A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Little Gu Xiao was a little confused.

All the way to the bamboo forest outside the village, little Gu Xiao took out the wooden sword he was wearing, "How do I learn it?"

"Start with very simple movements." Zhang Yugong looked at the posture of little Gu Xiao holding the sword and said, "It's too stiff, the arms should be natural and relaxed..."

Yang Sheng watched Zhang Yugong teach Xiao Gu Xiao his skills from a distance, and he became interested.

The fat monk also watched from a distance, "It seems that Zhang Yugong is going to stay with this child."

"That's what Gu Qing planned." Yang Sheng said in a low voice, "How's the business of Pen Studio?"

"The dwarf is in charge, I don't have anything to do." The fat monk tightened his clothes, "The weather is very cold, let's go back quickly."

"Let's go." Yang Sheng looked back again.

After the Green Gang disbanded, the fat monk relaxed a lot, and the smiles on his face began to increase, and he returned to his previous appearance, lazy and shrewd.

The middle court began to take a rest, and Chu Suiliang was busy preparing for the family banquet when he saw Shangguanyi who came in a hurry, "Brother Shangguan."

Shangguanyi held a roll of drawings in his hand and said to Chu Suiliang, "Speak in another place."

Seeing Shangguanyi's expression, Chu Suiliang also said, "Come in."

"It's lively at home." Following Chu Suiliang into the house, Shangguanyi looked enviously at the excitement in his yard.

"It's all relatives, some from faraway places." Chu Suiliang smiled and made Shangguanyi a cup of hot tea, "Sometimes when people are middle-aged, they cherish their relatives even more."

Knowing the hints in Chu Suiliang's words, Shangguanyi smiled wryly. Most of the time, she was alone, withdrawing her mind and spreading out the huge scroll. The scroll is more like a map, a map with the territory of the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding small countries.

Chu Suiliang looked at the spread map and wondered, "What does this mean?"

"This is an idea of ​​mine, and it's also what His Royal Highness Jin Wang said." Shangguanyi pointed to the dotted line he drew on the map and said, "We have been worried about the problem of money in the Central Plains. Gu Qing can't bear the pressure, right?"

"That's right." Chu Suiliang nodded.

"That's it." Shangguanyi went on to say: "In fact, Gu Qing has already discovered his own problem, but he can live with it for a few years. When the branch factory in Wa country is opened, he can receive the money back. As for the current solution, there is indeed a solution. , Open up a bank!"

"The bank?" Chu Suiliang was puzzled.

"That's right, it's the bank. This bank is different from the small banks and pawnshops in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. It has a part of the function of the household department." Shangguanyi continued, "Do you still remember what Gu Qing said at the time, it was run by the people?"

"I remember." Chu Suiliang said, "There are indeed many private workshops, but they are all small-scale. If factories of Gu Qing's scale can appear in the Central Plains one after another, the situation will be much better. Said it has never been implemented.”

Shangguanyi nodded slightly, "Open the world's number one bank and manage all the banks in the world! Whether it is money loans or deposits, all banks are under unified control. All banks in important counties are banned, and the establishment of private workshops is encouraged."

"Wait!" Chu Suiliang interrupted Shangguanyi, "I need too much money, and the court may not be able to afford it."

"Money is not a problem." Shangguanyi took a sip of hot tea, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang said this, and His Royal Highness Jin Wang overheard it from Gu Qing."

"Gu Qing wants to open a bank? No!" Chu Suiliang immediately said, "This person cannot open such a bank."

"I know what you are worried about. I also think that this matter must be presided over by Chaozhong." Shangguanyi nodded, "But Gu Qing had expected that you would be like this, so he let His Royal Highness King Jin know about this matter." Let me know because of this, do you understand what Gu Qing means now?"

"Is he bragging about himself?"

"Yes."

"This Gu Qing is really interesting." Chu Suiliang let out a long breath, "I feel relieved now, and I understand your thoughts. Probably, if you use the bank to drive the flow of money in the entire counties, you don't have to worry about Gu Qing's family. Dominant situation."

Chapter 9 Fourteen

"Yes." Shangguanyi sighed, "The current situation is that Gu Qing is carrying too much. If there is a place where Gu Qing's money can be diverted again, the situation can be eased quickly."

"Next year we will put this strategy on the court." Chu Suiliang decided immediately, "There are three prerequisites, first: the court does not have so much money to support it, except for supplies from the court, the Gu family must come to support, and the court can give Gu Qing made a profit."

"Yes, I will find a way to persuade Gu Qing. Since this plan is made by Gu Qing, he must be willing to follow suit." Shangguanyi nodded.

