Chapter 590 Business Exchange Abroad
Compared with Jie Sanshao's depression, Cheng Hao is obviously much more open-minded.
He has been with Gu Chan since Zhongyuan City, and he already has a clear understanding of himself.
So at this time, he didn't rely on others and said directly, "Master, after getting to know Brother Jie during this period, I also understand that my ability is indeed not as good as his, and he should still be the county magistrate."
"Brother Cheng, where are you, my ability is only better than yours, but in terms of strength, I'm really not as good as you. Look at the masters and those officials in the county government, who are not obeying your words! They are thinking from the bottom of their hearts. I'll convince you." Mr. Xie said hurriedly.
"What's the use of having strength? To govern such a big city as Jiangnan City, what is needed is ability, not strength." Cheng Hao said frankly.
Third Young Master Jie still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Gu Chan with a wave of his hand, "Okay, stop being so modest. I did this specially to convince both of you. To be honest, at first, I felt like the county magistrate The best candidate is Cheng Hao. After all, he has been with me for so long. I can’t treat him badly, but I also want him to understand where his shortcomings lie.”
"Master, I understand your painstaking efforts. Now I have a clear understanding of myself, which is not like before." Cheng Hao said respectfully.
"It can be seen that you have indeed grown, which is a good thing." Gu Chan said with satisfaction.
A smile appeared on Cheng Hao's face, and he looked much calmer than before.
This means that after Yuan Jie left with Zuo Yun, he has indeed grown a lot and is no longer as ignorant as before.
Third Young Master Jie began to admire Gu Chan so much that he couldn't help but clasped his fists in salute and said, "The lord's method really makes me admire him."
"Okay, stop flattering me. I'm calling you here today to resolve this matter completely. From now on, you will be the real county magistrate of Jiangnan City. Here is an official document from me. Take it. Go back to the county government office and show it to the master and the officials. If any of them dares to disobey you in the future, you will give them a hard lesson." Gu Chan said as he took out the official document he had already written.
Third Young Master Jie quickly stepped forward to take the official document and bowed down to her.
Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "Get up! Hurry and take over the entire county government and do what needs to be done."
"Yes, Lord." Third Young Master Jie stood up, excused himself and left.
After he left, Cheng Haocai sighed and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I betrayed your trust in me again."
"Don't talk about this. I'm very satisfied that you can humbly give up your position as county magistrate to Mr. Jie San. You can't be idle next. Go pack your luggage quickly and board the ship with me in the evening to go to Night Star Country. "Gu Chan said.
"Ah? Going to Night Star Country?" Cheng Hao said in surprise.
Since Gu Chan trusted him, she told him everything about going to Yexing Country to borrow money and food through business exchanges.
After hearing this, Cheng Hao's eyes lit up and he said, "As expected of my master, he is really powerful. If he goes to Yexing Kingdom and accomplishes this this time, it will be even more difficult for the prince to deal with us again."
"Go quickly! We'll see you on the Great China in the evening." Gu Chan ordered.
"Yes, Master." Cheng Hao responded happily.
Then he hurriedly excused himself and went back to pack his luggage.
Gu Chan also left the study and went to her room in the backyard. She put the two sets of clothes and the beast-controlling divine sword into a package. Then she left the Lord's Mansion with the package on her back and drove to the Jiangnan River in a carriage. Chang's Wharf.
After dark.
Just when Gu Chan was impatient waiting on board the Great China, Cheng Hao finally rushed over.
He got on the boat, and the Great China paddled toward the lower reaches of the Jiangnan River. Gu Chan stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the dark river ahead, her face uncertain.
Contrary to her, the Jiangnan Five Golden Flowers and the crew sitting in the rear cabin were all extremely happy.
After all, in this world, it is rare to go abroad. This time Gu Chan is taking them abroad for business exchanges, and they are naturally very happy.
But for Gu Chan, this is a journey of life and death.
If she goes to Yexing Kingdom this time and successfully borrows money and food, then she can save her own life and the lives of the victims in the Jiangnan area. But if she fails to do this, I am afraid that what awaits her in the future will be A huge disaster.
So Gu Chan is very worried at the moment!
Cheng Hao stood beside her and whispered, "Master, good luck has its own destiny. No matter what kind of danger you encounter along the way, you can turn danger into good fortune every time. I believe you can do the same this time." .”
"What if it doesn't work this time?" Gu Chan said with a wry smile.
"Then we will die together with you! At worst, we will be a good man again in eighteen years." Cheng Hao said firmly.
Gu Chan chuckled, feeling warm in her heart.
It is also a success for her to have such loyal subordinates.
As the saying goes, do your best and obey fate!
From now on, she just has to work hard. Regardless of success or failure, everything will be left to God's will.
With this thought, Gu Chan no longer worried, but returned to the cabin with Cheng Hao with a smile on her face, listening to music, drinking and chatting with everyone.
On the other side, inside the Jigong Temple on Jiangnan Chengdong Street.
At this time, the nine-fingered old beggar was sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall, chanting scriptures.
The mangy dog stood behind him and reported, "Old gang leader, the beggar sent to inquire came back. He said that Gu Chan took his subordinate Cheng Hao aboard the Dahuaxia, and now their merchant ship has gone down the Jiangnan River. .”
"What the hell is this little devil doing? He accepted the imperial edict and instead of going to Kyoto, he went down the Jiangnan River instead?" The nine-fingered old beggar opened his eyes and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"I don't know, but in the morning a beggar came to report that he had sent the chief steward Wei Xing to the Jiangnan Camp and had returned the imperial edict to the Kuang General Nan Xing." said the mangy dog.
The nine-fingered old beggar frowned in shock, suddenly turned around and stared at him and said, "Why did he return the imperial edict to Nan Xingkuang?"
"Old gang leader... this... I don't know this! Don't scare me, but I have nothing to do with it!" the mangy dog said in a trembling voice.
Just because he has been with the old gang leader for so long, he has never seen when the old gang leader's face became so scary.
The nine-fingered old beggar realized that he had lost his composure, and immediately became calm and said, "Okay, you can go down! Just pretend you don't know about this matter, and don't mention it to anyone. If you dare to leak the news, I will be the first to kill you." You’re a piece of shit.”
"Yes, old gang leader, I must keep it a secret." The mangy dog was so frightened that he quickly agreed.
Then he ran out quickly as if running for his life.
However, the nine-fingered old beggar could no longer sit still. He immediately got up and left Jigong Temple, quietly rushing to Jiangnan Camp.
