Chapter 352 Renqing’s choice
"The secret recipe for making soap——"
Mrs. Songyuan County smelled the smell of profit, and immediately changed her face. She no longer faced tit-for-tat with the eldest princess like before, but put on a flattering look, "It's the little one who has eyesight but cannot see the mountains. Before, I'm offended, Your Highness, your mind is as broad as the ocean and as high as the mountain, don't care about me, a woman with short experience and who has lived in the grass for a long time."
After that, he slapped his own mouth in the same manner.
The old face is really open-minded and not ashamed at all.
Mu Tingxue was not annoyed with her. On the contrary, she felt that a "villain" like Cui Xiulian was the most useful.
You can easily use your interests to control her (him) and make her do things for you. When you don't want to use it anymore, since her moral character is not very good, there are tricks everywhere, and you can easily kick her away.
This is also the reason why many emperors in Chinese history liked to use the terms "treacherous officials", "treacherous ministers" and "profiteers".
Songyuan County Duke and Songyuan County Lady are of extremely high seniority, which is their strength. They have a certain say and prestige in the huge Yan family. Just imagine, if even these two people agreed to release the good slaves and donate the land, what other opinions would the other clan members of the Yan family branch have?
Mu Tingxue shared the secret recipe of soap. Is there any loss?
No.
The day after tomorrow is the wedding day.
When the Yan family opens a soap factory, a sauce factory, and a liquor factory, isn't it just their own family running a factory?
Moreover, the more soap is produced, the better the national personal hygiene situation will be and the fewer diseases will be, effectively achieving the goal of epidemic prevention!
As a result, the two sides hit it off immediately.
With the vigorous promotion of the regent, the head and branches of the Yan family freed a total of 10,000 domestic slaves and distributed 50,000 acres of land.
As compensation, many tribesmen received recipes for soap and sweet wheat sauce, and invested in soap factories, ketchup factories, pickle factories, breweries, etc. in various states and counties.
Suddenly, the reputation among the people of the Yan family, the family's notorious usurper of power, began to gradually improve.
In the past, when everyone mentioned the regent or the Yan family, they would spit and curse "shameless national traitors".
Now, when some farmers and migrant workers mention the Yan family, they give a thumbs up with a smile and praise "Yan is a good person."
The serfs turned over and became yeoman farmers. From lowly status to good status, they also had their own fields, and their situation was greatly improved.
Migrant workers also found work in the Yanjia factories that sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. They could receive wages on a monthly or daily basis and support their families.

Housekeeping department.
Mu Tingxue sat beside the large pear flower wood case, staring at a letter of dedication on the table.
That is, a resignation report.
"What do you mean?"
She raised her eyes, frowned slightly, and asked the handsome young cousin in front of her, "This is Yunhuang's first-class fat job, and you don't want to do it anymore?!"
"Thank you for your support, Your Highness, but... this clerical job is not very suitable for me."
Yan Renqing stood there, lowering his head in shame.
Like a child who has done something wrong, obey the instructions.
"The salt transport envoy of the Woye River, from the third rank, holds 1.6 million salt in his hands. Thousands of salt merchants on both sides of the Woye River look up to him. With such a powerful and wealthy position, Renqing, please tell me It’s clear, where exactly are you dissatisfied?”
Mu Tingxue was a little angry.
At first, there were so many people trying to send salt messengers to her household, but Li Dang tried her best, but she guarded her tightly.
She trusted Renqing and gave him such a good position.
In the past six months, he has done very well in the field and made outstanding political achievements. He popularized the secret method of extracting refined salt from soy milk in Woyejiang and vigorously rectified the local salt policy.
“No dissatisfaction whatsoever!”
Yan Renqing hurriedly raised his head and stared straight at her with a pair of beautiful auspicious eyes, "His Highness's kindness to his subordinates will be firmly remembered in their hearts. It's just... It's just that if you hold this position, you have to be out of town for a long time. I come back at most twice a year. My father is seriously ill and has been poisoned by arsenic. He needs someone to serve him all the time. My brother is naturally weak and has a busy schedule at court, so it is difficult to take care of both. So I want to serve my father and do my part. Filial piety.”
Mu Tingxue was stunned.
I didn't expect it to be such a reason.
The ancients attached great importance to filial piety, and Yunhuang governed the world based on filial piety and brotherhood. The recommendation of officials was also called "promoting filial piety and integrity."
My uncle Yan Xi was poisoned by arsenic. Although he survived, he did suffer irreversible kidney damage and needed to stay in bed for several months. In the past few months, the government affairs of Shangshu Province have been handled by Shangshu Zuocheng's second cousin on his father's behalf.
The second cousin was already frail and anemic. He used to hold the posts of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Finance at the same time. He was divided into two halves, and now he has to be broken into three halves. Even his father's job is gone. And I did it. I got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a cat every day. I was so tired that I lost a lot of weight. Where is the extra time and energy to perform filial piety in front of the hospital bed?
"I am going home this time to attend the wedding between you and the regent's cousin, and to pay homage to my mother. I was supposed to go back in five days."
Yan Renqing was distressed and begged, "But right now, something has happened in the family. I hope your highness can allow me to stay in Yundu. My father is so ill and my eldest brother is extremely tired. I want to help them."
Deep down in his heart, he didn't want to go to Woyejiang at all.
What about the best fat girl in the world?
In that distant land, I couldn't see her at all. I could only miss her day and night, which was very painful.
Moreover, it is not convenient for him to take revenge!
When Mu Tingxue heard what he said, the anger in her heart was extinguished, just because she said: "Woyejiang Salt Transport Ambassador, you did a good job before. Now, let me find someone more qualified immediately. On top?"
The relationship between father and son is a human relationship, and it is natural for a son to be filial before his bedside.
Whether she is a boss or a cousin, it is difficult to stop her.
"The pattern of the Woyejiang Salt Administration has been decided. The new method of making salt has been popularized on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and local illicit salt sellers have also been severely cracked down by their subordinates. As long as your successor has sufficient qualifications, he will be absolutely loyal to you. , act according to the rules and can definitely do the job.”
Yan Renqing was smart and capable, and in half a year he managed the salt merchants on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to be submissive, and the situation was excellent.
His successor, as long as he works hard, can stabilize the situation and pick the peaches.
He doesn't mind being peach picked, he just wants revenge.
"Okay, then I will arrange for another salt transport envoy. Renqing, is there anything you want to do? Since the second cousin is working too hard, then the left minister of the household department that he took from afar will be yours..."
"I want to go back to the military."
"What?" Mu Tingxue thought she was hallucinating.
"I have practiced martial arts with my master since I was a child. I have developed good light skills and read many military books. Your Highness, I still want to return to the Zhenbei Army and continue to be a general."
