Chapter 97
Seeing the messy look in the store, Mu Qingxi couldn't help asking: "Yue Rong, are you moving out?"

Shang Yuerong said sadly: "That's right, there is going to be a war soon, and Southern Shu is not a place to stay for a long time. My brother said that he wants to go north."

Shang Yueyue walked over with a more solemn expression: "Brother Mu, I'm afraid that King Fanyang will invade Nanshu around the end of the year, so do you want to stay?"

Mu Qingxi pondered for a while: "I still have one urgent matter at hand, and I may have to go to Dajin."

Shang Yueyue showed disappointment: "I thought you would go with us, but in fact, the business in Beidi is also developing very well."

Mu Qingxi said apologetically: "But I do have important matters in Dajin that I need to deal with personally, and I really can't leave."

Shang Yueli hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, the Great Jin may soon be at war."

Mu Qingxi asked in surprise: "Dajin is about to go to war? And where? Where did you get the news from?"

She is as well informed as she is, why didn't she hear any news?

Shang Yueyue smiled faintly, "Don't forget, my business is all over the world, and I will definitely know if there is any trouble. As for who Dajin is fighting with, I don't know. I only know that Dajin has been in chaos recently. .My store will not be closed, but most of the valuables will be transferred. What is the most scarce in a war? That is grain and medicinal materials. If I keep such a big store open, I am afraid that the first one will be robbed. Now I will move all the valuables away, even if King Fanyang enters the city, even if my shop is demolished, it will not hurt his vitality."

Mu Qingxi smiled lightly and said: "Brother Shang still has an idea, but in my opinion, the purpose of King Fanyang is to compete with the imperial court and live north and south. Even if the city is occupied, it will not disturb the people too much. If he wants to establish himself as emperor, what he needs most is the hearts of the people."

Shang Yueyue nodded and laughed: "Brother Mu is right, but I'm used to being cautious, and this is just one of the bases, it's not closing the door, it's just transferring valuables, no matter who wins the world in the future , after all, the store is still there, with the store, are you afraid that the business will not be done?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Shang Yueyue looked at her for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Brother Mu is actually very talented in business, and in the past two short years, he has managed to do such a big business. I didn't expect it. If you can join hands with me and we go to the north together, we will definitely have greater development."

Shang Yuerong also looked at her expectantly: "Yes, Brother Mu, you can go with us, restaurants can be opened anywhere, and the northerners are very popular, your hot pot restaurant will only open there. It's even better!"

Mu Qingxi's heart moved slightly, she thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Well, I'll finish the work at hand and go to the north to look for you, just like Yue Rong said, my restaurant went to the north, as long as With a little rectification, there will be a lot of people who should eat.”

Shang Yuerong jumped up happily: "Brother Namu, let's make an agreement, as long as you finish the matter at hand, you must come to the Northland to find us."

Mu Qingxi smiled lightly: "Okay."

Shang Yueyue took out a gold-plated famous thorn from his bosom, and handed it to Mu Qingxi: "Put this famous thorn away, no matter where you go, any medicinal material you see is marked with the word 'shangji'. As long as you give this name badge to the shopkeeper, you can buy any medicinal material at a price that is [-]% lower than others, which can be regarded as a little sincerity for our cooperation."

Mu Qingxi was overjoyed immediately: "That's it, thank you, Brother Shang." Such a favorable condition was given to her, and if she went anywhere in the future, the cost would be much lower in the medicine industry.

Seeing that they were busy, Mu Qingxi said, "Then let's part for the time being, and see you in the north when we meet in the future."

Shang Yueyi lightly cupped his hands and smiled: "See you in the North."

Shang Yuerong said reluctantly: "Brother Xi, you must come!"

Mu Qingxi left with a smile.

After leaving the Shangji Pharmacy, she hesitated for a moment, then headed towards the government office again.

After all, the servants of the government office have always been very well restrained by Luo Wanshan, and they didn't seem too flustered at this time, but after seeing her, they couldn't help but shine in their eyes.

An officer with a familiar face stepped forward and bowed to her slightly, but he couldn't help but sound a little flustered: "Master Mu, you are here, what are we, Mr. Luo, so anxious about now?"

Mu Qingxi was stunned for a moment, as if she had realized something, she smiled at the officer, "Then I will have the elder brother of the officer to pass it on for me, saying that Mu asked to see Master Luo."

The guard quickly agreed, turned around and ran towards the Yamen.

Not long after, Luo Wanshan greeted her in person, and when he saw her, he quickly said, "Brother Mu, it's good if you come, help me figure out a way, what should I do now? I'm so anxious!"

Mu Qingxi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with Master Luo?"

Luo Wanshan sighed, and pulled her into the Yamen's study room. After entering the house, Luo Wanshan carefully covered the door, and finally showed a look of panic on his face.

"Brother Mu, tell me what should I do now? King Fanyang is about to attack. Now I have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. If King Fanyang comes in, will my life be lost? ?Will King Fanyang slaughter the city? I don’t know when the imperial court will come, so I can’t abandon the city and run away, right? Then...whether I live or die in the future, I’m afraid I’ll never have the face to face the world again .”

