A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"I understand." Li Chengqian nodded.

"Your Majesty actually received a memorial from the Ministry of Education today." Chu Suiliang took out another copy and said, "Although this memorial is not signed, the words on it are somewhat interesting."

Li Chengqian also took it and looked at it, "Give up the control of salt and iron. If the control of salt and iron is loosened, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"I have also thought about this issue." Chu Suiliang replied, "It's just that this idea is a bit premature. Nowadays, the iron ore in the Central Plains is still very scarce, and the mining is very slow. , Maybe it is really possible to relax the management of iron ore.”

Listening to the words, Li Chengqian shook his head, "I disagree with this idea, what does Gu Qing think about it?"

"I haven't shown it to him yet." Chu Suiliang replied.

"I see." Li Chengqian nodded.

Chu Suiliang asked the people around him strangely, "What day is it today?"

"what happened?"

"It's okay." Chu Suiliang thought about it, "Your Majesty feels weird today, you do things by yourself, and quickly leave the matter at hand."

"Yes!" Zhongshu Sheng started to get busy again.

When Li Chengqian came to Shangshu Province, he was busier than Zhongshu Province, and officials here came in and out frequently.

They put the memorials issued by Zhongshu Province into various government offices.

Seeing Li Chengqian walking into Shangshu Province, everyone put down their work and stood up to salute.

"There's no need to be too polite." Li Chengqian said, "You all sit down, and then go about what you should do."

"Your Majesty." Xu Jingzong hurried forward, "Your Majesty, you are here..."

"I'm just here to see." Li Chengqian looked around, "Recently, the affairs of the court and China have been complicated, and you must be too busy here."

"Actually, it's all the same." Xu Jingzong smiled, "these days the court is very busy, except for the three provinces, the six ministries are all very busy, there are imperial examinations in the court, there are piles of awn seeds There are still many other things, such as the layout of the imperial examination room by the DPRK and China."

"I can see it."

Seeing that Li Chengqian really had nothing to order, Xu Jingzong went on busy with his own affairs.

Compared with the Zhongshu Province sitting firmly on Mount Tai, every official from the Shangshu Province here came to the Shangshu Province within only a cup of tea and immediately went out to start busy with the next thing.

Chaozhong is still the same.

Gu family

Gu Qing received a volume of letters, it was a letter from Changsun Wuji, the sinking person sat still, but the old fox couldn't hold back.

"Then what did the old fox say?" Cheng Chumo said as he gnawed on the fried chicken leg.

"The old fox said that he wanted me to bring a message to Dali Temple, saying that he wanted to release Tang Jian." Gu Qing was talking, "The old fox said that he was willing to hand over part of his family's iron ore business to me."

"Iron ore?" Cheng Chumo stared, "This is a hot potato."

"A few days ago, I sent a memorial to the court. Although Chu Suiliang didn't tell me, it's not clear who sent this memorial, and there is no signature!" Gu Qing said in a low voice.

"That's not right!" Cheng Chumo was puzzled, "How could a memorial without a signature and no reason enter the Ministry of Education?"

"The strange thing is here." Gu Qing smiled, "You said why there is an inexplicable memorial and inexplicably appeared on Chu Suiliang's desk in Zhongshu Province. Could it be that thieves have broken into the palace."

"It's hard to say!" Cheng Chumo nodded thoughtfully, "Why don't I go into the palace to investigate? There are thieves in the palace, this matter is no small matter."

"That's not a big deal!" Gu Qing nodded, "Chu Mo, hurry up and check, what if an assassin enters one day, it's okay, I suspect that the assassin is most likely arranged by King Wei, you can go all the way to find out from the beginning. Not sure what can be found, Chu Mo quickly seized this opportunity to make meritorious service."

"Okay!" Cheng Chumo stood up while biting the fried chicken leg, but suddenly thought about it and smiled and pointed at Gu Qing, "Gu Qing, you want to fool me!? I won't be fooled."

