I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 224 Selling Grain

Someone outside the door immediately responded and went to do it.

Soon, all the officials and staff of the palace gathered in Prince Li's study.

King Li looked at everyone with a cold gaze.

Everyone who was being stared at became inexplicably nervous.

King Li saw the person standing here.

These are the people who have followed him for half his life. They are all his confidants. "I have obtained several peerless military books. You will copy them here from today. Just copy each book twice."

Everyone:...

I complained in my heart, hey! The prince was influenced by the little grandson after all.

Although they complained in their hearts, no one dared to disobey the prince's order. Moreover, everyone knew the value of the peerless military book.

The prince allowed them to copy the book, which showed his trust in them, so they all said in unison, "Yes, we will obey your order."

They each sat down at the desk, copied a book together, and began to write.

As for Gu Dajiang, after leaving Prince Li's Mansion, he led his men straight back to the shop.

"You guys go park your carriages and have a rest." Gu Dajiang said to the several intelligent robots that followed him out.

"Yes, master." The intelligent robots responded.

Gu Dajiang arranged for an intelligent robot butler and went to find Gu Fu.

Gu Fu just came out of the space and saw Gu Dajiang coming over. He said happily, "Second uncle, you're back."

"Hey, I'm back." Gu Dajiang took out the renderings and handed them to Gu Fu, saying, "Fu'er, Second Uncle has already asked King Li. King Li said that the building height can be built according to our design, and the height between the sky bridge and the ground is preferably five meters."

"Great, great, great, Second Uncle is awesome! Fuer has noted down the data." Gu Fu gave a thumbs up and praised Second Uncle.

Then he took out a pen and marked the effect diagram with symbols.

Gu Dajiang smiled broadly when he was praised by his niece, and thought about King Li's plan to transfer grain.

Gu Dajiang scratched his head as he looked at his niece's small body. He coughed and said, "But Fu'er, your uncle has given you another big job. You may have to work hard for Fu'er in the next few days."

"What kind of work?" Gu Fu looked at his second uncle and deliberately acted cautious and defensive, and asked.

"That's right. Second uncle agreed to help King Li provide food to be transferred to the capital. It was agreed that he would come to our shop to pick up the goods in three days. So, Fuer will have to trouble you to load the food again." Gu Dajiang's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

Finally, he simply walked forward with a smile on his face, pinching his niece's arm and said, "Second uncle knows that our Fu'er has worked hard. If you want anything, tell me and I will get it for you." Gu Dajiang said flatteringly.

"Okay, then I have to think about it carefully. I must kill my second uncle this time." Gu Fu said, biting his little milk teeth and making a vicious expression.

Just like that, it's so cute no matter how you look at it.

Gu Dajiang smiled and picked up his little niece, rubbed her round head with one hand and said, "Okay, then you must think of a big one."

"Ah! My hairstyle!" Gu Fu quickly held his head with both hands and shouted.

What responded to her was Gu Dajiang's laughter.

The uncle and nephew discussed things amidst laughter, and Gu Fu took Zhibao and the idle robots in the space into the space to load food.

Gu Dajiang then arranged for robots to enter and exit the city gate every day and pull back cartloads of large sacks disguised as grain.

After returning, Gu Fu will replace the sacks pulled back by the robots with real food.

In this way, on the day of grain delivery, a total of twenty-five carts of grain were prepared to be sent to the capital.

In the early morning, the uncle and nephew counted the food in the store. Gu Fu took Gu Dajiang for a walk to see where the food was so that they could know exactly where it was.

Gu Dajiang looked at the food that was stuffed into the rooms of the shops and said happily, "If these grains are exclusively supplied to the capital, they should be enough to last until the summer harvest."

"I'm afraid it's not enough. If there is grain in the capital, the emperor will not watch the south and northwest go without food. He will definitely transfer grain for relief.

Second uncle, after the grain is taken away, I will restock these houses with grain.

This way, even if we return to the valley, we won’t have to worry about running out of food outside in the short term.”

"That's fine. I will continue to let the team go out to transport soil tomorrow. But our Fu'er will have to work hard again." Gu Dajiang said.

"It's okay, Fuer will remember it and ask Second Uncle to exchange it for a big gift when the time comes." Gu Fu said with a raised face.

"Okay, okay, Second Uncle will remember it too," said Gu Dajiang.

"Uncle, you should wait for King Li to come and take away the grain. Uncle, the next handover depends on you. Fuer will go back first." Gu Fu said with a small yawn.

"Okay, okay, go back and have a rest. Second uncle will be here to guard the place." Gu Dajiang said.

Gu Fu was held in Zhibao's arms. He lay on Zhibao's shoulder with his eyes closed. He fell into a sweet dream as Zhibao swayed with his steps.

Not long after Gu Fu left, King Li personally led a team of people to the door of Gu Dajiang's shop.

The group of people, as well as the horses, were well-trained, and the horses' hooves were wrapped with cloth to avoid making any noise.

Gu Dajiang had been guarding the door. When he saw Prince Li coming in person, he hurried forward and bowed, saying, "I pay my respects to His Majesty."

"Boss Gu, you've been waiting for a long time. No need to be polite. Where is the food? Let's load it into the truck now." King Li said. "I wonder how much you have prepared?"

"Your Highness, there are about 25 carts, totaling 1.5 million dou of grain. Your Highness will know when he sees it." Gu Dajiang said in a low voice.

When King Li heard the number, he was so shocked that he almost stumbled.

Fortunately, he had excellent reaction ability and fighting skills, so he was able to keep his body steady and not be noticed.

King Li was shocked. What kind of background did the Gu family have? In just three days, they could produce 1.5 million buckets of grain!

The price was fifty cents per dou as agreed upon by the two men privately, and Gu Dajiang was paid a silver note of seventy-five thousand taels.

Due to the difference in horses and the distance, the final 25 carts were loaded with more than 30 carts. King Li had to send more people to escort the grain into the capital.

After the mighty grain transport convoy left, King Li said, "This time, I was able to fulfill the emperor's order, thanks to the help of Boss Gu. Boss Gu will definitely give credit to His Majesty."

"Your Highness, that's not right. Doing our best for Da Xia is the duty of every citizen of Da Xia. I just did what I should do, and your Highness paid me in full. There is no question of any merit at all." Gu Dajiang said with a smile.

"Boss Gu has great ambitions in his heart! I have made my own decision. Didn't I hear that Boss Gu wants to build a house? Do you need me to recommend a craftsman to you?" King Li changed the subject and asked with concern.

"We have just arrived in Zesheng County. It would be great if the prince could introduce us. I would like to thank the prince for his kindness. However, the materials used for the house we want to build are somewhat special. We need to wait until all the materials are ready before we can build the house." Gu Dajiang said.

"I wonder what kind of material it is? Although our Zesheng County is not prosperous, I think we can still buy all the materials for building houses." King Li asked doubtfully.
