She further explained: "Moreover, when the canal is opened, a large number of merchant ships and cargo ships will pass through. This will not only provide job opportunities for nearby people, but will also greatly facilitate our travel."

"I know, I understand everything you said." Gu Wu sighed and said slowly: "Yu'er, I know your idea is good, but this matter cannot be solved by your investment. All aspects need to be carefully considered.”

Looking at Gu Yu with some worry, he continued: "Have you ever thought that not everyone is a good official for the country and the people, just like a jujube tree can produce a few crooked jujubes."

"Our family funded the construction of the canal. What should we do if we encounter someone with bad intentions who misappropriates money?"

"Also, funding the construction of rivers will definitely prolong the time of corvee work. If the money cannot be received in time, won't the people have to suffer?"

well! This is a tricky thing! Once handled improperly, it may lead to a series of problems such as corrupt officials taking bribes, suffering for the people, and chaos in the world.

Some time ago, Gu Yu was told not to do anything that would be disrespectful to this land. Now Gu Yu wants to get involved in building the canal.

Yang listened quietly on the sidelines. She knew the importance of this matter, so she did not express her opinion easily and listened quietly to the discussion between father and daughter.

Gu Yu sneered and said: "Dad, don't worry, now that I have made a decision, I will definitely arrange for someone to contact the court to ensure that the problems you are worried about will not arise."

If someone wants to reach out to her money, no matter how old the other party is, they will definitely let the other party know that her money does not mean that you can take it whenever you want, but you will have to pay a price.

Gu Wu was still worried and said: "There are thousands of officials in the world, you can see them."

Gu Yu sneered, with a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes: "There are only a thousand people, and the Chamber of Commerce has more than 20,000 people. If they dare to extend their hands to help build the canal, I don't mind cutting off their hands."

Gu Wu looked at Gu Yu's eyes and saw the cruelty and hostility hidden in them, but he did not feel scared or strange about it. On the contrary, it is this ruthlessness and determination that can control the changes in the Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, his expression lost its previous seriousness, and he asked another important question: "You want to fund the construction of this canal. Do our families have enough funds?"

Gu Yu replied without hesitation: "It's enough, even more than enough."

The gold and silver in the treasure house are piled up like a mountain, and with the huge profits made by the Chamber of Commerce in the past six months, her current wealth is enough to buy ten large Qi dynasties.

Five hundred million silver is not a problem to her.

The reason for discussing with Gu Wu was that she wanted to buy land, build a house to rent out, and become a housekeeper.

Gu Wu: "..."

Don't think that other people don't understand anything. Building a canal is such a big thing, it is difficult to persist without gold and silver.

Gu Yu said enough, he really didn't dare think about how much money his family had.

Probe: "How much do you want to invest?"

Gu Yu touched his nose and said, "Five hundred million silver."

"How much?" Gu Wu and Yang asked in unison, their voices slightly louder.

"Five hundred million silver."

"Ouch, old man, please help me, I'm dazzled." Yang was dizzy by Gu Yu's shameless words and said, stroking her chest.

Gu Wu originally thought that a maximum of 10 million taels would be enough, and he could not imagine how much silver he would have if it was 500 million taels. Not only was his eyes dazzled now, he was also dizzy. He supported Yang and asked tremblingly: "Are you sure it is 500 million taels, not 500 taels?"

Five hundred taels? The gap between his teeth was not enough, so he said: "If you want to do it, do it bigger, five hundred taels is enough for it." Then he said: "So the canal will definitely be built successfully. The wharf is located at our place, and there will definitely be construction around it. Build a lot of shops. I want to buy some land. When the pier is built, we can build houses and shops there. In this way, we can do business at home and rent houses to other people."

What can Gu Wu and Yang say!

In the beginning, they could still make the decision in this family. Now that Gu Yu is capable and far-sighted, of course they will listen to Gu Yu's orders.

Gu Yu, carrying 10,000 taels of silver notes, took Qiu Yue and drove the carriage left by Guan Xian to the government office, and found the chief clerk to explain his purpose.

The head clerk was very surprised that Gu Yu wanted to buy land at the pier and said: "Miss Gu, you are planning to buy land near the pier."

Gu Yu understood that not only the people were dissatisfied with entering the canal, but some officials in the government felt that there was no need to bother with the country's peace and security.

The chief secretary's tone was obviously not optimistic about the construction of the canal: "Yes! I heard that the wharf will be built on the opposite side of the mountain not far from our village. My father and I discussed buying a piece of land there and planned to go back to build a house and do some work there. Buy and sell.”

He has had several contacts with Gu Yu, and last time he was personally brought here to handle matters. The chief clerk had a good impression of Gu Yu and did not want Gu Yu to make unnecessary investments. He said tactfully: "If the girl has enough money, I suggest that the girl buy as much farmland as possible."

The prospect of dock construction is not clear, and the specific completion level is currently unknown. Gu Yu should not invest money in it, as it will not make any splash.

Gu Yu knew that it was a kind act for the chief clerk to give her a commoner a heads up, but she knew better than anyone else that the canal would definitely be built. She smiled lightly and said: "The grassroots' home is in Banshan Village. If there is such a thing, the grassroots would think When I go home to start a business, I also ask the chief bookkeeper to help me select a few places.”

When the chief clerk heard that Gu Yu's decision was so firm, as an outsider, he should have reminded him, but Gu Yu didn't listen. Without further words, he opened the booklet and introduced the price of the land in detail, "The flat land around the dock is three to two acres per acre, and the surrounding area is all wasteland. It costs one or two cents per acre, and the hills are cheaper, three hundred cents per acre. The girl wants to choose." where."

Gu Yu: "..."

Is it so cheap? The inner perimeter is three taels and one mu. A ten thousand tael banknote can buy three thousand acres.

She has far more than 10,000 taels of silver on her, and it's not a problem to spend tens of thousands more taels. She can buy more wasteland or even a few hills to grow fruits and vegetables or develop them into tourist areas or resorts.

With such a cabbage price, I really want to finish this cake by myself.

He clenched his fists, confirmed the price with the bookkeeper again and again, and made a decision immediately: "I need three thousand acres of land inside the dock, the same three thousand acres outside, and I need five hills."

Forget it, I have a small belly and can’t finish such a big piece of pie, so I’d better leave some of it for others!
Main bookkeeper: "..."

Come on, not only did this child not listen to the advice, but she also bought so much land after hearing that the price was cheap. I really don’t know what to say to her.

well! The head clerk murmured in his heart: If this girl is his own, he must deal with her well.

Gu Yu paid 14,000 taels of silver and received a stack of land deeds. Before leaving the government office, the servant next to Mu Qianxue called out: "Miss Gu, my lord has invited me."

Gu Yu: "?"

Mu Qianxue is looking for her?
It seems that she and Mu Qianxue have only met three times! What did the trustee call her for?
Arriving at Mu Qianxue's office, Mu Qianxue said straight to the point: "Miss Gu, if the official guessed correctly, the child in the girl's belly should be the young master's. I wonder if the young master knows that the young lady is pregnant."

The moment Mu Qianxue's words came out, Gu Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp. Qiuyue immediately stepped in front of Mu Qianxue, hit him on the chest with a palm, and scolded: "How dare you question the master!"
