A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"That's what you said when we were drinking with me yesterday. It only takes a few hours to travel from Chang'an to Luoyang with the speed of kilometers per hour." Cheng Chumo said, "I heard it with my own ears."

"Haha." Gu Qing gave a strange laugh, "You must have drunk too much, you misheard, Uncle Cheng made way for me to go home."

"Wait!" Cheng Yaojin called to stop Gu Qing, "I heard that you said in the court that you want to manage horse affairs, and that your academy has made a thing called an engine. Gu Qing, talk to this old man. Tell me what the hell this engine is."

"This..." Gu Qing smiled wryly, "Uncle Cheng's tricks are really good, I admire them."

"Then let's talk." Cheng Yaojin put on a posture.

Seeing Cheng Chumo blocked the door, he would definitely not be able to break through, so he had to say: "Actually, the current engine is just a prototype, and it still needs a period of polishing. If the efficiency needs to be improved, the accuracy of the engine must be improved. It is also necessary to improve the technology of steelmaking. If the efficiency is improved, the requirements for steel will be very, very high."

"So there is such a thing as an engine." Cheng Yaojin pondered, "When will it be made?"

"This..." Gu Qing said in embarrassment, "I won't be able to do it for a while, and I guess it will take 34 years of research."

"so long?"

"It's not so easy, it's not so easy." Gu Qing said again, "The development cost alone is tens of millions, which is an astronomical figure, but if you can make money, it will be a huge profit!"

Speaking of this, Gu Qing came here and said to Cheng Yaojin with interest, "If Uncle Cheng can invest millions of dollars in shares, maybe the engine can be made a few years earlier."

"Millions?" Cheng Yaojin's tone was three points higher, "Where do you think my old Cheng's money came from? Chu Mo."

"The baby is here!" Cheng Chumo responded loudly.

"see a visitor out!"

Gu Qing looked at Cheng Chumo and then at Cheng Yaojin, what did the two mean, "Uncle Cheng, if you have something to say, don't do it, it's just millions of guan, if you can't get hundreds of thousands of guan, it's not impossible to discuss."

"You kid is full of big talk, do you really think this old man is stupid? The old man Qian, who is a member of Haimao, hasn't paid back his money yet."

"The kid will leave."

"roll!"

Gu Qing trotted all the way out of Cheng's mansion, still panting heavily, fortunately Cheng Yaojin was quite straightforward, to be honest, the engine is too early, today's technology is impossible to make, the train can try, but There are too many things that need to be done, and there is no such opportunity right now. Let’s start with tractors first. As long as we start this, the road to industry can also start.

Cheng Yaojin walked into the yard, the breeze blew through his head, and muttered, "No, I obviously wanted Gu Qing to hand over the engine, but why did I drive Gu Qing out by myself? I obviously wanted the engine, so why did I get involved? The engine is gone!"

"It's not good! It's a trick!" Cheng Yaojin repented, "Chu Mo, quickly bring this kid Gu Qing back."

What does an engine mean, something that can be moved without being pulled by an animal, as long as the engine comes out, it will definitely sell well, what to do with the engine, and that kid Gu Qing got himself into it.

Not long after Gu Qing left Cheng's mansion, a group of soldiers and horses immediately appeared in front of him and surrounded him.

Li Xiaogong walked up with a wine gourd and said, "Boy Gu, where are you going?"

"I've seen the King of Hejian County." Gu Qing said quickly, "Seeing that the sky is going to rain, and the boy's clothes have not been confiscated, let's go first!"

Whoa!

Dozens of guards drew their swords in unison, scaring the passers-by and fleeing in all directions. Gu Qing felt terrified when he saw the posture, could it be that this Li Xiaogong wanted to chop himself up?It's not right after thinking about it, I think I came here from the maritime trade elements, and I haven't had time to do it yet.

"Oh, today's weather is very good." Li Xiaogong said with a sigh, "Gu boy, there are a few more barbarian singers in this old man's house recently, come to this old man's house to get drunk!"

