Chapter 1184 God of Wealth
Chapter 1184 God of Wealth
In the back hall, Zhou Hong's concubines and nobles were crowded in the Queen's Fengyi Hall, and the princes and princesses were standing behind their mothers.
Everyone was very scared, but no one dared to cry, because the queen did not cry. If Wu Yu State really broke into the capital and the palace, the prince would definitely die.
No one will be left alive. The princesses and the women will not be able to escape. After being humiliated, the princesses will not survive because the royal bloodline dare not be kept alive.
Therefore, they would rather die, but they are more afraid of living like that than dying.
However, he couldn't die yet. To die now would be equivalent to recognizing that the Xixiang Kingdom was going to perish. The soldiers were still fighting the enemy on the battlefield, so now was not the right time.
"Okay, go back to your own palaces first. Don't worry, based on my understanding of His Majesty, even if there is no way to escape this disaster, he will not abandon you and run with me and the princes. Even if we really die, we are a family together." Queen Shangguan Xia said with a smile.
After hearing this, the concubines and noble ladies wanted to cry even more, but they forced themselves to do so and stepped forward to take their leave.
Actually, what's there to worry about?
If the emperor really leaves, it would be impossible for him to take them all with him.
In this palace, the emperor was most likely to take the empress and the princes with him, and even the princesses might not be taken with him. As for the other concubines and nobles besides the empress, I am afraid that only the most favored ones would be lucky enough to be taken with him.
It's not that they think the emperor is heartless, but they all know in their hearts that if the time really comes when they have no other choice, bringing them along would be a burden!
"Daughter-in-law, His Majesty has left the court and gone to the imperial study." A supervisor came in and reported.
When Shangguan Xia heard this, she immediately stood up and walked out.
She remembered that women were not allowed to interfere in government affairs when she was going to see him, but she couldn't care less under the current circumstances.
Even if the consequence is to be deposed, now, whether this queen does it or not, she will eventually die.
Develop the duck farming industry, how to build a duck processing and production workshop, make the people of Baitang County rich, and the sales of professional egg-laying ducks.
As for duck eggs, teach them how to pickle them into salted duck eggs and preserved eggs that are easy to transport over long distances.
As for the duck, Mu Yingbao thought the most suitable thing to do was to make it into cured duck.
After the cured duck is prepared, it is shipped to various parts of the country for sale.
You can also connect with the Commerce Department and ship the products to foreign countries for sale.
After two days, County Magistrate Duan's admiration for Mu Yingbao became even greater.
My God, under the guidance of this first-rank lady, the whole body of a duck is useful and can be sold for money.
Ducks are used to make cured ducks, duck eggs are used to make preserved eggs and salted duck eggs, and delicacies made from duck intestines and duck blood cannot be sold far away, but they can be sold in nearby counties and cities.
The duck manure from large-scale duck farming can be applied to farmland to increase grain production.
Even duck feathers, Madam Yipin taught them how to collect the hemispherical feathers on the back, as well as the soft feathers on the body and tail, and how to clean, sterilize, dry and store them. Then, someone from the capital would come to buy them regularly.
Duan Jiuming also asked whether the preparation of the cured duck and preserved eggs could be the same as that of Yihai and registered with the Patent Department of the government.
Mu Yingbao said of course it was possible. Mu Yingbao had thought about this and the model was the same as Yihai’s handicraft workshop.
This has also been filed with the government, and once sold, taxes must be paid to the state treasury. As for the pricing issue, Mu Yingbao didn't care, and Duan Jiuling would naturally consult with people like Cao Chang to make the decision.
Mu Yingbao also promised that he would come to visit when he returned, which made the county magistrate Duan very happy.
Mu Yingbao not only promised, but also warned County Magistrate Duan that when processing the food into delicacies, food hygiene and key links must be guaranteed, because this is for human consumption and must not be careless.
The handicrafts from Yihai are of poor quality, which will affect its reputation and sales.
However, if ducks are processed into cooked food, anything wrong could result in loss of life.
Duan Jiuming swore to heaven that he would keep the First-rank Lady's instructions in mind and would never let her down.
