"How, how is the arrangement of the construction team going?" Gu Zhao asked Gu Yang. During this period of time, Gu Yang has changed a lot. His skin color is much darker. Without him, he often runs out.

The construction of cement roads has temporarily stopped, and the production of cement workshops and brick kilns has not stopped. There are still a large number of workers who want to continue working with the magistrate. Take, and now working on the construction site, after these workers take their wages home, many people have built new houses, and some people have used them to buy the land released by the government. The quality of life is compared with the past. It has improved a lot.

Gu Zhao wanted to find a new way out for them, so he organized a construction team to undertake the private business of building cement houses, and also developed the business of road construction to foreign governments. As long as other places pay, their The construction team provides material and manpower to ensure that the other party has no worries.

Gu Yang showed Gu Zhao the list of statistics. At present, five relatively small construction teams have gone to other places. Those who stay in the local area are relatively small construction teams. The jobs they take are not that big, but they earn a lot. Not too little.

Gu Yang smiled and said: "In the past, there were many bachelors in the construction team, but now, apart from a few workshops, the bachelors in the construction team are the most popular, and there are many matchmakers who come to say goodbye."

Gu Zhao said narrowly: "I didn't expect you to gossip like this one day, Brother Yang."

Gu Yang blushed a bit. In the past, he really didn’t pay attention to these gossips, but now following the third brother to see the conditions of the people living at the bottom, Gu Yang’s mentality has also undergone a big change. Now looking back at the past It seems that those hardships and grievances he has suffered are not worth mentioning, and his heart is becoming more and more open.

Sure enough, the teacher and the third brother were right, they should come out more to have a look, and now the articles he wrote have improved a lot.

"Hey, I just find it interesting. I'm also happy to see that their lives are better than before."

Gu Zhao patted him on the shoulder and could understand his feelings. In the words of later generations, it means that Gu Yang is more down-to-earth than before.

"My lord, there is a letter from the capital." Sting Shan brought the letter from outside.

"Let me take a look. There should be a lot of movement in the capital." Gu Zhao was a little urgent, and Gu Yang couldn't help staying. He also wanted to know what happened in the capital during this period.

"Yan Mu has been made Duke!"

"Ah, Shang Zhezi, the king of Southwest, wanted to pass the throne to Yan Mu, but Yan Mu took over the throne on the front foot, and then asked the court to cancel the king of Southwest."

"The King of Southwest is now Lord Zhennan!"

"The concubine wants to reconcile with him, but for the time being, let His Majesty suppress it."

These news became more and more explosive, and Gu Yang and Shi Dingshan were startled and deceitful when they heard them, especially Yan Mu's actions, which were beyond their expectations, and made them admire their hearts, even if they knew that His Majesty had such a Thoughts, but not everyone can resist the temptation of a throne.

When Shi Dingshan thought about the appearance of Yan Mu when he was with the adults before, he couldn't connect him with the current Pingnan Gong. He really grew up too fast. The boy who used to only know how to hang around the adults turned into a young man in the blink of an eye. A mature and courageous man calmed down the foreign aggression in the Southwest and the Southwest with one strike, and he has no nostalgia for the throne, which is shocking.

Several letters came from the capital, sent from different people. Apart from talking about the important event in the court, for example, Song Ze also wrote about receiving Da Qi and Ang Lan's envoys in the letter. It should be when Song Ze received these envoys. Ze also participated, so the description was very detailed. It is obvious that His Majesty has two attitudes towards Ang Lan and the Envoy of Great Discord.

This is not the first time that Daqi envoys have come to Beijing. In the past, the attitude of Daqi envoys was much more arrogant than now. The officials who received them had to be careful and wait on them. But this time, the officials of Daqi were more confident. They were all indifferent, and this time the prince including Da Qi could only hold back.

On the contrary, Queen Anglan and his party were welcomed by the whole capital. When Queen Anglan went out to visit the capital, it also attracted many people in the capital to watch. Obviously, everyone was very curious about the existence of the queen, and Queen Anglan also had The female guards around her were all good-looking, which made people even more curious.

Because of this, the capital also triggered a wave of discussions about princesses participating in politics. Because of the promotion of newspapers, more and more people are now talking about court affairs. Look, women from other families can be queens and masters of the house. They are big Zhou The princess is not bad, so why can't she be the crown princess? She lashed out at the pedantic remarks that those women can only guard the backyard.

The women's newspapers in the capital also took the opportunity to publish a lot of introductions about the country of Ang Lan, including the life of the current queen. After the publication of this issue, the sales rose rapidly, and finally even men bought it privately or publicly.

Gu Zhao was very happy to see it. Judging from these descriptions, the atmosphere in the capital is becoming more and more open, and this will definitely spread to the surroundings with the capital as the center, and the impact will become greater and greater. Just like Yaochang Mansion, Some merchants sent Beijing News and other newspapers from thousands of miles away, which aroused the pursuit of those wealthy people. Among them, the few issues of newspapers that Gu Zhao published articles were rumored to have been inflated at high prices in private.

