A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Gu family

Gu Qing took a hot bath and put on a warm coat. He lay on the recliner and watched the snowstorm, took a sip of wine and said to the scene: "You can't chase the past, don't rush the future. Don't worry about the outside world." Seven or eight things, let's drink two or three cups as much as possible."

"Good poetry, good poetry." Li Tai also came out from the sauna.

The two looked at the snow scene together, and Fan Jian walked up and said, "Patriarch, we have a guest."

"Who's coming from the snowy day?"

"It's Chu Suiliang who ordered Zhongshu." Fan Jian said in a low voice, "He also brought a gift."

"Why is he here?" Gu Qing looked at the heavy snow in doubt, "Hurry up and let someone come in."

"Yes!"

After a while, Chu Suiliang came to Gu Qing's side, looking at Gu Qing who was enjoying a leisurely life, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, "It's still your Gu Qing's life that is unrestrained, I'm not as good as you and His Royal Highness Wei Wang after busying in the court. liquor."

"I'm also very busy." Li Tai also said, "If the academy didn't suspend my studies, how could I come here."

A few days ago, Li Chengqian gave Li Er a small report, and this fat man still has some psychological shadows.

"Gu Qing, how is your family all these years?" Chu Suiliang asked in a low voice.

"Very well, I'm sorry to miss you." Gu Qing cupped his hands again and again and said, "As long as we don't talk about the court affairs today, you are still Lao Chu, come! Sit down and have a drink."

"Okay!" Chu Suiliang didn't hesitate to sit down and drink wine, "Gu Qing, do you think there is anyone richer than you in Datang?"

"The emperor's family is the richest, what am I?" Gu Qing took the hot wine from Fan Jian and poured it for Chu Suiliang, "This is rice wine from the south. some."

Chu Suiliang drank it in one gulp, "it moistens the mouth, and it warms the body after drinking it.".

"Changed the subject." Gu Qing looked at Chu Suiliang, "Why did you come to me today?"

"Didn't you let me tell you?" Chu Suiliang drank his drink comfortably.

Chapter 9 and Eleven Harbor Scenes

It seemed that what Chu Suiliang was going to talk about was really a matter of the court, Gu Qing smiled wryly, "Then don't talk about it, Lao Chu's life has been in a hurry for decades, and you are in your 30s, have you thought about how you will live in the future?"

"I never thought about it. The things in front of me make me feel anxious. What do you make me think?" Chu Suiliang said with a wry smile, "Everyone has their own way of life, just like you Gu Qing, you like such a leisurely life, I If you want to become a character like Fang Xiang, everyone has his own ambitions, so why should he think about it."

"It's good to say that everyone has their own ambitions." Li Tai stretched his waist, "I don't have much ambition. I will spend the rest of my life in the academy."

"Gu Qing." Chu Suiliang whispered, "Do you think people in the future will remember us?"

Gu Qing smiled and said nothing, Chu Suiliang's question is actually easy to answer, and he will definitely remember it!Taking history as a mirror is a truth. How many dynasties have risen and fallen in the Central Plains, and the hard work of the predecessors is the precipitation of history. .

The words stopped for a while, and the village was very quiet. The heavy snow continued to fall, and occasionally the laughter of children could be heard.

Fuzheng came to the East China Sea in the ranks of civilian husbands. Looking at the huge port, he was shocked. The people who passed the word here were beating drums and horns. At a glance, huge buildings stood on this port. It can be compared to a royal palace, and the folks who come here are all amazed.

"It's amazing here. It was still desolate when I came here last time." The man who spoke was coming here for the second time, and some of the people who set sail for the first time last year also came here for the second time.

The mansion is standing among the crowd and looking at everything here. It seems that there are still many places under construction. It seems that this grandeur is just a prototype, and it will be even more majestic when it arrives.

There are more than a dozen shelves more than ten meters high that move huge wooden beams, and there are only three people who operate them. The students of the academy have exhausted what they have learned in the academy and used a series of knowledge such as levers to use the necessary resources of this port. The measures have been built, from the humble beginning to the completeness now.

Fuzheng squatted down, with his palms pressed against the ground of the port. The ground here was very flat. The cold wind blew through the frozen sleet, the sea breeze howled, and the waves beat against the neat row of ships preparing for long-distance voyage. Both sides are filled with artillery, and the pitch-black muzzle declares the strongest military power of the Tang Dynasty. There are also a handful of muskets that have been put into use this time. The military power here is comparable to the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty. Using these equipment to conquer Not to mention a country.

