Chapter 340: Jealousy
There is a power outage at home today, and there can only be one shift, and tomorrow it will be a double shift.
The appearance of Gonggong Wan made King Qing have to stop thinking about Muyue Commercial Bank. But it was also because of this that he realized that Mu Qiyue seemed to be very much loved by the emperor.
So if Mu Qiyue is recalled to the mansion again, does it mean that the Qingwang Mansion can be particularly favored by the emperor?
The more Qing Wang Ye thought about it, the more he felt that it was the most appropriate to do so. Today's emperor is famous for his filial piety, so naturally he will not let Mu Qiyue be charged with unfilial piety. Moreover, Mu Qiyue returned to the mansion, and there were many benefits, at least it should be much more convenient for him to use the things of the Muyue Commercial Bank in his own mansion. Besides, Mu Qiyue has not married so far, what does this mean? This means that Qingwangfu can once again find a strong in-laws.
In this way, not only Mu Qiyue will be grateful to himself, but even the emperor can explain the past.
Mu Qiyue didn't know that his family affairs had become a big bargaining chip in the eyes of King Qing, and he was sitting in the Muyue Commercial Bank at this moment, discussing things with Lu Mingtao.
"Fourth master, I heard that Miss Lin has made a big plan again." After reporting to Mu Qiyue on the matters of the firm, Lu Mingtao mentioned Lin Zhu again.
"Well," Mu Qiyue nodded, he knew about this matter, "Actually, two years ago, she was preparing for this, but at that time it was just a small fight, and there were some taboos, but it should have been almost prepared in the past two years." ”
"Will Miss Lin still cooperate with us?" Lu Mingtao obviously knew how much benefit Lin Zhu's generosity would bring, and asked a little anxiously.
"Probably so." Mu Qiyue did not discuss this matter with Lin Zhu. So it is not particularly certain.
In the past two years, Lin Zhu has expanded his cattle shed, which originally had only twenty or thirty beef cattle and did not even touch small pastures, to ten hectares of pasture. Coupled with the fact that she relied on the breeding of the original herd and the continuous purchase from the capital and other places, the herd has expanded to 1,000 heads.
This number is very staggering, and it has also attracted the attention of many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and even the emperor has specially inquired.
Many people don't understand that Lin Zhu raises cattle to sell beef, and cattle are very valuable in this era as the main labor. So some people said she did. There will be retribution or something.
However, the cattle that Lin Zhu purchased from the market as beef cattle are all branded by the government, which means that these cattle are approved by the government and cannot be used as farming cattle and sold in the market. It's mainly just for meat.
It's just that Lin Zhu made too much noise. will cause a backlash from people.
But. Because of the support of the General Chang's Office, even if someone raises objections, it will not be adopted.
And two years ago. Lin Zhu also paved the way for raising cattle and selling beef. Some far-sighted restaurants in the capital have long been eyeing these beef, not to mention those who have the power and wealth.
The people who oppose it are only those who stand and talk without backache, who are jealous of others, and who laugh at others. Then there are the peasants who work hard, but these people live at the bottom of the ladder, and even if they are dissatisfied with this matter, it will not help.
Some people may say that Lin Zhu is a tyrannical thing, but there are people around the grassland who are grateful to her.
The forage grass in the forest and bamboo grassland is all space grass species, and the quality of the forage is very good, and the cattle also like to eat this kind of grass.
Moreover, farmers around the pasture can go to the planned place to mow the grass as long as they register with the pasture manager. Except for the portion of the pasture that was allotted to them, the rest could be paid.
So these people are not particularly disgusted with Lin Zhu's cattle raising and selling cattle. On the contrary, he thanked the owner of the pasture for generously distributing the forage to them, so that their cattle also grew very well, and they did not lose fat in winter.
Since Mu Qiyue saw the growth of Fu Dou'er's pony, he brought several of his horses to the pasture, and after feeding for a few days, he sent someone to build a horse shed on the pasture and sent someone to stay here.
Lin Zhu was a little helpless after hearing this, but he admired Mu Qiyue for being able to grasp the opportunity so much.
Not to mention anything else, the grass from the ten hectares of grassland is not at all digested by a thousand cows, and even counting the winter storage of forage, there is still a large amount of waste in the grassland.
So after Mu Qiyue asked Lu Mingtao to walk around the pasture, he bought most of the grass from Lin Zhu and supplied it to the royal horse farm and the private horse farm of some big people.
The popularity of the grassland was unexpected by Lin Zhu, and the safety of the grassland became a problem. So Black Beans and his little henchmen became important guards of the pasture.
Lin Zhu has also added many large dogs as cattle dogs.
Black has become the leader of this group of dogs, whether it is the previous dog or the newly bought dog later, whether it is smaller than it or bigger than it, all of them have been cleaned up by Black Bean, and the fierceness in Black Bean'er's bones can also be seen.
And the puppies it had brought back from the woods were the same as it, and although they were usually inconspicuous, as if they were very close to it, in the pasture, as long as anyone who entered their warning range, they immediately regarded them as enemies, and fiercely pounced on them to teach them a lesson.
