Long Wind Crossing

Liu Yuru came to bring delicious food to Gu Jiusi. During this prison disaster, Gu Jiusi stayed in the cell every day, and the food that Liu Yuru gave, actually made him fat.

Fortunately, he was already thin, so fat, not ugly, but just right.

Gu Jiusi stayed in the palace for so long, and when he came back, he was already a little hungry, so Liu Yuru guarded him, watching him eat while listening to what he said about the palace.

He didn't follow the rules of the Ye family. He sat cross-legged on the bed and ate noodles.

Liu Yuru looked at him with a smile, she felt like a little white dog she raised when she was a child, when she eats, she is very happy, and when she eats happily, she will raise her head and look at you "Wow" ' called twice.

Gu Jiusi told her about the court, and she told Gu Jiusi about her business.

"I don't want to hold everything in my hands. There is always a limit to what one person can do. I build a big plate and they do the rest."

"Aren't you afraid of not doing well?" Gu Jiusi couldn't help laughing. Liu Yuru shook her head: "If one person does ten points, it's only ten points, but if ten people do eight points, it's eighty points. You can't think about doing everything you want to achieve ten points, so no."

"I found you a woman," Gu Jiu thought for a while, and couldn't help but said, "Why are you so ambitious?"

Hearing this, Liu Yuru pursed her lips: "It's not that you ate too much."

"Don't talk like that," Gu Jiusi was unconvinced after hearing this, and quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, and immediately said, "Do you believe me..."

"Believe it or not?" Liu Yuru leaned on the table and smiled at Gu Jiusi. Gu Jiusi looked at Liu Yuru's appearance, and after a moment of stunnedness, he coughed lightly, turned his head, and whispered, "Eat half less tomorrow."

Liu Yuru was stunned by this answer, and then laughed out loud. She covered her lips with a handkerchief, afraid that she laughed too exaggeratedly. Gu Jiusi saw that she was happy, and he was happy too.

After the two chatted for a while, Liu Yuru should leave. She took Gu Jiusi's map from the side and said gently, "I'll take a look at your map."

Gu Jiusi responded and let Liu Yuru take the book, then got up and left.

After Liu Yuru took the booklet, she kept looking at it on the way back to the house. This is the original map of Da Rong. It was drawn in great detail. Almost every river and every road was drawn on it. Liu Yuru pondered while looking at the painting.

Now the rice they have in Dongdu is delivered from Wangdu. When she was in Wangdu, she bought land, resettled refugees, and managed them by letting them contract the land. The result is now a bumper harvest. After the grain is harvested, it will naturally be sold everywhere. She is familiar with Dongdu and knows that Dongdu is rich. The cost of food in Wangdu is only two cents a bucket, but it is ten cents in Dongdu. She thought that the profit was considerable, and the loss of grain from Qingzhou, Cangzhou, and Yangzhou was not serious, so she made a misjudgment and sent the grain from Wangdu to Dongdu to sell.

However, the loss of nearly half is now, if it is really shipped all the way to Dongdu to sell, the cost is too high. But the grain store in Dongdu has already opened, and she can't be fooled. If she and Ye Yun agreed to sell the rice from Wangdu as aristocratic rice, she could barely support the store, but the profit was still not enough to satisfy her.

If you can reduce the cost, just click.

Liu Yuru thought, she thought for a while, and then looked at the map. The map is full of rivers, some places have rivers and some places don't. Liu Yuru paddled across the place where there was a river, and then paddled up, and then found...

There are sources.

After realizing this, Liu Yuru suddenly remembered, can she specially plan a road that only takes water?

Selling food and sharing the cost?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuru suddenly got a little excited. She suddenly realized one thing, if she really planned a route and built a warehouse, it wouldn't necessarily be just food, she could also transport many things. And these things, with reasonable route planning, can greatly reduce costs, ensure safety, and increase efficiency. She can even make this transportation route public and use it exclusively for those small businesses. As long as you give them a part of the transportation cost, they will be responsible for transporting things all the way.

This idea is relatively shallow, but Liu Yuru already understands that her idea is to lay a huge net, if she can find a way to reduce transportation by building warehouses, caravans, etc. cost, increase transportation efficiency, she can do better than others in any business in the future.

Liu Yuru probably had an idea in her heart. After returning home, she immediately called Lao Hei and these people to discuss and asked Lao Hei about the feasibility of her idea. After listening to the old black, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Master, your idea is very good, and it is extremely difficult."

