A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Is there?" Gu Qing was surprised.

"Isn't it?" Li Chengqian was suspicious, "Could it be that you didn't think so much?"

"I just want to go to the East China Sea to do business." Gu Qing regained his seriousness, "The purpose is very simple, and the reason is also very simple. Your Royal Highness, don't think too complicated."

Li Chengqian didn't know what to say, so he smiled wryly and shook his head, "Then let's talk about business, what do you mean by asking Father for artillery if you do business well?"

"Self-defense." Gu Qing said again, "There are pirates in the sea, which is very dangerous."

"Pirates? Are there really?"

"Just in case." Gu Qing said disapprovingly, "It's like traveling far away, wondering if someone will rob you, and carrying a stick with you is also for self-defense, right? That's what it means."

When Gu Qing explained this, Li Chengqian couldn't believe it anymore. The sea trade mentioned this time is definitely not simple.

"If it is, there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Gu Qing saluted and left.

Li Chengqian watched him leave, still suspicious in his heart, "What the hell is this Gu Qing trying to do?"

Back home, Gu Qing was instructing the factory to start preparing for the mass production of compasses. Zhang Jie listened to Gu Qing's instructions and asked the workers to make compass.

"This compass is not difficult to make, the important thing is sensitivity and accuracy." Gu Qing said to Zhang Jie.

"Master Hou." Zhang Jie asked suspiciously, "Can this compass be sold for money? It's a good thing comparable to Sinan's. It's a university study, and it can make a lot of money."

"This thing is not difficult to make, I don't want to use this thing to make money." Gu Qing walked all the way and said, "Even if you sell it, you are not allowed to sell it at a high price, do you know?"

"Understood." Zhang Jie nodded listening to the words, "The water flows slowly."

Some things will be popularized, and some things are not difficult to make. If you sell the price extremely high, someone will think of making a compass. The compass is easy to make. Instead of using it as a tool for making money, it is better to let it popularized.

I went all the way to my home, but I saw a young monk in the village, who seemed to be only eleven or twelve years old, and had some facial expressions

"Benefactor Gu!" The little monk saw Gu Qing smiling and bowing.

"You are..." Gu Qing looked at the other person and recalled, "I remembered, you were the little monk in that small temple back then, right? What's your Dharma name?"

"The poor monk's Dharma name is not stupid." The little monk smiled wryly.

"Yes, yes, look at my memory." Gu Qing sized up the little monk, who had grown a lot taller, "Did your master promise you to go down the mountain to practice?"

"En!" The little monk nodded vigorously, "Master said, I want to meet Master Gu first."

"Is your teacher and father in good health?" Gu Qing asked.

"Okay." The little monk replied talking.

"Could it be that your master sent you out because he saw that there was no food left in your temple?"

"Benefactor Gu, what are you talking about? The food in the temple gate has always been sufficient." The young monk said without changing his expression, "The poor monk has also heard a lot about the deeds of Gu County Marquis these days."

"What do you know?"

The little monk looked at Gu Qingchang and sighed, "Master said before leaving that the hostility of Gu Shizhu is getting heavier and heavier, and the days after Gu Benefactor came out of the temple were ordinary, I thought that the hostility of Gu donor had already disappeared." It’s gone, but in fact it’s just been hidden by the benefactor Gu, and when it is revealed again, it will get worse.”

Seeing that Gu Qing's face was a bit wrong, the little monk continued, "Don't worry about Gu benefactor, I didn't blame Gu Houye, I just hoped that Gu Houye would do less crimes in the future, I respect Gu Houye very much, and don't want Gu Hou When the master arrives, it will be an infamy in the history books, an infamy that kills people without blinking an eye."

"You misunderstood me." Gu Qing continued, "I don't care what people in later generations say about me, so what if it's infamy? My life is only a few dozen years, and I just want to achieve my goal."

The little monk smiled and continued, "It's the little monk who talks too much."

"Go to my house for a walk." Gu Qing said to him, "Little monk, we made an appointment at the beginning."

The little monk emphasized again, "The name of the little monk is not stupid."

"Little monk, hurry up." Gu Qing urged the starter all the way

"Oh..." The little monk sighed, "That's all."

Di Renjie's new home has almost been built, and Di Renjie moved to his new home with his wife.

When the little monk came to Gu Qing's house, he was also shocked by the glazed windows. He had heard that Gu Qing was very rich, so he had prepared himself mentally before coming here, but he never thought that Gu Qing's house was already so rich.

"Don't be offended." Gu Qing explained, "Actually, I made all these colored glazes myself."

"Gu benefactor can still make colored glaze?" the little monk asked in surprise.

"Actually, it's not difficult to make, just burn some stones." Gu Qing said.

Wu Mei was a little surprised to see a monk coming to her home.

"This is what I met in the temple." Gu Qing explained.

Chapter 452 Planning and Planning

It was only then that Wu Mei remembered that this little monk was the one who played with Gu Qing in the river back then, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang and Princess Jin Yang have returned to the palace, and this concubine is going to prepare meals."

"Gu Qing, your home is really nice." The little monk looked here.

"Do you like it?" Gu Qing looked at him with a smile.

"I like it, but after all, these are just things." The little monk also replied.

Why does this little monk speak in an old-fashioned way, like those old guys, what exactly did he go through.

Considering that she is a monk, Wu Mei specially asked the servants at home to cook some vegetarian dishes and some meat dishes. Gu Qing doesn't have many friends, but those who can bring home are all valued friends.

Pots of dishes came to the table, and the little monk took the lead in eating the fried chicken legs.

"Can you eat this?" Gu Qing was suspicious while drinking.

"It's nothing serious, it's nothing serious." The little monk said, "I have heard that the dishes in Master Gu's house are very unique, and now I taste it, it is really extraordinary."

After having a big meal at home, the little monk said, "Benefactor Gu, I still have to visit Tang Xuanzang, so I will take my leave first."

"No, no." Gu Qing saw him off at the door of his house.

Sun Simiao sat at the door of his house and watched everything here, "Where did that little monk come from?"

"He came from next door to the Ganye Temple, saying that he went down the mountain to practice." Gu Qing explained.

"Di Renjie finally got married." Sun Simiao looked at Di Renjie's new home not far away, "I have been in Chang'an for so many years without knowing it, and you have all grown up."

"Master is still as old and strong as before." Gu Qing put a hand on Sun Simiao's shoulder.

"I'm getting old, I can't walk anymore." Sun Simiao said.
