A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Page 769

Speaking here, Gu Qing took a deep breath, "This is what I know, and it was also told by the old man on Mangshan Mountain. There is a memory in my mind that still makes me feel a little creepy when I think about it. It was the ninth year of Zhenguan, and I was just a middle-aged man. General Lang, once I took my disciple Di Renjie home on an errand, and on the way home, I met an old man, he was skinny, his body temperature was cold, he looked like a dead man, he gave me a bird and told me that he had a disciple."

Chapter One Thousand and Sixteen

Gu Qing continued, "Afterwards, this old man was never found again, as if he had disappeared from the world. Many years later, I went to the Guanlong area because of the Guanlong incident. I met an old man there, and he gave me A stone tablet and a story, the story is the story I am telling now, the disciples of the senior brother are those people I met, Yuan Gang, who is dead or not until now, lost track, the mysterious Chen Guanzhu, and some People, I don’t want to mention it.”

Tang Xuanzang was silent.

Gu Qing continued, "I will not look for the so-called longevity. I also believe that people can have longevity but not longevity."

Tang Xuanzang asked again after listening, "Gu Qing, where are you from?"

"Many people ask me that." Gu Qing smiled wryly, "Is this important?"

"Your master is Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao has superb medical skills all his life, but you know what he doesn't." Tang Xuanzang stared at Gu Qing and said.

"Okay." Hearing this, Bu Chi interrupted the conversation between the two, "Benefactor Gu, you should go."

Gu Qing stood up and left without further ado. Tang Xuanzang sat there with a confused look in his eyes.

Buchi got up and patted Tang Xuanzang on the shoulder and said, "Everyone has their own secrets that they don't want to utter. As long as there is water and soil, there will be grass. Gu Qing is different from you and me. I understand what Tang Xuanzang you think, but Just like the story of Gu Qingde, if you spend your whole life trying to know an impossible answer, it will be in vain in the end, as long as Gu Qing doesn’t, you will never know Gu Qing’s secret in this life, why bother.”

Tang Xuanzang closed his eyes and sat still.

Looking at Tang Xuanzang's actions, Buchi nodded and left the room. Outside the room, Buchi said to the monk beside him, "During this time, no one should bother him except the daily food delivery."

The monk Rutou on the side.

Gu Qing walked out of Daning Temple with mixed emotions in his heart. Seeing Gu Qing coming out, Fan Jian smiled and said, "Patriarch, are you going home?"

"Go home." Gu Qing withdrew his mind.

"The scenery here is really nice." Fan Jian said again.

Gu Qing smiled slightly and quickened his pace to leave Daning Temple. Some encounters are just encounters, so it's better to treat them as a memory of oneself, and it's okay to have experienced it.

It was already dusk when I got home, I had a meal and said a few words to Gu Xiao, and the next days were Gu Qing's ordinary and leisurely days, until the fleet was coming back after five days.

Gu Qing ordered Fan Jian, "The goods made by our branch factory will come to our door to count them when the time comes, and after they are counted, they will be put into the warehouse and factory, and the ships carrying our factory goods will be unloaded one step ahead of time. Don't let Chang'an's Those old guys found our treasure."

"Understood." Fan Jian nodded vigorously.

Cheng Mansion, Cheng Yaojin is listening to the news at home, "The fleet is finally coming back."

Hearing the news, Cheng Chumo also knew that the family had another big income.

Rubbing his beard, Cheng Yaojin thought about it, "Gu Qing opened a factory in the country of Japan, and it is said that a lot of goods are produced in the country of Japan, I have to discuss it with the old Niu next door."

Chang'an, the home of Li Xiaogong, king of Hejian County, Li Xiaogong also received the news that the fleet was coming back. Hearing this, he thought about it several times, "Go, call that old man Cheng Yaojin."

The servants of Prince Hejian went to work immediately.

Sitting at home, Li Ran also heard the news that the fleet was coming back.The maid on the side said: "Many people in Chang'an have gone to the port to inquire. Should we also send someone to check?"

"No need." Li Ran smiled confidently, "The first time the sea trade came back caused a lot of sensation, this time it must be inevitable, Gu Qing opened a branch factory in Japan, this time many people must want to see that it is Gu Qing Gu Qing is a smart guy, so we probably won’t let us see too much of what is produced by the branch factory.”

Li Ran continued, "No need to go, let's just sit at home."

The maid nodded and poured Li Ran tea.

