Gu Qingcheng, a talented woman of her generation and a virtuous empress, was reborn. She refused to repeat the path of glory from her previous life. What's this about "inner beauty shines t...
Gu Qingcheng chose a fishing village not far from the sea.
Luozhou is already poor, and the land in the provincial capital and county town is worthless, not to mention a small fishing village with almost no people.
Luozhou Governor: ...This little girl from the Gu family is really a child. She only knows that the beach is fun, but she doesn’t know that such a place is too remote and there will be natural disasters such as hurricanes.
The same is true of Lord You'an, who is famous all over the world, but he dotes on his children so much.
Settling down is such a big deal, but I actually have to listen to the arrangements of a six-year-old girl.
"Okay! Just do as Lord Youan wishes!"
The governor of Luozhou complained secretly, but appeared to agree on the surface.
He was very cooperative and extremely generous—
With a swipe of his hands, he actually gave the entire large fishing village to the Gu family.
Of course, the Gu family is also open-minded enough and is not the kind of common people who take advantage of others.
He ordered people to carry a box of copper coins and bought the entire fishing village and the surrounding wasteland at the "market price".
The governor of Luozhou originally wanted to do a favor, but unexpectedly made a small profit.
The Gu family acted generously, and the Luozhou governor was even more generous. "Your family will not need to pay taxes on the wasteland they reclaimed for three years."
"If you need people to build a house or a farm, I can help your family mobilize manpower..."
The governor of Luozhou generously offered a favor. All he had to do was say it, and he didn't have to put in any effort or spend any money. How great!
Gu Heng bowed and said, "Thank you, Governor!"
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Gu Qingcheng began to make arrangements.
Zheng Moxian came to say goodbye.
He was the official in charge of "escorting" Gu Heng. Now he has successfully sent him to Lingnan and obtained a receipt from the Luozhou official office.
His mission was officially over.
It's time for Zheng Mo to return to Beijing.
It took half a year to complete, but it was finally completed.
Zheng Mo had been looking forward to leaving.
The Gu family had just found a place to settle down when Zheng Mo came to say goodbye in a hurry.
"Thank you for your help along the way, General Zhonglang!"
Gu Heng was still somewhat grateful to Zheng Mo.
No matter what their reason was, it did provide convenience to the grandparents and grandchildren.
This is human nature.
"You are too polite, Lord You'an! Normally, I should escort you to the fishing village, but I have other official business to attend to, so I can't delay."
Having successfully completed the mission, Zheng Mo was in a good mood and was happy to say some polite words.
After a few pleasantries, Zheng Mo bowed and said goodbye. He then mounted his horse and rode away with his thousand-bull guards.
Watching Zheng Mo and his group leave, Gu Heng sighed deeply——
Everything in the capital has nothing to do with him anymore.
Gu Qingcheng, however, had no mood to feel sad or melancholy. She was busy making various preparations.
Gu Qingcheng had already learned from the clerk at the Governor's Mansion that the fishing village called Moon Bay had just experienced a hurricane.
The few people who lived there to begin with all fled, leaving only ruins on the ground.
Occasionally there are remaining houses, but they are dilapidated and uninhabitable.
Of course, even if those houses were intact, the Gu family could not compromise given their status.
Must be rebuilt!
Gu Qingcheng also got a simple map from the clerk and knew that the fishing village was not far from the county town.
Then we will go to the county town first, settle down temporarily, and then transfer people to Moon Bay to build houses.
However, in order to prevent the county town from being too remote and supplies from being expensive and scarce, Gu Qingcheng decided to make a large purchase before leaving the provincial capital.
It just so happened that the supplies purchased previously had been almost used up, leaving two or three ox carts free.
Gu Qingcheng filled all the ox carts again in the capital city.
Gu Qingcheng ordered people to purchase meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and various daily necessities.
After staying in the provincial capital for three days, the governor of Luozhou began to have doubts, and the Gu family's convoy started to move again.
After receiving the news, the Luozhou governor climbed up to the city gate tower and watched a group of people leave from a high vantage point.
"Huh? Why are there still so many people?"
"As expected of a noble family! Even after being exiled to Lingnan, they still have such a grand ceremony!"
The governor of Luozhou, who came from a humble family, had a common problem shared by most people of this era: admiration for aristocratic families!
"Those people should be the Gu family's followers."
"Oh, I heard they need maids. Tsk, tsk, a six-year-old girl has twenty or thirty maids serving her..."
The governor of Luozhou watched and sighed.
In fact, the governor of Luozhou really misunderstood.
Most of the Gu family's followers, slaves, etc. were taken to the Northern Dynasty by Gu Yi.
Gu Heng only brought a few old servants with him, and Gu Qingcheng originally only had two or three maids around her.
There are less than ten people in the group.
It was only when Gu Qingcheng made the request herself halfway that Gu Heng wrote to his son to ask for some guest girls.
But, that’s all!
Gu Heng and Gu Yi both knew very well that although the Southern Dynasty was the foundation of their Gu family, there was no room for the Gu family to develop.
If we continue to focus on the Southern Dynasty, we will only end up being suppressed by powerful officials and gradually decline.
On the contrary, in the Northern Dynasty, there is still hope for the family to rise again.
Therefore, most of the Gu family's accumulation over hundreds of years was taken to the Northern Dynasty by Gu Yi, Princess Jiangling and others.
Gu Heng and Gu Qingcheng only have a very small part of it.
At this moment, the Gu family's convoy looked very grand, but there was another reason.
Zheng Mo left, but the knights did not leave.
Thirty or forty rangers, each armed, mixed in with the Gu family's convoy, were quite intimidating.
