A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Woof!" The little milk dog seemed to understand Gu Qing's words, barked and turned away arrogantly.

Wu Mei talked about Di Renjie's marriage, and Gu Qing began to prepare for going to sea. Today, Yan Liben, Shangguanyi, and the students from the academy gathered together to discuss.

Yan Liben looked at the blueprint over and over again, "Gu Qing, if we really want to build the port so big, it's the size of the imperial city, and it will take several years."

"Of course I know." Gu Qing also explained, "We can build it step by step, starting from the core part, and then improve it step by step. Don't worry, I will explain it to Your Majesty."

"What about the civilian husband?" Shangguanyi asked again.

"The Li family of Zhao County prepared some for me. I still want to continue recruiting. I still have wages and holidays, and I will give a lot of benefits." Gu Qing said with a smile, "As much as I can, I will How much to recruit."

Listening to Gu Qing's words, Shangguanyi also had some calculations in his mind, "Your Majesty summoned me yesterday, how did Shang Shuling make His Majesty decide to let you supervise the construction of the port?"

"I have [-]% of the profits that I want to pay to the court as taxes." Gu Qingyu earnestly said, "Shangguanyi, I spent a lot of money. I originally wanted Yan Liben, but he is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so I can't mess around with it."

Yan Liben, "This old man can actually help you."

"It's okay for a while, but definitely not for a year and a half."

"That's true." Yan Liben agreed.

Shangguanyi looked at the group of students behind her, they were all brought out by Yan Liben, "Xiaguan will take them to the East China Sea to implement the regulations first, and wait for the hands of Shang Shuling."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Gu Qing bowed to Shangguanyi.

"You're welcome." Shangguanyi also saluted Gu Qing.

Li Zhi stood outside the academy, looking at the scene in front of him, Di Renjie went to Li's family in Zhao County to marry a wife, Shang Guanyi also took people to the East China Sea to build a seaport, many people had things to do, but he was the most leisurely, walking away sadly Enter the academy and go to class.

Gu Qing came to Kong Yingda, "Master Kong, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"What are you doing here?" Kong Yingda looked at Gu Qing.

"Here is a book, boy, I want to ask Old Master Confucius to read it." Gu Qing handed the transcribed mysterious text to Kong Yingda, "I don't know if Confucius can translate these words?"

Kong Yingda looked at these mysterious words with a startled expression, "Where did you get it from?"

"A strange old man." Gu Qing replied.

"I have seen this text before, and it was also when I was young. One word of this text represents many meanings, and it is a bit long. It may take some time to translate it." Kong Yingda looked at Gu Qing, "I just can't translate all of them. To come out, you need a lot of ancient books to refer to.”

It seems that these words really have something to do with the Central Plains, Gu Qing said with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed, Master Kong, just check it out, I'm just a whim."

"I understand." Kong Yingda nodded.

"Farewell first." Gu Qing saluted Kong Yingda, then walked out step by step.

Kong Yingda regained his senses and looked at the scroll in front of him. He had seen these words when he was young, but he only glanced at them briefly. They may be older than his ancestor Confucius.

Chapter 497

Everything was being arranged smoothly. Zhang San was sitting in the empty Shangshu Province. All the people in the Shangshu Province were sent to Guanlong. Gu Qing didn't greet him. Zhang San also knew in his heart that since he came back from Yanmen Pass Gu Qing has been on guard against himself for so many years.

In the relatively deserted Shangshu Province, the court also exploded. Gu Qing's plan to build a large port can't be hidden at all. From the beginning of the sky-high price to the present, things can no longer stop the rumors. , There are different opinions in the DPRK and China. Some people say that civilian husbands cannot be recruited by force. This is a waste of national power. Opposition voices abound and no one agrees.

Li Chengqian also knew that as long as Gu Qing was not recruited by civilians, the port could not be built.

"You all have sharp mouths!" Cheng Yaojin was not happy, "Gu Qingjian Academy did not force people's labor, and Gu Qingjian's factory did not force people's labor either. You all want to use people's labor before seeing what people do. Killing someone with a stick?"

A speech officer walked out of the court and said, "Your Majesty! There is Ah Fang in the front and the violent Sui in the back. All these things are shocking!"

Li Er looked at Yan Liben, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, "Yan Liben."

"The minister is here." Yan Liben took a step forward.

"Gu Qing must have discussed the port construction with you."

