A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Page 758

Li Tai is leading a group of students from the academy to help Gu Qing. The students of the academy can also work part-time and earn some income. Some things have become a tacit understanding. Whenever the factory and the Maritime Trade Department encounter any problems, the academy All the students can come to help, just like the procedures that the Maritime Trade Department has been screening for when recruiting civilians have always been done by the students of the academy. The factory encounters some problems, such as mechanics, or some theories that they don’t understand Knowledge can make the students of the academy.

Students can earn a lot of money in addition to their studies.

Li Tai sat lazily in the shade of a tree and fanned himself, "Today's weather is so hot."

"Indeed." Yang Sheng also said lazily.

"Your daughter has been a lot more honest in the academy recently, not as naughty as before." Li Tai said.

"When the child grows up, he will know some rules." Yang Sheng said with a smile, "It's my own daughter. I can see that she is obedient in the academy now, but she still yearns to be a soldier in her heart and wants to be a soldier. A female general."

"I can ask Su Dingfang and Cheng Chumo to help." Li Tai said to Yang Sheng, "But back then it was a helpless move for other girls to serve in the army, and now your daughter wants to be a soldier and fight, even the court would not agree. "

"Of course I know." Yang Sheng sighed and said, "It's not that I haven't told my daughter, but she said that if there is no war to fight, she will collect heroes from all sides and let the Tang Dynasty fight her."

Li Tai almost laughed.

"Don't you say this is adding to the chaos." Yang Sheng bit the root of his mouth, "I think about finding a son-in-law who can control her in the future, just thinking about it gives me a headache

A man hurriedly ran to Gu Qing's side and said, "Master Gu, there is a river in front of the road, do you want to bypass the river to repair it?"

The dwarf listened and spread out the map to look at it before Gu Qing could speak, "If you want to bypass the river to repair it, it will take more than half a month."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Qing continued, "Build a bridge there directly. If you want money, you can find me, and if you need someone, you can find someone."

"Okay! Let's find someone to build the bridge."

The dwarf smiled wryly, he decided to build the bridge without even thinking about it.

Lu Xiuchang will encounter all kinds of problems, and there will be people riding horses to explain the situation.

"Master Hou, there is a fork in the road leading to Luoshui, which goes in three directions."

"Then repair all three forks!" Gu Qing said with a wave of his hand.

"Master Hou, the price of stone materials has increased again, and it is said that the supply is not available."

"Damn, it's over! Are these guys trying to rip me off?" Gu Qing waved his hand again and said, "Tell them, I, Gu Qing, paid [-] guan! Buy all the stone dealers for me! Don’t you give me a face? Think I, Gu Qing, have no money? Buy all the workshops with stones for me, and increase the price of stones for me, and I’ll buy their workshops directly!”

"What if they don't sell it?"

"Then we won't buy their stone materials, but go to other stone workshops."

"Master Hou, it's too bad!" Another peasant came up and said, "Someone bought all the stone workshops first."

"Damn, who did it!" Gu Qing almost drew his sword and stood up.

"Master Hou!" The man ran up and said, "The Li family of Zhaojun bought all the stone workshops around Chang'an."

"Okay, Li Ran, will you draw my salary from the bottom of the pot?"

"Master Hou!" said the man who just went to inquire about the price, "The Li family of Zhao County gave all the stone workshops they bought to Lord Gu. This is the title deed."

"What?" Gu Qing was a little dumbfounded when he came back to his senses, and took over the land deeds one after another. Since when Li Ran was so generous, something is wrong, this woman is holding back, thinking about it, Gu Qing asked Fan Jian beside him, "Where is Li Ran?"

"Accompanies Madam to Ganye Temple." Fan Jian replied.

"Sure enough, this woman's one hand after another, it seems that she has premeditated." Gu Qing rubbed his chin, "She is kind, we have to accept all the stones, since they have already been given to us anyway, don't waste it .”

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty!" The fat monk hurriedly ran up and said, "Several villages said that they also want to build roads there, saying that they can provide their own people without our money."

"Okay." Gu Qing nodded, "Anyway, we don't need to buy stones now, and we will give the villagers as much as we can to build roads, and we will give them all we have."

A large group of villagers applauded.

Li Zhi pulled Gu Qing to the side and said in a low voice, "Gu Qing, aren't you afraid that the court will have an opinion if you do this?"

