Meng Qing didn't know who she learned it from, but what she said was getting better and better.

Chen Mu saw Meng Qing looking in his direction with a sly face, he shook his head a little helplessly and sighed.

After grinding with Meng Qing for a while, and dealing with the affairs of the factory government, Chen Mu took Meng Qing to rest.

Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Mu took Meng Qing to the factory government to check the current situation in the government office.

Due to the loss of power of the Xu merchants, the merchants in the factory who relied on the good relationship with the Xu account to make a fortune have also stopped, and there is no trouble to continue to find a few other young merchants.

And because Liu Guang became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, those merchants not only did not dare to trouble those young merchants, but even intended to make friends with those young merchants.

It's just that those young merchants are not easy to get along with, and they have long remembered the trouble these people caused them when they provoked them before.

Sensing that the merchants were trying to make friends with them, the young merchants were very dismissive of this.

Chen Mu and Meng Qing led people to take a walk around the factory office.

Seeing that a lot of silk and cotton thread had been transported in the palace, I knew that the merchants in the factory were also waiting for the textile equipment to be sent into the factory.

They all figured that if more of the textile equipment could be made, it would have been sent to the factory in their town first.

After all, Li Mao is from their town.

If the things Li Mao studied could really win the blue eyes of the imperial court, then this thing would definitely benefit their counties first, and then they could consider other counties.

Their considerations are good, but the reason why Chen Mu plans to send textile equipment to this county in the future is not because Li Mao is from this county.

It's because there is a pilot project in this county for factories and government offices.

He planned to send the equipment to the factory government first, and then let people inspect it.

With the cooperation of the merchants and the officials in the factory office, confirm how much fabric the factory can produce in a month.

Then, through the proceeds of this pilot, we will plan and arrange to set up pilots in various countries and regions.

Now that we are ready to set up a pilot project for the factory government, it is natural to focus on those towns that produce cotton thread and silk.

After taking care of the affairs of this town, Chen Mu did not delay, and arranged for people to send Li Mao and the textile equipment researched by Li Mao to the capital.

Chen Mu specially sent a message to Lu Wen, informing Lu Wen that he was going to leave the county.

After asking Lu Wen about his father's trip to the capital, he sent news to the Ye family in the capital.

Chen Mu didn't plan to tell Lu Wen the county where he was going to settle and the route he was going to take next.

Although Lu Wen didn't know his true identity, in order to ensure that his next plans would not be affected by other things, Chen Mu was ready to act cautiously.

After arranging everything, Chen Mu took Meng Qing to the county where the Women's Protection Mansion had been established.

I've been to this county before.

However, at that time, I came to this county to inspect several villages around the county and set up a pilot project to control the locust plague.

Now I am coming to the county to see the women's protection office.

The carriage traveled smoothly for two days, and soon arrived at the county.

Chen Mu did not immediately contact the county magistrate of the county, but first led people in the direction of the women's protection mansion.

The Nafu Ya was set up in the western suburbs of the county, which was quite far away from the county seat of the county order.

Chen Mu led people to walk in the city for a long time, and finally walked to the front of the women's protection mansion.

Meng Qing frowned, looked up and looked around, and then muttered.

"If we knew it was so far away, we should have called a carriage and traveled by carriage, wasting a stick of incense in vain, although it was getting colder and colder now."

"But it's not comfortable to be exposed to the sun like this, Childe, are you tired? Why don't we go to the tea shed next to us and take a break? ”

Chen Mu didn't feel tired, but he turned his head and glanced at it, and saw that Meng Qing's forehead was sweating, and he knew that Meng Qing was afraid that he was tired, so he nodded in response to Meng Qing's words.

Meng Qing cheered when she saw this, and walked towards the direction of the tea shed with Chen Mu and the others.

Settled in the teahouse, Chen Mu raised his head and looked around, perhaps because it was just in time for the afternoon, when the people were busy with the farming work at hand.

There are not many people sitting and resting in this tea shed.

Only a few people sat at the table a little further away from them.

Seeing this, Chen Mu glanced at the guards standing beside him.

The guard's eyes moved slightly, nodded in response, and walked behind the people, and then pretended to look at the scenery and listened to the words.

After listening for a while, Chen Mu saw that the guard's gaze moved slightly, and then, a little confusion appeared on his face,

He turned his head and strode in his direction again, and Chen Mu couldn't help but be stunned.

He frowned as he saw the guard walk up to him, arching his hand at him, and then speaking in a low voice.

"My lord, there is a matter, I heard them discussing something related to the women's protection office, and I heard that the county order seems to be in conflict with the female officials in the government."

"These days, I've always been troublesome with the female officials in the palace, and we'll go to the women's protection office for a while, and we have to ask carefully."

"I don't know if this is spread by these people, or if it is really true."

Chen Mu was stunned when he heard the guard say this, and then nodded silently and responded.

He turned his head and glanced in Meng Qing's direction, and Meng Qing's eyes flashed slightly when he saw this.

She leaned in front of Chen Mu and said in a very low voice.

"You see, we really guessed the matter, I was worried that those female officials would be oppressed by the town officials after they came to this town."

If the affairs of those female officials had nothing to do with the affairs of the folk women, perhaps the officials and prefectural officials of the town would not have treated those female officials poorly.

After all, those female officials are all from the capital, and they can be regarded as having some identity backgrounds, and it is better to have a good relationship than to offend the people in the capital.

It's a pity that those female officials came to this county for women's affairs, and they wanted to stand out for women, so they naturally would compete with men in the county.

The magistrates and other officials in that county were all men, and when they realized that the female officials were for the sake of women, the men put themselves in opposition to the female officials.

At first, when the female officers first came to their town, the men would not always trouble the female officers.

It's just that a man rushed into the courtyard of the women who were divorced, intending to do something to the women who were divorced.

When the female officers arrived with socks, they wounded several men.

And two of those men still have some power in the town, so they united with the county officials to find trouble with these female officials.
