Chapter 114: Refugees Gather Outside the Imperial City

Now Ningyue Lou has completely gained a firm foothold and made a name for itself in the country, even if Yuncui Lou has the support of the Ministry of Rites, after losing a lot of silver, the Ministry of Rites can only close Yuncui Building, but he secretly went to the young owner of Ningyue Lou in his heart, although he heard that the shopkeeper was a young woman, but he sent to investigate for a long time, but there was no other news, as if all traces were erased by someone with a heart.

In view of this, he has not yet found out the forces behind Ning Yuelou, so he can only suppress the urge to retaliate, after all, he is not a fool when he gets into this position, so he will naturally not act rashly.

The carriage stopped in front of the original Ningyue Tower, and a woman who was all over the country and the city stepped down from the carriage, with a tall nose bridge under her bright eyes, her complexion was as white and tender as after an egg was peeled, and there was not even a single flaw on the face of the melon seeds.

Some frivolous sons tried to step forward, but they were blocked by the groom.

Mo Yan also knew that her appearance was eye-catching, so she immediately put on a veil, crossed those sons, and walked into the restaurant.

A young man didn't look at Mo Yan when he saw him, he glared at the groom with some anger, and yelled with the smell of wine: "What are you blocking?" I just wanted to talk to your young lady. ”

The horseman's face did not change, he was still in front of them, his sharp eyes directly shocked those sons and brothers, and when they were glanced at by those eyes, their wine instantly dispersed, and they watched Mo Yan go upstairs with regret, but they also secretly guessed Mo Yan's identity.

I saw that those guys didn't stop her at all, and let her move around at will, and they all had a hint of awe on their faces.

A drunken boy grabbed a friend beside him and asked: "Why do those guys respect this girl, you must know that now the business of Ningyue Building is getting bigger and bigger, and the shopkeeper behind the scenes is very mysterious, even the court officials will give the shopkeeper some face, and they will not make trouble here." Why should those fellows be afraid of a mere girl? ”

His friend hurriedly covered his mouth, "What's different about those guys, maybe we're drunk!" What's more, it is very likely that some royal relatives are in and out here, so we still don't have to cause trouble. ”

After saying that, his friend helped him and left.

The groom just watched them quietly, and did not make any further moves.

Mo Yan went up to the fifth floor, knocked on the door gently, and as soon as she pushed open the door of the box, she heard Yueniang's familiar voice, "This box is not open to guests, please choose another room!" ”

Mo Yan probed and smiled, "Can't I either?"

Yueniang heard this familiar voice and raised her head in surprise, "Mo Yan!" You're finally back! My sister, has you missed me after being away from home for so long?"

Mo Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I miss you." Sister, is this settling the ledger?"

"Yes, everything you need is here!" Yueniang patted a stack of information on the table mysteriously, "As for the restaurant earning about five million silver a year, I have purchased land in the tea garden according to your instructions, and now the output of the tea garden is very high, and it is sold all over the country, and many merchants have booked the goods for next year." “

In the past, she used the money earned from the restaurant to expand other businesses, and now the tea business is thriving, I wonder what happened to the paper mill she spent money to build?

Mo Yan looked at the ledger and asked, "Has the output of the paper mill increased?"

"It's improved a lot, and the quality of the paper is much better than normal paper. The eunuchs in charge of purchasing in the palace have begun to contact our fellows, intending to buy paper and tea from us. “

She looked at the amount of silver in her account, and her eyes flashed with satisfaction, "It's not enough to open the whole country. Now that we have finally won the business of the nobles of the Imperial Palace, this is an opportunity to become an imperial merchant. “

"The Imperial Merchant is just better at the name, isn't it?"

Mo Yan shook her head and smiled: "With the name of the Imperial Merchant, our prestige will reach a higher level and attract more guests." If we get the name of the imperial merchant, it will be much easier to deal with the government and so on in the future. “

She walked to the window and looked at the crowded street, where there were many people, setting up stalls, trying to earn money and feed the family.

The streets shout and attract crowds, but they work under the sun in the hot summer.

Seeing that those people worked so hard, just to earn a bite to eat, she sighed lightly and said: "Shinong industry and commerce, merchants are at the bottom, although in front of the important ministers of the court, merchants are like lowly people, but no one can deny that with money, they can solve many things."

Now that the business is growing, all the silver added up, about 10 million taels of silver, so much money is enough to become the richest man in Qingguo.

With this money, it can also allow Haoxuan to recruit more soldiers.

Although he didn't know his overall plan for the time being, Mo Yan still helped him silently, and since he cooperated, he naturally had to trust his plan.

She suddenly remembered that the carriage was still downstairs, and said to Yueniang: "Sister, I need to go to the capital."

A sense of loss flashed in Yueniang's eyes, "Are you going to go out again?"

"Well, I'm going out again." Mo Yan hugged Yueniang, buried her head in her shoulder, and a warm feeling came from her arms, "Sister, the business will be taken care of by you." Remember to take good care of your body. “

Yueniang tidied up her hair and smiled softly, "I know." Go ahead!"

Mo Yan reluctantly left Ningyue Tower, wearing a veil, and left in a hurry, stepping into the carriage.

On the way to the Imperial City, there were many refugees crowded on the road, their clothes were ragged, their faces were a little greasy, they should have not bathed for many days, and there was a strange smell on their bodies.

Some of the women holding the babies anxiously begged the soldiers to let them into the city, but the officers and soldiers looked disgusted and pushed the refugees to the ground, and the mother of the child held the baby tightly in her arms, but she was scratched by the stones on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the emotions of those refugees suddenly exploded, and the court, which was so careless about human life, looked at the red eyes and frantically squeezed towards the city gate, just to win the opportunity to enter the city.

They had been exposed to the sun here for several days, rushing from the drought-stricken countryside, their feet were worn out along the way, the rice did not enter, their lips were dry and cracked, and when they saw the bloodshot inside, the only thing that supported them was the hope of coming to the capital to get help from the imperial court.

It's a pity that this hope was ruthlessly shattered by ruthless officers and soldiers.

The refugees were frantically shouting, "Let's go in!" ”

"Let's go inside!"

Seeing that the situation was about to be suppressed, the soldiers led by him hurriedly shouted for help, "Quickly call the Sima soldiers of Jiucheng to go out and suppress this group of refugees who don't know what to do!" ”

With the sound of the neat steps of the soldiers, rows of soldiers came out of the imperial city, suppressed the refugees by force, and the sharp weapons were aimed at the unarmed refugees, only to see those people lose their last glimmer of hope, kneeling on the ground and crying, "The sky is going to die, I will wait!" The emperor is unfair, God, why don't you open your eyes? ”
