Vol 2 Chapter 801: Drunkard doesn’t mean wine

"Ancestor, please sit down."
Gu Jiu got up to meet the order of the Shaofu family.
Shaofu Jialing was happy, glanced at the Wenqing Bookstore across the street, and said: "It's quite lively here, with a good view."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, and pointed to the Wenqing Bookstore across the street and said: "There is a debate today. I heard that I am the best of the North and South students, and one can speak good words in each competition."
"No matter how good they are, they can't be as successful as Xiao Jiu."
After speaking, the young man made a laugh.
"The ancestor is absurd. I don't dare to compete with the students who have read poetry and books. The ancestors have tea!"
"Tea can be drunk at any time. Your Majesty is already urging the road construction. Should we also make an early decision."
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "I listen to my ancestors. What the ancestors say to do, I will do it, as long as I don't make me suffer."
Shaofu’s family Lingle said,
It’s always been you making money, and there is no time when you lose. The old man promises you, and you do it on your terms. The old man from the household department has also communicated well. As long as you start work here, the household department will Transport two thousand dans of grain and grass to the construction site."
Two thousand dan?
It is not too much, and it cannot be said to be less.
I can only say a little sincere.
Gu Jiu smiled without saying a word.
Shaofu Jialing then continued: "The imperial court only occupies 20% of the toll gates and does not intervene in the construction and operation of toll gates and rest stations. Everything is up to you."
"The blacksmith I want?" Gu Jiu asked with a smile.
Shaofu’s family order is very simple, "The blacksmith will also give it to you. The blacksmith who will be the supervisor, you can choose ten people, and the slavery will be given to you. Give people to you, they are your people, you can do whatever you want."
Gu Jiu laughed.
The 20% shares and the supply of grain and grass are all vain.
All the bargaining is for the blacksmith who will be the supervisor.
The supervisor is not strict with the craftsmen who repair the house and the road. Gu Jiu wants it, just say it.
But for the blacksmith, the major general has strict control over his supervision.
These blacksmiths have been slaves for generations, and their ancestors, descendants and grandchildren are slaves of the Shaofu.
Their skills have also been passed down from generation to generation.
Their every word, deed, every move is under the control of the Shaofu.
It is difficult for people outside to reach them.
Even if Liu Zhao, the eldest prince, did not allow him, he would never want to take a blacksmith away from the general supervisor.
why?
Because these blacksmiths have the top iron smelting technology and forging technology of this era.
All ironwork with technical content comes from the hand of the supervising blacksmith.
All weapons in the army, including but not limited to swords and guns, shields, lock armor, large siege equipment, and crossbow arrows with amazing lethality, are all forged by the supervising blacksmith.
These blacksmiths are slaves.
But their technology is definitely a top master.
There are also many iron shops in the private sector.
Most of them can only make kitchen knives and hoes, simple farm tools.
Devices with slightly higher technical content are very laborious.
Let alone smelting iron, the skill of the folk blacksmiths is not worthy of even lifting shoes compared with the blacksmiths who are the guards of the young man.
War is about to begin.
Gu Jiu must advance the iron smelting plan that has been delayed.
Not to mention the creation of more sharp weapons, at least the means of transportation must be improved.
The current means of transportation are too slow and too slow. Not good enough for cement roads.
Gu Jiu wanted to make a carriage.
But before making a carriage, the bearing problem must be solved first.
What's so difficult about the carriage?
It's hard to turn.
The bearing is solved, and the turning of the carriage is no longer a problem.
With a four-wheeled carriage, the speed can be twice as fast as it is now. The carrying capacity can be at least two or three hundred catties more.
Today’s wooden carriages have many problems.
It is a common problem that wooden wheels break halfway.
Moreover, wooden wheels are slow and have limited bearing capacity.
All in all, a four-wheeled carriage is imperative.
Transportation should keep up with the development of roads.
If technology improves, even simple bicycles can be made.
Cycling in ancient times must be fun.
The prerequisite for all this is the need for a skilled blacksmith.
With the top blacksmiths of this era, Gu Jiu's iron smelting technology can be realized.
She joked: "There will be so many people who will be the supervisor, and only ten blacksmiths will be given to me, not enough to build a few iron pots."
puff!
Is the blacksmith, who will be the supervisor, used to build iron pots?
It's a violent thing.
The Young Mansion Clan Ling Yu said earnestly: "Xiao Jiu, the Young Mansion has its own operating mechanism. The craftsman of the Young Mansion is not the old man who can give you as much as he says. This time I can give you ten craftsmen, all of them Your Majesty is kind. If you don't, you won't be able to take a blacksmith away."
Gu Jiu looked surprised and did not seem to be fake.
"Do you still need your Majesty nod to agree with this little matter?"
"It's about the blacksmith, it's not a trivial matter." Shaofu Jialing said very seriously.
