Chapter 490 The pot comes from the sky

"Go back to Your Majesty." Wang Qin bowed and said, "Li Junxian had completely lost his message a few days ago."

"Send someone to find a secret again." Li Er whispered.

Wang Qin hurriedly left to do things, Li Er put Gu Qing's magazine aside, and someone in Chang'an immediately withdrew the announcement posted by Gu Qing. He originally thought that the forces in Chang'an would move, but the other party seemed to be a stagnant pool.

Instead of making moves because others tear off the announcement, Gu Qing posted it directly in a magazine. In recent years, magazines have long become popular reading materials for the people of Chang'an. Basically, people who are literate will buy a very cheap book, and a thin book is easy to read. This time Gu Qing printed thousands of copies.

This magazine is Gu Qing's weapon for all kinds of things. Li Er is still very distressed. Gu Qing's treatment for recruiting civil servants is really good. He has been consistent in one month and has a vacation. Thinking about the salaries of middle and lower-level officials in the court, Li Er began to get nervous. What if those officials change jobs? Otherwise, they will increase their salaries? But there is money everywhere in the court, and the treasury is not so full.

"Gu Qing, this bastard!" Li Er threw the memorial to the ground in anger.

As soon as Empress Changsun walked outside the Ganlu Hall, she heard Li Er's scolding and stopped unconsciously. What trouble did Gu Qing cause? She walked in with a bowl of soup and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"Guanyin maid." Li Er said as he cried, "Why do I still feel that I am not as rich as Gu Qing?"

"I'm sorry for saying something unpleasant." Empress Changsun said with a smile, "Your Majesty is so incompetent that you swallow an elephant. Gu Qing just knows contentment. He just wants to live his own little life, and he also lives the life he wants to live. Only then will His Majesty be envious of this."

After taking the soup handed over by Empress Changsun, Li Er took a sip, "This Gu Qing has no ambition, but I cannot be without ambition. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty cannot be without ambition. It is good to keep the success, but if the dust remains unchanged, it will only become more and more corrupt."

Empress Changsun smiled and said nothing.

Once the magazine was published, it caused a sensation in the market. This time, the benefits of Gu Qing's recruitment of civilians were not a small amount. A month of money was not a small amount. Ordinary people had to work for several months a year to get a consistent income. If they worked for a year or two, they would have the money to marry a wife and build a house.

Just when many Chang'an's strong forces were planning to respond, the magazine did not say how to register. After a few inquiries, they realized that this was recruited by the current New Gui County Duke. People speculated how much financial resources the New Gui County Duke, who is rich enough to rival the country, had.

The magazine was in the court again. At the court meeting, Li Er was still hesitating whether to tell the increase in salary. Immediately, a court official stood up and said, "Your Majesty! County Duke Gu Qing encouraged the people to build a port with huge profits. If the feelings are surging in Chang'an, how many people are willing to farm? This will bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"You're not finished yet, right?" Cheng Yaojin shouted immediately.

"Do you have any opinions on General Cheng?" The other party looked at Cheng Yaojin with a smile, "It's better to say it out and let's listen."

"I don't have any opinion. I just know that you, the older generation, are not enterprising! You are not doing things for the country with your salary, but want to oppress a junior!" Cheng Yaojin waved his sleeves, "I am ashamed to stand in the same court with you."

"The official is only in his hands and should say it." He said to Li Er again, "Your Majesty, agriculture and serenity are the foundation of the country, and Gu Qing's move must be curbed!"

Li Er's eyes flashed and he did not express any opinion. "I will discuss this matter later."

When things came here, Li Chengqian, who was standing in the court, could feel that the atmosphere was wrong! Forget it once, but there were tricks in the matter of Gu Qing twice or three times. No wonder his father never made a decision.

Shandong gentry? This is Li Chengqian’s first idea.

In the village, Gu Qing listened to the dwarf telling what happened in the court today, "Gu Too, it's too much for them to be so aggressive."

"Don't worry!" Gu Qing smiled instead, "Sit it aside for a while, and you can let go of the wind."

"What kind of wind?" the dwarf was puzzled.

"Everyone in the court said this, how dare I recruit people again?" Gu Qing sighed, "The world is cold and I can't commit crimes against the wind."

"Gu Tou Er!" sighed, "Gu Tou Er's move is really high!"

"Go and do things." Gu Qing lay lazily on the smooth stone, preparing to take a nap.

The short man went to do things in a hurry. When Li Zhi came and saw Gu Qing sleeping, Mo An quietly sat next to the stone. After a while, he spoke: "Gu Qing, is someone dealing with you? Is this matter going to be ruined?"

"Does Your Highness King Jin want to help me?" Gu Qing said with Youyou.

"I don't want to get involved!" Li Zhi nodded seriously, "It was you who said that I want to study hard now."

"It's good to know, so stay wherever you are cool, don't disturb my sleep." Gu Qing's eyes didn't open.

The hearts of the people are a very complicated thing, and Li Tai also learned the news. The court officials who opposed Gu Qing in the court either came from other places or from Shandong gentry. Gu Qing overthrew the aristocratic family and directly wiped out the Guanlong family. The Shandong gentry, one of the Central Plains forces, naturally saw it.

The autumn wind was very irritating, Fang Yizhi said to Li Tai, "I don't want to live with my tail between my legs. Everyone is in danger. Gu Qing is a sharp sword in His Majesty's hand. They must be careful and suppress."

Li Tai also nodded, "The Shandong gentry is very smart. They start from the fundamentals of things and let them stand their own foothold, and they can also crush Gu Qing to death."

Ten days later, many strong laborers in the market were waiting for Gu Qing to start recruiting people, but this incident was like a rock sinking into the sea without any news. After several whispers and inquiries, people knew that the reason why this matter was slow was because of the opposition from the court, and the county magistrate Gu Qing could only restrain him because of this incident.

The reason has caused a lot of sensation among the people, which has alarmed many people. There are more and more voices. Many people want to build a port. The income of money in a month is really quite large. Moreover, every household now has surplus grain. After having potatoes, the grain output has also doubled several times. In addition, there is a large granary in Nanzhao, and the Central Plains are not short of food at all.

In the court, the country is always saying that agriculture and sericulture are the foundation of the country.

"Did they still live ten years ago?" This was what the people in the market shouted.
