Chapter 256: The Second Person of the Academy
Gu Qingwei laughed, shook the fan in his hand and left: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others who can't see through it, I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, and I don't have flowers and no wine to hoe the fields!" ”
"Others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it" Li Tai thought, "Not bad! Good poetry has the taste of escaping the world. ”
Walking all the way in the academy, Gu Qing was wandering around planning to build a library somewhere, and now the rear of the academy is still being built, as if there is no extra place to build a library, Xu Jingzong saw Gu Qing coming, "Gu Houye." ”
"The fortifications were completed very quickly." Gu Qing nodded and said.
"That's nature." Xu Jingzong said, "Now everyone has already harvested grain, and in the winter, many farmers have no work, and they have to find work. ”
"Keep an eye on me." Gu Qing looked at the scene, "I have another use for leaving an acre of land in the rear." ”
"Okay." Xu Jingzong nodded.
"Recruit as many people as possible, and many people in the winter have no work." Gu Qing said as he walked, "Also, prepare more hot soup on weekdays, don't let the big guy get cold." ”
"Xia Guan understands." Xu Jingzong said again, "Hou Ye is kind-hearted, I don't want some rich people, let people dredge the ditches in the fields in the winter, and the channels are frozen and purple after clearing the channels in the ice water, can you still do work?"
Gu Qing patted Xu Jingzong's shoulder, "Be kind to the people, they don't really want much." ”
"Master Hou, don't worry." Xu Jingzong nodded in agreement.
Gu Qing walked out of the academy, looking forward to building this small mountain village into a big city no less than Chang'an, and building it into the richest place in the Tang Dynasty.
"Gu Houye!" Several children greeted Gu Qing when they saw him.
"Yes, good." Gu Qing looked at them.
"Does Gu Houye eat eggs" A child took out a boiled egg from his arms.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat." Gu Qing replied with a smile.
The child still put the egg into Gu Qing's hand, and then followed a group of children to laugh and run away, picking up the hard-boiled egg in his hand, Gu Qing looked at this group of children when they first came to the village, it was very dilapidated here, and now these children don't have to wear patched clothes, and they don't need to wear straw sandals when they talk about it, looking at these children, Gu Qing thought of all the children in Datang, and how many children would still wear straw shoes and shiver in the cold wind in the winter.
How many people are running for a mouthful of food in winter.
Gu Qing really wanted to accomplish everything in one fell swoop, but the facts told him that it was far from enough, the goal was very far, and there were many, many steps after taking this step, and strengthening the country! Rich people! Wandering all the way through the village, I saw Sun Simiao sitting on the stone steps looking at the village in a daze.
Sitting next to Sun Simiao, Gu Qing also looked at the scenery in Sun Simiao's eyes, "What does the old man look at?"
"Look at the scenery." Sun Simiao said, "Our village is too rich, and the people in the village are a lot richer than the people of Chang'an. ”
Gu Qing also nodded, "I can't do much, but I will do my best, regardless of his fame and fortune, it is not as good as my breezy sleeves full of flowers,"
"Hello!" Sun Simiao spit out a mouthful of old phlegm and glanced at Gu Qing with disgust.
What does the old man mean by this, Gu Qing supported his chin with one hand, "Old man, which master on the top of the mountain do you like?" ”
Sun Simiao glared at Gu Qing, then got up to leave.
Sitting on the stone steps, Gu Qing looked at the scenery in front of him in a daze......
In the Chang'an Palace, Li Tai came to the Ganlu Palace, where the charcoal fire was burning very warmly and stepped forward and said, "Father, Gu Qing wants his son to be the waiter of the academy, that is, the second-in-command." ”
Li Er, who was reading a book, looked up at Li Tai and nodded, "It's good." ”
"It's just that the construction of the academy is the top priority for the upcoming imperial examination." Li Tai hesitated and said, "Father, the son feels that it is inappropriate to hold this position. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Tai still carefully glanced at his father's face, but Li Er didn't care, "If there's anything wrong, you can do it with confidence." ”
"Erchen understood." Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but if his father did not object, it did not mean that it was okay, and he was still worried in his heart, if Gu Qing's guess was correct, now his father had to weigh the relationship between himself and the crown prince.
Li Er thoughtfully said to Wang Qin beside him, "Let the prince prepare for the reception of envoys from various countries." ”
"The old slave is going." Wang Qin left.
Sure enough, Li Tai was sure in his heart that Gu Qing was right, and his own consideration was not bad.
"Qingque, you've lost weight." Li Erjiao was half-lying on the couch, and looked at Li Tai.
"Erchen has been on a diet recently, and according to Gu Qing, he should exercise more to lose weight." Li Tai said, "These days, Erchen feels a lot more comfortable. ”
"What has this kid been doing lately," Li Er looked at the book and asked Gu Qing.
"Gu Qing is at home, in the academy, and in the factory these days." Li Tai said leisurely.
"The matter of rebuilding the Daming Palace, has this kid started to prepare" Li Er asked again.
"Preparation, preparation." Li Tai replied again, "It's just that the preparations haven't started yet, and now Gu Qing still has to raise money, it is said that a big auction will be held in the middle of this month, and all the formulas sold are some strange formulas, Gu Qing always has a way to deal with silver money." ”
"His means of making money are beyond the reach of the dust." Li Er sighed, "You are good friends with Gu Qing, why don't you say a few more words around this kid, and think more about national policies when you have time, it's not that I can't listen to advice." ”
"Erchen understood." Li Tai bowed down and replied.
"Go and say hello to your mother." Li Er said again, "After the young slave and his son received Gu Qing's house, your mother's place was a lot more deserted. ”
"The retainers retired." Li Tai bowed and left.
Li Chengqian of the East Palace also received the will of his father brought by Wang Qin, and the arrival of the envoys from various countries this time allowed him to prepare for the reception, which was an excellent opportunity, and he had been pressed by Li Tai all the time, and this time he could finally do something.
Just as Li Chengqian was about to prepare for the envoys of various countries, he heard the news that Li Tai was appointed by Gu Qing as the squire of the academy, that is, the second person of the academy and the second in command of the academy! This news made Li Chengqian's original mood a lot of loss, he always thought that Li Tai would fight with him this time, but he didn't expect that he had become the second-in-command of the academy, and he was full of suspicions in his heart, and he was indeed the second person in the academy to get closer to the scholars.
It's no wonder that my father would let himself receive envoys from all over the world! clenched his fists tightly in his hands, he still let Li Tai take the lead.
