Gu Qing didn't expect to help Song Gensheng become an official through the scientific examination, which was too unrealistic.

In the early Tang Dynasty, scholars wanted to be officials, but they needed to be recommended by the gate valve, and after they became famous, they became officials by investing in the bank rolls to the powerful people, which caused most of the officialdom in the early Tang Dynasty to be the henchmen of the gate valve, either this or that, and even Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong had to be afraid of the gate valve.

Later, Wu Zetian called the emperor, this strange woman is quite courageous, she recruited the children of the Han family, vigorously promoted the scientific examination, suppressed the arrogance of the gate valves, under her rule, the power of the gate valves was weakened by her a lot, the central court of the Tang Dynasty was finally able to hold the power of the world tightly in the palm of the hand, to achieve the effect of the imperial court on the local arm.

When today's son Li Longji was able to create a prosperous era after ascending the throne, his own hard work was certainly one of the reasons, and the other reason was naturally that his predecessors cleared the obstacles for him and laid the foundation for the prosperous era.

Scientific research has now become the main way for Datang to enter the government, but it is difficult for Song Gensheng.

He is a scholar, but he has not read so many books, and if he wants to become an official, he can only start from the basics. To be honest, Gu Qing doesn't have much confidence in him, so he plans to raise a few trumpets, maybe he can use them one day, anyway, he built a village school and invited a gentleman, teaching one is also teaching, and teaching a group is also teaching.

Gu Qing didn't have any utilitarian psychology about running a village school, and even he didn't know the purpose of this matter, since he regarded Shiqiao Village as his hometown, it was his right to build bridges and pave roads in his hometown after he had money, and future generations would not pay in vain if they could remember their own good, and it didn't matter if they forgot it, they would just throw it into the water and listen to the sound.

Song Gensheng's execution ability is still very good, and the next day he and Feng Aweng gathered the young Zhuang and porcelain kiln craftsmen in the village, and everyone discussed it, and decided to build a school on a vacant lot on the west side of the village.

News quickly spread throughout the village. The villagers were boiling.

In the afternoon, Gu Qing lay at home and took a nap, and a wave of villagers came to visit. Knowing that Gu Qing had a big temper before and after sleeping, the villagers honestly waited outside the gate, silently waiting for Gu Qing to wake up.

Gu Qing woke up and yawned and walked out of the door, and saw many villagers standing outside the door, he couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly reflected on whether he owed the villagers salaries recently, and then reflected on whether he had done something angry recently, and the villagers wanted to overthrow him, the village tyrant.

Immediately, Gu Qing found out that there was nothing, and the person who thought of him the worst in the whole village was probably himself.

There were not many polite words, and the villagers carried meager gifts, some with their own children, and some with orphans without father and mother, and thanked Gu Qing one after another, thanking him for running a village school and letting the children in the village study.

Reading is a big thing in this era, especially in remote rural mountain villages, a village can produce a scholar is the glory of the ancestors, let the children of the whole village study, Gu Qing personally bear the cost of village learning, this is a greater merit than building bridges and paving roads, scholars and illiterates, whether rich or poor, are already two completely different classes in status.

The villagers' gratitude to Gu Qing is from the heart, in this barren mountain village, Gu Qing built a magical ladder for them, that ladder can reach the sky, whether anyone can climb it in the future, that is the creation of future generations, but the person who built the ladder is really grateful.

Feng Aweng's eyes were red, and he patted Gu Qing's shoulder and sighed: "Good baby, really good baby, the village owes you too much over the years, not only do you not hold grudges, but you have also done so many good deeds for your neighbors, Shiqiao Village is very lucky to have you." ”

Gu Qing's attitude is very indifferent, in the final analysis, it is too easy to make money, and the money will come in a steady stream if he opens a gold finger, so it doesn't matter if he spends the money.

"Feng Aweng stared at the point, let the children in the village study hard, if I can take the exam in the future, it will be considered that my thoughts are not in vain."

Feng Aweng patted his chest and said: "Wrapped in the old man, such a precious opportunity, if they don't know how to improve, they won't be wronged if they break their legs." ”

Gu Qing looked around at the villagers and said, "Are all the children in the village coming to study?" ”

Feng Aweng smiled bitterly: "Not really, there are always some people who don't want to study, they are not born with that material, and I can't do anything about them." ”

Gu Qing said flatly: "Don't force it, it's naturally good to be able to study, and if you don't want to study, no one will force them." ”

Feng Aweng said again: "By the way, the craftsman of the porcelain kiln said this morning that he found someone in the forest outside the porcelain kiln, sneakily peeping at our porcelain kiln, I have to tell you about this matter, and take precautions as soon as possible." ”

Gu Qing frowned: "Why is it not over?" I just opened a porcelain kiln, how many people are red-eyed? If you're red-eyed, you'll open one yourself. ”

Feng Aweng shook his head and said: "People from other villages say that the porcelain embryos fired by our porcelain kiln are good, and no one in Datang can burn them, there must be a secret recipe, even if they open their own porcelain kiln, there is no secret recipe, and what is fired is just ordinary goods, I am afraid that they will not be able to sell it." ”

Gu Qing thought for a while and said: "Those children in the village who don't want to study can't be idle, find two young and strong ones with them, let them patrol around the porcelain kiln day and night, and have nothing to do to work hard, there are many veterans in the village, which elder has the time to teach them the way of martial arts, and it will be easy to deal with anything in the future." ”

Feng Aweng said with a smile: "Teach the children to me, in the battle with Tubo, if I hadn't broken my leg, maybe they would have been on fire, although the old man is a waste, the killing skills of the year have not been left behind, it is enough to teach those babies." ”

Sighing, Feng Aweng said: "Relying on the porcelain kiln you opened, the village finally has such a weather, the porcelain kiln is the foundation of our village, don't be careless, if the secret recipe is lost, our village will return to the years when we don't have enough food and clothing, and we are used to eating meat. ”

…………

Zhang Huaiyu is very mysterious, Gu Qing can sometimes see her in the village every day, she is still snow-white, her expression is indifferent and lazy, and she has nothing to do in the village like a jobless vagrant. But sometimes I can't see her for a few days, and I don't know where she has gone.

Every time I saw her, she always carried a wine jar in her hand, and from time to time she raised her head and poured a sip of wine, which seemed to be a good amount of wine, and she didn't blush after drinking a jar of wine.

The iron pot at home was smashed by her, Gu Qing had to ask the merchant to help go to Qingcheng County to order another one, since the ordered iron pot was delivered, Zhang Huaiyu stayed in the village most of the time, and rarely saw her go out.

Then Zhang Huaiyu asked Gu Qing to make braised fish for her every day, the taste should be heavy, the soup should be thick, and one fish was enough for her to eat three bowls of rice and drink a jar of wine.

Sometimes Zhang Huaiyu also went to the stone pond in the mountain behind the village to take a turn, and when he came back, he often carried a few dead fish in his hand, and after entering Gu Qing's house, he threw the fish into the water tank, and then looked at him expectantly.

This woman is really like a cat, arrogant and indifferent after eating, not only will she eat fish when she is hungry, but she will also take the initiative to find fish for him.

The only difference with a cat is that you can't pet her casually.
