During the family dinner during the Chinese New Year, Grandpa Gu rarely spoke and had a smile on his face.

"This year is a good year, and the Gu family is thriving. I am very happy. I see everyone's hard work and dedication and remember it in my heart. As we get older, I can see everyone working hard and making progress.

It’s better than being a big official no matter how much money you make.”

The clan members looked at Grandpa Gu with admiration and respect on their faces.

"The family has made some small profits this year. Although it is not much, it is a good thing. I will also share some good news next."

"That's great, it's all good things."

Everyone murmured quietly, with happy smiles on their faces.

"The first thing is that shipping ships can go to sea in the summer. This time the Gu family and the second young master and others cooperate to go to sea, and other aristocratic families will make money together, and our Gu family can also make an extra share."

"Secondly, the town will be officially completed and open for business in the spring. Leizi and Yu'er have worked hard for more than half a year, putting aside their dignity and filling up a few shops for the family property in the town. If they work well in the future, the family property will not have to worry about money.

"

"Finally, His Highness will open a workshop next year. He valued Yu'er's ability and asked Leizi to take charge of this aspect. The workshop will be settled in the town and will be opened in the spring. There are not enough manpower, so His Highness gave a few good positions, and I recommended a few

My son, I will be appointed as an eighth-grade official, go and do a good job."

"Yes, thank you, old man."

Everyone cheered in unison.

The Gu family finally received attention based on their own strength and talents, rather than as gifts.

"The rest is our own business. We have made money from the family property this year. Next spring, we will invest in schools and martial arts classes to train our children and grandchildren. This is the top priority. The two children and Lao Shisan have studied it, and the class

The rules need to be changed, they are not strict enough."

"There is no advantage in vain. This money is earned with sweat and tears. The whole family works together. You all know how hard you work. You have invested so much. If you can't get results, there will be punishment. If you get good results, it will be natural."

There should also be rewards.”

"Yes, listen to the old man. We don't have to say anything. We will be punished when we need to be beaten and punished. We will obey orders."

This time, everyone is united and there are no complaints, life is moving forward, and the difficulties at home have eased. They have not treated us badly, so we don’t talk nonsense, just follow along and be done with it.

Grandpa Gu nodded, "The rules in the school have become stricter. They will be beaten harshly. Girls are not allowed to talk too much, and they are not allowed to cry."

"yes."

The female relatives also nodded in agreement, and they knew what was happening.

"The punishment is severe, but the reward is not light either. Those who pass the exams and those who have military merit will be rewarded. Houses, farmland, shops, everything you want is available. As long as you do well, no one will be wronged if you don't say anything."

"yes."

"In the matter of the workshop, Your Highness is giving my grandson daughter-in-law face, and the Gu family is getting the glory. My grandson daughter-in-law has not lost anything, and all the good things have been given to the children and grandchildren of the Gu family. You should work hard and worry about it, you know what to do. If you lose this little face, you will be the direct descendant of the family in the future.

I won’t care about your life or death anymore, we have done our best.”

Let’s talk about Grandpa Gu’s ugly words first. We must let the clan know how much hard work Li Yu has put in and how much benefits he has obtained for the Gu family. Don’t pretend to be stupid.

"Yes, we know that the wife of the clan works hard and is dedicated to the care of the family. We will not force her to do anything and do whatever she is told."

"Yes, don't worry, we won't be stupid again this time. Old lady, please watch our actions. If we don't do it well, you can whip us."

Many men patted their chests and promised that they would earn their face back and not let it fall to the ground.

This time, it was really His Highness the Night King who valued Li Yu's ability and gave the Gu family face. It was Li Yu who earned the Gu family's face by praising the Gu family. If he didn't appreciate it, he would have no shame in going out.

Grandpa Gu then nodded and looked at everyone, "Young and old gentlemen, this is not the capital. This is Linqi, where powerful families have been entrenched for generations. It is not our territory. Every opportunity is obtained by them kowtowing in front. It is not easy.

, everyone must be twisted into a rope and fight among themselves half-heartedly. Even if the Great Luo Immortal comes, he will not be able to save the Gu family."

"yes."

Everyone stood up.

Grandpa Gu picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, gentlemen, I respect you all. Don't let me be unable to explain to my ancestors after my death."

"Here."

The men of the Gu family responded loudly, and the sound resounded throughout the Gu family like a bell or a drum.

Grandpa Gu boosted everyone's morale and arranged for several uncles to work with His Highness. No matter what opportunity came, they would start working first. If they did well, they would be able to fight for other opportunities.

Everyone got together to study the workshop, while the elders were thinking about where to change the school rules and how to teach the children in the spring.

Li Yu invited a master from the Wang family to teach the Gu family. He was also an old master. He came from a serious family background. He served as an official and retired due to poor health. He also had rich teaching experience.

Everyone in the Gu family, old and young, was very happy and had a hundred submissions and admiration for Li Yu.

Having a good wife educate her children and grandchildren will benefit the entire clan, and everyone will naturally understand what she means.

After the New Year, spring started, the snow melted, and Gu Lei started to be busy again. The town was still almost completed, and what was left was how to develop it prosperously and play its due role.

The merchants have already arranged for people to clean up the shops and open them for business. It is true that there are not many people at the opening.

But it is indeed much more convenient. With such a transit town, a lot of money can be saved in transporting goods back and forth, and the speed is much faster than before. Goods traveling from south to north have gradually begun to be transported to the town in a centralized manner, and the dock is already very busy.

The Li family is responsible for building sea ships. When the town was built a few years ago, they started building sea ships under the command of the Night King. They were the type with weapons and artillery, and they were considered to have pirates.

Next, the Li family, the Gu family, the Zhao family, the Sun family, the Lu family and other military families all sent many young disciples to prepare to go to sea with the ships.

The journey to the sea is long, so you must have a navy. This is a military officer's specialty, and you can naturally gain military merit.

Li Yu personally ordered some people to be sent to the ship. They first made several trips to Jiangnan, Fujian and other places to adapt to life at sea, which was also training and cooperation.

This can be regarded as someone with a military position. Many of the young men who were trained in the farm before were picked away at similar ages.

The remaining children are all half-grown, and may join the army in two years. The two families have already begun to marry the children, and time is waiting for no one.

Li Yu was very busy. She had to go to the carpentry workshop to look at the shipbuilding issues, especially issues such as concealing weapons. The mortise and tenon structure was more sophisticated and couldn't be done without her craftsmanship.

The training at the farm has been handed over to the Gu brothers. This time they will not be lazy even if there is no Li Yu. The future is in front of them, and all the capable sons who have trained well have left early.

Li Yu still needs to find someone to marry Brother Ping and Wan'er, so he can only leave this matter to his mother, Wang.

I went back to my parents’ house first.

"Mom, I have something to ask you."

"It's the marriage between Brother Ping and Wan'er. Your mother-in-law was nagging me about this matter, please beg me."

Gu Lin saw that Li Yu was too busy, so she came over to beg Wang for help.

"It's their business, you see..."

"Don't be in a hurry when it comes to marriage. Brother Ping is actually easy to talk to. What's difficult is Wan'er's business."
