Chapter 585 Greetings

Li Tai nodded in disappointment. The royal family was complicated and he really didn't want to involve this battle. It would be great to live a life of freedom in the academy. Why should he live those intrigues? Thinking that if Gu Qing had not been persuading him in words, he might still be fighting with Li Chengqian.

Gu Qing taught his son to speak at home, but this kid was confused except for his parents and grandfather Sun Simiao.

Gu Qing took out a portrait of Yang Sheng and said, "I call him uncle."

"Carrot." Gu Xiao said in a slight voice.

"It's not a carrot, it's an uncle." Gu Qing emphasized again.

"Carrot!" Gu Xiao still had a slight voice.

"It's not uncle, but carrot!"

Wu Mei: "..."

Gu Qing was almost angry and cried, looking at his child's worries.

The next morning, Gu Qing went to court. Li You knelt in front of Chengtian Gate for a day and a night and almost fainted. No one dared to ask more about the prince's affairs. He could not participate in royal affairs casually.

Gu Qing walked to Li You's side, "Your Highness, can you still reminisce about the past?"

Li You looked up and saw Gu Qing looking down at him, and lowered his head weakly again.

The palace gate opened, Gu Qing followed the courtiers into the palace and greeted Chu Suiliang, "Old Chu, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it." Chu Suiliang replied expressionlessly.

"What did you eat?" Gu Qing asked again.

"Clean porridge and dried vegetables." Chu Suiliang continued to answer.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Qing asked again.

"Gu Qing, just say whatever you want to say." Chu Suiliang walked.

"Nothing is just a greeting. We should promote relationships, right?" Gu Qing smiled.

Chu Suiliang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"By the way, Lao Chu." Gu said again, "What is Your Highness the Crown Prince doing recently?"

"What did you ask so much?" Chu Suiliang had no good face.

"I was just thinking that the ships of the sea trade were about to come back. His Majesty said that His Royal Highness and I were in charge of the East China Sea trade together, but His Royal Highness has not mentioned it for so long."

"The time is here, and the crown prince will naturally find you." Chu Suiliang walked into Tai Chi Palace.

The court meeting started, but there was still no special process as usual. I thought this time I would pass by it dullly, but Wang Qin was still stopped on the road to the court.

"Eunuch Wang." Gu Qing greeted with a smile.

"Please give me the Shangshu Ling." Wang Qin spoke very politely.

It was common for Gu Qing to be summoned by Li Er after the court meeting, and many people in the court knew that they could only envy him.

When he arrived at the Wude Hall, Li Er was practicing swordsmanship.

Gu Qing stood aside and looked at Wang Qin in a low voice, "What kind of sword technique is this that Your Majesty practiced?"

Wang Qin ignored Gu Qing's words and stepped forward and whispered to Li Er, "Your Majesty, Gu Qing is here."

Li Er did not stop hearing the words and practiced for a long time before he stopped the sword, "Gu Qing, do you know everything about King Qi?"

"What is Your Majesty talking about? I didn't understand."

"You are still as stinky as ever." Li Er handed over the sword to Wang Qin. "Dali Temple captured the alchemist, and Li You gave you a cart of money, and you passed it on to Zhinu. Gu Qing, you are very good at calculating."

"What Your Majesty is saying, I am increasingly unable to understand."

"I'm confused, no matter whether you're pretending or not, it's okay to be a little confused." Li Er walked into the Ganlu Palace and took off his coat and drank a sip of cold soup. "If I know that you are using a child like this in the future, I will never spare you."

"I know I'm guilty." Gu Qing nodded repeatedly.

While speaking, Wang Qin handed Li Er a memorial. After reading it, Li Er's face looked very bad, "Li You, this vilified son! He was so ruthless that he was invaded into Taichang Temple and was punished to copy the Book of Filial Piety."

"Yes!" Wang Qin nodded.

"Gu Qing, the eighteen rebels against the kings, and the thirty-six dust streaks killed the Central Plains in chaos. I don't want to see that scene again." Li Er said.

Why does it seem like warning yourself when you hear this sentence?

"I understand." Gu Qing replied.

"Give me a seat! Give me tea." Li Er spoke to the palace maid beside him.

I sat down and took a sip of tea. The tea from Li Er's family was also fried tea. Now the fried tea has been integrated into the lives of the people of the Central Plains, and this integration is inevitable even the royal family.

Gu Qing said silently, "Your Majesty, I want to say something."

"Tell me." Li Er spoke.

"Then I will say it." Gu Qing continued, "The fish and rice in the Jiangnan area have been abundant for many years. I want the commercial roads in the Jiangdong area to open up to the prefectures of the Central Plains. The silk and fish and rice in the Jiangnan area are all good things. I want to reduce the tax on local commercial activities in Jiangnan."

"If you write a memorial to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, there will naturally be someone to approve it." Li Er looked at Gu Qing, "The business path has always been very stable, and you don't have to pay too much attention to this kind of thing."

"That's right." Gu Qing said again, "That day, His Highness of the King of Wu found me and hoped that I would like to make a comment to Your Majesty. The King of Wu wanted to go to the fief."

"King of Wu?" Li Er nodded, "I understand. I want to go to the Jiangdong area you call."

"That's right." Gu Qing nodded, "Jiangdong can connect to the East China Sea. The Jiangdong gate can speed up the flow of goods through waterways. The speed of trade flow will be higher. For example, a transaction that originally took three months to complete is only one month. As one goes up and down, one transaction can only be completed in one month. After speeding up, three transactions can be completed in one month. If the speed of commodity flows faster, more taxes will be generated."

"If His Highness of the King of Wu mastered the Jiangdong waterway and vigorously developed waterway trade, the future commercial taxes could reach a higher level."

After Gu Qing finished speaking, Li Er couldn't speak for a long time, "Gu Qing, are you full of business?"

"ah?"

"I ask you, is your brain the only business?" Li Er looked at Gu Qing, "For what happened to you, has it become a business. Will the King of Wu have to do business after he went to Jiangdong?"

"Not that." Gu Qing smiled awkwardly, "There are still many things to do, to develop people's livelihood and promote production, yes! It's a lot."

"I will make a decision on the matter of King Wu." Li Er said slowly.

"Your Majesty is still making a new firearm recently." Gu Qing said, "That firearm is very good. It is fast and cheap to be used repeatedly, but it is easy to be smoked when used."

"Let me tell me." Li Er was also interested while drinking tea.

"That thing is called a musket, also called a musket, and it is still in the theoretical stage." Gu Qing said, "As long as this musket is 10% and thousands of people are fired in a row, the scene is spectacular and tight, and the quality is not good. If you want good quality, the workmanship must be very fine."

"Matchrope?" Li Er nodded and asked, "How long can you do it?"
