A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Yes." Li Zhi said again, "I've thought about it several times over the past few days. In fact, I don't care about the construction of Guqing Port, especially the folks here. How about it, our Maritime Trade Department can’t be a hands-off shopkeeper like Gu Qing, first integrate all the interests, and then distribute them, and follow the rules! This is my idea, I can continue to implement various measures to reduce Gu Qing's influence will allow the Maritime Trade Department to gain more status in the hearts of those civilians, and this is what I want to do."

Shangguanyi still agrees with Li Zhi's idea. This step must be taken. Li Zhi's temperament is lack of decisiveness. The Maritime Trade Department is a place that wants to take charge of the world's maritime trade. Huge port. In the future, the status of the Maritime Trade Department will not be worse than that of the three provinces of North Korea and China. Although it is not an official, it is in charge of the world's sea trade. , The transportation of manpower is almost all managed by the waterway in charge of the Maritime Trade Department. Shangguanyi thought in his heart that the Maritime Trade Department would definitely become a giant in three years.

Chapter 758 Meeting the Alliance

"Actually, I'm not sure about the steps on the dossier, and I still want Uncle Shangguan to check it out." Li Zhi spoke hesitantly, "I feel that some actions are still too tough."

Shangguanyi looked up and down and talked to Li Zhi about the details.

After talking with Shangguanyi in the Maritime Trade Department for most of the day, he already had a general direction in his mind, and after sorting it out, he went to Gu's house.

"Uncle Jin Wang is back." Little Gu Xiao stepped forward to greet him, "Why did you come back so late today?"

"Busy about some affairs of the Maritime Trade Department." Li Zhi stretched his waist and said, "Your father didn't know that I helped you with the topic."

"I guess he already saw it but didn't ask too much." Little Gu Xiao whispered, "Uncle Jin, you said those simplified characters, why does my father always let me learn them all day long, and it's useless."

"Your father." Li Zhi led Gu Xiao into the study, "He always does half of what he does, and you don't need to ask too much about some things."

"Anyway, I'm still confused." Xiao Gu Xiao said, "Uncle Jin, you said that I am a Duke of the state, and my father is just a prince. Am I older than my father?"

Li Zhi thought about it and said, "In terms of title, your position is indeed higher than your father's."

"Then my father should listen to me." Little Gu Xiaoyou said, "My father asks me to do the questions every day, and he has nothing to do all day long. I think he is either sleeping or in a daze."

Li Zhi shook his head with a bitter smile, "Do you know how your father built this family business? Do you know what your father was like before?"

"Tell me about my father's past." Xiao Gu Xiao sat at Li Zhi's desk.

"Gu Qing." Li Zhi recalled, "It's really interesting to say, the first time I met Gu Qing, the rabbit I raised passed away."

"How did you die?"

"I was blown to death by Gu Qing." Li Zhi said with a smile unconsciously, "The second time I met your father, my tortoise..."

"Did it die in my father's hands?" Little Gu Xiao became interested.

"That's not true, but it can be regarded as death at the hands of your father, and it was made into Guiling Cream." Li Zhi continued, "I have heard many things from others. Your father wandered with your genius doctor grandfather since childhood. When I arrived in Chang'an in [-], I started to make a fortune."

"In the beginning your father was still a 14-year-old boy. He didn't even have a home and was dependent on others. He..."

Li Zhi talked about one thing about Gu Qing before, all the way to Dali Temple, little Gu Xiao couldn't stop laughing, "My father really enters Dali Temple every three days?"

"Your father made many troubles when he was young." Li Zhi sighed, "The longest one was when my father imprisoned him for half a year, and that was also the last time that General Li Jing went to war."

"It's time to eat." Gao Yang interrupted their conversation, "What are you two talking about?"

"Er Niang!" Little Gu Xiao called out very obediently, and hurriedly left to come to the dinner table.

Di Renjie came with his wife and children and Li Ran.

"Can the child speak?" Wu Mei looked at the child in Di Renjie's wife's arms.

