Gu Qing was plowing the plows used by the people for farming, and Xu Jingzong, who was in the academy, also knew about this matter, so he hurriedly came, squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and asked, "Master Hou, what are you doing?"

"I'm making a plow." The Quyuan plow in Gu Qing's hand was about to be completed, "You go to the academy and call a few students over." ”

"Hey!" Xu Jingzong nodded.

Looking at the Quyuan plow in his hand, Gu Qing said to the farmer, "Put it in the field and try it." ”

"Okay." The farmer dragged the novel curved plough into the field, and he thought of using the ox to pull it, but he didn't expect to move it casually in the field, which was extra labor-saving, "Good thing!" ”

The surrounding villagers also saw the surprise and came to try the new plow.

Xu Jingzong came with a few students from the academy, "Master Hou, the students have brought." ”

"I've seen Master Hou!" Several students also saluted Gu Qing.

"I didn't see the zigzag plough in the field." Gu Qing pointed to the Qu Yuan plough and said to the students, "You follow the example of this Qu Yuan plow, do a few more, and teach the villagers here how to do it, and Xu Jingzong will reward you with silver money after the fact." ”

"Master Xie!" The students saluted again.

"You're welcome." Gu Qing looked at these eleven or twelve-year-old children with a smile, "This thing is not difficult to do, it is related to the principle of leverage, you can transform the bulky plow as much as possible to be more flexible." ”

"Yes! Master Hou, we understand that knowledge must be learned and applied. The students nodded.

Gu Qing nodded, "Let's go and study it, if you are too busy, you can call a few more classmates to help." ”

……

Seeing that Gu Qing was leaving, Xu Jingzong hurriedly followed his footsteps, "Master Hou, what about the imperial examination invigilator ......?"

"Yes, I have already told the teacher, and I can arrange a place for you when the time comes." Gu Qing nodded, "Xu Jingzong, I really wronged you by letting you stay in the academy, if you can embark on a career in office, he will also be prosperous in the future." ”

"I will never forget Gu Xianhou's kindness!" Xu Jingzong bowed.

"Alright." Gu Qing quipped, "Do things well, the benefits are indispensable to you." ”

"I understand below." Xu Jingzong said again, "Master Hou, I found a child in the academy in Xia, but he is quite talented, and I think that he can be used by Master Hou in the future." ”

"Who" Gu Qing shook his fan while walking.

Xu Jingzong followed the footsteps and explained, "This person is from the Pei family in Hedong, named Pei Xingjian, and he is also from a famous family, the second son of Pei Renji, the former secretary of the Sui Rite Department, the Pei family was also a famous family in the former Sui period, but after the fall of the violent Sui, the Pei family also fell, if it weren't for His Majesty's benevolence, the Pei family would not have stayed back then." ”

"Pei Xingjian" Gu Qing recalled this name, Pei Xingjian is also a figure in history, in later history, Pei Xingjian worshiped Su Dingfang as a teacher, from a small army to a generation of wise generals, this kind of person should go to the army, how did he come to the academy, think about it, the character of Pei Xingjian was from the text when he was young, and after entering the officialdom, the official career was up and down, and at that time Su Dingfang discovered this gold that had not yet been discovered.

"Take me to meet him." Gu Qing was interested.

"Master Hou, come down with me." Xu Jingzong led the way.

As soon as he came out of the pavilion in the academy, he saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy sitting in the pavilion calculating an arithmetic problem, very attentive and didn't notice Gu Qing's words at all.

"Pei Xingjian," Xu Jingzong called.

Pei Xingjian raised his head at this time, and saw Gu Qing and Xu Jingzong hurriedly saluting, "Boy, I've seen Master Hou, I've seen Xu Bianxiu." ”

Looking at this child, Gu Qing said, "You are Hedong Pei's family, Pei Xingjian"

"Kid exactly." Pei Xingjian said respectfully.

"You stand down first." Gu Qing said to Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong also took a few steps back, standing not far away and didn't understand what Gu Qing meant, Xu Jingzong originally wanted to talk about where Pei Xingjian's child was smart, but he didn't expect Gu Qing to react like this as soon as he heard the name, could it be that Gu Houye knew Pei Xingjian in his early years

The midwinter season has passed, and the wind is still a little cool now, Gu Qing looked at him, "What do you like to do on weekdays." ”

"The kid likes to study the lunisolar calendar, physics and arithmetic on weekdays." Pei Xingjian replied.

Shaking the fan in his hand, Gu Qing said again, "You are also from the Jiangmen, your fathers are all generals, why do you come to the academy now, why don't you join the army?"

"Boy......" Pei Xingjian was a little unspeakable about this matter, but he still said it, "The elders in the family teach, the road to the army is ups and downs, and I am afraid that the boy will follow the old path of his father, so he chooses to follow the text, in fact, the boy likes to study knowledge, especially the knowledge of the academy." ”

Gu Qing nodded and said, "What do you think of my school." ”

Pei Xingjian looked at the academy behind him and glanced at Gu Qing cautiously.

"It's okay, you just say it." Gu Qing said again.

"Yes!" Pei Xingjian opened his mouth and said, "Master Hou, there are many students in the first school of the Tang Dynasty today, from Chang'an to Guanzhong, there are students from all over the country, and dozens of new students will enter every day. ”

"More detailed." Gu Qing's interest in Pei Xingjian became even stronger.

"Hou Ye should also understand in his heart, otherwise Hou Ye will not let His Royal Highness King Wei be the second person of the academy, and although Hou Ye leads the academy from afar, but Hou Ye does not interfere in many things of the academy" Pei Xingjian's tone lowered, "Hou Ye has always been separated from the academy, rarely comes to the academy, the arrangement of the academy is Kong Yingda's old master, Xu and several editors and His Royal Highness King Wei to deal with it, and even Di Renjie, who used to control all the affairs of the academy, left the academy and entered Dali Temple, so the kid thought that Hou Ye was already looking for a way out for himself, Because Hou Ye knows that this academy is already very large by now, if the academy students enter the imperial examination field. ”

"As long as the students of the academy achieve good results in the imperial examination, then the academy will be famous in the Central Plains!" Pei Xingjian glanced at Gu Qing's face, "All the corporal doctors in the world are from the first school in the Tang Dynasty!" This is a double-edged sword for the Hou Ye, and the Emperor of Heaven will be jealous. ”

"It's rare to be so delicate at such a young age, and to be able to see my mind at a glance." Gu Qing looked at him and said, "Pei Xingjian, are you willing to be my third disciple?"

"The boy willing." Pei Xingjian did not hesitate to bow to Gu Qing, "Students meet the teacher!" “

The wind that had just entered the spring wind blew through this pavilion, Gu Qing looked at Pei Xingjian, and handed him the folding fan in his hand, "This folding fan of mine is given to you, you will be my disciple in the future, but this matter cannot be known to others, let alone Xu Jingzong, if there is anything in the future, you can go to Di Renjie, or come directly to me, from today onwards, you will be in charge of the academy guards, I will give you a monthly salary, if you can get ahead in the imperial examination, I can pull you to let you enter the officialdom as soon as possible." ”
