MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 59

For Liu Yuru's obsession with making money, Gu Jiusi is helpless.

The matter of love cannot be forced, it is best to follow the circumstances. In short, people are his, and he is not in a hurry at this moment.

It's just that I always feel a little unwilling in my heart. In the morning, Gu Jiusi looked at Liu Yuru giving him a thin belt, he looked sad and sighed. Liu Yuru noticed it, so today she took the initiative to kiss him on tiptoe, Gu Jiusi saw that Liu Yuru had taken the initiative, and immediately stretched out her hand to embrace Liu Yuru's waist and did not let go. Liu Yuru looked at him and said with a smile, "What is Langjun doing?"

"Nurturing feelings."

Gu Jiusi answered in a serious manner, Liu Yuru was amused, she raised her hand to block Gu Jiusi's face, and said with a smile, "Where can you cultivate feelings like this?"

"How about that?"

"When the flowers are before the moon and the moon is in front of the old temple, the mountains and the sea swear to each other for life."

Shen Ming's voice came in from outside, Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru looked over together, Shen Ming leaned towards the door, held the knife in his hand, and extended his voice: "Master Gu , someone is looking for you."

"What are you looking for?" Gu Jiusi lowered his face and said with a dark face, "Get out of here and shoot me out."

"Good."

Shen Ming agreed, turned his head and went to blast people, Gu Jiusi stopped him: "Wait," Gu Jiusi let go of Liu Yuru, coughed lightly, "Who is here? ?"

"Oh, it looks like Fan Xuan."

Speaking, Shen Ming turned around and said, "I'll blast people."

"Wait!" Gu Jiusi hurriedly stopped him, Shen Ming kept walking, Gu Jiusi said anxiously, "Stop for me! Don't offend the adults!"

Gu Jiusi chased Shen Ming out of the yard, Liu Yuru and the maid in the house looked at each other and both laughed.

Shen Ming led Gu Jiusi into the front hall, where Fan Xuan, Zhou Gaolang, Zhou Ye and others were admiring the paintings. Zhou Gaolang and Fan Xuan were chatting about a landscape picture hanging in Gu Jiusi's hall. Gu Jiusi went to the door, paused, adjusted his clothes, and then went in. He said respectfully, "I have seen two adults."

Speaking, he saluted Zhou Ye again: "I have seen Brother Zhou."

"Oh, Master Gu," Fan Xuan turned around, raised his hand to wake Gu Jiusi, sat down on the chair, and greeted everyone to sit down, then turned his head and said with Gu Jiusi: "Listen Said that you have already prepared all the money that you need to prepare this year. I feel very surprised, so I came to ask you about your experience. "

Gu Jiusi responded and understood that this was Fan Xuan's question about Youzhou's debt. After he explained the ins and outs of the matter to Fan Xuan, Fan Xuan nodded in admiration and said, "Can you think of something like this? The method can still be implemented, and Master Gu is truly extraordinary."

Speaking, Fan Xuan thought about it and said, "Then how do you think this Youzhou debt will be extended to the entire Youzhou?"

"Sir," Gu Jiusi said calmly, "The reason why Youzhou bonds can be issued this time is that the first is to force the wealthy businessmen to buy most of them, and the second is that Wangdu is rich, so rich People. If it is placed in other counties and townships, I am afraid that it will not be easy for everyone to eat enough. Where will they come to buy Youzhou bonds? Moreover, the most important thing about Youzhou debts is not the issuance, but how to repay them in the future. Today we issued Youzhou bonds. Debt, with a three-year term and repayment of interest every month, we must guarantee the credit of Youzhou debt, so that everyone will always trust it. Trust has become a habit, and the imperial court will have this loan all year round. In the future, we do not need to Youzhou promotes it, but adults can manage as much as we can, and we will just issue that one. So the top priority is not to let all counties try it. In this way, the court has borrowed so much money, and if the interest is not paid in the future, it is equivalent to Ruining this matter. Why are wealthy businessmen reluctant to borrow money from the imperial court today? That is because Guan Zhong has learned from the past.

Fan Xuan thought about it and nodded.