Li Chengqian also knew the news of the ship's return, and he didn't feel too much trouble in his heart. The royal sea trade is still in the hands of his father. He only knows that since two years ago, there will be a lot of silver mines every month. Entering the royal treasury, the royal family has a share of this cake from the Wa country, but the route is different from that of Gu Qing's fleet.

On the second day, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda arrived at the port early, but were stopped by Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu of the Maritime Trade Department.

"His Royal Highness Jin Wang has an order, and I invite you two to wait at the Maritime Trade Department." Xu Jingzong spoke.

"What do you mean!" Cheng Yaojin said, "I can't see the goods of our Cheng family, can I?"

"No." Li Yifu smiled apologetically, "It's just that His Royal Highness King Jin has ordered that all sea trade goods in the future must be transferred through the Maritime Trade Department. And it’s convenient and worry-free for everyone to sit down and share the accounts together.”

"I want to see what His Royal Highness King Jin is up to," Niu Jinda said.

The goods piled up at the door of Gu’s house, and many goods were transported over. Fan Jian confessed to Gu Qing, “According to the owner’s order, these goods were taken down in advance. Seen by too many people."

Wu Mei was counting and saw Gu Qing come back and asked, "Where are these black rubbers going to be placed?"

Gu Qing looked at these things, and the package was the tightest. After reading the glass, there were horse-drawn carriages coming to deliver these goods in batches. He said to Fan Jian, "You send these rubber and glass to the factory. Zhang Jie and the others know How to use it."

"Let's arrange manpower now." Fan Jian nodded.

"People from the Cheng family and the Niu family have come to reconcile the accounts." Wu Mei said holding the account book, "We have to receive all the things we have in the Japanese branch factory. The Niu family of the Cheng family and the king of Hejian County all They all started to divide accounts in the Maritime Trade Department, and the Maritime Trade Department must be very busy now."

"Maybe." Gu Qing was very happy when he looked at the cars of glass and rubber.

Gu Qing took some perfumes in the box on the side. These perfumes were made in the Japanese country. After a careful sniff, they are not bad, and there are some different fragrances.

Xue Ji hurried over and greeted, "Master Gu!"

Looking at Xue Ji who was running all the way to the future, Gu Qing greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, let's sit down and drink some water."

After receiving the water from Fan Jian, Xue Ji poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth, calmed his breath and said, "Your Gu family have already received all the goods at Luoshui Port, the Niu family, the Cheng family and several old princes The members of the family are all sharing accounts in the Maritime Trade Department, and this time the Gu family has a lot of goods, so I think I have to come and explain it."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Gu Qing smelled the perfume and asked, "Are there only these kinds of smells?"

"There are not many local flowers in Japan." Xue Ji took out another box, which was tightly wrapped with black oil-skinned paper, "I think it should be spring when I return to the Central Plains, and there must be a lot of flowers in the Central Plains by then." Flowers, so I thought about refining the wine and bringing it over."

Gu Qing opened the box, took out a bottle, smelled it carefully, and tasted a small sip of alcohol with a high concentration, "How did you come up with this idea?"

"I also heard from the people in the factory about the method of making perfume." Xue Ji said with a smile, "I have come into contact with the people in the factory when they were making perfume in Japan. The secret recipe of perfume is actually simple, and the most important core is this. High-concentration spirits, for these things, there is no shortage of food for the Japanese country."

Gu Qing smiled and nodded, unexpectedly Xue Ji was quite flexible in his work.

"After coming back this time, His Royal Highness King Jin will definitely reward you well." Gu Qing said to him.

"Right now King Jin has no other orders for me. He just asked me to visit my family and recuperate for a while after I come back. After all, I have been away for more than half a year." Xue Ji said, "Actually, I can get to know Jin. His Royal Highness is still taking advantage of Lord Gu."

"How do you say that?" Gu Qing asked suspiciously.

"I have a fellow villager named Xue Rengui, and Xue Rengui is a disciple of Marquis Gu." Xue Ji said, "After thinking about this matter, go back and meet him. Is he okay now?"

Only then did Gu Qing suddenly realize, "It's still the same, but now the war in the west is tense and wars will start at any time."

"It seems that I'm going to meet him." Xue Ji looked worriedly in the direction of Chang'an.

"But don't worry, with his current position, he doesn't need to charge forward." Gu Qing said to Xue Ji, "Come on, let's go in and have a chat."

"it is good."
