A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Tell me about you, can you speak well?" Li Tai stepped forward, "What do you mean talking to Fang Yi directly? Do you think Brother Fang can take on a big responsibility?"

"Didn't you say you can't do it?" Gu Qing smiled and shook his fan to listen to the sound of Lang Lang reading in the academy, "Could it be that the sky is sunny and the snow has stopped, and you think you can do it again."

"I found that talking to you will either suffocate or anger you." Li Tai pulled Gu Qing into the room, "Tell me, why did you let me be the second person."

Gu Qing put away the fan in his hand and put it on the table, "Actually, the reason is very simple, because you are the son of His Majesty, and also the prince, King Wei! In fact, it is also for you not to leave Chang'an, I understand better the relationship between you and the prince. Cold war, as long as this prince is still a prince, you will be far behind the supreme position. Besides, you are only using the excuse of compiling the topography to stay in Chang'an, but what about in the long run? A volume of topography will you How many more years will it take to write, only if you can stay in the academy, this is the long-term solution! You are also the best candidate, the prince cannot come to the academy, because the position of the prince is very sensitive, but you are different, you are the prince Not the prince!"

"I'm the prince and not the prince?" Li Tai muttered to himself in doubt.

"Tell me about you. You usually have a high EQ, so why are you confused now?" Gu Qing pointed to Li Tai, "Let's talk about something taboo, how did your father sit in that position? He, Li Chengqian, is the eldest son. Your father has set a bad example. He doesn’t want the things of his father’s generation to happen to you. As long as the prince doesn’t do anything outrageous, his position will not be shaken. Usually, you think your father trusts you, deliberately Suppress the prince! That's just his way of weighing, don't you understand!"

After hearing Gu Qing's words, Li Tai was speechless for a long time.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for all the ministers in the court to face the prince. That will only make your father feel threatened. The prince has not woken up yet, fat man! You must wake up first." Gu Qing said to him, "I don't want to I saw you walking the old path of your father's generation."

"Hehehe..." Li Tai suddenly understood, "The authorities are confused by the bystanders, Gu Qing, you have woken me up."

"So, do you want to be the second in command?" Gu Qing laughed.

"Do it! Of course I will do it, who else can I do!" Li Tai waved his sleeves, "Gu Qing, look after you! I now understand how to deal with the prince!"

Only then did Gu Qing stand up reassuringly, "In the future, you should pay more attention to the affairs of the academy. Needless to say, Fang Yizhi, let's play together until the end. You can use this guy Xu Jingzong, but don't reuse him! If you have anything to ask Ask Kong Yingda, Father Kong and his son are highly respected, and sometimes his words can convince the elders even more."

"Since this king is going to be the second person of the academy, I have to tell my father." Li Tai smiled, "And let the prince know, I envy him to death!"

"Cao Zhi said that we were born from the same root, so why bother each other!" Gu Qing shook his head and sighed, "Look at you one by one, learn more, look at how comfortable I am, I'm in a daze when I have nothing to do, counting money at home Hand cramps, shouting and drinking outside! What a scene, what a decency."

"Beautiful? Decent?" Li Tai disliked it, "You don't want to see what your reputation has become in Chang'an."

Chapter 290 The Second Person in the Academy

Gu Qing gave a strange laugh, waved the fan in his hand and left, saying: "Others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through, not seeing the tombs of heroes in the five tombs, and hoeing fields without flowers and wine!"

"Other people laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others for not being able to see through?" Li Tai pondered, "That's right! Good poetry, it just smells like you want to escape from the world."

Walking all the way in the academy, Gu Qing wandered about where he planned to build a library, and now the back of the academy is still under construction, it seems that there is no room for a library, Xu Jingzong saw Gu Qing coming, "Master Gu. "

"The fortifications were completed very quickly." Gu Qing nodded and said.

"That's natural." Xu Jingzong said, "Nowadays, people have already harvested the grain. In winter, many farmers have no work. They are looking for work. It happens that we are short of people here, and the wages are high."

"Pay attention to me." Gu Qing looked at the scene, "Leave an acre of land behind for other purposes."

"Okay." Xu Jingzong nodded.

"Try to recruit as many people as possible, and many people will lose their jobs in the winter." Gu Qing said while walking, "Also prepare more hot soup on weekdays, so as not to let the big guys catch the cold."

"Your official understands." Xu Jingzong said again, "Master Hou is kind-hearted. He doesn't want some wealthy households to ask people to dredge the ditches in the fields in winter. After clearing the ditches in icy water, the ditches turn purple from the cold. Work?"

