When Gu Qing ordered the villagers to invite Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing, the two shopkeepers were already approaching the entrance of the village.

As soon as the county government officials set off from the county seat, Hao Donglai heard the news and hurriedly called Shi Daxing to come to Shiqiao Village. As soon as the officials left, they arrived on the back.

A fat man with a ball of fat and a big man with a face full of flesh came panting to the fence of the porcelain kiln. Looking at the sealed fence door, Hao Donglai stamped his feet and said angrily: "What the hell is going on?

If we don’t cause disaster or cause trouble, why did the county magistrate seal our porcelain kiln?”

Shi Daxing said coldly: "Fat Hao, you are a dirty person. Please think about whether you have done anything bad recently. Otherwise, how could the county magistrate seal the porcelain kiln for no reason?"

Hao Donglai was furious: "You are so stupid! You are simply a powerful thief! You must have offended the county magistrate."

Shi Daxing sneered: "After so many years of business, who has a clean bottom? Fatty Hao, do you think you are a good person?"

The two of them quarreled more and more fiercely, and then they got into a fight, each grabbing the other's shirt and yelling at each other. The two faces, one fat and the other ugly, got closer and closer, spitting on each other's faces, and they were about to kiss.

The picture looks inexplicably ugly yet indescribably harmonious and loving...

Gu Qing crossed his arms and looked at the two of them. He did not start a fight or try to persuade them to make peace. Instead, he stared at their mouths with interest. The more he watched, the more excited he became. Until the two of them were arguing and getting closer, so close that they were about to kiss. Gu Qing exposed his face.

Blessing smile.

The two people were quarreling and spitting at each other. Suddenly they felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. They turned around and were shocked to see Gu Qing's face with a weird smile.

"Uh, Young Master, don't you say something?" Hao Donglai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a forced smile.

Shi Daxing also said: "Yes, Mr. Young Master, you have the largest share in the porcelain kiln. Why do you look like you are just watching the excitement right now?"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Because it's fun to watch, and for some reason, I always feel that you two can grow old together..."

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were stunned for a moment, and then both showed disgusting expressions. Looking at the distance between each other, the two bounced away like an electric shock. Hao Donglai couldn't help but bend down and retched several times. Shi Daxing was greatly insulted and also bent down.

Retching.

Seeing the seals on the fence, the two shopkeepers couldn't help but look sad. Hao Donglai sighed: "What happened? Magistrate Huang sealed our porcelain kiln without saying a word. Who offended him?"

Shi Daxing pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient to ask the county magistrate in person about this matter. If asked in person, there will be no room for change. Fatty Hao, you and I each have connections in the county government, so why not find someone else?"

Even if you ask around and ask questions, you must first find out the cause before you can solve it."

Gu Qing nodded and said: "Yes, as long as we understand the reason, it will not be difficult to solve it. The two of them have wider connections in the county government than me, so I rely on the two shopkeepers."

Hao Donglai smiled bitterly and said: "The official documents from Chief Fei have been submitted to the Chang'an Zhen official office. The porcelain kiln has been closed at this time, which will probably affect many people. It will be difficult to be designated as a tribute porcelain in the future."

The speaker was unintentional, but Gu Qing was moved in his heart and said: "Is it possible that the county magistrate's sealing of our porcelain kiln has something to do with tribute porcelain?"

The two shopkeepers were also stunned. After looking at each other, Hao Donglai said hesitantly: "It shouldn't be... right? Qingcheng County's tribute porcelain is also a good thing for County Magistrate Huang's future."

Shi Daxing said solemnly: "Not necessarily. Officials think differently from us civilians. The good things we think are immediate benefits. In the eyes of officials, what we see is long-term benefits. If you are a good official,

That is the public interest and the interests of the people."

Gu Qing vaguely felt that he had guessed something, and sighed: "There is something I don't know very well. I wonder if you guys know it. I heard that the current imperial concubine is particularly fond of Lingnan lychees, and the Holy Emperor only favors them. Every year when the lychees are ripe, they send horses to fly from Lingnan.

Delivered to Chang'an. Because of the lychee, the government and people in various places are very resentful because of the hard work of the people and the loss of money. Is this possible?"

Gu Qing only knew a rough idea about this matter. It was the popular poem from his previous life, "The concubine riding on the red earth laughs, no one knows it is the lychee coming." He vaguely remembered that the teacher explained the background of this poem. After listening to what Shi Daxing just said, Gu Qing

Only then did I suddenly think of lychees.

As soon as Gu Qing finished speaking, the two of them looked at him in shock, and then gradually showed signs of understanding.

Tribute porcelain and lychees may seem unrelated, but they are actually the same thing. They are both tributes sent to the palace. The production and transportation chain of tributes will inevitably break the inherent rules of the people, thus causing a chain reaction of destruction.

No one understands this better than businessmen.

Shi Daxing pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "I'm afraid...that's really the reason."

Hao Donglai also nodded.

Gu Qing asked again: "Is our County Magistrate Huang a good official?"

The two looked at each other again, smiled bitterly and nodded.

Hao Donglai said: "A bit conservative, not easy to deal with, especially not very fond of businessmen, but since he took office, he has built water conservancy projects, reclaimed wasteland, and has been very clean in his conduct and work. He has never heard of any unclean rumors. He is considered a good person."

official."

Shi Daxing also said: "Two years ago, the cousin of a Sima from Yizhou Governor's Office came to Qingcheng County to play. He broke a craftsman's leg while drunk. At that time, County Magistrate Huang immediately ordered the arrest. Later, the Yizhou man

Sima relied on his connections to plead for mercy, but Magistrate Huang remained unmoved. He withstood great pressure and sentenced the murderer to live in Qiongnan for three years. From this, we can see that Magistrate Huang has a very strong temper.

And he is not afraid of power."

As the two exchanged words, Gu Qing gradually gained an intuitive understanding of Magistrate Huang's character.

This kind of person is probably upright and upright, preferring to bend rather than bend. At the same time, he is somewhat conservative and stubborn. It is difficult to reason about the things he believes in and make him change his mind.

This is difficult to do.

When he came back to his senses and saw Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing looking at him eagerly, Gu Qing laughed: "I'm just a country boy. I was lucky enough to open a porcelain kiln. Of course, the two shopkeepers will take care of such official matters, but they don't dare to expect me.

ah."

The two of them immediately laughed, and Hao Donglai said: "The main reason is that Young Master is too magical. It seems that there is nothing you can't solve. We have all forgotten that you are only a teenager."

Gu Qingdao: "The cause of this matter still needs to be found out. It was just our guess. There may be another reason. After you return to Qingcheng County, you can use your contacts to find out, and then send someone to tell me. I will go to Qingcheng County to find you.

Let’s discuss countermeasures together.”

The two agreed, said goodbye to Gu Qing and left in a hurry.

Looking up at the setting sun, Gu Qing felt depressed. No matter where he was or what kind of world he was in, he could never escape all kinds of troubles. It seemed that God didn't want him to live a peaceful life.

A burst of soft footsteps appeared behind him, Gu Qing turned around, and Zhang Huaiyu was still wearing white clothes, looking at him calmly.

"I heard about the porcelain kiln, do you need my help?"

Gu Qing's eyelids twitched: "You are so lawless, do you want to kill the county magistrate?"
