Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him
Chapter 1180 Uninvited Guest
"Now that I've thought of this possibility, I'll contact our people now to take precautions." There was no more smile on Wen Xiaowu's face.
Upon hearing this, Chef Hua nodded and said, "This is the best. We are so lucky to have a new leader in our generation. It is always right to be cautious. Otherwise, if there is something wrong with the leader, even our death will be useless."
The next morning, after Mu Yingbao washed up and ate the breakfast brought in by Nanzhu, he remembered to remind Xue Wenyu to remember to buy the duck.
Unexpectedly, just after I finished my meal and put down my chopsticks, a servant came to report that some villagers were driving a flock of ducks towards this side.
Mu Yingbao wanted to go out and take a look, and Xue Wenyu did not object and accompanied her. Sure enough, they saw that Mu Yingbao had been stopped outside the camp with a wave of his hand.
"Fellow villagers, what are you doing?" Although he had a vague answer in his mind, Mu Yingbao still asked.
"Yesterday, an adult's men went to our village to buy ducks. The price was agreed upon, but then the incident with Han's wife happened. We came here to ask, do you still want the ducks?" the older one said cautiously.
"Yes, that saves us a lot of trouble." Mu Yingbao responded with a smile.
As soon as they saw the clothes and temperament of Mu Yingbao and the other person, the two villagers guessed that they were probably the first-rank Duke Dingguo and his wife.
When they heard that the deal from the previous night still stood and that the duck was still wanted, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
As for whether the price will change, they are not worried because of their prominent status.
Mu Yingbao ordered his men to collect the ducks and paid the money. The villagers who sent the ducks had an unexpected surprise. They drove dozens more ducks before they came.
The ducks came to try their luck, but unexpectedly, after the First-rank Lady found out, she waved her hand and told them all to stay.
"By the way, I want to ask, how come your village raises so many ducks?" When the villager who sold the ducks put the silver in his pocket and was about to leave, Mu Yingbao asked curiously.
"Madam, this is what happened. Originally, each family just raised a few ducks, laid some eggs and sold them at the market to earn some money to supplement their family income. Half a year ago, a businessman from the capital passed by here, and the village just happened to let him stay overnight.
When he was drunk in the evening and was in a good mood, he gave us an idea and asked us to raise more ducks. He would come to buy them when winter came and transport them to the capital to sell.
To be honest with you, ma'am, our area is quite suitable for raising ducks, as there are many streams, lakes and ponds.
There is no need to feed ducks when raising them. Just let them out every day and bring them back in the evening.
As a result, 40% of households raise a large number of ducks.
But the problem now is that the ducks have grown bigger and lay more eggs, but we can't sell so many of them. Eggs can be eaten as food, but no one is willing to eat ducks. They all want to sell them to make money to supplement their family income.
It's almost winter, and the businessman Xu hasn't come to collect the ducks.
Fortunately, you passed by here. My brother and I were lucky enough to sell the ducks. Otherwise, after winter, the lakes, streams and ponds would be frozen, and there would be no grass or wild vegetables. What would we feed the ducks with? We can't kill them all and eat them. Bite! "This time it was the young one who started
Hmm, so that's what happened. Mu Yingbao touched his chin and thought about it. He guessed that the reason why the passing merchant wanted to transport ducks to the capital was probably because he often bought a large number of swans and duck feathers, which made the merchant see a business opportunity?
However, this place is a little far from the capital. Transporting a large number of live ducks to the capital would be a bit costly, not to mention whether it would be very expensive.
Mu Yingbao thought that the reason why the businessman had not shown up until now, besides being delayed by something at home, there was another more reasonable reason. That was that the businessman made the promise when he was drunk, and promised the duck that he would buy it.
But after sobering up, he realized that the journey to the capital was too long and that transporting ducks from here to sell in the capital would be a cost issue.
No matter how good the price of ducks is in Beijing, the demand is still not outstripping the supply.
"You two, go back and tell other villagers who raise ducks not to worry about the sale of ducks. I will find a way to solve the duck problem in your village." Mu Yingbao said as she looked at her husband and shook her head speechlessly.
It's not a good idea to ask him what he means in front of outsiders, so let's wait until he leaves!
"Really? Really?" The two duck sellers couldn't believe it.
"No, it's not that we don't believe Madam, it's just that this happened so suddenly. We didn't expect such a good thing to happen." The older man suddenly noticed that the gentleman's face had darkened, realized the danger, and hurriedly explained.
Sure enough, I wasn't overthinking it. Look, after this explanation, this gentleman's expression has eased up!
"Aren't we leaving today?" Xue Wenyu was too lazy to pay attention to them. He put his arm around his wife's waist and walked back, reminding her gently.
It's not necessary to take care of this kind of thing. This daughter-in-law is really not afraid of worrying. She takes care of everything wherever she goes.

