Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 295
Compared with rock salt, sea salt is king.

However, the current method of making salt is basically boiling salt.

It requires firewood, a pot, and labor.

Of course in ancient times, the last item was worthless.

However, if you can save it, you can save it.

Just like Gu Qingcheng, the only reliable manpower she can use now is about a dozen Buqu and twenty guest girls.

Although those rangers also settled down in the fishing village with the Gu family, they are still in the investigation period.

Whether it is reliable or not is yet to be determined.

After all, cooking salt is not without technical content.

The last step of filtering is the technical difficulty that needs to be "confidential".

And now, Gu Qingcheng thought of a more convenient and effective method of making salt - the sun-dried salt method!

Compared with boiled salt, sun-dried salt is simply a costless business.

Designate salt fields by the sea, and when the southeast wind blows in spring, the seawater will be able to complete it by itself.

After collecting, filtering and other procedures, it is high-quality sea salt.

Guarding a huge beach is like guarding an endless cornucopia.

And with money, there will be a foundation for what Gu Qingcheng wants to plan!

"Do you still need manpower?"

Gu Heng wandered around every day.

In addition to personally experiencing the customs of southern Xinjiang, I am also looking for old friends.

Cough, don't forget, this is Lingnan, the ancient "Holy Land" of exile.

Those who can come to this place are either big treacherous and evil, or great virtuous and powerful.

Especially in the last 100 years, dynasties have changed frequently.

Not to mention the usual court party disputes, but every time the dynasty changes, many loyal or treacherous officials will be exiled here.

This dynasty only has a history of more than 40 years. When the founding emperor of this dynasty stole the country, he exiled a large number of people.

Gu Heng is already in his sixties. After two dynasties, many of the exiled ministers have old friends!

What's more, there are offshoots or in-laws of the Gu family.

Since Gu Heng came to Luozhou, he should pay a visit to the old people or their descendants.

"Well! Aon, if I want to do something, I need a lot of reliable people."

Gu Qingcheng sighed again, she was still too young.

six years old!

Let alone a young girl, even a young gentleman has no prestige.

If they want to recruit troops, people may be willing to place a bet because of her surname "Gu".

However, it is not easy to gain the loyalty of the other party.

To put it bluntly, it is a question of whether a six-year-old girl can grow up.

The mortality rate is too high these days.

A single wind and cold can kill an adult, let alone a child.

Gu Qingcheng can only wait for himself to grow up slowly.

For now, she can only ask her elders for help first.

"Okay! I'll figure it out!"

Seeing Gu Qingcheng's serious face, Gu Heng knew that his granddaughter probably had a new plan.

After experiencing the incident of purifying rock salt and horseshoes, Gu Heng no longer regarded his little granddaughter as a child.

He put Gu Qingcheng on an equal footing, even as the "head of the family".

Gu Heng had great trust in his little granddaughter. He didn't even ask Gu Qingcheng what his plan was, and he started thinking of ways to help recruit people.

Exiled prisoners, their families, and descendants;
In-laws and old friends of the Gu family;
There are also orphans who have lost their families due to various reasons.

Gu Heng began to aggressively recruit people.

Gu Heng's energy as the former Zhong Shuling began to be brought into full play.

In less than two months, many people gathered around the Gu family's newly built Sanjin residence.

Among them, there are 80 young adults.

In addition, Gu Heng wrote another letter to Jiankang, choosing two Fangtou out of the dozen or so Fang clansmen staying behind in the capital, and asked them to take Qing Zhuang, Buqu, etc. to Lingnan.

Gu Heng is like a martial arts lord who has returned to the martial arts world. With one order, talents from all directions will gather.

Gu Qingcheng: ...Awesome, my Aweng!
There are also those rangers who seem to feel something, and they are actively performing one by one, striving to join the Gu family like Nie Chengfeng.

When it was about to enter the twelfth lunar month, Gu Heng had already helped Gu Qingcheng select [-] people who could be reused.

These people have joined the Gu family and are their slaves.

If they want to become a subordinate, or even a higher-level retainer, they need to continue to work hard.

The project that Gu Qingcheng is about to start is an opportunity for them to perform.

Huoshui: ... Kiss, don't be too busy building infrastructure, it's more interesting to do tasks.

Gu Qingcheng ignored Huoshui's nonsense and continued to advance step by step according to his plan.

Once you have manpower, you need to arrange it.

Without further ado, continue to build the house.

Then, there is land enclosure and land purchase.

Gu Qingcheng bought a large area of ​​tidal flats around him.

In addition, she also opened up Gu's "base camp" for more than ten miles.

The tentacles almost touched the county seat before they could barely stop.

After such "expansion", the territory under the name of the Gu family has several villages and several hills.

Connected, it is not much smaller than the county seat.

Of course, most of the Gu family's territory is barren land and mountains.

Some are even the domain of local slang people.

It's just that these slang people hide in the mountains and forests, unwilling to accept the "education" of the government, and are regarded as savages and barbarians.