"Okay." Gu Qing changed his sitting position and shook the letter in his hand, "I'm talking about the letter sent by Changsun Wuji, this Changsun Wuji is still very knowledgeable, and he has already buried the thunder! Old Jianghu ,I admire you."

"Is there nothing you can do with him?"

"Chu Mo, what this grandson Wuji is holding is what I want." Gu Qing said while drinking tea, "I really want this iron ore, I really want it, I have a lot of things I want to do, and I can't do without it." The most important thing is iron ore, this iron is the core of future industry, and it cannot be lacking.”

"With the iron mine, I got a benefit that I was determined to get." Gu Qing said again, "Changsun Wuji has a trick in his tricks. The memorial before Chu Suiliang's case was arranged by Changsun Wuji a long time ago. He calculated it accurately. , He also accurately grasped me, he knows that I want this benefit very much!"

"Wait a minute." Cheng Chumo took a deep breath, "Gu Qing, don't you mean you want to follow the eldest grandson Wuji?"

"No!" Gu Qing shook his head.

"En!" Cheng Chumo nodded vigorously, "Gu Qing, I knew you were not that kind of person!"

"But!" Gu Qing turned around, "This benefit of his really makes me want to stop! It's so charming, special mine! With iron ore, I can build railways, specialize in steam engines, generators, and Lots and lots of stuff."

"Gu Qing!" Cheng Chumo worried.

"I am a good person, but I have a big appetite, and one bite is not enough for me." Gu Qing said deceitfully, "I want this benefit too. After the development of firearms, the iron ore business will naturally open up. I want to eat the fruit and benefits of taboo, but I will not let people go!"

"Eat it all and refuse to admit it?" Cheng Chumo gasped, "You really are not a good person."

"I usually don't say it." Gu Qing said with a smirk, "Being a low-key person, I can't let Tang Jian go after eating. As for his eldest grandson Wuji, since this old fox has shown all the benefits, I am not Vegetarian, I will make him lose his wife and lose his army this time! When the play is over, I will come and see if his eldest grandson Wuji's old face is green or white."

Chapter 651 Li Er's tricks

Cheng Chumo slapped the table and said, "Okay! Let's rob the iron mine of Changsun's family. Gu Qing will take the lead, and I will show you off."

"Hahahaha!" Gu Qing laughed loudly, "Come see someone off!"

Cheng Chumo left Gu's house loudly, and Gu Qingchang sighed, "Chumo is getting more and more spirited, let me take the lead in showing him off? People's hearts are not old, and the legendary plastic brothers are nothing more than that."

"That's right! It's too bad!" Xiao Si also echoed.

"Princess Jinyang, why are you here?" Gu Qing looked back at Xiao Sizi.

"Mingda has been listening to Big Brother Gu Qing and Big Brother Chu Mo all the time." The little sizi spoke in a ghostly manner, "Brother Chu Mo actually let Big Brother Gu Qing take the lead, and he let himself go! It's really bad, hmph!"

"Princess Jinyang, do you really understand what we are talking about?" Gu Qing asked back.

"Mingda understood." Xiao Sizi blinked playfully, then walked into the backyard with small steps.

When it's over, Gu Qing feels like he's done something wrong. The once simple Princess Jinyang seems to have learned badly?I wondered in my heart, who did I learn from, could it be the kid Li Zhi?No, Li Zhi is too honest, Gao Yang?

Thinking of this, Gu Qing stood up melancholy, "Fan Jian, come here."

"What did the Patriarch order?" Fan Jian bowed over.

Gu Qing said hesitantly: "You send someone to find out where the iron mines of Changsun's family are, and when you find them, write down the location of all the iron mines in their family and give them to me."

"Yes!" Fan Jian went to work immediately.

Xiao Si took Wu Mei's hand and was about to pick wild vegetables together, "Sister Wu Mei, brother Chu Mo and brother Gu Qing just said that they would rob the eldest grandson's family's iron ore business."