"I'll be calling you parents." Li Wan'er said.

"Let's all sit down, let's all sit down." Sun Simiao liked the feeling of having a family meal together, it was very lively and there were a lot of laughs.

During the meal, little Gu Xiao asked Di Renjie in a low voice, "Uncle Di, did my father often go to Dali Temple?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." The sudden question caused Di Renjie to choke on something in his throat. After a while, he swallowed and took another sip of soup to see if Gu Qing didn't notice. He said to little Gu Xiao, "Teacher used to When I have nothing to do, I like to go to Dali Temple.”

"Go shopping?" Little Gu Xiao smiled ghostly, "Have you been shopping for half a year?"

Di Renjie put down his chopsticks and let out a long sigh, "In fact, everything happens for a reason."

"Aw~" Little Gu Xiao nodded meaningfully.

Di Renjie smiled and put a piece of braised pork into little Gu Xiao's bowl, "Don't talk while eating, you'll choke like I did just now."

After eating, Gu Qing sat in the yard of his house with a teacup in his hand, looking at the sky full of stars, Fan Jian came with a blanket, "Patriarch, it's cold at night, you'll catch a cold."

"It's really cold at night." Gu Qing tightened his clothes. ,

"The manpower has been taken back, and eyeliner has been left around King Wu. His Highness King Wu was taken into the residence this afternoon, and he hasn't come out yet."

Gu Qing nodded slightly.

"The manpower has been arranged to go to Soochow. They are all veterans with more than ten years of undercover information. They are very clever in handling things. The monk picked them by himself." Fan Jian continued, "Although there is no decree from the court, the Ministry of Rites and the clan's mansion, the Central Shuxing is already arranging for the mother and concubine who is the king of Wu to be removed, and she will leave Daming Palace in three days."

There have always been hidden eyeliners in the palace. The monk has placed more than a dozen court ladies in the palace, and several of them have become servants.

"I know, there must be some changes in these three days, just wait and see." Gu Qing said, "That person means that I want me to kill the hidden dangers in the cradle, whether it is in Soochow or Chang'an, Daming Palace and King Wu’s side must keep an eye on other places, it doesn’t matter, if there is such a sign, do it immediately, don’t have too many worries, these things we are going to do are also instructed by him.”

Fan Jian was a little puzzled.

Gu Qing continued, "He knows the existence of the dark thread, but he doesn't know much."

"I understand what to do." Fan Jian nodded.

"It's not yet winter, why does it feel so cold?"

While packing some dried herbs, Sun Simiao said, "This year's winter will not be easy."

"Master, do you think this winter will be particularly cold?"

"Yes, it will be longer and colder than previous winters."

West of Tubo

This is the junction of Tubo and Persia, and a platform was built at this place. Pei Xingjian, as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty who presided over the alliance, sat in the upper seat, and Xue Rengui led three thousand soldiers to guard him.

More than half an hour has passed, and the envoy sent by Persia still hasn't arrived.

The envoy from Tianzhu couldn't sit still anymore, and said, "Dare to ask why the envoy from Persia hasn't arrived yet."

While speaking, there was the sound of horseshoes, and a group of soldiers came riding.

"Here we come." Pei Xingjian was still sitting, looking at the person coming.

The one who came to Persia was none other than the garrison general sent by Datang to Persia back then, Li Daliang's son, Li Fengjie.

He didn't get off his horse on the spot, but looked at Pei Xingjian who was sitting on top and said, "Who are you! That kid Gu Qingren, why didn't he come to host the peace talks."

"Master Gu doesn't have time to come here." Pei Xingjian also said with a smile, "The court appointed me to come down for peace talks, and I'm the Minister of the Ministry of War, Pei Xingjian."

"I'm Li Fengjie." He rode his horse and pulled the rein and still had no intention of dismounting, "Chaozhong treated me like an object and left me in that wretched place in Persia for so many years. Playing prestige on me!?"
