When Deng Cunli walked out of the warehouse, he saw his apprentice Zhao Minfa waiting outside.
"master!"
Zhao Minfa greeted him with a smile on his face.
Deng Cunli asked him: "Why did you come here if you weren't waiting by your wife?"
Zhao Minfa hurriedly explained: "Madam sent me over to invite you to Xiaozhu."
Deng Cunli nodded, "Lead the way ahead."
"Master, please."
Deng Cunli has been back to Beijing for a while and has been very busy.
He followed Zhao Min to send Xiaozhu to meet Gu Jiu.
"Is the madam better?"
"Tired, worry, my health is much better. Sit down and talk."
Gu Jiu put tea and snacks in the flower hall, apparently preparing for a long talk with Deng Cunli.
Deng Cunli bowed slightly and sat down on the round stool in a manner.
Gu Jiu greeted him for a cup of tea, and then asked, "Are the goods ready?"
Deng Cunli nodded, "According to the lady's order, five million taels of goods have been prepared. Three million taels of goods have been shipped, and two million goods are left in the warehouse. They will be shipped away within ten days. Old slaves will follow the end. A consignment headed to the northwest."
Gu Jiu said with satisfaction: "You have done a good job. In the past two years, God hasn't been eye-opening. From the north to the south, the price of the goods has fluctuated greatly. This time I asked you to transport five million taels of goods to the northwest. Do you know why?"
"Please show me my wife."
Gu Jiu tapped the tabletop lightly, and after some consideration, he said: "You have also seen that the capital is not peaceful. For a while, I can't be distracted by the situation in the northwest. Because Shanhe Academy, there are also women In the school, more and more people are staring at me.
However, the situation in the northwest has to be kept secret. It cannot be known that we are doing business with the Northwest Army. Because once his majesty knows, with his suspicion, he will definitely suspect that the majesty is colluding with the Northwest Army.
Therefore, we must take advantage of everyone's eyes on the grain and Jiangnan, as far as possible to deliver the goods for the next two years to the northwest. In the next two years, there will not be a large amount of goods sent to the northwest. I can only guarantee that there will be a small amount of goods to be added. In the next two or three years, all the difficulties in the Northwest will be solved by you. Are there any problems? "
"Thank you Madam for her trust in the old slave, the old slave is fine." Deng Cunli nodded his head heavily.
Gu Jiu laughed, "I knew it was right to give you the stall in the northwest. I heard that because of the huge amount of purchases, Xinmin County has many more businessmen, which is more lively than usual. It has attracted the attention of the court. ?"
Deng Cunli nodded, "Embroidery Guard has asked twice, but they were both sent by the old slave. The old slave told them that they stocked up in advance because they were afraid of the increase in the price of the goods in the south. I thought I believed the old slave's words."
"That's good! The goods in the warehouse are shipped out of Beijing as soon as possible, so as not to have extra branches. I am considering opening up a second commercial route. If it succeeds, all goods sent to the northwest in the future will not need to pass through the capital."
"Madam intends to start a new business?" Deng Cunli was surprised.
Gu Jiu nodded, "With this idea, I have sent someone to investigate along the way. If it is indeed feasible, I will find a way to facilitate this."
Deng Cunli was a little worried, "Will it arouse the attention of the court? Opening up business is not a trivial matter after all."
Gu Jiu laughed, "You can rest assured about this. The most worrying thing about the court now is how to resettle the victims. The government cannot and can't keep the victims.
At this time, if I propose to raise funds to build a cement road and build irrigation channels in the disaster area by the way, but give priority to recruiting people affected by the disaster, the court will be very happy to cooperate. This solved their big problem, and the court could save a lot of food and grass. "
"Does the madam want to replicate a Xinmin county in the disaster area?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Xinmin County can't replicate it, even I can't. However, several major projects can be started at the same time to solve the problem of food and resettlement for the victims."
"This matter is laborious and costly. And there will be no gains in a short time. Instead, a lot of money will be posted. The old slave does not understand, why did the lady do such a thankless thing? Besides, the disaster area is away from the capital. Thousands of miles away, those are not the madam’s responsibility."
Deng Cunli could not understand at all.
Gu Jiu nodded, "It is indeed not my responsibility."
"Is the madam inviting people to buy people's hearts for your Highness?"
"Of course not! As you said, the disaster area is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the hearts of the people there cannot affect the overall situation of the capital."
"Then why does Madam do these things?"
Gu Jiu clapped his hands, and the maid Aqing knew the machine, took out a map from the study, An Ge, and unfolded it in front of Deng Cunli.
