Gu Heng looked at the string of small islands and thought that they could be used as a "retreat" for the Gu family.
As a mature man, he understands his little granddaughter very well: Aqing is talking about "silver mines", maybe he wants to make those places the Gu family's territory.
Aqing understands the principle of the cunning rabbit’s three burrows better!
"So, there is really no comparison between people!"
Looking at his granddaughter who was getting more beautiful and smarter, Gu Heng once again thought of Gu Youyi on the other side.
Alas, they are both "ambitious" Gu's daughters, and the difference is really not even a small amount of difference.
Gu Qing thinks ahead in everything and relies on himself to plan step by step.
As for Gu Youyi, it seems that she also has some adventures, and she can always predict some things.
But she is not used to relying on them——
Otherwise, count on Yu Wenheng;
Except, I always try to get Gu to help!
No, Gu did provide some help to Gu Qing.
But did Gu Qing give "hope" to the Gu family first?
Refined rock salt, horseshoes, sugar, sea salt, etc., any one of them is enough to keep a family together.
As for Gu Qing, she handed it over to the family without reservation.
Does she have the entire Gu family in her heart?
Looking back at Gu Youyi, she seems to be more influenced by her mother, Xie.
She just cared about her own small family, instead of focusing on the larger family structure.
If there is no peace and prosperity, we can take care of everyone and our small family.
But things are different now. Dynasties are changing, the north and the south are separated, wars are constant, and heroes are rising together.
In such troubled times, if you can't get close to and unite with your clan members, let alone seek hegemony, it will be difficult for you to even protect yourself!
It is true that Gu Qing's behavior satisfied Gu Heng and other members of the Gu clan, and they were willing to support it with all their strength!
Because of this, Mrs. Gu will not make wedding clothes for others.
Gu Youyi, haha, since she has identified herself as Yuwen's family, she can be her bride with peace of mind from now on.
"Do you really need human legs?"
Gu Heng gathered his thoughts and turned his attention back to the conversation with Gu Qingcheng.
He knows whether his granddaughter is the most successful.
Now that she has spotted the string of small islands, she has already made a series of plans.
Aqing came to discuss with him, whether he wanted to discuss it or wanted to get support——
Hey, that would be great!
If Aqing didn't ask for help from her own family when something happened, instead of asking someone with a foreign surname to help her like Gu Youyi, Gu Heng would be disappointed and sad.
Because if she did that, it would show that she did not regard herself as a family member.
Furthermore, would it be a great thing to go mining in Fuso?
Ah Qing, why don't you find someone to help you instead of sharing the profits?
"Wrong! The matter of going overseas to mine is of great importance and requires reliable people to take charge!"
If possible, Gu Qing would like to go alone.
However, Lingnan cannot relax its legs either.
Alas, people hate less when they use it.
Time is not too urgent. If you wait another three to five years, the first batch of orphans she has trained will be available.
However, Gu Qingcheng couldn't wait any longer!
Those plans must be implemented as soon as possible.
And the Gu family itself was her foundation, so Gu Qingcheng wouldn't really feel uneasy with someone from the Gu family.
"Please no, please call uncle back!"
Gu Qingcheng looked at Gu Heng and asked tentatively.
The brother-in-law Gu Qingcheng refers to is Gu Heng's nephew and adopted son Gu Hong.
Gu Hongfu, the posthumous son of Gu Heng's concubine, lost his biological father when he was born, and his biological mother also remarried.
As the head of the Gu family, Gu Heng ordered people to bring Gu Hong and give him to his wife to raise.
Except that the family tree was not changed, Gu Hong's treatment was almost the same as that of Gu Heng's own children.
A few years ago, the Gu family fled north, and brother Gu Yi also took his brother Gu Hong with him.
In the eyes of people from Gu Heng's tribe, Gu Hong is not their closest relative.
But in the eyes of other heads of the Gu family and outsiders, Gu Hong is just an outsider who relies on others.
In fact, not to mention other people, some of the juniors in Gu Heng's group (such as Gu Youyi) did not regard Gu Hong as one of their own.
Gu Youyi attaches great importance to her small family, but if she can get the support of the Gu family, she will share some of the benefits with Gu Yi's eldest brother.
Since Gu Jifeng is his biological father, he will naturally get some "tips" from Gu Youyi.
Only Gu Hong and Gu Youyi seemed to have forgotten that uncle.
Gu Youyi: ...are not members of my own family, and in the previous life, Gu Hong was a dandy, and it was very difficult to find help from him!
Gu Qingcheng didn't think so.
In her opinion, Gu Hong, who was raised by Bao Qinheng, was not one of her own.
As for Gu Hong being inferior to Gu Yi and Gu Ji being more outstanding and more like a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink, have fun and fight bravely, Gu Qingcheng doesn't even care.
In this world, there is no perfect waste. Even if it is a top villain, it can still play a great role if used in the wrong place.
Gu Hong will be eighteen next year, and he is a bit rebellious at heart, which is just the right time for him to go and fight overseas!
"..."
Gu Heng looked at Gu Qingcheng steadily and saw that her eyes were bright and did not seem to be fake at all, so he knew whether she was sincere.
OK!
This is the magnanimity and magnanimity that the leader of the Gu family should have.
If it’s not your biological child, so what?
Just ask for the surname Gu, then we will be part of the same family.
As the head of the direct branch, if you can support and reuse the side branches, you already have the potential of a clan leader.
