Chudu, Huangfu family.

This is an empty large courtyard. The reason why it is empty is because its owner does not like too many decorations. Apart from a few flowers, plants and trees that should be found, the courtyard is only its own size.

But this place has never been depressed because people come and go.

No matter who it is, from high-ranking officials to peddlers and pawns, they only have one purpose here, that is the study of the head of the Huangfu family.

As for why anyone can come and who can go to that study, no one knows. After all, this has been the case for decades and seems to have never changed, but looking at the head of Huangfu family’s silver hair, it seems to be changing again.

There was no outsider present at this time, and it was a rare time to thank the guest because the Huangfu family was discussing important matters. In addition to Lord Huangfu himself, there were two sons standing in front of him in the study, either Bozhong or Zhongxiao, so there were only two other people.

"Master, the eldest son is back." The housekeeper ran quickly to pass the message, as if he had obtained permission, so he had never reasoned slowly.

"Let him come right here."

After trotting all the way, Huangfu Bozhong also stood beside his two younger brothers, "Father."

"Have you gone to see His Majesty?"

"Yes, I just came back from the palace."

This seems to be asking questions clearly, because it is obvious that the three people in the house are waiting for Huangfu Bozhong to appear, but this is the rule of the Huangfu family. Don’t lose your composure at any time. Perhaps it is a bit too dogmatic, but it is also the foundation for their establishment.

"When will those people in Dangshan arrive?"

I didn't ask what Your Majesty had said or what Your Majesty heard. This is also Lord Huangfu's usual style. Even if he is his son on the other side, he cannot lose his duty as a ruler and his subject.

"According to Master Gu's plan, he should go day and night. The large army will arrive at the capital in the middle of the night. Master Gu is dealing with some things himself, but he will also come back tonight because he doesn't want to miss the morning court tomorrow and report to His Majesty as soon as possible."

"Well, this little guy has his own right. Do you know what he is doing?"

"On the surface, it means taking the second lady of the Tang family to revisit the old place. After all, they formed a relationship under the cliff of Dangshan, so it should not be far from there."

"Haha, so he went to meet the legendary commander of the Snow Tiger?"

"It must be."

After a slight pause, Lord Huangfu seemed to be thinking, but a warm smile still hangs on the corner of his mouth.

"How has your second brother been through these few days?"

"It should be no big problem with his younger brother and sister, but he himself is indeed a little worried. After all, Lord Gu's various methods are too shocking... But his son also warned him that there is no need to worry too much. Lord Gu is not as inhuman as a beast."

"Haha, you have a good impression of that little guy, but in fact, he has more terrifying places than the Fighter Beast. But for the father, I don't worry about your second brother's safety. As long as he doesn't leave his wife's side, Gu Yue won't really want to see his fiancée's sister being frightened... But it's better to calm down when he comes back, this kid still needs a lot of experience."

"Your Majesty has issued an order to grant him an official position when his second brother comes back and reward him..."

Can Huangfu Bozhong not know what His Majesty is thinking? But he didn't mind at all. He could devote all his efforts to His Majesty and Da Chu, so what's wrong with his younger brother?

"Your Majesty is really impatient...well, just let him practice. If you have the chance, give him a job that needs to do practical things, just don't enjoy your happiness."

"Yes, father."

After pausing for a moment, Lord Huangfu took a sip of tea, "Today I asked you three brothers to come for another thing. I believe you each received the news. Last night, your uncle Shangguan came to Yu's father to discuss the matter about Gu Yue's attempt to create a wine business covering various countries. I believe that His Majesty had already met him at this time, and this matter was mostly a foregone conclusion. What do you think?"

"This... father, son has never been involved in business, but His Majesty and Uncle Shangguan quickly agreed to the transaction share, and Uncle Shangguan directly suggested that His Majesty should take at least 40% of it. I was shocked and surprised to hear it. Later, Uncle Shangguan mentioned that Lord Gu actually didn't care much about money on weekdays, and his daily expenses were paid directly by Sister Lily of the Valley..."

These words made the two younger brothers beside him dizzy when they heard this, "I haven't passed the door yet! How can he live in the future?!"

"Haha, it's like his style..." Lord Huangfu seemed not surprised. "Only normal business should not be discussed like this, but Gu Yue invited you Uncle Shangguan to find His Majesty and had already expressed his attitude. His purpose was not as simple as doing business. You two would like to talk about it. What exactly did he want to do?"

