"Why are you here?" Li Tai was no stranger to Gu Xiao, a brat, and it was almost common for this guy to skip class.

"I'm here to provide His Royal Highness King Jin with a good plan." Gu Xiao said with a smile.

Li Tai glanced at Gu Xiao, "You'd better go to class, be careful and I'll tell your father."

"Let's talk about it and listen to it." Li Zhi said.

Gu Xiao sat down very politely and took Li Tai's tea eggs while peeling the egg shells and said, "Academics can actually implement a trial period model, which has already been implemented in factories. It was first proposed by my mother. After that, it will be used in the court. Most of the new workers in the factory will have a probationary period for a period of time. The probationary period is paid, but the elimination system and selection are still implemented. I think the academy can cooperate with the Maritime Trade Department. ".

"The Department of Maritime Trade can provide a job position, and the academy can provide a place for students to work. They kill two birds with one stone. Many students either go to the factory or go to their hometown after their studies are successful, or stay in the academy to wait for the imperial examination in two years. Not all students find a good job after their studies, and not all students have confidence in the imperial examination two years later. Didn’t my father say that being an official is the only chance to get ahead from time to time? The Department of Maritime Trade can give it to you. This opportunity."

After Gu Xiao finished speaking, Li Tai fell into deep thought. It sounds like this strategy is very useful. On the one hand, it can give students more choices, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the pressure of too many students in the academy. The more you think about it, the better.

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

"How is it?" Gu Xiao looked at Li Zhi and Li Tai proudly.

"You can give it a try." Li Zhi said.

Li Tai still hesitated, "I want to discuss this matter with Master Kong Yingda, but it shouldn't be a big problem, but the students still have to make their own choices, and we can't put pressure on the students."

"That's natural." Li Zhi nodded.

"How about my attention is not bad." Gu Xiao said while eating tea eggs.

"It's not bad, can you draw inferences from one example?" Li Tai stroked Gu Xiao's head and messed up his hair.

"In that case, I'll go back to the Maritime Trade Department and wait for news from Brother Huang." Li Zhi stood up and said.

"Leave it to me." Li Tai also nodded.

Seeing that Li Zhi was about to leave, Gu Xiao hurriedly followed Li Zhi's footsteps all the way.

Li Zhi saw Gu Xiao walking beside him and asked, "Why are you following me?"

"Uncle Jin, what do you think the sea looks like?" Gu Xiao asked in a low voice.

"I haven't seen it either, but I heard it from the people who went to the sea." Li Zhi said with a smile, "Why do you want to see the sea?"

Gu Xiao lifted his chin and turned his head and said, "I'm not going. I don't know the place where I live. What if I am sold by someone? If I am sold, who will inherit my father's inheritance."

Hearing this, Li Zhi was full of black lines. Why did it come out of Gu Xiao's mouth so naturally? After thinking about it carefully, he said, "But you are Gu Qing's son, and no one in the Central Plains dares to provoke you."

Gu Xiao rolled his eyes and looked at Li Zhi and said, "Uncle Jin, there is something I want to ask you."

"Ask." Li Zhi nodded.

"When you entered the Maritime Trade Department, I remember that my father gave you a large sum of money. Where is the money now?" Gu Xiao asked.

"What, you kid is planning to go back?" Li Zhi smiled.

"How dare you." Gu Xiao said lazily, "My mother said that the money was the money of the Maritime Trade Department. Back then, many members of the state government were also in the money, just thinking about the amount of the money. How big is it?"

Li Zhi seemed to understand what Gu Xiao was going to say, and glanced at the sky, "It's getting early, I'll go back first, you go to class quickly."

"Uncle Jin, how much did my father give you?" Li Zhi asked.

"Ask your father." Li Zhi left such a sentence and walked further and further.

Gu Xiao stood there angrily, and left before he finished speaking. Why is this Uncle Jin Wang so vigilant? Has he already discovered my plan, thinking to himself.

Li Zhi also went to Gu's house. Gu Xiao's words were heard in his ears, but his heart was very clear. This kid has the same virtues as Gu Qing. Living in Gu Qing's house, he can be regarded as watching Gu Xiao grow up. There is no difference between him and his own brother, but it is better not to be too entangled in the design of money, so as to avoid more twists and turns. This kid has recently lost his temper with his father.