He looked up at Gu Jiusi and said slowly: "Since you proposed this matter and you implement it, I will not interfere much. Now the key is not on this matter, now King Liang We have already invaded the eastern capital, and we also need to go to the eastern capital to rescue us. If we can get the eastern capital, we will inevitably have a stalemate with the vassal king Jiedu, who has already established himself. We must have a long-term plan. Your 300,000 yuan Stone grain and grass, is it available?"

Gu Jiusi's expression darkened when he heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "Xiaguan will be as soon as possible."

"By the end of the year at the latest," Fan Xuan lit the table and said slowly, "I have to see the food, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

"The officer understands."

Gu Jiusi heard the beating and responded immediately. Seeing his appearance, Fan Xuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, you have done a good job now, I just want to know if you can do better."

Speaking, Fan Xuan looked at the landscape painting on the wall, but said, "Whose hand is this painting?"

Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, he glanced at it, this painting should have been painted by Liu Yuru before, he saw that Liu Yuru painted it well, so he hung it in the hall. He blushed a little, and hurriedly said, "My wife drew it."

"It's actually your wife?" Fan Xuan was stunned for a while, and then praised, "Mrs. has a ravine in her chest, she is not an ordinary woman."

Gu Jiusi heard Fan Xuan compliment Liu Yuru, and he didn't know what was going on, so he felt happier than complimenting himself.

He laughed suddenly, and replied: "It is true, if my wife is a man, he must be a handsome man!"

Hearing this, Zhou Gaolang couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Gu Jiusi realized that he was praising Liu Yuru unconsciously.

He coughed lightly, and said with Fan Xuan, "Uncle Fan, Master Gu and his wife have a deep relationship with his wife, and he loves his wife very much. That's why..."

"It's a good thing." Fan Xuan nodded and said, "You can see how a man treats his family. He will be responsible for his family, and he will also be responsible for other things. It is very good to love your wife, and I, as a colleague, appreciate it very much."

Having these words, Zhou Ye felt relieved. Gu Jiusi and Zhou Ye followed Fan Xuan and Zhou Gaolang around the house. After chatting for a while, they sent the three of them away.

After the three left, Gu Jiusi was at the door and instructed Mu Nan to prepare tea and wine. After waiting for a while, he saw Zhou Ye go and return. Zhou Ye asked with some doubts, "Why are you still standing here?"

"Didn't I wait for you to come back?" Gu Jiusi said with a smile. Zhou Ye was a little surprised: "And you know I'm coming back?"

"Guess."

Speaking, Gu Jiusi led Zhou Ye back to the courtyard and said, "Let's go, the wine is ready, have a drink."

Zhou Ye smiled: "You can change your name to Gu Banxian in the future."

Gu Jiusi shook his fan and nodded: "It's also a way out."

Zhou Ye went to the yard with him, the two sat down, and Zhou Ye said: "I checked the news for you, in fact, Youzhou has enough military supplies now, no matter how much more is just a reserve, now Uncle Fan just wants to try you."

Gu Jiusi nodded, Zhou Ye continued: "You know, Uncle Fan's military commanders are mainly my foster father, and the rest are led by Ma Chang, who led a group of people to join my foster father. The chamber resisted. Among the advisors, there are also Zhang Yu, Cao Wenchang, Lu Yong and others. Among them, Lu Yong is mainly responsible for managing money and food, but he is not too young. Uncle Fan is now planning to train a successor for him. This time, if you can get 300,000 stone of grain, it's good, if you can't get it, that's fine, don't put too much pressure on you."

Gu Jiusi listened, he analyzed Zhou Ye's words, and cupped his hands: "Thank you Brother Zhou for reminding me."

"Oh, there are." Zhou Ye smiled and said, "I'm going to marry a wife in the middle of the month, you can marry me."

Hearing this, Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly said: "Congratulations, congratulations, why is it so sudden?"

"It's not a sudden," Zhou Ye said helplessly, "The marriage that my mother set was originally supposed to be next year. But now the war is chaotic, and the girl's house is gone. Some time ago After defecting over, my mother felt that it was not a problem to live at home like this, so she said that the marriage should be done first."

Gu Jiusi nodded, but said, "Have you seen it?"

