"I'm really hungry, let's go back." Li Er put down the chess piece in his hand and stood up and asked again: "How did Fan Jian answer you?"

"What he meant was that whether or not this roster should be handed over depends on Gu Qing's intentions, and he can't make the decision to avoid the old slave's questioning." Wang Qin said.

Li Er stopped for a while and then started to walk again, "If Gu Qing wanted to hand it over to Chu Suiliang, he would have handed it to Chu Suiliang, otherwise he would not have hidden until now, this kid is getting more and more stable now, but he is not like before. "

Wang Qin smiled and stopped talking about starting

Back in his own house, Li Er looked at the food brought by Empress Changsun and said, "Recently, that kid Li Xiang has been doing business with Gu Qing and his son, and his schoolwork has been delayed."

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "You asked Xiang'er to follow Gu Qing back then, but you didn't ask him to study hard in the academy."

Li Er ate his meal and said: "Xiang'er needs to know what he should know. If he wants to be an emperor in the future, he needs to know things differently from others."

"So Erlang intends to let Gu Qing teach Xiang'er those things?" Empress Changsun said with a smile, "You also know what kind of person Gu Qing is, and I'm afraid that if you don't learn what you should learn, you will also learn to be lazy by then."

"The good fortune of the children will follow the children." Li Er said while eating the sweet and sour pork ribs: "This tastes good."

"It's my concubine's cooking skills taught by Wu Mei." Empress Changsun brought a bowl of soup, "Sun Simiao said that Erlang should eat less meat and more vegetarian food."

"I understand." Li Er nodded and ate sweet and sour pork ribs vigorously.

While Li Er was eating, Empress Changsun looked at the night outside, and sometimes thought that the life here was much better than in the palace, so the daily necessities, rice, oil and salt were not comparable to the fine clothes and fine food in the palace.

Gu Qing sat at home and finished his meal, sitting at home drinking tea as usual, Fan Jian handed over a letter and said: "Patriarch, an urgent letter from Songtsan Gampo."

After receiving the letter, Gu Qing opened it and looked at the contents of the letter. He glanced at Songtsan Gampo’s Central Plains characters, which had improved greatly. It said Songtsan Gampo’s worries and various changes in the West today. Rome has been confronting Dashi for a long time. Now Songtsan Gampo is right to be worried. Once Rome joins forces with Dashi, Persia and Tianzhu are not rivals at all. Once Persia falls, it will be a matter of time before Tubo is lost.

Putting away the letter, Gu Qing asked Fan Jian, "Where is the person who delivered the letter?"

"It has been taken care of and is eating outside. The man said that he has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights in a hurry to deliver the letter."

"Has this letter been read by the palace?" Gu Qing continued to ask.

"The messenger said that Songtsan Gampo was for Lord Gu, and didn't mention the palace." Fan Jian replied.

"Songtsan Gampo really trusts me." Gu Qing felt pressured with confidence, took out a piece of silver cake and handed it to Fan Jian, "Give this to the messenger, let Zhang Yugong arrange a place for him to rest, let him take care of himself." Get some sleep."

"Yes." Fan Jian nodded.

"What's wrong?" Gao Yang stepped forward and asked.

"Songtsan Gampo has delivered a letter." Gu Qing looked at the contents of the letter and said, "Gao Yang, look at Songtsan Gampo's Zhongyuan characters, they are more neatly written than mine."

"You still have the face to say it." Gao Yang scolded with a smile.

"What's the matter, Tubo is in a hurry again?" Li Zhi came up and said.

"Yes." Gu Qing nodded and said, "Now Tubo is like an ant on a hot pot, so hurry up."

"Then why don't you hurry up and ask the factory to hand over those engines. When you want to keep them, Zhang Jie and I have already discussed how to assemble this engine." Li Zhi continued: "With this engine, our Sea ships can then set off from Tianzhu to attack the west.”

"His Royal Highness King Jin is still in a hurry." Gu Qing said putting the letter aside.

"Why am I in such a hurry, this is a major matter for the military and the country. Once Tubo falls, it will be no small matter for Datang." Li Zhi said anxiously.

Gu Qing looked at Li Zhi and said: "Then I will ask His Royal Highness King Jin if the court knows about this situation."

