Tsk, they even have slaves to do the work. How could Gu Heng and other elders of the Gu family not be tempted?
In addition, Gu Qingcheng had already prepared a treasure ship that could travel in the deep sea and the ocean.
They only need to choose a reliable member of the Gu family, take his troops and head straight to the island, and they can bring back shiploads of silver.
The Gu man who was sent to the small island to "dig for silver" was none other than Gu Kang, the eldest son of the second branch of the Gu family.
Gu Kang is Gu Youyi's biological brother and the second child in the family.
So, he is the second son of the Gu family.
Gu Qingcheng is an ancient native, and she has a very deep clan concept.
She also positioned herself as the head of the family.
She wouldn't make superficial distinctions like first wife and second wife.
Not to mention his blood cousin, even if he was a cousin from several rooms away, as long as he was capable of great use, Gu Qingcheng would make use of him.
On the contrary, it was Gu Youyi. She was Gu Kang's biological sister, but there was no Gu family in her heart at all.
He never thought of using his "prophethood" to seek benefits for his father and brothers.
Perhaps, in her opinion, as long as she ascended to the throne and became the supreme woman who ruled the country, she would be the greatest contributor to the family.
Everything else doesn’t matter.
Gu Youyi always blamed her family for being partial to her, especially after the entire Gu family suddenly disappeared in the Northern Dynasty, she was filled with resentment towards the entire Gu family.
She swore in her heart more than once: Just wait, when I become the queen, I will never let you get any benefit from me.
What is Cheng'en Gong?
What are descendants and in-laws?
None of this has anything to do with the Gu family.
Gu Qingcheng: ...This person is not only stupid, but also selfish.
He does not seek benefits for his family, but still gets full support from his family.
The relationship between individuals and families is mutually reinforcing, isn't it?
For example, Gu Qingcheng never distinguished between the first wife and the second wife.
Nor will they deliberately care about the direct branch or the side branch.
As long as they are members of the Gu family and have reliable character and abilities, Gu Qingcheng will not hesitate to report them.
Just like "developing" that island, what an important thing.
It's not just about money, it's also about overseas layout.
Gu Qingcheng didn't say it explicitly, but the elders like Gu Heng, who were shrewd and far-sighted, all saw the key to this step -
If the Gu family fails in the battle for the world, there is a small island overseas that can serve as a retreat.
The Gu family will not be exterminated, and they even have a chance to make a comeback.
Therefore, the island is not only a money bag, but also the last resort for the Gu family.
If the person sent is not reliable enough, it will affect the safety of the entire Gu family.
If Gu Qingcheng was a little narrow-minded and selfish, when choosing someone to go to the island, she would choose her own brother who was born to the same mother.
But, Gu Qingcheng didn’t!
She chose her second cousin.
She has the entire family in her heart and has the broad mind of a patriarch of a large family.
This is very convincing, and makes people want to follow it involuntarily.
Just like Gu Ji, he is Gu Youyi's biological father and he loves his only daughter very much.
However, when he needed to choose between Gu Qing and Gu Youyi, Gu Ji firmly chose his niece.
It’s not that he doesn’t love his daughter, but Gu Ji knows very well that his daughter is too selfish and outgoing.
If Gu Youyi were to gain power, she would never give back to the Gu family and take care of her relatives.
Gu Ji knew his identity. He was not only his daughter's father, but also his sons' father and a member of the Gu family.
And all of Gu Qingcheng's subsequent actions convinced Gu Ji and other relatives that their choice was right!
For example, Gu Kang was excited but also touched when he received such an important task.
He swore that he would manage the island well.
Later, Gu Kang did the same.
He led his troops and boarded a treasure ship to the island.
Gu Kang really saw the savage that his cousin had mentioned. He was short and ugly, even more barbaric than a barbarian.
The barbarians in the Middle Earth simply lack the education of the kingly way, and their appearance is no different from that of the people in the Celestial Empire.
And those savages are like monkeys in the mountains.
Not of my kind.
Gu Kang was originally a child of a noble family. When he met a monkey-like savage, he was even more ruthless and merciless.
"Capture them all and make them mine slaves!"
Mining!
Farming!
...Gu Kang handed over all the rough and tiring work that his family members were reluctant to do to these mining slaves.
If Gu Kang is tough and ruthless enough, he can achieve results in a short period of time.
Just two months after he arrived on the island, he began to transport a shipload of silver back to the base camp.
The Gu family was able to have the strength to support Chen Duan and quickly replace him after Chen Duan betrayed them, not only because of Gu Qingcheng's accumulation in Lingnan over the years, but also because of the "gift" from the island!
With the "success" of this small island, Gu's fleet began to explore deeper waters.
Mu Xiu became the leader of this fleet.
In the past year, in addition to exploring the surrounding waters, he has been urging the shipyard to continue building treasure ships and training more crew members.
Lingnan has a very long coastline, and the fishing villages along the coastal prefectures and counties are home to a large number of young people who are good at swimming.
And the wolf soldiers trained by Gu Qingcheng...
Mu Xiu's fleet, although called a merchant caravan, was actually a powerful maritime force.
Mu Xiu has already figured out several sea routes near the coast, and he can launch a thundering attack at the command of Gu Qingcheng.
"...Okay! Wait for Senior Brother Mu to come back and make a plan!"