Zhou Ye's face was slightly red, and he seemed a little embarrassed: "I have seen it."

"How?"

"It's pretty good too." Zhou Ye said embarrassedly. Gu Jiusi smiled when he saw Zhou Ye's appearance, raised his glass and said, "Congratulations to Brother Zhou then."

After seeing Zhou Ye off, Gu Jiusi stood at the door and sighed. Liu Yuru was about to go out, when she heard him sigh, she said, "Why are you sighing here, Lord Lang?"

"Are you going to the shop?" Gu Jiusi looked back and saw Liu Yuru combing neatly, Liu Yuru smiled: "Yes, Lang Jun is with me?"

Gu Jiusi nodded, he stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Yuru, walked with her to the carriage, and helped her onto the carriage. Gu Jiusi walked in again. After the two entered the room, Liu Yuru said, "What did you sigh just now?"

"It's just a bit of emotion," Gu Jiusi looked regretful, "I don't think Big Brother Zhou's life is easy."

"How?"

Gu Jiusi told Zhou Ye's situation, Liu Yuru was a little strange: "Marrying a wife is a good thing, why do you feel that he is not easy to come?"

"The woman's family is gone," Gu Jiusi reminded her, "If he is Zhou Gaolang's own eldest son, how can his mother let him marry such a woman with no background? In the military Youzhou officialdom, although everyone knew that he was Zhou Gaolang's adopted son, he had always been doing odd jobs and had no real power. Now that he has married such a woman, it is nothing more than his mother wants to tell others that this son has no ambitions. Brother Zhou's mother is afraid of him."

Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, and when she understood what Gu Jiusi meant, she couldn't help being silent.

Gu Jiusi is indeed sharper than ordinary people, but in a few words, he has already figured out the circumstances of the Zhou family that are not known to outsiders. Liu Yuru had a lot of dealings with female relatives in Wangdu City on weekdays, so she naturally knew a thing or two about Zhou Ye's family.

Zhou Gaolang has one wife and one concubine, plus Zhou Gaolang has three sons and two daughters. According to his status, it is already considered a bad girl at the moment. Among these three sons, except for Zhou Ye, there is a direct son and a concubine, and these two, the direct son is only thirteen years old, and the concubine is only ten years old, and there is a huge age gap between Zhou Ye and Zhou Ye. Zhou Gaolang has always regarded Zhou Ye as a parent-child. If Mrs. Zhou did not suppress one or two, what other thoughts did Zhou Ye have? How could these two children be rivals?

Mrs. Zhou's idea is not unreasonable, but for Zhou Ye, the adoptive father has no chance, but the biological mother has suspicion, which undoubtedly makes him very painful.

Liu Yuru sighed: "Big Brother Zhou will think about it himself. Since he didn't tell you this, don't assume that you understand it yourself."

"I know."

Gu Jiusi nodded, he thought, and suddenly said happily: "Oh, and today, Master Fan praised you for your good painting."

"How does he know that I am good at painting?" Liu Yuru was a little puzzled, Gu Jiusi smiled and told the story of Fan Xuan's coming home.

Liu Yuru could hear the ins and outs, but the final focus was: "So, you have to collect 300,000 stone grains at the end of the year?"

Gu Jiusi nodded and pondered: "Fan Xuan is ready to send troops, and then the food is the most important thing. A soldier on the battlefield needs at least three logisticians to supply it, and a hundred thousand troops can also be supplied. There are 400,000 people on the battlefield, and there are even fewer people working in agriculture. I plan to resettle all these refugees from Cangzhou, and go to the suburbs to open up the wasteland and plant food, which will be planted this year, and will be eaten next year. "

"What do you plan to do with the 300,000 stone?"

Liu Yuru frowned, hearing that Gu Jiusi avoided this topic, Gu Jiusi saw that she was chasing, and sighed: "Don't worry, I'll find a way. These three hundred thousand stone , The emphasis is on the test, not the number. Fan Xuan is probably more concerned about how I got the food than the final result. So we can't use the money raised by Youzhou debt to buy food in Youzhou, which comes from the whole war situation. Saying it doesn't help Fan Xuan. But how to raise it... I'll think about it."

