Chapter 997: How to repay the grace of saving lives
The shareholders ate in the factory canteen at noon, and told their relatives and friends about the change of shareholders in the afternoon, and Gu Yun sent two groups of people, one to go to the government to go through the formalities, and the other to send money to Shi Tianmin.

The housekeeper of the Eldest Princess's Mansion looked at the guards of the Yeguo Mansion who came to deliver the money, pinched the envelope that was more bulging than last time, and thanked him again and again without crying.
After the formalities were completed at the end of the official mansion, the palace knew about it that day, and the sage just smiled, and asked Bai Ko's granddaughter if Bai Ko had any new business plans recently, otherwise taking over Shi Tianmin's farm shares with such a large sum of money would consume Bai Ko's large amount of reward money that Bai Ko had accumulated for several years, and it was her top priority to make money quickly.
Lord Jingyun didn't know Bai Ko's recent plans, but since she was now the majority shareholder of the farm, I believe she would definitely not let herself lose money, and it was quite exciting to see how the farm would develop in the future.
The news finally reached Shi Tianqi's ears, she learned that Bai Ko is now the number one major shareholder of the farm, remembering Gu Yun's eyes when she looked at Bai Ko, and then looking at the funeral that had not yet been done at home, as well as the attitude of her husband's family towards herself, she felt a vicious anger rushing back and forth in her heart, and wanted to kill all the men in this family, leaving a family of women to be bullied by the clan every day, take away property, and cry with nothing.
Shi Tianmin realized all the assets under his name, and the tens of thousands of taels of silver he made up were still a drop in the bucket, because a lot of money smuggled over the years had not been turned into assets and put there, and a considerable part of it was spent on winning over supporters, and in addition, they had to maintain the luxurious life of their heavenly children, eating hundreds of taels of silver at a meal was daily, the part of the assets was not large, farmland and mountains accounted for the majority, and there were several high-value textile factories, but the scale was far inferior to Gu Yun's workshop, especially in today's situation. Those who are willing to take over are slashing the price, and they can't sell it at a good price if they want to sell it for money, and how can they make money if there is no realizable physical object.
I regret that I used to use all the money to eat, drink and have fun, and now it's too late, seeing that the Eldest Princess's Mansion is going to become an empty shelf with no money to maintain decency, and so many people in the Mansion eat and drink Lazar every day It is an expense, and the helpless Eldest Princess has to reduce the population of the mansion, and the people also know that there is no point in consuming it, and they don't know how the saint will end up, and the future of the Eldest Princess's Mansion is unclear.
Bai Ko's new official took office, borrowed the territory of the palace to cook and set up a banquet in person, invited all the shareholders to have a big meal, and talked about going to the farm at the banquet, originally she wanted to go to see when she was a small shareholder, but she has not been there until now, and now she is the number one major shareholder, that is the must go.
As soon as she said this, everyone wanted to go, but everyone had their own things to do, and they couldn't get together during the previous year, and the final agreed result was that the major shareholders went on this trip, Gu Yun and Gong Changji had never been there, Ning Peilan was also very interested, plus Bai Ko, just two men and two women, and two cars were enough.
After the banquet, the four of them made an appointment for departure, sent someone to the farm to make preparations first, and they packed their bags and arranged things.
On the day of departure, Gu Yun borrowed from her grandmother a new carriage that she had just brought back from the craftsman a few days ago, which was exactly the same as Bai Ko's carriage, but she was an old lady with a commandment, the body of the carriage was wider, with more hidden compartments, and even a hook to hang a winter cloak, and a stove under the folding table, which could still make both sides of the opposite seat stretch their legs.
The palace chief and his family still brought their carriage, but it became used to pull luggage, and when they met on the street, the couple sat in Bai Ko and Gu Yun's car respectively, and they had to walk for most of the day by land, so don't make yourself uncomfortable.
There is only one safety specification for the new carriage, when there is a heater in the car, the ventilation window must be opened to prevent smoke poisoning, the windows are inlaid with glass, the sealing is very good, and the life is important.
The journey was very smooth, Lao Cui drove at the forefront, he was familiar with all kinds of road conditions, and with him leading, the cars behind him also walked steadily.
In fact, this road can lead all the way to the winter hunting ground, Guanzhuang Balidu, and the hill where the farm is the tail of the remaining veins of the Balidu mountain forest, so the mountain is not high, and you can finally reach the lush main mountain range by walking along the ridge.
After arriving at the farm, the accommodation arranged for everyone was Gu Yun's house on his own land, and he did not live in a ready-made village.
