Group pet small peasant girls: Escape the famine with the space of merit

Chapter 340 Wangjiang Tower

339
The houses in "Fengnuan Pavilion" are built very randomly, with each room separated by several meters or tens of meters. There are more than ten rooms in this yard, and there is no distinction between primary and secondary, but each room is very large.

Nianxia and Lianqiu walked around the yard, and picked the two largest rooms for Bai Lang, his wife and Nuannuan to live in.

There is a kitchen, a firewood room, and a bathroom in this yard. There is nothing missing, but it is relatively simple.

But none of them are pampered and delicate people, so these are nothing.

"I came here when I was fleeing famine, so it's pretty good." Wen Nuan said with a smile.

"indeed."

After a few days of driving, everyone was very tired, so they took a rest after washing up.

In the evening, the steward of the Feng Mansion came to "Feng Nuan Pavilion" to pick up Bai Lang and his party to the "Wangjiang Tower" in the city.

As the name suggests, "Wangjiang Tower" sits in a private room on the upper floor of the restaurant. Through the window, you can see a big river coming from a distance several miles away from Biyun City, winding down from the outside of Biyun City.

The river here is gentle, and you can faintly see several boats on the river while sitting in the private room of the restaurant.

In the private room, Feng Shengtian and his wife have been waiting for a long time.

"I kept Master Feng waiting for a long time." Upon entering the private room, Bai Lang cupped his hands towards Feng Shengtian and his wife.

"It's because we came early." Feng Shengtian smiled back and introduced his wife to several people: "This is Mrs. Guo."

Mrs. Guo looks handsome, about 30 years old, plainly dressed, and has a sharp personality. She smiled and said, "Knowing that Master Bai, Mrs. Bai, and the Lord of Lequan County came to our Biyun City, I was so excited. I finally saw you today." There are a few of you. Those who have come to Biyun City are our people from Biyun City, but they dare not be polite to us, if they are useful to us, just speak up."

Bai Lang was not too polite, he smiled and said: "Bai will thank Mrs. Feng on behalf of the cheap nephew and the county master."

Feng Shengtian is calm and dignified, Guo Shi is refreshing and funny, after a meal, they get closer to each other.

Guo knew that her husband wanted to talk to Bai Lang, so she invited Qiao Wanyue and Wen Nuan to watch the night scene: "The river view in Chunyang City at night is pretty good. If Mrs. Bai and the county chief are not busy, why don't you stay a little longer?"

Of course Qiao Wanyue and Nuannuan agreed.

It got dark quickly, and outside Biyun City, that is, the riverside of Chunyang City became lively shortly after dark. It turned out that there were many people from Chunyang City who set up stalls by the riverside. Lanterns are hung on the ceiling, standing in the "Wangjiang Tower" and looking at it, the stars under the night are so beautiful.

"The location of this restaurant is really good." Wen Nuan couldn't help but say something.

Mrs. Guo smiled and said: "When we built this restaurant, we didn't think too much about it. We just thought that there was no place for rich families to entertain in this city. After the construction was completed, we found that the second floor of this restaurant can see the city of Chunyang. The river next to it simply took the name 'Wangjiang Tower'."

Only then did Qiao Wanyue and Wen Nuan realize that this "Wangjiang Tower" was actually Feng Shengtian and Guo's property.

Wen Nuan hesitated for a while, and asked: "Madam of the city owner, when we entered the city, we saw a lot of people selling stalls on this street, and they seemed to be selling handicrafts. I don't know what the people in Biyun City do for a living. ?”

Even if this kind of question is asked by other outsiders, there is nothing to hide, let alone the wife of the owner of the "Fengnuan Pavilion". Guo said with a smile: "I am not afraid of the county owner's jokes. There are not many mountainous lands that can grow some fruit trees, and there are not many fields that can grow food. The people of Biyun City cannot survive by farming, so my husband found a way to take some jobs for the people elsewhere, and earn some pocket money to supplement the family.

"In addition, my husband also opened some shops in nearby towns, or bought Zhuangzi, and dispatched capable men in the city, so that the people could barely make ends meet."

Qiao Wanyue looked at Guo's eyes full of admiration: "The Lord Feng and his wife are really amazing."

The livelihood of the people in the city falls on the husband and wife. One can imagine how much pressure they are under, but when they enter the city during the day, the people they see in Biyun City are all smiling. The whole Biyun City gave people a brisk atmosphere, which was obviously the confidence and confidence given to the people by Feng Shengtian and his wife.

Mrs. Guo smiled helplessly: "Madam Bai shouldn't praise her like this, the people of Biyun City are simple and content, but if the people are a bit greedy, they will not be able to stay in this poor and hopeless Biyun City."

"Ma'am, this is wrong!" Wen Wen said: "Although we have just arrived in Biyun City, what we see is not the poverty and hopelessness that Madam said, but the relaxation and happiness of the people in Biyun City and the harmonious atmosphere in the city. Isn’t the most important thing for ordinary people is peace and happiness? The city lord and his wife gave them enough sense of security, so they can live in Biyun City with peace of mind, right?”

Mrs. Guo laughed heartily: "The opinion of the county magistrate is indeed different from that of ordinary women!"

Nuan couldn't help laughing: "I'm just telling the truth."

"I really like the truth of the county lord!" Guo returned to the table, and raised his glass to Qiao Wanyue and Nuannuan boldly: "I toast Mrs. Bai and the county lord."

Over the years, the husband and wife have been under a lot of pressure because they failed to allow the people of Biyun City to live a prosperous life. After listening to the words of the Lequan county magistrate today, she suddenly felt relieved and felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drank a glass of fruit wine with Guo with a smile.

Nuan put down the wine glass, and asked the general price of the handicrafts made by the people of the Guo family.

Hearing that the price is not high, Wen Nuan is not surprised at all: "Ma'am, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Have the city lord and madam thought about relying on themselves?"

Guo didn't understand: "Which aspect is the county lord referring to?"

"In terms of crafts."

Guo Shi pondered: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

The handicrafts made by the people of Biyun City are work received from different places. Excluding the raw materials, even if they can make handicrafts that meet the needs of customers from the beginning to the end, it is useless if there is no market.

It is a minor matter for the common people not to make money, but it is a major matter for those who lose money. They do not have so much money to post.

Mrs. Guo is a straightforward person, she didn't hide her warmth, and said straightforwardly: "What if I can set up a few workshops in Bicheng?"

Bi Dachuan's family has already started to make fish skin raincoats and rain boots, but their family has limited manpower after all, Bi's family promised her that she could take in apprentices and pass on the craftsmanship.

She has been considering whether to set up a workshop in Lianzhou City or Zhongzhou City, and now it seems that Biyun City is the most suitable, because the imperial court has very limited control over Biyun City, and she will not be shy when doing things.

Guo Shi was overjoyed: "The county lord is serious?"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Guo thought of something, and calmed down again: "However, we have too many mountains in Biyun City, and there are not many places where the county can host workshops."