"What's the difficulty?"

Liu Yuru pondered and spoke, and Lao Hei said to Liu Yuru: "The most important thing is that waterways also have access to waterways. Back then, you were the ship of the government, and there were so many people that no one dared to stop you. But if it is a general caravan, on the waterway, it also has to pay its tolls. If you want to get such a caravan, you must first have a good relationship with the government, and secondly, you must have a good relationship with the water thieves on the road. It's those two things that make it difficult. The rest, mostly, is money."

Liu Yuru nodded, "I understand."

"But the owner," Lao Hei thought for a while, coughed lightly, and then hesitated, "These things are difficult for others, but for you, they are not Difficult."

Liu Yuru was a little confused, and Lao Hei smiled: "After all, you are also an official lady."

Liu Yuru was stunned when she heard this, and after a while, she suddenly reacted.

Among these things, the most troublesome thing is the so-called "relationship". But now she is the wife of an official. After Gu Jiusi is released from prison, she is the Minister of the Ministry of Household, and Ye Shian's family is in the censor's desk. As long as she wants, she will use the names of Gu Jiusi and Ye Shian to scare the officials below. , where is there any reason not to give face?

If you are not obedient, just let the government lead the troops and horses to clear it, and that's it.

Liu Yuru understood, but frowned instead. Old Hei didn't dare to say more. After a while, he heard Liu Yuru say: "Don't talk about this matter, let's talk about it when the time is right."

Old Hei responded, and Liu Yuru let Old Hei retreat.

What Lao Hei said just woke up Liu Yuru. Now the business she does is too closely connected with the government, and in the future, others will always check on Gu Jiusi. She had to think more about Gu Jiusi.

After thinking for a while, she asked Mu Nan to come in, and asked him to find a few people who were familiar with the map of Darong, and asked them to give a route from Youzhou to Dongdu within three days. Where to set up warehouses along the road can be the lowest cost and the highest efficiency.

Liu Yuru went to the room while thinking about her account.

On the second day, the Censor Office sent a letter to the court to find out that Gu Jiusi was innocent and was framed. They detained all the guards at that time, and confirmed that these people had no contact with Gu Jiusi in the past. , someone instructed them to frame Gu Jiusi. Fan Xuan announced that Gu Jiusi was reinstated as the official, and acted as the secretary of the Ministry of Housing, and cooperated with the censor to investigate the case of Liu Chun.

According to the censor's report, the case may be very involved, so Fan Xuan took over directly, and all memorials were directly submitted to Fan Xuan.

Gu Jiusi walked out with Ye Shian, Shen Ming, and Zhou Ye. The four of them had been busy for so long, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Ye looked at Gu Jiusi, sighed and said, "I'm relieved that you're all right now. I'll leave for Youzhou tomorrow, you all come to see me off."

Gu Jiusi smiled: "Then you are my blessing, you can stay with my sister-in-law for a while."

Zhou Ye smiled bitterly, but did not speak.

Seeing that Zhou Ye was sad, Gu Jiusi straightened his expression and said seriously: "Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister-in-law."

"Yes," Ye Shian also said, "Brother Zhou, you don't have to worry, we are still here and will help you take good care of your family."

"I'm relieved." Zhou Ye nodded without saying much.

The four of them went out together, Shen Ming was clamoring to wash the dust off Gu Jiusi, but as soon as he walked outside the palace gate, he saw a blue-shirted servant standing there, saw Gu Jiusi come out, and rushed up Said: "But Gu Jiusi, Lord Gu?"

Gu Jiusi raised his eyebrows: "Who are you?"

"The servant is the servant in the family of Lord Lu Yonglu. I am ordered by the Lord of my family. Please take a look at it."

Gu Jiusi paused, everyone was silent, and after a while, Gu Jiusi turned his head and said to the three people: "Everyone, I may have something to do first."

"Go." Zhou Ye nodded, "It's important to do business."

Gu Jiusi said goodbye to the three and got into the Lu family's carriage.

The house of the Lu family is extremely simple, and compared with officials of the same level, they appear very poor.

After Gu Jiusi entered, he respectfully saluted: "Gu Jiusi has seen the adults."

Lu Yong was practicing calligraphy, and when he heard Gu Jiusi's words, he didn't lift his head, and sneered: "What kind of adult is an old man in white clothes now? Gu Shangshu has lifted it up."

