I don’t know when, but Gu Qing’s changed image has become deeply ingrained in the hearts of the villagers in Shiqiao Village.

The cowardly, honest and introverted look of the past still remains in everyone's mind, but everyone's eyes can really see how Gu Qing looks now. He is strong, righteous, and simple and rough in his actions. Occasionally, you can see some inexplicable vicissitudes of life on his face.

.

No one felt anything was wrong, it seemed that the young man named Gu Qing should be like this. The cowardly and honest Gu Qing back then was just a facade, but now he is the real him.

He is obviously young and has not even grown a beard on his mouth, but all the villagers can't help but regard him as the leader of the village. His words, orders and shouts will be ignored as long as they are heard.

Implement it without hesitation and never think about whether it is right or not. In the simple villagers' minds, Gu Qing must have thought about the question of "right or wrong" and will only speak out after confirming its correctness. So, what doubts are there?

?Just do it.

Subtly, moisturize things silently. The cowardly Gu Qing in the past has died in people's hearts, but now Gu Qing is living vividly.

The recent focus of work in Shiqiao Village is not porcelain. Porcelain burning has fixed manpower. The craftsmen and handymen hired by Hao Donglai are qualified. The busiest thing in the village is infrastructure. Gu Qing said that to expand Shiqiao Village, many people will have to move in the future.

Most of the people who came here were family members of porcelain kiln craftsmen and handymen. They had to have a place to live, so building houses became the focus of the villagers' recent work. Of course, they were all paid.

The most indispensable thing in the countryside is land. There used to be a large piece of land to the west of the village. It used to be a bamboo forest. Later, the villagers wanted to build a roof for their own house, make a bamboo table, etc., and the bamboo forest was cut down one after another.

, Gu Qing and Feng Aweng looked around, and finally Gu Qing made the decision to simply clear out all the bamboo forest and build new residential buildings here.

The amount of the project is not small, and all the villagers who can work are mobilized, regardless of men, women, old and young, but there are still not enough manpower. We can only occasionally temporarily assign people from the craftsmen and handymen on the mountain, and the remuneration will naturally make them happy.

.

The construction site was in full swing, and Gu Qing occasionally came to inspect it. Every time he saw the rows of houses gradually taking shape, he was always in a good mood.

Unknowingly, this place has become an important part of his life. This is his inheritance and his home.

…………

Xianyu Zhongtong hasn't left yet.

Yesterday, maybe I stayed in the mountains for too long and was too confused. I was tired, hungry and scared, so I drank a few sips of wine and got inexplicably drunk.

After getting up this morning, Xianyu Zhongtong planned to leave at the urging of the ministers. The Jiedong government in Yizhou was still waiting for him to take office as the Jiedushi envoy, but he was on his way as if he was traveling around the mountains and rivers.

I'm afraid it doesn't make sense to speed up my pace.

Xianyu Zhongtong, who had changed into clean clothes, walked to the door of Gu Qing's house. His entourage knocked on the door. After a long time, Gu Qing opened the door and looked at everyone outside with an unhappy look.

Xianyu Zhongtong was a little puzzled.

Didn’t the old grudges get settled yesterday? We all drank together and sang poems, and finally parted ways happily. The atmosphere was very harmonious, so why did we look unhappy again when we met today?

"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief." Gu Qing stood at the door and saluted.

Xianyu Zhongtong was originally displeased, but he was a scholar after all. He had come into contact with various literati with eccentric personalities in Chang'an City. The more talented the literati were, the weirder their tempers were. This young man could compose such an amazing Mid-Autumn Festival poem.

, even if his temper is a bit weird, it is not incomprehensible.

So Xianyu Zhongtong decided to ignore Gu Qing's indifferent expression magnanimously, nodded and walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his hands.

"I drank too much yesterday, and I was a little drunk. It was not enough for you and me to have fun talking about poetry. Do you think so?" Xianyu Zhongtong said, looking at the simple courtyard.

Gu Qing was stunned, you almost took off your clothes and ran away, how else can you enjoy yourself to the fullest?

"Jie Shuai, uh, I'm so excited, I admire you."

