Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Da Lu was so angry that his face turned blue, and his eyes spewed fire!

I don't know what kind of magic Gu Jiu used to fool Zhou Shi'an into resigning from office to teach at Shanhe Academy.

It's so annoying!

It was hard to win over a talent, but someone pried the corner of the wall halfway. This matter is uncomfortable for anyone.

It's not easy for Mr. Lu to get angry at Zhou Shi'an, so he can only sulk all by himself and ignore him with a straight face.

Zhou Shi'an knew he was wrong.

I have been taken care of by my lord these years, and I feel deeply. If my lord has a errand, no matter when and where, I will never refuse.

Master Lu suppressed his anger, You can't wait. Let's talk about resignation in two years?

Zhou Shi'an shook his head, I've wasted too many years, I can't continue to waste it.

He even called being an official a waste of time!

Master Lu wanted to get angry, but in the end he sighed repeatedly.

Really stop thinking about it?

I have let down the cultivation of my lord, please forgive me.

Zhou Shi'an made up his mind to go to Shanhe Academy to teach.

Even ten cows would never be able to pull him back.

Mr. Lu waved his hand, Forget it, forget it, twisted melons are not sweet. I don't force you, but don't forget to come and see from time to time. Although you are not in the officialdom, the friendship between you and me is still there.

Thank you, my lord!

Zhou Shi'an was relieved.

When are you going to move to Shanhe Academy?

Move in tomorrow.

So anxious?

I want to settle down earlier and write a book with peace of mind.

Alright! Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to procrastinate. I will ask the housekeeper to move for you tomorrow.

Don't bother. The academy will send someone over tomorrow to help with the move.

The academy is the academy, and I am the official. In short, it is agreed, and I will arrange someone to help you move tomorrow.

Thank you, sir. Zhou Shi'an reluctantly agreed.

After settling down in the academy, Zhou Shian closed the door without being disturbed by others, and began to concentrate on writing a book.

I have lived most of my life and experienced all kinds of ups and downs. I have a lot to say and a lot to write.

Looking at the gray beard in the mirror, Zhou Shi'an felt that there were not many days left, and he didn't dare to waste a moment. I can't wait to write everything I want to write in one breath.

...

Master Lu was furious.

He sent a greeting card to Gu Jiu, wanting to have a talk with Gu Jiu.

It's no good to be a human being.

Gu Jiu received the post and threw it aside.

She teased: Master Lu is going to ask the teacher to ask the crime, why don't you think about the fact that he cut the beard from me back then.

Back then, Gu Jiu personally came forward to persuade Zhou Shi'an to teach at Shanhe Academy.

Zhou Shi'an agreed, but before signing the agreement, he was fooled by Mr. Lu, who then went to work as an errand in Zhongshu Province.

At that time, Shanhe Academy was thirsty for talents, and it was a bit shabby to have only Sanyuan Gong Yang Yuanqing to support the facade.

Back then, Gu Jiu was quite angry.

This time, Mr. Lu also tasted what it was like to be cut off.

Xu Yousi asked: Does the concubine want to see Mrs. Lu? People from the Lu residence are waiting for news at the gatehouse.

Gu Jiu picked up the greeting card again and glanced at it, It's rare for Mrs. Lu to come down to pay respects to the card. Of course I want to see you, and I have to sweep the couch to welcome you. Tell the servants of Lu's mansion that my princess will wait for Lu in Xiaozhu three days later. Your Excellency, please drive.

...

The three-day period came in a blink of an eye.

Lord Lu took a four-wheeled carriage to Xiaozhu in the mountains.

It was late autumn, and the leaves were withered and yellow.

The wheels crushed the leaves and made a crunching sound.

Master Lu closed his eyes and meditated.

He didn't open his eyes until the carriage drove into Xiaozhu.

My princess is waiting in the flower hall, my lord please.

Master Lu came to Xiaozhu for the first time, so curiosity was inevitable.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water reveal exquisite luxury everywhere.

When we arrived at the flower hall, there were glass windows on three sides, which shocked Mr. Lu.

My lord, my princess is waiting inside.

Master Lu walked into the flower hall and smelled the fragrance of tea.

The princess is so excited!

Your Excellency came to the humble house, and it was full of splendor. Please sit down, Your Excellency!

Gu Jiu stood up to greet her.

The maid cooks tea, and the maid plays the piano.

The sound of the piano is melodious and refreshing.

Mr. Lu drank the fragrant tea lightly and talked about the good tea.

Chuangzi in the south has built two tea mountains. The tea is not the best, but it is better to drink new tea all year round.

It has long been heard that the princess has built several Zhuangzi in the south, but I didn't expect that she also bought a tea mountain.

Gu Jiu picked up the teapot to add water, and she said without any haste: A few years ago, there was a drought in the south, and the quantity and quality of tea dropped, and the price couldn't be sold. Many tea merchants had to sell their assets to tide over the difficulties. At that time, I had a little spare money on hand, so I bought two tea mountains and hired people to plant and pick tea. The tea industry seems to be a huge profit, but in fact it is a huge investment. The advantage is that it can provide job opportunities for most of the local population, so that the local people Earn your hard-earned money.”

