"I don't know what happened today. His Highness, the King of Wu, suddenly, couldn't get up before he went to the house."

Fan Jian whispered, and Wu Mei stopped and took some things to clean up in her hand and walked out of the house naturally to help close the door.

In fact, Wu Mei doesn't have to do this. Gu Qing and Wu Mei know something very well, but because Gao Yang's existence is now involved in the royal family, as the hostess of the Gu family, has to avoid it, otherwise it will be difficult to face Gao Yang when he hears anything.

Drinking the warm sober tea, Gu Qing asked, "Did Li Ke have any strange actions yesterday? Or has anyone ever contacted them?"

"Yesterday His Highness of the King of Wu went to Pingkangfang, but he had come into contact with many scholars and drank a lot of wine." Fan Jian whispered, "Our people have been watching again. Who has spoken to His Highness of the King of Wu? We have already recorded it. Let's check it now!"

"No need to go through so much trouble." Gu Qing shook his head and said, "Putting away all our hands, I have a lot of other things to do."

"Yes!" Fan Jian nodded.

Recalling what Li Er said to himself yesterday, Gu Qing said to Fan Jian again, "How did Li Ke enter Chang'an last time, but could he not find any news?"

"Some clues are very vague, and there are no more to be found." Fan Jian glanced at Gu Qing's expression and said, "But it seems that His Highness of the King of Wu did not come to Chang'an in the past two days, but had been in Chang'an for a while. We found that in Qujiangchi Garden, His Highness of the King of Wu should have lived in that place for more than half a month, and has been staying in the door and not leaving for half a month."

When Gu Qing heard this, his eyebrows jumped.

Fan Jian whispered, "What we can be sure now is that His Highness the King of Wu said that he just killed Chang'an was fake."

"He lied." Gu Qing sneered, "Is there any clue in Qujiangchi Villa?"

"It has been cleaned up and hurry up." Fan Jian said, "Qujiangchi has always been a place where royal services are done. At first, the short people didn't pay much attention to Qujiangchi. Now when I go to check the Qujiangchi Villa, I found that all the people have been removed."

"I understand." Gu Qing nodded.

Fan Jian walked out of the room, and Xiao Gu Xiao saw someone and said, "Uncle Fan..."

The little guy is four years old now. When he heard this uncle, Fan Jian was still very happy, "Young master, what do you want to do today?"

"Count the money." Xiao Gu Xiao said, then stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the key!"

"Count..." Fan Jian said for a moment. Gu Xiao, the eldest son of the Gu family, was not very good. He especially liked to count money. After counting, he counted at most until twenty or thirty, and he kept counting. If the number was small, he was still unhappy and insisted on going to the warehouse to lie on a pile of silver coins. The family members were also worried. As long as the wife reconciled the accounts in the warehouse, Gu Xiao slipped into the warehouse in a while. The last time he couldn't find someone for half a day, he turned out to be sleeping in the warehouse.

Gu Xiao's interest was very important, and the eldest wife Wu Mei in the family was afraid that the child would be so desperate to ask for money like the head of the family in the future.

"Young Master." Fan Jian said a little aggrievedly, "I should ask my wife for this, but the villain does not have the key to the warehouse."

"Hmph!" Little Gu Xiao snorted coldly, waving his stinky face and turned his head and left.

Fan Jian shook his head bitterly. Gu Xiao was still very well-behaved before, but he just became a little sensible but it became increasingly difficult to serve him.

"By the way." Xiao Gu Xiao said in a slight voice again, "Does my mother still have the candy-fried chestnuts?"

"Some." Fan Jian nodded and immediately asked the maid beside him to bring him.

Gu Qing walked out of the room and looked at his son.

Gu Xiao was disgusted when he saw Gu Qing. His originally arrogant and domineering aura disappeared without a trace, "Dad, I'm going to do my homework."

Gu Xiao wants to learn Gu Qing's simplified Chinese characters, and Gu Qing plans to start from childhood.

"Don't worry." Gu Qing looked at his eldest son and said, "Have you done the topic I gave you before?"

"It's done." Gu Xiao said while eating candy and stir-fried chestnuts, "The answer is sixteen."

Gu Qing nodded. Gu Xiao learned the mathematics of later generations, and the starting point was much higher than that of the students in the academy.

"I asked you a few days ago what your ideal is when you grow up." Gu Qing paused and said, "Have you thought about it now?"

"Dad." Gu Xiao crossed his legs and said, "My mother said it's too early to think about this now, so there's no need to think about it."

"It's not early, it's not early at all." Gu Qing whispered.

"Actually, the child's ideal is not great." Little Gu Xiao thought about it and said, "My mother said she should do what she can, so I think it's easy to be a person like her father."

"The little brat will even turn around and hurt me, right?" Gu Qing said.

"No, no." Gu Xiao said and left with a smirk.

Maritime Trade Department

After thinking for a long time, Li Zhi made his decision to Shangguan Yi, "I want power, and I don't need Gu Qing's permission. I want to do it first."

Shangguan Yi nodded slightly, "Just as long as His Highness the King of Jin is the decision."

"Actually, I thought a lot during this period." Li Zhi said, "I asked Gu Qing about this matter, but Gu Qing did not agree or refused, and even did not answer me. Rather than saying that he did not agree, it was better to say that he agreed by default. I will continue to do it first, regardless of whether Gu Qing agreed or not, if my method does not work, I will withdraw immediately."

After saying that, Li Zhi mustered up the courage to take out a file, "I have already figured out the method. Based on Gu Qing, we will first increase the wages of the original civil servants. Of course, we cannot preconceive the idea. We must make these migrant workers have a certain sense of belonging to the Maritime Trade Department step by step."

“Sense of belonging?”

"Yes." Li Zhi said again, "I have thought about the construction of Guqing Port several times over so many days. In fact, Gu Qing, the civil servants of Gu Qing, don't care about the construction of Gu Qing, especially those civil servants. If Gu Qing had not chosen the right choice of Yan Liben, what would happen to the port? Our Maritime Trade Department cannot be a hand-off manager like Gu Qing. First integrate all the interests and then distribute them. Make rules! This is my idea. I can constantly reduce Gu Qing's influence in the implementation of various measures, and make the Maritime Trade Department augment the status of those civil servants. This is what I want to do."
