Long Wind Crossing - Chapter 118

    When Gu Jiusi returned home, Liu Yuru was counting the things at home. Seeing this, Gu Jiusi couldn’t help but be a little curious: “What are you doing?”

    “Elder Lu agreed to give me money,” Liu Yuru smiled, then continued, “And my uncle and some wealthy businessmen in the city, I have enough money now, it’s time to do something You came at the right time, and I was just about to tell you that I plan to travel far.”

    “Going farther?”

    Gu Jiusi frowned, but he immediately realized what Liu Yuru was going to do, and said, “Are you going to buy a boat?”

    “I’m not good at buying boats,” Liu Yuru stepped forward, took off the official robe from his hand, followed behind him, and explained in detail, “I’ll ask my parents-in-law to go. After doing this, my father-in-law has bought several boats before, and he has more experience than me.”

    “What are you doing?”

    Gu Jiusi did not understand, Liu Yuru handed him tea and said with a smile, “Go to build a warehouse.”

    Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, then remembered that establishing a warehouse in a reasonable place to facilitate the distribution and transshipment of goods is the most critical part of Liu Yuru’s planning system.

    Gu Jiusi put the eleven points she set in her mind, and immediately reacted, and said happily: “Okay, just happened to be with me.”

      “

    “You repair the Yellow River?” Liu Yuru said in surprise, “Isn’t this Luo Zishang’s job?”

    “Your Majesty’s idea.” Gu Jiusi smiled helplessly. He explained Fan Xuan’s calculation to Liu Yuru. Liu Yuru couldn’t help but be a little worried, Gu Jiusi glanced at her, “You frown, What are you worried about?”

      unwilling.”

    “He and we are also mortal enemies,” Gu Jiusi didn’t care, “Am I still afraid that he won’t get revenge? I’m not worried about Luo Zishang.”

    Gu Jiu thought about it and walked to the dining room with Liu Yuru.

    “Then what are you worried about?”

    Liu Yuru was a little curious, Gu Jiusi sighed: “I’m worried, His Majesty’s actions are too aggressive.”

    “I rose too fast, and His Majesty was too anxious to cultivate my followers. He first forced me to the position of the minister, and then forced Lu Lao to let go and became my backing. Leave the matter of the Yellow River to me, if I guess correctly, I will most likely be the chief examiner in the autumn exam.”

    The first autumn festival in Daxia, if Gu Jiusi is the examiner, then he will harvest his first batch of students.

    “In this way, His Majesty’s actions are indeed too anxious.”

    Liu Yuru was pointed out by Gu Jiusi, and she became worried: “What is your majesty’s plan?”

    “I’m worried because Your Majesty’s time is running out.”

    Gu Jiusi sighed and continued: “Actually, His Majesty’s health is not good, I have already known about this since I came to the East. Now that he supports me like this, I am afraid that his body is stronger than all of us imagined. Even worse. The prince is not reliable. His Majesty is now afraid that he wants to create a team for him. After the prince ascends the throne, this team will continue to run Daxia.”

    Gu Jiusi said and stopped in the yard.

    In the yard, the butterfly landed on the summer flowers that had just bloomed, Gu Jiusi looked at the summer flowers and said slowly: “Lu Yong is too greedy, and is a staunch abolitionist, so His Majesty put He pulled him down, and now he is helping me up, just hoping that I can take over Lu Yong’s position. Your Majesty has now sorted out the Queen Mother’s party, cleaned up the government and the opposition, left Lord Zhou in the military force, left the left minister Zhang Yu to coordinate the internal affairs, and I have the money. People’s livelihood has Cao Wenchang and Liao Yanli. With such a pattern, as long as the prince does not mess around, Daxia continues to develop steadily and steadily, and if we go south in the future, there is hope for unity.”

    “Your Majesty is so kind to you now, it is considered a kindness.”

    Gu Jiusi did not speak, after a long time, he sighed lightly, pulled Liu Yuru into his arms, and raised his voice: “Forget it, forget it, let’s go to dinner. Your Majesty Order me to set off the day after tomorrow, just to be able to spend a Qixi Festival.”

    Hearing this, Liu Yuru pursed her lips and smiled: “When is the Qixi Festival.”

    Speaking, she raised her hand and gently poked Gu Jiusi’s forehead: “Not serious.”

    “After the imperial court, there must be a personal life.” Gu Jiusi eloquently said, “A country has a country, a country has a family, and the people can’t forget their daughter-in-law.”

    Liu Yuru couldn’t help laughing at his crooked reasoning.

    The two held hands and entered the dining room. Shen Ming was already waiting in the dining room. When he saw Gu Jiusi entering the room, he happily said, “Brother Jiu, come, hurry up and have a good meal these two days. Don, we’ll be on our way soon.”

    “What nonsense.”

    When Su Wan heard this, she couldn’t help but say, “What’s not on the road.”

    “I’m sorry,” Shen Ming heard this, he quickly slapped himself, and said with Su Wan, “Look at my mouth, what nonsense is talking about. It’s a departure, we’ll start soon I’m going to repair the Yellow River.”

