"Lord Li is wrong. In fact, I have other thoughts in my heart. I just hope that you don't laugh when I say it." Mu Yunyao lowered her head and lowered her eyes slightly, her smile a little more uneasy.
"Miss, please tell me." "In the past period of time in Jingling City, my mother and I have come into contact with many ladies and young ladies in the house. Each of them is very kind-hearted and takes great care of us. Before, my adoptive mother We were discussing with me about cooking porridge on Laba day. Many ladies regret not being able to participate.
It is a meaningful act of kindness for the entire Jingling City. Master Li thinks that if it is feasible, can you call on more people to participate in it? "
Li Manian's eyes moved, and he quickly thought about it: "The girl is really smart, if more people participate, it will be a blessing for the people of Jingling City!"
Mu Yunyao nodded: "It's fine if you don't think I'm fanciful, but I still have to trouble the adults to handle things. Niyunfang and Buxianlou, everything is subject to the arrangements of the adults."
"Okay, the girl's credit, I will report it one by one."
"Everything is arranged by the adults. I only paid a few silver taels, which is not a credit."
After Li Manian and Mu Yunyao finished talking about business, Mrs. Zhou left Mu Yunyao to go back after dinner in the mansion, but she rejected her on the grounds of going home to pack her things.
Mrs. Zhou ordered someone to send Mu Yunyao home, and after she left, she couldn't help but exclaim: "If it wasn't for Mu Yunyao's low background, I would have brought her to the Zhou family. With her intelligence and behavior, I would definitely be right. The family helps a lot."
Li Mu smiled young: "You think her background is too low, but you can't say she can't see Zhou's family? This girl Mu has a very good mind."
Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean by that, sir?"
"Madam, don't be angry, it's not that I don't look down on Yue-Zhang's family, but I look at Mu Yunyao's words and deeds, and feel that she is not something in the pool. Madam thinks why she hurriedly gave back to the people of Jingling City when she was about to leave. Things?"
Mrs. Zhou's eyes moved: "... This is... to make a name for yourself, by the way, give the Su family a slap in the face?" "Since this time, the Li family has been suppressed by the emperor, and the Su family is very proud," Li Manian smiled and nodded in recognition. "I'll find someone to discuss it now. If it's too late, I'll stay in the study room. Madam doesn't have to wait for me. If Mu Yunyao wants to light a fire, I'll add two more firewood for her and pour another
scoop of hot oil…”
In the next period of time, many people found that the entire Jingling City seemed to be busy, and Mu Yunyao joined forces with the silver taels donated by other houses, and the total amounted to 150,000 taels. Li Manian is also a courageous person. He did not use all the silver to buy grain and distribute it to the people, but set aside part of it to build canals, repair rivers, rebuild streets, and rebuild the Salesian Bureau... All kinds of good deeds, Make the entire Jingling City look prosperous, as if the future is full of
full of infinite vitality. After hearing the news, the people ran to tell each other, especially Mu Yunyao, who donated 100,000 taels of silver, used to think her Niyunfang and Buxianlou were enviable, but now they know that she will earn silver taels a year. After taking them all out, even the jealous colleagues raised their thumbs in admiration.
Voice.
Mammy Wen and others stood by the window of Buxian Building, and they could see the entire Su family clearly from here.
At the entrance of Su's house, many people brought fruits and vegetables, quietly placed them at the door and saluted, and then left directly. Some people even tied up a few hens and put them in baskets and left them by the door.
Mama Liu, who came with Mama Wen, had a bad look: "This young lady is really good at winning a good name. In terms of reputation alone, I am afraid that even the eldest lady is slightly inferior."
Madam Wen turned her head and glanced at her, Madam Liu was someone close to the eldest lady, although she was not a confidant, she trusted her quite a bit, and she had a bit of face in the Su family: "What are the two of them comparable to? ?"
Madam Liu raised the corners of her mouth: "It's really nothing compared!" One is a phoenix flying in the sky, and the other is a pheasant slicing on the ground.
Mother Wen lowered her eyelids and said nothing.
Batches of grain were sent to Jingling City, and many surrounding cities were shaken. I don't know how many people envied the people in Jingling City! Over the past year, the entire Jingling City has undergone tremendous changes. The women in Jingling City have learned the best embroidery skills, and they can earn silver taels with a little bit of needlework. With Xianlou as a support, there are frequent merchants, even those who work hard.
Other places earn more than ten pennies a day.
After Mu Yunyao heard that someone had put things at the door of Su's house, she quickly wrote a sign and hung it out, hoping that the people would not be so polite, but hanging the sign did not work at all, and the people continued to put it at her door one after another thing.
After thinking about it carefully, Mu Yunyao asked people to gather up the things and put them in the Jinxiu Garden, just waiting to give back to the people of the city who made these things into food that day, so that more people could benefit. After hearing about it, the people couldn't help being even more moved. Many people specially sent things to Jinxiu Garden, begging Steward Qin to accept it, saying that they would also contribute to the people of the city, and many merchants also rushed over. The status of businessmen is not high, and in the past they were quite unwelcome, but since the establishment of Mu
After Yunyao has done good deeds for the people many times, the people of Jingling City have changed a lot in their attitude towards the merchants. The merchants naturally reciprocated, hoping to earn some good reputation for themselves.
Mu Yunyao did not make decisions without authorization. After recording the people who wanted to donate money, she sent the list to Li Manian.
Li Manian is not a pedantic person, nor does he mean to look down on the merchants. After learning about it, he specially asked the government to issue a notice in recognition of the merchants who volunteered to donate silver taels. The merchants who went to send the silver almost knocked down the threshold of the yamen. The silver taels that Li Manian received were more than 40,000 taels again. After he made up the silver taels to 200,000 taels, part of it was used to buy food, and the other part was written as a notice and posted on the wall at the gate of the government office, stating the remaining silver taels. is to stay for a rainy day, and now it is
The weather in Mausoleum City is good, and it is used now, but it is just a icing on the cake for the people, but if there is a year of famine, these silver taels can save the lives of countless people.
In order to prevent the people from thinking too much, he wrote the item of silver and silver very clearly, and explained that in the future what the silver and silver were used to buy, he would post a notice to notify the people of the city.
The people are not greedy, and after hearing about it, they think it makes sense, and not many people object. After preparing for nearly half a month, on the 20th of July, a drizzle rained in the early morning. After the sky was clear, the wind was gentle and the weather was surprisingly refreshing. The people of Jingling City took to the streets one after another, concentrating on the Buxian Building. on a few nearby streets.
