Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Finally, under the leadership of a man named Lin, the group finally sat down.

After all, we're already here, and even if we don't sit down, we can't get out.

After everyone sat down, Xiao Ruge clapped her hands, and Bai Song immediately brought a few servants and placed a bowl of rice soup in front of everyone.

"Please come in, everyone. How about trying this feast prepared by the prince?"

After Bai Song and his men left, Mu Gu said as he picked up the porcelain bowl in front of him.

There was a porcelain spoon in the porcelain bowl. He scooped up a spoonful of rice soup, blew on it and took a sip.

Several people looked at each other, fearing that Mu Gu had poisoned them, but when they saw that Liu Kuishan and Liu Yuanwai had both drunk it, they gritted their teeth, picked up the wine and started drinking it too.

Because they were afraid that Mu Gu would suddenly get angry again, the two people who had knelt down and begged for mercy drank more than everyone else. They even used a spoon to scoop up the few grains of rice at the bottom and ate them up.

After they finished drinking the rice soup in their bowls and put down their bowls, Mu Gu looked at them with a smile.

"How is it? Everyone, this bowl of porridge of the prince is not bad, right?"

I looked at the bare bottom of the bowl and thought, how can this be porridge? It's just two grains of rice in water!

But no one dared to say no, and they all agreed with a smile.

"Seventh Prince's porridge tastes different. You can tell at a glance that the rice is from the capital. It's more fragrant than the rice from our Qizhou City!"

"Yes, yes, yes! This porridge is not only delicious, but also filling. Look, I only drank this bowl and I feel a little full!"

Someone started talking, and someone else immediately agreed, saying that they tasted the same, but they could be said to have different flavors.

Some even went so far as to praise the rice soup in such a high-sounding way that it sounded like a divine product. Mu Gu burst out laughing when he heard it.

The one who said he was full felt relieved when he saw him smile, thinking that he had flattered him well. He was about to say something else when Mu Gu pointed at him and spoke.

"Mo Qi, take off his clothes and throw him into the yard! Don't associate with people who talk nonsense."

After Mo Qi responded, he walked over and grabbed the man without saying a word. In no time, he stripped him down to his underwear, then grabbed the back of his neck by the collar and walked out.

"Seventh Prince, please spare my life! I deserve to die. I was wrong. Please spare me, Seventh Prince! Seventh Prince..."

Mu Gu just looked at him coldly as Mo Qi threw the man into the yard.

It was already cold at night, and now that his clothes had been stripped off, the man shivered with cold as soon as he stepped out of the house. Instinctively, he wanted to run back and beg for mercy.

But Mo Qi glared at the man and quickly drew out his sword, scaring the man so much that he retreated back and could only hug his arms and beg for mercy.

"Shut up! If you dare to talk again, I'll pull out your tongue!"

The cold words coming out of Mu Gu's mouth were colder than the howling cold wind. The people outside the door were so scared that they immediately stopped talking and let the north wind blow through their thin inner clothes.

Mu Gu acted swiftly and decisively. He had already dealt with two people before he even got down to business, scaring the rest of the people so much that they dared not even breathe a single breath.

I was afraid that I would say something wrong and end up like the person outside the door. No one wants to go out in the cold in the middle of winter wearing only underwear.

Mu Gu had not finished the rice soup in his bowl. Although there were only a few grains of rice in the bowl, he still drank it up carefully.

Today's rice soup was made according to the specifications of the porridge previously made for the refugees. After drinking the last sip, Mu Gu couldn't help but sigh.

"I think you all know why I called you all here today. Since you all know it, please express your opinions!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you give me food for free. Anyone who can give me 5,000 dan will be given a plaque on behalf of my father!"

Although it is just a plaque and cannot be used for anything, they are just ordinary people.

For an ordinary citizen, it would be such a great honor to receive a plaque from the emperor. Since the establishment of the Dalong Dynasty, there have been only a few plaques.

Anyone who is awarded a plaque can be said to have a separate page in the family tree!

Although everyone was reluctant at first, they were all tempted when they heard that they would get an imperial plaque.

Although this thing cannot be eaten or worn, it can add glory to one's face and will also bring some benefits to oneself when doing business in the future.

It's just that these 5,000 shi of grain are a bit too much, and it hurts a bit to ask them to donate it like this.

"Seventh Prince, Lao Liu and I donated 3,000 dan of grain last time. I'm afraid we can't donate that much this time."

"After all, we have a large family to take care of, and the grain won't be harvested until next autumn, so we can only take out another 3,000 koku this time."

The first person to speak was Liu Kuishan. He and Liu Yuanwai had secretly exchanged glances before. Relying on the tacit understanding between the two in doing business for so many years, they had already secretly agreed that this time they could only take out a maximum of 3,000 stones, no more.

Seeing that the two men looked a little terrified, Mu Gu did not make it difficult for them. Instead, he mentioned the last time the two men donated grain. Even if it was only 3,000 stones, the combined donation of the two was much more than others.

"Since you two donated food last time, it doesn't matter if it's less this time. In addition to the plaque bestowed by my father, I will tell the people in the Inner Palace Bureau after I go back to let you participate in the imperial merchant election next year."

Although Mu Gu only said that two people should participate in the election, with such a big Buddha backing them up, isn't it a sure thing for them to be selected with just a few words?

The two had not expected such a good thing to happen. This was much more practical than a plaque or something. After hearing this, they immediately expressed their gratitude to Mu Gu.

When others heard about this good thing, they all said they could donate more.

Mu Gu calmly asked how much they donated. Several people talked at once, some said 10,000 shi, some said 8,000 shi. He asked Chang Yunfei to write it down carefully.

After everyone had donated, Mu Gu chuckled as he scanned everyone's faces, and said slowly: "Some things, if you miss them, there will be no second chance!"

The people who donated grain all looked unhappy after hearing this, which meant that they had missed the opportunity to donate grain for the first time. No matter how much they donated next time, they would not be qualified to compete for the imperial merchant.

After hearing this, several people felt dejected. Who told them not to seize the opportunity at the beginning?

After the party, except for Ge Dashen, whose house was searched, and the man who was left outside and half-frozen to death, no one else was hurt.

The food problem was solved, but there was still the problem of warm clothing.

Although Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge brought a lot of cotton-padded clothes, it was still not enough, so the two of them followed Chang Yunfei's method and made appointments to meet with other businessmen.

There is no need to use the imperial plaque as bait this time. After all, if you give too much of this thing, it will lose its value.

Mu Gu directly said that all those who donated supplies could run for the title of Imperial Merchant, but whether they could be elected in the end would depend on their personal abilities.