"Second!" Chu Suiliang said again, "The head of Yushitai and Shang Shuxing will preside over the investigation of all the banks in the world. All dirty ones will be closed, and the central government will start to ban them! Old banks can continue to operate, but they must also be closed by the central government. Monitor."

"This matter is a bit troublesome." Shangguanyi thought about it, "It will take time to arrange it for a while."

"Don't worry too much about this. Although there is a lack of backbones in the court, there is no shortage of officials. The imperial examination has brought many officials to the court." Chu Suiliang said, "I am most worried about the third point. Most of them are backed by the dignitaries, and the officials have to take care of those dignitaries, which is what bothers me the most.”

"Let Gu Qing do it." Shangguanyi said without hesitation.

Chu Suiliang also smiled knowingly, "That's right, only Gu Qing can do it."

Many dignitaries have stumbled in the hands of Gu Qing. Of course, many dignitaries are also frustrated and helpless towards Gu Qing. Whoever let Gu Qing have Li Shimin's trust first can let Gu Qing let go. Now they are powerful again. Now these dignitaries Each of them shrunk their necks, fearing that the murderous Gu Qing would hand over the knife. At the beginning, a report was rewarded to deal with the investigation of the acres of land, and the powerful were forced to have nowhere to go.

"Then it's settled." Shangguanyi said, "Let's think about some details."

After the snow, the city of Chang'an is completely white, and the East China Sea

Fuzheng finally passed the training and boarded the ship to go to sea. This time, dozens of people were eliminated from the training. No matter how they explained, the port still did not allow them to go to sea, which made many people puzzled. academy students.

start sailing!

More than 30 large ships were headed towards the Wa country by the monsoon, and Fuzheng noticed that the leader of each ship, the captain, had a small compass in his hand.

Fuzheng knew Qimen Dunjia, and he also knew about the compass, but after a few careful observations, he found that the compass in the hands of these captains had only one needle, and it was very small. It is said that this thing is called a compass. It is easy to get lost on the ocean, and the compass is inseparable.

The sea breeze was very cold, and Fuzheng and a group of civilians went down to the cabin to keep warm together. The food in the boat was dry food, and the water source was strictly controlled.

After three full days, Fuzheng is familiar with everything here. There are three things that are most important in the sea. The first is the compass, the second is the water source, and the third is food. Sea water is not drinkable, only brought Drinkable water, and dried vegetables, there are always some vegetables in everyone's meal, although the most meat on board.

People in Guanzhong also like to eat meat, but the old men on the ship force them to eat vegetables for every meal. If they don’t eat vegetables for a long time at sea, they will get sick. There is also a doctor on every ship. The plague can only be thrown into the sea, and the cabin is closed and it is easy for the plague to break out.

It's no wonder that everyone is very relaxed before going out to sea, and everything becomes very important after going out to sea.

In the middle of the night, Fuzheng couldn't sleep and stood on the deck with the sea breeze blowing, looking at the sea under the moonlight. The sparkling sea surface was beautiful under the moonlight.

Immediately afterwards, a gigantic fish jumped out of the sea, and then dived into the sea again. This scene made Fuzheng stunned for a while.

"What are you doing?" The patrolling officers and soldiers came to Fuzheng's side, "I'm about to arrive in Wa Kingdom, go to bed quickly."

"The villain can't sleep and went out to sea for the first time." Fuzheng said with a smile, "The fish just now was so big."

"I've seen even bigger ones." The soldier said with some pride, "When I went to Goguryeo with Gu Houye, I saw Xuanwu outside Shanhaiguan. The Xuanwu was as big as a hill. Words."

"Xuanwu?" Fuzheng was surprised, "Is there really Xuanwu in this world?"

"God knows." The soldier laughed and said to Shudu, "At that time, Master Hou said that it was either Xuanwu or a lost sea turtle. Go to bed quickly. The sea breeze is very cold at night, so don't get sick."

"Understood, I'll go back now." Fuzheng returned to the cabin, recalling what the soldier said, Xuanwu!The sea turtle half the size of the hill, the magic of the ocean lingered in his mind, and strengthened his idea of ​​looking for Penglai Xiandao.

Half a month later, the fleet came to the coast of the country of Wa, and the government was watching that there were many small people of the country of Wa working here. Only when they came here did the peasants know that the people in Guanzhong here did not need to do any work at all, some hard work was tiring. All the work is done by Japanese people.

"Don't worry everyone, I'm here to be your uncle, and all the dirty work will be done by those short Japanese people. I just took a day off when I went ashore, and I will officially start work tomorrow." Wu Laoqi said with a smile and shouted, The commander of the people went to rest.