"This is an important matter related to people's livelihood. It can be done in half a day. By the way, ask someone to find Muramasa." Mu Yingbao knew that he was not in a hurry to leave. The reason why he said that was only one reason: he didn't want to get involved.
We have already arranged for people to go to the border to make arrangements. Besides, if we go there too early, we can only watch what is happening there.
If Xixiang doesn't take the initiative to ask for help, we can't take the initiative to do anything.
Otherwise, it would be a thankless task, especially since the relationship with Xi Xiang is so special.
Even if you help them with good intentions, they may not appreciate it and may even suspect that you have ulterior motives.
As for the ducks in this village, this is the weak country of this country. Trying to make them rich is also the weak country that Mu Yingbao feels obliged to do.
Well, Brother Hui’s people.

"What, you object?" Mu Yingbao asked with a long tone and tilted his head.
"No objection, no objection. Yingbao, you can do whatever you want. As long as you think you should do it and you are happy, it's fine. I'm just afraid that you will be tired." Xue Wenyu quickly expressed his opinion.
He then waved to an attendant and ordered him to go to the yamen to fetch Muramasa.
The government office was in the county, about half an hour's journey away. Mu Yingbao had asked about it in the morning, so he went to Chef Hua's place without any hurry.
Looking at his men busy customizing simple duck cages, Xue Wenyu didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. Each one was so enthusiastic, doing such chores, and no one was unhappy at all.
How could they be unhappy? How could they not be active? These ducks will be made into delicious dishes and everyone will have a share.
Xue Wenyu thought that, let alone taking hundreds of ducks on the road, they would be equally happy even if they caught up with a group of cattle and sheep.
Really, Xue Wenyu's men were all brave men who had followed him to fight on the battlefields several times. Now, every one of them has become a complete foodie!
"Master?" The follower who was nailing the duck cage looked up and saw his master looking at him with complicated eyes. He felt a little uneasy. Did he dislike their slowness? Or that the duck cage they made was too crude?
Xue Wenyu said nothing, and waved his hand to signal them to continue. What are you talking about? Are you criticizing them bitterly for becoming foodies? You are the same.
If he really said that to them, I'm afraid these guys wouldn't dare to refute on the surface, but in their hearts they all despised him as their master who was also a foodie. Xue Wenyu didn't want to bring shame upon himself.
If you can't convince others with words or things, it's better not to say or do them!
Mu Yingbao gave Chef Hua some instructions, such as preparing some condiments to be used later.
In less than an hour, Mu Yingbao heard the sound of hurried horse hooves outside the camp.
Nearby, the sixty-year-old villager's bones were almost broken by the horse. If he had not been helped up by Xue Wenyu's men who were quick to help him dismount, he would have fallen down.
"Is the old man okay?" Mu Yingbao felt very guilty and blamed himself for being too careless and not explaining clearly.
"Madam, the old man is fine." The old village man was trying hard to stand firm and responded quickly.
"Your subordinate Duan Jiuming greets the Marquis and Madam." A man in an official robe, also like Wolf Fox, straightened his official hat and stepped forward to greet them respectfully.
Xue Wenyu frowned, and Mu Yingbao was also puzzled. Along the way, he had been telling his followers not to

How did this guy follow me here? What is he doing here?
Xue Yutao's matter? Or are you here to flatter me...