Yan Liben nodded, "I have indeed seen the drawings of Shang Shuling, and I also know the concept of Shang Shuling."

Seeing the opportunity, the officer immediately asked: "Dare to ask the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, how big is the port built by Gu Qing?"

"No less than an imperial city." Yan Liben said.

The size of the port is no less than that of an imperial city, how much manpower and financial resources are needed!There are endless discussions in the court.

Li Er didn't expect that the port that Gu Qing wanted to build would be so big, and he was speechless for a while. He knew how big Chang'an City was, and he knew how much manpower, financial and material resources would be spent.

Cheng Yaojin was too scared to speak when he heard this sentence, he never thought that Gu Qing's so-called port would be so big, what exactly Gu Qing wanted to do, but considering all the previous things, Gu Qing would not do that He didn't dare to forcefully recruit civilian husbands!It is even more impossible for him, Gu Qing, to do things that His Majesty would not even dare to do today.

Li Er, amidst the voices of opposition, also decreed that Gu Qing could build the port, but he could not force the laborers to be recruited, they had to be voluntary.

After the dynasty was over, Cheng Yaojin was in a bad mood, and he was very resistant to the pedantic taste of the civil servants.

"Gu Qing's reputation is at the peak of the sky now, and since he dealt with the rich and powerful, the people's hearts have become even more popular than before." Niu Jinda spoke to Cheng Yaojin as he walked, "We all know that Gu Qing will not do such a thing as forcing civilian husbands, but for those court officials For veterans, as long as they think it is wrong, it will not be right."

"Of course I understand." Cheng Yaojin had deep disgust in his eyes, "The so-called correctness is just what they think is correct, as long as it is what they think is correct or wrong, even if it is of great benefit to the country, they will use the so-called This is the hub of the court, sitting on the court hall, those old officials are self-righteous, they want to step on Gu Qing's reputation to perfect themselves."

"They would rather be old-fashioned than make mistakes. This is pedantry! We have seen what Gu Qing has done these years, and every thing Gu Qing thinks about those common people, we all see it, but they sit in court When did you think about adding an extra bite to the common people, when did you think about contributing to the country! They just want to keep their positions and eat their salaries, just like Gu Qing said, they are useless except to be officials!"

Niu Jinda reminded, "Keep your voice down!"

"I'm going to say it!" Cheng Yaojin yelled at those civil officials, "You sours are useless except to be officials!"

The roar echoed in front of the Taiji Palace, and all the civil servants looked at Cheng Yaojin who was burning with anger.

"If Wei Zheng was here, he wouldn't be so aimless like you!" Cheng Yaojin pointed at them, "You would rather watch the common people eat porridge and dried vegetables than think about adding an extra piece of meat to the common people's bowls."

"Enough, enough!" Niu Jinda pulled Cheng Yaojin.

Wang Qin stood aside, watching Qiancheng Yaojin of Taiji Palace pointing at a group of civil servants and yelling at them.

Fang Xuanling remained silent and walked out of Chengtian Gate slowly. This is why His Majesty wants to support the new faction. The old faction will only succeed. For the old faction, they are already sitting in a very high position. As long as they do not make mistakes, they will not be able to fall down. This will cause the layer above the court to remain unchanged.

Most of the time, only when new blood comes in can they be energetic. Young people are motivated, they will want to do better than their predecessors, and they will want to help the emperor make some achievements.

This chapel is too old.

Li Er's order was issued very quickly, and it immediately reached Gu Qing's hands.

After taking the yellow silk, Gu Qing took a look at the words on it, and threw it aside casually. Wu Mei is no stranger to Gu Qing's behavior. Gu Qing has always been submissive on the surface, but his disdain for the emperor is engraved in his bones .

Gu Qing walked out of the house and wandered in the village, thinking about Li Er's will in his mind.

Yang Sheng came to talk with the dwarf, "Cheng Yaojin scolded those civil servants in front of the Taiji Palace, right in front of the Taiji Palace."

"It is said that those civil servants were scolded to the point of speechlessness." The dwarf added, "Boss Gu, you must have received the words from the man in the palace. This time, it was those civil servants who did it."

"I feel relieved when they make such a fuss." Gu Qing walked on the tidy road, "It is a good thing to have enemies, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. If all the people in the court are against me, I think I will leave The head will not be far away, although the man in the palace will use me for many things, but he never let me hold the real power from the beginning to the end, even a Shang Shuling does not have much power."
