"Mother's queen!" Li Xiang threw himself into his mother's arms, "Why didn't the mother tell the child when she came back?"

Su knelt down and looked at her young son, "Actually, mother has been watching you."

Li Xiang sucked his nose and held back his tears, "Does the queen mother want to go back?"

"Whenever Xiang'er wants to go back, the queen mother will also go back. If Xiang'er doesn't want to go back, the queen mother will not go back either." Su said in a low voice.

"Yeah!" Li Xiang nodded vigorously to wipe away his tears, seeing his mother's empress dressed in luxurious clothes in the palace, but now she is so simple, thinking about all kinds of things in the harem, he felt more and more wronged.

"Okay, don't cry." Su said to Li Xiang, "My mother is doing well now, you can come to see me anytime, what my mother hopes most now is that you can study hard in the academy and learn more skills from Gu Qing's side , look at your uncle Li Zhi who has been with Gu Qing for so many years, and is now at the helm of the Maritime Trade Department, look at Gu Qing’s disciple Di Renjie, who is now the Minister of Dali Temple, look at your uncle Wei Wang Li Tai, they all passed Very well."

"The teacher is very good to Hai'er, and Haier and Gu Xiao have become good brothers." Li Xiang said to Su Shi, "Hail must study hard by Gu Qing's side, and won't let mother down."

"Hurry up and go back to class. You can come whenever you want to see your mother." Su Shi stood up and said, "Go."

Li Xiang stood there for a long time before leaving.

In the quiet courtyard, Empress Changsun walked out from the side and said to Su Shi, "It's not easy."

"It's all for the sake of the child, nothing is difficult." Su Shi said with a salute, "I have a request, I hope the queen mother can agree."

Empress Changsun supported her, "Speak."

Su Shi nodded and said, "The concubine wants to accompany Princess Changle, but Xiang'er can't stay with her mother all the time when she grows up. I just want to see him every once in a while."

"Why is this so? If you want to see the child, no one will stop you in the village." Empress Changsun saw Su's silence and said, "Well, just do as you want, you are suitable to be a child. Mother, your child is everything to you."

"After entering the royal family, after the death of my father, my concubine has only children." Su whispered.

Empress Changsun understands Su's feelings very well. She is also a mother. No one wants her child to be successful in the future. Su can walk out of the palace with all her heart, disregarding her child's position as the crown prince, and only hopes that her child will be able to do well in the future. It's just that he has the ability to get close. Su knew that the imperial palace was a cradle. If Li Xiang lived in the imperial palace all the time, he would probably become a child who couldn't grow up.

The imperial palace was too comfortable and dark for Li Xiang. On the contrary, Li Xiang could gain more in the village than in the imperial palace. Thinking of this, Empress Changsun also understood Li Er's painstaking efforts. From the perspective of Li Chengqian's growth process, The biggest difference between Li Chengqian and Gu Qing is that as the crown prince, Li Chengqian received too much admiration in the palace, and suffered too few setbacks.

In Li Chengqian's eyes, he felt that he was the emperor and everyone in the world should listen to him. Too bad.

Gu Qing came to Chang'an from a very poor age, and Li Chengqian seemed to have everything since he was born.

After Li Xiang returned to the academy, he saw that Gu Xiao was greeting a large group of students. It seemed that he was preparing his big money-making plan. Anyway, it was already time to go home. Why don't we see how Gu Xiao is going to make money.

Gu Xiao stood on the rockery and looked at more than a dozen students, Fang Chengxian also stood aside sweating profusely, seeing more and more people, if you don't hurry up, you might provoke your teacher.

"I know that you are all people with lofty ideals, and you study hard here." Gu Xiao pretended to be an adult and pointed to the wooden box beside him and said, "There is a box here, and there are notes in the box. It says winning the lottery, and you can come to me tomorrow to get a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones! Only one penny per person."

One penny per person is not expensive. Ordinary students don’t have to worry about food and clothing in the academy. They can also earn some money by doing odd jobs in the academy. It’s not expensive to think about it.

"What if you renege on your debt!" Someone said immediately.

"How could I renege on my debts?" Gu Xiao continued, pointing to Fang Chengxian who was beside him, "Do you know who this brother is? He is the eldest son of Fang Yizhi, the director of the current academy. If you don't trust me, why don't you trust me?" Don't believe him?"

A group of people still hesitated.

"If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple, right!" Gu Xiao said again.

Fang Chengxian's head was full of black lines. This kid hid his identity in the academy, but moved himself out. I really want to say that Gu Xiao is Gu Qing's son right now!