"Then you must know that the Great Tang has the Protectorate in Tubo, and there are so many officials from the Great Tang in Tubo, the court must also know the current situation." Li Zhi cut off his words at this point, and immediately understood what he said, whispering Asked: "Gu Qing, why did the court take so long to move, and instead went to make trouble in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"In fact, it is for the maximization of benefits." Gu Qing said to Li Zhi: "If Datang sends troops now to help Persia and Tianzhu repel Dashi and Rome together, who will benefit in the end?"

"Yes……"

"It's Tianzhu and Persia." Gu Qing said: "After defeating Rome, Tianzhu and Persia still have to eat and drink on the trade route, and don't care if anyone calls, anyway, when someone calls in, everyone Don will come to help."

"Persia has already bowed its head to the Tang Dynasty. Didn't you make it happen? Isn't it right for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help its vassal states?" Li Zhiyou said.

"Then I would like to ask His Royal Highness the King of Jin, if the Great Tang sent out people, money and efforts, what did the Great Tang get in the end, and is there any benefit?" Gu Qing patiently said to Li Zhi, "The court will definitely not want to lose Tubo, Now that the Western Expedition is also being prepared, the reason why the delay in sending troops is also for profit, the people in the court and the central government knew it clearly, and never thought of asking Tianzhu, Persia, and Tubo to preside over the trade route together."

"I understand!" Li Zhi nodded heavily, "As long as Persia is not destroyed, Tang Dynasty will not send troops, right? In fact, those guys in Chaozhong have long regarded Persia and Tianzhu as an eyesore."

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin is not too stupid."

Seeing Gu Qing's expression, Li Zhi smiled wryly and said, "Gu Qing, what does that gratified expression on your face mean?"

"His Royal Highness King Jin is humble." Gu Qing said with a smile.

"Gu Qing, you're teasing me again!" Li Zhi scolded.

"Brother Huang, it's okay, Gu Qing is this kind of virtue." Xiao Sizi said while eating a green fruit.

Songtsan Gampo came to write a letter, so he naturally had to reply. Li Zhi, who was muttering behind him, went back to his study and began to write a reply. Regardless of whether Rome will come over or not, Datang's strategy for the entire West has been decided, and there is no way to change one of them. Even if Rome does not come over, Datang has long coveted Tianzhu and Persia, and will not let them be at peace. .

After writing these words, Gu Qing crumpled the finished writing and threw it aside. There is no need to tell Songtsan Gampo about these things. Maybe he has already guessed most of them. The tribe can retreat to the Hexi Corridor, and the Tang Dynasty will immediately send troops to fight back. Tubo will become the Tang Dynasty's garrison, and there will be a very long war.

After writing this, I felt a little regretful. After thinking for a long time, I took out a piece of white paper that hadn't written anything on it, wrapped the letter, put sealing wax on it, and stamped my seal on it.

"Fan Jian!"

Fan Jian heard walking to the door, "What is the owner's order?"

"This is a reply letter to Songtsan Gampo. Give it to the person who sent the letter so that he can send it back to Tibet after he has a rest. Don't send it in a hurry." Gu Qing said.

"Understood, let's make arrangements now." Fan Jian bowed and accepted the letter.

In the Gu family's accountant, Gu Xiao stood beside Wu Mei and asked, "Mother, how much did I earn?"

After finishing the calculation, Wu Mei said, "You are at a loss!"

"Where did I lose?" Gu Xiao looked at the bill and said, "Isn't there a surplus of three thousand in this account?"

Wu Mei gave Gu Xiao a shudder, "Don't think that mother doesn't know how many people you have deployed outside. The business has to be done step by step. Let's not talk about how much you can earn in the next three months from this business. It depends on you." Can you afford the current manpower? Do you know that the pace is too big?"

"Really?" Gu Xiao held the bill and said, "Anyway, I made money."

Wu Mei sighed and said: "Boy, within three months you will definitely lose money. The three thousand pennies are not enough for you."

"Mother, please be clearer." Gu Xiao asked.

"Before the business is done, I want to make the scene bigger. If you slap your face swollen and pretend to be fat, you are still selling at a loss. If you are too fast, you have to pay it off."

"I also ask mother to give pointers." Gu Xiao smiled and brought a bowl of pastries.
