After packing his clothes, Chu Suiliang accelerated his pace to go home. Along the way, he happened to meet Fang Yizhi, who was also on the way home, "Brother Fang."

Fang Yizhi stopped and turned around, "It turned out to be the Minister of the Central Committee in person."

"Brother Fang has just returned from the academy?" Chu Suiliang looked at Fang Yizhi and said, "Now the court is the time to use people. Brother Fang may as well enter the court. Your Majesty will definitely use Brother Fang."

"I have learned the kindness of the Zhongshuling." Fang Yizhi said respectfully, "but the busy academy affairs are really hard to separate."

Chu Suiliang watched Fang Yizhi walk into the house with a lost step. There was no shortage of people in the court, but Li Chengqian lacked people and people who could compete with Gu Qing.

Gu Village, Gu Qing was worried at the doorstep of his house.

"Why don't you sell it with a share?" Li Zhi also said worriedly, "They are rushing to give you gifts."

"You can't sell it like this." Gu Qing sighed, "If you give gifts, you will sell it, but it will be verbal. Whoever gives more will sell it to whom, who am I?"

"Aren't you asking for money?" Li Zhi looked at Gu Qing, "Can you change?"

"Your Highness of the King of Jin must be reasonable." Gu Qing said again, "A gentleman loves money and gets it well."

"Haha." Li Zhi sneered, "Gu Qing, do you have any grudge against Junzi?"

"It's all taken away." Gu Qing said to Fan Jian one after another.

While receiving gifts, Gu Qing saw a guy walking towards his door, looking like he was wearing an official uniform.

The other party came to Gu Qing and "had seen the Prime Minister."

Gu Qing also said in confusion: "I dare to ask in person..."

"I am Yan Lide." Yan Lide said as he took out a painting. "That day, I accidentally saw the Prime Minister and his wife walking in the palace and painted it. It was a bit offensive, so I would give it to the Prime Minister."

After taking the painting, Gu Qing looked at the guy who painted himself and Wu Mei. He had to say that Yan Lide's painting skills were very good. "The painting was very good, I accepted it."

Yan Lide smiled at this time, "I have a request to come this time."

"You are Yan Liben's brother." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Yan Liben and I have some friendship. If you have anything, just tell me."

"I want to draw the appearance of that divine bird." Yan Lide expressed his thoughts.

"You talk about it." Gu Qing glanced at the empty eaves of his house, "It has flew away again now, not here."

"No." Yan Lide asked again with a little disappointed, "I wonder when I will come back?"

"When will it fly back?" Gu Qing kept silent and replied, "I don't know this, it mainly depends on its mood."

"Its mood?" Yan Lide was surprised.

"Well, it's like a gust of wind and books come and go whenever you say it." Gu Qing whispered, "Brother Yan, why not like this, you can live in the village. I'll arrange a house for you in the village. As long as it comes back, you can draw anytime."

"It's good."

Yan Lide was originally a court painter, Gu Qing thought in his heart, "If it weren't for Brother Yan, he would teach his painting skills to the students of the academy."

"But..." Yan Lide hesitated, "The family's skills have always been passed down from outsiders."

"Didn't Yan Liben teach in the academy?" Gu Qing said disapprovingly.

"Then it." Yan Lide spoke, "You can go to the academy to teach, but only replace Yan Liben. How did Yan Liben teach in the past? How did Yan Liben teach in the past? How did you do it?"

"Yes!" Gu Qing bowed his hands repeatedly.

"Then go to the academy first." Yan Lide said, "Let's say goodbye for the time being."

It was still raining in Chang'an. As soon as Chang'an City left the restaurant, seven merchants sat in front of Li Ran, "Everyone, they are all famous merchants in Jiangnan. The little woman dared to ask, Jiangnan and the Central Plains have always had good trade deals, but why did she fall in love with Gu Qing?"

"That's right." One of them replied, "I came to Chang'an here and heard a lot of the deeds of Mr. Gu, and I also know that Mr. Gu has a strange personality and needs Mr. Gu to help in some businesses."

"It seems that Gu Qing's business is not intercepting you Jiangnan, right?" Li Ran continued.

"That's really not." Several merchants smiled, "We have been doing business for so many years, and our family has also been ups and downs. It is said that Mr. Gu has a big deal in his hands, and we, Jiangnan, also want to help Mr. Gu manage it together."

Li Ran smiled and looked at the rain outside without saying anything for a long time. The purpose of these people was almost exactly what they thought.

"Everyone knows that the head of the Li family in Zhao County has a lot of connections with the Gu family." Several merchants said again, "If you go to see each other in a hurry, it will be very disturbing, so I would also like to ask the head of the Li family in Zhao County to discuss with the Gu family."

"Gu Qing and I don't have such a deep friendship." Li Ran stopped looking at these businessmen and turned around to look at the rain scene.

When people knew Li Ran's attitude, they were a little surprised, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

An official walked in from the tower and spoke to these merchants in Jiangnan, "Several, His Highness the Crown Prince summoned him."

The merchants were overjoyed when they heard the reply and said to Li Ran, "I'm disturbed, so I have to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be fair."

Li Ran said calmly: "Let's walk slowly, don't send me off. Don't wet your shoes on rainy days."

There was something in his words, and several merchants stopped in their ears and followed these officials to see the prince.

"The head of the family." A maid came to report, "The powerful and powerful in Chang'an went to give gifts to Gu Qing."

"What is Gu Qing's attitude?" Li Ran whispered.

"The Gu family accepted it, but Gu Qing didn't come forward at all and had no promises." The maid replied.

The profit of sea trade is huge, and the Jiangnan chaebols have long been very popular. Since ancient times, Jiangnan has become rich. If you want to say that business, Jiangnan people have gained three of the flavors.

"Transfer the news here to the Gu family." Li Ran whispered.

"Yes!" the maid replied.

The relationship between the Li family in Zhao County and the Gu family starts with the destruction of the five surnames and seven sects. Although there are still several remaining families, they are still dead and dare not show up. Li Ran also understands that this is an opportunity for the Li family in Zhao County and to become the first family in the Central Plains.

At this moment, Li Tai was also facing the Shandong gentry in front of him in the academy. After the influence of the academy increased, these Shandong gentry people began to notice the importance of this academy in the Central Plains. According to Gu Qing's financial resources, he could open a few more such academic academies, which also posed a huge threat to the Shandong gentry lineage, which was always led by scholars.
