Chapter 978
978 An unforgettable life
They had replenished a lot of grains and vegetables in the prefecture, but it was a pity that it was winter, so there were very few vegetables.
It was only after the Gu sisters bought some beans and made some bean sprouts that they were able to eat the vegetables.
After a full meal, everyone got into the car and continued on their journey.
They were moving their entire family, so they had brought a lot of things with them. More than a dozen cars, more than half of which were packed with luggage.
As they passed by the forest, old general Peng asked the coachman to be careful. There were many ferocious beasts in the forest, and it was almost the twelfth lunar month. The big guys in the forest didn’t have much to eat.
Not long after, old general Peng saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
The old lady of the Gu family, along with her eldest son, directly killed two wild boars. The five siblings of the Gu family, as well as Princess Jinghe, killed two wild boars, while Gu shouxin killed one by himself.
His car was at the forefront, and the two attendants who drove the car for him didn’t even have time to do anything before the family took care of it.
He could tell that the Gu family only had the old master, his two daughters-in-law, and the chubby little boy, who was a little more delicate. He had always thought that sisi was delicate and quiet, but she was a little girl who could hold a dagger and stab a wild boar without trembling.
To prevent attracting more wild beasts, they loaded the boar and sped up.
After leaving this forest, their field of vision was wide and open. There were patches of barren land.
Uncle Gu’s heart ached,’if we plant seeds all over this place, how good would the harvest be? Elder Peng, is this place far from the county? How long do I have to walk if I want to farm here?”
“Yueyue is so close to the forest, aren’t you afraid of the wild animals in the mountains?”
Uncle Gu,”that’s true.”
It would take six days to reach kun city after leaving the forest.
Along the way, uncle Gu’s heart ached terribly. There was so much land, and it was all unoccupied. If he came to explore, all these lands would be his. By then, he would definitely be the one with the most people in great Zhou.
During the next few days of the journey, they passed by several villages. The houses in the villages were built with stones, with wooden shelves on top, then covered with tiles, and most of them were covered with thatched.
Oh? ” Gu Xin sighed, ” if the wind and rain were stronger, would these grass be able to cover us? ”
“So, some people will freeze to death,” Gu Hui said.
sister, ” Gu Xin said as she pulled Gu Nian along, ” you said that you were going to make something very strong. Let’s find a place to burn it once we reach kun city! Let’s call all of brother Meng’s brothers from the hundred Flowers Manor, they know how to make bricks. Father has become the highest official in kun city. Let’s let the people live better!”
“I told you that you’re a worrywart,” Gu Nian laughed. All of this had been arranged. They’ll come over once they’re done packing. When we’ve found our place, father will send someone to pick us up.”
Gu Xin: ” I haven’t seen Meng Yan and Zheng Ling for a long time. It’s only been a few months, but it does feel like a long time.
Gu shouxin had discussed with Cai Xiaolian that only a portion of their people in Qing Province would be left to manage the manor and workshop, while the rest would be called over to kun city.
He also asked for a group of craftsmen from the Emperor. There were blacksmiths, house-building workers, woodworkers, and so on.
The Emperor wanted to teach him to rebel, so of course he dared to open his mouth to ask for blacksmithing.
Every dynasty and every generation had a very strict control over iron. Really, if the Emperor had not taught him to rebel, he would not have asked the Emperor for it. Instead, he would have gone to find it himself.
This group of people would rush over after the new year.
When they were still a day’s journey away from kun city, someone from the Peng family came to pick them up.
