Chapter 256 The second person in the academy
Gu Qing smiled and shook the fan in his hand and left, saying, "Others laughed at me for being too crazy, I laughed at me for not seeing through, I didn't see the tomb of the heroes of Wuling, and I could not make a living by hoeing the fields without flowers or wine!"
"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at me for not seeing through it?" Li Tai thought, "Not bad! Good poems are just about the smell of avoiding the world."
Walking all the way in the academy, Gu Qing wandered around and planned to build a library. Now the rear of the academy is still under construction, and there seems to be no extra place to build a library. Xu Jingzong saw Gu Qing coming, "Mr. Gu."
"The fortifications are completed quite quickly." Gu Qing nodded and said.
"That's natural." Xu Jingzong said, "Now people have harvested food. In winter, many farmers have no work. They have to find work. It just so happens that we are short of people and have a lot of wages."
"Please pay attention to me." Gu Qing looked at the scene, "Leave acre of land behind me and I have other uses for him."
"Okay." Xu Jingzong nodded.
"Try to help more people. Many people in the middle of winter have no work." Gu Qing said as he walked, "and prepare more hot soup on weekdays so that everyone can get cold."
"The official understands." Xu Jingzong said again, "The Marquis is kind-hearted and doesn't want some wealthy families to clear the ditches in the fields in the middle of winter. After people clear the channels in the ice water, they are frozen and purple. Can they still do work?"
Gu Qing patted Xu Jingzong on the shoulder, "Be kind to the people, they actually don't want much."
"Don't worry, marquis." Xu Jingzong nodded and agreed.
Gu Qing walked out of the academy and was eager to build this small mountain village into a big city no less than Chang'an, and to build it into the richest place in the Tang Dynasty.
"Mr. Gu!" Several children greeted Gu Qing when they saw him.
"Yeah, be good." Gu Qing looked at them.
"Does Mr. Gu eat eggs?" A child took out a cooked egg from his arms.
"If I'm not hungry, you can eat." Gu Qing replied with a smile.
The child still put the eggs into Gu Qing's hands, and then followed a group of children to run away with laughter and pick up the cooked eggs in his hand. Gu Qing looked at the group of children when they came to the village. Now these children don't have to wear patched clothes, and don't have to wear straw sandals. Looking at these children, Gu Qing thought of all the children of the Tang Dynasty, and how many children will still wear straw sandals and tremble in the cold wind in the winter.
How many people are running for a bite of food in winter?
Gu Qing wanted to achieve everything in one go, but the facts were far from enough. The goal was very far away and there were still many steps to make a strong country! Rich the people! Wandering all the way in the village, I saw Sun Simiao sitting on the stone steps and staring at the village in a daze.
Sitting beside Sun Simiao, Gu Qing also looked at the scenery in Sun Simiao's eyes, "What are the old man looking at?"
"Look at the scenery." Sun Simiao said, "Our village is too rich. The people in the village are much richer by the people in Chang'an. If this were the case everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, it would be great. Fewer people starve to death and fewer travel."
Gu Qing nodded, "I can't do much, but I will do my best. No matter how fame and fortune he is, he is not as good as my breeze and sleeves and flowers."
"Ha!" Sun Simiao spit out an old phlegm and glanced at Gu Qing with disgust.
What does the old man mean? Gu Qing supported his chin with one hand, "Old man, which teacher do you like to go up the mountain?"
Sun Simiao glared at Gu Qing, then stood up and left.
Sitting on the stone steps, Gu Qing looked at the scenery in front of him, staring blankly...
In Chang'an Palace, Li Tai came to Ganlu Hall, where there was a charcoal fire burning and it was very warm and went forward and said, "Father, Gu Qing wants his son to be the minister 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 pretty good."
"It's just that the construction of academy is the top priority for the imperial examinations that are about to come." Li Tai said hesitantly, "Father, my son-in-law thinks it is inappropriate to take this position."
After saying that, Li Tai still carefully glanced at his father's face, while Li Er was indifferent, "If there is anything wrong, you can do it with confidence."
"My son understand." Li Tai finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the father did not object, it did not mean that it was okay. He was still nervous. If Gu Qing guessed correctly, the father would now have to weigh the relationship between himself and the prince.
Li Er said to Wang Qin beside him, "Let the prince prepare to receive envoys from various countries."
"I'll go now." Wang Qin left.
Sure enough, Li Tai was sure that Gu Qing was right and he thought about it well.
"Qingque, you're losing weight." Li Er lay halfway on the couch, looking at Li Tai from the left.
"After Chen is on a diet recently, according to Gu Qing, you should exercise more to lose weight." Li Tai said, "After Chen feels that he has been much more comfortable these days."
"What is this kid Gu Qing doing recently?" Li Er looked at the book but asked Gu Qing.
"Gu Qing has been at home, academy, and a factory these days." Li Tai said Youyouyou.
"Have this kid started preparing for the rebuilding of the Daming Palace?" Li Er asked again.
"It's preparation." Li Tai replied again, "It's just that the preparation has not started yet. 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 strange recipes are sold. Gu Qing always has a way to do this thing."
"He makes money in a way that is beyond the reach of his ability." Li Er sighed, "If you have a good relationship with Gu Qing, it is better to say more words to this kid and think more about the national policy when you have time. I am not unwilling to listen to advice."
"My son understand." Li Tai bowed and replied.
"Go and say goodbye to your mother." Li Er said again, "After Zhinu and Yizi received Gu Qing's house, your mother's place was much deserted."
"My son is leaving." Li Tai bowed and left.
Li Chengqian of the East Palace also received the decree of Wang Qin. This time, the arrival of envoys from various countries made him prepare for the entertainment. This was an excellent opportunity. He had been suppressed by Li Tai for a long time, and this time he could finally do something.
Just when Li Chengqian was about to prepare for the matter of envoys from various countries, he heard a news that Li Tai was appointed as the minister of the academy by Gu Qing, the second person in the academy and the second person in charge of the academy! This news made Li Chengqian feel a lot of disappointed. He always thought that Li Tai would argue with him this time, but he didn't expect that he had become the second person in charge of the academy and was suspicious. As the second person in the academy, he could get closer to the scholars.
