Chapter 299

Li Yu solved a lot of practical difficulties for everyone. Some people want to go home and discuss it. Let the old lady come over and set up a stall. At least they can make some money. There are many people working here. Meals and small businesses can still be done.

With the opportunity of on-the-spot investigation, many people were moved.

The Family of the Aristocrats also took the initiative to meet with Gu Lei, hoping to get a share of the small town, especially the dock.

Gu Lei quickly took the initiative, contacted several large chambers of commerce, paid him a deposit in advance, and built the town together, on the condition that the warehouse at the dock can be divided into two, and a good location for the shop can be given.

This is a transit town, there are docks and shops, and it is inconvenient to sell goods to other areas. It is inconvenient to not have such a place, and it will cost more to detour from other places.

Gu Lei got better and better as he worked harder, and Li Yu assisted him a little to remind him to avoid detours, and his work became better and better.

Several sons came to check several times, and they all returned satisfied.

His Highness looked at Gu Lei's account book, and the account was very clear and careful. Seeing that the chamber of commerce had invested so much money, and there was money for the construction of towns and cities in the spring of next year, he didn't need to pay for it, so he liked to appreciate him more and more.

Now the family and His Royal Highness know that Gu Lei and his wife are very capable, and Li Yu is also a capable person, but he is relatively low-key and unwilling to show it to others, respectful and understands the rules.

The wives of the aristocratic family got the instruction of the men at home, and offered an olive branch to Li Yu, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate together, and no one would think too much money.

Aristocratic families have many descendants, and it is everyone's consensus that the cultivation of descendants is inseparable from money.

Especially in the past few years in order to support His Royal Highness the Night King, the elites have been plundered a lot, and they have no money in their pockets, and they are in need of money.

Li Yu is a money sledgehammer. No one else can compare with her in earning ability. Her brain turns too fast.

The Night King has breathed a sigh of relief in the past few years. He doesn't need to hand in expensive annual offerings. In the past few years, there have been no major problems in the harvest. He has also repaired river embankments, resettled the people, and done a lot of practical things.

Several surrounding areas also openly supported the Night King and sought his protection. Now the army can move freely in the outskirts of Fandi.

These regions paid taxes to the Night King. The Night King did not take the opportunity to blackmail him, but paid taxes according to the previous rules. The taxes paid were not many, and they were all at normal levels. These regions were very grateful and voted for him sincerely.

With this gentle annexation method, Ye Wang's land has expanded a large circle, and both sides of the river bank are his territory.

However, the pressure has also followed. There are many more refugees, and many people are still suffering.

And as his reputation slowly leaked out, many refugees who couldn't survive and people who could do something continued to come to join the Night King, and his pressure was increasing.

It takes money to be king and hegemony, money is also needed to fight wars, and even more money is needed to raise soldiers.

Night King's eyes are all about making money now, and he is about to be tortured insane.

The sons are going to do the shipping, and they are also making money for Lao Tzu, but this matter requires his son to be famous, and it is actually a preparation for the Night King to raise more money to raise soldiers and appease the people.

In case of war, we must be prepared in advance.

This pier also has military considerations. It was chosen to build a town here after many investigations. Everyone decided to give it a go.

Several old generals strongly recommended Gu Lei to build this small town. Firstly, it is not conspicuous, and secondly, it can be said that we care about the younger generation of the Gu family and give them a chance.

It is easy to explain to the outside world, without too much fanfare, which makes people overly nervous.

Generally, food and grass in wars are transported by boat, which is fast and relatively safe. There are bandits in the water, but there are not so many, far less than the number of bandits on land.

It is much more convenient to transport to and from the own wharf, so many considerations are chosen here.

Gu Lei hurried back to look for Li Yu at noon.

"Yu'er, change into your clothes and follow me. Your Highness and Princess want to see you alone."

"What happened?"

Grandpa Gu stood up immediately with a serious expression.

"Grandpa, don't be nervous. It's for shipping and workshops. I want Yu'er to help with it. Your Highness is too short of money. The treasury doesn't have enough money. You need to raise soldiers, take care of the people's tax exemption, and build land. money."

"Your Highness sees that Yu'er has managed to make a few workshops and has made a lot of money. He values ​​her ability, so he wants her to do it together, and His Highness will pay for it."

"What are you doing outside? Push your wife out of the door. It's so easy to deal with open swords and dark arrows outside. You owe it."

Grandpa Gu stared, raised his hand and patted his grandson a few times.

"I didn't say it. His Highness specially asked my father-in-law and me to come back and discuss it with you."

"Let me ask you, if there is a storm outside that tries hard on your daughter-in-law, can you protect it?"

Grandpa Gu asked with a serious face.

Of course he knew that the Gu family would turn over immediately after this was done, but this was the clan wife he had worked so hard to marry, and he would never agree to sacrifice Yu'er for others' benefit.

"Grandpa, you are wrong. It wasn't Yu'er who did it, but me. Yu'er was directing me from behind, and I will take my uncles to do it together."

Gu Lei quickly explained.

Only then did Grandpa Gu let go of his hand.

"I'm going too. I don't trust you, and I'll let someone go in."

Grandpa Gu is worried, if the two children are cheated, it doesn't matter if the grandson is a rough man, my granddaughter-in-law can't be wronged, and the hundreds of members of the Gu family will have to entrust Yu'er to rest assured.

"Okay, you change your clothes and come with me. Your Highness is afraid that you won't want to go out and dare not disturb you. If you say you want to come, he will be happy before it's too late."

"Wait, I'm not for you, I'm for Yu'er, you're unreliable."

Grandpa Gu glared at his grandson and went into the house to change clothes.

Only then did Li Yu speak, "What did my father say, what kind of conditions have been changed, I am not happy to do it for nothing."

"You can't do it in vain. It has given the Li family and the Gu family a lot of benefits. Your uncles have been promoted, and they can be considered to have a firm foothold in the army. The power of the Sun family is under the control of the father-in-law. This matter is settled, and the father-in-law will keep his promise in the world." , Half of the country in the army is decided by my old father-in-law."

Gu Lei explained the stakes to his daughter-in-law, this is also for the father-in-law and for the two to move forward more steadily.

"Okay, I'm going to change clothes."

Li Yu went back to his room and changed into the clothes he had seen before, combed his hair again to look dignified and elegant, and only then did he help his grandfather go out together with the headdress.

Grandpa Gu sat in the carriage and asked his grandson, "Didn't you miss this before?"

"Afraid that you would not agree, His Highness will continue to observe, but I didn't expect Yu'er to do such a good job, it is really eye-catching, and I am worried that someone in the family will have bad intentions, so I took the initiative to talk to me and my father-in-law, and wanted me to come back to persuade you .”

Only then did Gu Lei explain.

This small town has already achieved preliminary results. Anyone with vision has seen the prospect and potential. It will rise in the beginning of spring, and it will be of great importance in less than three years. This wave of Gu Lei's credit has already been accumulated.

"Yu'er, if you don't want to do it, don't worry about it. Don't sacrifice your own interests for others. Protect yourself before you can protect others. Always remember this."

Grandpa Gu specifically told his daughter-in-law.

"Yes."

Li Yu smiled happily.