As expected of his cherished granddaughter, she really has a big picture.
"Okay! Then call Hong'er!"
Gu Heng nodded slowly and agreed to Gu Qingcheng's proposal.
Of course, if you want to go overseas, you definitely can’t have Gu Hong.
He is more of a "general", and Dongtou needs enough soldiers.
Gu Heng began to "sway" Jiankang again.
But that time, without Gu Heng saying too many words of persuasion, many Gu clan members rushed to sign up.
What a joke!
Any one of the Gu family's properties in Lingnan is a treasure trove.
Sugar and salt are both hugely profitable industries.
Champa rice is very popular and has been planted in Jiankang and other places.
It can be harvested twice a year, and its yield is 30% higher than that of ordinary rice varieties.
Just from food alone, Gu made a lot of money——
Ahem, in war, food is the only hard currency.
Whoever has grain in his legs is not a boss.
If you are not an ordinary grain merchant, you may be slaughtered as a fat sheep by the incumbent.
But, the Gu family is different.
Gu Heng did not deny the order, and Gu Yi did not deny the consort, but the huge Gu family was here.
Gu's in-laws and old friends were spread throughout the court and affected the entire capital.
The Gu family's fine seeds also further consolidated the relationship with in-laws and cronies.
Therefore, even if the head of the family is away, the Gu family is still a member of the family that cannot be messed with.
Outsiders all know that the Gu family is "rich", and the Gu family members are even more aware of the "dominance" of Gu Heng's ancestors and grandchildren in Lingnan.
Therefore, when they heard that Gu Qing was asking for help again, the Gu clan members rushed to join him!
How many miasmas are there in Lingnan?
cut!
Isn't it true that Sanniang has been promising since she was a child, and she has become even more capable in the past few years.
The exiled imperial doctor she hired with a lot of money developed a medicine to treat miasma.
How many barbarians are there in Lingnan?
Hey!
Then I don’t know. The female heads in Lingnan are all close friends of our Sanniang.
Lingnan——
Anyway, no matter how difficult it is, as long as Gu Qing and Gu Sanniang are here, everything will be fine!
Let’s go to Lingnan to make a fortune quickly, or help our people!
Gu Qing's "shaking people" that time was quite grand.
Not only did the Gu clan respond positively, but even some aristocratic families felt that Lingnan had great potential!
The Gu family has already eaten a big piece of fat, and other families also want to get a piece of Lingnan's pie.
Direct branches should not be dispatched easily, but every family has side branches.
Regarding the new emperor Chen Jing who usurped the throne, his Chen family was also very moved.
War is expensive. Can Chen Jing rely on force to overthrow the rebel generals of the previous dynasty?
After seizing the Xiao family, Chen Jing learned a lesson and did not dare to give up military power easily.
He still has 100,000 elite soldiers in his legs.
No, raising troops is too wasteful.
The cost of 100,000 elite soldiers almost depleted Chen Jing's external treasury.
"No! We must find other sources of income as soon as possible!"
Chen Jing wanted to embezzle the state treasury to support his own private army, but the court officials refused to do so.
The Northern Dynasty was watching with eager eyes, and there were always wars in the prefectures and counties along the river.
Chen Jing treasures his own direct lineage and will not send it out easily. Those who fight on the riverside are not the same as other generals.
The national treasury needs to pay that part of the military expenditure.
Chen Jing was covering his own external treasury and wanted to get his hands on the national treasury. However, his private soldiers had good food and drink and sufficient military pay but did not have to fight. Those who fought were very worried if they were hungry and could not receive military pay...
Gee, the relationship between Chen Jing and his courtiers is really tense.
And as the emperor, is Chen Jing really short of money?
"Lingnan is my Lingnan, how can we allow the Gu family to dominate!"
Chen Jing saw with his own eyes how prosperous Gu's sugar and salt business was, and his eyes were bloodshot with jealousy.
As soon as Ming Dynasty, major families moved southward one after another, and Chen Jing could no longer leave.
"Here comes King Xuanliang!"
Chen Jing thought about it several times and finally made a decision!
…
"Prince Liang? Chen Duan?"
Gu Qingcheng came from Lingnan, and in less than three months, he received a letter from Jiankang.
She took the letter and came to the study to discuss it with Gu Heng.
"Why, Chen Duan also wants to come to Lingnan?"
Gu Hengcuo was very satisfied with the "Lingnan wind" created by his own legs.
Although the Gu family intends to become king in Lingnan, Lingnan is too big.
Just a Gu family has nothing to eat!
The Gu family's great cause also requires the help of other families.
What can be more stable than an alliance of interests?
As for whether those families would compete with the Gu family after they came to Lingnan, Gu Heng and Gu Qingcheng were not worried.
First come first served!
The Gu family has already taken the lead. Whether it is a business or an industry, it has unparalleled advantages.
Not to mention the foreign families, even the local wealthy families have chosen to cooperate with the Gu family instead of resisting.
Gu Hengcuo's family, especially Fucuo Aqing, has absolute confidence.
"Well, Chen Jing is short of money, and Lingnan has long been declared a treasure land with 'gold everywhere'."
Gu Qingcheng was wrong in that situation and was not the least bit surprised.
The fact is, there are similar rumors about Jiankang, which are not her fault at all.
She needs allies, and even more so, Fattong's original alliance.
Her great cause has always been hidden, from the outside in...
