Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Bao Yuan was full of excitement and went out to do errands. Mou Yu looked at Mu Ci for a while, and finally just shook his head, smiled and sighed, pinched Mu Ci's shoulder, earnestly but with a helpless smile: "Promise me, if you can't do something, , it’s dangerous, you must tell me. Don’t hold on alone, you know?”

"Leaving Daxing?"

"Always think of a way out first." Mou Yu said.

Mu Ci thought about it seriously, then shook her head: "I won't let everyone fall into such a passive state, but yes, it's good to make everyone feel at ease. You just look at the arrangement."

Mou Yu agreed, so he was relieved.

After all, Mu Ruosong was still restless because of his lack of business. He suppressed his emotions and continued to report: "All the servants of Yuanshouyuan Palace have been dismissed and need to be added. This is the list of servants and female officers assigned to you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the prince's rules. ...There are more than 300 families who have invited themselves into the mansion as slaves..."

Mu Ci pushed the list away: "I don't want any of them."

"Your Highness, if you don't want it, the palace doesn't even have a sweeper." Mu Ruosong.

Mu Ci still shook her head: "Except for being gentle, I don't need any servants. It's not that I look down on them, but I don't like to mutilate other people's bodies. If I can lose one, I will lose one. I don't want a court lady either."

"Your Highness, in such a large palace, there are fewer people serving it, which is not what the Tian family looks like."

Mu Ci responded on his own, he asked Mou Yu: "Brother, you recruited veterans to work in the Palace."

Mou Yu raised his eyebrows, he had to ask clearly: "Why do you have to retire from the Imperial Army?"

Really unheard of.

"Huh? Are there any laws and regulations that don't allow it?" Mu Ci asked. He is not an aborigine and has no common sense.

Mou Yudao: "There is no rule to say no, it's just that military households have passed it down from generation to generation. Those who can retire are either disabled or old. There is no way to do things well."

The main reason is that disabled people, especially those with unsightly appearance, are not allowed to be officials and cannot meet the king.It is disrespectful to use such a person to serve the prince.And people will ask... Is it so lucky that no one is available?

What seems unbelievable in the eyes of others, if Mu Ci does it, he has the ability to make it very reasonable: "It doesn't matter at all, no matter whether I am old or disabled, the whole palace takes care of me alone. No one is needed. The daily maintenance work in the palace will not be very heavy, and the veterans should not find it difficult. If it is difficult, arrange a few more people to do it together. In addition, family members can also be brought in together, so there are women who sweep and wash clothes. gone."

Mou Yu: "..." My brother and I seem to have a bit of a disagreement on the focus of our discussion.

Mu Ci gave two more reasons, making it impossible for people to say "no" to him.

"Brother, I know what you mean, but I only trust people who have fought on the battlefield, lived and died with Paoze, drank the blood of the enemy, and know what is "country" and "family"; A person who has protected the country and the people, sacrificed sweat, blood and life, and understands what is "loyalty" and what is "righteousness."

Mu Ci's most trust is this kind of soldiers who understand the responsibility of the country and society, and who contribute their blood and lives.In his previous life, he was a businessman, and the people he hired were always veterans and those who had obtained the certificate of "be brave for justice". This made his entire team's professional quality not high, and it took time and effort to set up, and many things had to be taught by hand.Cohesive, more loyal than usual corporate groups.

"Besides, the life of the imperial army after retiring from the army must be difficult, so I just want to do my best to tell them not to regret that they have shed blood and sacrificed their lives for this country and for thousands of people."

Mou Yu froze for a moment, then smiled comfortably, patted Mu Ci on the shoulder, and stopped rebutting.

Mu Ci warmed my heart again.

……

People were extremely surprised by the news that "the Palace of Chu only recruited veterans and imperial guards to attack the Palace", and they would ask why—is this a new round of tactics to buy the morale of the army?

Must be!

Mu Ci's reasons spread quickly.

Of course, both Jin Yiwei and Ye Xingwei understood that "what can be said can be said but not said", which Mou Yu tacitly agreed to.

This made Xungui and the aristocratic family stunned, while secretly praising the king of Chu for his clever means of buying the army's morale.First, there is a new treatment method for trauma, and then there is good treatment for veterans.Any military household with a bit of a brain would be ashamed of a master like the King of Chu.

Everyone lamented that the world was going downhill, that a majestic prince would not hesitate to join forces with ugly and poor stinky soldiers to buy the morale of the soldiers, there is really no limit.

