang be a consultant, he will follow the whole process. ”

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry thinks about it, this is fine too.

In this way, the Ministry of Industry vigorously carried out the renovation of the old city.

Mu Wanqing no longer pays attention to this one. She stared at the customs tariff in front of her for a long time, and got up to ask the emperor.

Her first sentence was, “Your Majesty, can I see the map of the sea area?”

The emperor looked at her fixedly, “What’s your idea?”

“Can you?” Mu Wanqing didn’t say the reason, it was just a guess.

The emperor rubbed her eyebrows, and she was about to start acting as a demon again.

However, she is reluctant to reject her, she can make a new world every time, and the money is rolling in.

“I want to think about it.”

“Okay.” Mu Wanqing did not insist, “Then I will take a vacation and go to the nearby mountains and play.”

As soon as she heard that she was going to go out, several princesses immediately ran over and asked to go together.

This frightened Mu Wanqing, she turned her head and ran away without saying a word.

What a joke, how can you fly with the princess?

Who cares if something goes wrong?

As soon as she left the palace, she saw Mu Ji anxiously guarding the carriage, “Patriarch, Brother Zicheng has been entangled, go and see.”

Mu Wanqing:…? ? ? How could someone dare to pester her big brother?

Imperial Bank Headquarters

Every day there are long queues waiting to do business, people come and go, it is always so lively.

And today, everyone is out of business, craned their necks to watch the fun.

A well-dressed noble girl wrapped her whole body around Mu Zicheng, “Brother Zicheng, I really love you, I just want to be with you without asking for a title.”

Mu Zicheng’s face was blue, and she couldn’t pull off the dead skin plaster. The security guards were stopped by several strong men and couldn’t get in.

“Our Mu clan’s clan rules, only forty children can take concubines, I already have sons and daughters.”

“Then you stop your wife and marry again? Forget it, I won’t embarrass you, I’ll be your equal wife, this is not against your clan rules.” Now, don’t you want to be responsible?”

Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they were as excited as chicken blood.

A cool voice sounded, “How are you? Sleeping?”

Mu Zicheng was shocked, as excited as seeing a savior, “No, absolutely not, sister, help me quickly.”

He has never seen such a entanglement, he can’t run away no matter how much he rushes, and he is particularly shameless.

With a wave of Mu Wanqing’s little hand, the guards beside her rushed up and cleared everyone who was blocking the way.

Tear off the young woman from Mu Zicheng again, it’s a tear!

Mu Zicheng ran over, hid behind Mu Wanqing, wiped the sweat on her forehead, scared to death.

Mu Wanqing looked at the young girl, a strange face, “Who is this?”

“I am the Princess Zhaoyang, my mother is Princess Liuyun, and my father is General Yuan.” The young woman has a beautiful face, and her eyebrows are full of pride.” You are brother Zicheng’s sister, that is my own sister, and I will cover you in the future.”

Mu Wanqing:…

It turned out that she was the Lord of Zhaoyang County. She came back to visit her relatives and sent a message to the emperor, but the emperor was too busy and did not take time to summon him for the time being.

“Ling Zun has been stationed in the southeastern coastal area for many years, with outstanding military exploits and great reputation. Don’t ruin his good reputation.”

The Yuan family is the overlord of one party, stationed in the southeast for generations, the first emperor deliberately married the princess in order to attract people’s hearts.

It’s too far away, every time the housekeeper comes to Beijing to deliver things, the Yuan family has never returned to Beijing…

No, the county owner came back to the capital, but came to entangle mu Zicheng?

This is not normal, it is not normal.

Zhaoyang County advocates Yangji, “We southeastern women dare to love and hate, I like your brother and want him to be my county horse.”

Mu Wanqing squinted slightly and asked calmly, “Then do you know who he is?”

“I know, Mu Zicheng, who is in charge of the bank.” Zhaoyang County Master’s words changed, “No, he is in charge of the bank.”

Mu Wanqing gave her a deep look, “Zhaoyang County Lord, find a place to talk.”

The normal answer is that he is the eldest brother of Qingping County Lord.

“Okay.”

The group disappeared at the entrance of the stairs, and everyone sighed in disappointment, not watching.

However, there is enough to talk about, go home and share with friends and family.

The love-hate relationship between the brother of the Qingping County Lord and the Zhaoyang County Lord is quite interesting.

Entering the VIP room, Mu Wanqing waved everyone away, leaving Zhaoyang County Lord and Mu Zicheng behind.

The house of the Zhaoyang County Lord refused to leave, and was dragged out by the guards.

“Tell me, what do you want to do?”

Zhaoyang County Lord looked at Mu Zicheng affectionately, “I said, I like Mu Zicheng, I’ll go to ask the emperor to marry him.”

Mu Zicheng got goosebumps all over, “sister, I don’t like her, I didn’t mess around.”

 

Mu Wanqing leaned back on the chair lazily, “Stop pretending, to be honest, no one outside dares to eavesdrop.”

Zhaoyang County Lord froze for a moment, “I don’t understand what you mean.”

Mu Wanqing said lightly, “Women from aristocratic families have been memorizing genealogy since childhood, and have a certain understanding of every major clan, and even the most sloppy young lady will be able to easily access the network of connections of each family. , this is a lesson that every child of an aristocratic family must learn.”

I don’t know, mu Zicheng is my brother, and it’s well known to everyone, how could such important information be missed?”

In fact, in the eyes of Zhaoyang County Lord, there is no love, it is more like a performance.

She was naturally suspicious, “Or, rather than missing it, come to me specifically, my brother is just a stepping stone.”

The pupils of Zhaoyang County Lord’s pupils dilated uncontrollably.

She guessed right, Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, “Tell me, why do you use such extreme means?”

“You are smarter than I thought.” Zhaoyang County Master put away her **** color, her gorgeous face was full of indifference, this is her true face. “You passed my test.”

Mu Zicheng: … grass is a plant.

Is he a tool for assessment?

“You deliberately ruined my reputation and deceived people too much.”

Zhaoyang County Lord’s eyes were slightly dark, “I actually really want to marry into the Mu family, Qingping County Lord, you are so smart to guess the reason, and you will get a prize if you guess.”

This is another test? Mu Wanqing’s mind turned away, “It’s nothing more than love and hatred, love, don’t see it, cross it out.”

She took out a pen and paper, listed several items, and crossed them out one by one.

“Hate? Our Mu family and Yuan family don’t know each other. Where does the hatred come from?”

 

Mu Wanqing stroked her forehead and sighed, “Then, there is only one possibility.”

Zhaoyang County Master picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if to hide something. “what?”

Mu Wanqing closed her eyes and spit out two words with difficulty, “Avoid disaster.”

This is the last thing she wants to guess. The deep-seated reason behind it can make a girl with such a noble identity self-defeating to avoid disaster.

“Bang dang.” The sound of the teacup falling to the ground sounded.

The faces of the three people present changed, oh well, things are serious.
