The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 311 311. Huge amounts of money

Xiao Muqian nodded, surprised at the speed of the Feng family's work, and couldn't help but admire the person in front of him.

 In Dongdu City, he also had the opportunity to meet Mr. Feng several times. They were obviously brothers, but they gave people completely different impressions.

Perhaps the eldest brother has lived in the eastern capital for a long time, so he is more like the son of a noble family and a powerful official in the court.

But the younger brother in front of him is neither humble nor arrogant. Even though he is a businessman, he has never looked down upon him. The whole family is not only managed in an orderly manner, but also does many practical things for Liangzhou with great benevolence and righteousness.

Under his leadership, the merchants in Liangzhou have a cleaner style, and their reputation is naturally much better than those outside.

Xiao Muqian smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

“It’s getting late today, so just sleep here and get up early tomorrow to leave.”

　　“Everything depends on uncle’s arrangement!”

 The day he stayed in the mine was Xiao Muqian's rare free time.

Looking at the starry sky outside the window, he thought of Bai Siruo.

It had been several months since he left Dongdu City. He had been busy before and had no time to write a letter home. He delayed sending a thick letter until a few days ago.

I don’t know when she will receive it, and I don’t know how she will feel when she receives it.

After the matter in Liangzhou City is settled, it is time for him to go back and get married. As for whether to stay in Dongdu City or return to Liangzhou in the future, he needs to discuss it in detail with her.

From his own perspective, he hopes to return to Liangzhou.

 But the Bai family would probably not agree. After all, she is the only child in the family now. If she also leaves, wouldn't the Bai family be empty?

Thinking of this, I feel that I can't be so selfish, and I still have to think more about her.

 While tossing and turning like this, I don’t know when I fell asleep.

 All I know is that when I woke up, it was already broad daylight.

 When I walked out of the house, I saw that it was still peaceful outside.

Those who he had seen returning to their houses last night had now gone to the mines again.

 Many people here have been passed down from generation to generation. It is not an exaggeration to say that generations have worked hard in the Fengjia mine.

However, the Feng family never treated them harshly, and there was never any shortage of supplies. Even the husband invited two teachers to teach the children.

Apart from anything else, this place seems to be a paradise.

 Under such circumstances, it is natural that the inner ghost cannot escape.

 This is not only the Feng family's imperial ability, but also a headache for outsiders.

 For example, Master Du, who was following the Ninth Prince, had been lurking here for many days.

He deliberately injured a teacher as an excuse to replace him. It has been almost two months since he came here to teach children.

Under the cover of the Wei family's power, his background was very clean, and with Feng Jinhao's assistance in this matter, no one noticed him for a while as a helpless master.

 Because of this, he paid attention to many secrets here.

 But they still don’t know anything about the Fengjia mine account book that they most want to get.

Xiao Muqian and others came and left in a hurry, but they did not notice Master Du who was hiding behind and watching them.

  What is Fengshan doing in the mine at this time?

 And the person next to him is obviously a strange face, but why does he always feel familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere before.     I couldn't remember it for a moment.

Horse hooves clattering, they are going as they came.

 Three days later, the huge amount of money began to flow into the market gradually. The Feng family quietly raised some wages. It was not much per person, but it was quite a lot in total.

 At the same time, Huatie Zhumahuo and other companies also began to increase wages under the leadership of the Feng family.

The wages are much more than before. When people have money in their hands, they will naturally drive some consumption. As time goes by, the money will quietly become surplus money in the hands of people.

Foreigners came here to live in peace. After seeing that they could earn a surplus of food by working hard, no one was willing to eat and sleep outside. So after their desire for work was aroused, they worked extra hard.

 The original people of Liangzhou were not willing to be compared, so they naturally had to work harder, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

　　The more you work and the better you do, the more wages you will get.

 The Feng family and other merchant families, on the surface, offered more wages, but in fact they earned back the wages. Therefore, when they provided raw materials to Xiao Ji, the quality also increased a lot.

In just half a month, the entire Liangzhou City was in full swing.

By the time the Ninth Prince came to the outside of Liangzhou City with his army, the money had long been missing and had become a source of food for thousands of people.

In order for the people of Liangzhou to live a peaceful life, Xiao Ji had to give the Ninth Prince enough face no matter how unwilling he was.

They arranged for a banquet to be entertained, and they took him up to the city wall to have a look at the mountains and small mountains and talk about the current situation of Liangzhou City.

 The Ninth Prince had little contact with this uncle.

At first I thought he would be the kind of person who is proud of himself and doesn't know how to adapt, but he turned out to be a discerning person.

So the attitude towards him became more kind.

"General Xiao has made great achievements this time. After the commander returns to the court, I will definitely ask for your merits in front of my father!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Everything is your fault. If you hadn't been in Ganzhou, the Beidi people wouldn't have been so afraid, so Liangzhou could survive. Now everyone is working together to restore Liangzhou to its former glory. And my efforts are all based on His Highness’s orders.”

 Although the words of compliment were idealistic, the Ninth Prince felt extremely comfortable.

In his eyes, the common people and the city are not as important as military achievements.

 Seeing Xiao Ji building momentum for him in this way, the doubts in his heart disappeared a little.

This kind of person who endures hardship without worrying about reputation is rare, but that's fine, this way, he feels much more relaxed.

So, after "pretending to give instructions" to Xiao Ji, he rested in the general's mansion.

The environment here is very different from the Governor's Mansion in Ganzhou. Not to mention, even the beds are extra hard.

 Xiao Ji deliberately exposed a lot of shabby things that still need to be rebuilt wherever he went, so that even if the Ninth Prince wanted to be extravagant, he would not be able to satisfy it.

 So after sleeping here for a night, the Ninth Prince's arrogant and extravagant energy came back.

"How can the dignified General's Mansion be so shabby! Don't be the one who cheated His Highness."

There were several people standing at the bottom, all of whom were his confidants. They had nothing to do with Xiao Ji. In addition, they could get some credit for nothing without fighting, so they did not add insult to injury, but explained "kindly".

"I heard that General Xiao has always lived in the military camp. He has neither married, had children, nor taken care of his family business. Therefore, the general's mansion has always been deserted. Judging from his military salary, without other subsidies, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come up with anything good.”
