The third child stared at Gu Mo, who was rubbing his hands, dumbfounded, "Father, have you kept track of that little money for so many years? You still want me to pay it back?"
Gu Mo nodded, "Yes, it's just a small amount of money, you can't afford it."
The third child looked bitter, thinking that he shouldn't come back. He didn't get the position of prince, and he still had to pay back the money!
"Father, I really can't afford it!"
Gu Mo's face suddenly darkened, "Third brother, your father has taught you since you were a child that you must be honest and repay money you borrow. Even if you are your father, you cannot default on the debt. Now you owe money."
Also, are you worthy of your father’s teachings?”
The third child cried out, "Father, my son makes a living by herding sheep in Xiyi. How much money can he have? Look at how thin my son is. Does he look like someone who can afford to pay back the money?"
"How many sheep do you herd in Xiyi?"
The third child rolled his eyes and said weakly, "Not many, just a few."
For fear that Gu Mo would urge him to pay back the money, he immediately said: "My son remembered that he didn't feed the sheep at home when he left. I was afraid that when I went back later, the sheep would starve to death. Father, please take care of yourself. Son, please take care of yourself first."
gone……"
His feet seemed to be greased and he ran very fast.
Finally, when I reached the door, I heard Gu Mo say quietly, "When you come back, Xiyi will probably know that your heart is still for the new country. Can you still let the sheep go?"
The third child paused and suddenly felt that he had done something stupid.
Gu Mo said again at this time, "It's just a few sheep, forget it. At the worst, you can just take a few lambs and raise them in Shangjing City."
"How can I forget it, Father? I want to go back. Those sheep have always been taken care of by my hands. I have feelings for them. Even if Xiyi is facing mountains of swords and seas of fire, I must go back!"
Gu Mo, "...hehe."
I believe you as a ghost!
The third child wanted to go back to Xiyi, and he quickly left for the capital that day.
When he was approaching Xiyi, he suddenly came back to his senses. No, he went to the capital to ask for the position of crown prince. Why did he come back in such a daze?
He immediately turned around and wanted to go back to the capital to talk things over with Gu Mo, but thinking of Gu Mo's stingy face, he stopped again and covered his pockets.
No, no, it’s not cost-effective to lose more than ten taels of silver just for the position of crown prince...
Forget it, forget it, he is quite good at herding sheep in Xiyi. As for the position of prince, whoever wants it can get it.
Gu Mo always felt that there was something wrong with Lao San's eagerness to run back to Xiyi, so he went to find a spy in Xiyi to check Lao San, only to find out that this unscrupulous son was not herding sheep in Xiyi, but that he had committed a crime in Xiyi.
The breeding farm raises hundreds of thousands of fat sheep, accounting for two-thirds of the total number of sheep raised in Xiyi.
In other words, he is now a big farmer! Xiyi's economy is supported by him. Even if Xiyi knew that he was the prince of the new country, they would not dare to do anything to him.
Gu Mo was simply amazed. He was not ambitious enough to be an undercover agent, so he became an undercover agent by the way because he studied the book "The King of Undercovers" and figured out the essence of breeding economics and scientific breeding from it.
And used it to the extreme.
Gu Mo, "..."
For the sake of my son’s breeding farm, it’s impossible not to beat Xiyi well this time!
So, after the Western Yi sent out a large number of troops, the New Kingdom fought, and the time from the beginning of the war to the end of the war was only three days.
The Western Yi were beaten to pieces, so they obediently signed the surrender agreement and became a tributary of the new country.
When Gu Mo left the plane, she was already a hundred years old. She was considered the longest-lived emperor in history. During her reign, she managed the new country very well. The treasury was full, and there were few wars with neighboring countries. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Basically, the wish that everyone had clothes to wear and that everyone had enough to eat was realized. The second half of her reign was known as the prosperous age of prosperity.
And when Gu Mo died, none of her sons could be distinguished, so no one could be regarded as the heir apparent.
But Gu Mo arranged them into positions that were suitable for them, made the best use of them, and allowed them to shine. At any rate, they also left a good name in the people of the world and in the history books of future generations.
It was also after Gu Mo's death that these sons, who had regarded the position of prince as their lifelong goal, suddenly realized that their father had used the position of prince to hang them all their lives. They had been hanged from youth to gray hair, but they were stunned that they could not
As the crown prince...
On the contrary, for the sake of the position of heir apparent, they had to examine themselves three times every day, and set strict demands on themselves as if they were saints. For fear of being criticized by others, they almost lived like saints, and in the end they forgot the kindness, kindness and truthfulness they showed.
It's just pretending...
So they have really been pretending for a lifetime, and they can't help but sigh that their biological father is so alive and will not die, and they are so tired of pretending...
But now that Gu Mo died suddenly, the bloody incident they had always longed for to fight for the throne after Gu Mo's death did not happen.
Because everyone seemed to suddenly feel that the throne was meaningless. They had been fighting for it before, and they didn't necessarily like it that much. It was just the damn desire to win that was at work.
So when the ministers discussed the issue of the next emperor, a group of people asked me and I asked you.
"Seventh brother, you are usually the bravest. In my opinion, you should sit on this throne."
"No, no, no one can be as brave as Ninth Brother. Ninth Brother is more suitable..."
"Fourth brother is usually the most kind-hearted and courteous, so it would be better for him to come..."
All the officials thought they were all pretending to refuse, but in the end they discovered that none of these princes really wanted to be emperor.
Baiguan, "..."
You have been fighting for your whole life, and now when it’s your turn to decide the winner, are you all cowed?
Did you guys compete with each other before?
The ministers were speechless, "Princes, there is no need to argue. I think we should decide by drawing lots."
"I'm old, I won't participate..."
"I won't participate either..."
The princes all went on strike, and the ministers were helpless. In the end, they could only focus on the children and grandchildren of the princes.
The princes have strong reproductive abilities, so they have many children and grandchildren. When you make a list and look at it, you will see a large number of names, which will dazzle everyone.
I finally picked out a few suitable candidates from this crowd of people, and let them become the emperor. They are not happy yet, saying that it is fun to be self-sufficient outside, who is willing to do it?
The hard work of the emperor?
Ministers, "..."
As royals, shouldn’t we all fight against each other for the sake of the throne? How can you be so devoid of any ambition? Are these normal royals?