Fuzheng was at a loss as to how far the times had come. After coming to this place full of unprecedented things, what he had always believed in was shaken for the first time.

"Do you know? It is said that the transformation here is presided over by master Yan Liben, and is led by the current Prime Minister Gu Qing." Someone said.

"I also heard that it is said that the port will be expanded ten times, and it will take several years to complete it." Another person said.

……

Listening to the turbulent conversations around me, until a few young people who were only fifteen or sixteen years old came here and asked everyone to keep quiet.

Fuzheng was surprised again. He originally thought that the management of this place should be some older and respected people, but he didn't expect it to be such a few children. It was some children who were actually directing the place while looking around.

And these children are obviously from the academy.

After checking that there were no gaps in the number of people on the list, the student in front of him said to the civilians, "You have three days to adapt to the life here. I know you have to rush to get on the boat, but many of you are not familiar with the situation at sea. I have experienced seasickness, lack of water, and insufficient food. You must exercise here, ensure enough sleep every day, and eat delicious food! After three days, you will board the boat to the East China Sea, and follow me to the resting place."

The government is following the characters, led by the child.

A young man in his 20s whispered to Fuzheng, "Where is this big brother from?"

"I'm from Youzhou." Fuzheng replied with some embarrassment.

"I also have relatives in Youzhou. Let me tell you that the establishment depends on the knowledge of the academy. My son is seven years old this year, and he will be able to enter the academy next year." He spoke with longing in his eyes, looking forward to In the future, my children can also do things that ordinary people can't do like the students here.

The mansion is coming to the camp where the civilian husband rests. He thought it would be so messy, but he didn't expect it to be very clean, even cleaner than ordinary people's homes.

"Everyone stand in line!" An officer commanded, "Here you have to receive training before going to sea. I know you will think that it is unnecessary. If you don't train well now, you will wait until you are at sea. You have suffered."

Some people listened casually, but Fuzheng listened very seriously.

The officer went on to say, "Three days of training, if I find that anyone can't adapt to the long-term boat ride, or gets seasick, you will be sent back immediately. It's not what you want at sea. It's as simple as crossing the river by boat. The current situation is something you have never seen before, and what you have to face is a vast ocean."

Speaking of this, I saw a cook bringing bucket after bucket of food. Everyone saw that there were big fish and meat in it. There was so much meat that ordinary people couldn't eat for a year.

The officer said again, "At sea, you can only eat meat, and at most you will be given dried and pickled vegetables, which are already very good, so you have to get used to it in advance."

The first meal here was big fish and meat, which even Fuzheng didn't expect.

In a house at the port, in front of Yan Liben is a model of the entire port. The expansion of the port is still in progress. Listening to the reports from the students around him, the manpower for the second sea trip this year has already arrived.

Yan Liben withdrew his mind and said, "There are a lot of things going to sea this time, how many people did Gu Qing Factory send over here?"

"Five hundred are the backbone sent by the factory, ten foremen, and others are factory workers, and the remaining [-] are civilian husbands."

"All the factory affairs are arranged by themselves." Yan Liben took out a letter and said, "Give this letter to Gu Qing and send it out."

"Yes!"

Yan Liben looked at the port model in front of him, the progress of the port construction has slowed down too much, the main reason is the insufficient allocation of manpower, and he really wants to expand the manpower, but the port construction is not a matter of the court, it is Gu Qing's own matter, if It is obviously inappropriate to recruit people on a large scale, after all, there is no intention of the court.

Chapter 9: How Big is Gu Qing's Appetite?

Leave this trouble to Gu Qing. Yan Liben didn't want to take care of it. He hoped that Gu Qing would take care of it. He knew in his heart how much money was spent on the construction of the port, and he also knew the pressure on Gu Qing. Most of Gu Qing’s money is spent here. I hope that Gu Qing can solve the problem of manpower and money. I also hope that Gu Qing will not give up the next expansion of the port because of money. when.

Yan Liben was worried, hoping that Gu Qing could understand the meaning of the letter.

Changan Gujia

Gu Qing bid farewell to Chu Suiliang and Li Tai, and Wu Mei came with the account book, "Husband, can you wait a little longer for the money at the port?"
