I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 339 - 26: The Great Kyushu Migration and the Gu Clan’s Sage of Medicine
They are not mere vases.
The current endeavors of the Gu Clan are largely their doing, including the sorting and repairing of ancestral records, and even compiling biographies of the clan’s ancestors.
They have also left their mark on technological innovations.
Compared to the men—
these women have no grand ambitions of making eternal contributions, allowing them to immerse themselves more deeply in these trivial matters.
Especially in the field of medicine.
These women are at the forefront of their time.
It is they who continue to expand the influence of the Gu Clan throughout Julu.
At this moment, within the Gu Mansion.
Gu Bo was conducting a meeting with a group of Gu Clan descendants.
"Our elder brother ordered us to gather the people of Julu for migration, and judging by the time, if His Majesty agrees, the imperial edict will arrive soon."
"Time is pressing....."
"Our elder brother has not stated how to proceed, does anyone have any suggestions?"
Gu Bo glanced around at the people present, speaking leisurely.
This is also why Gu Yi wanted him to return to Julu, as Gu Bo is one of the few among the current generation of the Gu Clan who can remain patient and is willing to listen to advice.
The group discussed fervently.
The main focus was not on how to summon the people, but rather on how to assist them.
With the Gu Clan’s influence in Julu, summoning the people was not a difficult task.
The real concern for the Gu Clan was this point.
Everyone voiced their thoughts, some suggested providing material assistance or allowing their children to enter the Gu Clan school.
But still, no one mentioned the key issue—how to reduce casualties along the journey.
Gu Bo’s brow furrowed.
This was a problem he had to consider, after all, these people were the foundation of the Gu Clan.
"Brother."
At this time, a gentle voice rang out: "If possible, I wish to accompany the people to Lingnan."
Upon hearing this, almost everyone present immediately turned to look at Gu Ling, followed by frowns.
"Sister, what is this...."
Gu Bo instinctively wanted to shake his head. It was indeed necessary to have Gu Clan descendants accompany the trip, but how could he allow a woman to go?
"Brother." Gu Ling’s expression was firm as she slowly stood up and cupped her hands toward Gu Bo: "Since our elder brother went to Lingnan years ago, I have been immersing myself in how to avoid miasma."
"Over the years, I have read all the medical books, seeking various methods."
"I have made progress."
"I lament that I have never been able to apply my medical skills, and now this matter concerns the millennia-old enterprise of our Gu Clan, and more importantly, the Great Han and the world."
"There will certainly be physicians accompanying this journey... how can I not go?"
Years of immersion in medicine had imbued Gu Ling with an extraordinary aura.
She stated her reasons with clear logic.
Everyone was fixated on her, their expressions growing more complex.
Gu Bo was the same.
He certainly understood that what Gu Ling said was reasonable.
Gu Ling did not have any superfluous words; after speaking, she took out the medical prescriptions she had prepared long ago.
They were plans she had developed over the years based on various sources.
The room fell into a silent stillness.
The expressions of the crowd were filled with hesitation, although they all agreed with Gu Ling’s idea, they still could not make a definitive decision.
This also showed their lack of capability.
Gu Ling naturally understood the thoughts of these family members, and in the end, she simply looked at Gu Bo and said earnestly: "The Gu Clan is not just the Gu Clan of the men."
"These were the words of our ancestors."
With such a simple phrase, she fully conveyed her determination.
She had even thought about mobilizing the clan’s medicines, as well as those that the court could provide.
No one spoke.
But their silent attitude still represented their decision.
Finally—
With the arrival of Liu Chen’s imperial decree in Julu, a tremor arose once more after centuries of calm.
—Migration to Lingnan!
This news would certainly cause a stir anywhere.
Although the news of Gu Ye’s expedition to Lingnan is no longer a secret in the Great Han now.
But what difference does it make?
How can this alone change the perception of Lingnan in the minds of the people?
At least for now, in the eyes of many, Lingnan is a place of exile.
Such a large-scale migration.
Could even directly lead to large-scale unrest.
But this is Julu!
The Gu Clan, having taken root and bestowed favors for hundreds of years, had already turned all this into faith over generations.
In his letters, Gu Yi listed all the potential benefits that could be brought.
And Gu Bo did not keep it under wraps.
He informed the people of Julu, letting them choose for themselves.
If someone else had said these words, it would surely cause suspicion.
But the Gu Clan is different.
Needless to say in Julu, even upon hearing these things, some people in other prefectures had thoughts of going there.
An unprecedented migration appeared on the land of the Great Han.
The Gu Clan could not manage so many people, they could only focus their efforts in Julu.
Out of trust in the Gu Clan.
The people of Julu erupted with unprecedented enthusiasm, almost every household except those with a single child willing to send their descendants.
Gu Bo had people record the name of each and every one of them.
This migration certainly could not be accomplished in one fell swoop.
He could only choose the physically strong ones to go first.
And Gu Ling was among them.
The entire Great Han was set in motion, radiating from Luoyang and Julu to all directions.
And Zhang Hua’s strategy took effect after this event.
