Traveling through ancient times

Gu Dalian didn't stay for long, she always felt a sense of urgency! The pace of development needs to be faster!

These two days, when it was late at night, she would always think of Luo Feimo. She always felt that Luo Feimo had gone to the battlefield. In this era, wars seemed to be very frequent!

"Luo Feimo, I don't know what you are doing now?"

Far away at the border of Western Xinjiang, Luo Feimo, who had just won a victory, sneezed several times in succession. Bai Shihua, the deputy general beside him, was a little anxious:

"General, are you catching a cold?"

Luo Feimo: ...How could I catch a cold with my current physical condition!

Could it be that the heartless guy was talking about me?

Little conscienceless Gu Dalian:

"Luo Feimo is such a bastard that he didn't even write a letter to let us know he's safe!"

More than ten days passed in a busy manner. Because there were so many people, the wall of the forest had been completed!

It was almost mid-October now. The house had been built and the wall around the six-acre land had been completed. Gu Dalian discovered another problem:

The weather is getting colder, and the women workers can't keep working in the yard all the time.

Another row of factory buildings needed to be built in front, so Master Liao divided the people into two groups, with one group continuing to build the second courtyard.

In one go, they tore down the low thatched house in front and built a spacious factory building!

When Luo Feimo left, he had already bought the yard next door and left the key to Gu Wenzhi. He also specifically instructed that if necessary, the brothers and sisters could stay at his place temporarily!

So, the brothers and sisters moved into the side room of Luo Feimo's house!

During this period, Gu Dalian harvested tens of thousands of kilograms of apples and pears in the nearby villages. The women workers' work changed from making canned peaches to canned pears, apples, and hawthorns!

Gu Dalian thought that it would be a good opportunity to stock up on more goods now, as during the New Year holidays, it would be necessary to give these as gifts to those dignitaries!

We have already delivered 20,000 kilograms of canned peaches. Because the quantity is relatively large, each time we deliver the goods, we immediately settle the payment for the previous goods.

I heard from Shopkeeper Zhao that 5,000 kilograms of goods were shipped to the capital. Because the goods had been pre-ordered in various governments, they were sold out as soon as they arrived. It was hard to get even a can!

(What Shopkeeper Zhao meant by preheating was to send two cans to each mansion, in the name of giving away new products, but in reality it was a disguised form of advertising and tasting!)

Gu Dalian couldn't help but be amazed. There are still so many rich families!

That night, Gu Dalian took out the night pearl, took out all the payment for the goods one by one, and began to count them in front of the brother and sister!

The payment for 1000 kilograms of canned peaches has been settled, as well as kilograms of canned apples and kilograms of canned pears. These two items are just for testing!

Most of the purchases were made in the provincial capital during these two times, and the prices were relatively low.

Two pounds of canned peaches cost five taels of silver, and five pounds of canned peaches cost twelve taels of silver!

Because apples can be stored and are not too expensive, the price is relatively low, two catties for four taels of silver, five catties for ten taels of silver. The price of canned pears and canned peaches is the same!

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and fish with various seasonings took another 8800 taels of silver! Canned food took a total of taels of silver. After counting the silver bills, the silver coins seemed to be unbearable!

The brothers and sisters stared at each other in shock. Gu Xiaolian exclaimed:

"Sister, your hand is like a golden finger. Come on, let me touch it a few times. I want to have a golden finger too!"

Gu Wenzhi felt a pang in his heart at this moment. Although he was busy all day long, it seemed that he had not made any contribution to this family!

My elder sister is the one who takes care of everything, it’s a bit depressing!

Little Gu Lun just smiled, his task was to be a good student. According to his elder sister, it means: make a little progress every day, grow step by step every day!

Gu Dalian was sensitive to her second brother's mood. She waited until her younger brother and sister fell asleep before sitting in front of him:

"Second brother, you have worked hard during this period! When eldest brother is away, you are the pillar of our family!"

