"Three...three thousand taels?"

"Who would be so generous?"

Ouyang Zheng was stunned.

In fact, three thousand taels of silver is nothing.

Especially for Ning Que.

But this was also Gongshu Chou's intention.

This was the first time they met.

We didn't have much of a relationship at the beginning.

It's quite good to be able to come up with three thousand taels.

Gongshu Chou looked at Ning Que.

"I met Gu Yuan before arriving in Linzi City."

"He wants to win me over to serve the King of Qi."

"Then he gave me three thousand taels as travel expenses."

“…”

Ning Que's mouth twitched.

I didn't expect Gongshu Chou to do this.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

After all, Gongshu Chou had once been a disciple of the Divine Machine Pavilion, so he was definitely trying to squeeze out the best from the best. The only person to blame was the King of Qi himself, for actually trying to win over Gongshu Chou...

Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but smile.

"If Gu Yuan knew this, he would probably be furious."

"That's not my fault." Gongshu Chou smiled slyly, "I said I would serve the prince, but I didn't say whether it was the Prince of Qi or the Prince of Ning. I said I would send someone over, but I didn't say whether it was Jiaodong or Linzi."

"Hahaha, senior brother is still awesome."

Ning Que smiled brightly.

Looking at Gongshu Chou, I felt very emotional.

I didn't expect him to come so easily.

"So, Senior Brother is willing to come to Linzi?"

"Hmm." Gongshu Chou smiled. "Putting aside our relationship as fellow disciples, your father once helped me seize power. I'm just a craftsman with a little fame. Now that I can help you, it can be considered as returning the favor."

"good!"

Ning Que stood up excitedly and raised his hand, saying, "Thank you very much for your help, Senior Brother. You can rest assured that as long as you are willing to come, I will never treat you unfairly. Linzi is most in need of craftsmen right now, and your clansmen can serve as master craftsmen in various counties. The port also needs to build warships, and I need your help even more."

Gongshu Chou smiled and nodded, looking at Ning Que.

"I heard you are proficient in a hundred schools of thought."

"The Dafeng Ministry of Industry has been so dazzling in recent years, and it is also due to your handiwork."

"For example, the three cavalry artifacts and the giant stone cannon, these things are also eye-catching to me. Even if I am not there, you must have a way."

"Brother, you think too highly of me." Ning Que couldn't help but smile bitterly and waved his hand quickly, saying, "That old dog Tian Zhongxun is really cruel. He took all the craftsmen away before leaving. No matter how powerful I am, it's useless..."

It takes time to hone a craftsman's skills.

Even screwing has an internship period.

Especially if you want to build a warship, it is even more difficult.

Both Haizai brothers almost quit their jobs.

What the Gongshu family lacks the least is craftsmen!

All walks of life are available!

Carpenter, blacksmith, coppersmith...

We have all of these!

"I'll have to ask you for advice when I get a chance later."

"As long as you don't mind, that's fine."

Ning Que smiled and stood up. "Ouyang County Magistrate, you may withdraw first. Just remember what I said. Brother, you have come from afar, so I must treat you well."

"I will take my leave!"

Ouyang Zheng also raised his hand consciously.

It’s not that Ning Que is stingy and doesn’t want to keep them.

It's purely Ouyang Zheng's personality.

Because the government office and the palace were connected, Ouyang Zheng had come to the palace early in the morning, making it difficult for Ning Que to even sleep in. Don't count on Ouyang Zheng giving him face; after all, even to the Emperor, Ouyang Zheng would speak frankly.

Ouyang Zheng always led by example and was quite diligent. He arrived at the government office early every day to handle government affairs. Due to the lack of officials, he did many things personally.

Previously, a wealthy businessman abducted a common woman.

Then he was captured by Ouyang Zheng.

The other party also spent money to settle the matter.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Zheng didn't give him any face at all.

Put him in jail directly according to the law.

Even the other party’s family was implicated!

This is Ouyang Zheng!

…

"Brother, please come here."

"good."

Ning Que walked in front and led the team.

Finally, we chose a pavilion.

Uncle Fu brought some wine and food.

"Brother, try this yellow wine first." Ning Que raised the wine bottle and sighed, "It's a pity that you came a few days late. If you had come earlier, perhaps you would have met Master."

"Master...I did it on purpose."

"Forehead?"

Gongshu Chou drank it all in one gulp.

The expression on his face was a little ugly.

"I am a disgrace to Master."

"In the beginning, I was seeking revenge, disregarding Master's objections. I even disregarded Master's kindness in nurturing me, saying many hurtful things to him, and finally resolutely descended the mountain. Although I have never regretted it, the one I feel most guilty towards is Master, so I don't have the face to see him."

"Junior brother, you are wrong."

"Um?"

Gongshu Chou frowned.

Then I saw Shen Qinghe walking slowly towards me.

"Actually, Father never blamed you."

"Preventing you from going down the mountain was just a routine."

"Master knew from the beginning that you were seeking revenge for your mother. He also knew that you worked so hard all those years because you wanted to make a name for yourself. He often said to repay evil with kindness. How do you repay kindness? Repay kindness with kindness, and repay evil with justice!"

"Repay kindness with kindness, and repay evil with justice..."

Gongshu Chou's eyes instantly turned red.

He stared at Shen Qinghe blankly.

I also know that she is the daughter of Bu Suanzi.

"Is this what Master meant?"

"Yes." Shen Qinghe sat next to Ning Que and said seriously, "Father has said many times that you are quite a pity. You should have achieved greater success and left your name in history. But your obsession with family infighting has slowed you down."
