Chapter 61: Deciding to Go into Business
"The Soul-Eating Gu can cause the victim to lose their mind, go crazy and rush around until they die."
It seems that the three wild boars that went crazy in Ruyi Mountain before were probably infected by this soul-eating poison.
"What a vicious witchcraft! Once you're poisoned, there's no cure. You're doomed!"
Who on earth cast such cruel and vicious witchcraft on these beasts to deal with her?
Gu Feixue's brows gradually furrowed as she looked down.
An hour later, Gu Feixue closed the book of witchcraft and put it back in its original place.
There is no solution to the vast majority of witchcraft techniques that can cause people to lose their minds.
Once infected, one becomes a walking corpse, with only one way to go, no matter whether the infected person is a human or an animal.
Among the witchcraft techniques, there are also some poisons that can be cured.
Most of these detoxifiable poisons can manipulate a person's physical condition, and some can even cause someone to feign death.
If you want to learn how to cure the poison in witchcraft, you must first learn how to cast the poison.
This made Gu Feixue hesitate at first.
But when she was sure that she was learning witchcraft not to poison innocent people, but to protect herself and her family, she no longer had any concerns.
Of course, Gu Feixue subconsciously did not tell Rong Xing about this.
She didn't know why there were such vicious medical books in the Sutra Library, but even orthodox medical skills were used by people to commit crimes and kill people.
So the key is not the medical skills, but the heart of the doctor.
"You're leaving? What book did you choose?"
Rong Xing rubbed his eyes and looked at Gu Feixue, who was about to go back, in confusion, but saw that she looked normal and said:
"Nothing, I just picked up an introductory medical book. I'll ask you when I see something I don't understand."
When Rong Xing heard that Gu Feixue was going to ask him, he couldn't help but straighten his chest:
"Okay, if you don't understand, just ask me!"
Gu Feixue curled the corners of her mouth, nodded, and left Taoyuan.
When I returned to Gu's house, it was still dark.
Gu Sang was still sleeping soundly beside him, but Gu Feixue seemed a little heavy and did not fall asleep again.
Were the people who dealt with her in Ruyi Mountain the same group that caused Gu Lang to be dismissed from office and exiled?
If they were really a group of people, then the crisis the Gu family was in would not be an ordinary one.
The heavier her heart felt, the greater the pressure Gu Feixue felt.
She desperately wanted to strengthen herself and the Gu family.
Otherwise, if the Gu family encounters enemies whose true intentions are unknown, will they still have a way to survive?
Gu Feixue, who originally only wanted to make money for herself, now has a bigger goal.
But how can we achieve this greater goal?
Career?
Gu Tingchuan has also reached the age to take the imperial examination. Once he passes the examination and becomes a juren or even the top scorer, he will go to Beijing to meet the emperor. There will be no shortage of opportunities for him to redress the injustice done to the Gu family!
But what should she do?
It is definitely not a good idea to put all the eggs in one cage. If something unexpected happens later, all the efforts will be wasted.
So there has to be a plan B.
Although the current emperor allows women to attend private schools, there has never been a precedent for female officials in the court, and the imperial examinations are naturally taken by men.
So even if she studied, she could not help the village and the Gu family through a career in politics.
There are only two more suitable ways to gain access to His Majesty.
One is official career, the other is military general.
Gu Tingchuan is intelligent, strategic, and has a solid foundation in martial arts, so he will definitely be able to succeed as a military general.
But the battlefield is too dangerous, and a career in politics is safer than being a military commander.
How could she, a woman, enter and leave an army composed entirely of men?
The law stipulates that it is against military regulations for women to join the army!
So whether it was a career in politics or joining the military, both paths were obviously blocked for her.
Thus, the three categories of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are reduced to agriculture, industry and commerce.
Although she is willing, it depends on whether God will give her the face.
A famine or drought could kill a farmer, and if faced with heavy taxes and war, there would be no way to survive.
Workers are those who work for rich people.
In modern times, they are workers. Under the deterrence of labor laws, workers still have human rights.
In ancient times, a contract was equivalent to selling one's body. Even if she had no other choice, she would not choose this path.
Then after eliminating all the options that cannot be chosen, there is only one choice left.
She wanted to do business! Only by doing business could she avoid the influence of war and climate to the greatest extent.
There is no need to worry about gender, personal safety, or human rights issues.
This is the most suitable choice for her, a soul from the modern era.
In ancient times, although merchants ranked last among the four classes of scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants.
But if you reach the highest level in business, you will have the opportunity to pay tribute to the royal family, which is commonly known as an imperial merchant.
By then, I will be able to contact people in the capital and find an opportunity to vindicate the Gu family.
Of course, if you want to become a royal merchant, the things you sell must be the best of the best.
Only products that are recognized and sought after by dignitaries, ladies of high rank, princes, officials and other ancient aristocratic classes can have a chance of success.
What on earth was she going to sell?
What do people love? Naturally, it's life and health, and for these noble people, they also want to live a long life.
If she had Xu Fu's eloquence and the ability to deceive people by refining the elixir of immortality, she wouldn't have to worry about what to sell and could just sell the elixir directly.
However, she doesn't have the ability to fool people, so she can only be a brick-moving man and a brick-moving soul.
With a sense of security in her mind, Gu Feixue began to feel sleepy.
It was not until Gu Sang woke him up that he got up in a daze, washed up, and woke up only after he got on the village chief's ox cart.
Along the way, they saw some cowherds greeting them, and Gu Feixue and the other three naturally responded one by one.
"Were these cattle distributed to the village by the government?"
At that time, they cheated the wealthy merchants and gentry into giving them grain, as well as hundreds of pigs, sheep, and dozens of cows.
Unexpectedly, all these cows were allocated to Anju Village by the prefect.
Although Gu Feixue knew that this might also be because Anju Village was composed of refugees, most of whom had no roots, raising cattle could also provide multiple ways of making a living.
But the distribution of cattle at this time might also be due to the Gu family's factor. The prefect might also know that the Gu family did not want to owe anyone a favor.
So they decided to send the livestock to Anju Village instead of burdening the Gu family.
There are about 8,000 people in Anju Village, including most local refugees and some refugees from other places. The 50 cows distributed are owned by an average of more than 100 households, and even the village chief's family is no exception.
When these cows give birth to calves next year, every household will have the opportunity to make a fortune.
The cow that the village chief used to take them to the private school was the old yellow cow issued by the government the day before.
When they arrived at the private school in the main city, Gu Feixue and the other three said goodbye to the old village chief and entered the private school.
However, she didn't expect that the teacher was ill and didn't come today. Without the teacher, Gu Feixue naturally didn't want to stay in the school to study.
She persuaded Gu Sang and Gu Da to go out and play with her. There are much more fun things to do on the streets of Liangcheng now than during the disaster a few months ago.
