Going to the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know when I will be able to return. According to the temperament of the old lady and Li Shi, I can't wait to pack a few carts of things for Gu Zhao and Gu Mu. Jiangnan and further south buy fruit to make canned fruit, so they can send things to Gu Zhao regularly, and it is better to take a light car on the road now.

If so, when Gu Zhao and Gu Mu were on the road, the luggage of the two of them was also full of a large cart, including the ones packed by Princess Southwest for Gu Mu.

On the way, Gu Zhao took out the jerky made by his mother and shared it with everyone. The weather in the south was hot and humid, so there was no telling how long this jerky could be stored, so it was better to eat it as soon as possible.

Gu Zhao rode with everyone on the road most of the time, and occasionally rested in the carriage, which did not hinder everyone at all. This also made the guards who came out to protect Gu Zhao have a good impression of him, especially after eating Gu Zhao. Where is the viscount's jerky?

After Gu Zhao got into the carriage, Gu Mu also got in, and the surrounding guards winked at each other. Their adults were completely different in front of Gu Zijue and in front of them, as if they were different people.

Naturally, Shi Dingshan and Mao Jiangtao came out with them. How can they rest assured of the safety of the young master if they don't follow in person for such a big event?

Everyone praised Gu Zhao: "I didn't expect Mr. Gu to have such good physical strength as a civil servant. If he can follow us for such a long journey, the time for us to reach Jiangnan will be much shorter."

The two of Shi Mao were proud, and Shi Dingshan said: "Although our young master was born as a scholar, his physical strength and skill are not bad. I think he personally shot and killed several bandits on the way to the exam, and finally captured them and sent them to report. official."

Mao Jiangtao followed closely behind: "That is, although our young master is now an official, as long as he is not too busy, he will insist on morning exercises every day. Of course, our young master's best skill is archery, which is really a hundred hits."

"Really?"

"You are talking about the matter of the poisonous woman in the house who bought people to deal with Mr. Gu. I think Mr. Gu has some skills, otherwise he would not be able to escape from that poisonous woman."

The grievances and grievances between Gu Zhaohe and the Marquis of Yongning were well known in the capital, and of course these guards had also heard of it. Thinking about it this way, I think Shi Mao and Shi Mao are not exaggerating.

In the carriage, Gu Zhao and Gu Mu were also talking. Gu Zhao did not expect that he would go to Jiangnan again so soon, but since he took over the errand, he would not evade it. He was not afraid of challenges, so he had to hurry up and read the materials while he was on his way. Supplementary knowledge.

"I'm a little worried that I won't be able to carry out the work smoothly when I get to Jiangnan. Although I just built a cement dam, the water inside is deep." It seems that it has nothing to do with Jiangnan's officialdom, but it is inseparable.

Just look at the fact that the imperial court allocates funds to flood-prone places to strengthen the dams every year, but floods still occur every year, so it can be inferred whether the allocated money has really been implemented. If all these allocations are really used to control floods , It’s not like he has to go to the book every year and cry, right? He can see clearly as soon as he starts work, what kind of dam those people built before, everything is in its original shape, and those officials can still sit still?

Maybe those guys are trying to stop him now, otherwise, why would the emperor give him such a sign that he can see the card like seeing the holy driver, so that he can act cheaply? no way.

"Brother, don't worry. Originally, I arranged for people to investigate the affairs of Jiangnan's officialdom. When His Majesty decided to send my brother over this time, I sent more people. I won't let them spoil my brother's affairs. My brother can just fix it. The dike is done, and the rest is my business." Gu Mu gave Gu Zhao a reassurance.

Gu Zhao was surprised: "Arrangements have been made a long time ago? No, no, this time my work is only on the surface, and your affairs are the most important thing. I said I sent you to protect it, but in fact it was to cover up What are you doing, Your Majesty and the princess are ready to move the Jiangnan officialdom?"

Gu Mu leaned his head on Gu Zhao's shoulder, obviously he is bigger than Gu Zhao now, and he needs to curl up to do this kind of action, outsiders look like a big dog curled up beside Gu Zhao: "I didn't They wanted to move so quickly, because they didn't expect that my brother would make cement, so this time I used my brother's affairs to find out how deep the water is and see if it is suitable for action. It depends on the real situation on the ground, brother, I will act cautiously."

Even if he wants to make meritorious service, he will never put his brother in a dangerous situation. Everyone knows the relationship between him and his brother, so what should he do if he uses his brother for surgery?Brother's safety is more important than his life.

If it wasn't for his elder brother, he would definitely turn this Jiangnan officialdom upside down.

Gu Zhao patted Gu Mu's head: "Mu Mu is getting stronger and stronger now, I believe Mu Mu will cooperate with you."

