As the three Gu sisters led Gu Chengyun step by step into the pit dug by Gu Shouxin, Gu Shouxin and General Peng finalized the location of Kuncheng Wharf.
Kuncheng Wharf was located next to Jieyou Pavilion.
Gu Shouxin and Hua Shiyi Niang have reached an agreement: the government will requisition the Jieyou Pavilion and provide it with a larger courtyard.
Now the girls at Jieyou Pavilion no longer need to sell themselves. They just sing and dance every day. Their identities have changed, so they are naturally willing to move to a new place to live.
Construction on the dock will begin at the end of the month.
At the same time, the scope of the expansion of Kuncheng to the east has also been determined.
The city gates were built along with the streets, and the people had already been recruited, leading to a rapid increase in the population of Kuncheng.
On October 30th, another imperial decree arrived, and Gu Si was granted the title of Princess Roushan for her meritorious service in discovering the salt lake, placing her on the same level as Gu Nian and Gu Xin.
At the same time, Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, Uncle Gu, and Madam Zhang were rewarded with land and gold and silver for their good teaching of their daughter.
The fields and gold and silver here are all located around the capital. The Gu family isn't here, but the imperial family will send people to manage them.
Things are slowly progressing in the direction expected.
November arrived quickly.
Gu Chengyun has been in Kuncheng for several days now. Although he hasn't managed to extract any tea-growing techniques from the Gu family yet, he has signed an agreement with them using his own seal.
They traded their tea garden for the land where the Gu family grew tea.
This was agreed upon beforehand. In order to ensure authenticity and a genuine exchange, the agreement was witnessed by General Peng and General Peng Da, and it is legally binding.
After acquiring a plot of land from the Gu family in Sanchakou Village, Gu Chengyun bid farewell to the Gu family and immediately set off for Sanchakou Village with his entourage.
He wanted to check out the environment there, and then have tea trees transported from Fuzhou to the area. If the tea trees were good, he would persuade his family to buy land in Sanchakou Village and build a tea garden in Qingzhou.
As for Sanchakou Village, Gu Shouxin had already sent people back to plant tea trees after Gu Chengyun took the bait. They brought trees with roots and nutrient solution from Kuncheng to guard and monitor Gu Chengyun's every move.
This nutrient solution was meant to keep the tea trees alive on the way. Gu Shouxin didn't give them too much; he just wanted them to survive until they reached Sanchakou Village.
Of course, he also arranged for people to be on the estate, pretending to be guarding it, and then brought out tea for Gu Chengyun to taste.
Most people wouldn't expect someone to go to such lengths to scheme against them, so Gu Chengyun would never suspect anything at that point.
If his family doesn't believe it, fine, come and pick the best of the best tea leaves yourself next year when you pick them. Then you'll believe it!
...
After Gu Chengyun left, Gu Xin and the other two went back to their work.
The clothing store on the snack street opened, and the exquisite outfits and unique jewelry captivated women from several countries.
Girls from the Goddess Kingdom and the Golden South Kingdom got into a fight over a piece of jewelry that they both wanted.
Two wealthy and arrogant girls almost broke someone's window. Gu Xin was furious. She had decided to behave herself like a gentle young lady, but they insisted on taking action. It was too much.
After subduing the two girls, Gu Xin told the shop assistant that she would not serve them anymore. If the two girls insisted on coming in to buy something, fine, they should first deposit a hundred taels of gold or a top-quality jade. Otherwise, with such destructive power, what if they broke their windows?
