"I heard that Pei Xingjian persuaded His Majesty this time to let you go." Li Yifu said in a low voice.

"Could it be..." Xu Jingzong thought about it, thinking that Shangguanyi and others were the students of the first academy's imperial examination, and among the latest officials in the Zhenguan dynasty, Pei Xingjian also came out of the academy, and so did Shangguanyi, and he felt a little bit Understood, he nodded and said, "Master Gu helped us after all."

"You mean that Pei Xingjian belongs to Lord Gu."

Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "Who knows."

"Let's go, let's meet Gu Houye together." Li Yifu said.

The two were walking side by side, a servant stopped them and said, "May I ask if you are Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu?"

"Who are you?" Li Yifu looked at the passerby in confusion.

The other party returned with a smile and said, "I'm a servant at Cheng's Tavern, are you two going to see Xiangguo?"

"You..." Xu Jingzong was surprised how the other party knew.

The servant smiled slightly and continued, "Don't take offense to the two of you. His Royal Highness Jin Wang already knew about the two of you just leaving the court. His Royal Highness Jin invited them to the Cheng family's tavern to clean up the dust for the two of you. Life is still long." , there is still a long way to go, please."

His Royal Highness King Jin?

Xu Jingzong became more and more puzzled, what would His Royal Highness King Jin want to see him for?Could it be that his being able to come out has something to do with His Royal Highness King Jin?

When he came to Cheng's tavern, Xu Jingzong watched the excitement in the tavern, followed the servant all the way to a quiet room on the second floor, opened the door and saw Li Zhi.

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Jin."

The two saluted together.

"You don't need to be too polite, please sit down." Li Zhi smiled and motioned the boy to close the door.

"His Royal Highness, this is..." Xu Jingzong asked.

Li Zhi poured wine into two empty wine glasses and said, "The two of you have been busy in the court these years. In fact, Master Gu knows that you two have done a lot for him. Things that are shameful, things that are worthy of people You have done a lot of things, and I have heard a lot from Gu Qing, and you will not be officials in the court anymore, but there are many opportunities to become famous. Now that Xue Ji is still in Japan, Shangguan Yi won't always be by my side to help me, Yan Liben couldn't get away on the East China Sea, and now I need someone to help me.

Chapter 673 Preparing to Return

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu glanced at each other, feeling that Li Zhi said so much at once which made them feel very awkward.

Seeing the uncertain expressions of the two, Li Zhi spoke again, "Actually, all of this was arranged by Gu Qing. I know it's a bit abrupt for you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Gu Qing, but after you ask Gu Qing, don't come looking for me." I'm gone, don't come to the Maritime Trade Department, you choose yourself."

Speaking of which, Xu Jingzong understands it here. In Li Zhi's eyes, he is Gu Qing's person. If he still listens to Gu Qing in everything, for Li Zhi, he might as well not go to the Maritime Trade Department. As long as he agrees to Li Zhi today, then I am about to break away from Gu Qing.

"Have you figured it out?" Li Zhi asked again.

Li Yifu also understood the meaning and asked, "Is there any conflict between His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Lord Gu?"

"There is no contradiction." Li Zhi said indifferently, "It's just that you are helping me in the Maritime Trade Department, not Gu Qing. Do you understand?"

Xu Jingzong held down Li Yifu, who was about to question him again, nodded and said, "We understand. We will come to the Maritime Trade Department tomorrow morning to do business."

Li Yifu was surprised to see Xu Jingzong sitting on him, he didn't expect Xu Jingzong to agree so quickly.

"That's good. I'll wait for you at the Department of Maritime Trade tomorrow morning, and I'll leave." Li Zhi stood up and said, "You must have not slept soundly for a long time. I have arranged rooms for you in the tavern, and I will give you all the money." It's already paid, you guys have a good rest day."

"Respectfully send off His Royal Highness King Jin." Xu Jingzong stood up and saluted.

Li Yifu still looked confused and asked Xu Jingzong in a low voice, "You agreed so soon?"

"There is nothing to promise, it would be better to have a way out." Xu Jingzong began to eat the food on the table.