"That..." Gu Qing pretended to be in pain and rubbed his forehead, "The kid hasn't sobered up from the wine yesterday, it seems that he is too strong to drink. The kid wants to go home and rest. Please let the prince of Hejian let the kid go back."

"Come here!" Li Xiaogong yelled loudly, "Bring the boy to the old man's house."

"What!?"

Cheng Chumo hurried to see Gu Qing being carried away by dozens of strong men, and immediately said to the attendants beside him, "Call our family's guards immediately, and kill them at the Hejian County Prince's Mansion!"

"Yes!"

I really want to cry, this is what Gu Qing is thinking now, why is it like this, this posture...it's so embarrassing, it looks like more than a dozen strong men are carrying themselves back to the village to be the wife of the village.

Along the way, Li Xiaogong asked Gu Qing in a low voice, "Boy Gu, what is an engine?"

"What?" Gu Qing was dumbfounded again, how did Li Xiaogong know, how did so many people know about an engine.

When he came to Li Xiaogong's house, Gu Qingluo worked, Li Xiaogong's family was also very wealthy, these days doing business with him, Li Xiaogong also made a lot of money.

"Hahaha!" Li Xiaogong said loudly, "Serve the wine, serve the good wine!"

Why does it feel a bit like a celebration banquet? Gu Qing sighed, who can save me?

"What are you doing with a dark face!" Li Xiaogong shouted.

"The kid doesn't have a dark face." Gu Qing choked up and said, "The kid is just counting the area of ​​​​my psychological shadow, right! How did you know the news about the engine?"

"It's not that kid Li Tai." Li Xiaogong said, "The academy has made an engine, and that kid is just screaming."

"Miscalculation!"

Chapter 9 and Five

Thinking that Li Tai came to Chang'an to do something, this kid was here to feel embarrassed, Gu Qing clutched his forehead in pain, why didn't he think of this aspect, looking at Li Xiaogong who was looking aside, he was still thinking about who could come to save him.

"Don't think about it, and don't look outside the door. No one can save you today." Li Xiaogong grinned as he drank his drink, "Speaking of which, you kid has been in Chang'an for so many years, why don't you have a heart, old man Cheng Yaojin What kind of character, you are not asking for trouble when dealing with him."

"Why did you say that?" Gu Qing asked.

"Ask knowingly." Li Xiaogong said while drinking alone, "Look at the virtues of Cheng Yaojin and his gang, how does he understand love and beauty? How does he understand sophistication of the world, he keeps his mouth open all day long, nothing at all Ink stars."

"It's oily star!" Gu Qing emphasized.

"Whatever he is." Li Xiaogong took out a Mo Dao more than one meter long from somewhere, sat down in front of Gu Qing and said, "Boy Gu, you are a learned person. A learned man, do you understand now?"

"I don't understand." Gu Qing nodded vigorously.

"You." Li Xiaogong pointed to Gu Qing, then pointed to himself, "You and I are people of the same path, we can definitely come together, but it's a pity that you have been abused by Cheng Yaojin for so many years."

"Trouble speaking, can you please speak carefully?" Gu Qing said with a dark face, "Waste, this kind of word is not used in this way."

"Really?" Li Xiaogong stroked the beard on his chin.

Gu Qing nodded vigorously, Li Xiaogong's brain circuit seems to be a bit long, and he still has a bit of logical genius.

Li Xiaogong pulled out the long knife in his hand and said, "Gu Qing, what do you think of this old man's knife?"

"Very good." Gu Qing nodded again.

Without putting down the knife in his hand, Li Xiaogong said again, "Are you doing business with Mr. Cheng again?"

"No, no." Gu Qing waved his hands again and again, "Well, can you give me some water? I'm thirsty."

"Oh!" Li Xiaogong slapped the table as if he had come to his senses, "I just drank it by myself, forget about you kid, come and serve the wine, good wine."