Mu Qingxi smiled faintly, and finally understood what he was worried about.

She asked Luo Wanshan to sit down, and then slowly said: "Lord Luo, you don't need to be so worried. Maybe things are not as bad as you think."

Luo Wanshan said in a daze: "Why did Mr. Mu say such a thing?"

Mu Qingxi smiled lightly and said: "As far as I know, although King Fanyang conspired against him, he did not enter the imperial capital all the way, but went all the way southward along the southwest. Judging by his actions, he wanted to live apart from the imperial court. If he wants to occupy the south and become his local emperor, he must not lose the hearts of the people, so he has only occupied the city along the way, but he has never heard of any massacres of the city."

Luo Wanshan's face softened slightly: "So that's how it is."

Mu Qingxi nodded with a smile: "So Master Wan just continue to be your magistrate with peace of mind. If King Fanyang comes, you will open the city to welcome him."

Luo Wanshan was shocked: "Kaicheng to welcome you? Wouldn't I become a sinner of the court?"

Mu Qingxi shook his head: "No, Lord Luo did this for the safety of the hundreds of thousands of residents in Jinzhou City. Opening the city to meet the enemy is just to prevent the people from being killed. No matter who will be the emperor in the future, Lord Wan They will be called good officials who love the people like their sons."

A smile gradually appeared on Luo Wanshan's face: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful." He was overjoyed: "Brother Mu is still clear-headed. In this way, I don't have to worry about whether to stay or not."

Mu Qingxi said with a faint smile: "Yes, sir, just stay in Jinzhou City, it's better to appease the people."

Luo Wanshan nodded again and again: "Thank you, brother Mu, for your words, which made me suddenly enlightened!"

Mu Qingxi smiled modestly.

Only then did Luo Wanshan ask her what her plans were, and Mu Qingxi only briefly said that she planned to go to Dajin to deal with business matters recently, and the business in Nanshu would not move for the time being.

Luo Wanshan nodded, his mind was settled, and he didn't care much about her whereabouts, so he just confessed a few words and that's all.

When asked how to take care of her restaurant and winery, Mu Qingxi knew that he was thinking about his bonus, so he just smiled and said: "Since Mr. Luo is still sticking to Jinzhou City, the small shop next to me will naturally depend on Mr. Luo." I believe that even if Fan Yang enters the city, he still wants to eat and drink. He is a majestic prince, so he will never eat without giving money!"

After finishing speaking, both of them laughed, but there was no smile in Mu Qingxi's eyes.

Isn't it natural for these people not to pay for their meals?It's fine in other places, but in Nanshu, the word "Deyilou" is too eye-catching. It's better to change it a little bit, so as not to be guessed by them because of this name. , and angered the people in the restaurant.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingxi said to Luo Wanshan: "I always feel that the word "Deyilou" is too ostentatious, and now it is a troubled time, and I am thinking of changing the name so as not to be too eye-catching in the future." trouble."

Luo Wanshan Nianxu nodded: "Young Master Mu is quite reasonable. In my opinion, it would be better to change to "Yipinju"."

Mu Qingxi was overjoyed, and bowed to him: "Thank you, Master Luo, then, I will invite Master Luo to write a painting."

Luo Wanshan chuckled, he was in a good mood at this moment, he didn't refuse, took a pen and paper, and wrote "Yipinju" in three large Chinese characters.

Mu Qingxi took it over and praised: "The pen is like a dragon, Mr. Luo is really good at writing."

Luo Wanshan said a few words of humility, and Mu Qingxi's goal had been achieved, so he left.

She came to the shop where the plaque was made, handed the paper to the shopkeeper, and deliberately pointed out that this was written by Lord Luo, the prefect, and she must do it well, and there must be no mistakes.

When the shopkeeper heard that it was the magistrate's handwriting, he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly bowed and agreed.

Mu Qingxi made an appointment with him, and he would personally deliver it to Deyilou before noon the next day.Mu Qingxi put down enough money, and the shopkeeper saw that he was straightforward and generous, so he quickly agreed repeatedly.

At this moment, Mu Qingxi turned around and returned to the Deyi Building.First, I wrote a letter to Su Zhaoxiu with a flying pigeon, explaining the situation in Nanshu, and then I prepared to move with Xu Menglin and others.

Except for restaurants and wineries that are open normally, the rest of the stores are all closed, and all valuable materials and personnel have begun to be transferred in batches.

Before noon the next day, amid the increasingly tense atmosphere in Jinzhou City, Deyilou quietly replaced the signboard that had been hanging for more than two years and became "Yipinju".

As for the customers who often come to dine, it often takes a long time before they suddenly realize that the restaurant has not only changed the signboard, except for the shopkeeper and the chef who have not changed, Mr. Mu who often haunts the restaurant, the accountant Xu and the five big and three rough Guan Caimai disappeared in Jinzhou City.

 The second update will be delivered, and there will be another update at 21 o'clock in the evening.
