PFC Chapter 346 Nothing to do tonight, brothel... Ugh!
Chapter 346 Nothing to do tonight, brothel... Ugh!
After an unknown amount of time, **'s expression became firm. Looking at Gu Jingzhi, who was drinking tea calmly, he asked, "Lord Gu, what do you need Chen for?"
If it is to find a way out for the scholars of the world, he will naturally have no choice but to do so.
After all, he climbed up step by step from an ordinary farming family. If he had not been proficient in farming, which most scholars disdained to do, he would never have reached the high position he is in today.
However, such opportunities are only a minority after all. If we want to provide a way out for poor children around the world, the key is to vigorously promote the dissemination of knowledge!
Gu Jingzhi put down his teacup and said solemnly, "Brother Chen, if you listen to what I'm about to say, it will be like knowing His Majesty's overall plan. You'll have no way out. Have you... decided?"
** waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Lord Gu. Although I don't have the courage and spirit of the ancient sages, if I can do something for the poor scholars in the world, I will do it with all my heart... I am happy to do it!"
"it is good!"
Gu Jingzhi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Chen is very courageous. In this case, I will not hide it. His Majesty is interested..."
He told Emperor Xia and him the whole plan against the aristocratic families. Of course, it was just about the three-part attack on the aristocratic families.
But even so, ** was still quite frightened.
At the same time, he also knew why Gu Jingzhi was so highly valued by Emperor Xia right after he entered the court. It turned out that he had already diagnosed the ills of the current situation when he first entered the court, and then disintegrated the aristocratic families step by step by taking appropriate measures!
At present, the land occupied by the aristocratic families has been disintegrated!
Regarding the next empty seal case, ** originally thought it was just an investigation into corruption, and by the way, to resolve the power of the aristocratic family in the officialdom. Unexpectedly, the real purpose was to cut off the aristocratic family's money, and by the way, pave the way for the third step!
And the third step is to bring the knowledge passed down by the sages... into the homes of ordinary people!
This game of chess is really a big one!
However, this also made his calm blood boil, and finally he said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Lord Gu, I know what to do about this matter. Please tell His Majesty that I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
"it is good!"
Gu Jing slammed his fist on the table and said solemnly, "Your Majesty is right in judging Brother Chen. Brother Chen's generosity today... In the future, all scholars in the world will surely be grateful to Brother Chen for his great virtue!"
Upon hearing this, she immediately waved her hands, a blush appearing on her face. She said shyly, "This is all the work of your Majesty and Marquis Gu. I..."
"Brother Chen, you are too modest!"
Gu Jingzhi said sincerely, "The harm caused by aristocratic families has been going on for a long time. If we talk about their strength, even His Majesty is afraid of them. Anyone who has the courage to stand up to them is worthy of respect and admiration!"
"I won't say anything empty today. I just hope Brother Chen can keep this in mind. Also, before His Majesty officially promotes the book, all of this must be done in secrecy. No one must notice anything unusual!"
"In addition, the Gu and Lin families of Ningzhou will also cooperate with Brother Chen. Ningzhou has already prepared a large number of books. However, the power of the people cannot compare to that of the imperial court, so the highlight still lies with Brother Chen!"
** nodded and said: "Don't worry, Lord Gu, those who followed me to Ningzhou before have now been transferred to the Ministry of Industry. There will be no problem in keeping this matter confidential!"
According to Gu Jingzhi's plan, his Ministry of Industry only needed to make more movable type carvings, and the rest could be left to the Ningzhou Gu family and the Lin family.
This movable type carving is actually not very difficult, but the Gu family and the Lin family have limited manpower in this area after all. Most of the best craftsmen in the world are concentrated in the Ministry of Works, so it is much easier for them to complete this task than for the Gu and Lin families.
As for letting the Ministry of Industry be responsible for printing the stereotypes, while the Gu and Lin families are responsible for printing, it is actually very simple. This will not only make it more covert.
Unless there is a problem in the Gu family's workshop, it is highly unlikely that the aristocratic family would know Gu Jingzhi's plan.
But, will there be any problems with the Gu family’s workshop?
The probability is extremely slim.
Before returning to Beijing... Gu Jingzhi had made plans long ago. The Gu family's assets were not limited to Ningzhou. Unless Gu Jingzhi himself committed suicide, it would be impossible for the aristocratic families to notice.
This is a limitation of the perspective of the times, and it is not a problem that can be solved by a keen sense of smell.
After discussing with **, Gu Jingzhi returned to his own residence.
The huge mansion was empty. Ever since Lin Feng moved out, Gu Jingzhi had no one to talk to. He spent most of his time in the study or the Ministry of Revenue.
Think about other people traveling through time and yourself traveling through time... I feel like life is completely polarized.
Others who traveled through time all had beautiful wives and concubines and lived a very comfortable life. What about me?
He is busy with this or that all day long, as if there is endless work to do. He has a beautiful wife and concubines, but his life is not as happy as those of his predecessors!
Sometimes Gu Jingzhi also wondered, if he traveled through time and space and was no longer in the original Gu family, would he still take this path?
I was a loner in my previous life, and I don't seem to have many friends in this life. In just three years, I have reached a high position, and it is even more difficult to make friends.
It seems that up to now, apart from Lin Feng and Liu Sandao, the only person he can talk to is Chen Yu, but they are still in Ningzhou now.
I guess it will take several months for them to come back!
There were enough things to deal with today, and Gu Jingzhi no longer had the mood to go to the study to read. He ordered the servants to prepare hot water to wash off the smell of alcohol.
However, just as he got into the bathtub, Wan Zhen appeared in front of him as if she had smelled something.
Seeing this woman who looked like his lover and sounded like his wife, Gu Jingzhi pursed his lips and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I live in the wing room in the courtyard. When I saw the servants preparing hot water, I knew that the Marquis must be tired, so I came over to serve you..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Jingzhi in the bathtub, and the meaning was self-evident.
Gu Jingzhi's mouth twitched: "I never need anyone to wait on me when I take a bath!"
He was not wrong in what he said. He was really not used to being served when taking a bath. Of course, before Chen Yu became pregnant, he and his wife had always been playing in the water together!
He said this just to get rid of this woman. After all, he was still a little uncomfortable!
Who would have thought that Wan Zhen would be puzzled and asked, "Is the Marquis like this on a normal day? Why is it different from what the noble lady said? The noble lady said that the Marquis likes to have someone accompany him to bathe!"
"..."
Got it!
It’s that woman Qiao Shuwan again.
Last night, I played in the water with her by myself, and I guess I liked it. But I didn’t expect to tell the woman in front of me what happened last night today.
"Then give me a shoulder massage!"
Gu Jingzhi didn't think much about it. Qiao Shuwan had some slightly perverted hobbies, and he was too lazy to resist!
But when Wan Zhen heard this... her eyes flashed!
