A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"It's potatoes again!" Li Tai hopped and said, "I might as well go to the cafeteria with my students to eat. Meat can be eaten in the cafeteria. Brother Fang, you don't know what I'm living these days. I'm a vegetarian, and I'm still a vegetarian when I go to the academy, so I want to eat meat."

"His Royal Highness Wei Wang himself said not to eat meat, he said he wanted to lose weight." Fang Yi walked all the way back to his room, put down the scroll and sat down to drink a sip of hot tea. The tea has long been cold on weekdays, obviously someone It was also made by those women who added tea.

Li Tai couldn't sit still, he stood up and talked, "I'm going to run around outside."

In the last few days of Xiumu, Gu Qing made a camera at home and sent it to Cheng Yaojin's home.

When Zhang Jie heard about this thing, he found Gu Qing excitedly, "Master Hou, I heard that you made an incredible thing."

"Yes." Gu Qing nodded and said, "Why? Are you interested?"

"Master Hou, you don't know." Zhang Jie went on to say, "The things we make in our factory these days were sold very well in the past few years. There is nothing new recently. They are all too ordinary and there is nothing good to make. The flow of the factory is not going up, and those craftsmen are thinking about doing new things to get more money."

"The bicycles in the past are worthless now, and after the new coal stove is handed over to the Li family in Zhaojun, our factory's profit will continue to increase." Zhang Jie said anxiously, "Gu Houye, there are several people in the factory. Thousands of people are waiting to eat."

"Isn't the factory quite stable?" Gu Qing wondered.

"Stable is stable." Zhang Jie sighed, "But who thinks money is too little?"

"Cameras can't be made on a large scale." Gu Qing said, "The bottom plate of the camera is made of silver-plated copper. Silver is easy to say, but copper can't be cast at will. You know that casting copper without permission is a serious crime. I have to If you dare to take this risk, one or two cameras is enough, no more."

"Master Hou, what about Liuli?"

"Glass is not good either." Gu Qing went on to say, "It's not too late for colored glaze to be popularized, and this is a heavy industry, and doing it in large quantities will pollute! I can't make it in the village."

"The perfume?"

"Perfume is not good either." Gu Qing directly refused, "Perfume requires high-concentration alcohol, which burns too much food. Although there is enough food and grass in the court, the surplus food in the hands of the people is not too rich. It will take a while."

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either." Zhang Jie lowered his head in frustration, "I'll continue to oversee the work."

"Wait." Gu Qing stopped and called Zhang Jie, "I'll make you something new.

"What?" Zhang Jie was excited again.

"Wait, I'll draw a blueprint for you." Gu Qing returned to the laboratory at home and started to work.

After Zhang Jie waited at Gu's house for more than half an hour, he finally saw the blueprint, but this blueprint made him gasp, "Master Hou, what the hell is this?"

"This thing is called an office..." Gu Qing hurriedly corrected the term, "This is actually a new kind of chair. It can be called a swivel chair and can be adjusted in height. There are wheels underneath to move things."

"Aww." Zhang Jie saw that it was nothing more than a few more wheels, and it was no big deal to look different. "Master Hou, is there any mystery about this?"

Gu Qing took out one of the exploded diagrams, "This chair can be adjusted in height, and people need different chairs depending on their height. There is a mechanism under this chair, and people can adjust the height after sitting. Of course, the height of this thing The mystery is here, and it is also the most difficult and hardest to do.”

"I see." Zhang Jie didn't know if this would sell well. Although the new furniture of the Gu family was very good, there were also imitations in Chang'an, but not many people used it.

"However, Lord Hou, is this thing really easy to sell?" Zhang Jie was still puzzled.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of sales." Gu Qing continued, "You have to remember the curvature on the back of the chair, it must be close to the back, so that people can sit comfortably on it.

"it is good!"

Zhang Jie was not in a particularly good mood holding the drawings, but at least there was something to make in the factory, and it was better than nothing.

After a few days of sunny days, a weak southeast wind blows, and the first drizzle falls on this land, and spring is here.

In the quiet Gu family, Li Zhi came to Gu Qing's laboratory, and this guy was still sound asleep.

"Gu Qing, it's time to wake up!" Li Zhi shook Gu Qing and said, "The court meeting is about to begin."

"His Royal Highness, let me sleep for a while, and I will be fine." Gu Qing murmured.

"The first court meeting in the new year, it's such an important matter, we can't delay it." Li Zhi continued to shake Gu Qing, "Be careful, Father, I won't spare you."

"I can't wait to resign." Gu Qing sat up straight helplessly, with a pair of dull eyes staring ahead under his messy hair, "What time is it?"

"It's time." Li Zhi said, "Hurry up."

Gu Qing washed his face with cold water to wake himself up quickly, took a deep breath of the fresh air outside the house, and fell asleep in the laboratory last night because he was so busy drawing musket drawings.

After taking a few mouthfuls of breakfast, Wu Mei helped Gu Qing put on his official uniform, "Today is the court meeting, my husband should be more decent."

"I see." Gu Qing nodded and said.

After tidying up Gu Qing's official uniform, Wu Mei smiled winkingly, "Empress Changsun, let all our imperial wives also enter the palace, but it can be a few hours later."

"I'll go to the court meeting first, and after it's over, I'll accompany you to Empress Changsun."

After Gu Qing finished speaking, he got on his horse and went to the court meeting with Di Renjie, while Wu Mei at home was still busy with Li Zhi and Xiao Sizi going to meet Empress Changsun.

Di Renjie rode his horse all the way and said, "Teacher, the envoy sent by the new king of Persia should also arrive."

When they came to the city, after tying up their horses, the two walked into Chang'an City. Gu Qing asked Di Renjie, "Are you still keeping an eye on the monk's movements?"

"I'm staring at it." Di Renjie said in a low voice.

On the quiet Zhuque Street, before dawn, Di Renjie spoke again in doubt, "A group of alchemists came from Chang'an, and it is said that there are medicines for prolonging life."

"A medicine that prolongs life?"

"Yes." Di Renjie said, "It is said that one medicine can increase life expectancy by ten years, and it has sold a lot."

"Hehehe." Gu Qing sneered, "Keep an eye on these alchemists, if anyone has a problem with eating, arrest them immediately."

"Student understands." Di Renjie nodded.

Di Renjie walked into Dali Temple, Gu Qing came to Chengtian Gate, and saw a group of ministers looking at him strangely.

"Shang Shuling is really in good health." Doctor Yushi said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Gu Qing looked at the other party.

Everyone is also smiling.

"It's just right to be young."

"Yes, yes, it's a pity that the old man is getting old."

"How happy are dozens of people from Qingguan serving together."

……

Hearing these words, Gu Qing's face turned black and he looked at Cheng Yaojin who was beside him, while the other party was digging his nails leisurely and still whistling, what is tolerable or unbearable!