"If you hadn't been able to take charge outside, our family wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in the village so quickly!"

Gu Wenzhi looked guilty:

"If you need to travel long distances in the future, let your second brother go. You have lost a lot of weight during this period! Your second brother has done too little!"

"Second brother, everyone has their own strengths. You are suitable for intimidating in important occasions, while sister is good at being versatile and starting a business!"

"Brother, we complement each other, so our family's business can develop rapidly! I'm thinking of marching to the capital city next year!"

Gu Wenzhi looked at his sister in surprise. His elder sister was quite ambitious!

"Second brother supports you, I will hit you wherever you point!"

After saying this, Gu Wenzhi laughed first, and the depression in his heart was swept away!

"Okay, second brother, let's go to the county town in a couple of days. We have money now, and second brother should hurry up and go to school!"

"As our business grows, my second brother should realize his dream and become an official in the future so that he can protect my sister!"

Gu Wenzhi originally wanted to wait until everything was stable before considering it, but after hearing what his sister said, he changed his mind!

Since my younger sister wants to make more money, even if she has a mountain of gold, she won’t be able to keep it without a strong backer. So, I will work hard to become her strong backing!

Thinking of this, Gu Wenzhi nodded: "Okay!"

Both brother and sister are people who do what they say!

At dawn the next day, they led out the "ghost", hitched up the carriage, took some things, and went to the town first to send Gu Xiaolian and Gu Lun to the clinic. Then the brother and sister went straight to the county town!

This time, Gu Dalian specially brought various canned foods and cooked corn cobs produced in the space. Yes, the corn in the space has already formed ears and can be cooked and eaten!

He then fished out four or five fish of different kinds from the space, and then went directly to pay his respects to the county magistrate!

There was no need to report this time. When the bailiff saw that it was the brother and sister, he must have received orders to take them in directly as soon as they arrived!

The two men met Wu Shi and exchanged greetings. Wu Shi offered them a seat and then asked:

"What do you two need my help with?"

Gu Wenzhi was influenced by his sister and no longer needed her to speak for him. He bowed slightly and said:

"Sir, my little sister and I came to the county town to ask you to help us get into the county school!"

Wu Shi raised his eyebrows: "Oh, I wonder what your foundation is like now?"

Gu Wenzhi was still a little nervous about this:

"I have only learned the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, Thousand Character Classic, Analects, Mencius, Great Learning, Doctrine of the Mean, Book of Songs, Chu Ci, Spring and Autumn Annals, Zuo Zhuan. You may briefly examine one or two of them!"

Wu Shi couldn't help but look at him seriously. He knew about Xiao Gu's family background, but he didn't expect that this kid had read so many books. It was obvious that he was a good seedling, so he wanted to test him a bit!

"You have studied the Doctrine of the Mean. So, what is the core idea of ​​the Doctrine of the Mean?"

"The Doctrine of the Mean is not a man-made norm, but a destiny or nature. The Doctrine of the Mean considers the Doctrine of the Mean to be a manifestation of destiny...

The golden mean is a way to success that lasts forever…”

Gu Wenzhi spoke eloquently and gave an accurate analysis of the ideas of The Doctrine of the Mean, which made Wu Shi quite interested!

"What does it mean to advocate harmony both inside and outside as loyalty, to lead with trust as commonality, and to support the three virtues as goodness?"

"To put it simply, harmony between the inside and outside is loyalty, doing things according to integrity is for the common good, and supporting the three virtues is good!"

Gu Wenzhi pursed his lips. He didn't know if he could pass the test. After all, it was his mother who taught him. In addition, his sister had collected many books for him during this period, and there were some valuable interpretations!

If it weren’t for the jade liquid and ambergris crystal that my sister gave me to drink to improve my physique, I probably wouldn’t have been able to finish learning all this even in another two years!

This is also the confidence that Gu Dalian brought his second brother to see the county magistrate. Talent is a treasure no matter in which era!
