Of course, digging up ancestral graves is not a glorious thing and should not be publicized.
Moreover, for now, Gu Qingcheng has just left the palace, has just formed his own bodyguard, and has no one he can truly trust.
She is now not just a fledgling, but has just grown feathers.
She still needs time and an opportunity.
Furthermore, what she is spending now is only the wealth that is on the surface, and the things she has hidden in the storage compartment have not been used yet.
And the things she brought out from the palace were enough for her to form an army of tens of thousands of people and feed them for many years.
She is really not short of money!
Not to mention, she won’t just sit back and rest!
Already cooperating with country D, Gu Qingcheng will not be satisfied, she wants more allies!
It's November, and soon it will be Thanksgiving in Ugly Country.
According to their custom, Chou Country's mansion will hold a Thanksgiving reception.
Regardless of Gu Qingcheng's recent fame as the "last princess" or her friendly relationship with foreigners, she was able to receive invitations from Chou Country.
By then, she will be able to further expand her circle of allies.
"You don't need to worry about money!"
"This princess is Princess Gu Lun. Khan Amma and Huang Enie left me a lot of things."
Gu Qingcheng gathered her thoughts and spoke to Yuping confidently.
After hearing this, Yu Ping looked astonished, "Yes! I'm so stupid that I forgot all this!"
Although they left the palace in a hurry, each of them only brought a big baggage.
But a princess is a princess, and she has many private properties.
Maybe it's a banknote from a bank, or a safe from a foreign bank.
Alas, the princess is the only child of the late emperor and the queen mother.
The late emperor died too early and had no time to plan for the princess, but the queen mother did not pass away until two years ago.
The Queen Mother Ye loved the princess so much, and the new army outside also respected the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother Ye secretly helped the princess buy some properties outside (such as the princess's mansion), which was a very normal operation.
Gu Qingcheng: ...The identity of the direct princess is very useful.
You don’t have to make up excuses yourself, someone will take the initiative to make up excuses.
However, Yuping's nagging reminded Gu Qingcheng, "Yes! Princess Mansion!"
She couldn't always live in someone else's territory.
Whether it is Country D's mansion or the Xishan Military Camp, they are all "borrowed".
She needs a place of her own.
The next day, she found a broker and wanted to buy a house.
"Princess, having a house is in line with your status. Speaking of which, it is also a palace."
Although the broker was surprised that his client was the famous Princess Qingcheng Gu Lun, he was first and foremost a businessman.
The first priority is to do business and earn commissions.
After hearing Gu Qingcheng's request for the princess mansion, the broker thought about it for a moment and then came up with it.
"Prince Qing's villa in Haidian has seven entrances and seven exits. The house is very well preserved."
"The location is also good, not far from Shuimu, University Hall, etc."
"As for the price, if it's to outsiders, it might be higher, but you are a princess, so Prince Qing must be very happy to sell the garden to you!"
This broker is really smart and can understand the thoughts of these "noble people" very well.
For example, Prince Qing, a heavy smoker in his family, began to make a living by selling his property more than ten years ago.
However, no matter how shabby the interior is, face cannot be lost.
Selling another house is secretive. I would rather save a little money, but also maintain the dignity of "Master".
Prince Qing would definitely feel uncomfortable selling it to others.
But what if it is "donated" to Princess Gu Lun?
I believe that Prince Qing is willing to take the initiative to lower the price - I am not a prodigal, but loyal to the princess and master.
Prince Qing gained face and was known as a loyal minister.
Princess Qingcheng can get a princess mansion at an affordable price!
The broker had a good idea of the customer's thoughts, and subsequent facts proved that he was not wrong either!
As soon as King Qing heard that Princess Qingcheng Gu Lun wanted to "occupy" his villa, he immediately expressed his willingness to serve the princess and his master.
Money or not, it doesn’t matter!
As long as the master likes it, just take it!
Ahem, this is what he said on the surface, but Prince Qing was thinking in his heart: This Princess Gu Lun is very rich!
In the past few days, she has been in the newspapers a lot.
Tsk, tsk, subsidize 10,000 taels of silver every year and give unrelated people the opportunity to study abroad for free.
He even spent a lot of money to recruit guards!
You don't need to do any detailed calculations to know that Princess Qingcheng has a lot of private property.
She is probably richer than the emperor who went to the Neon Mansion.
The key is, be smart enough! It’s also strong enough!
The last emperor was expelled from the palace, and many former royal families in Beijing were afraid of being purged.
Even the last emperor only dared to hide in the mansion and did not dare to speak out at will.
Princess Qingcheng, on the other hand, doesn't care about this at all.
She even flaunted her wealth in a high-profile manner and was not afraid of attracting the covetous attention of young people.
Think about it, although Princess Qingcheng is a weak woman with a lot of treasures, she has fallen in love with a foreigner.
Even if some soldiers and ruffians were interested in her money or coveted her beauty, they would not dare to take action easily.
