Li Zhi stood up and sighed. Gu Qing still has this kind of bad virtue and has never changed. "I won't come back to dinner tonight. There are many things in the Hai Trade Department."

Wu Mei sat on the side and tidied up the teacup. Gu Qing whispered after seeing Li Zhi leave, "Prepare more meals tonight and let the servants at home deliver them to the Hai Trade Department."

Nodding his head, Wu Mei looked at Gu Qing and said, "Actually, His Highness King Jin can understand why he has to make him so amused and cry."

"It's better to leave some room for some things." Gu Qing smelled the fragrance of tea.

Fan Jian walked and said, "The head of the family, His Highness the King of Wei sent a message. Today, the young master skipped class again."

"Have you got into trouble?" Gu Qing asked back.

"No." Fan Jian said.

"That's good." Gu Qing shook the palm-leaf fan.

Fan Jian looked at Gu Qing's expression and said, "Not only did he not cause trouble, the little master also gave His Highness the King of Wei and His Highness the King of Jin."

"Yeah, it's very good." Gu Qing nodded and said, "Add a few more dishes tonight."

Sometimes Gu Qing looks very strict with his eldest son, and sometimes he seems to be even more careless. However, in private, Gu Qing still pays attention to his son's every move. Gu Qing whispered to Fan Jian, "Didn't this kid continue the lottery?"

"No more, it seems to be a good way to make money, but I don't know why the little master suddenly stopped lottery." Fan Jian whispered.

Gu Qing felt much more at ease. The industry of lottery draws still does not want it to be popular in this Tang Dynasty. He thought that if the industry that he opened a lottery draw was not a good thing for the entire Tang Dynasty, he could do nothing. He could just set up a few awards to attract people to spend money. This is easier than opening a factory and a maritime trade, and it can also easily take advantage of people's bad habits.

Is this kind of business that uses people's psychological activities a good thing after all? If you do it yourself and have confidence to empty the family background of many people, what will come with it will be to make others poor. This method is not suitable for this time now.

Gu Xiao was thinking about the next business of making money in the academy. Now he is still losing money and thinking about benefiting from the Maritime Trade Department, but Li Zhi seemed very alert.

"Gu Xiao, why don't you continue the lottery?" Zhang Jiuling asked in confusion.

"Can't draw anymore." Gu Xiao sighed, "I regret it. If I really want to make a fortune by relying on lottery, if my father will let me go, I will be targeted by the court."

"Why?" Zhang Jiuling asked in confusion.

"I suddenly thought of getting something for nothing." Gu Xiao said, "If I set up a huge award, what kind of consequences will it cause? My mother often warned me to be a down-to-earth person. The relationship between my family and the royal family is also complicated. Rather than saying that I don't want to do it, I dare not do it anymore. Using people's bad nature to make money is indeed a huge profit, but I can't bear the consequences that come with it."

Zhang Jiuling looked at Gu Xiao, wondering why Gu Xiao could analyze people's hearts so accurately. Just as Gu Xiao said that this is using people's bad nature. Everyone wants to exchange a penny for wealth. Few people will refuse this kind of enjoyment that can be obtained without effort. Compared with Gu Xiao, you can see the pros and cons of it and you can stop in time.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jiuling bowed to Gu Xiao and said, "I'm here to learn."

"Nothing." Gu Xiao said with a worried look on his face, "It's better to be a bandit instead of a lottery. This is a huge deal."

“…”

"Well, I'm going back to read a book and say goodbye." Zhang Jiuling shook his head repeatedly.

"Brother Zhang! Consider considering it?"

Zhang Jiuling is getting faster and faster.

After returning home, Gu Xiao started to think about his way to make money after dinner. He still couldn't sleep until late at night. He looked at the other bed in the room and was sleeping heavily. Gu Xiao quietly got up and put on a piece of clothing, and came to the study. He looked at the dazzling array of books on the bookshelf and was searching for books on the bookshelf to find some business clues.

Fan Jian came with an oil lamp and saw Gu Xiao rummaging in the study and said, "The little master is not asleep yet."

"No," Gu Xiao said without looking back.

Fan Jian put the oil lamp on the desk and went to the kitchen to make some late-night snacks for Gu Xiao to eat.

Most of the books here are simplified Chinese. Gu Xiao can understand it and you can see the book on economics at a glance. I remembered that Uncle Wang of Jin used it to translate it. It turned out that it was still here. It is said that this is a book that studies how to make money.

Gu Xiao opened the book and read it under the oil lamp. The words on it were written by his mother. He wanted to know these words, but he didn't know them completely. After reading them all the way, he saw the words transport.

"Logistics economy and geographical economy?" Gu Xiao thought it out inadvertently and followed the title and looked down.

Fan Jian brought the freshly prepared noodles to Gu Qing's desk, then left in small steps, without disturbing Gu Xiao, who was reading carefully. He came all the way to the laboratory on the second floor, and Gu Qing did not sleep.

"The head of the family." Fan Jian whispered, "The head of the little master is not asleep yet."

"What did he do?" Gu Qing was experimenting with the rubber sample sent back by the Japanese sea ship this time.

"The little master is reading a book." Fan Jian replied in a low voice.

Gu Qing nodded without asking much questions. He burned the rubber with the flame on the oil lamp, placed it at the end of his nose and smelled it carefully. It was somewhat similar to the smell of later generations. After testing the elasticity and toughness several times, it was a little too soft, but it should be enough. Thinking that the sea boats opened up the West in the future, they might be able to transplant the oak trees, but now the oak trees are still too far from the Central Plains.

After packing up, Gu Qing also withdrew his mind and said to Fan Jian who was standing aside, "It's getting late, you can go back and rest."

"Yes." Fan Jian knew that Gu Qing didn't like others to disturb him when he was in the laboratory. The laboratory was almost forbidden for the Gu family. Fan Jian could also walk around the laboratory at most two steps when Gu Qing was there. On weekdays, only the wife and Gu Qing could enter here.

Fan Jian closed the laboratory door well. In the hearts of many servants of the Gu family, Gu Qing could hit the property of such a hit with bare hands, must have something to do with this laboratory. The Gu family will protect the laboratory, and this is the foundation for the Gu family to make a fortune.

Gu Qing put away the rubber and opened the secret room, carried the oil lamp and walked down. The stairs of the secret room were built in the wall. Walking down the narrow stairs, you can come to the underground floor of the Gu family. Gu Qing lit the candles here, and the entire secret room began to become bright. Looking at everything here, he came to a file money hanging on the wall, and put a hook behind the names of Yang Guozhong and Zhang Jiuling.
