Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 537 Everyone Come
"Aqing, you are fine!"

Gu Heng looked at the string of small islands, thinking that this place could be used as a "retreat" for the Gu family.

He is old and mature, and he knows his little granddaughter very well: Ah Qing talks about "silver mines", and he probably wants to make these places the territory of the Gu family.

Aqing understands the principle of the cunning rabbit’s three burrows better!

"So, there is really no comparison between these people!"

Looking at the increasingly beautiful and intelligent granddaughter, Gu Heng once again thought of Gu Youyi on the other side.

Alas, they are all "ambitious" Gu's daughters, the gap is really not a little bit.

Gu Qing thinks ahead in everything, and relies on herself to plan step by step.

As for Gu Youyi, it seems that she also has some adventures, and she can always predict something.

But she is still used to relying on others——

Externally, count on Yu Wenheng;

Internally, always try to get Gu's help!

Yes, the Gu family did give some help to Gu Qing.

However, Gu Qing gave Gu Shi "hope" first.

Refined rock salt, horseshoes, sugar, sea salt, etc., any one of them is enough to make a family continue to be wealthy.

As for Gu Qing, he handed it over to the family without reservation.

She has the whole Gu family in her heart.

On the other hand, Gu Youyi seems to be more influenced by her mother Xie.

She only cared about her own small family, but didn't focus on the big picture of the family.

If it's a peaceful and prosperous age, Gu everyone and Gu Xiaojia are fine.

But it’s different now, dynasties have changed, the North and the South are confronting each other, wars continue, and heroes rise together.

In such a chaotic world, if you can't get close and unite with your clansmen, let alone want to fight for hegemony, it's even hard to protect yourself!
It's Gu Qing's behavior that makes Gu Heng and other members of the Gu clan more satisfied, and they are 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 as Yuwen's family, she can rest assured to be Yuwen's bride from now on.

"Do we still need more manpower?"

Gu Heng gathered his thoughts and turned his attention back to his conversation with Gu Qingcheng.

He knew that his granddaughter was 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, not only to discuss, but also to get support——

Hey, that's great!
If Aqing didn't ask for help from her own family, like Gu Youyi, Gu Heng would be disappointed and sad.

Because if you do that, it shows that she doesn't regard herself as a member of the Gu family.

Furthermore, going to Fusang to dig mines is a great thing!

Aqing is not looking for help, but to share the profits.

"Yes! The matter of mining overseas is of great importance and requires reliable people to take charge!"

If possible, Gu Qing would like to go alone.

However, Lingnan cannot let go.

Alas, people hate less when they use it.

Time is still too urgent. If she waits another three to five years, the first batch of orphans she has trained will be available.

Unfortunately, Gu Qingcheng couldn't wait!

These plans must be implemented as soon as possible.

And the Gu family itself is her foundation, so Gu Qingcheng won't really feel uneasy with people from the Gu family.

"How about calling my uncle back!"

Gu Qingcheng looked at Gu Heng and asked a tentative question.

The uncle Gu Qingcheng refers to is Gu Heng's nephew and adopted son Gu Hong.

Gu Hong is the posthumous son of Gu Heng's concubine younger brother. When he was born, he lost his biological father and his biological mother remarried.

As the patriarch of the Gu family, Gu Heng ordered someone to bring Gu Hong to his wife to raise him.

Except for not changing the family tree, 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 the Gu Yi brothers also took their younger brother Gu Hong with them.

In the eyes of people from Gu Heng's tribe, Gu Hong is their closest relative.

But in the eyes of other heads of the Gu family and outsiders, Gu Hong is just an outsider who depends on others.

In fact, not to mention other people, some juniors in Gu Heng's branch (such as Gu Youyi) did not regard Gu Hong as one of their own.

Gu Youyi attaches great importance to her small family, but in order to get the support of Gu's family, she will share some benefits with Gu Yi's long house.

Gu Ji is his biological father, so he can naturally get more "tips" from Gu Youyi.

Only Gu Hong and Gu Youyi seem to have forgotten this uncle.

Gu Youyi: ...They are not from my family, and in the previous life, Gu Hong was a dandy, so it would be a disservice to him to find him!

Gu Qingcheng didn't think so.

In her opinion, Gu Hong, who was raised by Gu Heng, was one of her own.

As for Gu Hong not being as good as Gu Yi and Gu Ji, 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 absolute waste. Even the best villains can play a huge role if used in the right place.

This year, Gu Hong is a bit rebellious in his bones, so it is just right for him to go overseas to fight hard!

"..."

Gu Heng looked at Gu Qingcheng fixedly, seeing that her eyes were bright, and she didn't seem to be faking at all, so he knew that she was from the bottom of her heart.

OK!

This is the kindness and tolerance that the helm of the Gu family should have.

If it's not your own, so what?
As long as the surname is Gu, they are a family.

As the head of the direct branch, being able to support and reuse the side branches shows great potential as a clan leader.

