It's already halfway through now, and Gu Mo has just been dragged into the empress's mansion by Wen Wen, and it may take a long time to complete the process.

Gu Lanyi was thinking that Wen Ziyu hadn't eaten since morning, so she brought a piece of snack over after sending it off.

"Eat a pad first, and I will take you out to eat."

As a married person, Gu Lanyi knew very well that the dishes on this kind of banquet were nothing but good-looking, and they were dry and tasteless in the mouth, and tasted like chewing wax.

"Come on, slow down."

Wen Ziyu swept away his frustration, finished his snacks in a few mouthfuls, then happily stuffed his hands into her big palms, and was led to the street.

The East Street was not affected by the empress dowager's marriage, restaurant diners were still coming in and out, and vendors on the street were yelling at the top of their voices.

"What to eat?"

Wen Ziyu originally wanted to go to the restaurant to order a few dishes, but he changed his mind instantly when he saw various stalls on the street.

He was first attracted by the mutton pancakes. The delicious mutton stuffed in the middle of the browned and crispy pancakes, served with soy sauce, exudes a tempting aroma after being baked.

Wen Ziyu couldn't help tugging at Gu Lanyi's hem, blinking his big eyes and beggingly looking at her.

The color of Gu Lan's clothes made her dizzy.

"purchase!"

The newly baked hu biscuits were wrapped in oil paper and put into Wen Ziyu's hands. He couldn't wait to take a bite.

"good to eat!"

East Street is the busiest street in the capital. The morning and evening markets are held on this street. Vendors crowded their stalls, and shopkeepers tried their best to solicit customers at the door.

"Hey guest officer, do you want to eat something? Our building has everything."

"Guest officer, there are high-quality wines in our building, come and have a taste?"

"This gentleman is so handsome, won't the guest officer buy some jewelry for him to dress up?"

Gu Lanyi glanced into the jewelry store, hesitated for a moment, and the people around her disappeared.

There were people coming and going on the street, she quickly turned her head to look for people, and was relieved when she saw the figure beside the street stall.

When she walked over, she happened to see Wen Ziyu picking up a wooden gadget from the booth.

"what is this?"

Wen Ziyu handed her the wooden pony, "Little toy."

It is indeed a very ordinary small Trojan horse, which looks like the kind to amuse children.

The above is carved into the shape of a horse with rough wood. The only unusual thing is that there is a wheel under each of the four horse legs, so that the small wooden horse can slide on the ground.

Gu Lanyi glanced at it and returned it to him, wondering why he suddenly became interested in children's toys.

"like?"

Wen Ziyu shook his head and put the little wooden horse back into the booth.

"Let's go."

Wen Ziyu walked a few steps forward, but found that the woman hadn't followed, turned around and saw Gu Lanyi was still standing at the stall, holding a small wooden horse, and was handing a few copper coins to the peddler.

He hurried back, "Why did you buy this?"

Gu Lanyi stuffed the little wooden horse back into his hand and said, "It's cute, hold it for me."

Wen Ziyu took the Trojan horse distressedly, "What a waste of money, it's better to buy food."

Gu Lanyi smiled helplessly, this little guy knows how to save money.

Then there was a bit of sourness in his heart, and the little prince who had golden branches and jade leaves followed her and learned to save money.

This general is really helpless.

"Okay, don't feel bad, you don't need to save money for your wife, we have enough money now."

Wen Ziyu rolled his eyes, "Although I got up early today, it's not like I'm still in a dream right now?"

Hey!

Gu Lanyi pinched the soft flesh on his face angrily, "If you don't believe me, come with me."

Wen Ziyu whimpered and freed his face from her grasp, and then put the little Trojan horse into his clothes.

"Where are you going? Are you going to rob the bank?"

Gu Lanyi was so angry that he ignored him, this kid really needs to be dealt with.

"Even if you are good at martial arts, the bank has hired a lot of masters to guard it. What if you can't beat it?"

"..."

"I'll save you. If I can't beat you, then the two of us will have to be arrested together."

Gu Lanyi couldn't bear it anymore, she stopped suddenly and turned around, Wen Ziyu bumped into him with a bang.

"Well."

Gu Lanyi rubbed his forehead angrily, "Does it hurt?"

"Oh, it's all your fault, why did you stop all of a sudden?"

Gu Lanyi snorted, "Nong, this is not the bank, let's go in."

Wen Ziyu's eyes widened, and he said tremblingly, "You, you really plan to rob the bank?"

"if not?"

Gu Lanyi took his hand and strode towards the gate of the bank.

"Hey, wait, wait."

Wen Ziyu was so frightened that he pulled her with all his strength and swallowed, "Don't you really need to think about it again? You just go in like this?"

Gu Lanyi spread her hands, "No need, let's go in."

"Gu Lanyi, think about it. If you are really poor, I still have some jewelry at my place. Let's discuss it in the long run. If it doesn't work, let's return the things. I can ask daddy for more..."

Wen Ziyu's strength was weak, and while crying, he was dragged into the bank by Gu Lanyi, the salt shop next door.

Wen Ziyu: "...Ugh, huh?"

He stood in the salt shop with a dazed expression, and looked at Gu Lanyi in blank dismay.

"Pfft."

Gu Lanyi couldn't help laughing, the panic expression on his palm-sized face hadn't dissipated, and his big bright eyes were full of bewilderment, like a doll in a New Year painting on a drawing paper with a dazed expression.

"General, sir! You are here!"

A joyful voice sounded, it was actually Li Yang who went to Donglai half a month ago!

