Gu Shao knew that the essays he had written during those few nights were not in vain. Qin Zheng didn't put on an attitude of just putting on a show when he came to Pingsu this time. He did ask a lot about the disaster.She sent Xia Wen out, and the two chatted while walking, when they were approaching the door, Xia Wen suddenly stopped, hesitated before saying: "Sir, just now His Highness said that he would invite Mrs. Xu's family to come here for a banquet, I don't know, what is the purpose?" ?"

What is his intention for doing this? Gu Shao also wanted to know, he thought about it carefully, and came up with a general idea. Xu Gongdong is now nearly fifty this year, and he is a military commander. His family has married early. I heard that he has five sons. To have a daughter, until the age of 33, the wife of the original wife became pregnant again, and this time gave birth to a daughter.Since then, this daughter has become his treasure, and he spoils him beyond measure, which makes people jealous.He had three concubines, and one concubine was never able to conceive. This woman was cruel, and one day when the whole family went out to worship the Buddha in the temple, she scalded the young girl's throat with boiling water. Since then, the girl has never been married again. Can make a sound.

Xu Gongdong was very cautious and calm no matter facing the killing field or the court. The most impulsive thing he did in his life was to chop the concubine with a knife.An attendant pleaded guilty on his behalf. The emperor was afraid that he would be criticized, so when Chen Jilong was still able to fight, he did not use him too much, but the emperor knew that this man was really a sharp knife, and he was always by his side, and he was reluctant to wear him down too much.

What I saw during the day should be Xu Xiuer, Xu Gongdong's youngest daughter.Master Xia has good eyesight, but unfortunately, the marriage of the children of powerful ministers, like a heavenly family, is never dominated by individuals, nor by parents, but by power.

When Gu Shao said that he was going to Taipu County, Qin Zheng felt that it was inappropriate. The disaster there was too serious, and it would be useless for her to go there. Those who do big things should be in charge of the overall situation, and don't stick to one moment and one place.Some of the Yue Qiwei over there can go there to cooperate with the Xiang army to provide disaster relief, but it is really unnecessary for her to go there.Gu Shao walked to the map of Pingsu Mansion, and pointed to the source of the earthquake with a thin wooden stick in his hand: "The earthquake started here, causing a hurricane, and then the sea overflowed, and according to the records of the prefecture and county, this situation has already It has not been seen for more than 200 years. It can be seen that Pingsu Prefecture is not a place with frequent earthquakes, and Taipu County is not the epicenter. Has your Highness ever thought that here, stacking stones as embankments will completely prevent hurricanes from causing earthquakes? Haiyi reappeared?"

Qin Zheng didn't say anything for a while, Xia Wen got up and replied: "Building the seawall requires the efforts of tens of thousands of people. Isn't it too much work for the people and money for the sir to mention this matter at this time?"

Waste of money.What a big hat to buckle down.

Qin Zheng didn't refute or agree, he just said that he must attend the dinner tonight.

When the two were walking on the road, Luo Yuanyu yelled at her angrily: "I've never seen such a counselor who can't figure out what he wants. Do you get burned in your head every time you encounter a matter of people's livelihood and national economy? It's a mess, and you don't know yourself. Who is it? It’s so hot that I don’t know where I am, and this smart head is cooking porridge.” Gu Shao dodged his poking fingers and sighed helplessly: “How is the situation in Beijing?”

----"As you wish, Zhang Liangzuo of the Northwest Guard and Gao Guangzheng of the Jinwu Guard are fighting fiercely both openly and secretly. They both want to guard the Imperial City instead of Yong'an City. Why would the Emperor not understand this? But he is very sick now Confused, maybe these things are hidden from him, he really doesn't understand who can control the inside and outside of the palace first after he dies."

Gu Shao saw Xu Xiu'er again from a distance, but this time he was not giving medicine, but porridge.Suddenly his ears moved: "I'm going back to Yong'an this time, should I drink your wine?" The teacher entrusted Qing'er to me, and I will be a good student to protect her for the rest of her life. When I get back, I will marry you and go home, and then you have to drink with me until I get drunk!" Gu Shao kept looking at Xu Xiu'er, before turning around and smiling Smiling: "Okay." He got excited again: "When can I drink your wedding wine!" Gu Shao asked this question, and walked back with his hands behind his back, probably... in his next life.

Xu Gongdong's third son Xu Ming and youngest daughter Xu Xiu'er only came to the dinner party at Xu's Mansion, and they were the only ones staying in Pingsu Mansion. His mother was seriously ill last year and was taken to Yong'an City to recuperate. The other aunts went to Yong'an early, brother They are also officials outside.They have one mother and three compatriots, only the eldest brother is an official in Yong'an, and the two of them live leisurely in Pingsu Mansion.

