Film and TV starts with acquiring a memory palace

Chapter 690 Crossing East to Fusang

The official waved his hand weakly and let him leave.

Gu Tingyu knew that his work was over, so he bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

The official looked at Gu Tingyu who turned and left, and smiled softly.

"My dear husbands, if Gu Tingyu really solves the problem of money shortage and makes great contributions, then we will need you to protect him. Please."

"Your Majesty, we obey your command."

"Mr. Han, I'll leave the world to you from now on."

"Your Majesty, why do you say that? You are really overthinking."

Han Xianggong and others immediately knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation.

Although there was no change in the official's appearance, he was actually very miserable in his heart. He had been working diligently since he ascended the throne, and he didn't know why God didn't let his son grow up.

Otherwise, this wouldn't be happening now.

After Gu Tingyu returned from the palace, he went straight to the study room opened by Gu Yan.

"Father, it's settled."

"Well, what was the result?"

Ever since Gu Tingyu was called to the palace, Gu Yankai has been sitting in the study waiting for Gu Tingyu to come back.

Gu Tingye also came early and looked at Gu Tingyu with some anticipation.

"It's confirmed. The government asked me to go to Fusang to solve the problem of money shortage."

"Ah, this... Brother, Fusang is a wild land. Isn't this exile? Brother, father, this..."

"Well, this is already the care of the government."

"Yes, second brother, Prince Yong is now the most likely successor, and there is nothing the court can do."

Gu Tingyu held Gu Tingye down and explained it to him in detail.

When Gu Tingye heard this, he sat down helplessly.

"Ah, I'm sorry for making you suffer this time."

"Father, it's okay. Besides, I think Prince Yong is not a blessed man. He may not be able to handle such great wealth."

"I hope so."

For a moment, the three people in the study didn't know what to say, but Gu Tingyu was not worried at all. After all, he knew what would happen next.

After all, Gu Yankai had more experience, and after realizing that things were irreversible, he began to help with preparations.

"Ting Yu, when the time comes, just take half of the people in the mansion with you. These people all followed me out of the battlefield. Take care of yourselves when the time comes."

"Okay, father, don't worry, I'm fine now, you don't have to worry about me."

"Brother, why don't I go with you? I can also protect you."

"No, you just stay at home. Father is old and needs you to take care of the family."

Gu Tingye stood up and said that he would follow, but was quickly stopped by Gu Tingyu.

He didn't dare let Gu Tingye leave with him. After all, he had saved someone's life when the new emperor ascended the throne. If he followed him, what if the new emperor died.

"Okay, that's it. You should stay at home and accompany Xueyan during this period. I don't know how long you will be gone. Wait for the decree to come down."

"Yes, father, I'll go back first."

Gu Tingyu thought so too, so after leaving the study, he quickly returned to his own courtyard.

When Shao Xueyan saw Gu Tingyu coming back, she finally showed a happy smile on her face.

"Sir, what does the government say?"

"It's okay. I'm going on a long trip to Japan in a while. I don't know when I'll be back. I'll leave the family to you."

"My husband, this..."

"It's okay, don't worry, trust me."

When Shao Xueyan heard that they were going to Fuso, her face changed immediately, but she could do nothing and could only look at Gu Tingyu with a pale face.

 …

Three days later, the imperial decree came down, and Gu Tingyu was appointed as the sixth rank of Zhaowu Cavalry Captain. His official rank remained the same as before, but this time he was a military officer and could command troops.

The government also transferred a 300-man troop from Beidaying. These troops were from the northern border and had some skills. Those without skills had already died on the battlefield.

In addition to the soldiers, there were about fifty craftsmen who were responsible for building the camp and the smelter.

The departure time was set for half a month later. These soldiers and craftsmen would need time to arrive, so Gu Tingyu didn't have anything to do.

Gu Tingyu also needs to pick some of the guards that Gu Yankai mentioned before.

Looking at the guards who had all gathered, Gu Tingyu walked out.

"I won't say much about the dangers of this trip to Fuso. Who is willing to accompany me?"

"Master, Tieniu must follow you."

"I swear to protect the young master until my death."

As Li Tieniu stood up, all the guards took a step forward.

"Okay, since you all want me to go with you without fear of danger, I will not let you down. Tie Niu, you choose half of the guards to follow."

"I will also make you a promise here. From now on, we are all brothers and sisters. Whenever there is a war, I will fight in the front and will never abandon any of my brothers. If I die in battle, the Marquis' Mansion will definitely take care of the aftermath. My parents, wife and children will be supported by the Marquis' Mansion for life."

"In addition, those who follow me this time should go directly to the accounting office to collect fifty taels of resettlement allowance. Remember, this money is for your family. If I find out who has used it to gamble, I will never forgive them."

"Yes, Master."

The guards left happily. After all, it was fifty taels. Even if they couldn't come back this time, they could live a good life at home.

Knowing that Gu Tingyu would leave in half a month, Shao Xueyan started to get busy.

I kept helping him organize things he might need, various medicines, clothes, and daily necessities, basically everything.

Gu Tingyu did not get involved, knowing that this would make Shao Xueyan feel more relaxed. Otherwise, she would always be thinking about this matter.

Time passed as Gu Tingyu spent time with his children.

The day of departure soon arrived. With the farewell of everyone in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, Gu Tingyu and his entourage boarded a boat to Mingzhou.

This is also a seaport for the Song Dynasty to trade with Fuso. This time, Gu Tingyu also needs to cross the sea directly to Fuso from here.

The maritime trade of the Song Dynasty was very developed, so the technology of sea vessels was also very advanced, so there was no need to worry about the risks of sea navigation. However, after all, the soldiers he brought with him were from the northern border, and many of them had become seasick on the way to Mingzhou.

If we go out to sea directly, the whole army might be wiped out, and we might even die in Fuso.

Therefore, Gu Tingyu did not rush to set off and started training directly in Mingzhou.

Every day, Gu Tingyu asked the soldiers to board a large ship and cruise around the coast to help them adapt to life on the ship as quickly as possible.

At the beginning, everyone was dizzy and vomited a lot after getting off the boat.

However, I got used to it and things gradually got better.

After everyone learned how to swim, Gu Tingyu prepared the supplies and was ready to set off.

A month later, a large ship carried Gu Tingyu and his party to Fuso, accompanied by several merchant ships. These were sea merchants who knew that Gu Tingyu was going to Fuso and planned to make some money there.