Wen Ziyu's eyes gradually lit up, and he looked at the furnishings in the shop in surprise.

This is their salt shop!

He ran to the salt tank, dipped his fingers in some fine salt, put it in his mouth and licked it, it was so salty that he licked his tongue several times, but he was still happy.

Leave the fine salt tank and look at the coarse salt on the other side.

Gu Lanyi looked at him amusedly, groped around, and patted Li Yang on the shoulder.

"Not bad, I was not disappointed."

Li Yang was affirmed by the general, and he pursed his lips and laughed.

"Meow~"

A chubby cat jumped from the cabinet into Li Yang's arms, and Li Yang lowered his body suddenly and hugged him reluctantly.

"Tortoiseshell! You should lose weight!"

Gu Lanyi looked in surprise at this cat, which was still sick the last time she saw it, and now she was fat like a pig, and stretched out her hand to smooth its fur.

With a smile, he said, "The tortoise shell is much healthier now."

Li Yang scratched his head embarrassingly, "Haha, it eats so much that it's too lazy to walk. I'm just worried about losing weight for it."

At this time, Wen Ziyu had already touched the entire salt shop and came over. When he approached, he saw the tortoise shell in Li Yang's arms, and cried out in surprise.

"Wow!"

Wen Ziyu had never seen a tortoise shell before. Seeing that he was interested, Li Yang was about to pass the tortoise shell over for him to touch, when he heard him say:

"Where is the little wild boar! Have you gone hunting?"

Li Yang: "..."

Gu Lanyi covered her belly and laughed non-stop for a moment, and the tortoise shell buried her head in a self-closing manner, trying to circle her body with her tail, but because of her wide body and fat body, she could only circle half of it.

Li Yang: "Mr., this is a cat. It is called a tortoiseshell."

"Oh, I'm sorry, is it sick, why is it so fat?"

Wen Ziyu quickly changed his words, and touched the chubby tortoiseshell body apologetically, with worried eyes.

The smile that Gu Lanyi had just suppressed was aroused by him again, "Hahaha, no more, Xiao Yu, please stop talking, the tortoise shell is not sick, she is just fat."

Wen Ziyu: "Ah."

He stuck out his tongue, retracted his hand embarrassingly, after thinking for a while, he lowered his head and said to the tortoise shell, "Sorry, I didn't mean to say you are fat, but, um, you are quite healthy."

The tortoise shell once again enclosed itself in its weak and helpless body with a little bit of a big body, and had the greatest kindness towards this stupid human being. It is a noble cat and does not have the same knowledge as human beings.

Gu Lanyi laughed and pulled Wen Ziyu to the back of the counter, lest he be caught by the tortoise shell's claws if he continued speaking.

She took out the account book from the drawer, called Li Yang, and asked him about the Donglai Saltworks.

Li Yang quickly put the tortoise shell down, and went to report Donglai affairs to her.

When she arrived in Donglai, she found that as Gu Lanyi guessed, ordinary people could not live by farming alone. The local big landlords had a lot of land, and they made a lot of money by renting the land to farmers.

As soon as she passed by, she took the money given by Gu Lanyi and bought a few pieces of land near the sea from the landlord.

The harvest of the land near the sea was bleak, the farmers were unwilling to rent it, and the landlords were too lazy to plant it, so when Li Yang said he wanted to buy it, the landowners in Donglai quickly agreed, and at a very low price. .

After receiving the land, she went to the farmer and promised to hire a few people to renovate the land at the price of one tael of silver per month, import seawater into it and start drying the salt.

At first the local landlords didn't take her seriously, they just regarded her as a self-righteous outsider who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. When Li Yang had dried two or three batches of salt and shipped them back to the capital, the local landlords discovered the business opportunity.

But it was too late, and all the high-quality salt fields near the sea were bought by Li Yang at a low price. She first sold a batch of salt nearby, and then hired a large number of people to work after paying back the money in an instant. The number of field workers in the village is very considerable, and Li Yang raised the wages of the field workers after the saltworks began to benefit. The local people have already regarded the saltworks as their life-saving straw, and the landlords dare not act rashly.

Therefore, the Shuofang Salt Field grew bigger and bigger. Li Yang chose a smart and capable helper in the local area to guard it temporarily, and returned to Beijing with the first batch of salt shipped to the capital.

"Yes, you did a great job."

Gu Lanyi flipped through the ledger in a good mood, and felt that picking up Li Yanghe and opening the saltworks was the wisest decision he had ever made.

Recalling that this idea was first proposed by Wen Ziyu, she was about to call Wen Ziyu over to share the joy of getting out of poverty, when she suddenly found that there was no one in the shop, only a fat big cat lazily shaking on the cabinet Tail.

"Xiaoyu? Where's the person?"

She stood up abruptly, and searched inside and out with Li Yang for several times but found no one.

The street outside the shop was still noisy, the wind blowing from the south made the bells under the eaves in front of the door jingle.

Wen Ziyu squinted his eyes to feel the refreshing breeze, took out a copper coin from his pocket and threw it to the aunt who was driving.

"Thank you, ma'am."

The aunt put the copper plate into her pocket, smiled kindly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, young master, but you came to this Nanyin Temple to seek marriage? This place is very spiritual. My child is here to seek marriage. In the end, Xu Give it to the scholar at the east end of the village."

Wen Ziyu smiled and shook his head, imitating her words: "No, I want to see Master Fanyin!"

The aunt was surprised and said: "Master Sanskrit does not see outsiders. The last time I saw anyone was the emperor's daughter whom I had seen for three years."
