Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 209 209 Yes, I am
After a day's rest, Mu Yu began to check the business situation in Yuanshan Town.

Just like what she thought, there was nothing to worry about in the business of Yuanshan Town. Yang Erlang and the other managers were doing a good job. The improvement that should be improved and the scale that should be expanded were even better than she expected.

What she has to do is to make some minor adjustments to the business of Yuanshan Town based on the decisions made in Jinzhou. The main thing is to build roads. They can contribute money and let the people in the town contribute to repair the roads first. serious.

At the reception banquet for her, she took advantage of the opportunity to say this, and the people present all expressed their approval after hearing it, but there were some people who were hesitant and disapproved, but they didn't make a sound.

She can be said to be the richest man in Yuanshan Town now. The rest of the merchants are either her subordinates or her vassals and collaborators. It's not fun to find it, and foreign businessmen know very well the rule that strong dragons don't overpower local snakes, so they won't come out to find it.

The most important thing is that the old mayor and some other older squires also agree, so the matter is naturally settled.

Mu Yu knew that those people had scruples in their hearts, and it was just that they were afraid of asking them to pay, a lot of money. Although road repairs were indeed everyone's responsibility, after all, road repairs would be good for everyone.

However, there is no need to force anything about this kind of thing. Anyway, she can benefit more from it, and it is nothing to pay more money.

She was about to speak, when the old mayor stood up and called on everyone to contribute money and power, and offered his own 300 taels of silver to support road construction. Others also responded one after another. I am quite embarrassed, and usually add a few words to help when the time comes.

The atmosphere was quite active, and it was difficult for everyone to be left behind, so they all talked about it one by one.

Mu Yu looked at the bad-looking people before and said to pay one by one. Although it is not a lot, it is relatively okay.

She nodded, and under everyone's gaze, she said, "I will contribute 1 taels to support road construction!"

Originally, there were other things to say, but when the name of 1 taels came out, everyone was excited.

You know, there were a total of six tables set up for this reception banquet, and more than sixty people came. Excluding Mu Yu's own dozen or so, the remaining forty or so people had collected less than 5000 taels of silver in total. One of her talents paid only 500 taels, and she made a move of 1 taels, which is really shocking!
"How much money did she make? It's as generous as 1 taels! At least 10,000+ taels!"

"Is it so profitable to open restaurants and grain shops? Didn't those big grain merchants make a lot of money before!"

"You forgot, her family also has a tavern and wine shop, and the wine is very expensive! Of course it can make a lot of money!"

"1 taels. I've never seen so much money in my life. Fortunately, she took it out to build roads without blinking. It's really..."

"Ms. Mu is really righteous..."

"It's kind of nice..."

"By the way, can I donate a little more of this money? A girl's family gave 1 taels, and I donated 100 taels. It's really not good..."

"Yes, yes, if I knew she paid so much, I would pay a little more. Anyway, the road is repaired, and we are also beneficial..."

"Just ask after dinner."

After eating, Mu Yu discussed with the old mayor first, and then handed over the supervision of road construction to the old mayor, who was in charge of road construction.

The old mayor was also very emotional, Mu Yu paid such a large sum of money, he thought she would let his own people supervise the road construction, but he didn't expect to let him, an old man, do it.

"I have two suggestions for you, old mayor."

"You said."

"First, the road needs to be built well and quickly, so don't begrudge money."

The old mayor nodded, "No problem, with such a large sum of money, the wages are higher and there are plenty of people to work."

"Second, publicize the amount of money donated by each family, and engrave it on the stone tablet beside the road after the road is repaired."

"No problem, that's what it should be."

"Then trouble the old mayor."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Road construction is a great thing for the people. He can see the bustling scene of Yuanshan Town in the near future, and he can also imagine the admiration and praise of the road builders in the world hundreds of years later.

This afternoon, Mu Yu saw the donation list posted.

The list is posted high on the wall, and a small official with a pen and paper is sitting beside it. Occasionally, a businessman walks over and takes out a lot of money, and the small official will take down the list and add a name and the amount of money. .

Mu Yu glanced at it, and now there are almost 8000 taels, which is a good sign.

The construction of the road started in full swing.

She communicated with Yang Erlang and the others about the future direction of the business in the town, and then there was nothing important to do in the town.

But he was not in a hurry to leave, mainly because he still had something on his mind.

Yang Erlang, he...

She never found a suitable opportunity to tell Yang Erlang about this matter, and every time she mustered up the courage, she leaked everything before she even spoke.

Questioning the gender of one's good friend is a bit awkward, how can one doubt someone's gender for no reason?
Especially now that she doesn't have any accurate evidence, they are all specious details. If she tells it, others will only say that she is thinking too much, and no one will believe it.

Besides, she still has to consider not to hurt the relationship between the two of them. It's hard to say this kind of thing.

Just dawdling for a few more days, she didn't go to Yang Erlang, but Yang Erlang came to her first.

"The Xu Gui you mentioned is here. He's in the private room of the restaurant. Do you want to meet him together?"

Mu Yu wanted to say that there was no need for her to see Xu Gui, the most she wanted was to talk about business and cooperate, she didn't need to come forward for such a small matter, Yang Erlang could handle it very well.

But after another thought, he still agreed.

In the private room, Xu Gui was very excited. He thought of many cooperation plans along the way. When he came, he saw the bustle and prosperity of Yuanshan Town with his own eyes, which strengthened his determination to cooperate.

Naturally, the cooperation talks went smoothly, and everyone was happy.

Xu Guijiu walked out of Taoyuan Restaurant with a full smile.

In the restaurant, Yang Erlang and Mu Yu are also in a good mood, they can make a lot of money from this business, and they don't need to do too much.

"The business is over, let's talk about something else? These days, you seem to have something on your mind."

Mu Yu was slightly surprised, feeling that while being peeked into his mind, he also felt that this was an opportunity.

"I do have something on my mind."

"Is it related to Jinzhou's business? Or, is it related to me?"

Being stared at by Yang Erlang, Mu Yu couldn't tell a lie, nor was he willing to tell a lie, for this reason, there was nothing to hide, so he simply revealed all the doubts he had these days.

"You're a girl, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am."