I even feel that the level of Chu Wang's self-willedness and "no common sense, no concealment and no blush" has been raised by one level, and the rhythm is so crazy that it is about to fly.

There are rumors about the censor, and it is inappropriate to impeach the king of Chu with fierce words.But they all forgot that it was Wang Youlun who presided over the political affairs hall, and the new emperor was the one who reviewed the memorials at the end, so naturally they all disappeared.

And the reason of King Chu is beyond reproach.

He was just kind and kind, and wanted to make the veterans feel better. It was not a mistake, but a good thing—to contribute to the country's war pension.

Thinking about it, the soldiers will work harder to fight for the country, and they will not worry about the misfortune.Although Concubine Xie and others felt that the King of Chu was treacherous and then +1, Emperor Deguang was very happy. He threw the impeachment memorial in public and praised his nine younger brothers in court.

Because the king of Chu is a "star descending to earth" among the people, various measures to benefit the people have made him highly concerned and supported. This news and the words of the king of Chu being kind to the forbidden army quickly flew to various places in the north and south of Daxing, which was called the bottom of the society. The disabled veteran was elated.

It is said that sergeants have been in the army for generations, they were born in low status, and they were old and disabled before they were discharged. They also had tattoos on their faces. They were worse than civilians. They were always looked down upon and oppressed.

Now, once he turned around, he won the trust of No. 1 in the world - the uncrowned emperor, His Royal Highness King Chu.The sergeants walk with their heads held high, and their crutches rustle with the wind. When they encounter those who are blind and want to bully them, they just say, "Even the king of Chu said, don't make us regret defending the country and you. Are you more Is the king of Chu's background still a big deal?"

There is a saying in the original Hua country that "the king of Chu is so thin, and the palace people starve to death." The so-called good from the top will follow from the bottom.The leader's personal preferences have a direct impact on the social atmosphere, not just his personal business.

In Daxing, Chu Wang Muci has long been an idol of the whole people. His various actions and preferences can always easily affect the atmosphere of the whole country.

Of course, what Mu Ci brings will be good changes.

……

Because of Mu Ci's attitude, Mou Yu said to him: "Le Shu has recovered from his injury, and chooses to continue serving you."

"Oh, he is also a free man. He decides the employment contract and the remuneration more generously, and he has the final say on the time limit." That is to say, he can be independent whenever he wants.

Mu Ci asked again: "Where's Cang Yu?"

"He's... badly hurt."

"You haven't told me what's going on?"

"When the violent prince forced the palace, Le Shu led people to pretend to be you to lure the rebels away. After you exposed yourself, he was exposed. The rebels started shooting rockets. Cang Yu hugged Le Shu and jumped into the Yu River in order to protect Le Shu. But his hair was still burned... Now he has burns on his head and face." Mou Yu said.

If it weren't for Mu Ci's remarks about treating the disabled imperial soldiers kindly today, Mou Yu would not know how to tell Mu Ci about Cang Yu's injury.

Because in the past, all people with disabilities, especially those with facial features, were not allowed to appear in front of the king.Just like King Hanshan, who despises the existence of heroes in terms of status, achievements, and abilities, he was injured in a war two years ago and left a scar on his face. He also received a lot of discrimination and criticism, and some even wanted to take the opportunity to kick him off The position of the left commander in the northwest.

Fortunately, Emperor Tianshou continued to support him, and King Hanshan had already established his reputation as the "King of Rakshasa" in the northwest battlefield... Otherwise, even his future would have come to an end.

Because he had scars, he became more bloodthirsty and cruel. He didn't have many friends, and now there are almost no people who dare to approach him.

……

Cang Yu is young, with low qualifications, and has not achieved much. No matter how good or potential he is, his life has already been ruined.

Mu Ci also thought of this.I don't know how sad Cang Yu must be. He is the youngest and most promising commander of the Imperial Forest Army. He has a good family background and the most beautiful appearance, but he doesn't want to... fall into the quagmire from the clouds.

Mou Yu said again: "They were rescued by a painted boat. Because the owner of the boat coveted Leshu's appearance, he kept holding his feathers, which delayed the treatment of his injuries and made one of his eyes not well."

"Sin! Everything that should be dealt with according to the rules has been dealt with. Can Cang Yu still see things clearly?"

"Yes, it's still a hundred-step piercing, but archery on horseback is much worse, hey..." Mou Yu sighed, "He is the best in archery."

"Let him come back and still be his commander." Mu Ci said.

"Well, I have to persuade him." Mou Yu smiled.