The map that occupies a desktop, draws the world very clearly. One river and one river, mountains and rivers, towns and villages...
Deng Cunli had never seen such a high-resolution map before, and he was shocked instantly.
"This this……"
His expression was excited and could not be restrained.
What is the map?
In this era, the map is a weapon of the military.
It is a treasure that must never be revealed to others.
It is a top-secret document that only a few people have the privilege of seeing.
A complete map means taking the lead in the war.
In an ancient society with a vast land and sparse population, there is no map, and soldiers can be taken into the ditch in minutes.
Especially when fighting in the field, the map is a magic weapon to protect your life and give the enemy the first opportunity.
In history, I don't know how many people lost their way in combat, thus wasting the opportunity to fight, and even rewriting the history of a family and a country.
This shows the importance of maps.
Especially such a high-definition and accurate map.
This is a peerless treasure!
Without waiting for Deng Cunli’s inquiry, Gu Jiu first explained:
This map, which took several years to draw, should be the most complete map in the whole world. This is all thanks to the teachers of the academy. Shanchuan has this map."
Deng Cunli was surprised, "Madam means that this map was drawn by the teachers and students of the college? This, this... Isn't the lady worried that they will leak the wind?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "You misunderstood, the map was drawn by my wife. The teachers and students of the college are responsible for providing me with data from various places to ensure the accuracy of the map."
"Madam did it by hand?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "This terrible event cannot be handed over to the people below. I can only write it myself. Actually, I wanted to do this many years ago. At that time, I suffered from the lack of accurate data and only plotted it. A rough map of the capital.
After the Academy set up the World Tour Project, Mr. Academy led a team to tour the world with outstanding students. I gave them homework, collecting data on people's customs, geology, and topography of mountains and rivers. Then I gathered it up and got this map. "
For the sake of confidentiality, Gu Jiu painted the whole process by hand.
Asked the bookstore to send a set of printing tools, and Liu Zhao personally used it and printed two sets in color.
One set was taken to Jiangnan by Liu Zhao.
Gu Jiu said, "You are the fifth person who knows the existence of this map. Remember to keep it secret."
"Even if the old slave is dead, he won't reveal a word! It's just how it relates to the lady's plan."
Gu Jiu casually drew a circle on the map, "This is the hardest hit this year. Next to it is the prosperous Jiangnan. Can you see it?"
Deng Cunli frowned, "Madam wants to visit Jiangnan?"
Gu Jiu laughed and shook his head, "I want to go through the grain-producing areas. The land of fish and rice has a lot to do. Now the annual grain production is less than one-twentieth of the potential.
If all of this area is developed, the waters will be opened up, water conservancy projects will be built, fertile land will be reclaimed, and poor people in the northwest will be moved there to cultivate wasteland. When the population is dense and the rice silos are full in the future, that will be a veritable land of fish and rice. "
Deng Cunli frowned. "Madam used to say that there is not much money to be made from farming. Why do you change your mind now?"
Gu Jiu's hand moved slowly to the north, and finally landed in Xinmin County. "Xinmin County is the foundation of this lady, but this foundation has a fatal weakness. He has no backup and no way out.
Now God has given an opportunity to give this lady the opportunity to intervene in this large area of population. As long as it is properly managed, a few years later, here will be our second foundation and our backup.
The population, food, students, and various resources here are all available to me. You only need to invest a small amount of money to get all of this. This lady has no reason to let out the opportunity to be delivered. "
"Where is the government? How does the madam plan to deal with the government? The court will not just sit back and watch the madam pass here without asking."
Gu Jiu chuckled, "So we need a supporting plan to attract the attention of everyone inside and outside the court. Let people ignore this place."
Deng Cunli instantly understood Gu Jiu's plan.
"Madam intends to use the college and bookstores to attract the attention of the court?"
"Exactly! Don't forget that we still have Sanyuan Gong."
When Sanyuan Gong came out, who cared about the people in the disaster area thousands of miles away.
Deng Cunli was shocked, "Could it be that Mrs. San Yuan had already thought of today."
"Of course not that god. This lady is not a fortune teller. It is impossible to expect such a serious disaster in Jiangling a few years ago. This lady recruited Sanyuan Gong because of his reputation and influence. Maybe It can come in handy anytime. Obviously, this move is right. San Yuan Gong did not live up to the kindness that this lady treated him."
Gu Jiu's treatment for San Yuan Gong is definitely a high salary.
Enough Sanyuangong to feed a large family, and more than enough.
San Yuan Gong, this lady never failed you.
Don't let this lady down!
