Transmigrating into a book: After getting married, I found that the target of the strategy has chang

This place is worse than Gu Changfeng had imagined.

Because of the severe flood a few years ago, even though relief was provided in time and the destroyed houses were rebuilt, the court "turned a blind eye" to the villages in the south of the city for the next few years. Even though this place is close to the capital, its development is not as good as other places.

The toilet alone looked much more dilapidated than those in the capital, as if we had gone back to a dozen years ago.

In short, it is very backward.

Gu Changfeng took his new servant to an old lady's house first, saying that he came to inquire about the situation and whether it was suitable to open a fur shop.

The old lady's clothes were all patched. She led them in and poured them a few cups of tea first.

He took it with a smile, took a sip, and swallowed it with great difficulty. He was so used to a good life that he couldn't even swallow old tea. Gu Changfeng mocked himself in his heart.

"Grandma, from what you said, no one has come here to do business for many years?"

"Yes, our village is lucky and unlucky, but unlucky and lucky at the same time." The old lady rubbed her hands. She didn't know if it was because she was washing clothes outside after dawn, but her hands were rough and red.

The servant also asked: "What do you mean?"

The old lady said, "Our village suffered a serious flood a few years ago. All the nearby villages were submerged. We were the only ones left. It was a blessing in disguise."

"The imperial court sent a large sum of money for disaster relief, but for some reason, not a cent was given to us. The court also said that we should demolish the whole house and move to a higher place in the city, but in the end it was not realized. They only gave part of the money to the families whose houses were destroyed to rebuild them, and then nothing happened."

"Our village is a forgotten corner, becoming poorer and poorer. Brides are unwilling to marry here, and the population is becoming even smaller. Maybe in a dozen years, there will be no one left here."

Gu Changfeng said regretfully: "What a pity, I thought this was a blessed land, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult."

The old lady thought for a moment and said softly, "Not all of them are having a bad time. There is one family in the east who is really lucky. They gave birth to a good son and adopted a good daughter. The son was adopted by a high-ranking official in the court, and now it is said that the daughter will also enjoy a good life."

Gu Changfeng didn't want to arouse suspicion, so he pretended to be indifferent and said, "It seems that the feng shui of that place is good. I recently heard that the court intends to rectify this place. Although I don't know exactly when, I'd better buy a shop first. It's not a loss."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, the old lady could only shake her head.

"Whatever, whatever. Don't blame me if you lose."

"Of course, thank you for telling me."

The old lady looked at the man as if he had been taken advantage of and quickly sent him away.

Before leaving, the old lady gave Gu Changfeng a few pumpkins she had planted, saying that there were too many fruits and she couldn't eat them all by herself. She also introduced him to a few capable people in the village, saying that if he really wanted to open a shop, he would need someone to help him.

Gu Changfeng thanked him again and again. It was inconvenient to carry the pumpkin, so he left it at his grandmother's house. The two of them rode their horses and headed to the east of the village.

It seems that the news about Zhou Ling's adopted son was false. His parents were both there, so why did they give their son to Zhou Ling? Was he really farsighted and knew that the village would not develop well in the future, so he wanted to find a way out for his son? And what about the adopted daughter?

Didn’t this Zhou recognize her relatives twice?