The princess seems to always take labor issues into consideration when doing business.

Gu Jiu smiled softly: A market can't be supported by the aristocrats alone. Only when the people have money in their hands and are willing to spend it, the market will grow bigger and bigger, and the income will increase. High. Whether it is tea, meat, vegetables, or cloth, it all depends on quantity. Quantity requires population support. Similarly, if the imperial court wants to collect taxes, it has to count on the food and money in the hands of ordinary people. After all, the imperial court has no ability Collect a penny of tax from the nobles of the family.

This is too embarrassing.

Master Lu coughed twice, The taxation problem is a problem accumulated over hundreds of years and thousands of years, and it cannot be solved overnight.

Gu Jiu smiled, I understand the truth. Taizu needed the support of his family to establish a country, so he tacitly allowed the family to follow the old rules without paying taxes, and tacitly allowed the family to hoard land and raise slaves. The advantage is that the Great Zhou Dynasty is stable, and all opposition The power is wiped out. The downside is that, as time goes on, the government’s finances will be dragged down. When wars and famines occur, the court’s ills are hard to recover, internal and external troubles, and the dynasty will come to an end. This is the fundamental reason why any dynasty cannot escape the fate of three hundred years.

To sum up, land mergers are serious and the gap between rich and poor is huge.

The people who can't survive can only rebel and seek a way out.

Master Lu looked solemn, Does the princess have a good plan?

Didn't your lord have already seen it? Since the interests of the nobles of the family cannot be affected, then find a way to give the little people a way to survive and let the little people have another way to make money.

Gu Jiu looked at Master Lu with a half-smile.

Lord Lu raised his eyebrows, I didn't expect the princess to be so shallow.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Although I don't have much contact with Your Majesty, I can trust His Majesty's character. Even if Your Majesty tells His Majesty what he said, I don't need to worry. Your Majesty always knows what I'm doing.

So the princess's property can expand rapidly, and has never been suppressed by the court.

This princess is not only doing business, but also solving the difficulties of ordinary people. What reason does the court have to suppress the property under my name?

Mr. Lu laughed, The Shanhe Academy News published by Shanhe Academy often publishes some taboo articles, but has never been suppressed by the Press Department. Obviously, it is also because Shanhe Academy insists on running schools for free, which has won His Majesty's favor. The so-called taking from the people and using it for the people not only benefits the students, but also saves the princess from disaster.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, Master Lu sees far-reaching things, and this princess seems unable to refute.

Master Lu raised his eyebrows, Ma'am, the reason why you run Shanhe Academy is really to avoid disasters?

To be precise, running an academy serves multiple purposes. It can not only avoid disasters, but also discover talents, and provide an ideal place for children to study.

However, it costs a huge sum of millions of taels every year.

worth!

Lord Lu shook his head again and again, How much return does it take to invest a million taels a year to be considered 'worth it'? It's not so much about discovering talents as it is about reserving them.

Gu Jiu filled the teacup with water, Is your lord coming here today to attack my concubine?

Lord Lu shook his head again, I am assessing how ambitious the princess is.

Oh? Then dare to ask, does your lord have an answer?

The concubine is overthrowing the dynasty. Master Lu said loudly, Compared with the rebellious rebels, they are more harmful.

No!

Gu Jiu's expression was calm, and she was not intimidated by Master Lu's words.

The dynasty is continuing the old path of the previous dynasty, but I am trying to find a new path.

Your new path may lead the dynasty to the point of no return.

My princess remembers, that's not what my lord said in front of His Majesty back then. My lord clearly said that you can try a new path. Why did you become stubborn and conservative today?

Lord Lu laughed, Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the princess.

Gu Jiujing listened to the following.

Wangfei wants to find a new path, which means that there is only one path for you and His Royal Highness Qin Wang.

Gu Jiu nodded without denying, This road has already seen the light of day.

Lord Lu considered it carefully and said: I dare to guess, the reason why His Majesty changed his mind is probably because of Young Master Yu.

Gu Jiu was noncommittal.

Lord Lu shook his head and smiled, What's the attitude of His Highness King Qin?

Gu Jiu didn't rush to answer, but instead asked: What is your position in asking this question?

Master Lu said as a matter of course: The identity of the important minister of the court.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, Isn't it His Majesty's confidant?

Not only is this His Majesty's confidant, but also an important minister of the court.

One day in the future, there will be a change of people in the palace, what will your lord do?

Of course, do your part.

What's your duty? Gu Jiu kept asking.

Master Lu said with a serious face: As a subject, it is my duty to protect the Great Zhou Dynasty for Your Majesty.

Gu Jiu laughed, My concubine's attitude is the attitude of His Royal Highness Qin Wang.

Mr. Lu was obviously a little surprised.

Gu Jiu smiled and said: I know what your lord is thinking. Liu Zhao is not as conservative as your lord imagined, he can listen to other people's opinions.

That's why I'm worried. I'm worried that if I take too many steps, I'm eager for success, and I will eventually burn myself.

Thank you for reminding me. I will always reflect on myself and strive for small steps forward.
