"I see……"

"No wonder it's so..."

"It's really far-reaching..."

Later generations would deny the Sanlian, but it was unexpected that there were also awakened Sanlians in ancient times. Especially the ladies who were present to watch the ceremony. Each of them was at the level of a head wife in the family. They had a big family and a big business. They were in charge of the family's wealth. Even if they were of mediocre background, they had experienced

Years of experience are enough to become a smart person.

So no fool can figure something out.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave the Gu family tiger cubs ten states.

Gu Tianya took out the sweet potatoes and auctioned them to everyone.

When the sweet potatoes were auctioned, they were so selfless and did not want anyone's money, but only a promise to develop the population... As a result, only four families participated in the bidding, and it was already too late for the rest of the families to regret it.

When the seven magical medicines that could cure childhood diseases were taken out, almost all the families regretted it and were heartbroken. Unfortunately, they were not qualified because they were too late.

However, it is not absolutely ineligible.

The ladies still remember that night, when Gu Tianya and Li Shimin jointly announced something: "If you want to be qualified to purchase the magic medicine, you must exchange for it with meritorious deeds..."

Where does merit come from?

Why should we force each family to establish meritorious deeds?

Now, the ladies finally realized...

Since ancient times, using advantage to drive people away is far better than using power to suppress people. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave his nephew ten states, but currently only Yunzhou and Tanzhou belong to his own territory. As for the remaining eight states, they are completely

It's like a reward like a painted cake.

If the Gu family wants to get these eight states, they have to find a way to expand the territory themselves. Expanding the territory is not something that can be achieved casually. It must at least satisfy a strong army and generals who can gather together to pick and choose, and it must also be united, and the mountain of corpses can be conquered.

Countless kills in the sea of ​​blood.

The Gu family is a small family, and the Detachment of Women is ready to return it to the royal family, so it is difficult to expand the territory, and even if it succeeds, it will suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, Gu Tianya chose to use advantage to drive people away!

How did he drive it?

Purchasing magic medicine through meritorious deeds is a means.

…

"I understand, I finally understand now! No wonder my man left in a hurry last night, with a solemn look on his face when he left. There was an evil aura about him at that time, just like the way he used to look before every time he went to the battlefield.

I was still confused at first and couldn't figure out what the secret was, but now I finally understand that my man is going to fight for his life..."

"Oh, it's the same with my family! When I went out last night, he glanced at me from a distance and didn't say much. He only gave me a few words. One of them was: 'When the tiger baby is baptized tomorrow, don't forget to give it to us.

The gift has been prepared at home.’ The other sentence was to comfort me: ‘Daughter-in-law, don’t worry, let’s go to the battlefield to fight for some meritorious deeds.’ After saying these two words, I left without looking back.”

"It's okay for your two families. Your husband is only a county prince and has not yet reached the highest level of title. There is a reason to fight even if you fight hard. But the man in my family is already a prince. He can enjoy wealth even if he never goes to the battlefield again in this life. But he

I also hurried out last night, and the fierceness of fighting for nothing appeared on my face again. I was puzzled at the time, but now I understand. It turns out that my man also wants to fight for meritorious deeds, and then use his meritorious deeds to exchange for Gu's magic medicine.

qualifications."

"It's not just a magic medicine, otherwise why would all the men choose to fight for it? It is rumored that Gu Tianya's ancestors are from the Mo family, and his family has inherited countless secret recipes. For example, the secret recipe for iron smelting that Li Shimin came up with before was directly used by Li Shimin

The wealth of His Highness's Tiance Mansion has skyrocketed, and the secret recipe for tea he once produced directly caused Qi Wang, the fifth surname, to continue to show his favor to him..."

"Nowadays, those aristocratic families have started planting tea in a big way. It is said that they all made a lot of money by selling tea in small batches for the first time last year. So this year they are expanding their tea fields like crazy, and even the old mulberry fields passed down by their ancestors have been cut down.

Yes, I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of acres in total, and more than two hundred aristocratic families are growing tea."

"I know, I know. That kind of tea is extremely valuable. It was occasionally sold in Chang'an West Market last year, and the price was close to gold. The key is that you can't buy it even if you want to. You have to ask for favors, and you can do it reluctantly.

Buy some. But our family is a faction of Tiance Mansion, and we have almost no contact with that group of aristocratic families. There is no human relationship between the two parties, so we can only ask people to raise the price severely..."

"This secret tea recipe alone made the aristocratic family that has been handed down for thousands of years bow their heads to Gu Tianya. After the aristocratic families bowed their heads to Gu Tianya, they in turn used tea to make us bow our heads. Why are we bowing our heads? To put it bluntly, it is not because of the desire for wealth.

Are you eager? Why can they get rich by relying on Gu Tianya, but we should just watch with envy and jealousy? You must know that the family used to be Gu Tianya's enemies, but in the end they all chose to be shameless for the sake of profit..."

"Not only is it shameless, there is a popular word called 'dog licking' recently. I don't know who first said this word. Anyway, it is now very popular in Chang'an. Dog licking, licking dogs, everything you want, the family is known as Zhongming

A scholarly family, but for the sake of profit, they all turned into licking dogs one by one. If they can lick, we can also... uh... our men can also establish a relationship with the Gu family when they go to the battlefield to fight for meritorious deeds, right...

