A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Yang Sheng also understands that Li Shimin has always used Gu Qing heavily, but he has not given Gu Qing real power because he is on guard and jealousy. From the incident in Guanlong, it can be seen that Gu Qing has the important task of pacifying Guanlong, but he can't mobilize troops. The right to mobilize troops and horses was handed over to Wei Wang Li Tai.

"Fortunately, I'm lazy." Gu Qing yawned.

"What are you going to do about the harbor?" Yang Sheng sat on a stone beside him.

"I never thought of forcing the civil servants, and it is impossible for me to do so."

The late autumn wind was a bit chilly, Gu Qing waved the fan in his hand, "But Uncle Cheng dared to curse in front of the Taiji Palace, this is truly unique in the world."

"Ah Qiu!" Cheng Yaojin, who was drinking at home, sneezed loudly.

Chapter 498

Cheng Yaojin sniffed his nose, looked at the scene at home and took another sip of strong wine, "It's so cold these days, I don't know what's going on with that kid Gu Qing."

Things are still being arranged. Gu Qing is asking a few students in the academy to help copy the announcement. After writing it, he posted it in every corner near Chang'an, but all of them were torn up.

"Who did it!" The fat monk shouted angrily, "Find him out, and I'll see who they are, who dare to ruin our good deeds, Mr. Gu."

Pei Xingjian sat quietly and talked, "It seems that some people don't want the teacher to make things happen."

The secret line around the fat monk was about to act immediately, Pei Xingjian said again, "Looking at it, it's better to wait for the teacher's reaction than to do this, just tell the teacher the news, don't act rashly, it's just some troubles, there's no need to be an enemy."

"Then let's just watch it like this?" The fat monk said unwillingly.

"Yes, we'd better watch quietly now." Pei Xingjian whispered, "The man in the palace has noticed us now, he is not blind, and his power is not blind. After so many years, do you think the palace Can't the one in the house smell anything? As long as we're not in the sun, he can't hold us."

The fat monk whispered to the short man, "Inform Boss Gu immediately."

A few days after Li Er's decree, Gu Qing sat leisurely in the village fishing with Cheng Chumo and Li Tai because he didn't do anything about the port and didn't call anyone out.

"Is that enough?" Li Tai wondered.

"It's good to be idle like this, do I still have to go outside and yell hard?" Gu Qing dragged his chin, "There are many ways, why use the most stupid way."

"You have a solution?" Li Tai was puzzled.

"The mountain people have their own tricks." Gu Qing looked sad.

"It's good to have a way, why do you have to put on a bad face?"

Long sighed, Gu Qing said slowly, "Is it easy for you to talk about me? If you want to see a port, those civil servants will breathe out their fragrance on the court hall, forgiving and clean. It's really a person sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky. It's a big fart. If anything, they will beat me to pieces."

"Wow ha ha ha ha!" Cheng Chumo laughed from the sidelines.

Li Tai didn't think it was funny, but felt an inexplicable pressure. Although the pressure was not on his mind, he could still feel some helplessness in Gu Qing's self-deprecation.

"Hooked!" Gu Qing watched his fishing line sink into the river, saw the momentum and lifted up the pole just in time to catch a palm-sized grass carp.

In the evening, Gu Qing put the fish he caught back into the river, bid farewell to Cheng Chumo and Li Tai, and walked to the gate of the academy alone, and the students had already left school.

Fang Yi walked straight out of the academy, "Are you waiting for me?"

"I need your help with some things." Gu Qing nodded.

"Talking while walking." Fang Yi said with a smile.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder among the fields in the village. Fang Yi saw Gu Qing silently, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You must have heard about the fact that I want to build a port."

"I heard." Fang Yi looked straight at the sun that was sinking in the western mountains, "I also heard that the port you are going to build this time is about the size of an imperial city, are you in a hurry."

"There are some roads that go earlier, and I don't want to miss this opportunity to go to the East China Sea." Gu Qing whispered, "Fang Yizhi, if this port can double the income of most people in the Central Plains, can you do it?" Dry."

"Aren't you joking?" Fang Yi was puzzled.

"It's not a joke." Gu Qing said again, "With new demands, there will be commerce, and commerce can drive more productivity, and the need for productivity requires the labor of the people. With labor, many people don't have to face the loess for half their lives. , Turning their backs to the sky, they can increase their income, and with the income, they can save money and live a better life."

"No one has ever gone far in Haimao." Fang Yizhi was still a little worried.

"I want to try." Gu Qing said with a smile.

"I'll help you." Fang Yizhi also agreed.

"Thank you!" Gu Qing cupped his hands.

"You built this academy with your own hands. Even if you don't explain it to me, I will do it for you as long as you say hello." Fang Yi said with a smile, "Tell me, how to do it."

"The announcement I posted was torn up immediately. Someone must not want me to succeed." Gu Qing whispered, "So I want to put the recruitment announcement in the magazine."

"I can do it tomorrow." Fang Yi nodded, "how to write."

"Just write it like this." Gu Qing handed over the announcement written by Gu Qing to Fang Yizhi.

On the second day, in the academy, Fang Yizhi also began to organize students to write magazines again to attract civilian husbands for this recruitment. Kong Yingda seemed to be busy with something these days.

After the magazine is finished, it will be handed over to Chang'an's book printing house. Gu Qing spent a lot of money to print [-] copies of the book!

It is to spread the word widely, so that the whole Chang'an knows about this incident, even outside of Chang'an.

Li Er bought the manuscript of this magazine through the book printing shop at the first time. Looking at the contents above, even Li Er did not believe that Gu Qing could spend such a large amount of money this time. It is difficult to travel on the sea, and there is sea water everywhere. There are even some sporadic deserted islands, what kind of confidence does this Gu Qing have to dare to spend such a large amount of money on this sea trade.

"Recruiters need to go to the port to build and work. Each person works for four hours a day, and takes turns at night. The monthly salary is the same money! Eight days of vacation per month, one month of recuperation every summer, and back and forth transportation..."

Li Er looked at it and read it unconsciously. This treatment can be much better than the officials in the court. I am really afraid that someone will stop being an official and go to build a port for Gu Qing.

Wang Qin stood aside silently.

"It seems that this Gu Qing is determined to build a port." Li Er thought about it, "Wang Qin, the people sent to the East China Sea all returned without success?"

"It's true that they returned without success." Wang Qin bowed and replied, "And many people capsized on the sea, and the sea is also very dangerous, with big fish infesting and huge sea wind."

Li Er put down the magazine in his hand, "Then why did Gu Qing spend so much money on going to sea, and what kind of support does he have?"

"Your Majesty!" The little eunuch came slowly, "Your Majesty, Guan Long is here to play a memorial."

"Bring it up."

Wang Qin took the memorial and placed it in front of Li Er. The matter of Guan Long was almost dealt with, and some strange things were written in the memorial. rice.

Mangshan Serpent?Li Er then asked Wang Qin, "Do you have any news from Li Junxian?"

Chapter 499 The Pot Comes From The Sky

"Return to Your Majesty." Wang Qin bowed and said, "Li Junxian completely disappeared a few days ago."

"Send someone over to investigate again." Li Er whispered.
