Chapter 794 (2/2)
The north is prosperous and the west is poor. Ha ha, the sky of the King City is far away. It seems that you can't find any object to plunder.
If the front line is extended and goes deep into the grassland, the supply of grain and grass will become the biggest problem.
The old Marquis closed his eyes and thought about it.
Gu Rui suddenly opened his mouth and said: ”the four seas business, and Shaofu.”
”What?”
”My grandson said that there were Sihai commercial banks and Shaofu, and Sanhe express. Even if the front line was extended, the supply of grain and grass would not be a problem.” Gu Rui has a good voice.
However, to the old lord and the great master, the words were like a rock shattering.
The old Marquis asked, ”Dalang, why do you think that Sihai merchants can solve the supply of grain and grass?”Gu Rui said honestly: ”to my grandfather, my grandson just trusted Xiaojiu's sister. I believe that she also considered the problem of food and grass, and is working to solve it. She reminded us to prepare for the war. Obviously, the war was in her estimation. Little sister Jiu has always done things in a proper way, and I think this time is no exception. ”
Because you believe that the problem can be solved The old Marquis felt incredible.
Gu Rui nodded, ”if you were to prepare food for the imperial court, to tell the truth, my grandson has no confidence. The court has many disadvantages and delays in handling affairs. However, if Xiaojiu sister comes forward to prepare food and grass, she can always do things that others can't do and always create miracles. I'm sure she can. ”
”Why do you have so much faith in her?” Master Gu Zhiwen asked curiously.
Gu Rui solemnly said: ”grandfather and father, little sister Jiu did not have much contact, so they did not know her. My wife, Zhou, has frequent contacts with Xiaojiu's younger sister, but is more familiar with them. My confidence in Xiaojiu comes from what she has done over the years
The old Marquis sighed, ”I'm really old!”
Master Gu Zhiwen asked, ”even if Xiaojiu has a way to solve the problem of grain and grass, his majesty may not use her.”
But the old Marquis laughed, ”I remember how many times when the late emperor was still there, she dissolved the impossibility one by one and made the impossibility possible. If Xiaojiu really has a way to prepare food and grass, I believe she will be able to persuade your majesty. It's just that the time hasn't come. It's not the time to tell. This matter you father and son two people clear can, can not be introduced ”Pingnan Hou Gu Mu generation of meritorious officials, also came to the end of life.”
The impermanence of life gave rise to some feelings of Wende.
After thinking for several days, Emperor Wende gave the decree.
After the imperial edict was sent to the Marquis, Gu Zhiwen, the eldest master, succeeded in the title of marquis.
The old Marquis was pleased with a smile. He closed his eyes with a smile and died!
The Marquis's house is sad!
White lanterns were hung on the front door of Hou's residence, and the housekeeper and his family reported the funeral.
Gu Jiu was saddened to learn that the old Marquis had passed away.
She lay down in Liu Zhao's arms and sobbed twice in a low voice.
Liu Zhao hugged her and comforted her softly, ”tomorrow I will go to the Marquis's house with you for a memorial ceremony.”
Gu Jiu nodded, ”although I don't have much contact with the old Marquis, I know that he is very kind to the younger generation and is also very concerned. Gu is the head of his family.
My father, as well as my great uncle, was able to successfully become an official in those years, thanks to the help of the old Marquis. Now that people are gone, it feels like an era is coming to an end, and I feel very uncomfortable. ”
Liu Zhao said, ”don't be too sad. You are not in good health. You can't be very happy or sad. The generation of the old Marquis is is becoming less and less. When the old guys are gone, an era will come to an end. This is the inevitable result. It's a good thing to be able to leave your own traces in the turbulent years and not come to this world in vain
Gu Jiu wiped away her tears and turned Liu Zhao white.
”Your thoughts, always with a cold breath, seem extremely cold and heartless.”
Liu Zhao said frankly: ”I am not familiar with the old Marquis. I can't feel his death. I can only tell you what I really think, cold as it is, but honest enough
Gu Jiu bit on his arm, ”don't irritate me. Everyone knows the truth, but not everyone is willing to listen to you.”
Liu Zhao is good as a stream, ”I'll say less.”