Lin Zhu has put a lot of effort into this pasture, and has also devoted a lot of energy to raising cattle.
Although there is the support of the general's government, Lin Zhu does not want the local government to be too difficult, so he promises to provide them with ten sturdy farming cattle for free every year, and with the continuous expansion of the breeding herd, Lin Zhu will increase the number appropriately.
This made the local magistrate very happy, ten more cows would have more performance, not to mention the convenience for Lin Zhu, which was equivalent to selling the general's mansion a face, and they would definitely admit their favors.
Lin Zhu was not satisfied with the ranch with only 1,000 cows, if it weren't for the fact that the preservation methods would be too simple and expensive, Lin Zhu would have wanted to add several times the amount to expand his pasture.
Since two years ago, Lin Zhu began to build an ice cellar in the house. Beef can be stored for a long time when frozen, which is also prepared to be sold in seasons other than winter.
Beef is not as widely accepted as pork, and the price is much more expensive than pork, so the relative sales cycle will be longer.
In addition, Lin Zhu did not plan to sell these beef piecemeal, but handed over the distribution rights to Muyue Commercial Bank, after all, Lu Mingtao had asked for himself for a long time because of this matter. And it saves a lot of trouble.
As a member of the General's Mansion, Lin Zhu often had the opportunity to meet the relatives of some dignitaries and nobles. Those ladies and ladies, although they looked down on Lin Zhu's livelihood, thought that they were all lowly things, where should everyone do it.
So even though Lin Zhu rarely participates in various invitations, those noble ladies who hold their own identities always mock a few words intentionally or unintentionally as soon as they seize the opportunity. Although he was ignored by Lin Zhu, he was always a little uncomfortable in his heart.
So, Lin Zhu took advantage of the convenience of working with Muyue Commercial Bank to create some small troubles for those who were very hostile to him, and let Lu Mingtao make some restrictions on those people in the sale of various special materials, which really made them scramble, but they could not find the reason.
And he didn't dare to offend Muyue Trading House, so he had to swallow these suffocations alive.
Therefore, when the Muyue Trading House began to release news that it was possible to reserve beef from Linzhu Ranch in the trading house, some shrewd people vaguely discovered that the reason for the previous difficulties by the Muyue Trading House was probably the trouble caused by their own daughters.
Despite this, no one is looking for a back account from Lin Zhu, firstly, because Lin Zhu has the support of the General's Mansion, and he is blatantly looking for trouble with Lin Zhu, and General Chang will really come to the door. Second, they also found that Muyue Commercial Bank was actually supporting Lin Zhu. To say that in the past, even if Muyue Commercial Bank supported someone, some nobles would not look at it, but now that Mu Qiyue's identity was exposed, they had to think about it carefully.
It's just that there are always people who feel uncomfortable, especially those who don't want to see Lin Zhu's identity, and when they saw that she had changed from a peasant girl in the countryside to Miss Sun of the General's Mansion, her identity and status suddenly became very different, so they were very envious, jealous and hateful.
saw that she was actually involved with Mu Qiyue, who suddenly became a good son-in-law in the eyes of many people, and her resentment deepened. Among them, Lin Qingxue was the most annoyed.
After Lin Qingxue met Mu Qiyue for the first time, she had a good impression of him in her heart, but because she was still young at that time, it was not time to mention this kind of thing. So I pressed my mind.
When she learned Mu Qiyue's identity, especially after learning that he did not marry a wife, Lin Qingxue's mind became active. Although more than two years have passed, she has always been obsessed with Mu Qiyue, and now she is listening to his news in many ways.
However, she was still very cautious, she didn't let the people in her family find out about her little thoughts, and she didn't participate in other people's discussions about Mu Qiyue. But it didn't affect her to get some news from it that she wanted to know.
But after hearing that Muyue Trading House actually had a relationship with Lin Zhu, Lin Qingxue couldn't hold back her excitement. She has always been very disgusted with Lin Zhu, even if her mother Zhao told her to try to be good with Lin Zhu, but she didn't tell her the specific reason, so she was very reluctant, but she didn't show it in person. But the current situation made her take Zhao's instructions as a deaf ear, and Lin Qingxue only had jealousy of Lin Zhu in her heart.
And Lin Qingxue, who was carried away by jealousy, intuitively thought that Lin Zhu must want to take the opportunity to get involved with Mu Qiyue in order to get close to the water. As soon as her mind was hot, she came up with a plan that could slander Lin Zhu and take the opportunity to make Mu Qiyue disgusted with her.
In the circle of some powerful ladies and ladies in the capital, a shocking news suddenly came out. That is, the godgranddaughter recognized by General Chang and the former imperial physician Dr. Zhang, Lin Zhu, who is fourteen years old, tried in vain to cling to the owner of the Muyue Commercial Bank, the fourth son of the Qingwang Mansion, through the relationship of cooperation with the Muyue Commercial Bank, and its purpose is self-evident.
