Chapter 108: accidental fall

In the last life, Gu Yuqi didn't pay too much attention to her scumbag, so she didn't know much about his temperament.

In this life, when Liang Huaiyu taught her martial arts, Gu Huaizhong would also give pointers on the side. It made Gu Yuqi feel that if he hadn't brought Liu Yue back to anger Liang Huaiyu, he might have been a relatively good father. At least he knows everything about Gu Yuqi in martial arts and military books. As long as Gu Yuqi is willing to ask, he has nothing to hide.

It's just that this person can hide his mother for ten years about taking a concubine in front of the border, which is considered a deep city.

Most of her mothers in the last life died under Liu Yue's hands. Gu Yuqi was not sure whether what Liu Yue did was instructed by Gu Huaizhong. After his mother died, he dealt with Chun Xing, the maids and the guards that his mother had brought over, and within a few years he straightened Liu Yue. Even if he didn't do it himself, at least he was very ruthless towards his mother.

The last time in the capital, Gu Huaizhong was very shameless. Gu Yuqi knew that after that night, the object of discussion in the whole capital would be the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Their mother and daughter had already destroyed Gu Huaizhong's face, but Gu Huaizhong still came to Kuizhou to kneel and beg for forgiveness, which really surprised Gu Yuqi.

Does he really regret it? Impossible, it was only because of His Majesty's mind that he had to come.

Liang Huaiyu's psychology is also very contradictory.

When she left at that time, she was indeed very determined, and she never thought of going back to Dingyuan Hou's mansion.

But now seeing Gu Huaizhong fainted in front of her door, her heart was still very shocked.

Especially in front of so many Kuizhou officials, Liang Huaiyu knew that Gu Huaizhong was a person who took a lot of face.

He can do this for her, and it is impossible to say that he is not moved by it at all.

Gu Huaizhong used this bitter tactic only after realizing that Liang Huaiyu was soft-hearted.

"Mother really wants me to follow him back to Beijing?" Three days later, Gu Yuqi asked calmly in Liang Huaiyu's room.

In fact, when Gu Huaizhong passed out and entered the Liang Mansion, Gu Yuqi had already foreseen such a result. So she wasn't surprised. "What about you?" Gu Yuqi asked. "Will mother come with us?"

"I..." Liang Huaiyu lowered her head, "Nang, I don't know either." Her mood was completely confused.

On the one hand, she hoped that Gu Yuqi would have a strong support, on the other hand, she did not want to go back to the capital.

"Mother, did you ever think that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would really become my support?" Gu Yuqi said slowly. "He had the idea of ​​marrying a dignified young lady of the Houfu to the royal family as a concubine before. How can my mother guarantee that he will not have such thoughts again? Once I am willing to return to Beijing, it will not be so simple to think about it again. already."

"This..." Liang Huaiyu was about to tangle to death, her pretty face turning white and then red, she knew what her daughter said, but how to choose this.

"Mother, think clearly." Gu Yuqi could see that her mother was hesitant, she was not in a hurry, she just persuaded.

"Let me think about it again, think about it again." Liang Huaiyu frowned and said uncontrollably.

Gu Yuqi got up and retire.

Liang Huaiyu thought about this for several days, Gu Huaizhong lived in Liang Mansion. The only thing to do every day is to be courteous to Liang Huaiyu. He knew better than anyone that Gu Yuqi was following Liang Huaiyu's words, and as long as Liang Huaiyu could be coaxed, everything would be easy.

He actually seemed to be back when he was young, changing tricks every day to please Liang Huaiyu, Gu Yuqi looked at her coldly, and didn't say anything, just asked Chun Xing and the others to keep an eye on her.

Gu Huaizhong found various reasons every day to let Liang Huaiyu accompany him to walk around Kuizhou. This place is the border of the Three Kingdoms and is located in the north. However, there are indeed several places with excellent scenery around. Ganquan Temple is one. Danxia Mountain is also one.

Liang Huaiyu was reluctant at first, but couldn't stand Gu Huaizhong's soft and hard bubbles, so he could only temporarily exhaust the friendship of the landlord and accompany him to Ganquan Temple once. How do you know that this time down, there will be a second time, and the third time, Liang Huaiyu has to accompany him out again and again. Gu Huaizhong didn't seem to be in a hurry to bring Gu Yuqi back, but wanted to stay here and wait for Liang Huaiyu to change her mind. Beans are rubbish.

Time passed little by little, and it dragged on for another twenty days.

Gu Yuqi's salary is high, and Li Da is a practical person. After so many days, the street transformed by Gu Yuqi has begun to take shape, and it can be seen. The street designed by Gu Yuqi is so wide that four carriages can pass side by side. At first, Li Da didn't understand why so much vacant land was wasted on the road, but now he stood on the street and looked at it, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Gu Yuqi's thoughts.

