Chapter 762 Chapter 764. Turning over

Gu Yi did not stay in Gaoling Village for a few days. After visiting all the elders and listening to the old man's instructions for a few days, he left in a hurry with his parents.

They had to return to Yongchang County before the wedding.

Gu Shulin and Dai Ling were a little nervous on the way. They surrounded Gu Yi and kept asking questions.

"This Hou family married their daughter off for a lower price, but the betrothal gifts we gave are also limited. Is this really okay?"

"I don't know if the girl from the Hou family is easy to get along with. She has such a good family background that even I, as her mother-in-law, am a little nervous."

“I don’t know if your seventh brother and the others will have to pay anything to help you find such a good marriage?

At home, with the old man around, I didn’t dare ask, so now I really owe him a big favor.”

“…”

Gu Yi felt like his head was about to explode when he heard questions one after another.

"Dad, Mom, I have met the daughter of the Hou family once, and Manager Minghai has also checked for me. I heard that she is a very good girl.

In addition, although her family is a century-old family, she still needs help from her seventh brother.

You don’t have to be so nervous, just relax.”

In fact, Gu Yi was also feeling very nervous, and even now, he still felt like he was in a dream.

But along the way, the two old men were very anxious, so he could only pick out some good things to say.

Gu Shulin sighed, "In the future, you should stay with your seventh brother and learn more. We have nothing to repay him for. We can only help him take care of the clan in the future.

The best way to help him is to keep the rear area stable. You must remember this."

Gu Shulin is grateful for Gu Wenheng's dedication and care for the clan over the years.

Ever since Gu Wenheng entered the officialdom, the entire Gu family has undergone earth-shaking changes.

They should be grateful for the life they have today.

Gu Shulin kept teaching his son along the way how to manage the tribe members and be a fair and steady tribe leader.

He also told him about the various relationships within the tribe, and even mentioned the personalities of some people.

Gu Yi's future life has already been determined, and he also knows that he will take on the position of clan leader.

Now that his father is teaching him, Gu Yi also takes everything to heart.

Gu Wenheng didn't know that his and Jin Qianqian's unintentional action had secured the Gu family a good patriarch who was devoted to the clan.

He is now busy again. Although the terraced fields were tax-exempt in the past three years, it has invisibly promoted various developments. This year, the tax revenue of Yi Province is finally not in deficit.

Looking at the statistical figures, the governor, Liang Shi, paced back and forth excitedly.

"Every year when I report on my work, I get scolded. This year, I finally feel confident." Liang Shi even clapped his hands excitedly. "I've finally turned things around."

You know, the reason why he stayed in this position for so long was because of this problem.

Yisheng was so poor that they could not bring about any change despite trying every possible means.

This was all thanks to the emperor's wisdom in identifying talent and sending Gu Wenheng over, which finally gave him a chance to turn things around.

The officials below were also very excited. This time, what they had done had been reported to the emperor, and their credit was already a done deal.

Even if there is suppression from above, they dare not be too harsh.

"Master Gu," Wu Haicong said with a flattering smile, "What arrangements do you have next? Please let us know. Leave the running errands to us."

Li Mingyun on the side also said in a humorous tone, "Yes, just tell us what you want us to do. Even if you want us to move into the government office, we will do it."

Seeing how servile they were, Cen Gaosong couldn't bring himself to lose face, so he could only cough and say, "If there are not enough people, I will capture all the servants in the mansion."

Thinking of this transfer, Cen Gaosong's anger finally subsided a little.

No matter how much those people suppress me, no one can change my official career.

Once his three-year term is up, he can imagine himself taking another step forward.

Gu Wenheng, "There's no rush now, let's focus on the terraced fields first.

As long as the people have money in their hands, other industries will gradually prosper.

It’s a pity that after three years, I don’t know whether the gentlemen present here will still be able to see the earth-shaking changes in Yi Province.”

Gu Wenheng's words were like a knife stabbing them in the chest. They are working hard now, but by the time their three-year term is up and they really have their highlight moment, they may have been transferred.

Thinking of the land that has grown exponentially, the tax revenue will be an astronomical figure in three years.

"What a loss! Isn't this letting others take advantage of me?" Wu Haicong no longer cared about his image and stood there hopping, "No, I have to take root in this place. No one can transfer me away."

"Heh, do you think this is possible?" Cen Gaosong's face was full of displeasure when he thought of the past.

There are too many people who rely on connections and try to take credit for things. He had made some achievements with great difficulty back then, but was later transferred here by someone else.

Even if others cannot take away their credit this time, there are many people waiting to reap the benefits in the future.

"Master Gu," Li Mingyun looked at Gu Wenheng expectantly, "Is there no other way?"

Gu Wenheng just gave everyone a heads-up in advance. He sighed and said, "I think you have heard about how I was in Lucheng before. When my three-year term was up, I was transferred to this place."

Moreover, he had a premonition that when the three-year period was up, the current ruler would definitely give him problems again.

Sometimes he wanted to slack off and not do such an outstanding job.

But when he saw the people struggling down there, he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"What is this?" Wu Haicong was also in distress. "I have to give away half of the credit I've earned. It makes me feel bad just thinking about it."

No matter how much we lament over here, everyone just complains verbally. This kind of thing cannot be avoided and we can only accept it silently.

The beginning is already so perfect, there is no way to give up halfway.

Regardless of any selfish motives, at this moment, everyone just wants to keep going.

Jin Qianqian has slowed down her pace now, but with the stable income at hand, she makes big profits every quarter.

Looking at the account books and banknotes that were sent over, Jin Qianqian counted and checked the numbers, then stuffed them directly into the space.

"You are not as obsessed with money as before." Gu Wenheng teased.

Jin Qianqian said with a distressed look, "These banknotes are just a pile of paper to me now. If someone hears me saying this, will I be beaten up when I go out?"

Gu Wenheng tapped her forehead lightly and said, "You are so pretentious. Don't you realize that the amount in the account book sent by Lucheng is a little wrong?"

Jin Qianqian, "How come I didn't find it? I just don't know how to solve it.

It just so happens that you also know about this matter, let’s discuss it.”
