Chapter 537: Gambling

"Aqing, aren't you afraid of luring wolves into the room?"

Gu Heng leaned on the table, and the whole person looked extremely lazy.

Although he had confidence in his granddaughter, Gu Heng still couldn't hold back and asked.

"Wolves? Hello wolf, in this world, the beast who knows how to unite and cooperate the most is the wolf! ”

Gu Qingcheng smiled indifferently.

Set the fox to keep the geese?

Worried that the families will divide Lingnan and grab land with the Gu family?

None at all!

Because Gu Tingcheng has the biggest hole card, "Ah Weng, I have medicine!" ”

She also has the best friend of the original tribal leader like Li Mingzhu.

and the Huang family, the Chen family and other local wealthy families as allies.

Lingnan has not been fully developed and is still in a semi-wild state.

Miasma only has a corresponding cure, not completely disappears.

There are also those snakes, insects, rats, ants, malaria and other epidemics, foreign families, rashly entering, let alone getting rich, not to mention lucky, not to be wiped out are lucky.

And these hole cards are all in Gu Tingcheng's hands.

When those families come, they will only obediently cooperate with Gu Qingcheng and become her help!

Moreover, Gu Qingcheng's goal has never been a small Lingnan, but a huge world!

If she wants to accomplish a great cause, she needs too many helpers!

Of course, these helpers do not include Chen.

Uh, well, not necessarily—

"Chen Duan is Chen Jing's cousin, and he is also a fierce general who leads the troops!"

"He once made great contributions to Chen Jing's rebellion."

"This person has a perverse personality and is unruly, and even Chen Jing sometimes has to back down a little."

"Although he was named King of Liang and Prince Yipin by Chen Jing, there are still contradictions between this person and Chen Jing."

Gu Tingcheng is far away from Jiankang, but he still understands the court.

In addition to some memories of her previous life, there is also the credit of the secret agent she sent to Jiankang.

Is it true that her caravans went to Jiankang just to sell sugar and salt?

Since ancient times, caravans have been part-time spies.

The information they can obtain is often the most confidential and fresh.

While Gu Tingcheng was developing the industry, he also laid an intelligence channel by the way.

Not only Jiankang, but also her "caravan" over there!

Gu Heng was not surprised by his granddaughter's "well-informed".

Just kidding, if an ambitious person can't even get information, he will only be left with "ambition".

What else is there to do?

The granddaughter relied on the Gu family, but she would not rely on it completely, but had her own power, Gu Heng not only did not get angry and blamed, but felt relieved.

"Well, Chen Jing himself started by mutiny, so naturally he has to guard against the fierce generals below!"

"Chen Duan is the number one general under Chen Jing, not only has military power, but also has the same surname as 'Chen'."

Therefore, if Chen Duan rebels, he will not be regarded as a chaotic minister and thief, at most it will be an internal struggle between the Chen royal family.

He doesn't need to change the dynasty to get this half of the world from his cousin or future nephew!

Chen Jing himself is not upright, and he must be afraid of his former henchmen.

"Chen Duan was kicked out of the capital by Chen Jing?"

Gu Qingcheng guessed a sentence, but soon, without waiting for Gu Heng to say anything, she shook her head, "Not necessarily!" It is also possible that Chen Duan will plan and push the boat smoothly! ”

In the capital, Chen Jing was wary of Chen Duan in every way.

Chen Jing was not the former Emperor of the Xiao Dynasty, he was a rebel from a warlord.

The 100,000 elite soldiers he held in his hands were not ornaments.

Chen Duan, in the end, is Chen Jing's subordinate, although there are also soldiers, but there are only 30,000!

30,000 want to subvert 100,000, and people still occupy the "great righteousness", and Chen Duan has no chance of winning.

But what if you leave the capital and come to Lingnan, where the emperor is far away?

Recruiting troops and contacting other families, a few years later, Chen Duan may not be able to become the next Chen Jing!

Gu Tingcheng: ...... Hehe, you are treating me Gu Qing as a dead person!

Do you really think Lingnan is a paradise for careerists?

Is it a borderless land where the Chen family can do whatever they want?

"Well, you just have to know it!"

Gu Heng had already let go, and all the affairs of Lingnan were decided by his granddaughter.

He's just waiting to see his granddaughter Feng Wu for nine days!

……

The major families are gearing up, and Chen Duan, the king of Liang, is also pointing at Lingnan.

Gu Qingcheng was not like a great enemy, she still followed her own plan, step by step.

"This is the model of the treasure ship?"

Huang Yannian came to Gu's Wubao in Yuezhou again and met Gu Sanniang, who had been in the limelight recently.

However, when they met again, Huang Yannian didn't care about greetings, and was attracted by a two-foot-long and one-foot-tall model.

Although he likes to pretend to be forced and disguise his family, he is not really stupid.

On the contrary, as the eldest son of the Huang family, he received a good education since he was a child, read poetry and books, and was proficient in the six arts.

When he grew up, in addition to continuing his education, he also began to get involved in his own industry.

Huang Yannian has an understanding of Huang's most fundamental shipping and related industries.

Therefore, in terms of ships, charts, etc., Huang Yannian is barely a "professional".

Insiders watch the doorway!

At a glance, Huang Yannian discovered the beauty of this sailboat model.

First of all, it is large in size.

"Nine masts and twelve sails! There are four floors above and below! ”

Models, basically, are restored to scale.

Therefore, the real treasure ship should also be the size of the same scale enlargement.

Nine masts and twelve sails, four layers up and down, just thinking about it, Huang Yannian's mind appeared like a sea giant.

Huang Yannian stretched out his right hand and gestured with his thumb and index finger, intending to guess the actual size of the treasure ship through the size of the model.

"It's about forty-four zhang long and eighteen zhang wide!"

"Hiss~~~"

Huang Yannian kept gasping for air, "Impossible! You can't build such a big ship! ”

The ship in his dockyard is also a large ship, but it is a bit of a triviality compared to the treasure ship represented by this model.

"How could it not be? If I can make a model, I can build a treasure ship of the same scale! ”

Gu Tingcheng's tone was not polite, but he still had some appreciation for Huang Yannian in his heart.

This person, although he is a pretending monster who likes to follow the example of Dong Shi, but he also has some real talents.

If nothing else, only that he can guess the actual size of the treasure ship based on the model, it shows that his ability is not low!

This is the truest human nature, with shortcomings but also advantages.

It's not just a waste, and it's not really omnipotent.

Therefore, Li Mingzhu is still willing to insist on marrying the Huang family, and he should also see Huang Yannian's strengths.

"Nope! I still don't believe it! ”

Huang Yannian speculated on the size of the treasure ship, and felt more and more incredulous.

That's impossible!

With the current shipbuilding technology, it can't be done at all!

"Then let's make a bet."

What Gu Qingcheng was waiting for was Huang Yannian's "I don't believe it".

If he believes, how will he continue to sing in the next play?
