Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 240 Give Back to the People

"Master Li is ridiculously praised. In fact, I also have other thoughts in my heart. I just hope that you will not laugh when I say it." Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her head and lowered her eyes, smiling a little more nervously.

"Girl, please tell."

"During the period of time in Jingling City, my mother and I have met many wives and young ladies in the mansion. Each of them is very kind-hearted and takes great care of us. Before that, my mother-in-law and I were discussing how to spend time in Laba. Many wives regretted not being able to participate in the porridge on this day. This time it can be regarded as a meaningful act of kindness for the entire Jingling City. If it is feasible, Mr. Li can call for more people to participate ?”

Li Munian's eyes moved, and then he thought quickly: "The girl is really smart, if more people participate, it will be a blessing to the people of Jingling City!"

Mu Yunyao nodded: "It's good that my lord doesn't think I'm whimsical, and I have to trouble my lord to handle things. Niyunfang and Buxianlou, everything is under the arrangement of my lord."

"Okay, I will report the girl's credits in detail."

"Everything is arranged by the adults. I just paid some silver taels, which is not considered any credit."

After Li Munian and Mu Yunyao finished their business, Mrs. Zhou left Mu Yunyao to go back after having dinner in the mansion, but she refused to go because she went home to pack her things.

Mrs. Zhou ordered someone to send Mu Yunyao home, and after she left, she couldn't help but admire: "If Mu Yunyao's family background was not too low, I would have mentioned her to the Zhou family. The family helps a lot."

Li Mu smiled youngly: "You think her background is too low, but you can't say that she still looks down on Zhou's family? Miss Mu is very thoughtful."

Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows: "What does the master mean by this?"

"Ma'am, Mo Nu, it's not that I don't look down on Yuezhang's family, but because of Mu Yunyao's words and deeds, I feel that she is not someone in the pool. Madam thinks why she hurriedly gave back to the people of Jingling City when she was leaving. Things?"

Mrs. Zhou's eyes moved: "...This is... to make a name for yourself, and give the Su family a blow by the way?"

"During this period of time, the Li family has been suppressed by the emperor, and the Su family is very proud." Li Munian admitted with a smile and nodded, "I will find someone to discuss it now. If it is late, I will stay in the study. Madam, there is no need to wait." Me, Mu Yunyao wanted to start a fire, so I added two handfuls of firewood for her, and poured a ladle of hot oil..."

In the next period of time, many people found that the entire Jingling City seemed to be busy. Mu Yunyao combined the silver taels donated by other houses, and the total amount reached 150,000 taels.

Li Munian is also a courageous person. He did not use all the silver to buy food and distribute it to the people, but set aside part of it for building canals, repairing river channels, rebuilding streets, and rebuilding Salesian Bureau... various charitable deeds , making the entire Jingling City appear to be thriving, as if the future is already full of infinite vitality.

After the common people heard the news, they rushed to tell each other, especially Mu Yunyao, who donated one hundred thousand taels of silver. Before, she thought her Niyunfang and Buxianlou were coveted, but now they know that the taels she will earn a year After taking out all of them, even the jealous colleagues couldn't help but raise their thumbs in admiration.

Mother Wen and the others stood by the window of the Buxian Building, from which they could see the entire Su family clearly.

At the gate of Su's house, many people brought fruits and vegetables, quietly placed them at the gate to salute, and then left directly. Some even tied a few hens and put them in baskets and left them by the gate.

Liu Nanny, who followed Nanny Wen, had a bad look in her eyes: "This cousin is really good at winning fame. In terms of reputation alone, I'm afraid that even the eldest lady is a little bit inferior."

Nanny Wen turned her head and glanced at her. Nanny Liu is someone close to the eldest lady. Although she is not a confidant, she trusts her quite a bit, and she has some face in the Su family: "What is the comparison between the two of them?" ?”

Grandma Liu raised her mouth, "There is really nothing comparable!" One is a phoenix flying in the sky, and the other is a pheasant eating on the ground, they are completely different from the root.

Nurse Wen lowered her eyelids and remained silent.

Batches of food were sent to Jingling City, and many surrounding cities were shaken. I don't know how many people are envious of the people in Jingling City!

Over the past year, the entire Jingling City has undergone earth-shaking changes. The women in Jingling City have learned the best embroidery skills, and can earn silver taels by doing a little sewing. The men have Niyunfang and different embroidery techniques. With Xianlou as the support, merchants come and go frequently, and even those who work as coolies can earn more than ten Wen per day than other places.

After Mu Yunyao heard that someone was putting things at the door of Su's house, she quickly wrote a sign and hung it up, hoping that the people would not be so polite, but the sign was put up, but it didn't work at all, and the people continued to put things on her door one after another. thing.

Mu Yunyao thought about it carefully, and then asked people to gather up the things and put them together in the Jinxiu Garden, just waiting to make these things into food for the people in the city to benefit more people.

The common people couldn't help being even more moved when they heard about it. Many people specially sent their things to Jinxiu Garden, begging Steward Qin to accept them, saying that they would also do their part for the people of the whole city, and many merchants also rushed over. The status of merchants is not high, and they were disliked by others in the past, but since Mu Yunyao has done good deeds for the people many times, the attitude of the people in Jingling City towards merchants has changed a lot. Earn some good name.

Mu Yunyao did not make the decision without authorization, and after recording the people who wanted to donate money, she sent the list to Li Munian.

Li Munian is not a pedantic person, nor does he mean to look down on merchants at all. After learning about it, he specially asked the government to issue a notice to commend the merchants who volunteered to donate silver.

Li Munian received nearly 40,000 taels of silver again. After he made up to 200,000 taels of silver, some of it was embezzled to buy grain, and the other part was written as a notice and posted on the wall at the entrance of the government office, stating the remaining silver taels It was kept in case of emergencies. Now that Jingling City is in good weather, using it now is just to add to the icing on the cake for the common people. However, in times of famine, these silver taels can save countless lives.

In order to prevent the common people from overthinking, he made the entry of the two silver items very clear, and explained that in the future, he would post a notice to inform the people of the whole city if the silver was used to buy anything.

The common people are not greedy people. After hearing this, they thought it made sense, and not many people opposed it.

After preparing for nearly half a month, on July 20th, there was a drizzle in the early morning. After the sky cleared, the wind was breezy and the weather was surprisingly refreshing. The people of Jingling City took to the streets one after another and gathered in the Buxian Tower in a few streets nearby.
