Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 67 The conversation between the two

Gu Yu's family lives in the village, so you can imagine how difficult life is.

Gu Yu burst out laughing and said, "I'm really fine. If something happens, I will definitely tell you."

Meng Qi is one of the few people she can talk to. If something really happens and she can't solve it by herself, it's not impossible to ask her for help. I have nothing to do, so I don't need to owe those favors.

Meng Qi still wanted to drink, so he asked Gu Yu if there was any wine at home.

Gu Yu went to the room and took out the ginseng wine that Gu Wu had brought and joked: "Of course there is, this is the thousand-year-old ginseng wine I concocted for my father."

Meng Qi said embarrassedly: "Isn't it too expensive to give me such an expensive wine?"

"Wine is meant for drinking. There's no way it's too valuable to drink." He poured a glass of wine for Meng Qi.

Seeing that he was the only one who had it, Meng Qi thought that Gu Yu was reluctant to drink it and kept the wine untouched. When Gu Yu saw this, he said, "Drink it!"

"You stay with me, I can't drink enough by myself."

"I can't drink, I'm inconvenienced." Last time she didn't know she was pregnant and she drank a lot. Now she knows her physical condition. She wants to have three healthy babies, so she can't drink alcohol.

Meng Qi looked at Gu Yu and said with a smile: "Sister understands, sister understands, then I won't be polite."

Gu Yu: "..."

What do you know? You know that aunt can't drink it.

Not being able to drink wine did not prevent the two of them from chatting while eating and sharing the changes in the past three months. Gu Yu said: "I originally wanted to open the shop earlier, but there are too many things at home, so I have been putting it off until now."

Meng Qi felt the same way: "Yes! Two months ago I wanted to go to the village to go hunting with you in the mountains, but something happened in Fucheng, so I went over to deal with it. It took a whole month to solve it."

Gu Yu asked casually, "Have everything been settled?"

Meng Qi looked bitter when talking about the matter in Fucheng: "It was settled, but it took four to fifty thousand taels of silver to settle. Our family's industry is mainly in Linfeng County, but the transportation of goods needs to go through Fucheng."

I don’t know what’s going on in Fucheng? Since the Yunxi Chamber of Commerce suddenly emerged a few months ago, it has taken over most of the city's resources with lightning speed.

There were a lot of troubles caused by the three big families and some small families in Fucheng.

The entire mansion of the prefect was burned down, and the people sent from above didn't know what to think. The seizure of more than 100,000 silver taels of wood from her family forced her to go there in person.

Thinking about it, it cost a lot to transport this batch of wood back, and so much money was used to fill the loopholes later. No matter how you calculate this batch of wood, it will be a loss.

Gu Yu raised his eyebrows: It took so much money to solve the problem. It seems that the matter is not small!
He poured himself a cup of tea, drank tea with Meng Qi instead of wine, and said: "Money is something external to the body, and it's good for people to have nothing to do."

Meng Qi drank the wine in the glass, felt the wine go down his throat, and felt his stomach warm up. He said, "I think so too, but my father is holding a breath in his heart. I'm afraid that if time goes on, I will suffer from something wrong." .”

Gu Yu put down the tea cup, paused for a while and said, "How do you say this?"

"Yu Mei doesn't know much about Fucheng. Fucheng is in chaos right now. The big aristocratic families are busy fighting for territory, and the smaller aristocratic families are clinging to their family property, creating a mess." Meng Qi didn't want to tell Gu Yu this at first. According to what she said to Gu Yu, Understand that sooner or later you will come into their circle.

Rather than letting her know nothing, it is better to talk to her yourself, so as to avoid not understanding those people and being plotted.

He approached Gu Yu and whispered in her ear: "Three months ago, something big happened in Fucheng. The entire mansion of the prefect was burned down. The prefect, his family, and servants all died."

He pointed his finger to the sky and said, "The new magistrate from above has just taken office. He should have received strict orders to investigate this matter thoroughly. Many families in the city are in danger!" Gu Yu said calmly, pretending to be surprised: "how come?"

Meng Qi sighed and said: "That's not all. A new force suddenly appeared in the city. The aristocratic families were overwhelmed. In addition, the government intervened from time to time, and the whole city became even more chaotic."

"Sister Qi, you know that my sister has been living in the village and doesn't know the outside world. What is this chamber of commerce that my sister is talking about?"

"Oh, my sister only knows that this chamber of commerce is called Yunxi Chamber of Commerce. I don't know anything else about Sister An's family background!" When her family heard about the chamber of commerce, it was not that they didn't send people to investigate, but unfortunately they had little foundation. , I can’t find out who is behind the Chamber of Commerce, and which party or faction they belong to.

They only know that every city has a base of the Chamber of Commerce. If they want to inquire more, they know nothing.

"According to what my sister said, could it be that the Chamber of Commerce is behind this?" As the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, could Gu Yu not know that Guan Xian and the others were suppressing the local aristocratic families?

No, she knew, she was the one who allowed it to be done.

Local families have lived in one place for decades, even hundreds of years. Some people don't want new forces to carve up their resources, so they will naturally suppress the chamber of commerce.

If the Chamber of Commerce wants to gain a foothold, it can only use the most powerful means to compete with local aristocratic families for cakes and resources.

As for the government's seizure of the Meng family's timber, she thought that either the new prefect was not a good person and wanted to take advantage of the chaos. Either it's the superior's means to take advantage of the chaos to bring down the established family and support their own people to rise to power.

After all, it's not just the people above who are arm wrestling.

The Meng family's power was too small to find out more information. He picked up his wine glass and drank with Gu Yu and said, "I guess so, who else would be so powerful!"

When gods fight, little devils suffer. These little minions need to be careful in the future. Who knows whether the Chamber of Commerce will come to the county to open a branch in the next moment.

If they come, they won't be able to withstand the Chamber of Commerce's onslaught.

After talking about the city, Meng Qi told Gu Yu the taboos of some wealthy families in the county and asked her to be more careful when opening a shop so as not to offend those dandies.

After hearing this, Gu Yu silently sipped her tea and said, "Thank you, Sister Qi, for telling me this." He poured another cup of tea and said, "Sister, I would like to give you a cup of tea, Sister Qi."

Meng Qi drank the wine boldly and said, "When a girl calls me sister, I naturally want to protect her."

He patted Gu Yu on the shoulder and said, "In our county, sister still has some respect. If you encounter those people who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, feel free to come see me."

Gu Yu: "..."

Although he is also a wealthy person, Meng Qi's words still warmed his heart, "If something happens to my sister, I will definitely ask her to help her get justice."

The two looked at each other, and Meng Qi laughed loudly, "The girl's nimbleness is very similar to that of my sister. She deserves it, and we fell in love at the first sight..."

It's not that Gu Yu doesn't have friends in the village, it's just that he seems to have never had any friends with whom he can talk and talk.

After several gatherings with Meng Qi, she felt that he was a really nice person. He was carefree and aboveboard in his words and deeds. He was exactly the kind of person she admired.

One of them drank wine and the other drank tea. They talked happily until they had eaten and drank, because Meng Qi had to supervise the work. After dinner, they made an appointment to meet again next time. They quietly touched and left a tael of silver on the table before leaving. .

When Gu Yu sent her out and came back, Yang took the money and said, "This child is really good. She comes to eat and gives you money. You should talk to her well next time."
