Whether Gu Youyi is reborn and whether she can make a career in the Northern Dynasties is nothing to Gu Qingcheng.
She no longer cares about all the things in her past life.
Gu Qingcheng has already determined his goal in this life.
She continued to run Lingnan step by step according to her own plan.
Luozhou has been captured by the Gu family, not by force, but by real profits.
With only the profit from sea salt, the governor of Luozhou became the Gu family's strongest ally.
Speaking of which, these days, being sent to a barbaric place like Lingnan to serve as governor is almost tantamount to exile.
The governor of Luozhou was not from an aristocratic family, he was just a member of a poor family.
A poor family does not mean that they are really poor, but that they were once prominent, but in recent generations they have not produced high-ranking officials such as San Gong and Jiu Qing. This is why they become so-called "poor families".
The governor of Luozhou was not an ordinary person. He also had a collection of books and a farm at home.
However, he was not a son of an aristocratic family after all. He became a victim of official strife and was sent to Naju.
After arriving in Luozhou, the governor was very depressed - he had been exiled, what hope did he have for his official career?
Even if you want to make money, ahem, Luozhou, a remote and barren place like this, is full of gangsters, and you can't even collect taxes.
Even if you want to be greedy, you can’t be greedy!
Just when the governor of Luozhou was wandering around in confusion, Gu family came.
Gu Heng and Gu Youan, the former Xianggong Gu, were of noble birth and held a high position.
Although he was persecuted by Chen Jing, he had no choice but to come to Lingnan.
However, he is not an ordinary exiled criminal, he is just the leader of the Gu family who came to avoid trouble.
If you don't look at anything else, but just look at the long line of the Gu family, you will know that the Gu family is still the Gu family.
Among such a group of people, there were only two masters, grandfather and grandson, but they built one of Luozhou's top forts in the shortest time, and quickly gathered thousands of people.
In addition, people from Jiankang and even the Northern Dynasties came to Lingnan in a steady stream.
"Ms. Gu has great ambitions!"
Although the governor of Luozhou came from a slightly poorer background than the sons of the aristocratic family, he also grew up in a prosperous place with fine clothes and fine food.
He has the minimum IQ and necessary knowledge.
In addition, after many years of ups and downs in officialdom, he also has the necessary political acumen.
The appearance of a rich and powerful careerist like Gu on his own territory is definitely an opportunity for him!
Even if you can't guarantee that you will be successful in the future, you can still ensure your current interests - money!
The governor of Luozhou all has shares in Gu's Salt Farm, not many, just one share.
However, relying on the dividend of one share, the governor of Luozhou can receive an income of more than 100,000 yuan every year.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars!
It was enough for him to break into the camp and transfer himself back to the capital.
This is just one year's income.
The governor of Luozhou has been cooperating with Gu for four years, and the warehouse is full of copper coins.
There are boxes after boxes of all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry.
The governor of Luozhou has seen money, and he is not a short-sighted person.
But, alas, Mrs. Gu gave too much.
He could only continue to pretend to be deaf and mute and allow the Gu family to expand crazily in Luozhou.
The Gu family was indeed powerful. Not only did they reclaim wasteland under the mountains and recruit soldiers and horses, but even the "savages" in the mountains were tamed by the Gu family.
I heard that the little girl of the Gu family is "sworn sworn brother" to the headwoman of the Li tribe.
Tsk tsk, how come a good noble lady from a well-established family has learned to degenerate?
He is willing to be humble and mix with uncivilized barbarians, and he is not afraid of tarnishing the Gu family's reputation.
Mr. You'an is good at everything, but he is too doting on his children.
Even if the sky is high in Lingnan and the emperor is far away, we should not abandon the rules of the family.
The governor of Luozhou, while counting his money, secretly despised the Gu family's ancestors and grandchildren.
However, it doesn't matter, as long as you give money and your own interests are not damaged, Gu can do whatever she wants!
With the connivance of the Luozhou governor who was almost "dereliction of duty", Gu Qingcheng obtained the entire Luozhou from the bottom up.
“Next is Yuezhou!”
Gu Qingcheng looked at the map and began to make the next plan.
Luozhou and Yuezhou are adjacent to each other, and the mountains and forests are connected together.
For example, the Li tribe, their village is located between Yuezhou and Luozhou.
The mountains and forests purchased by Gu Qingcheng through the government were the territory of the Li tribe, and it was difficult to tell whether they belonged to Luozhou or Yuezhou.
Gu Qingcheng was not short of money. She had already planned it, so she simply sent money to both sides of the government.
Luozhou has been captured, and the governor of Yuezhou has been moved by the "rich" life of his colleagues next door.
After receiving Gu Qingcheng's invitation, he was eagerly awaiting it.
The negotiation between Gu Qingcheng and the governor of Yuezhou went very smoothly, and the scale of Gu's salt farm expanded again.
Gu Qingcheng gave a share of the salt farm in Yuezhou to the governor of Yuezhou.
Well, Gu Qingcheng knew the true meaning of giving gifts. The salt field had just begun, and she ordered someone to send an oxcart of copper coins to the governor of Yuezhou.
Yuezhou Governor:...Too arrogant!
My eyes were almost blinded by the golden copper coins.
The governor of Yuezhou did not struggle at all and fell directly to Gu.
Of course, whether it was the governor of Luozhou or the governor of Yuezhou, they had other thoughts when they saw the wealth that the Gu family gained in Yuezhou.