Huangfu Shuli and Huangfu Jiyi, who were still shocked, quickly calmed down and answered their father's questions.

"Father, my son thought that Lord Gu has always been unexpected, but no matter what he did, he must have a clear purpose. He doesn't understand the business. However, Lord Gu is very unique in the field of academic research. His alchemist college is in a mess, but he only took a very short time to make all apprentices lively. It is a model worth learning from us. This also reflects his clever methods and clear purpose. So my son guessed that after all, everything is the same, and some people can understand all kinds of things, and Lord Gu is such a person."

What he said looked very rich, but in fact he had no meaning. Should he be said to be a person who was engaged in education? However, his understanding of Gu Yue was not wrong. He just wanted to ask his father what purpose he had, and he agreed that it was indeed a purpose. In fact, he didn't say anything...

"Father, my son often hears rumors about Lord Gu in the army, especially for his own guard, he is willing to take a chance to refine the third-grade marrow cleaning pill. This behavior is shocking. Although the final result seems to be not that turn... Ahem, in short, Lord Gu has many places worth learning from, but if you want to talk about his purpose this time, my son really can't see..."

Huangfu Jiyi is more real than his third brother and has the style of a soldier. He just said something and almost arranged his brother and father. Was it intentional? Or maybe this person is just dull enough.

"It's hard for you. Well, not to touch the business way, after all, it's a rule set for your father. You naturally have implemented it very seriously. However, this time, it seems to be doing business, but in fact, what Gu Yue wants is circulation between countries."

The term circulation is not unfamiliar to the people of Chu, because this is their long-cherished wish. After all, their country is the most blocked place.

No matter what kind of industry, the strength of the State of Chu itself is actually not good. If it weren't for its former background, the inscriptions were not worth mentioning, especially after the death of the palace inscription masters, in fact, the reason why there was such a position without a court alchemist or other was mainly because the superiors needed to enjoy it. They wanted to put inscriptions that could be ventilated, inscriptions that could be warm, inscriptions that could be illuminated, and inscriptions that could be appreciated... In short, the responsibility of these palace inscription masters is to make the palace warm in winter and cool in summer and spring all year round.

Such purpose has also led to the inscription masters not diligently studying practical masterpieces that can enhance combat power, but have studied how to make the blowing wind more refreshing, more convenient to adjust the size, and some people can bring a fragrance... After all, the purpose of the superiors has led to the benefit of such inscriptions being better. How many people study hard is not to reach the top in one step?

Unfortunately, this shortcut created the predicament of Chu State today.

Therefore, circulation has always been a heart-wrenching problem among the people of Chu, because they actually have nothing to do, but they are eager for the technology and achievements of other countries.

"Father, Uncle Shangguan seems to think this is very possible, and it is his long-cherished wish for many years."

"Isn't that true? Your uncle Shangguan has been running around for the people of Chu to use real good things for half his life. It's a pity that his reputation is too famous, and no one will really let go. Perhaps this is why he valued Gu Yue, the son-in-law, because the little guy showed not only various talents, but also his unconventional ideas and courage from the beginning. Will you consider how to reach a transaction agreement when you three face the commander of a snow tiger alone?"

The Huangfu brothers were convinced of this judgment, and only his father could see it so thoroughly. After all, he should be the one who knows Uncle Shangguan’s best, and Uncle Shangguan also knows his father himself, so he came to discuss with his father as soon as he got the news.

"To be honest, you Uncle Shangguan probably didn't sleep all night last night. After all, when you saw him, you looked proud and proud. Who told him to get such a son-in-law who deserves to be praised? The only thing that is not good enough is that this son-in-law is not loyal to Da Chu, but he can see clearly that as long as his daughter is still from Chu, this son-in-law will be."

Although Huangfu Bozhong never refuted His Majesty's suspicion of his father's opinion, he clearly understood that the two powerful people only had different angles. Although both of them needed to care about the overall situation, the essential difference was that His Majesty did not believe in human nature, but his father was different. Such a difference actually didn't matter whether it was right or wrong or good or bad, it was just that they were in different positions. However, this did not prevent these two from becoming the most solid barrier of the Chu State.