I think that when Mu Mu first came to him, he was still a little beast who didn't remember his identity and was vigilant about everything, but since he returned to the capital, he has grown up rapidly, and he has grown to the point where he can stand alone. In his memory, whether it was then, now, or even in the future, Mu Mu was still the one who trusted him wholeheartedly. The little beast who was wary of the surroundings at the beginning let go of its thorns in front of him.

With a warm heart, Gu Mu shared with Gu Zhao the situation in Jiangnan's officialdom in a low voice, who belonged to which faction, and how those wealthy businessmen were involved with officials. This was far deeper than what Gu Zhao knew. However, the relationship between those big salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and officials is even more intricate.

Gu Zhao knew about the collusion between officials and businessmen. Qiao Huan's mother's sister married the magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River, and in the backyards of those officials, I don't know how many women were sent by salt merchants.

When it came to the end, Gu Mu laughed again: "Although my brother has not yet arrived in Jiangnan, there must be many wealthy businessmen looking forward to my brother's passing, and want to make good friends with you, the God of Wealth."

"God of Wealth?" Gu Zhao laughed.

"Yes, the God of Wealth, or the Golden Hand, I don't know how many people love those glass products and glass mirrors when they are sent to the south of the Yangtze River. They all know that these things come from my brother's hands. Look at what my brother has created over the years. How many good things to make money, those people are greedy." Gu Mu boasted, according to him, there is no one who is better at collecting money than Gu Zhao in the entire Great Zhou, and the people in Jiangnan will come up with many tricks to win over brother .

Gu Zhao was ashamed: "Aren't the cement and glass the imperial court's property? It's useless for them to win me over. Could it be possible to snatch things back from the imperial court?"

"Maybe brother will come up with something good to make money next time."

Gu Zhao shook his head speechlessly.

As Gu Mu said, knowing that Gu Zhao is going to Jiangnan, many wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan are looking forward to his arrival. When Gu Zhao came to Jiangnan to study at Wensi Academy, they didn't pay much attention to this Viscount Gu, but when he enters Beijing to enter the officialdom Afterwards, what they got out shocked them for a while. Many people beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting that they didn't have a good relationship with this Viscount Gu, otherwise it would just be the glass products and mirrors that leaked out through their fingers. It's enough for them to earn a lot, so they can't miss it this time.

Looking at the Qiao family, it was because Qiao Huan and Gu Zhao were close at the beginning, and later Gu Zhao handed over the sales of his soap in Jiangnan to the Qiao family's agent, which made the status of Qiao's family and Qiao Huan in Jiangnan even higher. Because of his relationship with Gu Zhao, this young master Qiao will be looked up to when he goes out, so he is still a playboy who was looked down upon by others.

These people tried their best to find out what the Viscount Gu Zhao likes. Don't underestimate their abilities. The news in the capital can't be hidden from them at all. But after trying their best, they found that they didn't know what to say to Gu Zhao What's so good, they don't know where to start.

Let’s say he is greedy for money. Before leaving Qinghe County, he tried to find a way to make money. Later, he made a lot of money by making soap, but later the cement and glass were all given to the court. Well, although the imperial court also had rewards, they couldn't compare with the profits. If they were exchanged for them, they didn't have the courage to hand over everything, so can you say that he is greedy for money?

Besides, even if they are greedy for money, the money they give may not be as much as Gu Zhao earns by himself, so Gu Zhao can value the money in their hands?

Wealth and sex have always been the only magic weapons in the hands of these wealthy businessmen. How many officials are planted on this, money is useless, so what about sex?As a result, the news came from the capital, not to mention marrying a wife, this Viscount Gu didn't even have a waiter around him, and it was so clean that it was unimaginable.

Someone took the lead and called many businessmen over to discuss.

"Perhaps in a few days, that Viscount Gu will arrive in Jiangnan. What countermeasures have you guys thought of?"

"Is anyone from Qiao's family here?"

"I didn't come. The Qiao family had some bad luck. They let their children get in touch with Gu Zijue early. At the beginning, they even provoked Mr. Ding of the capital. At that time, everyone called the Qiao family stupid, but now they look at the Qiao family. Everyone is smart."

"In my opinion, this Viscount Gu may be too young to appreciate the beauty of women. After he comes and let him know what it's like, can he still refuse?"

"This can also be tried, but have you thought of another possibility?"

"What is possible?"

"Hey, maybe we're looking in the wrong direction. This Viscount Gu likes something different. Maybe what he likes is not female sex, but male sex."

"It's... not impossible, it's better to arrange them all."

This kind of thing is not uncommon for wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. In addition to brothels in Jiangnan, there is also Nanfenglou, which is specially used to entertain guests with unique tastes. This is quite normal for them, even if they have unique preferences. It does not prevent men from continuing to marry wives and have children to pass on to future generations, and even regard it as an elegant thing.