The stewards and deacons on the farm came early to wait, and the tripartite housekeeper to meet, especially to see the current number one shareholder Bai Ko general shopkeeper, she wants to add a deputy to themselves They have heard about it, the recommendation of this candidate is in the hands of their own masters, these stewards and deacons who have been on the farm for a lot of time are worried, I don't know how their masters will arrange, the deputy chief shopkeeper's monthly salary is thirty taels of silver, how many people are red-eyed, a year's money and the New Year's festival reward money add up, It's enough to buy a civilian house with one acre of land in Shangfang, who doesn't want to grab such a good errand.
After speaking to them with great skill, acknowledging their achievements, and soothing their anxieties, she left them for supper together, and then disbanded and rested, while she went out for a walk, and saw the hill in the distance, and looked in the direction of the mountain, and her heart was ready to move, and she had a new plan.
There are mountains and forests, there are mountain treasures, but the yield and quality of the wild are unstable, for their own appetite, engage in a mushroom artificial planting.
But this hill alone is not enough, or ...... Lease his forests to a saint?
Bai Qiao glanced at the mountain, turned his head, looked at Gu Yun and Ning Peilan, squinted his eyes and smiled silently.
Two imperial businessmen, ready-made lobbyists.
That's it.
Whether the saint rents or not is his business, but he has to try to mention it to him once, maybe there is still a chance to try, if he doesn't try, there is no chance at all.
After a night's rest, the next day, the four of them ran to every corner of the farm in a carriage, and even met the Song carpenter's family who had come to work on the farm earlier.
The villagers of those five villages have great respect for Gu Yun and others, and the incident provoked by Hedong Village at the beginning of the year gave them a profound lesson and memory that they will never forget in their lives, and they dare not be whimsical, and they are satisfied to earn the existing two money, men farming and women breeding, although now the grain and oil have to be bought for money, but the whole family earns more money than before, offsetting the increased living expenses, and the villagers have a stable and good life, and no one wants to annoy these nobles to return to the previous poor days.
And so many victims from Dacheng Mansion were all scattered into these five villages, and their population was about the same as that of Hedong Village, so they were not allowed to live together, and they had to be dispersed and divided, not to mention that there was no extra vacant land for them to build their own villages.
Bai Ko deliberately looked at the construction of the factory area, and his grandfather's Zhangji iron shop was going to move over to open a large semicolon, and smelting required a lot of water, so they occupied a piece of land near the water, and the place that did not rely on water was used as a warehouse and other uses.
If the prototype is successful, Bai Ko promises to build a large factory that can use hundreds of new textile wheels, and strongly intervene in this traditional industry to grab business, and the Song family will also be richly rewarded.
Bai Ko spent several days walking around the farm, beyond the land boundary, the villagers of other villages knew that there was a big man who could be the master here, led by a prestigious old man, braved the cold of winter, a group of people came to see the person who was talking, begging Gu Yun and Gong Changji to lease the land of their village, to give the villagers a better way to live.
Gu Yun and Gong Changji naturally didn't rush to agree to them, but while inviting them to drink tea and rest, they asked them to bring Bai Ko back to talk to them.
Seeing that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was the one who was really in charge, these big men were dumbfounded, and they all felt that they had been humiliated by this trip, even if the people on the side said that Bai Ko was the number one shareholder and chief shopkeeper, it was really her who had the final say, and the villagers still didn't believe that such a big business was actually a little girl in charge.
Since they didn't listen, everyone stopped explaining, and after inviting refreshments, they sent them off.
The villagers left indignantly, and they all felt that Bai Ko had come for nothing, and Bai Ko was too lazy to pay attention to them, which was a waste of her time.
This little episode was thrown to the back of everyone's mind after a few jokes, Bai Ko finished reading all the land, walked along the border, and had a clear impression of the field in his heart, this trip can be regarded as over, and he can return to the capital.
On the day of the return trip, halfway through the noon, everyone got off the car to make a fire and cook some noodle soup for lunch, Gu Yun's nose was not breathing, wondering if he was infected with a cold, put down his rice bowl and went back to the car to take a nap, when he took off his shoes and lay down on the seat, the stove under the table was burning, and he forgot, in order to keep the car warm, he and the palace chief closed the ventilation window before getting off the car.
The palace chief ate hot noodle soup, talked to his wife for a while, waited for the next person to pour a hot water bottle of boiling water, brewed a new pot of tea, and the group returned to the car to open the door and get into the car.
