After Liang Xiao was a former criminal minister, he was canonized as a first-class imperial merchant, and the news soon spread throughout the capital.

People finally know that the Marquis of Lanling has been rehabilitated.

However, the major families in the capital still control public opinion, and people do not know the details of the disaster of moving the capital back then.

Liang Xiao chose to use 10% of the profits for the relief of refugees, and also won the favor of the refugees.

After officially obtaining the privilege of Yipin Imperial Merchant, Liang Xiao was also relieved to recruit more workers from the refugee camp, and bought ten large mansions and three new workshops around the ancestral home.

The deposit of 10,000 taels given by Mrs. Mu is undoubtedly a help in the snow.

When the refugees heard that they were being recruited, they were all grateful and rushed to sign up.

There are more than 2,000 refugees in the capital, and there are 500 families.

Liang Xiao recruited 400 households, with a total of 1,900 people dragging their families, shocking the whole city.

The empress, who was waiting in the palace, received the news of Liang Xiao's recruitment of workers and was relieved: "Cash-for-work is indeed an excellent strategy. It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. ”

Liang Xiao's approach not only won the favor of the people for herself and her, the empress, but also eliminated a hidden danger for the capital.

Since ancient times, displaced people have been a factor of instability, and they are too easy to be provoked to rebel.

Especially now that the treasury is empty.

And Liang Xiao was ordered by the emperor to do business, representing the emperor, and also set an excellent example for these exiles.

It's just that the sisters decided to take only 30% of all Liang Xiao's business profits, plus 10% of Liang Xiao's relief of the homeless, which is 40%.

Sixty percent is what she and Liang Xiao say to the outside world, after all, it is natural for the Son of Heaven to take the lion's lead.

She didn't expect to rely on Liang Xiao's little profit to fill her coffers.

The real big head is still the salt drying method and contract tax provided by Liang Xiao.

"Sister, when I went to his workshop to observe, I found that those workers were really hardworking, maybe this is the reward for his recruitment of homeless people, right? These workers have endured the hardships of being displaced and cherish the status quo more than ordinary workers! Moreover, those workers are allowed to eat and live in unbuttoned meat buns at most, and he can still make a profit! Duan Yunsleeve was already full of little stars.

The empress quipped: "No one is a colt yet, you can't wait to be a proprietress yet." ”

"Humph! How can there be~" Duan Yunsleeve turned on the mode of being coquettish in Sister Diamond's arms again.

The empress caressed her sister's green silk and sighed in her heart.

Liang Xiao's recruitment of displaced people as workers is indeed a good deed that kills multiple birds with one stone, and it can be called a clever move.

Did he deliberately take advantage of the gratitude of these homeless people, or did he unintentionally insert willows and willows, and just treat these homeless people unexpectedly so that he found a new way?

But what really made her curious was what he wanted to do when he recruited so many workers.

The sugar mills in the capital should not need so many workers, because the supply of sugar cane is limited.

The empress was fascinated, and unconsciously, she took a rock candy from the jar and put it in her mouth, and her beautiful eyes lit up.

Very sweet.

Now she only thinks that the rock candy he sent is simply better than honey......

At this time, Liang Xiao was at home to comfort the new and old workers.

Because of the expansion, he went to the Beijing Dart Bureau to recruit the guards of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

Now he has a hundred guards, and the quality of these retired veterans is indeed very high.

But the problem is that none of these people can become their true descendants.

Now Liang Xiao has decided to select some of the children of these workers to be trained, and let them serve as male and female guards in the future.

These people's homes are in Liang Mansion, and their roots are naturally also in Liang Mansion, and they are full of gratitude to him and have a higher overall loyalty.

For this reason, Liang Xiao tirelessly asked the guards to report on the situation of these young boys and girls every day, and selected the loyal and honest ones, and asked his guards to teach them a little fist and kick.

In ancient times, the poor could often only work, and martial arts training was the business of rich and noble families, because martial arts training required both teachers and adequate nutrition.

Now Liang Xiao doesn't have so much money to train pro-soldiers, but it is not a big problem to let these children be rough and understand a little bit of the road.

The security in the capital is excellent, and there are very few fights.

These boys and girls also learned very hard, and they were practicing before the sun went down.

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion also received an order from Liang Xiao to make more sugar making utensils for him.

On this day, Liang Xiao took a stack of drawings and went to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion to visit Mu Qinxue.

Mu Qinxue looked at a bunch of strange-shaped design drawings and said softly: "Liang Gongzi has any equipment needed, just go to the workshop franchised by our mansion to customize it, and the Dingguo Marquis Mansion will not refuse the business of a first-class imperial merchant." ”

Liang Xiao advised: "This time the customization is different, the stakes are very high, and it must not be leaked in any case." ”

Mu Qinxue was stunned: "Why do you say this?" ”

"Because, if these utensils leak out, it is likely to cause food prices in the capital and even the whole country to skyrocket, and the people will suffer in the end." Liang Xiao said solemnly.

Mu Qinxue understood, nodded and said, "I will arrange for Lin'er to personally supervise the production, and the design drawings will never be allowed to leak." ”

Lin'er, who was standing on the side, took the design drawing, and she was also confused.

How can a bunch of tools lead to a sharp rise in food prices across the country?

After Liang Xiao paid the deposit, he asked, "Miss Mu's heart disease, has it improved recently?" ”

Mu Qinxue's heart warmed, and she nodded: "Thanks to you, I have rarely had a seizure recently." Maybe it's because I often see Liang Gongzi's masterpieces recently, and I am shocked and in a much better mood. As long as I am in a good mood, it will be difficult for heart disease to attack. ”

"Psychological effects?" Liang Xiao frowned.

Mu Qinxue nodded silently, worried in her heart.

The lie of heart disease, she felt more and more that it could not be rounded.

Moreover, will Liang Xiao consider marrying a woman with heart disease in the future?

"Then Miss Mu used to be in a bad mood?" Liang Xiao frowned.

Mu Qinxue was anxious and replied: "Yes, my father and mother always wanted to force me to marry the family, I was very heartbroken, even if they give up this idea now, I am still often sad and afraid." Thanks to Liang Gongzi's rescue recently, and he has repeatedly spoken amazingly, seeing the poems written by Liang Gongzi finally made me a little happier......"

Liang Xiao fell silent.

Mu Qinxue looked at Liang Xiao silently, and her heart became even more worried.

Her implication was to tell Liang Xiao that she didn't want to marry the family and had a good impression of him!

But Liang Xiao, who was sitting opposite, suddenly didn't say a word.

Mu Qinxue saw it in her eyes and said in frustration: "Liang Gongzi, I don't mean anything else, don't you mind......"

Liang Xiao waved his hand and begged, "Can you give me a pen and paper?" ”

Mu Qinxue was puzzled, but she still agreed.

Liang Xiao waved his pen and left a poem.

Clear and flat tune!

[Clouds want clothes, flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon. If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon. 】

After writing, Liang Xiao looked at Mu Qinxue, who was distracted, and asked, "Miss Mu, can this song for you make you happier?" ”