"After all, she is a daughter of the Ye family. She is full of scheming and beauty!"
Prince Qing sat respectfully under Gu Qingcheng, with a slave look on his face, but he was thinking about this in his heart.
"Princess Qingcheng is not as indecisive and fussy as the emperor, but a person who does great things."
"Those who do big things will have a big picture. She will not be greedy for the money in Haidian Yard."
"As a slave, I want to donate my private property to the princess."
"As the master, the princess will naturally give me a reward!"
With Prince Qing thinking this way, his attitude became more and more humble.
Gu Qingcheng didn't care about Prince Qing's petty thoughts. After hearing Prince Qing's words, she showed a "pleased" expression.
"Prince Qing, you are indeed a good person!"
"However, this princess cannot let you suffer!"
"Let's do this. For that set of yards, I will give you a discount based on the market price."
Gu Qingcheng doesn't suffer, but he won't accept free things either.
Because the free ones are the most expensive!
She and Prince Qing are no longer monarchs and ministers, and it is best to have both money and goods!
In this way, Gu Qingcheng spent fifteen thousand taels of silver to buy the other courtyard of Prince Qing's Mansion.
With the house in hand, Gu Qingcheng was not in a hurry to move in.
As soon as it came, there was only an empty shell left in the villa, and all the furniture, furnishings, etc. inside were sold out.
Unable to move in with her bags, Gu Qingcheng had no choice but to send someone to pack up first.
Secondly, Gu Qingcheng's princess guard team has not yet been fully trained.
Although he had Delin as an ally, he also got in touch with the commander.
But these are troubled times. If you are not strong enough and rely only on external forces, you will be easily bullied once you are "alone".
Gu Qingcheng would never gamble with his own safety!
Thirdly, she needs to make further allies.
Staying in the mansion area will help her "socialize".
The time soon came to the end of November, and the three hundred guards had been selected and entered the Xishan Military Camp for new recruit training.
The money was spent like running water.
The effect is also remarkable.
Of the three hundred people, the bannermen accounted for only one-tenth.
Most of them are young people aged 17 or 18. They either come from poor families, are farmers nearby, are refugees on the run, or are destitute people in the world.
But regardless of his background, as long as he met Gu Qingcheng's conditions, he would have a serious job.
Food and accommodation, clothing, ordnance are included, as well as military pay of two taels of silver per month.
Food and accommodation are not something you can mess around with.
After entering the military camp, they were surprised to find that the princess was not lying. She promised each person two taels of meat per day, and she really did it.
The food provided by their Princess Guards is the best in the entire Xishan Camp.
Every time the meal is served, it can make Xin Jun next door cry with greed.
There are also brand-new military uniforms, which I heard were designed by the princess herself and combine the characteristics of D-style military uniforms and Daqing martial arts uniforms.
Both traditional and western.
The key is to keep warm.
In winter, thick cotton-padded clothes are used, and the cotton-padded clothes are filled with new cotton, which is soft and warm.
The new army next door was still wearing half-worn quilted clothes.
When winter comes, the top soldiers of the new army all shrink their shoulders and sleeves, and their noses run straight from the cold.
As for their guards, they were sweating from the heat!
By the end of the month, they had indeed received two taels of silver.
Full military pay is paid out on time, which is the first of many military camps!
"It's worth it! It's worth selling your life to Princess Qingcheng!"
Everyone took the money home, and their hearts were filled with joy when they saw their relatives happy.
The conditions of the Princess Guards are really good, but the training is also really strict.
I run and exercise every day, and from time to time I do a 20-mile cross-country training with weights in the mountains.
There are also shooting, fighting and other trainings.
Practice from dawn to dusk every day.
Back at the military camp, everyone was exhausted.
Some people began to retreat from this almost perverted training model.
However, every time I think about shrinking back, I think about the meat I eat every day, the cotton clothes I wear, and the two taels of silver in salary.
The most important thing is that they have guns in their hands.
Neither you nor your family will be bullied!
"Just be tired if you're tired! You can't exhaust me to death!"
"Three months, as long as I survive these three months, I will still be a good man."
In these troubled times, being able to survive is already pretty good.
The princess not only gave them the conditions for survival, but also gave them the possibility to "become stronger"!
Fight!
Less than half a month after the formation of the escort team, people's hearts were won by Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng transferred twenty people from them to protect him first.
These people may not be truly loyal yet, but they already have the appearance of guards.
Gu Qingcheng finally had the "confidence" to go outside alone.
"...Is that Princess Qingcheng?"
"What is she wearing? It doesn't look right or foreign, but it looks pretty."
"Didn't you see the guards around Princess Qingcheng?"
"Tsk, tsk, this military uniform is very impressive, and the gun on his back is also shiny."
"Why do I think this princess is more majestic than the emperor?"
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Princess Qingcheng, who was in the newspapers almost every day, appeared on stage with her twenty bodyguards...
