After repeated discussions, the Gu and Li families selected more than a dozen outstanding young juniors to deliver food and grass to the Northwest for support, and stayed there by the way.
Some want to join the army, while others used to develop commercial business, cooperate with mines and other matters, and they also need their own people to make decisions, and management alone cannot succeed.
In the past few years, the Northwest Business Road failed to recover the money, and gave it to the Northwest generals. The management power is too great, and it is necessary for my son to go and check carefully. If there is any act of betrayal, the network resources of all parties must be re-integrated into the hands. .
Many of these matters are not competent, and there must be a son who can make decisions.
The Gu and Li families also sent a few elders and uncles who were mature, stable and able to make up their minds, and took this opportunity to pick up the contacts in the Northwest again and hold them in their hands.
Gu Ping and other sons followed to the northwest, he was very happy to go to the northwest to join the army, and he also understood the intention of Gu Lei and his wife and the meaning of supporting them.
Now is a good opportunity, and it is also an opportunity for him.
If you can get the attention of the Northwest Commander and form a good relationship, your future will not be difficult.
The two sons who were sent there also understood their mission. If they were in the capital before, such good things would not be their turn. Now it is different. Naturally, they are very happy and willing to go to the northwest to gain a future.
Boss Li and Gu Lei sent everyone away.
"When you go there, remember to write a letter and come back. If you don't have enough money, just ask."
Li Yu asked them to take away almost 80% of the family's money, allowing them to handle it flexibly, fearing that they would not have enough money outside.
Three grandfathers of the Li family and the Gu family went to the Northwest this time, and three of them went with each other, as a way to give the younger generations some experience.
"Don't worry, when we arrive, we will write back to report that we are safe."
After sending them away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The food and medicinal materials bought in the summer were sent to the northwest with the ship, so it depends on how they fumble.
"They will be safe."
Li Yu muttered worriedly.
"There is no need to worry about security issues for the time being. The Northwest is short of money and food. As long as there is a place where we are needed, we must protect our people."
Boss Li patted his daughter to comfort her and told her not to worry too much.
"Alright. Dad, you can also send some people from the Cao Gang to find some opportunities."
"Brother Rui, you and Leizi messed up this matter, please worry about it."
"become."
"Father, I have asked for a few places in Jiangnan Academy. The steward opened a shop there to sell things, donated some money to the academy, and got some face. I am thinking about discussing with you, who should I send there?"
Such a rare and precious opportunity was found by Li Yu bit by bit. It was not easy to waste a lot of hard work and money.
"You have made a great contribution this time. How did you pry the head of the head of Jiangnan Academy?"
Boss Li was also surprised.
"I donated some money in the name of you and my grandfather. I sorted out a handwritten note made by the organization and donated it. The head of the mountain agreed after seeing my sincerity. He asked for a donation of two thousand taels of silver every year. I made the decision. gone."
Opportunities are really rare. There are talents in Jiangnan, and the level is different. Such opportunities cannot be bought with money. In fact, there is no shortage of people who give money. They just want to pick people who give me money.
"Okay, good girl, you did a great job this time, so the Gu and Li families will get half of the money."
"become."
It’s not that you can’t afford to pay, but that you must have rules and regulations in your actions, and you can’t take it for granted and pretend to be generous.
"Grandpa, this time you choose someone, so as not to say that we have selfish intentions."
"My silly boy, it's not that if you are a scholar, you can't get into Jiangnan Academy. At the age of fifteen, you must be a scholar, or if you are about ten years old, you must be in the top three. The requirements are high."
Grandpa Gu shook his head and chuckled, the academy has strict rules.
"With such a high requirement, how many people can our family choose?"
"I guess I can't pick five."
"Then I want eight places, what to do with the rest, it's too bad to give away."
"Don't worry, go back and let the children from the outer sect go. It's okay to pick a few children, let Xin Ge and Xu Ge go."
Grandpa Gu wants to pick a half-grown child to go.
Everyone go back to discuss this matter.
As soon as the news came out in the Gu family, the Gu family was in a state of excitement. This is simply too rare.
Being able to study in Jiangnan Academy basically has a stable future, and the study atmosphere there is really good.
This time, Grandpa Gu was the main candidate for the selection. Brother Xin took one place, and two talented children who were also heroic heroes took up two places. The rest went to Juren who failed the ranking. of.
Brother Xu and Xu Yang on the other end of the Li family occupy two places. Xu Yang is a good seedling who studies and is already the number one child student. Brother Xu is the third and has chosen two sons from other families.
This time when I go to Jiangnan, the two families will send their grandparents and uncles to take care of the business there, and also to take care of these children. In the bustling Jiangnan, there are no elders to watch over them, for fear that they will learn wrongly.
After packing up his luggage, he boarded the boat and was about to leave. Brother Xu grew up in the blink of an eye, and now he can’t see his previous state.
The child has grown up, no longer clinging to his sister, and has his own good friends and friends.
"In the past, we must be united, study hard, avoid bad habits, supervise and take care of each other."
"Remember, sister, please reply, I will write to you."
Brother Xu shook his hands happily. It was the first time he left his family and left home. There was no melancholy but longing and happiness.
"Stinky boy, study hard, or I will beat you up."
Li Yu shouted at the departing ship.
The children waved at her, winked and made faces.
"These bad boys..."
"Let's go."
Gu Lei took his wife back home.
After finishing these things, it’s time to enter winter, and it’s almost time for the farm to slack.
Li Yu has been busy for a year and it is time to rest, so he will be busy at home.
His Royal Highness's workshop is doing very well this year, and it is expected that next year it will be able to return the money. Many refugees and ordinary people have been arranged to work in it, and the work is booming.
It was getting colder and colder, Li Yu was lazy and didn't want to move.
Gu Lei entered the room and saw her dozing off, so he couldn't help teasing her with his cold hands.
"Oh, Ice Cold, you're back."
Li Yu opened his sleepy eyes.
"Doze off in broad daylight, don't sleep too much and you won't be able to fall asleep at night."
Before the noon break, Gu Lei talked to her with a smile.
Li Yu yawned, "I don't know what's wrong, I just fell asleep sitting here, I've been dozing off for a while."
Gu Lei frowned, and called out loudly, "Go and see where the government doctor is, please come here."
"yes."
"No, I just checked the pulse a few days ago, and I'm fine."
Li Yu waved his hand and yawned again.
"See if you feel at ease, are you tired?"
Gu Lei touched her forehead distressedly, but she didn't have a fever.
The government doctor came over, and Gu Lei got up to greet her, "Doctor Wang, please show my wife, she is not in good spirits, and her complexion is not very good."
"Let me see."
After returning the gift, the government doctor sat down and took a breath before checking her pulse.
After a while, he smiled.
