Chapter 235: The rear area, Shuzhou

The words "conquer the world" made the people present excited.

Gu Hua then turned his gaze to Shen Hongling and said solemnly: "Shuzhou is our base camp, so I'll leave it to you."

Shen Hongwei was shocked. She obviously didn't expect Gu Hua to give her the task of guarding the rear.

"Sister Gu, I..."

When Luo Dingshan saw that Gu Hua left the girl he loved in Shuzhou to guard the city, he looked left and right at Chai Yuangui and Du Tianlin, saying that he was sorry to his brothers.

He stepped out of the line, clasped his fists, and said, "Master Gu, I am willing to stay and help Miss Shen defend the city."

Gu Hua glanced at him, and there was a flash in his eyes, as expected.

If Shen Hongwei stayed, she would think that the cunning monkey spirit Luo Dingshan would definitely offer to stay and guard the city, which would just make up for the little girl's shortcoming of being simple-minded.

After discussing the matter, everyone hurriedly left to plan what they were going to do next...

The next day, Gu Hua walked towards the yamen in the morning sunshine, followed by Zhang Shanhu and several guards protecting her.

Looking at the small vendors carrying loads on their shoulders walking past him on the street, and the people who came from the countryside carrying chickens, ducks, fish, geese and vegetables to sell after the city gates opened in the morning, they probably didn't know that there was a bloody battle in the city yesterday.

Early this morning, he started selling his wares through the streets and alleys carrying his load on his shoulder.

In yesterday's fierce rebellion, the battlefield was intentionally led outside the city by Gu Hua, and the streets and houses in the city did not suffer major damage.

After yesterday's battle, many brave Shuzhou citizens secretly ran to the city gate to watch the city troops deal with the bodies of the rebels.

As Gu Hua walked along, he saw that many stores were not affected by yesterday and had already opened for business.

When she passed by a shop with a star pattern on its logo, the dignified-looking female shopkeeper who had just walked down from the second floor and was standing in the lobby instructing the shop assistants caught a glimpse of a figure about to pass by.

He immediately trotted to the door, walked to Gu Hua as if entertaining a guest, and bowed slightly, "Boss, there was such a big commotion yesterday, are you and the young masters okay?!"

"We are all fine, nothing happened." Gu Hua smiled as he looked at Xi Yating, his own female shopkeeper who had been transferred to Shuzhou to manage the shop during the Wanping riot three years ago.

"Where are Xiaojuan and Lao Yan?"

Xi Yating felt a little embarrassed, thinking that she was not a little girl anymore, she was married, and she had wrestled with men countless times in the business world. She had long thrown away her sense of shame.

She patted her cheek, the shy blush on her face disappeared, and she replied loudly: "Xiaojuan got up early to eat wontons, and Lao Yan took him to the stall next door to have breakfast."

Gu Hua glanced at Madam Xi teasingly, then smiled slightly and said, "It seems like you two are getting along well. I'm relieved."

At the beginning, the two men received his orders to be transferred from Wanping Prefecture to Shuzhou. They risked their lives and took the trouble to bring people here, and even brought a large amount of remaining goods from there.

Afterwards, he cooperated with Murray, who led the business team, and Su Fuying, who was responsible for overseas trade, to form a business circulation system.

The goods they brought back from outside were wholesaled to shops all over Daxuan by Xi Niangzi and Yan Minghua. Su Fuying brought back items from overseas. Because Daxuan was in a chaotic time with wars everywhere, few people bought these rare and precious things. These things were eventually received by Murray, a businessman, and transported to other countries for sale through special smuggling routes.

The idea of ​​setting up shops in other countries was of course Gu Hua's idea, and the person in charge of the business in Mobei and Beiman was Fang Kuan, who had been there.

Because there was a person there who had some connection with Gu Hua, no one ever dared to cause trouble for Fang Kuan when he started his business in Mobei.

…because all the local people who caused trouble for him were dealt with by that man.

In addition, the entire canal transportation industry is under the control of Gu Hua, with Feng Biao, who understands the rules of various water industries, in charge of management. The sea, land, and canal, as well as Murray, who travels to other countries for business, all work together. This is how Gu Hua built the trade industry chain, earning her a lot of money.

Madam Xi and Yan Minghua had been through a lot together. She didn't mind that he had a disabled leg, and the other didn't mind that she had been married and had a child. So the two of them invited their acquaintances to a meal and got married.

Gu Hua left the shop managed by Madam Xi and watched the streets gradually become bustling with people coming and going, and saw a prosperous scene before his eyes.

Compared to a few years ago when she came here and saw the people in low spirits, scattered shops doing business, and a bleak scene everywhere, Gu Hua felt a little relieved and proud in her heart.

The people can live and work in peace and contentment, and have extra money to go shopping on the streets. These are what she has brought to the people of Shuzhou. What could make her feel more accomplished than this?

Gu Hua walked to the tall, always-lit gate of the newly renovated government office. Today she had to arrange the internal affairs of Shuzhou City so that she could have peace at the rear when she led her troops out to conquer the world.

After entering her exclusive office in the yamen, she asked someone to call the two experienced old men, Chen Dajiu and Sun Chengfeng, who had been transferred to Shuzhou City to assist her in handling government affairs and had already found teachers to teach the children in the mountains.

There were also some other officials who she promoted after she took over Shuzhou by knowing how to use people well.

In addition to Chen Ling, Zhuge Xuan, Chen Ze, Sun Chengfeng and some others, the most prominent ones are the two female officials in charge of the economic income and expenditure accounts of Shuzhou, Zuo Xianghan and Shen Hongxuan.

Zuo Xianghan was dressed in a plain official uniform, looking cool and dignified, while Shen Hongxuan lost her frail look and showed her toughness. Perhaps because they had worked with Gu Hua for many years, they both exuded a vigorous spirit, with shrewdness and wisdom in their eyes.

Gu Hua talked about the current situation and his plans for Shuzhou in the future.

Zhuge Xuan, the teacher arranged by Xiao Junlin to teach An An and the others both literary and military tactics, frowned slightly and analyzed solemnly: "Our Shuzhou is developing better and better, and has been targeted and coveted by many other forces.

If we do not resist and continue to cling to the land of Shuzhou without seeking expansion, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the fate of being swallowed up by other warlords one day. "

Sun Chengfeng: "That's right, young lady, you have your heart set on something, go ahead and do whatever you want, here I and Minister Chen will be there to help you guard the rear, you don't have to worry."

"Yes!" Uncle Chen also spoke up, "Hua'er, Old Sun and I can still help you with government affairs, but you have to make arrangements for the military affairs of defending the city."

Gu Hua understood what Uncle Chen meant.

Even if things happen in the Shuzhou City government office with him in charge, nothing serious will happen, so she doesn't have to worry about it, but the city commander will ask her to arrange a reliable person.

Shuzhou can be said to be her rear base. Once the person behind her has ulterior motives, even if it is not a devastating blow to her, it will at least cause her serious damage.