Everyone still hesitated, Li Linfu stepped forward and took out a penny and said, "Let me try."

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Li Linfu. Li Linfu put his hand into the wooden box after asking for money, and then took out a note and opened it to see that there was no word, "Sure enough, I didn't win the prize."

A group of students sighed again.

"I'll do it!" Yang Zhao stepped forward to pay a penny and said, "I'll try."

Everyone looked at it again, only to see that Yang Zhao, like Li Linfu, took a note after paying the money, which said the word "winning!"

"Congratulations." Gu Xiao said, "Come to me tomorrow morning to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Don't worry, it's a good deal."

"Thank you very much." Yang Zhao cupped his hands repeatedly.

If there is one, there are two, there are three. Gu Xiao’s lottery business immediately went smoothly. He earned a total of more than 30 coins in one lottery draw. From the beginning to the end on the balcony, seeing Gu Xiao counting the money, Li Tai saw Gu Qing ten years ago in a daze. At that time, Gu Qing also had such a virtue of being complacent after earning money.

On the way home, Li Xiang couldn't help asking, "Brother Gu Xiao, why didn't Li Linfu win the lottery when he drew the lottery, but Yang Zhao won the lottery?"

Gu Xiao blushed and said hastily, "How do I know."

Thinking of this, Gu Xiao said to Zhang Yugong who was following him, "Uncle Zhang, go to Chang'an's pen shop and get seven sets of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. If you want money, just say that it will be my father's account."

"Understood." Zhang Yugong nodded numbly.

Li Xiang was still thinking, "Earning thirty Wen a day, seven sets of pens, inks, papers and inkstones should be a lot of money, right?"

"You don't understand that." Gu Xiao answered triumphantly, "I earned thirty coins today, and after the news spreads tomorrow, more people will come to draw a lottery. Now a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones in Chang'an costs five coins. You see, I am losing money now, right? But I have an extra thirty cash on hand, and with this thirty cash, I can use the money to do other business."

"Brother Gu Xiao is amazing." Li Xiang praised.

"Yeah." Gu Xiao nodded enjoyingly, already thinking about how to spend the thirty essays in his heart.

After returning home, after eating, Li Xiang went to the study to read next to Gu Qing, while Gu Qing wrote what he wanted to write.

"Teacher." Li Xiang raised his head and asked, "Why does the Academy always say that knowledge is very important?"

Gu Qing also retracted his spirit and said to Li Xiang, "Knowledge is actually left by our ancestors. Our ancestors have left knowledge from drilling wood to make fire. A lot of knowledge is achieved by the predecessors' practice time and time again, just like It was Shennong who tasted all kinds of herbs and passed them down to later generations to have various herbal medicines, we are just talking about the application and expansion of the knowledge handed down by our ancestors."

"What about technology, I heard a new word called technology in the academy today." Li Xiang asked.

"Technology is built on knowledge, and knowledge is the cornerstone. With this cornerstone is technology. The car that made a lot of noise a few days ago is the embodiment of technology. This word is a bit avant-garde. In the future, the academy will definitely create more. technology."

"Why are knowledge and technology so important?" Li Xiang asked again.

Gu Qing was also a little confused by the question, so he put down the pen in his hand and simply gave Li Xiang an answer.

Chapter One Thousand and Nine

Gu Qing thought about it for a while and said to Li Xiang, "Datang's current strength is largely due to technology. Let's just say that there are two levels of Datang with firearms and without firearms. Datang controls what other countries do not. With firearms, there is an overwhelming advantage, from the military wars at the beginning to the current Tang Dynasty using thermal weapons, the combat effectiveness is very different after having firearms."

"From the beginning of the woodenware to the ironware, this is a kind of transformation. For example, if a nail is missing, a shoe is lost; if a shoe is missing, a horse is lost; if a horse is missing, a rider is lost. A battle is lost without a rider, and a kingdom is lost without a victory."

Gu Qing spoke slowly, while Gu Xiao listened attentively.

"One country does not have iron nails, and another country has iron nails. The difference will be very large because of the iron nails. Of course, this is just an analogy. There is another effect of this argument back then, which is the chain effect. When you have If you acquire a power that others cannot grasp, you can destroy your opponent in an instant. This kind of power cannot be measured by common sense, just like you are fighting with a person. With the wood you hold the dagger."

"I understand a little bit." Li Xiang couldn't help nodding, "Now that the Tang Dynasty has firearms, how can the Tang Dynasty become stronger in the future?"
