Chapter 401 The last wishes of the father and daughter in the control group 16 (end)

If Gu Qingsong were to settle down in the capital city in the future, he would inevitably meet Zheng.

Changan thought about it and felt uncomfortable. Gu Qingsong was a stupid landlord trained by them. If he recognized Zheng, wouldn't Zheng just sit back and reap the benefits with her second marriage family?

No, I understand her choice, but Chang'an will never allow her to reap the fruits without paying anything.

Gu Laoliu pinched the little fat on her face and said, "Don't think too much. Do you think Gu Qingsong is really stupid? That woman can't take advantage of him at all."

Although Gu Qingsong didn't say it, Gu Laoliu knew that he hated Zheng in his heart. Although he seemed carefree at ordinary times, he was actually a very emotional person. Under his fiery appearance, he had an extremely cold and hard heart.

The few affections he had were spent on his father and sister, and no one else could take any of them.

How could a person who could become a minor villain in the previous plot line be the kind of person who could be moved into a fool by a few tears and a few cheap sweet words?

Gu Laoliu was not worried at all that Gu Qingsong would forgive Zheng. He might even make it impossible for the Zheng family to gain a foothold in the capital.

As for the Zheng family, Grandma Zheng did feel guilty about her two children at first, but when she learned that she could live a good life in the mansion, she had forgotten all the guilt.

She was even glad that she helped her daughter escape from the Gu family, otherwise the Zheng family would not have had a good life. He didn't want to discuss right or wrong, as this matter could not be simply measured by right or wrong.

Chang'an didn't worry about Zheng's matter anymore. Since her father said that Gu Qingsong was not stupid, she believed him.

They lived in the farm and seldom went out. They usually went fishing and farming at home, and would buy some suitable land when they saw one.

During their four years in the provincial capital, apart from that time when they passed each other, they never met Zheng again.

"Dad, Gu Qingsong and Dayi should be back soon, right?" Chang'an and Gu Laoliu were picking lotus flowers in the lotus pond, having nothing to do and looking for something to do.

Gu Laoliu replied lazily: "Well, if I can't get there today, I can get there tomorrow."

It has to be said that Gu Qingsong was born to be on the battlefield and he made many military achievements, but he refused all opportunities for promotion. The general was very puzzled and after talking to him several times, he gave up persuading him.

Gu Qingsong said bluntly, "I have no interest in serving the monarch of Langhua Kingdom. He is not worth it."

He stayed in the army for two and a half years, then faked his death and left. The general knew it very well, but since all his military achievements were attributed to him, he turned a blind eye and pretended that Gu Qingsong was really dead.

After Gu Qingsong left the team, he did not return home in time. Gao Yi took him to do other things, to make money and build his own power.

In the evening, as the sun was setting, a dusty young man, carrying a package on his back, was running along the main road of Zhuangzi, with his back to the setting sun, towards Chang'an.

"Sister, sister, brother is back."

After four years away, he is still a Husky when he comes back.

Gu Qingsong picked up Chang'an and turned him around twice, then took the package and put it on the ground, eager to show Chang'an the gift he brought back.

"Sister, I've brought you beautiful hairpins, jade bracelets, and beautiful dresses."

"Hmmmm," Gu Laoliu was standing next to Chang'an and was completely ignored by Haodaer.

When Gu Qingsong heard the voice, he reluctantly greeted Gu Laoliu, "Dad, I'm back."

Then he enthusiastically introduced the gift to Chang'an, and his attitude towards his cheap father seemed particularly perfunctory.

After a night's rest, Da Yi took him to get to know his own territory. Gu Qingsong was so happy that he couldn't express it in words.

"Do we really have so many fields? Are those tenants helping us farm the land?"

Although he now controls a considerable force and owns some profitable industries, becoming a big landowner was his original dream. He was still very excited to see so many fields.

After four years of accumulation, Gu Laoliu and Chang'an bought nearly 500 acres of land.

Will there be further expansion in the future? That is up to Gu Qingsong himself.

Dayi smiled and nodded, "Yes, if you like farmland, you can buy more in the future."

