"Aqing, are you not afraid of attracting wolves into your house?"
Gu Heng leaned on the desk, looking extremely lazy.
Although he had confidence in his granddaughter, Gu Heng still couldn't hold back and asked.
"Wolf? Wolves are great. In this world, the beasts that know how to unite and collaborate best are wolves!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled lightly.
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, I have medicine!"
She also has the best friend of the original tribal leader like Liming Zhu.
And alliances with local wealthy families such as the Huang family and the Chen family.
Lingnan has not been fully developed and is still in a semi-barbaric state.
The miasma only has corresponding cures, rather than disappearing completely.
There are also those snakes, insects, rats, ants, malaria and other epidemic diseases. If foreign families enter rashly, let alone make a fortune, they will be lucky if they are not destroyed.
And these trump cards are all in Gu Qingcheng's hands.
When those families come, they will only cooperate with Gu Qingcheng and become her help!
Furthermore, Gu Qingcheng’s goal has never been the small Lingnan, but the huge world!
A single tree cannot make a forest, and she needs too many helpers if she wants to accomplish her great cause!
Of course, these help 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 has to give in a bit sometimes."
"Although he was named Prince of Liang and a first-class prince by Chen Jing, there is still a conflict between this person and Chen Jing."
Gu Qingcheng is far away from Jiankang, but still knows the court.
In addition to some memories from the past life, there are also contributions from the spies she sent to Jiankang.
Do you really think her caravans went to Jiankang just to sell sugar and salt?
Since ancient times, caravans have been part-time spies.
The information they can obtain is often the most confidential and freshest.
While Gu Qingcheng was developing industries, he also established intelligence channels.
Not only Jiankang, but 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 else is there to do?
The granddaughter relies on the Gu family, but she is not completely dependent on her. Instead, she has her own power. Instead of being angry or blaming her, Gu Heng feels relieved.
"Well, Chen Jing himself made his fortune through mutiny, so naturally he has to be on guard against the heroes below him following his example!"
"Chen Duan is the number one general under Chen Jing. Not only does he have military power, he also has the same surname as 'Chen'."
Therefore, if Chen Duan rebels, it will not be regarded as a traitor, but at most it will be an internal struggle within the Chen family.
He doesn't need to change dynasties to get half of the world from his cousin or future nephew!
Chen Jing himself is not upright and must be wary of his former confidants.
"Chen Duan was 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 took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation!"
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 hands are not just decorations.
As for Chen Duan, he was Chen Jing's subordinate after all. Although he also had troops, they only had 30,000 troops!
Thirty thousand people want to subvert a hundred thousand people, but they still have "righteousness", Chen Duan has no chance of winning.
But what if we leave the capital and come to Lingnan, a place far away from the sky?
Recruiting troops and contacting other families, in a few years, Chen Duan might become the next Chen Jing!
Gu Qingcheng: ...Haha, you are treating me, Gu Qing, as a dead person!
Do you really think Lingnan is a paradise for careerists?
Is it a terra incognita where the Chen family can do whatever they want?
"Well, you just have to know what's going on!"
Gu Heng had let go long ago, 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 still carried out her plan step by step.
"Is this the model of the treasure ship?"
Huang Yannian once again came to Gu's Wubao in Yuezhou and met Gu Sanniang, who was in the limelight recently.
However, when they met again, Huang Yannian ignored the pleasantries and was attracted by a two-foot-long and one-foot-tall model.
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 knew everything about Huang's most fundamental business, shipping, and its related industries.
Therefore, Huang Yannian can barely be considered a "professional" when it comes to ships, nautical charts, etc.
An expert knows the way!
With just one glance, Huang Yannian discovered the beauty of this sailing ship model.
First of all, its size is huge.
"Nine masts and twelve sails! There are four levels in total!"
Models are basically restored to scale.
Therefore, the real treasure ship should also be enlarged in the same proportion.
Nine masts and twelve sails, four levels up and down. Just thinking about it, Huang Yannian's mind appeared like a giant on the sea.
Huang Yannian stretched out his right hand 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, "Impossible! It's impossible to build such a big sea-going ship!"
The ships in his shipyard are also big ships, but compared with the treasure ship represented by this model, they are quite small.
"How is it impossible? Since I can make a model, I can build a treasure ship of the same proportion!"
Gu Qingcheng's tone was not polite, but she still admired Huang Yannian in her heart.
Although this person is a pretentious guy who likes to imitate others, he also has some real talents.
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!
This is the truest human nature, with shortcomings but also advantages.
It's not just trash, nor is it truly omnipotent.
Therefore, Liming Zhu is still willing to insist on marrying the Huang family, probably because he has seen Huang Yannian's strengths.
"No! I still don't believe it!"
Huang Yannian guessed the size of the treasure ship and found it increasingly unbelievable.
This is impossible!
With the current shipbuilding technology, it is simply impossible to do it!
"Then let's make a bet."
What Gu Qingcheng was waiting for was Huang Yannian's "I don't believe it."
If he believed it, how could he continue singing in the next play?
