Chapter 268 The third disciple

Gu Qing was rushing to ploughs for the people to farm. Xu Jingzong of the academy also knew about this. He hurried over and squeezed past the crowd to come forward and asked, "Marty, what are you doing?"

"I'm making a curved plow." The curved plow in Gu Qing's hand is about to be completed. "You go to the academy to call a few students here."

"Oh!" Xu Jingzong nodded.

Looking at the curved 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 plow into the field. He wanted to use a cow to pull it but he couldn't help but push it in the field. It was particularly labor-saving, "Good thing!"

The villagers around also saw it strange and came to try the new plow.

Xu Jingzong came with several students from the academy, "Marty, the students brought them."

"I've seen the Marquis!" Several students also saluted Gu Qing.

"I saw the Quyuan Plow in the field." Gu Qing pointed to the Quyuan Plow and said to the students, "You do more according to the Quyuan Plow and teach the villagers how to do it. After the work is done, Xu Jingzong will reward you with money."

"Thank you, Marquis!" The student saluted again.

"You're welcome." Gu Qing looked at the eleven or 2-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 and be more flexible."

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

Gu Qing nodded, "Go and study hard. If you are too busy, you can ask a few more classmates to help."

...

Seeing Gu Qing leaving, Xu Jingzong hurriedly followed his footsteps, "Marty, what about the imperial examination invigilator..."

"I've got a settlement, I've told the teacher that I can arrange a seat for you at that time." Gu Qing nodded, "Xu Jingzong, it's really aggrieved you to stay in the academy. If you can embark on your career, you will also rise to the top in the future."

"I will definitely not forget the kindness of Gu County Hou's grace!" Xu Jingzong bowed and bowed.

"Okay." Gu Qing joked, "Working things well will bring you the benefits."

"I understand." Xu Jingzong said again, "Mr. Marquis, I found a child in the academy. I am quite talented. I think I can use it for the Marquis in the future."

"Who?" Gu Qing swayed the fan while walking.

Xu Jingzong followed, explaining, "This man came from the Pei family in Hedong, named Pei Xingjian, and was also from a famous family. He was the second son of Pei Renji, the former Minister of Rites of the Sui Dynasty. The Pei family was also a prominent family in the former Sui Dynasty. However, after the Sui Dynasty collapsed, the Pei family also fell. If it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, the Pei family would not have stayed back then."

"Pei Xingjian?" Gu Qing recalled this name. Pei Xingjian was also a figure in history. In later history, Pei Xingjian took Su Dingfang as his teacher and became a generation of wise generals from a small army. Such people should go to the army. How come they came to the academy? Think about it, Pei Xingjian was a person who was a literary figure when he was young. After entering the officialdom, his official career was ups and downs. At that time, Su Dingfang discovered this gold that had not been discovered yet.

"Take me to see him." Gu Qing was intrigued.

"Marty, come down." Xu Jingzong led the way.

When I came to the academy, I saw an eleven or 2-year-old boy sitting in the pavilion to calculate a problem. I was very focused and didn't notice Gu Qing's words at all.

"Pei Xingjian?" Xu Jingzong called out.

Pei Xingjian then looked up and saw Gu Qing and Xu Jingzong rushing to salute, "Boy, I have met the Marquis and Editor Xu."

Looking at the child, Gu Qing said, "You are the Pei family in Hedong, Pei Xingjian?"

"It's exactly that boy." Pei Xingjian said respectfully.

"You retreat first." Gu Qing said to Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong also stepped back a few steps, standing not far away, not understanding what Gu Qing meant. Xu Jingzong originally wanted to tell him where the child Pei Xingjian was smart, but he didn't expect Gu Qing would react like this as soon as he heard the name. Could it be that Mr. Gu met Pei Xingjian earlier?

The dead of winter has passed, and the wind is still a little cold now. Gu Qing looked at him, "What do you like to do on weekdays."

"I like to study Yin-Yang calendar, physics and mathematics on weekdays." Pei Xingjian replied.

He shook the fan in his hand and said, "You are considered to be from the generals. Your father is all generals. Why are you not as good as a leader now when you come to the academy?"

"Boy..." Pei Xingjian was a little confused about this matter, but he still spoke, "The elders in the family taught that the journey of the army was unstable. He was afraid that the boy would follow the old path of his father, so he chose to follow the literature. In fact, the boy likes to study knowledge, especially the knowledge in the academy."

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

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

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

"Yes!" Pei Xingjian said, "Mr. Marquis, there are many students in the first institution of Tang Dynasty. There are students from all over Chang'an to Guanzhong. Dozens of new students will enter every day. There is a saying that I dare to say that this academy will become a burden for the Marquis in the future, or that this academy will cause the Marquis to kill him again in the future."

"To be more detailed." Gu Qing became more interested in Pei Xingjian.

"The Marquis should also understand in his heart, otherwise the Marquis would not allow His Highness King of Wei to be the second person in the academy. Although the Marquis led the academy from afar, the Marquis did not interfere in many things in the academy." Pei Xingjian lowered his tone, "The Marquis has always been close to the academy and rarely came to the academy. The arrangements of the academy are all done by the old master Kong Yingda, Xu Editor and several editors and the King of Wei. Even Di Renjie, who used to take all matters of the academy, left the academy and entered Dali Temple. So the boy thought that the Marquis was already looking for a way out for him, because the Hou knew that the academy had reached its current level. If the academy students entered the imperial examination hall."

"As long as the academy students achieve excellent results in the imperial examination, the academy will be famous in the Central Plains!" Pei Xingjian glanced at Gu Qing's face, "All scholars and officials in the world have all come out of the first institution of the Tang Dynasty!? This is a double-edged sword for the marquis, and the emperor will be afraid of it."

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

"Boy is willing." Pei Xingjian bowed to Gu Qing without hesitation, "Students pay homage to the teacher!"
