"If you want to go to sea in the middle of next month, then you have to prepare now. Once the monsoon arrives, you have to go to sea. In order not to delay the time of going to sea, you will have to go to sea for more than ten days from Chang'an to the East China Sea to rush on the road. We will have to make enough of our manpower at the fastest of three days and seven days at the slowest of seven days, and then set off."

Li Zhi was a little surprised, and he heard Guan Yi say this and the urgency immediately came.

"Time is very tight, but it's still time. You can't make any mistakes during this period." Shangguan Yi continued, "There are still 5,000 people short of the staff. If Zhao Rui cannot summon 5,000 civilians, we can't wait any longer. The staff must set out within seven days now."

Li Zhi was puzzled, "Is it okay to be a few days late?"

"No." Shangguan Yi said bluntly, "Since His Highness King Jin wants to help him in the Haimai Department, I understand some things and I want to tell you to His Highness King Jin. Haimai is not a family or an ordinary business."

"I know, I know everything." Li Zhi nodded.

"Let's say that, Haimao wants to take a boat to sea, and everyone is on this boat." Shangguan Yi looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "It took Gu Qing five years to lay out such a large plate. The chain of interests of the entire plate is as complicated as a spider web. Except for mistakes, the entire spider web will have problems."

"From the Dukes and Powerful People in Chang'an, to the merchants from all sides, and Jiangnan, a few years later, the Central Plains where the entire waterway is connected. Does Your Highness know how huge this plate is now?"

"I understand." Li Zhi nodded.

"Two days." Shangguan Yi said to Li Zhi, "If Zhao Rui cannot gather 5,000 people in two days, Gu Qing has a second-hand preparation, and our personnel will be opened immediately."

Li Zhi took a deep breath and walked out of the room to find Xue Ji who was busy.

Xue Ji took a step forward, "His Royal Highness of Jin."

Li Zhi raised his mind and said, "Take someone to tell Zhao Rui that he must find all the people for me in two days."

"Yes." Xue Ji hesitated a little, "Do you need to arrange personnel for him?"

"No one has to arrange his hands for him." After Li Zhi said that, he waved his sleeves and left to do something else.

Gu family

Gu Qing listened to Fan Jian and the Dwarf's report, "Do you think Zhao Rui is really leaving Chang'an with a quick rush?"

"Yes." The short man replied, "I saw with my own eyes that I bought two fast horses early this morning and left Chang'an with his servant. According to me, the boy probably left without saying goodbye."

"Don't worry about him." Gu Qing asked the short man, "How is that mansion looking for it? Are there any clues?"

"It's not easy to check." The dwarf said to the truth, "This guy's ancestral home is simply fake. I suspect his name was made up by himself."

"His name is real." Gu Qing said again, "Have you checked the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?"

"I've already checked it." The dwarf nodded and said, "About the tomb guards of the First Emperor, our people accidentally found a legend. It is said that the lifespan of the tomb guards is very long, and every generation can live to a hundred years old."

"I understand." Gu Qing nodded, Baisui Village? It is not difficult to see people like this. Longevity and living habits have a lot to do with diet. People like longevity often appear in a small place.

Fan Jian also spoke, "Does the head of the family still go to the academy?"

"Go, of course." Gu Qing stood up and walked all the way and ordered the dwarf: "You must find out where the mansion is now. The tomb guardians do not need to investigate too deeply, and do not disturb their lives."

"We know the right way, so I will give the monk the instructions." The short man left after he said that.

Gu Qing came to the academy and walked all the way to the generator project team. Here there were several blacksmiths from factories and several students from the academy. There were many split drawings of design drawings hanging here.

"Prime Minister."

"Prime Minister."

"Mr. Gu Hou."

"Mr. Gu Hou."

...

When Zhang Jie, who was sleepy, woke up and saw Gu Qing, he immediately became energetic.

"You guys keep busy, I'm just here to take a look." Gu Qing said to them and saw that a generator frame had been made, but now it's almost impossible to make the engine used to rotate the rotor.

"Mr. Hou." Zhang Jie explained, "If we want to say that we are not as good as the students here, we will move here to do it just by thinking that it is easier."

"The progress is pretty good." Gu Qing looked up and down, and he didn't expect them to make this thing immediately.

The engine is made of the prototype of an old tractor in later generations. You can start by turning the rotor a few times and stepping on the accelerator. Similar to a diesel engine, this thing has a large span. I have considered the steam engine, but the efficiency conversion of the steam engine is too low. I would rather spend more time and energy to pass this level.

"Do it well. After this thing is completed, we can do more and more things, which will change even more. Maybe those of you who participate in the manufacturing can also be kept in history." Gu Qing said to them, "If you don't have enough manpower, just say whatever you need."

"yes!"

Zhang Jie and the students replied loudly, "I promise to do it first than the Mo family guys."

The engine is a thing that transcends the era. Gu Qing will try again whether this thing can be made? If it is made, it will have earth-shaking changes for the future Tang Dynasty.

Thinking about coming to the academy office, Fang Yizhi and Li Tai were arguing about something.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qing walked in.

Li Tai looked back at Gu Qing, "Why are you here? You're such a rare guest!"

"Come and have nothing to do, come and have a look." Gu Qing sat down and took out a warm tea egg from the pot beside him and peeled the eggshells on his own, "You continue to talk about it."

Li Tai had no intention of arguing with Fang Yizhi and spoke, "I want to increase the scholarships in the academy again, but Brother Fang disagreed."

"The scholarships are now very high. It is inappropriate to increase the scholarship to 5,000 guan, as His Highness said," Fang Yi said directly, "Students study to apply what they have learned, not for the so-called money. This is too biased in their original intention."

"There are fewer and fewer new students nowadays," Li Tai emphasized.

"There are fewer and fewer students because almost all the students from the prefectures around Chang'an have arrived." Fang Yizhi explained.