Gu Jiu said.
The Young Master Ling was not relieved, and said two more words, "These blacksmiths give you, you must not make things that are taboo. Don't give it to the prince, because it will easily cause suspicion."
Gu Jiu solemnly said: "Thank you ancestors for reminding me that I just want to build an iron workshop to make small gadgets. I promise not to make taboo things. When my small workshop is built, if my ancestors are not at ease, they can send someone there. Check the small workshop to ensure that it is clean and there will never be things that shouldn't appear."
"That's great! In the future, the old man will really send someone to check your small workshop."
Xiaofu Jialing bit the word "small workshop" very hard, obviously reminding Gu Jiu not to take risks.
There is really no secret at the feet of the emperor.
Even if there is a secret, it will be able to find out sooner or later by sending Jinwuwei.
Gu Jiu nodded his head very seriously and was very sincere.
She just made bearings, wheels, and modified carriages. This is not a taboo.
Well, it's definitely not a taboo.
Gu Jiu smiled sweetly.
Shaofu Jialing was relieved by half, and half had to wait for Gu Jiu's small iron workshop to be personally inspected before he could truly be relieved.
Finished talking about business.
Gu Jiu pointed to the Wenqing Bookstore across the street, "Does the court leave it alone?"
puff!
The young man made his beard tremble and tremble, "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, don’t you feel bad when you say this? Why is there today’s situation? Isn’t it all provoked by the life show? You can calm this down with just one sentence After a protracted battle, how can you ask the court to come forward?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "My ancestors said that was not correct. Strictly speaking, the "Guo Zi Jian Bao" provoked this dispute, and the life show was just a reasonable counterattack. As for the subsequent academy disputes, regional disputes, the Guo Zi Jian did not Don't fan the flames behind your back.
Old ancestors, shouldn’t the court take care of the Guozijian’s style of acting in fear of the world? All the people in the Imperial College were stripped naked, and all the people in the capital were waiting for the court's response, but the court did not respond. You know, people's hearts are already shaking. If you continue to condone the Imperial College, the consequences will be disastrous. I am afraid it will chill the hearts of scholars in the world! "
Gu Jiu's words are earnest and earnest, with a sincere attitude of thinking about the court for the Imperial College.
However, Shaofu Jialing felt a headache.
"Xiao Jiu, you don't want to sell it. Every time you talk about it, you must be doing something. For you, just save a bit of saliva and tell the old man directly what you want to do."
Gu Jiu was a little embarrassed.
"I can't hide anything from the ancestors, and the ancestors really have eyes like torches. The younger generation thinks that it is time for the Imperial College to rectify, and give the students a bright future and rebuild the reputation of the Imperial College."
Shao Fu Jia Ling laughed, "It's difficult! The reputation of the Imperial College has completely ruined the life show, how can it be reformed?"
Gu Jiu said in a loud voice: "Next year will be the year of imperial examination, and it will be the opportunity for the Imperial College to stand up. As long as the students of the Imperial College will perform well in the imperial examination next year, the students from all over the world will rebuild their confidence in the Imperial College."
Shaofu Clan Ling looked at Gu Jiu with a weird look, "At the beginning, it was a life show in your name. He spared no effort to attack the Imperial College and put the Imperial College into 18 hells. Now, you are worried about the Imperial College's renewal of its reputation. Xiao Jiu. , The old man asks you, what exactly do you want to do?"
Gu Jiu smiled slightly, and what he spit out was shocking.
"The former Imperial College is not worthy of being an opponent of Shanhe Academy. I hope to reorganize the Imperial College and rebuild a Guozijian worthy of the Shanhe Academy."
Shaofu Jialing was stunned.
It took a while before he came back to his senses, "For this reason?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "The previous Imperial College was so bad, and he didn't want to make progress. Decades, hundreds of years, like a day, it is irritating. After this severe damage, I think the Imperial College should change."
Shaofu Jialing asked curiously: "Don't you worry that the Imperial College will be severely injured and your vitality will not be able to recover?"
Gu Jiu looked out the window, "I believe that the Imperial College will not collapse. The court will not allow him, and the students will not allow him to collapse. The Imperial College is backed by the court. If the Imperial College cannot overcome any difficulties, it is not worthy to be the world. The first institution."
There is some truth to this.
After some consideration, Shaofu Jialing said: "The imperial court will definitely not let the Imperial College collapse. The difficulty lies in how to rectify it."
"If all the problems are removed, how can we rectify them?" Gu Jiu asked back.
The young man made a laugh, "The officialdom is not doing business, it's not as simple as you think. But the old man still has to thank you for the court, and uncovering the sore of the Imperial College. Although it hurts, it is better than death."
"Thank you ancestors for your understanding, I just hope that everything is going in a good direction."
