Chapter 1127: A Good Woman Who Keeps Up With the Times

They had thought that these people were useless trash with low spiritual power. Without them, however, many things also disappeared…

The main reason why they were in such dire straits was that they didn’t have these sorts of people in their residences!

Actually, it didn’t cost much to employ these people, but they never thought of them as important.

Now, all their contracts were in the empress’s hands.

“Let’s find a way to ask the empress for some people,” Murong Changfeng finally decided.

“Ask the empress for people? Ask for useless trash?”

How could the high and mighty experts of the noble families do such a thing?

Murong Changfeng didn’t care what the others decided. In any case, he had already decided to go with his mother’s suggestion. He would go to the empress first and ask for people, no matter how much money she wanted. The family needed to be able to get by first.

Everyone at home, especially his mother, was waiting to eat!

Murong Changfeng really did ask Gu Bailu for people.

Gu Bailu gave him some face. “You know they’ve been under me for a long time. They live and eat well here, and create valuable products with their craftsmanship. Now that they’re making things that can’t be bought outside, I can sell them for sky-high prices, right?”

Murong Changfeng nodded cooperatively. “Yes, yes, yes… Your Majesty, name your price.”

“It’s vulgar to talk about money. Money hurts relationships. However, there still needs to be reciprocation. I’ll give you some craftsmen, and you’ll give me a few people.”

Murong Changfeng immediately asked respectfully, “Who do you want?”

“The imperial court wants to establish a new department. You have a lot of disciples, so send some to the new department.”

Murong Changfeng said, “That’s absolutely not a problem.”

There was nothing wrong with sending someone to the imperial court. Murong Changfeng happily agreed.

Then, he took twenty to thirty craftsmen from Gu Bailu.

The next day, twenty to thirty disciples were sent to the imperial court.

Lady Murong was the one who had the clearest vision. She had known since getting the shark’s fin from Gu Bailu last year that without tradespeople, she wouldn’t be able to eat good food.

That was why she had decided in the first instance to get people from Gu Bailu.

Gu Bailu had sent the people over, but their contracts were still with her. She told the tradespeople, “If you can’t live with the Murong family, come back.”

Because of her words, the Murong family didn’t dare treat these tradespeople badly.

In this way, people were employed to weave clothes, plow the fields, and make shark’s fin.

When summer came, Lady Murong was able to eat Eight Treasures Porridge and enjoy the performances of the troupe she had hired.

When they harvested the rice in the summer, the fresh white rice in their warehouse made the other noble families green with envy.

It had to be pointed out that they were all eating the old rice which couldn’t be sold by the shops last year. It didn’t need to be said how terrible the taste was.

What was the point of strong spiritual power? What was the point of having money at home? They were living such miserable lives.

Lady Murong slapped her thigh. “Since you don’t have anyone to farm for you, why don’t you sell those fields to me? I’ll give you some food every year…”

It had to be said that in the end, Lady Murong was like Gu Bailu, and could see the whole picture.

She saw a business opportunity.

More than that, she saw the future path for the Murong family. With these fields, they could control the food of the other families. There was no need to worry that they would be usurped as the number one family.