    “Repair the Yellow River?” Jiang Rou said in surprise, looking at Gu Jiusi, “Really?”

    Gu Jiusi smiled, sat beside Jiang Rou, nodded and said, “Seriously, I will leave the day after tomorrow, with Yuru.”

    “Repairing the Yellow River is not a trivial matter,” Gu Langhua coughed lightly and instructed, “Don’t jump too far, be calm.”

    Just as he was talking, Jiang He turned in. He took a handkerchief in his hand, which was obviously given by the girl, glanced at the crowd, and took a seat with a smile: “Why, are you talking about Xiao Jiu? Thinking about repairing the Yellow River?”

    “You know that too?” Jiang Rou raised her eyes to look at Jiang He, who tucked the handkerchief into his arms and shrugged, “Your Majesty’s imperial decree, it’s hard not to know.”

    “Is this a good thing?” Jiang Rou asked Jiang He a little hesitantly, Jiang He thought for a while, then lowered her head and began to pick up vegetables, casually said, “It is a good thing if it is done, but it is not a good thing if it is not done well. Son.”

    “That’s a good thing.”

    Liu Yuru smiled and said, “How can something impossible be done with Langjun’s ability?”

    While the Gu family was happily eating, Luo Zishang stood in his study and looked at the landscape in the study.

    There are many discussions behind the counselors.

    “With so much money, to build this Yellow River, isn’t it just to make the master more famous? Now the money is given by the master, and the drawings are drawn by the master. He Gu Jiusi suddenly came out to get a piece of the pie. , What’s the matter?! Fan Xuan is deceiving people too much!” One of the counsellors spoke angrily, and the person beside him nodded, as if in agreement.

    “It’s not too bad,” another advisor said slowly, “Gu Jiusi is in charge, but isn’t it the master’s business how to repair it? As long as the Yellow River is repaired by our master , that’s enough.”

    “Ten million to do such a thing,” said the first counselor, “isn’t the price too high?”

     “But in the future, Yangzhou will have convenient transportation, the cost of goods will drop, and after the commerce and trade are developed, the tax will naturally increase. Mr. Zhang, take a long-term view.”

    “But…”

    “Okay.”

    Luo Zishang was finally impatient, he turned around and said indifferently, “Stop arguing.”

    Everyone stopped arguing, turned around, and stood respectfully in front of Luo Zishang.

    Luo Zishang returned to the desk, fiddled with the jade ball in his hand, and said indifferently: “You are all right, now let me repair the Yellow River, it is not a loss. They The prince sees me in this way. I’m the prince’s person. To oppress me is to slap the prince in the face. Every time Fan Xuan does this, he pushes Fan Yu towards me. Jade,” Luo Zishang’s voice was calm, “ten million will always be earned back. And the Yellow River has been repaired, it is also an accumulation of virtue. Don’t be so angry.”

    When these words came out, no one dared to speak. Luo Zishang dexterously turned the jade ball with his fingers, and continued: “But Mr. Zhang is right, 10 million, I not only want to not lose money, but I also want to make more money, Gu Jiusi, it’s too annoying. already.”

    “Master mean?”

    Mr. Zhang was a little uneasy, and asked Luo Zishang what he meant, Luo Zishang looked up at everyone standing there, smiled, but raised his hand to support his head, and said lightly: ” Wait a minute.”

    Luo Zishang didn’t open his eyes, he closed his eyes and said, “Let’s talk.”

    “Tomorrow Gu Jiusi will be the officiant at the Yueshen Festival. There will be many people and mixed people. It will be a good opportunity.”

    The Qixi Yueshen Festival is one of the most grand festivals in Dongdu every year.

    In this kind of occasion, it is generally necessary to choose good-looking young talents. It is not surprising that Gu Jiusi is selected this year.

    Luo Zishang got the news and slowly opened his eyes: “Have you contacted the Queen Mother?”

    “We got in touch,” the servant didn’t dare to look up, and continued, “The news has also passed.”

    “Hmm.”

    Luo Zishang nodded: “Okay.”

    “Master,” the guard who had been standing next to him said in a low voice, “Are we going to prepare someone here?”

    Luo Zishang thought about it: “Did you bring the team from Beiliang?”

    “Yes.” The guard replied, “Keep it in the dark.”

    “That’s it.”

    Luo Zishang laughed, with a cold light in his eyes: “If the queen mother doesn’t do anything, that’s fine, we’ll take him on the road in person, that’s fine.”

    Having said this, the guard immediately knelt down and responded, “Yes.”

    Luo Zishang arranged everything, and Gu Jiusi went out at dawn on the Qixi Festival.

    He seemed very happy, and before leaving, he said to Liu Yuru, “Don’t go out today, just wait for my signal at home. I’ll tell you to come out and then come out.”

    Liu Yuru knew what he had to do, so she smiled and said, “Okay.”

    Gu Jiusi walked out of the house happily, and when he went out, he saw Jiang He leaning against the door with a fan on his shoulder.

    “Little Jiusi,” Jiang He curled the corners of his mouth, “Today, my uncle made a plan for you, it’s not advisable to go out.”
