"Lord Li is flattering me. Actually, I have other thoughts in my mind. I'm just saying it out loud. Lord, I hope you won't tease me." Mu Yunyao lowered her head slightly, a trace of nervousness in her smile.
"Please speak, my lady." During this time in the Tomb City, my mother and I have come into contact with many of the madams and misses of the mansion. Previously, my foster mother and I were discussing how to prepare the porridge in Laba. Many of the madams were regretful that they were unable to participate. This time around, we can be considered as having ...
This is a good deed that will benefit the entire Tomb City. Sir Li, if it's feasible, can you please gather more people and let them participate? "
Li Mu Nian's eyes moved and quickly thought about it: "Lady is truly intelligent, if more people were to join in, it would be a fortunate thing for the citizens of Ziling City!"
Mu Yunyao nodded."It's good that sire doesn't think I'm being whimsical. I'll have to trouble sire to manage this matter. Nebula Market and No Envy Pavilion, I'll follow sire's arrangements."
"Alright, I will report all of lady's contributions to you in full."
"Everything was arranged by the lord. I just paid some silver coins, so it can't be considered as a big deal."
After Li Munian and Mu Yunyao finished talking about their proper business, Madame Zhou asked Mu Yunyao to return after having dinner in the mansion, but was rejected by her as the reason to go home and pack up her things.
Madame Zhou ordered someone to send Mu Yunyao home. After she had left, she couldn't help but praise, "If Mu Yunyao's origin wasn't that low, I would even want to bring her to the Zhou Family. With her intelligence and disposition, she will definitely be of great help to the family."
Li Mu let out a young laugh, "You think that her birth is too low, but who knows if she might look down on the Zhou Family? This Lady Mu has quite an interesting mind."
Madam Zhou raised her brows."Master, what do you mean by that?"
"Madam, please don't be angry, it's not that I don't like the Yuechan clan, but Mu Yunyao's every word and action, and I don't think she's a person from the pond. Why does Madam think that before she left, she has to quickly gather information on the people of Ziling City?"
Madame Zhou's eyes moved."........." This was ... "You want to make a name for yourself and give the Su Clan a show of strength?" During this period of time, the Li family has been suppressed by the Emperor. The Su family is very proud, "Li Mu Nian smiled and nodded, admitting it, " I will find someone to discuss now. If it's too late, we can sleep in the study room. Mu Yunyao wanted to light the fire, so I added two sticks of firewood and poured another one for her.
"Hot oil..."
In the following period of time, many commoners discovered that the entire Tomb City seemed to be bustling with activity. Mu Yunyao combined the silver donated by the other residences to a total of one hundred and fifty thousand silver taels. Li Munian was also a courageous person. He did not use all of his silver taels to buy food for the commoners, but instead used a portion of his silver taels to build water canals, repair rivers, rebuild the streets, and rebuild the Children's Bureau ... All sorts of benevolent deeds were done, causing the entire Tomb City to appear prosperous and flourishing, as if the future had already been filled ...
It was filled with boundless vitality. When the commoners heard the news, they spread the news, especially Mu Yunyao, who had donated a hundred thousand taels of silver. Previously, they had thought that her Nebula Pavilion and not Envy Pavilion was too eye-catching, but now that they knew she had taken out all the silver she had earned in a year, even those jealous of them couldn't help but give a thumbs-up in admiration.
Sound.
Wen mama and the others stood next to the window of the Unenviable Pavilion, allowing them to see the entire Su Clan clearly.
In front of the Su Clan's residence, many people brought over fruits and vegetables. They quietly placed them at the door to pay their respects before leaving. There were even a few hens tied together and left them by the door.
Senior Servant Liu, who had accompanied Senior Servant Wen, had an unfriendly look in her eyes."This Miss Biao really knows how to win good names. In terms of reputation alone, she's probably even slightly inferior to Eldest Miss."
Senior Servant Wen turned around and glanced at her. Senior Servant Liu was someone close to the first wife. Although she couldn't be considered a confidant, she still had quite a bit of trust in her and had some face in the Su Clan."What's so good about the two of them?"
The corner of Senior Servant Liu's mouth rose."Indeed, there's nothing like that!" One was a phoenix flying in the sky while the other was a pheasant that was digging on the ground. It was different from the root.
Senior Servant Wen shut her eyes and didn't say anything.
Batches after batches of food were sent into the Tombal Mountain City. Many of the surrounding cities were shaken as well. It was unknown just how many people were envious of the citizens of the Tombal Mountain City! Over the past year, the changes in the entire Tomb City could be said to have been earth-shaking. The women had learned the best embroidery craftsmanship, earning two taels of silver with a slight movement of their needlework.
He earned more than ten cents a day in his local area.
When Mu Yunyao heard that someone had placed something in front of the Su Family, she immediately wrote a sign and hung it up. She hoped that the citizens would not be so polite, but once the sign was hung up, it was completely useless.
Mu Yunyao carefully thought about it before ordering her people to pack the things up and place them in the embroidered garden. She was only waiting for the day when she would feed these things to the common people in the city so that more people could benefit from it. Many people specially delivered the items to the embroidered garden and begged Steward Qin to accept them, saying that they would also help the citizens of the city. Many merchants also rushed over, because the status of merchants was not high.
After Yun Yao had done many good deeds for the people, the attitude of the citizens towards the merchants had changed a lot. The merchants naturally returned the favor, hoping to earn some good reputation for themselves.
Mu Yunyao didn't decide on her own accord. She recorded down the person who wanted to donate the silver and passed the name list over to Li Munian.
Li Munian was not a pedant, nor did he look down on Shang Jia. After he knew about it, he even made the government issue a notice praising the merchant who offered the silver. The merchant who went to deliver the silver almost trampled the threshold of the yamen. After making up 200, 000 silver, he used some of it to buy food. The other part of it was written as a notice and was posted on the wall of the yamen, stating that the remaining silver was for future use. Now, he actually used it to buy food?
The weather in the Mausoleum City was smooth sailing. If he used it now, it would be like adding flowers to the flowers of the common people. However, if it was a year of disaster, these silver taels could save countless lives.
In order to prevent the citizens from thinking too much, he wrote down the items in the silver taels in detail. He also explained to them what kind of things they would buy in the future, then posted a notice to inform the entire city.
The commoners were not greedy, so they thought it made sense when they heard about it. There were not many people who objected. It had been almost half a month's preparation. On the 20th of July, a light drizzle had fallen in the morning. After the sky had cleared, the breeze was gentle and the weather was surprisingly fresh.