"

The lady who spoke last was obviously from a mediocre background. She was so angry that she almost confessed the truth. Fortunately, she changed her subject in time and brought the topic back to her merits.

But no matter what, everyone now understands that the meritorious deeds are Gu's conspiracy.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave his nephew ten states, eight of which were painted cakes, but Gu didn't need to worry about failing to make cakes, because he would definitely get these eight states.

It is far better to use advantage to drive people away than to use power to suppress people.

Since ancient times, people have to fight with their lives to expand territory. However, the Gu family does not have to fight at all, because the civil servants and generals of the Tang Dynasty will help Gu family fight for it.

Just for that meritorious service.

…

No one dared to imagine that Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was not in the palace in Chang'an City.

It is said that the emperor cannot leave Beijing easily.

There must be something big happening when leaving Beijing...

However, when Li Yuan left Chang'an this time, he quietly hid it from everyone. Moreover, he still galloped thousands of miles and suddenly appeared in the back mountain of Gujiacun.

It's still the same dense forest, still the same valley.

After passing a long valley passage, a gleaming silver door stood in front of him. Li Yuan's face was obviously eager and vaguely excited.

The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty had a long life, but his eyes were fixed on a woman sitting in front of the silver gate. Suddenly, he burst into tears with joy, and said in a trembling voice: "Cousin Guangping, it's really you,

That kid Jiancheng really didn’t lie to me, it turns out you are really still alive..."

This woman is surprisingly Gu Tianya's mother, Aunt Gu.

Li Yuan's face was full of excitement, and there were tears in his eyes. He was obviously a sixty-year-old man, but at this moment he was as happy as a child.

Aunt Gu was also a little excited. She stood up and saluted him and said warmly: "Cousin Li Yuan, I haven't seen you for many years. My little sister still remembers that I was still young and you were already a minister of the Zhuguo in the Sui Dynasty. Every time you

When I visit relatives in the palace, I always bring some toys for my little sister...Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I didn’t expect you to be so old."

"Yes, my cousin is old!" Li Yuan seemed to sigh with emotion, looking at Aunt Gu with a friendly face. This kindness was very sincere, and could even be said to be hot, but it was not the hot love between a man and a woman, but rather like a father.

The kind of affection between women.

Li Yuan is already sixty years old, while Aunt Gu is only thirty-five years old. Although they are cousins, Li Yuan actually loves his cousin as a daughter.

Aunt Gu was once the youngest princess of the Sui Dynasty.

She is also the youngest sister of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

She was also the most beloved little cousin of all her relatives at that time.

Just because of something that happened later, everyone was stunned. The little cousin they loved the most was actually married to a man who hated them the most.

However, that man was so arrogant that even with the power of Li Yuan and others, they could only stare at him, unable to stop him. It was in vain...

The past is like smoke, as if countless scenes flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sighed and turned to look at the gleaming silver door. After a long time, he said helplessly: "What's inside...is this what's inside?"

Aunt Gu nodded and said softly, "It's him!"

Li Yuan took a deep breath and walked slowly to the silver door. He seemed to be dissatisfied, but finally turned into relief and said: "Gu...Master Gu."

At that time, not only the Imperial Masters of the Great Sui Dynasty, but also a group of Guanlong nobles also sat down with the Imperial Master and listened to their inquiries, ranging from astronomy and geography to hundreds of scholars. That was the worst thing.

For a period of time, these people were all diligent and studious students.

Although they are all older than the Imperial Master, each of them respects the Imperial Master. At that time, their biggest dream was to become the Imperial Master's disciples.

It's a pity that the two sides ended up being strangers to each other in the end.

Just because this imperial master was too radical and hated these families very much, Li Yuan was a branch of the Guanlong Li family at that time, and he would definitely oppose it for his own interests.

Therefore, relatives become enemies.

Twenty years have passed, and Li Yuan has become the emperor. Now he is a sixty-year-old man with gray hair. It seems that he suddenly felt relieved and allowed him to let go of everything.

"Master Gu!"

He called out the same title again, just like when he was studying in the Sui Palace.

Unfortunately, there was silence for a long time in the silver gate, and suddenly a very familiar curse broke out, saying: "What a shame, you old boy is still alive? I heard that you even became the emperor. I said back then that you were not

What a good bird. If my wife had not stopped me, I would have killed you long ago..."

Twenty years have passed, and Father Gu is no longer young. However, whenever he opens his mouth, it is clear that he is still a great master like Lao Zuan. [Note: Lao Zuan is a joke.]

If there was a ranking in the troll world, Dad Gu would definitely be the number one troll in the Tang Dynasty.

If there was a ranking in the world of angry youth, then Mr. Gu would definitely take the top spot...

However, after Li Yuan was scolded, his energy and energy suddenly became lively. Although he had a wry smile on his face, there was clearly joy in his eyes as he said: "Master Gu, I didn't expect that after twenty years, I am still alive.
To be continued...