The momentum of this street is even grander than that in Jiangxia city.

The streets are paved with yellow square stones. This kind of square stone was collected from Danxia Mountain. The cost is not high, but the effect in the past is very good. Compared with other streets in Kuizhou City, it is simply taller. the pronoun.

Not to mention Kuizhou, it is difficult to find such a road in the whole Northland. The red flag is erected on the roadside. Every few steps, a wind lantern hangs down. Even at night, this road will be illuminated. Bright as day.

On both sides of the road are two rows of neat blue brick buildings, all of which are two-story structures.

Now Li Da doesn't need to look at the construction site all day, but needs to run around in several cities. The streets are built up, and then it is necessary to rent out to be considered as a complete merit.

Rouran and Liang Chao had a lot of businessmen who came here, and they liked it after reading it, but not many were willing to rent it.

Li Da became worried, why couldn't he rent it out? What a good place, the roads are wide enough, and the storefronts are good enough. He could only go to Gu Yuqi for advice.

Gu Yuqi broke the secret in one sentence, there is no popularity here.

What you want in business is to be popular. Don't look at the neatness of the streets here. What's the use of no one coming? The original square market in Kuizhou, which is separated by three streets, is different. Although the road is dilapidated, the shops facing the street are lined up one by one, and the merchants who come and go are used to going there.

This made Li Da anxious. He also invested a lot of money on this street. What if the shop could not be rented out?

"If you can't rent it out, you won't rent it." Gu Yuqi smiled slowly.

"Don't rent?" Li Day heard this and almost jumped up from the stool, "If you don't rent, then what are we building for?"

"You can rest assured and listen to me." Gu Yuqi gave Li Da a look that reassured him, and the old **** said.

Li Da didn't know what kind of medicine Gu Yuqi was selling in the gourd, but he still trusted Gu Yuqi, so he nodded firmly, looking at Li Da's unconditional trusting eyes, Gu Yuqi hesitated a little, if it was her way No, doesn't it live up to Li Da's trust?

You must know that Li Da invested most of his property in order to get this street with her, otherwise the progress would not be so fast.

The next day, all the big and small streets in Kuizhou City were covered with notices, that the new street was about to be built for rent, and the rent of the three shops above was free for the first three months! The shops in the back only need a penny per month for the first three months. The only requirement is that the shop you open must be large enough and have enough products. Each shop is limited to renting one storefront, on a first-come, first-served basis. The rent after three months is determined according to the average price of rent in Kuizhou City.

As soon as this announcement came out, the entire city of Kuizhou was in an uproar.

Everyone passing by there, you can see the change of that street every day, from the shabby to the current scale, everyone is amazed, everyone is guessing that such a good shop street is built, I am afraid that the rent is not Normal shops can afford it.

These are the concerns of the merchants that Li Da looked for. Everyone knows that the street is well built, but it is not popular. If the rent is still high, it will definitely lose money. The business of beheading someone will be done, and the business of losing money will not be sold. made. So Li Da has been busy for so long, but he couldn't find anyone willing to rent it.

As soon as Gu Yuqi released such a notice, Li Da's door was immediately crowded by the swarming merchants.

Isn't a penny a month the same as a free gift?

Autumn is the best season for business in Kuizhou City. The skins and spices in the north and the grains and fruits in the south are all traded here. With such good conditions, who would want to squat in the original place?

Li Da couldn't stop laughing all of a sudden. He wasn't someone who just looked at the profit below his eyelids, otherwise he wouldn't have invested most of his family wealth on Gu Yuqi. He could almost foresee how popular the street would be a year later.

When there are more people renting, there will be competition. Li Da used to beg people to rent, but now they are begging him to rent out the shop, and his status immediately reversed.

He also prepared a copy of all the businessmen who came to ask for rent as instructed by taking care of Yuqi, and gave it to Gu Yuqi to choose.

Since it depends on the long-term plan, it is natural to find some merchants with good reputation and can expand the shop. As for those who want to be opportunistic, they must be eliminated from it.

So Gu Yuqi has been very busy these days. In addition to taking classes, she is screening tenants with Li Da.

After three days of screening, they selected businesses they felt would develop in the future, and asked someone to invite them to sign a contract.

The houses on Gu Yuqi's side have been rented out, and the bosses who originally rented houses to merchants have quit.

Gu Yuqi was robbing them of their jobs, so the day after the contract was signed, the construction site was blocked by these people, and the workers were blocked outside the street by the local gangsters they brought and were not allowed to go in and start work.