Without knowing it, he walked to the door of Gu's house, and outside the courtyard, he could see Gu Qing sitting in the courtyard, covering his face with a fan, sleeping with his head up in the sun.

Sitting beside Gu Qing, Li Zhi also basked in the sun.

"Why are you here when you're not busy at the Maritime Trade Department?" Gu Qing took off the fan covering his face and asked Li Zhi.

"I was very busy at first, but I thought I would be too busy, so I thought of asking my brother for help." Li Zhi said, "Now the Department of Maritime Trade is very busy, not to mention the letters from all over the world. Every port has its own problems. The waterways in the Central Plains are so long that I, a maritime trade department, can’t take care of them, and the journey is so long that it takes several days to convey them, which is too time-consuming and ineffective. I plan to set up subdivisions of the Maritime Trade Department in various places, and let the people of the Maritime Trade Department be dispatched to deal with the problems of each place according to the situation of each place, so it will be much smoother."

Gu Qing fell into silence.

Li Zhi said again, "Gu Qing, what do you think of my idea? Isn't it very smart?"

"It's not stupid to think of it now." Gu Qing picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea. "It should have been done a long time ago. What do you think I asked those Jiangnan merchants to build waterways? You might as well go and see what I did back then. Are there some dots and circles on the designed waterway drawings?"

"You wanted to do this a long time ago?" Li Zhi said in surprise.

"That's natural." Gu Qing nodded.

"Then why haven't you said it?" Li Zhi raised his tone a little.

"I thought that someone as smart as His Royal Highness Jin would realize that he didn't need my advice, and His Royal Highness was able to take over so many civilian husbands from my port, which is enough to show His Royal Highness Jin's ambition. His Royal Highness, King Jin, carry it forward." Gu Qing raised his glass and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Why do I feel like you're scolding me." Li Zhi's mouth twitched vigorously.

"Is there?" Gu Qing took a sip of the tea.

"No?" Li Zhi asked back, "Gu Qing knew he was going to do this, but he didn't say it! Did you plan to use this to bully me from the beginning! Are you unhappy if you don't tease me?"

"It's much happier now." Gu Qing suppressed a smile, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

Li Zhi had blue veins popping out of his forehead, and asked, "Is it too late for me to set things right now?"

Waving his hand to interrupt Li Zhi's words, Gu Qing covered his stomach and said, "I really can't help it, His Royal Highness King Jin will let me laugh for a while."

"You!" Li Zhi pointed at Gu Qing, trembling with anger.

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Mei came with some snacks and handed them to Li Zhi, "Taste the freshly made cake."

"Yeah." Li Zhi took the cake and watched Gu Qing bite the cake fiercely in his mouth.

"Stop laughing too." Wu Mei said to Gu Qing, "At the beginning you said that the King of Jin would find out such a problem, but you just wanted to wait for the King of Jin to find out by himself, now that he finds out, you still have to make fun of him. "

"Okay, okay, stop laughing." Gu Qing suppressed his smile and said to Li Zhi, "If you establish a branch of the Maritime Trade Department, you must be prepared to conflict with the government. The Maritime Trade Department has a lot of power and the power of the government. The conflict, of course, cannot be seen in Chang'an, but it will be seen in various places. The most important thing is the taxation of sea trade. Nowadays, the tax of sea trade is directly handed over to the court, but merchants in various places have their own Many ports are managed by government officials nowadays, so it would be bad for the Maritime Trade Department to intervene rashly."

When Gu Qing said this, Li Zhi woke up with a start, "Then what should we do?".

"Anyone who wants to stop the Maritime Trade Department will interrupt their dog legs.

Gu Qing said it plainly, Li Zhi murmured in his heart, why did it come out of Gu Qing's mouth so lightly, breaking the government's dog legs?The Department of Maritime Trade is going to rebel." He said unconsciously, "Gu Qing, you must be sick. "

Chapter One Thousand and Thirteen: Gu Xiao's Way to Get Rich

Li Zhi got up and let out a long sigh. Gu Qing still has such stinky virtues and has never changed. "I won't come back for dinner tonight. There are many things in the Maritime Trade Department."

Wu Mei sat on the side arranging the teacups, Gu Qing said in a low voice after watching Li Zhi leave, "Prepare some more meals for the evening, and ask the servants at home to deliver them to the Maritime Trade Department."
