After rebirth, I became the richest man in the capital

Chapter 221
Everyone's spirits have also recuperated, and it is rare for them to have the interest to take a good stroll on the street.

The prosperity of the past has been restored on the street, and it seems that it has not been affected at all. How should the vendors make a living or how to make a living.

Murong Shu was a little surprised and said: "They don't seem to have any reaction to the prefect being arrested?"

Lianyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course, I'm even happier!"

Meng Liangchen and the others looked over: "Why? Didn't Yu Heng always boast that he loves the people like a son? His external image has always been good."

Lianyi curled her lips, and said, "Love the people like a child, the tax is [-]% to [-]% higher than the imperial court's regulations! That is to say, the livelihood of Guancheng is relatively easier here, and the income of the people in the city is not bad, so there has never been much resistance. .”

A few people walked and strolled all the way, and from time to time there would be a series of carriages pulling a whole load of sacks on the street.

It seemed to be pulled from the warehouse behind the restaurant where they lived before.

Meng Liangchen asked curiously, "What are these?"

Tian Yu, who was protecting behind several people, said: "Boss, these are static salts hidden in restaurants and the magistrate's mansion."

Refined salt?

Meng Liangchen suddenly thought of salt in modern times, which seemed to be divided into refined salt and coarse salt.

She looked at Tian Yu: "Is the price of these salts relatively high?"

Tian Yu nodded and said: "The price of refined salt is indeed higher than that of coarse salt, and ordinary people eat coarse salt."

Meng Liangchen replied thoughtfully, and after returning to the prefect's former residence, he went to the kitchen to have a look.For the salt in the kitchen, the coarse salt is packed in sacks, while the refined salt is relatively fine, and it is easy to leak out when it is packed in ordinary sacks, so it is usually packed in densely woven cloth bags.

The output of coarse salt is high, while the output of refined salt is low, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. With the current technology, the drying and production of salt are probably in a state of more effort and less output.

It's a pity that there is no sea in Damu. If the sea is in Damu, she might be able to visit the place where the salt is dried.

A few days later, all the follow-up matters were basically dealt with, and the local officials were basically involved in the affairs of Yu Heng and his son, so there was no one available for a while, and the new officials had not been dispatched yet, so Song Zhixing He was temporarily left to take over the prefect position of Border City.

When Meng Liangchen and the others left the city, almost all the people in the city came to see them off. Although they didn't say anything, they watched them leave quietly on the roads on both sides of the city gate, and some even waved goodbye.

Among them were the rescued girls who mixed in the crowd and looked at their carriage gratefully until they left the city gate.

The carriage returned to the capital after ten or so days on the way. Although this experience was not very dangerous, it was a bit different from when the few people went there with a relaxed and happy mood at first, so everyone disappeared on the way back Leisurely went to wander elsewhere, and went back to Beijing directly.

When their carriage arrived at the gate of the city, they saw someone riding a horse waiting at the gate from a distance.

Mu Ze looked from a distance, and recognized the man as Mu Yun.

I haven't seen him for a month, and the aura around him seems to have changed a bit. Just waiting there alone makes people feel lonely, but there is an indescribable turbulent and majestic lingering up and down.

Seeing the carriage approaching, Mu Yun rode up to meet him.

"Big brother!"

He greeted Mu Ze first, with a smile on his face, but Mu Ze felt that there was an indescribable feeling in the smile.

It seems to be a reunion after a long absence, but they only parted for a month.

The moment Mu Yun saw Meng Liangchen, that gaze made Mu Ze feel the true meaning revealed in his eyes.

It's a long-lost reunion, lost and found again!
Mu Yun's gaze was on Meng Liangchen for a long time and never left. Although he did it in a subtle way, the scorching feeling was not only felt by Mu Ze, but also by Meng Liangchen.

Mu Ze frowned, but didn't say anything in front of everyone.

Mu Ze went back to the palace to report on his duties, Meng Liangchen and the others went home to rest first. Early the next morning, the emperor's imperial decree came from the palace, and they would have a banquet at noon to celebrate their achievements.

Meng Liangchen dressed up and followed the little sisters into the palace.

They went to say hello to the empress first, and after the empress expressed condolences one by one, they called Meng Liangchen to the front, touched the little hand of Meng Liangchen who was sitting beside them, and there was a flash of distress in their eyes.

"Thinner and darker."

Meng Liangchen blushed and lowered his eyes in embarrassment, but Lianyi deliberately showed a bit of taste.

"Mother's queen! Liangchen is not my sister-in-law! There is only one person here who calls your mother's queen, you are so partial!"

The Empress gave her a look, and said: "You detached girl, you are not married, and you can't even see the shadow of a grandson! The empress mother pointed at Liang Chen to be her daughter-in-law and give birth to the emperor's grandson!"

Meng Liangchen's face turned even redder. She's not even married yet, she's giving birth!The empress is too anxious, right? !

But she couldn't say anything, seeing Meng Liangchen's embarrassment, Lianyi rolled her eyes.

"I'm so young, I still want to spend two more years with my mother. Why is my mother so anxious to marry me off?"

Her words made the empress listen to her, she looked at her with a smile, and said angrily: "You, just let me and your father get into trouble!"

The queen looked at Murong Shu who was sitting quietly beside her, and asked: "Princess Murong has been in Beijing for a while, I wonder if there is anyone she likes to marry?"

When Murong Shu was asked about this, Meng Liangchu's face flashed in his mind.

But so far the two have not really confirmed their relationship. At this time, she has also changed her impulsive personality slightly at the time, so she didn't directly say Meng Liangchu's name.

"There has been a candidate, but the other party's intention has not been confirmed yet. If it is confirmed at that time, I will come to the empress to make the decision."

The queen nodded in satisfaction, Murong Shu has been in Damu for a year, and should have gotten married in Damu long ago to complete the marriage between the two countries, but there are too many things between them, so it has been delayed until now.

Now that Murong Shu already has someone he likes, it is estimated that the formal marriage between the two countries is not far away.

After chatting for a while, several people walked into the back garden to have dinner together.

At this time, Mu Ze, Mu Yun and the others were already sitting there waiting.

The weather is just right and the flowers are in full bloom, perfect for al fresco dining.

During the dinner, the food on Meng Liangchen's table was slightly different from that on other people's tables. Only Mu Ze, who had been paying attention to Meng Liangchen, discovered this.

The look in his eyes flickered slightly, recalling the scene before the meal.

Meng Liangchen's menstrual period is approaching, and he can't eat cold food. When Mu Ze was sitting at the banquet, he suddenly remembered this matter. When he got up and went to give instructions to the nanny in charge, he found out that Mu Yun had already given the instructions.
