Some voices have never stopped in Chang'an. Although no one admits them on the official side, many people still believe that the conflict between Gu Qing and Li Chengqian has not been resolved. As long as Gu Qing is in the face of the situation, this contradiction will always exist.

It was rare to rain heavily tonight in autumn, and Gu Xiao's business began to fully align with the Gu family's business. Now all transportation and manufacturing can be handled by the Gu family.

"Head of the family, Xu Jingzong is back." Fan Jian said.

"Let him come in." Gu Qing nodded.

Xu Jingzong took off his hat and walked into the Gu family. Looking at Gu Qing now, he said, "The affairs of Gu Houye Jiangnan have been almost settled. The great geniuses in Jiangnan all agreed not to interfere in the waterway. This time, the Xie family crashed into a family and died. No one dared to continue trying again."

"I understand." Gu Qing's tone had no expression.

Xu Jingzong also calmed down, standing aside as if waiting for Gu Qing to say something.

Sitting in the study, Gu Qing looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "So many years have passed, and you have become much older."

"Everyone will grow old." Xu Jingzong said: "I am already forty years old. Before I knew it, I will think about the ridiculous things in the past, unreasonable things and passionate things. Looking back now, I am also a ridiculous story."

"Well, thank you for your hard work over the years, thank you for helping me with so much." Gu Qing said.

Xu Jingzong smiled, and this time he smiled very relieved, "It's getting late, Mr. Gu will rest earlier."

Accompanying Xu Jingzong out of the study, Gu Qing whispered: "I'll give you a gift."

"No need." Xu Jingzong put on his hat and walked into the rainy night.

The first time I felt that things were different, Gu Qing was standing in the cold night rain and saw that the candlelight in his master's room was still bright, and walked into Sun Simiao's room. Now Sun Simiao is very old, too old to walk with a crutch, and can only sit in a wheelchair.

After covering the master with a blanket, Gu Qing blew out the oil lamp, looked at the ups and downs on his chest in the dark, and confirmed that his breathing was stable before leaving.

It is like a kind of inheritance of vitality, the elders are getting older, while the younger generations are getting more and more energetic.

Gu Xiao was still talking about something with Gu Xue. Gu Qing sat alone in front of his master's door, watching the heavy rain falling.

"What are you thinking?" Wu Mei came to Gu Qing's side.

Gu Qing held his chin with his hands, looked at the dark sky and said, "I often think that it would be a pity if all this was just a big dream of spring and autumn."

"I am just a living person standing beside you, where did the dream of spring and autumn come from?" Wu Mei said with a smile.

"That's right." Gu Qing smiled and nodded with a self-deprecating smile.

"Tell me what your hometown looks like." Wu Mei sat beside Gu Qing and said.

"My hometown is beautiful. It doesn't want to be as stable as it is now, nor does it remain unchanged like it is now. It changes very quickly. If you leave for a few years, you will need a long time to adapt to new changes..."

Gu Qing's hometown has been said many times, and Wu Mei is willing to listen. Listening to Gu Qing telling all kinds of his hometown, it is like a kind of hope. Thinking that the only difference between Gu Qing and himself may be that Gu Qing has always had a hometown in his heart. As Gu Qing's words slowly unfolded like a scroll, Gu Qing always said that this hometown is real, and he also heard Gu Qing say that he has not left his hometown. His hometown has always been at Gu Qing's feet but it is no longer what he used to be.

As long as you have a long enough time, your hometown will still come back. Even in a few hundred years, future generations must know that your hometown has really existed. The hometown you tell about will be presented to the world and everything will reappear.

Gu Qing has been working hard for so many years. Perhaps it is too insignificant to say that these efforts will change an era, and perhaps everything Gu Qing established will be overthrown. However, Gu Qing has worked hard at least in history. At least there is a shadow of his struggle. Wu Mei understands in her heart that everything Gu Qing did is actually for her hometown, for the utopia in her heart that she can never go back to, and she has never given up returning to her hometown.

He has been working hard to change this era and change the entire Central Plains. With these changes, Gu Qing can feel that he is stepping towards his hometown step by step. If he does nothing, it will be true despair for Gu Qing.

After talking for a long time, Gu Qing felt the chill of night, helped Wu Mei stand up, "It's getting late, let's go back."

"Master is asleep?" Wu Mei asked in a low voice.

"I'm already asleep." Gu Qing said.

Sun Simiao is over 100 years old and may leave at any time at this age. Wu Mei looked at Gu Qing's expression. If Sun Simiao left, it might cause a great blow to Gu Qing. She knew Gu Qing since she was a child. Gu Qing was an orphan. Without relatives, many times Gu Qing and Sun Simiao were like grandparents. Gu Qing treated Sun Simiao as real relatives.

It was not until Gu Qing had himself and this home that Gu Qing built academy and built all kinds of things here. Home and hometown were more important to Gu Qing than life.

The rain stopped overnight. Today, the academy was very disturbing. The academy and the factory jointly created unprecedented steel. The steel was as smooth as a mirror, with a very smooth surface, and the hardness and toughness were very good.

This is a major breakthrough for the factory for the academy. The new wrought iron technology can be used in too many places. This steelmaking technology can be used in all walks of life.

Li Tai looked at the new steel in front of him. This steel was not simply forged, but almost recasted the steel, calcining the impurities in the iron ore to almost no.

However, this kind of wrought iron technology consumes too much cost. Even if there is such a big breakthrough, Li Tai still feels a little hesitant. The process still needs to be improved. The manpower and material resources consumed. If it is said to be used on a large scale in all walks of life, even in the military, it is not realistic, and the output will never be too high.

Fang Yizhi said to Li Tai: "Do you feel that there is something missing? In the years of factory construction, you always feel that there is a very important part of it."

"I feel the same way. If I follow Gu Qing's idea and follow the steps, I feel that there are fewer things, and they are very important things. With this thing, we may be able to break the bottleneck. Once this bottleneck is broken, all the things we expect in our hearts may be able to be made."

"It's time to talk to Gu Qing, he must have nothing to say."