Seeing that Gu Yun was sleeping soundly, everyone also told a few jokes, but when they put down the hot water bottle and tea tray, and the people got out of the car with the stove to prepare to change the new charcoal before putting it back, the palace chief Ji inadvertently raised his eyes, saw the closed ventilation window, and then looked at Gu Yun who was sleeping sweetly, and was suddenly shocked.
"Oops! Gu Yun! ā
The people outside the car door turned back in a panic, "Lord Wang! What's wrong? ā
The palace chief didn't have time to pay attention, he threw himself in front of Gu Yun and slapped him a few times, seeing that he couldn't wake up, and the car door was open, the cold wind blew in, Gu Yun was not awakened by the cold, this was obviously an accident.
"Gu Yun is poisoned by smoke, come and carry him down!"
A series of screams suddenly sounded around the carriage, Gu Yun's guards rushed into the car, two people carried him into the field, and the other took his cloak and spread it on the dry weeds first, and then carefully put the person down.
Bai Ko pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, first touched Gu Yun's neck vein, and found that it was still beating, so he immediately raised his chin to open the airway, untied his collar to observe the rise and fall of his chest, and then lowered his head and pinched his nose to give him artificial respiration.
The onlookers didn't dare to come out, they all watched quietly, and Ning Peilan leaned on her husband weakly, praying for Gu Yun nervously.
Gu Yun got into the car and went to sleep first, and the palace chief delayed for a while, but in general, the interval was not long, and the discovery was timely, Gu Yun did not fall into a deep coma, Bai Qiao only did a short period of artificial respiration and then woke up, but deliberately lay motionless with his eyes closed, wanting to let this indescribable moment last a little longer.
But how can this kind of cleverness fool Bai Ko, he can deceive others just by pretending to be dead, but spontaneous breathing is enough to expose his little abacus.
Bai Ko found out that he was actually waking up and deliberately pretending to be dead, and instead of making a big noise, he straightened up, pulled his collar wider, and began to do chest compressions.
The force of the chest compression was enough to cause a rib injury, and Bai Ko sincerely gave him a little hardship, focusing all his strength on his hands and pressing hard.
"Whew!" Gu Yun screamed and sat up, clutching his chest and panting in pain, "The bone is broken!" ā
Everyone saw that Gu Yun was alive, and they didn't care if he had broken bones, and cheered excitedly, and the guards of the Yeguo Mansion thanked all the gods in the sky, if something really happened to the prince, they would all have to go around without food.
"Gu Yun! Did you know it scared us to death?! You don't open the ventilation window when you sleep? Want to die?! The palace chief squatted down, hugged Gu Yun for a while, and then slapped him on the head, and scolded him.
"Still fighting? I'm all broken to the bones, and you're still hitting me so hard?! ā
"Well deserved!" The palace chief raised his slap and was about to hit again, but Gu Yun hurriedly hugged his head and shrank into a ball.
"Lord Wang, he was stupid enough, if he fights stupidly, it will be difficult to explain to Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Guo when he goes back, so let's leave it to them." Bai Ko suggested in a quiet tone.
"Makes sense, listen to you." The palace chief took his hand and got up, "Let your father and mother teach you a lesson." ā
"Hey, hey, don't you want to be so ruthless?! I just survived?! ā
"You brought it on yourself, and no one sympathizes with you."
The palace chief made a grimace and led his wife to send her back to Bai Ko's carriage, Bai Ko didn't pay attention to Gu Yun, only Gu Yun's guards were busy and helped him up and sent him back to the car, this time he remembered to open the ventilation window.
After the accident that made people's hearts almost stop, everyone calmed down, cleaned up the venue in an orderly manner, and hurried back to the capital.
In the second half of the way, Gu Yun smirked all the way, and Gong Changji rolled his eyes and asked him not to do this.
"Don't laugh like that, okay? I thought there was an extra fool in the car, so let's rest and think about something. ā
"Bai Ko saved me!"
"You don't need to say it, everyone has seen it."
"I can't repay the gift of saving my life, and I feel that I should show my gratitude by making a promise."
The palace chief was so shocked that he almost slipped from his seat to the floor of the carriage.
"You say it again?!"
"Say what? Pledge in person? ā
"I suddenly think you should have deliberately tried to die."
"No, if you don't come back in time, then I'm not dead? How could I possibly do such a stupid thing?! Gu Yun raised his chin and was proud.
The palace chief rolled his eyes, resisted the urge to beat him up, called the parkman, and got out of the car directly to his own carriage, preferring to endure the bumps on the road, but really couldn't stand Gu Yun's stupid appearance.
I've never seen such a stupid boy.