Gu Jiusi was not surprised to hear this. Lu Yong's resignation must have been at the behest of Fan Xuan. Now that he didn't know that he was acting as minister, it was normal.

He was silent and did not speak, Lu Yong looked up at him and said indifferently: "It's a calm person."

Speaking, he raised his chin and said with Gu Jiusi, "Make tea."

This is extremely rude, Gu Jiusi stood and thought for a while, then sat in front of the tea set next to him.

He didn't actually make tea.

He has never been such an elegant person. He has always been drinking heavily and making tea. Ye Shian should do it. But he had never eaten pork, and had seen pigs run. He stumbled and stumbled over a cup of tea and placed it in front of Lu Yong. Lu Yong glanced at the cup and Gu Jiusi, and said disdainfully, "People are very good-looking, tea Ugly cooked."

Gu Jiusi listened and wanted to put a cup of tea upside down on Lu Yong's head.

But he held back, he kept smiling: "I don't know if Lu Lao came to me, what's the matter?"

"What is it that you don't know in your heart?" Lu Yong said unhappily, "I'm sitting here now, didn't you ask the emperor to tell me? You want the Minister of the Household and the one in my hand. Man, if you want me to take you to pave the way for you, do you think you can have it if you want?"

The more Lu Yong spoke, the more excited he became, and his saliva flew in the air.

Gu Jiusi stood where she was and kept smiling.

Lu Yong patted the table and the armrest, and said: "I told you that the offspring I hate the most in the entire household is your kid, a little clever messing around in the mud pool, thinking that he is so powerful Very. If it wasn't for Zhou Gaolang protecting you, you would not have died 10,000 times!"

"Old Lu, the tea is getting cold," Gu Jiusi was not angry, and reminded, "Drink tea."

Lu Yong was interrupted like this and slowed down.

After a while, he held the cup and said indifferently: "This time His Majesty wants me to retire, I understand that he can't bear me anymore. If I don't retire, he will not be able to manage people in the future. I retired, and there are still a group of people with me. They have to be protected by someone and have a place to go. Your Majesty has guaranteed you and asked me to give them all to you. I can give them to you, but I have a few conditions."

Hearing this, Gu Jiusi couldn't help laughing.

"Old Lu," he sat down, "at this time, are you still making conditions with me?"

Lu Yong's face stiffened, Gu Jiusi leaned on the chair, and dang Erlang's legs, one or the other knocked on the armrest, not like an official at all, but like a chatting tea in a teahouse The rich son of the rich family: "Your people must have a place to go. They stood in line with you, and you fell. Without my protection, they will fall soon. They are all scattered, and you will be in court. I really have nothing left. But I am different. You give me these people, and I will follow a smoother path. If you don't give me these people, Your Majesty wants to use me as a knife now. Zhou Gaolang wants to protect me because of Zhou Ye's relationship. Shi Tai also befriended me because of Ye Shi'an's relationship, I'm still young, and I have time to manage myself slowly, what qualifications do you think you have to negotiate with me?"

Lu Yong didn't say anything, Gu Jiusi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You shouldn't mention the conditions, I should give them. I poured you that cup of tea just now because I still respect you very much. Yes. I heard that you were born in the market, without any background in your family, and you have climbed all the way to this day on your own. To be honest, you have no talent, no fame, and no background. You are capable. Your people, I can have them or not, but I need a teacher."

Lu Yong looked up at him, Gu Jiusi calmly said: "I have the talent, I have a better background than you, I have money, but Mr. Lu, I do have one thing."

"I don't know how to be a man, let alone an official."

Lu Yong smiled slowly after listening to his words.

He understands.

Gu Jiusi asked him for advice on how to make people feel comfortable. Fan Xuan has thought that he is good for so many years, even if others know that he is greedy, he will not embarrass him, the main thing is that he can be a man.

"Then what are the conditions you gave me?"

Lu Yong said, Gu Jiu thought for a while: "Don't you like money?"

He said indifferently: "I think you are rich too, my daughter-in-law will make a lot of money. Would you consider handing over the money to her and letting her help with the business?"

Lu Yong: “…”

And he wants someone, ask him to be a teacher, on the condition that he pays his daughter-in-law to do business? !

This condition is unheard of!

But Lu Yong thought about it, and finally said: "Let your wife give me the ledger of the business she runs, and I will consider it."
