Chapter 26 Fighting for gold at the end of the day, taking over Linjiang City
Langzhou City.
The scorching heat of summer passed quickly, and there was a coolness in the breeze.
Autumn is getting closer and closer.
In the past few days, Gu Lan was really studying hard and didn't go anywhere.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t have time.
Ever since the news of the victory at Yumen Pass spread in the city, the people were very happy, but Gu Lan found that the lady seemed to be even happier than ordinary people!
The number of requests is increasing...
The noble and graceful beauty queen was not shy when alone with Gu Lan... Of course, no third party knew about this.
In a life of fighting every day, even though Gu Lan was at a high level, fighting day and night, it was inevitable that his back would be sore and his legs would be weak.
but.
It is also beneficial to sit in the study and study hard.
He silently practiced the qi-watching technique given by the old Taoist priest to a small degree, and now he can calculate the luck and fate of practitioners in certain innate realms.
For example.
On a whim, Gu Lan glanced at Lao Yangtou, who was chatting with someone outside the door.
[Luck: white]
[Fate: Lonely in the first half of life, tender in the second half of life. Fortunately, I meet a good master and enjoy my old age happily]
[Summary: mediocre]
Take another look at yourself.
[Luck: cyan]
[Fate: I will live a mediocre life, but will be blessed with good luck and cultivation, and my future is still unknown]
[Summary: Change your destiny against the will of heaven]
After using it skillfully, Gu Lan was very excited.
It's not because System Dad helped me change my life.
Instead, after having this immortal qi-gaining operation, you can use it when you go out and meet people.
First look at the other person's fate before deciding whether to get close to him or not.
Invisibly, you can avoid friction with the "sons of luck" and "daughters of luck"!
It can be said to be a magical skill of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!
"Well... give priority to cultivating your true meaning on this, and then wait until you reach great success!"
Gu Lan secretly thought that he valued this unique skill very much.
His current cultivation level is as high as 80,000 years!
But it still stops at the holy realm!
If you want to make a breakthrough and reach the realm not mentioned in this eunuch article in advance, you can only place your hope on the innate luck that determines your fate!
...
[You read the Four Books and Five Classics for three days, and your cultivation level is 100 years, and the true meaning of "Qi Wangshu" is 80 years]
[You wrote "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", the true meaning of medical ethics 666]
[You tell the story "The Golden Vase" at night, have 1 fairy body and spiritual root, and gain the love of your wife 7 times]
【......】
Gu Lan added some peace of mind and seemed to be working hard.
Mu Yuyan felt a little distressed when she saw him studying hard every day. That night, she took a small medicine pot and walked to the kitchen, intending to make him a bowl of medicine porridge to replenish his body.
Liu Yexi happened to come back, said hello to the old Yangtou who was sitting under the old poplar tree enjoying the cool air, and then slipped into the kitchen.
"Your Majesty, Xuantiansi has deployed manpower to keep an eye on King Muyun. No family will have the same bad taste as him within three years."
Mu Yuyan didn't take it to heart, fanned the stove with a small fan, and gave a faint hum.
The so-called great support of private businessmen could not be destroyed by her thoughts. In her eyes, these trivial matters were not even as important as a hair of Gu Lang.
"Xiao Xi, help me add fuel to the fire."
Mu Yuyan said softly, she touched her simple apron with her little hand, opened the lid of the medicine pot not very skillfully, and squinted her phoenix eyes to see if the porridge was cooked.
A bit of fireworks is added to the beautiful face, which makes her look even more agile.
Liu Yexi was stunned for a second, then hurriedly responded and helped the empress make porridge.
"Your Majesty, there is actually one more thing..."
"After the secret guards left, the Liu family in Linjiang City seemed to have been robbed by bandits of unknown origin. The entire house was empty and all the family property was gone."
"Because the Liu family usually raids the people of Linjiang City, and now all the people in charge of Linjiang City have been purged. The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Households still don't know how to rearrange their arrangements, so I would like to ask for instructions..."
Linjiang City, a land of plenty, has always been a prosperous area in Jingguo. The Liu family is so fat that it is not surprising that a few bandits from the enemy family want to take advantage of it.
It's just that this redeployment of industries to replace the previous Liu family made it more difficult for the court.
"Haha, the Ministry of Finance would not report this kind of thing before, but this time they are afraid?" Mu Yuyan frowned slightly and shook her head slightly.
