Chapter 585 587. Change of Hand
Jin Qianqian was also a little worried. She had finally managed to live a comfortable life, and she didn't want to move to another place and go back to the days before liberation.
"Should I ask someone?" Jin Qianqian was already thinking whether she should write a letter to her friends who went to Beijing.
After all, they are better informed than us and may be able to lend a hand at a critical moment.
Gu Wenheng, "That's not necessary. Right now, it's best for us to do nothing."
Jin Qianqian didn't know the officialdom. "Alas, I don't know where I will go next time. Everything else is fine, but moving is really troublesome."
Even though some important things had been transported away before and she put some back in the space, if she really had to pack them up, there would probably be another long queue when she returned.
"Will the other three adults also be transferred this time?"
Gu Wenheng, "The positions here will probably be vacated, and I will take some people with me. You can ask the escort agency to prepare in advance."
Over the years, he has also cultivated some confidants. Now that he is leaving, he naturally has to take his family with him, so he has to make preparations in advance.
Jin Qianqian, "This group is really too big. Do you think we should split it into several groups?"
Gu Wenheng also thought it made sense. Traveling like this would really be a bit conspicuous. The two discussed the travel arrangements and then went their separate ways.
Lichun and the other older girls have already found their partners, and this time when we move to another place, we will hold their wedding.
The ones they chose were all from the Ming generation who were well known to them. Even after getting married, they would still serve as housekeepers under her.
"Madam, you are the one who facilitated this maritime trade. Are you really willing to give it up?" Lidong knew the master's plan and started to complain.
Jin Qianqian, "You can only gain something if you lose something. Besides, we are all leaving here. If we continue to hold on, others will feel uncomfortable. Why bother?"
It would be better to take advantage of the good momentum now and withdraw in time.
I can take this opportunity to sell it at a good price, and avoid having to worry about this matter in the future.
Jin Qianqian still has this confidence. Even if there is no maritime trade line, she can still explore more trade routes.
Anyway, the news has already been spread, now it depends on who is willing to invest.
During the voyage two years ago, everyone was actually taking a wait-and-see attitude.
No one expected that in just a few months they would return with full loads, and the three ships were packed with cargo.
This also allowed those who followed her to invest for the first time to earn more than five times the return.
Now everyone went crazy, trying to find ways to get some benefits from her.
It’s a pity that she has already given the lion’s share, so even if these people want to do something, they have to think twice.
In just over two years, she made a fortune from maritime trade.
After the master said so, the other maids calmed down even if they were upset.

Gu Wenheng came to the yamen as usual. Ever since the law city got on the right track, everyone wanted to recruit people to make more money, and the original trivial disputes became less frequent.
"Master Gu," He Gaofei walked over with a smile on his face when he saw Gu Wenheng coming in, "The seedlings have been planted now, and it's drizzling today. It looks like this will be another good year."
Gu Wenheng, "Spring rain is as precious as oil. This is true. Now if I finish the things on hand, I can also take some time to sort out the things in the backyard."
In the early spring of the year before last, the wives of He Gaofei and his friends finally came along.
The quarrels and quarrels in the past two years have also added some life to them.
"Alas, the family has been marginalized now. I don't know where we will be transferred this time. It is unknown whether we will have the opportunity to work together in the future."
He Gaofei and the others were actually looking forward to continuing to follow Gu Wenheng. The days of winning easily and achieving political achievements would probably be gone forever.
Gu Wenheng, "Don't worry, everyone. With your hard work over the years, promotion is a sure thing.
As for whether there is a possibility of working together in the future, as long as we are in the officialdom, there will always be opportunities."
He Gaofei laughed at himself and said, "I used to resist coming here, but I didn't expect that I can't bear to leave now.
We watched this city of Law change little by little, but we never expected that just when we were about to see the results and move towards a better life, it would be taken away by others at the end of the year.
In the past, these prefectural officials were allowed to be re-elected, so why can't we continue to do so here?"
All in all, it's because they are too capable. They turned a barren land into a treasure land that everyone is vying for. It's really confusing.
Gu Wenheng comforted them halfheartedly, "But if you continue to stay here, you can only stay where you are. Don't you want to go further?"
He Gaofei and others, "..." Can you say you don't want to?
Here, they are loved by the people and have plenty of money. Only a fool would want to change places.
Thinking of the money, Lu Shenggen pinched his palm and said, "I heard that Madam Gu wants to sell her shares in Haimao these days?"
Gu Wenheng, "You have heard the news too. You all have to leave here anyway. It would be inappropriate to hold you captive any longer."
"Then what should we do with what we have?" He Gaofei and the others were really reluctant to part with them.
On the second voyage, they finally had the nerve to add another share from Jin Qianqian. After these trips, they each earned tens of thousands of taels of silver.
This kind of money was not obtained through corruption or bribery, so they spent it freely and happily. Now they are really reluctant to give it up.
Gu Wenheng said to them without hesitation, “Your shares will continue to stay there. I can’t guarantee the future, but the recent trips have been profitable.
There is no need to foolishly push the money away. You only take up a small portion, and no one else will pay attention to you. "
He Gaofei and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how long the profit could last, they had already made the money.
Lu Shenggen was even happier in his heart, because he had more than the other two, so the losses he recovered were even greater. "In fact, there is no need for Madam Gu to push it out. The people on this ship are all her capable men. Even if you are not in Lucheng, these people should not dare to go too far."
Gu Wenheng didn't say anything definite, "I think there will be some left, but it won't be a lot."
He Gaofei and the others knew what was going on. Although it was a pity, they also knew that this was the best option.
If General Zhou had not been transferred, Madam Gu would have no problem taking charge of all the ships. But now that the few people who were in charge of the situation have left, having this thing in her hands is no longer a blessing, but a curse.
It’s just that the other party can make decisions so quickly, and in terms of mentality, they can’t match him.