The two of them were talking, and they arrived at the government office. The carriage stopped, and Huang Long said from outside: "Sir, it's here."

Gu Jiusi nodded, got up and said, "I'll go to work first and go home at night."

Liu Yuru replied, still thinking in her heart, Gu Jiusi got off the carriage, and after a while, he suddenly turned around, lifted the curtain, showed a bright smile on his face, and said softly: "Remember to miss me ."

Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, Gu Jiusi put down the curtain, she heard Gu Jiusi's name being called outside, Gu Jiusi responded and ran quickly.

Liu Yuru rolled up the curtain of the car and saw Gu Jiusi's back. He was wearing a blue official robe and seemed to be taller than he remembered. There was a little indescribable calm in his youthful air. Liu Yuru looked at his back quietly, and she looked at him for a long time until he disappeared in front of her eyes, and it was not until Yinhong called her name that she remembered - oh, it's time to go.

After putting down the curtain, Liu Yuru pondered, how can she be dumbfounded by looking at the back of a person?

She thought she was a little ridiculous, so she took the sales records made by Yunyun from the side, and carefully calculated what new things Huarong should launch in winter.

As she pondered, she went to the store.

"These days, many foreign merchants come here to get goods from us, and they take a lot of goods."

"I know." Liu Yuru nodded, "Sell it elsewhere."

"I met someone from Yangzhou yesterday," Yunyun said with consideration, hearing the word "Yangzhou", Liu Yuru paused, she looked up at Yunyun, Yunyun hesitated He said aloud, "He told me that he bought it for his wife. In Yangzhou, the price of our goods is more than tripled. Not to mention, there are still people who fake it."

Liu Yuru frowned.

She has been inquiring about the news of Yangzhou, knowing that Yangzhou has been stable in recent days. Wang Shanquan turned the situation in Yangzhou upside down. The richest man in the past, Gu's family, fell, and many families who had grudges with the Wang family also spent money to buy their lives and survived. However, Yangzhou's business is developed, business is always to be done, life is always to pass, some people fall, naturally some people get up, so many upstarts emerged in a short time, most of these people have something to do with Wang Shanquan, or relatives, or Friends, or dog legs, in short, Yangzhou is now the king's world.

Liu Yuru was silent for a moment, and finally said: "You tell me this, what do you think?"

"I thought," Yunyun said cautiously, "It's small for us to make money, but if someone smashes the sign, it's not good. Even if the lady is unable to open a store now, she has to find a way to let There is a way for people to buy our goods from a certain channel."

Liu Yuru listened to Yunyun's words, nodded and said, "You are very right."

Speaking, she thought for a while: "You let me think about it."

Thinking about this, she thought of the night, Liu Yuru actually understood that if people had a certain channel to buy Huarong's goods, either she opened the store or she designated a business, only Let the other party sell.

It is impossible for her to open the store in Yangzhou. Once she opens in Yangzhou, she will have to take care of it from time to time. As time goes by, it is difficult to ensure that Wang Shanquan will not find it.

If you designate a business, who to designate, and how to do it, you need to see and discuss, which also means that she must go to Yangzhou.

Going to Yangzhou now is not the same as when I fled. All the way from the official road to let the guards protect the past, the safety issue is not a big deal, it's just...

Liu Yuru hesitated, she was only a woman after all, it was still too out of line to go around alone like this. She didn't know what Gu Jiusi was thinking, let alone what Jiang Rou would think.

But things were on her mind, and when she got home, she seemed a little worried.

Gu Jiusi saw it and thought she was tired, so she volunteered to unload her hair.

There are not many hair accessories on Liu Yuru's head, but Gu Jiusi is afraid of pulling her, so he starts slowly and thinly, while he removes the hairpin on Liu Yuru's head, he chats with her at will: " I thought about it today, the 300,000 shi of grain should be bought from outside. Let's issue an additional batch of Youzhou bonds to buy grain, and I will organize a caravan to buy the 300,000 shi from a place that produces more grain. ."

"Where are you going to buy it?"

Liu Yuru heard this, her heart suddenly quickened.

Gu Jiusi was silent for a moment. He held Liu Yuru's hair and lowered his eyes. After a long time, he said calmly, "Yangzhou."