For example, "taking by force"!
However, the two governors were not completely blinded by money——
The Gu family is rich, and the special thing about the Gu family is that they have soldiers!
Gu's Wu Bao tribe has thousands of people.
There are also the rangers who continue to come from all over the country to seek refuge, as well as military households who have been exiled to Lingnan and exiled to the army.
Even the military camps in Luo, Yue and other prefectures and counties seemed to have been infiltrated by the Gu family.
The two governors made a bet that as long as they dared to attack the Gu family, as soon as they gathered their troops, the Gu family would attack with thunder.
By that time, the property will be out of reach, and you and your family may have to move to another place.
Either get rich with the Gu family, or die and lose your household registration. The two governors would still answer such a multiple-choice question with a clear answer.
Therefore, even if the Gu family made a fortune in their own territory, the two governors would not dare to take action.
Forget it, Gu ate meat, but he also gave himself a bowl of soup. As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy, oh no, to be content!
The governor of Yuezhou immediately surrendered without any ambiguity.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I just like to deal with smart people.
Gu's Wubao in Yuezhou quickly entered the construction stage.
Jiankang, Northern Dynasty, etc. quietly sent a large number of manpower.
In troubled times, the north and the south are constantly fighting, and the people are constantly experiencing military disasters, natural disasters, etc.
This resulted in a large number of refugees and refugees.
What Gu Qingcheng lacks most is manpower.
Therefore, both the tribesmen from the Southern Dynasties and the parents from the Northern Dynasties continuously sent "immigrants" to Gu Qingcheng.
Gu's Wu Fort in Yuezhou was quickly built. The huge city was towering and stronger than the capital city of Yuezhou.
Yuezhou Governor: ...It doesn’t matter, as long as you give me money!
Moreover, to put it bluntly, with Gu Clan Wu Bao in charge of Yuezhou, the public security situation is actually better than before!
The Gu family is providing both money and people, and he can also benefit from it, so why not do it?
The governor of Yuezhou was "rarely confused", but the local wealthy families in Yuezhou gave up.
"The Huang family and the Chen family are both famous families in Yuezhou!"
The speaker was A Li. She was the earliest guest girl around Gu Qingcheng. After several years of training, she had grown into Gu Qingcheng's assistant.
She is three years older than Gu Qingcheng and is already sixteen this year.
Unlike Ah Man, who is full of brute strength, Ah Li is more like a "smart star".
Of course, her IQ is far inferior to Gu Qingcheng, but for an "assistant", Ali is still very competent.
A Li was one of the supervisors of Gu's Wubao family in Yuezhou.
Of course, the apparent leader is a member of the Gu family and is responsible for external entertainment.
And the "shadow" in the dark is A Li and other female soldiers.
"Huang and Chen?"
Gu Qingcheng looked at the information in his hand while listening to Ali's reply.
"Yes! Decades ago, during the war, the Huang and Chen families moved from the interior and took root in Yuezhou."
The He clan migrated and continued to live together in groups after arriving in a foreign land.
The more people there are, the greater the power.
Moreover, the two families were already wealthy and soon became prominent families in Yuezhou.
They took advantage of the imperial court's neglect of Lingnan and took the opportunity to encircle the territory and occupy the best position.
Although Gu Qingcheng's arrival did not directly encroach on their interests, he still made the two major families jealous by relying on Haiyan's huge profits.
The Huang and Chen families also have salt farms.
However, they use the traditional method of boiling salt.
It consumes manpower, wood, and especially iron pots!
The cost is high, and the price of salt sold is also higher.
But Gu Qingcheng was like a troublemaker in the industry. Gu's Salt Farm directly drove down the price of sea salt.
In this way, the interests of the Huang and Chen families were harmed.
"What exactly does Gu want to do?"
"Even if they are celebrities in Wu County, they cannot act recklessly."
"Hmph! What Wu County Gu family! This is Yuezhou, not Wu County!"
"Yes! A powerful dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, and besides, our two families are not from a humble family!"
They are also an aristocratic family!
Ahem, even though it is self-proclaimed.
But in Yuezhou, the Huang and Chen families were extremely powerful.
They, they also want to try to compete with the Gu family.
"Brother Huang, I heard that the future bride of the house has a handkerchief with the Gu girl?"
The two principals, Huang and Chen, got together to discuss countermeasures.
Someone suddenly thought of something and asked the head of the Huang family.
The eldest son of the head of the Huang family is named Huang Yannian, and he is engaged to Liming Zhu, the leader of the Li tribe.
In the past, some people thought that Liming Zhu was a barbarian woman, vulgar and unworthy of publicity.
However, with the rise of the Gu family, the Li tribe also prospered.
Li Bu frantically built new sugar cane plantations and made a lot of money from sugar production alone.
Liming Zhu is not only a cottage leader, but also has an industry that can lay golden eggs. The Huang family no longer rejects this marriage.
Even other families are no longer sarcastic, but rather envious of the Huang family for their sharp eyesight and knowing how to place bets in advance.
When the head of the Huang family heard someone mention his unmarried daughter-in-law, his eyes were full of pride, "That's right! The sugar cane plantation in Libu is in cooperation with the Gu family."
And Li Bu will have such development, thanks to Gu's support.
Thinking that the principals of both parties are young girls, everyone will first consciously assume that they have a deep friendship.