Li Da got the news in the morning and rushed over to take a look. Good guy, that posture shocked him. Fortunately, he was originally in the arena, so he was no stranger to this kind of thing that blocked people's doors and made trouble.

"What's wrong?" Li Da walked over with Zhao Wu, and asked someone to move a chair to sit in front of those people, "This is going to cause trouble!" With Zhao Wu backing up, Li Da The courage is also big enough.

Zhao Wu brought out all the guards in the mansion today. Li Da is of course confident. These people are the ones who have killed so many bandits and killers with his own eyes. is not enough to see.

"Your boss won't give us a way to live!" Those bosses also know that behind Li Da is the most popular Liang Mansion in Kuizhou, and even when the Duke of Dingyuan came, he would kneel in front of the door of the Liang Mansion, so they He didn't dare to speak too much, and he didn't dare to ask people to smash people's houses. It just blocked the passages on both sides of the street, and the workers were not allowed to start work.

"It's all a matter of business." Li laughed, "Everything is easy to negotiate."

Gu Yuqi actually came too, standing in a small building on the side of the street, looking out through the stained window.

But she was a little restless when she woke up early this morning, probably because she slept last night.

Gu Huaizhong pestered Liang Huaiyu to accompany him to go fishing the day before yesterday, and today he pestered Liang Huaiyu to accompany him to ride a horse. He left Liang's house early in the morning, and Gu Yuqi didn't even see Liang Huaiyu's face. Chun Xing and Xia He followed, so she brought all the guards in the house here.

She had expected this to happen. After all, she had really robbed others of their jobs. She rented it here at such a low price, and promised to rent it to these people with the average rent of the Kuizhou city shop in three months. People who have a little brain will choose Gu Yuqi's side.

Although some leases are about to expire, they will not rent any more, and there are many leases that have not expired, and they are willing to return the shop in advance, because after comparing the two, it is still cost-effective for Gu Yuqi's side. Therefore, the rent is rising year after year, and in order to make money, the bosses are reluctant to sign long leases with the merchants. They are signed once a year to facilitate the price increase. Now these bosses are ruined.

Gu Yuqi has investigated these situations in advance, so she will issue the notice in a targeted manner.

When the notice was issued, she had already made an agreement with Li Da that if the bosses of Fangshi came to make trouble, he would come forward to talk.

After all, Gu Yuqi is only a girl, so this kind of talk from this group of men is still light.

Li Da was not in a hurry or slow, and according to Gu Yuqi's instructions beforehand, he had someone bring chairs, and the bosses opposite Qing all sat down.

Although the bosses were angry, they couldn't stand their backstage, so they could only bite the bullet and sit down and negotiate with Li Da.

Gu Yuqi's solution is very simple, let those bosses take shares in the plan to transform the market. As long as they are willing to take out the land in their hands and participate in the shares, Gu Yuqi will pay for the rest of the renovation costs. The original ownership of the reconstructed street is still theirs, but Gu Yuqi decides how to use the rest.

When these bosses hear it, is there such a good thing? They looked at each other in dismay, not believing their ears. That's right, what's the difference between that and a pie in the sky. They were looking at the street behind them, imagining that their original shabby houses and the dirty and narrow street in front of them had become the momentum and appearance behind them, no matter what they thought, they felt like they were dreaming just now.

Seeing everyone's faces, Li Da knew that Gu Yuqi's next plan was almost a success, and he really convinced Gu Yuqi's mind. How can there be so many ghost ideas, each of which makes a lot of money.

If Gu Yuqi's plan can be successfully implemented, it is estimated that a copper plate will fall in front of his eyes in the future, and he will not bother to bend over to pick it up, because the time he spends bending over makes much more money than that copper plate.

Gu Yuqi only borrowed the modern business real estate operation model, which seemed to her to be a common thing, but in ancient times, it was unheard of.

General Li told Gu Yuqi's plan in detail, and these bosses began to count with their fingers.

"Would you like to get some abacus?" Li Da looked at them with a funny look and asked steadily.

"Okay." Someone really nodded.

Li Da had been prepared for a long time, and really let Zhao Wu take a few abacus and hand it over to the bosses.

There is a good abacus, and the Perak Barra fiddled with the abacus. After some calculations, they all became happy.

"Is what Brother Li said true?" Someone asked tentatively.

"Nature is true, even truer than pearls!" Li laughed.

The bosses got together and discussed it chatteringly, and finally one of the leaders came out to give Li Dayi a fist, "Our brothers have summed it up and followed Brother Li!"

Li Da was also pleased with the arrogance he said, and immediately stood up and clasped his fists at everyone, "Then find a place to discuss in detail!"

