After Gu Lan agreed to the deal, he looked at the family at the table with a relaxed and comfortable look.
The room was warm and quiet at the moment.
Two complicated eyes fell on him, and Mu Yuyan's autumn-like eyes turned slightly red, unable to hide the emotion in her heart!
Jingguo, this time he is completely saved!
When Gu Lan said these words, she seemed to see light from the boundless darkness!
Of course, what made Mu Yuyan cry with joy even more was that she had never misjudged anyone!
Although Gu Lan is just a scholar, her heart and character are enough to impress even the empress!
"Madam, why are you still crying?" Gu Lan looked at her intently, confused.
But even if he agreed to sell some grain, it would spoil if he couldn't eat it anyway. Are you so moved?
"No, sir, you are wrong."
Mu Yuyan didn't want to lose her composure, so she hurriedly turned away from her pretty face and pursed her lips tightly to refuse to admit it.
Gu Lan shook his head inexplicably, looked at the other two people, and said in surprise:
"Hey! Xiaoxi, why are your eyes red too?"
"Damn it, Lao Yang, just say goodbye!"
Gu Lan curled his lips, the girl looked pitiful like this, the man's expression was so disgusting!
"Sir, Lao Yang, I just thought you were so handsome when you just said you would sell it to us people at the same price, hehe..."
Lao Yang touched his scalp and smiled.
If other wealthy businessmen in Jingguo had such precious grains, they might be selling them for much more!
He was surprised that his young master, a commoner, could make such a decision, but he was also pleased!
"Ahem, I can talk!"
Gu Lan smiled and praised, and then said: "Then I'll leave this business to you. If you're too busy, let Xiao Xi help you. In two days we will open another Gu's Grain Store next to Gu's Teahouse. The first business will be Let’s sell this batch of rice seeds first.”
"Okay, sir, don't worry!"
Lao Yang patted his chest and confirmed.
...
Three days later.
Gu Lan has absorbed almost all the good things he collected from Huajian Sect.
The cultivation base is fixed at about 40,000 years.
In addition to the top-quality spiritual stones and shark beads, there is another thing that is more useful.
[Holy Object·Blazing Furnace]
When he first saw it, Gu Lan was shocked, how could Huajian Sect, a mere second-rate sect, have a holy treasure!
But taking a closer look, Gu Lan found that this thing was actually a damaged and defective product. Its spirit had been separated by life, leaving only an extremely solid body.
If the weapon's soul is destroyed, the probability of repairing it is extremely slim. No wonder it ended up gathering dust in the Huajian Sect's warehouse.
Gu Lan sighed slightly.
But it is better to put it away. After all, the material of the holy object is there, maybe it can be used one day...
In the afternoon, Gu Lan was sitting quietly in front of the window reading.
In the courtyard, the warm sunshine like broken gold fell on Mu Yuyan. She was leaning on a bamboo chair and reading the new story book "Red Mansion" written by Gu Lan for her. Her face was rosy and she was reading with gusto.
At this time, I heard Lao Yang's voice coming from outside the door.
"Master, Master!"
"Something happened to us in Dajing!"
With the national destiny declining like this, isn't it normal for something to happen to Dajing? This old Yangtou makes a fuss every day... Gu Lan's voice came faintly from the study: "You can just say it, I can hear it."
"Oh, it's like this. Didn't I open the grain farm as you said these few days? But this morning I went out to hire people. When I passed by the city gate, I found a lot of people gathered around the notice board. I thought Come over and take a look&%&*%￥#...”
"Tell the important point."
"Oh! What's posted on the bulletin board is the capital's appeal against demons. I heard that our Dajing is going to war with the demon world!"
Hearing this, Gu Lan was stunned for a moment!
Civil war?
No, why did he remember that in the original work, the war started in the fifth year of Jiaqing... Could it be because he killed a demon king, which caused the timeline to advance?
"Don't get it wrong, right? Lao Yang?"