"Don't tell lies. I just want to ask you, apart from Mid-Autumn Festival poems, are there any other masterpieces? They can be poems or short and long sentences. With your talent, you should be more than this one, right? Take it out and let me feast your eyes on it."

Gu Qing shook his head: "No one in the countryside has the leisure to compose poems. The Mid-Autumn Festival poems are just inspired by chance. Apart from this, there is nothing new."

Xianyu Zhongtong frowned: "I think the Mid-Autumn Festival poems are enough to look down upon the talents of the Tang Dynasty, how can I only write one? When it comes to poetry, you should be diligent in your work, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of talent?"

Gu Qing said helplessly: "The boy is not keen on poetry, so he only composed this one."

Xianyu Zhongtong shook his head with some disappointment and said: "That's all, it's a pity for your talent. Gu Qing, I'm leaving today. If you have new poems in the future, you might as well send someone to Yizhou Festival Mansion. I have my own remuneration and won't let anyone else."

Running away in vain.”

When he heard that Xianyu Zhongtong was finally leaving, Gu Qing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even his attitude became much more enthusiastic: "Is Commander Jie leaving now? Why don't you stay for a few more days?"

Xianyu Zhongtong was stunned, quickly glanced at the guest next to him, and said slowly: "Since you are kind enough to keep me here, it's not a bad idea to stay for a few days, just to see the customs and customs here..."

Gu Qing: "…………"

I'm so angry, I really want to slap myself in the face until my mouth becomes swollen, but it's inconvenient to slap myself in front of outsiders, and I feel so stuck!

So were all ancient people so down-to-earth? Can’t you hear what polite words mean?

"Jie, Commander Jie, you...there should be many military and national events waiting for you in Yizhou, right?" Gu Qing tried to save the building from falling.

Xianyu Zhongtong looked around the yard and said calmly: "No need to worry, no need to worry, the Jiefu has been without a coach for half a year, and there hasn't been any big commotion."

As he spoke, Xianyu Zhongtong's eyes lit up, he pointed at a wooden plate on the east side of the yard and said, "Hey, what is this? It's weird."

Gu Qing looked down listlessly with his fingers and said: "The sand table is just a joke."

Xianyu Zhongtong waved his hand and ordered his followers to carry the sand table to the middle of the yard. He bent his waist with his hands behind his hands and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more curious his eyes became: "There are mountains, water and houses. This is..."

"A boy has opened a porcelain kiln in the back mountain, and there are always villains coveting it, so he made a sand table to make it easier for the young men in the village to patrol and defend. The villagers are a bit stupid and can't read maps, so making a sand table will make it more intuitive."

Gu Qing explained on the side, Xianyu Zhongtong seemed not to hear at all, still staring at the sand table, his face became more and more solemn. Not only him, but also the guest next to him were attracted, and they unconsciously came closer, and the two of them stared at the sand table.

His expression changed, and he raised his head to exchange glances from time to time.

After a long time, Xianyu Zhongtong straightened up and said in a deep voice: "Did you create this thing?"

"yes."

"Does anyone know?"

Gu Qing didn't understand. It was just a sandbox. The two of them looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, which made him nervous.

"Except for the villagers in this village, no one knows about it." Gu Qing said uneasily. In his opinion, the sand table is just a handicraft and not an earth-shattering secret. Compared with the discovery of coal, the sand table can really only be regarded as his.

It was just a show for a while, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

Xianyu Zhongtong looked at the hostess, who nodded solemnly: "Things are not very difficult to understand. I can understand them at a glance. The main reason is that no one has thought of such an exquisite thing in the past. It's handsome, this thing is of great use!"

Xian Yu Zhongtong's appearance had completely changed at this moment. He was completely different from the wild and heartless literati look he had yesterday. At this moment, Gu Qing could really see the calm and old-fashioned flavor of a feudal official.

"Send someone to make arrangements. I will stay here for a few more days. You can study this thing more thoroughly these days to gain a thorough understanding. After you understand it, write it down. After arriving in Yizhou, send people to survey the terrain of Jiannan, Tubo, Nanzhao and other places.

Make a few sandboxes like this."