"What is there to say?"

"Are you really confused or fake confused?" Li Zhi continued, "What does the royal family think of you winning the hearts of the people so much?"

"Do I need to give Li Chengqian face? What I Gu Qing wants to do depends on Li Chengqian's face?" Gu Qing said to Li Zhi, "Even if he sues your father, I can stand up, why? I will fix it for him for nothing. Lu, he is too happy to bite me back! He is not so stupid."

Li Zhi nodded slightly, Li Chengqian would not be so stupid, nor should he be so stupid!If Li Chengqian made things difficult for Gu Qing because of this matter, what would the people under Gu Qing think of Li Chengqian? If the major fortifications stop, how many people will resent them. To put it bluntly, these road construction people are all Gu Qing's hostages. If Li Chengqian and Gu Qing can't get along, who will buy Li Chengqian's account in the future.

Li Zhi also believes that Gu Qing will never be short of money, and Gu Qing will only have more money after he returns from Haimao after opening a branch factory in Japan this time. .

Thinking of this, everything seems to be taken for granted, but when he thinks about it, Li Zhi always feels that he has overlooked something, and when he wakes up thinking about the breeze blowing, he almost forgot the most important thing, which is the bank.

Gu Qing's road construction seems to be a kindness, but this kindness is very good to blackmail Li Chengqian, and deposit the money in the bank. What Gu Qing is most worried about is nothing else. He is afraid that Li Chengqian will privatize the bank in the future, such as war or disaster. The treasury is the treasury, and the bank is the bank. Gu Qing sounded a wake-up call for Li Chengqian.

Chapter One Thousand and Two

Chu Suiliang knew about Li Chengqian's temper and about Gu Qing's wanton spending on building roads, so he came to Ganlu Hall immediately to find Li Chengqian.

"Your Majesty, Gu Qing seems to be spending too much money on building roads, and I think there must be a reason for it." Chu Suiliang said to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian said in a low voice, "You are here to persuade me not to stop Gu Qing from building the road, right?"

"I really mean that." Chu Suiliang continued, "It's fine if Gu Qing doesn't build the road, but if Gu Qing builds the road, the east wind will come for the central bank."

"Dongfeng?" Li Chengqian was puzzled.

Chu Suiliang nodded and replied, "For a long time, the public has not been clear about the purpose of this bank. Many people don't understand what saving money is. They will think it is a second treasury. Of course, there are also voices of opposition in the public. People would think that this is a way for the court to collect people's wealth, just like Gu Qing's road construction this time, if Gu Qing deposited all the money in the bank, then Gu Qing will continue to preside over the road construction, and Gu Qing will explain that the bank is just A place to save money is not the royal treasury, so everything makes sense, and it doesn’t matter that building a few roads will empty Gu Qing’s family.”

After listening to Chu Suiliang's words, Li Chengqian closed his eyes and pondered for a while and said, "Wang Jin has arranged an itinerary, and I want to meet Gu Qing."

"The old slave complies." Wang Jin bowed and stepped back.

The road outside Gu Village is still busy, and Li Xiang has quickly integrated into the life here these days.

All the road construction was left to the dwarf, and the fat monk and Yang Sheng took care of it. Gu Qing sat at home and spent a leisurely time, lying on the rocking chair and asking Wu Mei, who was arranging her clothes, "Li Ran just left, why not?" What's left?"

"I didn't leave any words." Wu Mei handed the tidied clothes to the servants at the side one by one, "Actually, I just asked you about the road construction before I came, and then we went to see Princess Changle together and came back It's gone, and I didn't mention anything about your road repairs in the middle.

Gu Qingchang sighed, "It's the most embarrassing thing to say nothing. If this Li Ran has something to say, I still have a peace of mind. She gave me such a big gift for no reason. I don't even know what to ask for." How to return the gift to her, dealing with this woman is really troublesome."

Wu Mei understood what Gu Qing meant, "I'll talk to her sometime."

"It's easier for you women to say." Gu Qing nodded.

Wu Mei packed her clothes and returned home, and Gao Yang immediately followed her into the house, "Sister Wu Mei, is this Li Ran doing something wrong again?"

Nodding helplessly, Wu Mei said, "This Li Ran gave our family a big gift for no reason. If I accept it, I worry about how to return this big gift, which is very difficult."