As expected of her valued granddaughter, she really has a big picture.

"Okay! Then call Hong'er!"

Gu Heng nodded slowly, agreeing to Gu Qingcheng's proposal.

Of course, if you want to go overseas, you can’t have just one Gu Hong.

He is more of a "general" and needs to be equipped with enough soldiers.

Gu Heng began to "shake people" to Jiankang again.

But this time, there were many Gu clan members rushing to sign up without Gu Heng saying too many confusing words.

What a joke!
Any property owned by the Gu family in Lingnan is a treasure trove.

Sugar and salt are all hugely profitable industries.

There is also Champa rice, which has also been planted in Jiankang and other places.

It can be harvested twice a year, and its yield is [-]% higher than that of ordinary rice seeds.

Just from the food item, Gu made a lot of money——

Cough cough, war, food is the hard currency.

Whoever has food in his hands is the boss.

If he were an ordinary grain merchant, he might be slaughtered as a fat sheep by someone in authority.

However, Gu's is different.

Gu Heng is no longer Zhongshu Ling, and Gu Yi is no longer the consort, but the huge Gu family is still there.

Gu's in-laws and old friends were spread throughout the court and affected the entire capital.

The Gu family's fine seeds have 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 family member that Jiankang cannot mess with.

Outsiders know that the Gu family is "wealthy", and the Gu family knows more about the "dominance" of Gu Heng's grandparents in Lingnan.

Therefore, when they heard that Gu Qing was recruiting people again, the Gu clan members rushed to join him!
How miasmatic is Lingnan?
cut!
That's the old calendar, San Niang's child has been promising since he was a child, and he has become more and more capable in recent years.

The exiled imperial physician she hired with a lot of money developed a medicine to treat miasma.

How many barbarians are there in Lingnan?
Hey!
You didn’t know this, right? The female heads in Lingnan are all our Sanniang’s close friends.

Lingnan——

Anyway, no matter how many difficulties there are, as long as Gu Qing and Gu Sanniang are around, it will be all right!

Let's go to Lingnan to make a fortune, oh no, to help the Xiangzhu tribe!
Gu Qing's "shaking people" this time was quite grand.

Not only the Gu clan members responded 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.

The direct branch cannot be dispatched easily, but every family has side branches.

Even the new emperor Chen Jing, who usurped the throne, and his Chen family were also very moved.

War is expensive. Chen Jing was a rebel general who overthrew the previous dynasty by force.

After winning the Xiao family's country, Chen Jing learned a lesson and never dared to give up his military power easily.

In his hands, he still holds a hundred thousand elite soldiers.

However, raising troops is too expensive.

The expenditure of one hundred thousand elite soldiers almost exhausted Chen Jing's internal treasury.

"No! We must find other sources of income as soon as possible!"

Chen Jing wanted to use the state treasury to support his own private soldiers, but the courtiers refused.

The Northern Dynasties stared covetously, and there were always wars in the states and counties along the river.

Chen Jingbao's own direct descendants will not be sent out easily, and those who fight by the river are other generals.

The treasury also needs to pay for this part of the military expenditure.

Chen Jing is covering his inner treasury and wants to get his hands on the national treasury. However, his private soldiers are well fed and well paid and receive adequate military pay, but they do not have to fight. Those who fight are hungry and unable to receive military pay and are still missed...

Tsk, the relationship between Chen Jing and the courtiers is really tense.

As the emperor, Chen Jing was really short of money!

"Lingnan is my Lingnan, how can the Gu family be allowed to dominate!"

Chen Jing saw with his own eyes how booming Gu's business in sugar and salt was, and his eyes were bloodshot with jealousy.

Now, there are big families going south one after another, Chen Jing can't sit still anymore.

"Come here! King Xuanliang!"

Chen Jing thought about it several times, and finally made a decision!

……

"Prince Liang? Chen Duan?"

Gu Qingcheng was far away in Lingnan. In less than three days, he received a letter from Jiankang.

She took the letter and came to the study to discuss it with Gu Heng.

"Why, Chen Duan is coming to Lingnan too?"

Gu Heng was very satisfied with the "Lingnan style" he had created by himself.

Although the Gu family intends to become king in Lingnan, Lingnan is too big.

Just one Gu family can't eat at all!

The Gu family's great cause also needs the help of other families.

What else 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 and has an absolute advantage in both department and industry.

Not to mention the foreign families, even the local wealthy families chose to cooperate with the Gu family instead of confronting them.

Gu Heng has absolute confidence in his family, especially in A Qing.

"Well, Chen Jing is short of money, and Lingnan has long been declared to be a treasure land of 'gold everywhere'."

Gu Qingcheng was not at all surprised by this situation.

In fact, there were similar rumors about Jiankang, and they were all her fault.

She needs allies, and more importantly, she needs to divide the original alliance.

Her great cause has always been from the bottom up, from the inside out...