He knew that Mu Ci didn't care about Cang Yu's disfigurement, and he was very kind to his own people, so he said, "I'm busy with things every day, and it's not easy for the king of Beihai County to hang around in the backyard every day. Let Le Shu come over and get close How do I serve you?"

"Row!"

"There are three teenagers trained with Le Shu, who are top-notch in character, ability and appearance. Ask them to come and serve you closely for a few years, okay?"

"Okay!" Mu Ci looked at Mu Ruosong, "What about you?"

"I have no opinion."

"I'm asking you, do you want to do foreign affairs?"

Mu Ruosong hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll be fine if you tell me."

Mu Ruosong was only interested in military training and fighting since he was a child, and he was quite talented in this area.But as the grandson of Ding Wangfu, he must never touch Mu Ci's soldiers... As long as he is by Mu Ci's side for a day, this road will be blocked.

But Mu Ruosong was not too disappointed, he felt that there was a lot to learn from Mu Ci, so he didn't think too much about it, in short, he just listened to Mu Ci.

Mu Ci pondered for a while, then stopped asking.

……

At this time, Bao Yuan came back and replied, "The belongings returned to the inner palace have already been boxed and loaded according to the categories you tore, and it will take two or three days to prepare them." Bao Yuan showed half of the account books to Mu Ci , and took a large stack of deeds in a large box, "This is the manor and shop title deeds under your name, a total of 120 four, and 36 caravans. How do you want to take care of it, Your Highness?"

It was brought up again... yes, a few loads of accounts from various places were brought up.

Mu Ci flipped through the ledger, her eyebrows tightened slightly.

Bao Yuan was the best at observing words and expressions, and said cautiously: "This is the account of the past three years. I have checked it and there are no major mistakes or omissions."

Mu Ci glanced at Bao Yuan, ——the data is too inaccurate, if you scan it casually, there are many mistakes and omissions, and there are still confusions in the records.

Mu Ci took a quill pen and drew many lines on the ledger, then patted the ledger, and said, "I don't care about the previous ones, but after that... it's best to count according to the actual situation. If you don't have the ability to balance the ledger, it's best be honest."

Bao Yuan took a look, and found that some of them were tricky things that he saw based on his more than 40 years of experience in business, and some of them he didn't see, but the King of Chu found them out with a random glance...

He felt a lot of pressure, and he was sweating coldly, thinking that the people below should tighten their skins.

Mu Ci threw away the ledger.For a psychic like him with precision addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder, reading this kind of accounts is a kind of torture.

"Shops and caravans, keep them as they are, and I'll take care of them when I'm free." Mu Ci decided to be the hands-off shopkeeper first.

Bao Yuan nodded again and again, because the King of Chu sent away such an astronomical amount of wealth without blinking his eyes, Bao Yuan knew that what the King of Chu cared about was not a few small money, but that he must be serious and precise in doing a thing, seek truth from facts, and not coax don't lie.

In other words, you have to be smart about coaxing, so as not to be discovered.

But... can anyone in this world be able to fool Mu Ci?

Bao Yuan didn't know that Mu Ci also cared about a copper coin.

What is deserved, no matter how much, is deserved.

Mu Ci held a quill pen and pondered for a while, then called Kai Yang, one of the Seven Star Envoys of the Ye Xingwei, to come over, and asked, "Has anyone imitated this pen?"

Kai Yang nodded: "The rich households and young people in the city have already imitated it in private. Recently, the young master of Su Yushi used this pen to write a long poem in a poetry club. Pen interested."

Mu Ci gently brushed her still bloodless lips with the feather tail of the quill pen, pondered for a while and said, "Call Wei Feizhi and Wu Fei here."

Soon, the two were brought.

Nothing more than 14 years old, with a pair of big round eyes like black grapes on his childish face, because he was young and hadn't been trained for too long, and later he followed the King of Chu, and he still has the spirituality of a smart child. After disappearing, the whole person looks tiger-headed, clever and cute.

Wei Feizhi is still the same, obviously under 70, but looks like [-] to [-] years old, his hair is gray, it seems that he has taken care of his messy hair because of the call, and his clothes are clean and tidy.Of course, he didn't take care of it himself, but just sorted it out for him.

His face was numb, his eyes were lifeless, and he was indifferent to anything.He doesn't even care about life and death.

Wei Fei knew that he was the eldest son of the third family of the Wei family. The destruction of the Wei family was a great blow to him. He also changed from a son of a wealthy aristocrat to a craftsman in an instant.