Their interests (such as territory) are not protected by the government.

The governor of Luozhou unceremoniously assigned the land to Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng has "common sense" in the small world of work, and also agrees with the idea of ​​national unity.

Treating slang people is not like in the past, treating them as aliens.

They are all family!
However, for now, Gu Qingcheng does not have the strength to engage in enlightenment.

She must run the Gu family's base camp well first!
Temporarily draw out the slang's territory separately, Gu Qingcheng did not take the initiative to provoke it.

She went on to develop other places.

Build houses, repair Wubao, reclaim wasteland.

In addition, combined with the local situation, she dug a cave——

If a hurricane strikes in the coming year, you can have one more place to avoid natural disasters!

Gu Heng: ...

He is not really old and decrepit, but an old fox in the court who has experienced two dynasties and held a high position in the imperial court.

His little granddaughter's various behaviors made him feel more and more frightened (or excited?).

What does this kid want to do?
This is no longer precocious, but almost evil.

If the gender is changed, Gu Heng will think that the child wants to—

Uh, well, it's okay to be a little girl!
Women in this era are still very tough.

Not to mention those royal princesses, even the noble daughters of aristocratic families, it's not like they don't leave the door without going out.

When they are quiet, they read, drink tea, make tea and burn incense;
Once they move, they can get on their horses to play ball, and get off their horses to slash people!

Really cut people!
If there is a news about "domestic violence", it may not be a man beating a woman.

It is very likely that the woman who is both civil and military is beating up the dog man who is not up to date!
It's not just young couples who do this, but even the big guys in the court will occasionally put down a grape trellis, or get scratched in the face by the cat or lynx at home!
There are also some shrews in Beijing, holding machetes and riding whips, chasing their husbands out of several streets!
It is not uncommon for unmarried young girls to get together to vent their anger on their sisters and aunts, jump over walls and smash doors, and beat up dogs and men and women.

This is still a relatively "gentle" Southern Dynasty.

The northern side is said to be more sturdy.

For example, the Dugu clan, the Qiu Muling clan, the deeds of those Xianbei noble ladies, tsk tsk, the noble ladies of the Southern Dynasties have heard of it from a long distance away.

Compared with those tough women, my Ah Qing is just more ambitious!

This, actually, is nothing!
Right!

Gu Heng comforted himself in this way. He did not stop his granddaughter, but instead tried his best to help.

He wanted to see what step their Gu's daughter could make.

Is it because women don't give way to men, or——

Gu Heng "indulged", and Gu Qingcheng became more open-minded.

She built this seaside area into Gu's "Wu Fort" completely according to the standard of building a city.

During the busy period, all kinds of talents are in place one after another.

The time has come to the twelfth lunar month.

"It doesn't even snow here?"

Although Gu Qingcheng is from the Southern Dynasty, in Jiankang, it will snow in winter.

But in Lingnan, it's the twelfth lunar month, and the sun is still shining brightly.

If you wear something thicker, you will sweat profusely.

"Using the temperature of future generations to measure, at noon, it is estimated that there are more than 20 degrees."

Gu Qingcheng has "common sense" and knows that there is a big temperature difference between the north and the south.

However, being in this area in person still felt novel to her.

If there is no snow in winter, how can you enjoy the lanterns in the first month?
Flower viewing lights?
Subsequent facts proved that even if Gu Qingcheng stayed in Jiankang, he would not be able to enjoy the lanterns this year.

Because, on the day of Zhengdan, the power minister Chen Jing forced the current "Zen position", and he became the emperor of the new dynasty.

The Southern Dynasties changed again!
The fate of the current emperor is the same as that of the last emperor of the previous dynasty. Even if he abdicated obediently, he would still be killed by Jiu.

There is no way, the Sima family made a very bad start at the beginning, and the subsequent rebellious officials and thieves also followed suit.

The emperor of the Xiao family died, and the Xiao family was also purged.

Only a few people fled to the Northern Dynasty in a hurry.

"..."

The eldest princess of Jiangling, who had already gained a firm foothold in the Northern Dynasty, saw her nephew and grandnephew who were described as miserable. Although she had known that such a day would come, she still couldn't help crying bitterly.

"Aunt! Father! Brother!"

Our Xiao family is lost!
I am ashamed of my ancestors~~
The eldest princess of Jiangling almost fainted from crying.

However, she didn't mention revenge or anything.

It's just a change of dynasties. Even the Xiao family stole the world from the previous emperor.

It's just a cycle of cause and effect.

"Princess!"

Gu Yi felt very distressed when he saw his wife, but he couldn't do anything to persuade her.

The grief brought about by the destruction of the country and the death of the family cannot be appeased by a few words.

"...I'm fine!"

Slowly, Princess Jiangling calmed down by herself.

She wiped away her tears and said mockingly, "I won't be a princess anymore! Sir, please call me Xiao Shi."

PS: The third one is a little later!
