As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Zhi quickly spoke, "If you want to ask for advice, I actually hope that Uncle Shangguan will help me. I want to take over all matters in the sea trade. I also know that Uncle Shangguan is now the three ministers in the court pointed out by Gu Qing, and many things in the court must be controlled by Uncle Shangguan."

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "Your Highness King Jin, you are polite. If you want to talk about the sea trade, there are actually many memorials in the court that are also related to sea trade."

"Then Uncle Shangguan can help me?" Li Zhi's eyes were looking forward.

"Of course," Shangguan Yi nodded, "In fact, there are many things that need to be done to manage the maritime trade, but now the time is not right. I believe Gu Qing also told His Highness King Jin about the maritime trade. The time has not come yet."

"Gu Qing did say that, but I have never understood what the opportunity is?"

"Your Highness King Jin is a little restless." Shangguan Yi said patiently: "The time is coming. It is the best time to pass the imperial examination list. Xiaguan has discussed the matter of sea trade with Gu Qing several times. If sea trade continues to develop like this, it will become a barbaric trend. This will grow like wild grass, so we need to have a certain degree of control. Gu Qing and I have actually had an idea long ago. This idea is of three crucial importance."

Li Zhi put away his mind and said, "I would like to ask Uncle Shangguan to explain in detail."

Shangguan Yi continued, "These three points are the army, government office, and shipbuilding."

When Guan Yi said these three points, Li Zhi was still a little bit sensible.

"These three points are the scenes that will come first between Xiaguan and Gu Qing." Shangguan Yi said, "If there is no army to manage it, there will be a very chaotic situation at sea. In Gu Qing's words, pirates will flood. In front of the huge interests of sea trade, and the sea is an incapable area, it is easy to have pirates. Therefore, the army is needed, and there must be conflicts between the management and the distribution of interests of sea trade. At this time, there is a government office to preside over these things. The last point of shipbuilding means that the Tang Dynasty needs better sea ships and can sail farther ships. Do these three things first so that sea trade can be completely stabilized."

"I understand." Li Zhi nodded vigorously, "so he had to wait until the imperial examination was approved and had enough people to deal with these things."

"Of course, so you have to write down the charter of the Hai Trade as soon as possible during this period." Shangguan Yi continued, "Other thing is that His Highness King Jin must find a trustworthy person to help him do all kinds of things. Hai Trade is a piece of fat meat, and there will be people who will be thinking about it. His Highness King Jin wants to take over, and he has to face a very complex trading plate. This plate is no less complex than a court. His Highness King Jin needs a chess piece, which can be used as a discarded piece or as a killer move."

Li Zhi, who left Shangguan Yi's family, was very thoughtful and never thought that he would face more problems than he thought about. The army, government office, and shipbuilding would be overwhelmed by him.

"I have to do so many things from nothing to nothing. Can I do it?" Li Zhi looked at his reflection in the sunset. No wonder Gu Qing has always told him to learn, not to worry, and he still has too many things to learn. He sharpened his knife and chopped wood! Can this knife be used to open up sea trade?

When he returned home, Li Zhi looked at the dishes in front of him and didn't eat them for a long time.

"Don't you have an appetite today?" Gu Qing asked Li Zhi.

"It's okay." Li Zhi shook his head and finished the food in front of him, and after saying that he had eaten his fill, he returned to the study room.

"Brother Gu Qing." Little Shizi asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the emperor brother? Something is wrong these days."

"He is in the rebellious period." Gu Qing put a piece of braised pork into Xiao Yizi's bowl, "Princess Jinyang, don't learn from him."

"Yeah!" Little Vine nodded while eating the food.

After dinner, Gu Qing walked alone in the village. Fireflies in summer were flying in the fields. Yang Sheng was sitting by the field with grass roots in his mouth, and since he came back last time, the ridge of the field has become the place where Yang Sheng stayed for the longest time.

"What are you thinking?" Gu Qing came to Yang Sheng.

"I planted this acre of land, it's good." Yang Sheng said with a smile.

“That’s it.”

"Today, King Jin went to Shangguan Yi's home." Yang Sheng whispered.

"This kid is looking for the right direction, but the problems he has to face will be very difficult and difficult to deal with." Gu Qing looked at An Ning's village. What he could think of alone was enough to make him at a loss, and not to mention that he might encounter unexplainable situations in the future, so it was not that simple."

Yang Sheng crossed his legs and said, "Why don't you get everything done and then hand over the Hai Trade business to him?"

"It's not that simple." Gu Qing sighed long, "He wants to do something to prove himself. I don't want to stop him. It's better to have more experience. I also want to wait until the time is right, but he can't wait, so he doesn't want to wait."

The two fell silent again.

"How is Tang Jian's affairs?" Gu Qing asked, "Where has there been no news about Tang Jian during this period."

"It's strange to say." Yang Sheng hesitated, "If you want to say that there is someone behind Tang Jian, we have never discovered who the person behind him is. The guy seemed to be hiding. Tang Jian himself refused to say that as long as Tang Jian didn't speak, the person behind him would not surface. I think it's time to do something."

"I'm really honest." Gu Qing patted a mosquito flying in front of him, and then flicked it casually, "Let me tell Di Renjie that we will release the bait and fish, and see if the people behind Tang Jian will come out."

“How to do it?”

"Di Renjie knows how to do it." Gu Qing nodded.

A few drops of rain fell, and Yang Sheng stood up irritably, "Why is it raining again in this ghost weather? I'm going home."

Yang Sheng quickly left, Gu Qing felt the drizzle all over the sky. The rain was not very heavy. In the hot summer, the rain was very refreshing. There was a little gauze-like sound in the quiet night. After walking around the village, everyone else had already fallen asleep. Only the candlelight in the study was still lit.

Gu Qing walked into the academy and saw what Li Zhi was writing.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qing asked while sitting in front of him.

"I'm so annoying." Li Zhi grabbed his scalp and kneaded the things he had just written down into a ball and threw them away. "I don't know where to start. Every time I think about taking it step by step, but when I think about what was ahead, I have to take into account what was behind, and I feel that what was ahead was wrong."
