After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Su Yunting distributed a gem to everyone, just like distributing stones.

"Everyone, please don't be polite. I can exchange a batch of silk cloth for ten gems! One ounce of tea leaves for one! But I don't sell them openly, after all, things are valuable because they are rare! Only the royal family is richer, and ordinary people can't afford these things."

Yan Tongchu pinched the gem with his hands, and after confirming that it was real, he felt a sour feeling in his heart as if he had drunk vinegar.

The entire Yunzhou, from top to bottom, is busy all year long, but it is still not as good as others going out to sea for a year!

No wonder those big businessmen would rather borrow money to buy ships and go out to sea, the profits are indeed huge!

After distributing the gifts, Su Yunting continued, "When I was traveling south, I discovered an island. The crops on the island can be harvested three times a year. Not far from the island, there is a vast continent. It should be the Tianzhu described by the great master Tang in the past."

Gu Nanxi nodded. She didn’t expect that Su Yunting would go so far south this time. In the past, merchants usually only went to Southeast Asia and then would not go further south.

Su Yunting looked at Gu Nanxi's expression and found that there was not the slightest bit of shock on her face.

Could it be that A Niang already knew what would be in the south and knew about the existence of the island?

So that's why she proposed to build a shipyard?!

So, what does A-niang think about that continent?

Su Yunting suppressed the doubts in his mind and continued to introduce the customs and culture of India that he had experienced.

Wen Yu, who had been listening quietly, suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Nanxi with his mouth wide open.

"What's wrong?" Su Yunting didn't understand why Wen Yu was so surprised.

Wen Yu: "General, is this the place where Tang Monk and his disciples are going to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"

Gu Nanxi thought about it and realized that this Tianzhu was not that Tianzhu. The place where Tang Seng and his disciples were going should be called ancient India, but it was too troublesome to explain. Moreover, from a geographical point of view, Tianzhu was not a country, but a general term for several small countries.

It is not wrong to say that we are going to India to seek Buddhist scriptures.

Gu Nanxi: “Yes.”

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that this was another trap set by the general's troops. They just didn't know how deep this trap was!

Su Yunting licked his lips and continued talking when he saw that Wen Yu had nothing to ask.

"When I came here, I passed by Hezhong County. The bureaucracy in Hezhong County is really terrible. Petty officials are taking bribes everywhere, and street thieves are rampant. If this continues, I don't know when it will be able to recover from the drought and become prosperous as before!"

The braised pork ordered by Wang Buxi was the first to arrive.

The castrated pork does not have the foul smell of domestic pigs. It is stewed with sugar and cooking wine. It not only looks good in color, but also tastes melt-in-the-mouth. It is quite popular among the people of the Great Zhou.

Su Yunting had long heard that Yunzhou's canned food, whether it was braised lamb or braised pork, was the best in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this moment, as the fresh Dongpo pork was served on the table, he couldn't help but pick up a piece and taste it. It was indeed as delicious as the rumors said, which completely reversed his prejudice against pork!

Wang didn't like to eat a piece of braised pork or rice, so he said: "Hezhong County is in a state of trouble. We once proposed to cooperate with them in raising pigs, but they refused. If we want to completely rectify Hezhong County, we have to wait until the day when we can make the decision."

Su Yunting also agreed with this: "My third brother Li Mingde is the chief clerk in Hezhong Prefecture, and he said the same thing. Now there are people from our Baichuan Academy in almost every county in Hezhong County. We just need a good opportunity!"

This was the first time Wang Buxi and others heard about this incident.

It turns out that the general had already made arrangements in Hezhong County...

Delicious dishes were served one after another.

Su Yunting, who was familiar with everyone, spoke more frequently: "My ninth brother, Governor Song, has the final say in Xiangzhou. I was thinking that after I stay in Yunzhou for a few more days, I will go to Kyoto. When I pass by Xiangzhou on the way, I will meet with my ninth brother again."

Yan Tongchu paused holding the wine glass, Xiangzhou?

Isn’t the Song family the only dominant family in Xiangzhou?

By the way, the prefect Song that Erlang just mentioned also has the surname Song!

Yan Tongchu was shocked. He never expected that Xiangzhou, which was known as the place where the cultural energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was located, was actually the territory of the general!

How many cards does the general still have yet to reveal?

Wang Buxi and Yan Tongchu looked at each other, and the two of them listened to Su Yunting's words silently.

"The tenth son, Chen Yixuan, is married to the head of the Yuheng Qingli Division. His Yue family is in charge of the military equipment department."

Hearing this, Gu Hai, Gu Shisan, Wang Buxi, Yan Tongchu and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Firearms were becoming more and more powerful, and they were also worried that the firearms they had given to the emperor last time would attract the emperor's attention.

Unexpectedly, the general had already thought ahead and was able to take down Yu Hengqing, the head of the Ministry of Personnel!

In this world, apart from blood ties, the most reliable relationship is kinship by marriage.

Gu Nanxi felt that something was not right. Among all the children, the tenth child was the most lively and wrote the most letters to her, almost writing one every ten days. How come he didn't even tell her about such an important event as an engagement?

Gu Nanxi planned to write a letter to Lao Shi when she had time to ask what was going on and whether she was being forced to get married by her family.

After talking about the others, Su Yunting turned the topic to himself: "This year I plan to take Shuyao's uncle, fourth uncle and several brothers from their family to go out to sea. I will let them manage the island!"

Gu Nanxi frowned: "Have you discussed this matter with Shuyao's family? Such a big matter cannot be decided by just you!"

Su Yunting praised Shuyao: "Don't worry, mother, we have already informed them about this matter. When Shuyao heard that her family could help you, she jumped up and down and wanted to do her best for you!"

"Later, I was the one who dissuaded them. I said if this matter was handled well, then everyone would be happy. But if it wasn't handled well, it would be fatal! They married their daughter to our family, and we can't let them take such a big risk!"

"After much persuasion, Shuyao's grandfather finally agreed to split up the clan! Shuyao's eldest uncle and fourth uncle followed us south, while his second uncle and third uncle stayed in Huaiyang and continued to run their business. With them guarding that area, our merchant ships can travel with more confidence."

Everyone present was smart, except Gu Nanxi, who didn't hear it, but everyone else understood it.

Shuyao's family had different opinions on whether to go south with Su Yunting, so the old man divided the family into two branches to be on the safe side.

However, no one exposed Su Erlang because they knew the truth but didn't say it out loud.

Gu Nanxi: "Shuyao is a good child, you can't let her down!"

"Ok!"

This dinner was a very enjoyable one.

Gu Nanxi usually doesn't drink, but on such a happy day, he still drank several glasses of fruit wine. Perhaps he was too happy, Gu Nanxi was a little drunk.

She looked at the grown-up Su Yunting and felt extremely proud.

Gu Nanxi beckoned at Su Yunting, and Su Yunting walked over obediently.

Seeing his silly look, Gu Nanxixi couldn't help but rubbed his furry head several times, just like petting a little flower.

"mother?"

Gu Nanxi coughed twice. The child had grown up and was very proud. She couldn't let him know that she wanted to stroke him: "The immortal stroked my head and I will be blessed with eternal life. I wish my child will be free from illness and disaster in this life, and live in peace and happiness."
