Chapter 1238
1238 Wouldn’t it have been better if you had come earlier
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, uncle Gu and Huo Junhao brought a group of people to chunnan city.
Before he left, Gu shouxin had given Huo Junhao a task. Within a year, he had to turn chunnan city into South County. He wanted Huo Junhao to do it. Next year, he would have a County under his jurisdiction as the kun state prefect.
Huo Junhao looked at his uncle Gu, who was focused on farming, and suddenly felt a mountain of pressure and a little tired.
No matter how tired his heart was, Gu shouxin was not soft-hearted. Anyway, there were only so many people. If you were short of people, you could find a way yourself. As for silver, your uncle was still earning it. If you wanted to do better, you could urge your uncle to plant a few more acres of land.
Uncle Gu and Huo Junhao had left. Fortunately, chunnan city was not far from kun city. They could return in a day’s time on horseback.
On the 17th day of the first month, he had sent fourth uncle Gu and he Yun, who Gu shouxin had found for him, so he had to bring more people to white jade City. After all, uncle Gu had already formed a small settlement there, and fourth uncle Gu’s side was slower.
Gu shouxin gave He Yun the same task as Huo Junhao, but fourth uncle Gu was more reliable than first uncle Gu. Although fourth uncle Gu was also a craftsman, he loved to study more than first uncle Gu. After knowing his family’s true identity, he also intended to develop in this direction. Fourth uncle Gu and he Yun could be considered to be learning from each other and improving together.
The 17th day was also the day Gu en set off for Qing Province for the examination.
Zhang Shi was very worried and even wanted to go back with them, but she could only give up after hearing grandma Gu’s words.
No one in the family pressured Gu en and allowed him to take the examinations as he pleased. This time, he would be away for half a year, taking the county examinations, capital examinations, and Academy examinations. He would come back once he had a scholar’s rank. If he didn’t, he would just stay there and continue taking the examinations next year.
Well, the Gu family did not feel that this was pressure, but Gu en, who had never taken the exam, felt great pressure.
He had never taken an exam and had not attended any school ever since he went to the capital. He was completely focused on his religion, so he had no idea of his own level. He was very nervous. Even if Gu Ren persuaded him that second uncle would be his teacher, he would just be happy. If second uncle said he could pass, then he would definitely pass.
Gu Ren also said, ” brother, come back soon after you’re done with your exams. Our business can’t last long. It’s best to abduct a few students from Qing Province. Those who don’t have a large family and come from poor families can come to kunzhou Prefecture and study in kunzhou. Then, we can get someone to write our novels.
Gu en was also helpless against this intelligent younger brother of his!
……
On the afternoon of the 17th day, Gu shouxin personally went to the Peng family and took a stack of plans that he had made in the past two days to show old general Peng and great general Peng.
The plan was to build a settlement of the Five Nations outside the West Gate. He had even thought of the name, mixed city. It would be a medium-sized town under the jurisdiction of kun state.
What he meant was that if the other country’s imperial court did not agree, the Peng family Army would have said that if they did not want to do it, they would do it.
Then, in addition to the people from the neighboring five countries, the people of the great Zhou could also go there to rent or buy houses, do business, and so on.
At that time, kun city would continue to move west, which was equivalent to expanding kun city.
In this case, it was like kun city was divided into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city was the old city, and the walls were still there. The outer city was the new city that expanded in the East and the mixed city that expanded in the West.
“Second Gu, why did you gamble and drink so much in the early years?” general Peng asked. If you had come to kun city earlier, the Lang GE Kingdom in the West would have been moved to the great Zhou Dynasty by you! Hahahahahaha!”
Gu shouxin,”Yingluo.”