So he didn't say a word for 30 years.

Mu Ci told Wei Fei not to come for psychological counseling.

Mu Ci seems to be unreasonable about the matter of the Wei family, although it seems that the Tianshou Emperor robber is unreasonable, but the Wei family is not completely irresponsible.

Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty also died showing off his wealth.

The Wei family is too huge, it can threaten the country, but it doesn't have the force value to match it... All rely on the Taihuang Taiwei family, thinking that he is strong enough, so he didn't plan his retreat in advance.

Of course, it may be that the Wei family was unwilling to give up their vested interests and status, or because their homeland was difficult to leave, they refused to leave until the last moment, so it was all over the place.

Mu Ci is most aware of the danger of being too rich, if he clings to his money, he will not be safe.So he started "Charity Ji" because he wanted to do something valuable, and secondly, he wanted to protect himself.

If something happened that Mou Yu was worried about in the future, he had to retreat and save it, and Mu Ci would not hesitate, he never lacked the determination to cut off his wrists.

Of course, Mu Ci didn't call Wei Feizhi to reverse Wei's case, it was for the quill pen.

"Fei Zhi, you and Wu Fei will go down to the Lijing Gate in the imperial city and post a notice saying that the craftsmen of Chu Palace will teach you how to make quill pens, and each person will receive a copper coin."

Wei Fei Zhi Mumu nodded, but blinked his eyes wide, Mengmeng asked: "Can you actually collect money?"

Wei Feizhi finally had a reaction and pulled Wu Fei's sleeve.

He stuck out his tongue and shrank behind Wei Feizhi.

Mu Cihun didn't care: "What you collect is your inventions and intellectual achievements, and you will be charged. Because quill pens are cheap and don't have too complicated craftsmanship, you don't need to charge too much. It can also be afforded. But it must be noted that the person is not allowed to pass it on to relatives, friends and neighbors, even if it is not allowed from father to son. Of course, it can still be made for family use. This is explained in the announcement, and anyone who wants to learn can go to your place Learning, a copper can be used for a lifetime."

Wei Feizhi nodded.

Mu Ci was not afraid that someone would violate it, so she passed it on to relatives, friends and neighbors in private, because people in the Daxing Dynasty were more committed to their promises. The merchants here did business, and even issued IOUs, they were only verbal agreements, and there were very few paper contracts.It shows that the whole people pay more attention to credibility, which is a good phenomenon.

Those who will violate must be a minority.

"In addition, if someone improves the method, after you verify it, I will pay you one tael of silver."

"Ah?" It was nothing more than counting fingers, frowning.You only received one copper, but bought one tael of silver converted into a thousand coppers, which is obviously a loss-making business.

Wei Feizhi pulled the child twice more.

Mu Ci's eyebrows were warm, but Zhizhu was holding her hand and said: "The copper is yours, and it is your 'patented technology' royalties, which means the protected and exclusive rights of the creator of an invention."

It's nothing more than a bright smile, and he still looks embarrassed and said: "Is there such a saying? How embarrassing."

"Well, it should be. In the future, the "patent" must be paid to use. Even a small quill must be protected by a 'patent'."

"That's good," Wu Fei asked, "What do you say about the one tael of silver you paid? Is it not a loss?"

Wei Fei didn't know why, but he stopped talking nonsense and let the child talk to King Chu with a smile.

Mu Ci didn't take it seriously, and said: "Of course I have intentions. The two silver coins are not only for buying innovative technology, but also 'a thousand pieces of gold buys a horse bone'." Mu Ci changed this allusion in a different way.

It was nothing more than a sudden: "If people in the world know that Your Highness, you value even the creativity of a small quill pen... Those who are capable will definitely flock to it."

Mu Ci liked nothing more than cleverness, and said: "Yes, I need a lot of craftsmen, especially those with real skills. In the future..." Mu Ci didn't want to mention too much about "rejuvenating the country with science and technology", which is too different from the current cognition , No one can understand it, Mu Ci just said, "It's nothing more than, do it well, no matter what you achieve, I will give you the benefits, fame and status you deserve."

Nothing more than a crisp response: "Okay! It's a deal."

Mu Ci stretched out her hand: "It's proof of high five."

He just stretched out his hand that didn't match his cute appearance, it looked like a craftsman's rough little hand full of small calluses and scars, and high-fived Mu Ci's green and white jade hand.

In Wei Feizhi's eyes, there was a slight fluctuation, which disappeared in a flash...
