"No, no, no, Young Master Gu, this isn't just my need. Other places like the Goddess Kingdom and the Jin Nan Kingdom have the same idea. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to ask them." Azahan shook his head and waved his hands, his Mandarin of the Great Zhou Dynasty still not very fluent.
“Sure, take my brother and me to see how many people need it. If there are a lot of people, I can also pass on the message to my father. You know, my father is usually very busy and doesn’t come to the West District very often,” Gu Xin said.
Then Azahan took Gu Xin and Gu Si to the trading area.
In the current trading area, besides the food street built by the Gu family, there is also a long row of stalls for business people from neighboring countries to set up their stalls.
When the businessmen from the neighboring country saw that Azahan had brought Gu Xin and Gu Si, they started talking all at once about their own hardships after hearing what Azahan said.
Gu Xin summarized that what these people meant was that going back from Kuncheng was too far, and the hotels in Kuncheng didn't have enough rooms, so they often had to sleep outdoors, which was very inconvenient.
They also hoped to have a fixed place to live, just like the merchants of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past, who would stay in Kuncheng and restock their goods every now and then.
It must be said that the things the Gu family produced this year deeply attracted the neighboring countries. They thought that all places in the Great Zhou were like this, but little did they know that they had come into contact with these things before the people of the Great Zhou.
For example, people from neighboring countries can definitely buy glass bottles before people from the Great Zhou. And fruit too, because it's not far here, it can be transported back and still be eaten, unlike in the Great Zhou, where it's much farther away, and by the time it's sent back, the fruit has wilted.
Some of these people find it troublesome, and if possible, they would all like to buy a house in Kuncheng New Town.
Gu Xin immediately refused, saying that unless they were willing to join the Great Zhou and acknowledge themselves as Great Zhou citizens, she would not easily let them pass through Kuncheng.
These people would naturally not openly say they would abandon their country to join the Great Zhou, although some of them had already begun to think that way.
After listening to people talk for about half an hour, Gu Xin had a better understanding of the situation. She told everyone that two days later, regardless of whether Lord Gu agreed or not, they would receive a definite answer. At that time, someone from the yamen would come to the West District to make a special explanation.
Gu Xin and Gu Si did all this in the morning. When they went home for lunch together, Gu Si mentioned that she was also very curious about the world outside the West Gate.
They had been there for a year, visiting in all three directions—east, south, and north—but had never left the west gate.
Peng's army truly defended Kuncheng, not only protecting people from other countries but also protecting the people of the Great Zhou.
Of course, if the Gu family wanted to befriend people from other countries, there were ways to do so, just like the previous magistrate, Lord Hu. He not only befriended people from other countries but also sent out the city defense map, causing the Peng family to lose thousands of soldiers.
Gu Xin was also very curious about the area outside the West Gate. She and her sister had interacted with merchants from other countries the most. The Great Zhou Dynasty was vast and rich in resources, but those small countries each had their own unique characteristics, and it was natural to be curious if you had never seen them before.
The two sisters planned to talk to Gu Shouxin about this at noon.
When I got home, lunch was already prepared. Today was Gu Xin's birthday, so lunch was more lavish than usual, with several of Gu Xin's favorite dishes.
Gu Xin pulled out her usual line, "You are all my favorite people," and after finishing her meal, she talked to Gu Shouxin about it, with Gu Si adding to the conversation.