"It's absolutely true. The capital's memorandum has been distributed to the Thirteen Prefectures, and it even has the seal of the empress on it!"
Lao Yang finished.
There was silence in the study. Gu Lan tapped his fingers on the wooden table, wondering what he was thinking.
In front of the court, Mu Yuyan was not surprised when she heard the news and continued to read "The Red Mansion" leisurely.
That's right, Liu Yexi drafted that memorandum overnight after returning to the capital in the past few days.
It not only mobilized the troops of the thirteen states of Jingguo to make early preparations, but also told the world that she, Jiaqing, was not afraid of a battle with the demon world!
Previously, I had no choice but to swallow my anger, but now that the people have the magic rice seeds planted by my husband, the wealth of our country, Jingguo, will increase several times in less than three months!
If you want to fight, then fight!
Be a soft persimmon! ?
Mu Yuyan was extremely angry!
At this time.
Seeing that Gu Lan was silent, Lao Yang hesitated and asked: "Um... Young Master, the national war is about to begin, is our grain farm still open?"
During the war years, Liangzhuang and Bank were the most dangerous. Once the war spread here, there would be no way to run away if your home was ransacked!
Lao Yang was very worried about this.
However.
After hearing this, Gu Lan smiled brightly and said, "Don't be afraid, Lao Yang, we are in Langzhou, not in the Western Region. The demon world cannot invade here."
Although the war was advanced, Gu Lan was not worried.
Because in the original work, even if the demon world raised troops in the fifth year of Jiaqing, when Jingguo's foundation was even more declining, they failed to capture the neighboring Yunzhou and Xiangzhou.
It just further eroded some of Jingguo's foundation, and both sides wasted several years in vain.
In this national war, both the demon world and Dajing suffered losses, and in the end they benefited from the rising grassroots protagonist.
"It's so stupid. The protagonist's luck can be picked up and missed no matter what."
Gu Lan silently complained at the thought, feeling quite envious.
There are two reasons for the stalemate in the national war.
First, the man from Demon Emperor City obviously overestimated the unity of his subordinates, and turned against him in the later period; second, a handsome man who had cultivated to the imperial realm appeared in Xiangzhou, he used soldiers like a god, and he almost fought back...
"Just keep the grain farm open. With the war, Jingguo's demand for grain will definitely be greater, which will make our business bigger and stronger."
Gu Lan told Lao Yang.
"Since the young master said that, let's go ahead." Old Yang Song said.
Although he didn't know why Gu Lan was so sure that the national war would not continue in Langzhou.
"Oh, yes! Remember that our grain supplies will be given priority to the military camp in Xiangzhou. By the way, I would like to ask if there is a general named Lu there... No, he may still be a pawn."
Gu Lan recalled, describing some basic information about that person.
Lao Yang was stunned when he heard this, unable to understand why he suddenly wanted to find someone.
However, he did as the young master ordered him to do, and went out after answering.
at this time.
Mu Yuyan, who was reading Xianshu, wrinkled her nose nicely when she heard the last sentence, and asked curiously: "Does Gu Lang know anyone from the Western Region?"
"It's not really acquaintance, I just...want to make some friends."
Gu Lan smiled slightly. He knew that luck in the fantasy world is very mysterious. It is said that if you make friends with people with great luck, your luck will also increase...
The pawn named Lu he was looking for was a man of great luck.
That is, the emperor-level handsome man who almost counterattacked the demon world!
Hearing what he said, Mu Yuyan became even more interested. What kind of person could make her husband want to make friends without even meeting him?
"My lord, what is that man's name? I have traveled a few years ago and know many famous people in Xiangzhou. Maybe I know him?"
Mu Yuyan dropped her book and walked into the study, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"He is not a famous person...his name is Lu Qiuxian, have you heard of him?"
Seeing Mu Yuyan shake her head in shock, Gu Lan smiled and said, "That man's story begins with this battle of Jingyao..."