"Then, Master Gu, do you want to explain it?"

Xu Jingzong waved his hands again and again, "No need, His Royal Highness Jin Wang has seen Pei Xingjian, and now he told us these meanings are very clear. We have no value to Gu Houye. Gu Houye's current status is too sensitive. If We continue to do things for Gu Houye, but it is not good for us, His Royal Highness Jin is thinking about us, and we should also think about ourselves, besides, I believe this is Gu Houye's arrangement."

Li Yifu lowered his head and thought about this conversation.

In Wa country, spring is coming and the southeast wind is coming, Xue Ji is arranging the return voyage this time.

"All those who want to return to the voyage stay in the port for half a month, and all sick people stay on the coast. Only when they are sick can they upload." Xue Ji ordered, "The cabin is a very closed space. If anyone has a cold, If you stay in the cabin, many people will be infected."

The folks who came to the port were willing to obey Xue Ji, that is to say, during this half month, everyone had to wait for half a month before boarding the ship and returning to the voyage. The iron rule is that anyone who is sick can't get on the ship.

"Pieces of glass are being loaded, and there are still a lot of perfume and ore, and all the things made and excavated from the country of Wa will be sent to Guanzhong."

Xue Ji looked at the rubber in his hand, "Is this what Master Gu wants to make?"

"It should be." The person who spoke was from the factory and he was also a student from the academy. He explained, "It was just a sample and formula given by Master Gu. There are too few raw materials in Japan, and we can only make more than 100. Shi, there are very few fig trees in the country of Wa, and I plan to take them back to see if they can be used, but this time I will not go back, I will not only watch the manufacture of rubber, but also plant more fig trees in the country of Wa.”

Xue Ji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you know how long you will have to wait if you don't go back this time?"

"I know." He nodded, "I was originally a vagrant, but Master Gu gave me a chance to study! If this rubber can really help Master Gu achieve great things, I am willing, and I only need one reward, then Just leave my name in the academy."

"I'll tell Master Gu." Xue Ji nodded, "I'm just going to make you suffer."

"It's okay." The student said with a smile, "I usually don't go to the workshop. There are many Japanese people working for me. My salary here is the workshop with the most Japanese people."

"I'll arrange a team of guards for you. Someone will replace you after autumn, and you need to avoid the workshop. The smell of that stuff is not good for your health." Xue Ji said solemnly.

"I understand, Japanese people work harder than anyone else for money and food, I don't need to do more."

"Master Xue." A small official from the Maritime Trade Department reported back, "The goods are almost ready, here is the list."

Xue Ji took a look at the list. This time, the production of glass is very good, but the production of perfume is very low. It's just that the grain production in Japan is too small, and high-concentration wine cannot be brewed, because the season in Japan is relatively cold. I don't know if the weather will be better when the weather is warmer. I think it's better to make perfume in the south. I have to tell Gu Houye about this situation, and the bricks and stones produced have also become a problem.

"There are too many bricks and stones, and I'm afraid they won't be able to be transported out at once." Xue Ji said hesitantly, "These bricks and stones should be diverted to Goguryeo."

"Yes." The clerk of the Maritime Trade Department immediately went to prepare.

The waves beat against the coast, and the Japanese monk who had just returned from the Japanese royal family looked at the direction of the Central Plains expressionlessly.

"What are you thinking?" Xue Ji asked.

"The royal family of the Wa country has given up on itself. Many people who serve the royal family would rather come to the factory than to be in the royal family. Now the life of the royal family is worse than that of ordinary civilians." The monk said with blank eyes.

"Actually, I can give you royal money." Xue Ji said with a smile.

"What do you want to do again!" The monk's eyes were immediately wary.

"I don't want to control your royal family." Xue Ji said again, "It's just that we people from the Central Plains earn money in your Wa country, and at the same time make many people in your Wa country rich. Naturally, we can't treat you Wa country poorly."

"You always have bad intentions." The Japanese monk said.

"We just hope that your Japanese royal family can help us say a few words so that more people can trust us." Xue Ji smiled.