Gu Yuqi meant that it was right for them to participate in the shares, but they were not allowed to participate in all subsequent operations. Instead, dividends were distributed according to the amount of land each family produced.

These bosses are renting houses for rent, and naturally they don't care how you run your business, as long as you have the money to collect them. But you can't talk like this when talking. Gu Yuqi will let Li Dayi tell the bosses what the transformed Fang Market will look like and what functions it will use.

The bosses were stunned when they heard it, and they didn't come back to their senses until Li Da finished speaking.

Originally, according to the idea of ​​taking care of Yuqi, the original square market should be changed into a street for food and entertainment, and there will be more singing and dancing workshops.

This Kuizhou is the junction of the Three Kingdoms. There are a lot of merchants. Now it is not prosperous because of the poor conditions. After the renovation by Gu Yuqi, it will be different. If the square city becomes clean and tidy, open a few more A good inn and a restaurant that integrates cuisines from all over the world, plus the music and dance workshops that invite musicians and dancers from all over the world, how can the business be bad?

If the current street is to play a role in attracting jade, then the street in Fangshi is the rope that binds merchants from all over the country to Kuizhou.

The current ownership of the streets is all owned by Gu Yuqi, but she only rents out and collects rent, and does not participate in the operation of the store. The Fangshi, which will be built soon, is owned by the original owner, and Gu Yuqi personally sends people to run it. Two streets and two different models will make Gu Yuqi a lot of money.

As long as these two streets can be successfully operated, Kuizhou will become the most prosperous commercial and trade center in this area, attracting all the surrounding merchants slowly, and then Gu Yuqi will gradually use other streets in different ways Renovated, in the near future, Kuizhou will be the most important town in the Northland.

This is what Gu Yuqi first showed to Li Da. And Li Da is now running all the way towards this goal.

Li Da was talking outside, Gu Yuqi sat inside and listened quietly. Before she knew it, it was noon. Li Da's conversation went smoothly. The bosses of Fangshi not only evacuated all the people they brought, but also had to Invite Li Da to dinner, Li Da did not refuse, and followed, Gu Yuqi came out of the back room.

"Miss, shall we go back to the manor?" Zhao Wu asked behind him.

"Well, go back." Gu Yuqi nodded.

They had just walked down the stairs when they saw Bai Fu running over in a panic, "Miss, something is bad!"

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuqi only felt a sullenness in her heart, which made her feel a little swirling. She held on to the stairs with one hand, and a very ominous premonition struck. What's wrong with her? I had this uneasy feeling early in the morning.

"Madam... Madam has an accident!" Bai Fu took a deep breath and said.

Gu Yuqi felt her body sway slightly, her eyes darkened, and she almost fell down the stairs, "What's wrong with Madam?" She tried her best to stabilize her mind and asked quickly.

"Madam and Marquis went to the countryside to ride horses. The guards who saw Marquis just came back in a hurry, saying that both Marquis and Madam had an accident." Bai Fu said anxiously.

"What the **** happened!" Gu Yuqi felt that her liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and even her breathing became rapid, she walked down the stairs quickly, grabbed Bai Fu's arm, and wanted to embed her fingers in her flesh middle.

"Master Hou fell off his horse and broke his leg." Bai Fu said, "Madam..." Her words couldn't stop flickering, and her eyes didn't dare to look at Gu Yuqi.

"Speak!" Gu Yuqi was about to die of panic!

"Madam's horse was startled and threw her to the ground. Madam is in a coma now." After Bai Fu finished speaking, she found that her arm was loosened, and Gu Yuqi's people had already fled far away.

"Where is Madam now?" Gu Yuqi asked while running out.

"The madam has been carried back to the mansion." Bai Fu immediately chased after him and said.

Gu Yuqi didn't even know what was going on in her mind. She only felt that her mind was blank, with only five big words fluttering, and something happened to her mother.

She has no time to think about why the accident happened. She just wants to go back to the mansion immediately. She is really afraid. She stole her mother's life. No wonder she is always restless these days. , especially today, she always felt her heart beat faster than usual.

She only left for one morning, how could such a big thing happen?

Why is the horse startled? Is it the ghost of Gu Huaizhong?

She no longer has the heart to take care of these, she just wants to see Liang Huaiyu as soon as possible.

When Gu Yuqi returned to Liang Mansion, several sedan chairs had already stopped at the entrance of Liang Mansion.

The officials of Kuizhou also got the news that the Duke of Dingyuan fell off his horse and was injured, and they rushed to Liangfu one after another.

"Where's my mother?" Gu Yuqi grabbed a servant of the mansion and asked anxiously.