The people who learned from Mu Yingbao were also carefully selected and reliable by Duan Jiuming. He warned them seriously that the secret recipes and methods they learned would be the backbone of the processing workshop, and their salary would not be less. What Madam Yipin taught was an important magic weapon that could change the fate of the people in Baitang County, and it must not be passed on to others. If anyone was restless and leaked it, he would be severely punished.
&nbbsp; In the past two days, Xue Wenyu was the one with the highest status but was treated as air.
What was seen during the two days was either the daughter-in-law instructing County Magistrate Duan and others on how to run the processing workshop in the big tent, or instructing a few people on how to cook various types of ducks.
However, Xue Wenyu did not feel annoyed. Seeing these people admiring his wife, he felt happy in his heart. Look, this is my wife, Xue Wenyu. I, Xue Wenyu, have such a good eye!
The past two days have been pretty good, with fresh vegetables every day.
Another benefit of killing so many ducks every day was that he got to eat the braised duck tongues he had always longed for, not just a few plates of them, but a full plate piled high.
I ate the duck products my wife mentioned, the duck blood vermicelli, and the dried vegetable duck that I never get tired of.
The subordinates were also very satisfied with the meal and were even more enthusiastic in helping County Magistrate Duan to kill the ducks.
Now, Mu Yingbao and his party were about to set off. County Magistrate Duan led thousands of people to see them off, and they were so reluctant to let them go.
The team has walked quite far, and we can still hear the shouts from behind: "Have a safe journey!" and "Go early and return early!"
Before leaving, County Magistrate Duan not only returned the money Lin Chuan gave for buying ducks, but also gave him a hundred ducks, several sheep, and several cages of chickens.
I originally wanted to give two cows, but gave up because I thought the cows were too big and too stupid.
County Magistrate Duan said that Madam was a benefactor of Baitang County. He knew that Madam was not short of money, so he just sent her some gifts as a token of his appreciation.
Therefore, this team on Guanlu seemed even more out of place.
On the carriages lined up behind were not only the firewood of uniform length and thickness that puzzled passers-by, but also live chickens, ducks and sheep.
In the carriage, Mu Yingbao leaned on Xue Wenyu and closed her eyes to rest. Although she had only moved her mouth a lot in the past two days, she was indeed a little tired.
"What benefactor? I think they simply treat you as the God of Wealth." Xue Wenyu said leisurely.
"It's nice to be treated as the God of Wealth. I remember when I was in Zhang Town, I was even called a jinx to my parents." Mu Yingbao responded lazily.
"Who? Why didn't you tell me when you went there last time? Find him out and I'll beat him to death with a broom." Xue Wenyu got angry when he heard that.
Mu Yingbao patted him casually, "Go to hell, I don't mind it myself, why are you so anxious? I'm too lazy to be serious about this matter. What I need to do is to find the murderer who killed the original owner's parents. This is also a reward for me using her body."
After telling him the most secret thing, Mu Yingbao no longer felt any psychological burden towards him.
"That bastard hid it very carefully. Several groups of people have looked for it but haven't been able to find it yet." Xue Wenyu was a little annoyed when this matter was mentioned.
Kong Lian's people, the Wuying Sect's people, and even Brother Hui had sent people out, but until now there was still no useful clues.
"I'm not angry at you. There's nothing to be angry about. If you haven't found it, it means the time is not right." Mu Yingbao even tried to comfort him.
"I'm not annoyed, but ever since I found out about this, I've always felt a lump in my heart if I don't find someone to deal with it. Let's not talk about this for now. Yingbao, lie down for a while. I'll massage your belly." Xue Wenyu looked at his wife who was listless and felt anxious.
Mu Yingbao nodded, and slowly lay down with his help, letting him put her calves on his thighs, and his hands with just the right strength to help her massage her calves.
At this time, in the imperial study of Xixiang Palace, Shangguan Xia contradicted Emperor Zhou Hong for the first time since her wedding to him. "I am not afraid of death, but wouldn't it be better to have a chance to live? How do you know if it's not possible if you don't try?"
Zhou Hong looked at his queen speechlessly, pointing at her several times with his finger; "Let Amin go to seek peace with Yan State? Take back Yan State's fiefdom? Queen, is this your good idea...