According to the past, those officials would definitely grab this piece of land and set up their own industries in the rich land to make money.
Don’t forget, Cai Yu’s account book was still in the hands of the empress!
That is the knife hanging above the heads of the princes!
In addition, this time thunderous means were used to kill the wealthy businessman Liu Wentian.
The ministers were all weighing their own weight, fearing that one day they would reach a point that would be intolerable to the empress, and they would cross off a name from the ledger, which would lead to the disaster of annihilation.
"That's all, why bother letting these sneaky and sneaky people disturb your mood."
Mu Yuyan sighed, her beautiful eyes twinkling, and she pondered slightly.
Liu Yexi waited quietly.
However, she knew that it was not easy to do this beautifully.
As long as you are an official, you must be greedy.
The best your Majesty can do is find a businessman with a clean family background, but in a few years, he will be driven by the desire for profit and may be like the Liu family before...
It's a dilemma.
"Xiao Xi, tell the people in the Household Department not to worry about the layout of Linjiang City. We will take over the place ourselves."
Unexpectedly, Mu Yuyan suddenly raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
As the saying goes, inspiration often comes from daily thinking and listening.
She just had an inspiration.
The novel books that I often read in the past few days came to my mind. The "water wheel", "mulberry fish pond" and "quyuan plow" in it...
Can’t all these ingenious inventions be used in Linjiang City!?
Liu Yexi was a little confused at first: "Your Majesty, what does 'let's go' mean?"
Mu Yuyan glanced at her and explained in a proud tone:
"Our Gu family is a businessman anyway. Without the intervention of the imperial court, wouldn't it be good to send some people to take over Linjiang City?"
It turned out that His Majesty was already speaking from the perspective of Mrs. Gu... Liu Yexi was stunned for three seconds before she reacted!
Recently, she discovered that the empress was becoming more and more obsessed with the world of mortals. To be precise, she was becoming more and more obsessed with Gu Lan...
In the past, the empress cared most about the court, but now she puts herself in the Gu family's shoes even more... Is this a good thing?
Liu Yexi was confused.
At this time.
Mu Yuyan took out a stack of neat drawings from her arms. These were drawn specially for her by Gu Lan, so naturally she kept them close to her body.
"These are Gu Lang's ideas. You can make a copy and give it to the Ministry of Industry and let them work on it day and night, and then transport it to Linjiang City."
"Gu Lang, I will go and discuss with him about doing business in Linjiang City."
After Mu Yuyan finished explaining, seeing that the porridge was almost done, she opened the lid of the pot and sprinkled a large handful of wolfberry...
Your Majesty, you want the young master to recuperate. I am embarrassed to point it out... Liu Yexi pretended not to notice and continued to look down at the drawings.
But when she opened it and glanced at it.
A pair of almond eyes immediately widened!
"Waterwheel...a tool that allows people to save manpower and automatically irrigates?!"
"How can this be..."
"If you raise three kinds of creatures together, can you still harvest them together? The benefits will still be several times what they were before?"
"This... Your Majesty, my subordinates have also been to the Ministry of Works. How come I have never heard of this..."
I watched it for a full quarter of an hour.
These inventions have seriously exceeded the scope of cognition, so Liu Yexi is half-convinced!
but.
She felt that even if she gave these drawings to the imperial craftsmen in the Ministry of Engineering who boasted of their superb skills, their pupils would be shattered!
The product of wisdom that has never been seen before!
Gu Lan's explanation written above is extremely detailed and seems very reliable.
It just makes people watching it feel ashamed that I'm so stupid!
"Go and copy it. You will understand naturally if you look at it more."
Mu Yuyan smiled softly.
Seeing the maid's confused look, she smiled secretly in her heart, and felt a sense of pity for sharing the same fate.
At that time, I was probably as ignorant as Xiao Xi, right?
My husband didn't dislike it at all...
"Young master is so talented that I can't see it. I'd better copy it!" Liu Yexi marveled and gave up completely.
"The porridge is ready, I'll go and give it to Gu Lang first."
Mu Yuyan had a rosy face and smoothed her hair. She took a sip of the porridge to taste the heat for Gu Lan. After nodding with satisfaction, she picked up the porridge bowl and walked out of the kitchen.
"Xiao Xi, remember to complete this matter as soon as possible. Don't let this distract Gu Lang from Qiu Wei's exam."
"Don't forget, we are also going to Tianji Mountain in the autumn days."
"..."
Chapter completed!