Gu Zhao asked Gu Yang to sort out the contents of several letters, and the sorted contents were circulated in the government office, and also sent a copy to his mother, Gu Ren, and Brother Qi, but he still left a letter in his hand without reading it. Well, it was a letter from Yan Mu.

When Shi Dingshan and Gu Yang saw the signature of the letter, they avoided it tacitly. Although Yan Mu has become an indomitable man now, and he is also a dignified Duke of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in front of Gu Zhao, he is definitely the same as before. The sticky boy, he still looked the same when he was here dressed as Gu Zhao's bodyguard, so this letter must have been written sticky.

Gu Zhao saw Yan Muxin in a different mood. He had longing and anticipation in his heart. The beginning of the letter was just as Gu Zhao thought. It summed up the situation in Xiajingli with a few simple sentences, and then complained at length about His Majesty’s dissatisfaction. So kind, he actually dumped him to that ghostly place in the southwest, when will he meet his elder brother, and complained that the emperor asked him to watch him and not allow him to run to the Yaochang Mansion.

Gu Zhao was amused to see it. In fact, he was not surprised by Yan Mu's choice at all. What Yan Mu wanted was never the throne, and being able to tear Yan Chongshan off the throne should be Yan Mu's greatest achievement. Nothing could be more pleasant than that, so the throne is of secondary importance.

In other words, when Yan Zhongshan was unhappy, Yan Mu was happy.

Now let Yan Mu go to the southwest to reorganize the Southwest Army. I think he must not be very happy, but Gu Zhao can also understand the emperor's appointment. If the Southwest wants a smooth and smooth transition, Yan Mu must go there. His identity is also justifiable.

Gu Zhao read Yan Mu's letter last, but he was the first to reply to Yan Mu's letter. In the letter, he comforted him. He had to do a good job in the Southwest and stabilize the Southwest as soon as possible. Wouldn't he be relieved earlier, even in his letter? It is suggested that Yan Mu also build a cement road in the southwest to connect the Yaochang Mansion side. In the future, the communication between the two parties will be much more convenient, and it will also be conducive to the circulation of commerce and materials between the two places.

Look at him, he never forgets to develop the local economy of Yaochang Mansion.

After replying a thick letter to Yan Mu, he replied to others. At this time, the news about the capital was also spread in Yaochang City, and everyone was amazed. After a few days, General Ji also came back from the capital. Yes, the emperor continued to send him to garrison this place. After all, the outside of the northwest is not safe. General Ji still has some talent in leading troops in battle. The emperor is not at ease when these places are handed over to other people.

After General Ji came back, he brought more detailed news about the capital, and he also visited Gu Zhao in person, bringing several cartloads of items along with him, which surprised Gu Zhao very much.

Yes, General Ji was very considerate. Before leaving the capital, he specially visited Gu Zhao’s relatives, and declared that he could bring some things to Gu Zhao for them. Anyway, he always made this trip, which made Gu Jiali’s family very happy. , Cleaned up overnight, and I accidentally packed a lot, but General Ji waved his hand and took them all, so there was no need to leave them. Now the cement road on the side of Yaochang Mansion is connected to the area around the border town, so the return journey will be smooth. Very, it takes a lot of work.

The letter from home did not explain this before, because when General Ji went to visit, these letters had already been sent out, but the family wrote a letter trusting General Ji to send it together.

Of course, the items in these carts were not all for Gu Zhao alone, there were also Li Shi, Gu Ren, Gu Yang, Qi Yunfei and others. Gu Zhao called them together to thank General Ji and cook a delicious meal. Treating General Ji, General Ji also ate happily.

General Ji was very talkative. He talked about the affairs of the capital and described the situation on the southwest battlefield in detail. Everyone including Gu Zhao was fascinated by it. Yan Mu's letter did not go into details at all, and Gu Zhao also heard from him several times. Hearing his admiration for Yan Mu from General Ji, Gu Zhao was even happier to hear it, and the others were also happy for Yan Mu.

The good news kept coming. After knowing that Yan Mu went to the Southwest to take up his post, maybe the papers sent by Gu Zhao were effective. The emperor finally sent officials to him, and they were all young officials. There are also Jinshi earlier than Gu Zhao, anyway, they are all young and energetic officials with no background. The emperor sent them to the Yaochang Mansion to practice. It's quick to get started, and you can learn a lot from Gu Zhao, and you can learn a thing or two from governing other places in the future.

After the arrival of these officials, Gu Zhao expressed a warm welcome, and assigned all the tasks in his hands to them. After a while of running-in at the beginning, these officials quickly got started, and Gu Zhao was finally able to relax a lot and start. To do other things that have been planned for a long time, such as focusing on education, it turns out that his energy is still not enough.