Gu Qingsong smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. "Of course I like it. I want to make all the land in Linzhou Prefecture mine."

"Then you might be liquidated."

"Mr. Gao Yi said that as long as I am strong enough, even the imperial court will have to respect me. Anyway, the imperial court is so rotten now, so it's okay for me to occupy the land and be the king, right?"

"You have ambition. In that case, we will set off tomorrow."

Gu Qingsong was a little confused. Why was he leaving again after just coming back?

"Where to go?"

"Go expand your power. Otherwise, how can you occupy the land and become the king? It's not enough to just have power. You also have to develop the economy. Otherwise, how are you going to support your people?"

Gu Qingsong: ...

Why does he feel like he's being forced to make progress?

On the third day after Gu Qingsong and Dayi returned, they went out again, and this time Dayi also left with them.

Chang'an and Gu Laoliu, two lazy guys, stayed at home without moving. They didn't socialize, so naturally no one would disturb them.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the seasons change, and another three years have passed. Linzhou Prefecture has undergone earth-shaking changes.

First, the county magistrates of all the counties under the jurisdiction of the provincial capital were replaced, and those wealthy businessmen who were unkind were taught a lesson by unknown forces.

The generals of the defending army died quietly in the moat. The imperial court sent troops to fight against the rebels, but none of them returned.

The tax in Linzhou Prefecture was reduced from 60% to 30%, and the grain prices in all grain shops were unified. Anyone who dared to raise the prices would be killed.

The prefect was removed and replaced by the City Lord's Mansion, and the new City Lord was Gu Qingsong, who became the one who had the final say in Linzhou Prefecture.

On the first day of his appointment, Gu Qingsong confronted the imperial court head-on. He sent an urgent letter with only one sentence, which was sent to the capital over an 800-mile journey. The letter read, "Come and fight me if you dare."

Chang'an and Gu Laoliu: He looks so despicable, will he really not be beaten to death after they leave?

Seeing that Gu Qingsong, a commoner, could enclose land and become a king, many noble families began to follow suit. Anti-kings in Langhua Kingdom sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, some succeeded and some failed.

Of course, there are more failures than successes. Gu Qingsong was able to succeed so quickly because he had two cheating kings, one in his freshman year and the other in his senior year.

Those who followed suit relied on the power of their own families to compete with the imperial court. Although the aristocratic families had power, they had no army. No matter how corrupt the imperial court was, there were still loyal people supporting it.

Many people were suppressed by the imperial army as soon as they rebelled. When Gu Qingsong found out, he said in a mean way: "There is only one Gu Qingsong in the world. I, the city lord, am unique and no one can surpass me."

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

A cloth shoe hit him on the head.

"Dad, please give me some face. I am a city lord now. How embarrassing it would be if my subordinates saw me like this?"

Gu Qingsong helplessly picked up the pair of cloth shoes with a hole in it and returned them to Gu Laoliu. His father really couldn't take a joke.

Of course he knew that he was able to become the city lord so quickly thanks to the two gentlemen. If it weren't for their help, it would take him at least ten or eight years to become a big landowner.

Gu Qingsong stopped laughing, knelt down solemnly and kowtowed three times to Dayi and Gaoyi, "Thank you both for your teachings, gentlemen. I will definitely not let you down."

Freshmen in college and high school received his greeting and said, "It's better to do less immoral things," and don't learn from your cheap dad.

The two of them assisted Gu Qingsong for another two years, until Linzhou Prefecture was completely stabilized. Even if the new emperor ascended the throne, he would not be able to do anything about Linzhou Prefecture.

At least when Gu Qingsong was alive, the imperial court could not take back Linzhou Prefecture.

What would happen to Gu Qingsong's descendants was none of their business. After making sure that Gu Qingsong would live to the end of his life, Gu Laoliu took Chang'an and Dayi and Gaoyi back to the ferry.

The Xu family became Gu Qingsong's control group. The second son of the Xu family failed to pass the imperial examination and only remained a student. The family stayed in Liuquan Village and farmed.

Liu Qingsong took the head of the village and his family to the provincial capital and arranged jobs for them. The Zhao family was doing well.