The first time Qin Zheng saw Xu Xiu'er, Xia Wen didn't hide his expression well, the sunken pupils were too obvious.Xu Xiu'er couldn't speak, and her girl's official speech was not very accurate. Qin Zheng turned to Xu Ming disappointed. He liked this person quite a bit.Gu Shao sat on Xu Xiu'er's hands and saw that she had been eating less, so she asked if there was any dish she liked and could the cook cook it. She gestured and the girl was about to speak, but Gu Shao blinked at her and hissed in a very soft voice He said: "I can understand your lady's words." After speaking, he gestured to Xu Xiu'er and said, "It turns out that I was negligent about your fasting, and I didn't ask anyone to ask in advance." Xu Xiu'er blushed slightly: "Mr. You're too polite, I'm not important, I just want to accompany my elder brother to learn more."

The two talked for a long time before realizing that they were all looking at them. Gu Shao said, "I chatted with Ms. Xiu'er, you don't have to pay attention." Qin Zheng stared at her for a long time before laughing. : "It seems that Mr. is really hiding something, and there are many surprises waiting for me to discover in the follow-up."

Xu Xiu'er kept thinking in the carriage, her girl glanced at the third young master riding outside and said: "Miss, I really didn't expect that gentleman to understand gestures, but his left half of his face is covered with a mask, which is a bit scary. It's not bad, I think he also likes Miss a little..." Xu Xiu'er slapped her with the back of her hand before she finished speaking, Xu Xiu'er annoyed her for not saying a word, Gu Shao is a woman, and she knew it the day she almost bumped into her.

Chapter 36 Chapter 36

The sun seems to be able to bring endless hope. It has been gloomy these days, and when the sun comes out, people are full of energy.It was the first time in six or seven days since I came to Pingsu Mansion to see the sun. Gu Shao was also happy. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. It was near the sea, and there was always a sea breeze, but it didn’t feel stuffy. I got up early in the morning and practiced martial arts, and waited for Qin Zheng to wake up. After having breakfast together, she asked Qin Zheng if he would go out to the palace for a walk. Qin Zheng pondered for a while and hesitated: "This is a disaster area, and it's already chaotic. The king is not worried about the lack of security, but it's just that going out is not easy." Nothing to see."

It is rare for Gu Shao to be interested in persuading him: "There is a good-looking Highness, go out for a walk, and I will definitely not let you down."

Qin Zheng also felt that it was quite boring to stay in the palace all day, so he decided to go out after asking about the location.Xu Ming worked in the Ministry of Industry and was sent to Pingsu Mansion as the head of the shipyard. Gu Shao said to visit his shipyard, and Qin Zheng thought it was feasible.

After arriving at the shipyard, Gu Shao discovered that Xu Xiuer was also there, but Qin Zheng got off the carriage and she hid.After seeing the shipyard, Qin Zheng was also amazed: "This king has never known that Dayan's shipbuilding technology is so superb, Mr. Xu, you have credit." Xu Ming knelt on one knee and replied: "This is the first person in the shipyard of Pingsu Prefecture. I don't dare to claim credit for the experience accumulated by the first chief. Your Highness, the ships built by our shipyard are now transported to inland rivers. The keel of our ship is so strong. It's a pity..."

Qin Zheng was still in high spirits, and asked casually, "Why is it such a pity?"

----"If the imperial court can agree to put the ships of Pingsu Mansion into the sea, and let them go to the countries on the other side of the sea, so as to make the maritime trade more prosperous, then it will make the best use of everything."

When he finished speaking, Qin Zheng suddenly smiled, got up and shook his sleeves: "It's late, the king is back to the palace." A group of people sent him off respectfully, and when he was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly turned around and pointed at Gu Shao: "You, always Thinking about plotting against me! Why are we here, sir, don’t forget! Can it be so easy to build a seaport? Do we really need to think so far away now?” Gu Shao took his time Reply to him: "His Royal Highness, building a seaport in Pingsu Mansion is a matter of eternal benefit, the sooner the better. No one dares to mention this matter in the imperial court. When His Highness leaves Pingsu Mansion, this matter will last forever." No one will mention it again. If you are given a good opportunity today, Your Highness, do you really not want to do this?"

Qin Zheng looked at her with some puzzlement: "Sometimes, I really can't see through you. But working with you, I always make people feel, I feel very energetic. For example, I came to Pingsu Mansion for disaster relief. The king was in Beijing, and he didn't know whether the orders he did were really beneficial to the people and Dayan, but now, you have shown me that being a good ruler can really improve the people's lives. They will also be sincerely grateful to Dade for supporting you. It will make people feel that the rewards are rewarded, and the rewards are generous, and let this king understand what is the responsibility of the heavenly family. Doing these things is more interesting than the power struggle in Beijing. But sir, don’t forget, if we can’t achieve what we want, all of this will cease to exist. The king now grants you the privilege. If you feel that the construction of the harbor does not conflict with what we are planning now, you can do it. Do it, go for it!"
