"Aqing, am I afraid of attracting a wolf into my house?"
Gu Heng leaned against Ping Jizai, looking particularly lazy.
Although his granddaughter was confident, Gu Heng couldn't help but asked.
"Wolf? Wolves are good. In this world, the beast that knows how to unite and cooperate best is a wolf!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled calmly.
Luring the wolf into the house?
Are you worried that other families will divide Lingnan and compete with the Gu family for territory?
None!
Because Gu Qingcheng had the biggest trump card, "Aweng, he has medicine!"
She is very much like Liming Zhu, the best friend of the original tribal leader.
As well as the Huang family, Chen family and other local wealthy families as allies.
Lingnan has not been fully developed and is still in a semi-barbaric state.
The miasma will not disappear completely unless there is a corresponding cure.
There are snakes, insects, rats, ants, malaria and other epidemic diseases. If a foreign family rashly enters, let alone make a fortune, they will be lucky if they are not wiped out.
And those trump cards are all in Gu Qingcheng's lap.
When those families come, they will cooperate with Gu Qingcheng obediently and become her help!
Furthermore, Gu Qingcheng’s goal has never been the small Lingnan, but the huge Tiandong!
A single tree cannot make a forest. If she wants to accomplish her great cause, she needs too many helpers!
Of course, those helpers did not include Chen.
Uh, okay, not necessarily—
"Chen Duan is Chen Jing's cousin and a strong general who leads the army!"
"He once made great contributions to Chen Jing's rebellion."
"This person has a perverse personality and is unruly. Even Chen Jing sometimes wants to give in."
"Although he was named Prince of Liang and a first-class prince by Chen Jing, there are still conflicts between this person and Chen Jing."
Gu Qingcheng is far away from Jiankang, but she still understands the wrong court.
In addition to some memories from previous lives, there are also contributions from the spies she sent to Jiankang.
If her caravans really go to Jiankang, can they just sell sugar and salt?
Since ancient times, caravans have been part-time intelligence officers.
The information they can obtain is often not the most confidential and fresh.
While Gu Qingcheng was developing industries, he also established intelligence channels.
Otherwise, there is Jiankang, there is also her "caravan" over there in the Northern Dynasty!
Gu Heng was not surprised that his granddaughter was "well-informed".
Just kidding, if an ambitious person can't even get information, he will only have "ambition".
What's the big deal?
The granddaughter relies on the Gu family, but is not completely dependent on her. With her own power, instead of being angry or blaming her, Gu Heng feels relieved.
"Well, if Chen Jing himself made his fortune through mutiny, he would naturally want the warriors in the east to imitate his example!"
"Chen Duan is the number one general under Chen Jing's command. Not only does he have military power, he also has the same surname as 'Chen'."
Therefore, if Chen Duan rebels, he cannot be regarded as a traitor and traitor. At most, it will not be an external struggle for the Chen royal family.
He doesn't even need to change dynasties to get half of the world from the leg of Tang Xin Wanfu's future nephew!
Chen Jing himself is not upright and must be afraid of his former confidants.
"Was Chen Duan driven out of the capital by Chen Jing?"
Gu Qingcheng thought about it and made a guess, but soon, before Gu Heng could say anything, she shook her head, "Not necessarily! It's also possible that Chen Duan will use his plan to make things smooth!"
In the capital, Chen Jing was wary of Chen Duan in every possible way.
Chen Jing is not the former Xiao emperor, he is a rebellious warlord.
The 100,000 elite soldiers he holds in his legs are not for display.
As for Chen Duan, is he Chen Jing's legionnaire? Although he also has soldiers, he only has 30,000 soldiers!
Thirty thousand people want to subvert a hundred thousand people. They are very "righteous" and Chen Duan has no chance of winning.
But what if we leave the capital and go to Lingnan, which is far away from Emperor Gao that day?
Recruiting troops and contacting other families, in a few years, Chen Duan might become Chen Jing!
Gu Qingcheng:...Haha, do I treat him like Gu Qing is a dead person?
Do you really think Lingnan is a paradise for careerists?
Can the Chen family live in a land without human beings?
"Well, I have an idea!"
Gu Heng had already given up, and all affairs in Lingnan were decided by his granddaughter.
He is just waiting to see his granddaughter dance for nine days!
…
The major families were gearing up, and Liang Wang Chen Duan also pointed his sword at Lingnan.
However, Gu Qingcheng did not act like she was facing a formidable enemy. She followed her plan step by step.
"Then it's a model of the treasure ship?"
Huang Yannian came to Gu's Yibao in Yuezhou again and met Gu Sanniang, who was in the limelight recently.
When they met again in Bu Nao, Huang Yannian ignored the pleasantries and was attracted by a model two feet long and one foot high.
Although he likes to show off and pretend to be from a wealthy family, he is not really an idiot.
On the contrary, as the eldest son of the Huang family, he received a good education since childhood, read poetry and books, and was proficient in the six arts.
When he grew up, in addition to continuing his studies, he also began to get involved in his own industry.
Huang Yannian understands Huang Yannian's fundamental business of shipping and its related industries.
Therefore, in terms of ships, nautical charts, etc., Huang Yannian can barely be regarded as a "professional person".
A layman’s guide!
At just one glance, Huang Yannian discovered the beauty of the sailboat model.
First, its size is huge.
"Nine masts and twelve sails! There are four levels in the east!"
The models are basically very original in proportion.
Therefore, a real treasure ship should not be enlarged in the same proportion.
Nine masts and twelve sails are on the east fourth floor. If you think about it, Huang Yannian's mind will appear like a giant in the sea.
Huang Yannian stretched out his right leg and gestured with his thumb and index finger, intending to deduce the actual size of the treasure ship through the size of the model.
"About forty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide!"
"Hiss~~~"
Huang Yannian kept gasping for air, "No way! We simply can't build such a big sea ship!"
The ship in his shipyard is also a big ship, but compared with the treasure ship represented by the model, it is quite small.
"Why not? Since he can make a model, he can also build a treasure ship of the same proportion!"
Gu Qingcheng's tone was not polite, but in his heart Huang Yannian was somewhat appreciative.
Although that person is a pretentious person who likes to imitate others, he also has some real talents and learning.
Not to mention anything else, just that he can guess the actual size of the treasure ship based on the model shows that his ability is not low!
Is that the truest human nature? It has shortcomings, but it also has advantages.
It is not just rubbish, nor is it truly perfect.
Therefore, Liming Zhu is still willing to insist on marrying the Huang family, and he must have seen the advantages of Huang Yannian.
"No! He doesn't believe it!"
Huang Yannian guessed the size of the treasure ship and found it increasingly unbelievable.
That's not possible!
With current shipbuilding technology, it is impossible to do it!
