Xuzhou North
Qin Sheng led a large force to the north of Xuzhou and had a fierce battle with the local evil forces. Fortunately, they won.
Qin Sheng asked people to touch the other party's den, but they didn't get much property.
Generally speaking, this nest of evil forces is just a small miscellaneous fish, with more spines and less meat.
At this moment, Xue Xu received the news, "Nanyang Earth Dragon has turned over?"
Qin Sheng wiped his face for a moment, thinking that the emperor was going to be in trouble now.
"The news must be sent back to Liaodong County as soon as possible." Xue Xu said while laying out the paper.
"Um."
Southland, Gu family
Gu Huaisheng drank his second cup of tea and asked, "Where is the second young master?"
"Back to the young master, we have arrived at the east city gate."
"Um."
After receiving the news that Mr. Ji and his brother had returned to Nandi, he sat in the living room and waited for his brother.
Xie Zhan came to visit three days ago. He hasn't slept well in the past few days. He is now eager to know Liaodong County's attitude towards their Gu family.
The servants were also muttering in their hearts, what happened to the young master? Do you think so of the Second Young Master? From the moment Er Shao got off the boat, he kept asking him where he was. Also, it is the first time for the Second Young Master to travel far away, so it is normal for the Young Master to be worried.
Two quarters of an hour later, Gu Huaisheng asked again, "Where is the second young master?"
"Back to Young Master, Second Young Master is back and has already entered the gate!"
"Young Master, the second young master has entered the second gate."
As soon as the servant finished replying, Gu Er's figure appeared. He stepped into the threshold and said, "Brother, I'm back!"
"You're back? Are you tired? Have a sip of tea first." Gu Huaisheng poured him a cup of tea with his own hands.
Gu Er picked up the tea cup and drank two cups before waving his hand and saying enough.
Gu Huaisheng asked, "How about you go to Liaodong County?"
"Brother, you don't know, the people in Liaodong County are too much!" Speaking of this, Gu Er was full of complaints.
When Gu Huaisheng heard this, his eyelids jumped.
"How do you say this?" Gu Huaisheng asked this and felt that his throat was very dry.
Gu Er was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about what to say.
Gu Huaisheng encouraged him, "Second brother, start from the beginning and speak slowly."
"Okay, brother, let me start from the beginning. That day, Mr. Ji and I just arrived in Liaodong County and got off the boat at Fangxian County Pier. Wu Ren probably thought we were an eyesore. As soon as we got off the boat, we were Please go to Houcheng first."
"Wu Ren probably stayed to deal with the silver grain and didn't want us to know. Brother, they are guarding against us."
Gu Huaisheng listened, with veins pounding in his forehead, and he wanted to ask him, what else?
But he endured it, "What's next?"
"Later we arrived in Houcheng and lived in the courtyard arranged by them. Wu Ren entertained us all the time. We never saw the leader of Houcheng."
"Any more?"
"And..." Gu Er immediately talked about the fact that his request after seeing Ji's Commercial Building was rejected.
Gu Huaisheng felt that he couldn't bear it any longer, so he still asked gently, "How much money did you invest in Liaodong County this time?"
"I just bought something worth ten thousand taels for my own sake." Gu Er couldn't hide his pride when he talked about this. He didn't want Liaodong County to take advantage of them.
"Where's Mr. Ji? How much did it cost?"
"He probably spent 70,000 to 80,000 taels."
Snapped!
Gu Huaisheng couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him directly.
"Brother!" Gu Er couldn't believe it.
Gu Huaisheng said sternly, "You make your own decision! Do you still remember what I told you before setting off to Liaodong County?"
Gu Er thought about it, thinking about what he did in Liaodong County, and he panicked, "Brother, what I remember is that Liaodong County neglected our Gu family too much, and I won't accept it."
"What do you know? You're useless, I shouldn't have entrusted you with important responsibilities!" Gu Huaisheng was really angry at this moment.
When Gu Er and Ji Dashao went north, the chaos in the Southland had just ended. He needed to stay in the Southland to guard against Xie Zhan. He believed that Ji Wuyin had the same idea as him.
Gu Er's original intention was to make good friends with Liaodong County by asking Gu Er to take a large sum of money and go north to Liaodong County. Firstly, Gu Er's status is sufficient, and secondly, he just spends money to show his goodwill and let the relationship between the two parties get off to a good start.
Later, he took over and slowly managed the relationship between the two parties.
Gu Huaisheng felt that everything should be done step by step. How could it be possible to get the best out of the first step?
"Brother, I..." Gu Er still wanted to defend.
Gu Huaisheng didn't want to hear it at all, "Get out, get out of here!"
Gu Er saw Gu Huaisheng's dark expression and hurried out.
In the hall, Gu Huaisheng had a headache. After Gu Er went out, he sat there for two quarters of an hour before he got up and walked out of the door.
On the third day after Xie Zhan came to visit, Gu Huaisheng went to see his grandfather.
His father died young due to illness, and his grandfather had always been the head of the Gu family. When he was twelve years old, he confirmed the identity of the young master.
He has grown up over the years and is gradually able to stand on his own. His grandfather has gradually transferred the power to him and retired behind the scenes to take care of himself.
Although he is now the young master of the Gu family, he is actually no different from the head of the family.
He explained Xie Zhan's reason for coming and what Gu Er did in Liaodong County to his grandfather in detail.
After hearing this, his grandfather took a long time and said to him, "Help me write a post for Xie Zhan."
"Grandpa, do you want to see Xie Zhan?" Gu Huaisheng was surprised.
"Um."
…
Lu Songli received the news that Nanyang Earth Dragon had turned over.
Nanyang has been a granary since ancient times. Nanyang encountered an earth dragon, and I heard it was very serious.
She estimated that the government's granaries were damaged and buried underground, and the grain was basically scrapped.
Lu Songli thought to herself that it was a pity to miss the new food. Next, food prices are expected to rise again.
As she expected, the news of Nanyang Earth Dragon's comeback spread.
In recent times, food prices, which had dropped due to the arrival of new grains from various places, have risen again.
Qin Sheng and his large troops entered the south of Qingzhou.
The imperial court probably wanted to calm the people's minds, and soon the news came out that the emperor had sent two imperial envoys, Zhang Xian, Zuo Anmin, to set off from Chang'an to Nanyang with food and supplies for disaster relief.
Xue Xu secretly wondered, Zhang Xian was actually the chief officer who went to Nanyang to provide disaster relief?
"Master Liu, I want to leave 10,000 shi of grain in Qingzhou." There is also a branch of the Ji family in Qingzhou, so if the grain is stored there, it won't be a big problem.
He didn't know if Mrs. Qin Liu would take action. Nanyang was bound to be short of food, so he should take the initiative here.
After hearing Xue Xu's idea, Qin Sheng thought about it and said, "Leave twenty thousand stones."
Xue Xu gave him a thumbs up, "You have courage."
