Oh my god, can you play like this?

After listening to the news from Mo Yi, Gu Lanzhi said nothing, but just smiled faintly.

"How many days will it take for Mo Er and the others to return to Beijing?"

"You'll be back in five days at most."

Gu Lanzhi nodded and thought silently for a while, then suddenly laughed. Mo Yi looked at the general strangely, wondering what funny thing the general was thinking of.

"Mo Yi, how many brothels and small official houses are there in Kyoto?"

"Uh..." Mo Yi really didn't expect that his master's thinking was so divergent. Why would he think of asking this question?

But Mo Yi still said truthfully: "There are six larger brothels, four government offices, and smaller ones..."

"No need to say anything about the younger one." Gu Lanzhi smiled and waved his hand.

"We have returned to Beijing, and there won't be any major wars in the next few years, so I don't need to lead troops out of Beijing.

So our current task is to gain a firm foothold in the court, but our power is at the border, the available personnel in the capital are limited and the information is very isolated, which is a big problem.

Knowing some information in advance can help you prepare in advance. I don’t want to be blind and not know what happened until the moment comes.”

Mo Yi said carefully: "Master, do you want to open a brothel or a government office in the capital? To pass on messages?"

There was no specific regulation in this dynasty that prohibited officials from visiting prostitutes, so officials at all levels could often be seen in brothels. Many officials would discuss key matters in such places, with both men and women accompanying them, and there was no need to be shy about anything.

After all, even if people in that kind of place knew some important news, it wouldn't matter. Their status and position are there. Even if they knew, no one would listen to them, and no one would care about them.

So this kind of place is the easiest to collect information.

Gu Lanzhi rocked leisurely in the rocking chair and said nonchalantly: "But I don't want to open a store in the capital."

"Why?" Mo Yi asked in confusion.

"The city is too small. The biggest brothel you mentioned is just a few normal shops merged together. What's so fun about it?"

Mo Yi said embarrassedly: "Master, places like brothels seem to be full of people playing with people, right?"

After hearing what Mo Yi said, Gu Lanzhi was speechless, looking at Mo Yi with a black line on his head, but Gu Lanzhi had to admit that what Mo Yi said... seemed to be correct, alas...

"I remember that among my mother's belongings, there were two connected manors, located on the outskirts of the city?"

"Yes, less than five miles outside the west city gate, the two farms together cover about a hundred acres of land.

But the land on those two farms is not very good, and there are low hills, so they are not good farms. "

Gu Lanzhi nodded with satisfaction, "What I want is a farm with bad land that cannot be used for farming.

I will draw a blueprint for you in the next two days, and you can find someone to build the villa according to my blueprint.

The villa I want to open is more than just a simple hotel."

"Okay, Master."

"Send a message to have Madam Mei and her people sent to Kyoto."

"Master, do you want Madam Mei to help you look after the villa?"

Gu Lanzhi nodded.

Madam Mei was the woman Gu Lanzhi rescued from the enemy camp when he first arrived at the border to fight.

When Madam Mei was rescued, she was almost dying from the harm she had done, so Gu Lanzhi took her back to the border town for medical treatment.

Later, Madam Mei followed Gu Lanzhi as a maid, recognized Gu Lanzhi as her master, and was loyal to him.

After that, Gu Lanzhi rescued more than 20 men and women one after another, all of whom were badly harmed. Gu Lanzhi asked Madam Mei to take care of them, and after they recovered, Madam Mei would manage them.

Madam Mei was a woman with a rather rough life. She got married at the age of fifteen and became a widow at the age of sixteen.

Her family then sold Mei to an old widower, but the old widower was an alcoholic and would beat Mei when he was drunk.

On the way home after drinking one day, the old widower fell into the river and died, and Mrs. Mei became a widow again.

Later, Mei Niangzi's family sold her to a hunter. Not long after they got married, the hunter went into the mountains to hunt and encountered a big beast, which bit him to death.

Three of Mei's husbands died in six years, and her reputation as a husband-killer spread. With the reputation of being a husband-killer, Mei's family no longer had the intention of selling her.

After only two days of peace, bandits came to Mei Niangzi's village again and abducted Mei Niangzi to the mountains.

Madam Mei had just escaped from the bandit's lair with all her might, but she was met by the enemy again and was abducted and made a military prostitute. When she was on the verge of life and death, she was rescued by Gu Lanzhi.

Perhaps because she had experienced a lot, Madam Mei's character had changed a lot and she became a very capable subordinate of Gu Lanzhi.

Although Madam Mei does not know martial arts and cannot go to the battlefield, in the military camp, Madam Mei takes care of everything for Gu Lanzhi, including the people Gu Lanzhi rescued, who are all managed very well by Madam Mei.

When Gu Lanzhi first rescued them, he really didn't think too much about it. He just saved them because he felt sorry for them. Now he can bring them directly to Kyoto to help him.

Gu Lanzhi rocked the rocking chair for a while, then asked Mo Yi, "Is there any vacant shop in our mansion in the capital?"

Mo Yi thought for a moment and said, “There are no empty shops, but you know, my master, that no one in my family is good at business. Whether it is the shop in the general’s mansion or the shop left by the second wife, the business is not very good.

Moreover, you, the master, used all the money earned from these shops to subsidize the army, both to buy food and to provide pensions."

Gu Lanzhi knew what Mo Yi said in his original body's memory, and he also strongly agreed with his original body's actions.
