A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"The child hasn't grown yet." Wu Mei took the child and cursed with a smile, "I want a daughter."

"My son is fine, I can afford it!" Gu Qing became quiet when he saw the child in Wu Mei's arms.

Walking out of the delivery room with peace of mind, I saw that Sun Simiao was still busy.

Packing up the herbs, Sun Simiao asked, "Boy, have you seen the dried mint? Where did all the dried mint go?"

"I don't know!" Gu Qing said seriously.

"Strange!" Sun Simiao rummaged through the box and looked at it, "Where did you go?"

"Perhaps His Royal Highness Jin took it to eat." Gu Qing said, "Recently His Royal Highness always said that he wants to eat mint."

"Really?" Sun Simiao looked puzzled, "Dried mint is very bitter, how can His Royal Highness King Jin eat it?"

"That kid has a bad taste recently."

"Gu Qing!"

With a roar, Gu Qing looked back and saw that Li Zhi was standing behind him, "Oh! What a coincidence, why are you here, Your Highness Prince Jin? It's so cold outside, go to your room soon."

"Family, what a coincidence!" Li Zhi blushed angrily, "It's obviously because of you..."

"It's alright, alright, I'll prepare more mints for you next time." Gu Qing pulled Li Zhi who was struggling and walked away.

Sun Simiao looked at this scene as if he understood something, and shook his head and sighed again.

Di Renjie hurried over with his wife, "Teacher, how is the teacher's wife?"

"Mother and child are safe." Gu Qing said, "I'm pretty busy these days."

"It can be considered as busy." Di Renjie replied, "There are some prisoners who have to make decisions after the fall. As long as the files are handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will make decisions and then hand them over to His Majesty. Our Dali Temple is fine."

When it came to business, Li Zhi interrupted, "Goguryeo also sent a letter a few days ago. It was written by Li Junxian and Shangguan Yi. They have already entered the Wa Kingdom, and they also advised the father that they need manpower."

Chapter 462 It's Snowing in Chang'an ([-])

"It seems that the second batch of civilian husbands will be recruited." Gu Qing hesitated, "His Royal Highness, what does your father think?"

"Hmph!" Li Zhi turned his head, not wanting to talk to Gu Qing.

There is a very quiet snowfall in Chang'an, and occasionally a group of children laughing and running happily on the corner of the street, and there are parents shouting and cursing at home.

In Ganlu Palace, Li Er is having a headache at the moment. In the joint letter between Shangguanyi and Li Junxian, it is written that the wealth of the country of Wa has discovered two silver mines so far, and Shangguanyi even discovered a copper mine that has not been mined before. The Mine Range, this is a great wealth for Datang.

Li Er was very excited, but a little apprehensive. There was a big bear paw in front of him, but he couldn't find a place to eat it. If he ate it, he was afraid it would be greasy. If he ate too little, he might not be enough. A little excited, get rich!Got rich.

"Hahaha!" Li Er laughed loudly, "call the house minister into the Ganlu Hall to discuss matters."

Now that I think about it, I feel that something is wrong. This time it is a sea trade, but the DPRK and China did not get any benefits, but they can share [-]% of the tax.

"Bring Niu Jinda and Cheng Yaojin to me too." Li Er was a little impatient.

At the beginning, I didn't have any big ideas about sea trade, but I didn't expect it to be a big deal. There are so many good things in Wa country, what does a copper mine mean?Right now, the Central Plains is too short of copper, which is definitely a strong medicine for the court.

But looking back, the original piece of cake seems to have been divided into sevens and eights by Gu Qing, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Xiaogong...

"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling hurried over and interrupted Li Er's train of thought.

"This is a letter from Li Junxian and Shangguanyi from Wa Kingdom." Li Er handed the letter to Fang Xuanling.

After Fang Xuanling finished reading, Niu Jinda and Cheng Yaojin also came in mink coats, "Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Seeing the two old generals standing in the cold wind, Li Er waved, "Come in."

Cheng Yaojin walked into the Ganlu Hall, the Ganlu Hall was not much warmer, not as warm as his own home, Gu Qing's kang was really easy to use.

Li Er looked at Cheng Yaojin and said, "You and Niu Jinda shared the profits of Gu Qing's sea trade?"

"Return to Your Majesty." Niu Jinda stepped forward and replied, "It is true that Gu Qing has shared the benefits of sea trade!"

"Then I'll ask again, how much profit Gu Qing took in this sea trade again."

"This..." Niu Jinda hesitated for a while and said, "Gu Qing doesn't take any profit from the maritime trade, but only collects port fees."

"He doesn't take any money?" Li Er's eyes widened, and he almost said about the copper mines in Wa Kingdom, "He really doesn't take any money?"

"That's what I said at the beginning." Niu Jinda nodded.

Li Er's eyes flickered, looking for the end?Gu Qing is not like the kind of person who loses melons to pick up sesame seeds. Perhaps the interests of maritime trade are not as good as those of ports. If all ships in the future must pass through Gu Qing’s ports, how much money will Gu Qing have?

What others get is a temporary benefit!And Gu Qing is the long-term solution.

Li Er didn't talk about the silver and copper mines in the country of Wa, and Fang Xuanling also kept silent.

"At the beginning, Gu Qing sold it to his ministers at a sky-high price, and now the family's money is almost gone." Cheng Yaojin said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, if that kid Gu Qing dares to renege on his debt, I ask His Majesty to make the decision."

"A high-priced one?" Li Er knew about it.

"That's right!" Cheng Yaojin nodded, "This time, the price of Haimao's members is sky-high, starting at [-] yuan! It's like a lion opening his mouth, and I still have a little chest pain now."

Li Er: "Partners?"

"Yes! Participation?" Cheng Yaojin nodded aggrievedly, and then seemed to be distressed for his money, wiping his tears.

Li Er: "Is there more?"

"Hmm!" Cheng Yaojin sniffed aggrievedly and came back to his senses in surprise, "...huh?"

"Yes." Niu Jinda replied, "This guy, Gu Qing, is going to sell [-] copies, and he still has a surplus after paying all he can."

Li Er nodded anxiously again, looking like he was at war between heaven and man.

Cheng Yaojin trembled his hands and feet, feeling more and more cold in Ganlu Temple.

"Is Lu Guogong in a hurry?" Li Er looked at Cheng Yaojin with a look of being unable to stand.

"Your Majesty, it's cold!" Cheng Yaojin said truthfully.

"The whole of Chang'an is cold." Li Er said earnestly, "This Ganlu Palace is considered warm. When did your body, Cheng Yaojin, become so afraid of the cold?"

"Actually..." Cheng Yaojin remained silent.

Li Er: "Actually what?"