Gu Qing patted Xu Jingzong's shoulder, "Be nice to the people, they don't really want much."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou." Xu Jingzong nodded in agreement.

Gu Qing walked out of the academy, longing in his heart to build this small mountain village into a big city not smaller than Chang'an, and to build this place into the most affluent place in the Tang Dynasty.

"Master Gu!" Several children greeted Gu Qing when they saw him.

"Well, good boy." Gu Qing looked at them.

"Does Master Gu eat eggs?" A child took out a boiled egg from his arms.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat." Gu Qing replied with a smile.

The child still put the egg into Gu Qing's hands, then ran away with a group of children laughing, picked up the boiled egg in his hand, Gu Qing looked at the group of children when they came to the village, it was very dilapidated, now these children are also There is no need to wear patched clothes, and Da Leng Tan does not need to wear straw sandals. Looking at these children, Gu Qing thought of all the children in Datang, how many children would still be shivering in the cold wind wearing straw sandals in winter.

How many people are running for a morsel of food in winter.

Gu Qing really wants to accomplish everything overnight, but the facts tell him that it is far from enough. The goal is very far away. After taking this step, there are still many, many steps ahead, to strengthen the country!Rich people!Wandering all the way in the village, I saw Sun Simiao sitting on the stone steps looking at the village in a daze.

Sitting next to Sun Simiao, Gu Qing also looked at the scenery in Sun Simiao's eyes, "What is the old man looking at?"

"Look at the scenery." Sun Simiao said, "Our village is too rich, and the people in the village are much richer than the people in Chang'an. If this is the case everywhere in Tang Dynasty, it would be great, less people will starve to death, and less travel around."

Gu Qing also nodded, "I can't do much, but I will do my best, even though he has a pair of fame and fortune, it's not as good as my breeze and sleeves full of flowers,"

"Huh!" Sun Simiao spat out a mouthful of old phlegm, and gave Gu Qing a disgusted look.

What does the old man mean by this? Gu Qing propped his chin with one hand, "Old man, which teacher on the top of the mountain do you like?"

Sun Simiao glared at Gu Qing, then got up and left.

Sitting on the stone steps, Gu Qing stared at the scenery in front of him, in a daze...

In the Chang'an Imperial Palace, Li Tai came to the Ganlu Hall, where there was a charcoal fire burning warmly, he stepped forward and said, "Father, Gu Qing wants this son to be the servant of the academy, that is, the second in command."

Li Er, who was reading a book, looked up at Li Tai and nodded, "Very good."

"It's just that the construction of the academy is the most important thing for the upcoming imperial examination." Li Tai said hesitantly, "Father, my son feels that it is inappropriate to take this position."

After finishing speaking, Li Tai still took a careful look at his father's expression, while Li Er didn't care, "If there's anything wrong, you can go and do it with confidence."

"My son understands." Li Tai finally let out a sigh of relief, but the fact that the father did not object does not mean that it is okay, and he was still uneasy. If Gu Qing's guess is correct, the father has to weigh the relationship between himself and the crown prince.

Li Er thoughtfully said to Wang Qin beside him, "Let the prince prepare to receive the envoys from various countries."

"I'm going now, old slave." Wang Qin left.

Sure enough, Li Tai was sure in his heart that Gu Qing was right, and his own thinking was not bad.

"Qing Que, you've lost weight." Li Er was half lying on the couch, looking at Li Tai from the corner of his eye.

"I've been on a diet recently, and according to Wei Qing's advice, I need to exercise more to lose weight." Li Tai said, "I feel a lot more comfortable these days."

"What is Gu Qing doing recently?" Li Er looked at the book but asked Gu Qing.

"Gu Qing is home, academy, and factory these days." Li Tai said leisurely.

"Has this kid started preparing for the rebuilding of the Daming Palace?" Li Er asked again.

"Preparation is actually preparation." Li Tai replied again, "It's just that the preparation has not yet started, and now Gu Qing has to raise money. It is said that there will be a big auction in the middle of this month, and all the strange formulas will be sold. For things like money, Gu Qing always has a solution."

"His way of earning money is unmatched." Li Er sighed, "You and Gu Qing have a good relationship, why don't you talk more with this kid, and think about the national policy when you have time, it's not like I can't listen to advice. "

"I understand." Li Tai answered with a bow.

"Go and say hello to your mother." Li Er said again, "After the childish slave and son arrived at Gu Qing's house, your mother's place was quite deserted."

"My son will leave." Li Tai bowed and left.
