After calming those adults, the attention of those adults was on Chen Mu and Meng Qing.

Their eyes turned around Chen Mu and Meng Qing's bodies, and they saw that these two people were extraordinary.

These merchants have also seen the world, although the clothes worn by Chen Mu and Meng Qing are quite plain, but those merchants still see that the fabrics of those clothes are quite high-quality.

If you weren't born into a noble family, you wouldn't be able to wear such clothes.

The merchants glanced at each other, and they looked in the direction of Lord He.

One of the merchants took the initiative to step forward, arched his hand, and then glanced at Chen Mu and Meng Qing.

Lord He immediately understood what the merchant meant, and when he saw this, he introduced it to several adults.

"These two are good friends with me, and they are also business people, and when they heard about our factory, they wanted to come and take a look, and if they got the opportunity, they also hoped to be able to settle in the factory government in the future."

Hearing Lord He say this, the merchants immediately frowned.

They glanced at each other and sighed inwardly.

Just a few of them, they are still arguing a lot on weekdays.

If we arrange for someone to come in......

Alas, but then again, this is not something they can decide, and a few younger ones took the initiative to step forward to greet Chen Mu and Meng Qing.

Chen Mu wanted to know about the operation of local merchants, so he talked to those young people.

There were also three slightly older ones, who stood aside, looking at Chen Mu and Meng Qing with scrutinizing eyes.

They thought that they had been galloping together in business for a long time, and they had seen a lot of big people and made friends with many big people, so they didn't take Chen Mu and Meng Qing to heart.

The leader of the Chamber of Commerce where they were, the famous Boss Xu, still knew the nobles in the capital.

The young man and woman in front of him are nothing.

The merchants all pouted secretly, noticing that Lord He was looking in their direction, those people immediately restrained the expressions on their faces, nodded at Lord He, and made a humble gesture.

Lord He didn't care about the expressions of these merchants.

He also paid attention to the situation on Chen Mu's side.

After Chen Mu asked a few young merchants about the details of the factory office, he nodded secretly.

The young merchants also looked at each other when they saw that Chen Mu and Meng Qing were carefully inquiring about the affairs of the factory government.

One of them stepped forward and said tentatively.

"I see that you have an extraordinary bearing, are you a noble person from another family?"

When Chen Mu heard someone ask like this, he only smiled and nodded, and responded without saying much.

Seeing this, the young men looked at each other with sighs and sighs, and one of them whispered.

"I look at you, what town are you from?"

Seeing someone ask like this, Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he turned his head and glanced at Master He.

Lord He had just made it clear that they were not from this small city.

Now seeing someone ask like this, Chen Mu thought about it for a while, and calmly said that he was from the capital.

There was a slight look of longing on the faces of the young merchants.

In the capital, the identity is not simple, maybe there is an official background, no wonder you are familiar with Lord He.

The young men pulled Chen Mu and Meng Qing to chat again, and asked about the grand scenery of the capital.

Several merchants are good at dealing with people, and their personalities are lively, and Chen Mu and Meng Qing also feel very happy to talk with them.

Standing aside, the other three older merchants, who were invisibly left out in the cold, looked at each other and frowned.

They didn't bother to deal with Chen Mu and Meng Qing, so they found an excuse and left the courtyard.

Lord He glanced in their direction, but he didn't take their reactions to heart, he only stayed by Chen Mu and Meng Qing's side.

And after the merchants walked out of the courtyard, one of them grabbed the other two and spoke.

"Wait, it's not right, those young men and women look at their extraordinary backgrounds, are they the two people who took Li Mao away as Boss Xu said?"

Hearing someone say this, the other two merchants were stunned for a moment, and then immediately came back to their senses.

They turned their heads to look into the courtyard again, then nodded silently, and one of them said.

"Look, it does."

"It turns out that these two people are also merchants who beat the idea of the factory government, let's tell this news to Boss Xu."

"Isn't Boss Xu staring at them? I've heard that I'm planning to deal with these two people from the prefectural magistrate. ”

"Haha, if the two of them decide to settle in the factory office, then we can embarrass them from this factory office!"

Someone said this, his eyes flashed slightly, and his face was sly.

When the other two merchants heard this, they also nodded their heads in response, and they hurried out of the factory office, and the officials in the factory office did not notice that something was wrong.

And Chen Mu and Meng Qing were in this factory, and after inquiring about the situation with the merchants and officials in the factory, they also went home and went back to the inn.

Chen Mu did not delay, and immediately drafted a letter and sent it to the capital, preparing to issue a decree.

Let the local factories and government offices allocate resources in a unified manner, so as to prevent those merchants who have settled in the factories from conflicting due to resource problems.

The factory wants to grow for the long haul. Stabilizing the manpower in the factory is the most important, after all, people can determine the rise and fall of a factory.

If the merchants in the factory have their own selfish intentions, the interests of the factory will be divided, and in the end, there will be no benefit to the imperial court at all.

Chen Mu intends to use the power of the imperial court to mobilize all resources and maximize benefits as much as possible.

Under such circumstances, if the benefits were to fall into the hands of the merchants, it would be of no benefit to the imperial court.

Fertilizer is only a merchant everywhere.

When that time comes, merchants everywhere will have more surplus silver in their hands, but they may not continue to settle down.

Chen Mu knows this truth very well, which is also the reason why he wanted to allocate resources in a unified way.

After all, with the development of agriculture, the resources that can be deployed in various places have gradually increased.

If all those resources are gathered in the hands of merchants in various places, instead of being uniformly allocated by the imperial court, then all the benefits will fall into the hands of merchants.

It is inevitable that no one will have the mind to unite with the county government and even the central court.

By that time, his position would be unstable.

Only by allocating resources in a unified manner and collecting all the benefits in his own hands can he use those benefits to continue to build water conservancy projects in various places, build infrastructure, and even hoard troops and horses to expand his territory in the future.

After preparing the letter, Chen Mu got up again and went to the guest room where Li Mao and his younger siblings were temporarily staying.
