Chapter 107 Juzhou

"But it's also useful to share it with us. If we are short of people, your second uncle and I will go to help. A few cents a month will be enough." The uncle gradually came to his senses.

In my uncle's opinion, they are just an ordinary farming family, so how can they get dividends for free?

"Uncle, that's not how you say it, and that's not how you do it. Taohua Village is a collective, and the Gu family is a big family. Whether it's a collective or a big family, only when everyone works together can things get better and better. Otherwise, if I'm the only one jumping around, I'll end up exhausted and nothing will happen."

"So, for the future of our Gu family, our family must grow up. The children can go to school, the adults can raise ducks and fish and farm, the grandparents can enjoy their retirement, and the eldest cousin can become the manager. By then, everyone will have their own abilities and skills, and everyone will be able to earn money. Why would we still worry about not being able to make ends meet after the family splits up?"

Gu Jiayue knew that what she said was a little incomplete, but this was all she could think of in the short term.

"Okay, I'm going to take the kids to the state capital for a couple of days. Think carefully about what I said these few days. Especially my eldest cousin, you're the eldest grandson, and the Gu family will still rely on you. Only when you stand up for yourself will the future of the Gu family be bright."

"You know better than anyone else what kind of person you are and what abilities you possess. Before, you had no choice but to farm. But now you have other options. Don't you want to start a new path?"

"Of course. First and foremost, you are the eldest grandson of the Gu family. I'm saying this today to give you a chance to make a choice. Whether you choose to continue farming or manage the workshop, I support you."

Having said that, Gu Jiayue couldn't help but turn her head to look at Gu Yuchuan who was squatting in the corner playing with ants.

Oh, my second brother who was supposed to be smart and clever.

If it weren't for that accident, the Gu family might have been established long ago.

"Second sister, we are all ready. When are we leaving?" Gu Yuhe asked impatiently while standing beside the carriage at the gate, holding Zhang Chuyan with one hand and Sun Hai next door with the other.

"I'm coming." Gu Jiayue responded outside and then turned back. "Brother, don't feel any pressure. Just stay home and think about it. I'll help take care of your sister-in-law for two days."

"Grandpa and grandma, let's go. I'll bring you some delicious food."

This time when she went to the provincial capital, Gu Jiayue brought all the grandchildren of the Gu family except Gu Yushan.

It wasn't that she didn't want to take him with her on purpose, it was that she didn't want to go. Ever since Gu Jiayue said those words, Gu Yushan was like a stuck tape, stunned.

Zhao Xing'er was a little worried and wanted to stay home with him, but Gu Jiayue said not to worry, he was in the process of reshaping his worldview and might even be able to update the system, which was a good thing.

In this way, Zhao Xing'er was pulled onto the carriage and headed towards the provincial capital.

The capital of Juzhou Prefecture is many times more prosperous than the county town of Annan.

Along the long bluestone streets, bronze bells tremble softly from the eaves. The aroma of roasted mutton fat wafts from the unfurling wine banners of the mansions. The camel bells of the caravan roll over thousand-year-old ruts, crushing the lingering notes of the storytelling in the teahouses.

In front of the silk shop, the noble lady's skirt fluttered like clouds, and her embroidered shoes stepped on the amber galaxy poured out by the sugar painting artist.

Before the night watchman woke up, thirty-six rows of lanterns had already climbed up the corners of the watchtowers, the sound of pipa playing and tearing silk filled the brothels, and the dusty official sedan chair competed with drunken horses for the road, running over the ground covered with sesame seeds that looked like broken gold.

The masts of the canal boats under Zhou Bridge, loaded with Lingnan lychees and Western wine, blend their lights into the boiling sea of ​​stars in the canal.

From the moment they entered the city gate, the little ones kept their mouths shut, exclaiming in amazement all the way.

Only Gu Jiayue looked pale.

No matter how many times she walked this road, she always felt like dying.

People who suffer from motion sickness really can’t afford to suffer.

“The first thing I’ll do when I have money is build roads!”

Unfortunately, no one could understand her sadness. Gu Yuhe pulled her arm and shook it. "Second sister, where is your shop?"

Gu Jiayue suddenly felt even more dizzy. She quickly grabbed Gu Yuhe's rebellious hand. "Don't worry, Hu Zi said it's on Zhengyang Street, but I've never been to the capital. If you want to know how far it is, just ask Hu Zi."

After hearing what was said, Gu Yuhe couldn't wait to lift the curtain of the carriage, bent down and went out to sit side by side with Hu Zi, the driver.

"Brother Huzi, how far is our destination?"

Hu Zi pointed ahead. "It's not far. Turn left and you'll see it."

Hu Zi's voice was not loud, but it was just loud enough to carry into the carriage. The already excited crowd crowded around the small window to look out.

At the intersection of Zhengyang Street and Zhuque Street, there is a three-story restaurant.

But that was before. Last month, it was bought by a wealthy businessman from Kyoto. He spent a month tinkering with it and transformed it into something they had never seen before.

Every time they passed by, people would look in with great curiosity. But although people kept coming in and out every day, the doors around were all closed, and no one could see what was happening inside.

The less we see, the more we speculate.

We started recruiting waiters and accountants ten days ago, which attracted many people to apply.

Some people initially just wanted to see what the boss was up to, but in the end they were attracted by the high salary and got a job.

Today we heard that the store is finally going to open to customers, and everyone called their friends over to see what kind of store it is.

But they waited for a long time and the shopkeeper didn't open for business.

"Boss, what do you mean? Aren't we opening the shop today?"

"That's right, why don't you open the door and let us in."

"Could it be some dirty thing that is unpleasant to others?"

Kangzi looked at the people around him, bowing repeatedly. "Dear guests, our shop is opening today, but the auspicious time has not yet arrived, so please wait a little longer. Today, everyone who comes into the shop will receive a 10% discount. It's my kind gesture."

Kangzi was a master at business. The crowd, who had been keeping the store closed until now, suddenly calmed down when they heard they could get a discount.

Regardless of whether they will buy it later, at this moment they feel that they have gotten a good deal.

And Kangzi is very confident that no one can refuse the things in their store.

I don’t know what’s going on in the lady’s brain; she can think of so many weird things.

He has been with the prince since he was a child and has been in and out of the palace countless times. He can be considered a worldly-wise person.

But facing these things made by the young lady, Kangzi still felt like a frog in a well.

"Miss, there are too many people in front and the carriage can't get in." Hu Zi looked at the crowd not far away and tried his best to control the carriage, fearing that the horse would suddenly go crazy and trample on the people.

"No problem, we're already here, we can just walk in."

She took her brothers and sisters out of the carriage and pushed through the crowd to squeeze in.

When Kangzi raised his eyes, he saw the young lady coming with her younger brothers and sisters.

Seeing him raising his leg to come over, Gu Jiayue quickly stopped him.
