The word "friend" is not easy for Gu Qing.

He has been a human being for two lives, has a rough life experience. He has experienced too many dark sides of the world since childhood, and his heart has become as cold as iron. Therefore, Gu Qing is too cautious about others. It is difficult for ordinary people to make friends with him. There are not many people who hold their arms around him. There are also many people who call brothers and brothers when they are drunk, but that is not called friends. It is called acting skills, and it is just a means of making a living for adults in society.

Before the two businessmen were arrested and put into prison, Gu Qing only thought they were partners of interest, and their dealings with them were entirely due to interests. Gu Qing sometimes even thought unfairly about how he would deal with them if the two businessmen caused big trouble one day. After thinking about it, Gu Qing had to admit shamefully that he had a great chance of turning around and running away, quickly clearing his relationship with the two, and pretending that he didn't know them.

I didn't think they were friends, and it seems understandable to have such an idea.

Gu Qing is not a saint, nor is he the Virgin of White Lotus. The depths of human nature are often selfish, and he is just exposed properly.

Until the two businessmen were arrested and tortured for a whole night, they were not offered him. Gu Qing was shocked and suddenly realized that they regarded themselves as friends. For the sake of the word "friend", they were even willing to abandon the nature of businessmen, not only not seeking fame and fortune, but also wanting their lives.

The world kissed him with pain, and at the same time generously gave him some compassion.

Gu Qing is willing to repay those sunny places.

"Since we will be true friends in the future, then..." Gu Qing paused for a moment, and slowly said word by word, "...we need to add more money."

The two were stunned:???

"Haha, joke, joke, you see, the treatment of real friends is very different. How could I have played such a funny joke with you in the past? Haha."

The two suddenly realized that it was a joke. The young man smiled so brightly. Could it be that this joke is really funny?

So, the two of them, who were not hit at all, echoed and laughed dryly.

Gu Qing raised his face: "Please smile sincerely, otherwise this is not a joke. I really added money."

The two of them were indeed much more sincere when they smiled again, and they looked sad to compromise for their lives in order to save costs.

"When you talk about serious matters, you were only treated as partners in interests, and you couldn't say something to you. Now we are friends who share life and death. I have an idea to inform you, and you remember to cooperate in the future."

The two were excited: "Young man please speak out loud, let's listen carefully."

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "I will redistribute the members of the porcelain kiln in Shiqiao Village. I will take 50% of the remaining 50% of the old stones and 30% of the old Hao, and 20% of the old Hao. This is considered to repay your affectionate and righteous responsibilities."

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of joy, and they hurriedly thanked them.

Be loyal is loyalty, and businessmen are still businessmen after all.

"Also, you can open the shops in Chang'an City as soon as possible, don't take too much steps, make a plan, open a few this year, and open a few more next year. Chang'an City is big and the market is also big. Don't rush it, digest it slowly one by one, focus on being safe, and don't rush to conquer the city and plunder the land."

The two nodded. They were businessmen, so they naturally understood that being too hasty often increases the probability of failure.

"Finally, have you heard of the 'team'?" Gu Qing stared at them.

The two were stunned and shook their heads in confusion.

Gu Qing organized the language and said slowly: "'Team' is a partnership method, but it is more in-depth than partnership. For example, the three of us are a team, so our relationship is no longer a shopkeeper or partner, but a colleague. The biggest difference is that the colleagues in the team have a more tacit understanding with each other. Everyone has their own specific position in the team. A good team does not even need a leader to perform their own duties and do everything well..."

What expression does a dog look at the stars? If the dog can’t understand the stars, he naturally looks confused. The two shopkeepers have this expression at this moment.

They couldn't understand Gu Qing's words at all. They looked stupid, cute and serious, like two new kids who had just broken up their house.

Gu Qing had to patiently continue to explain in depth: "For example, the two shopkeepers were arrested in prison this time, how should other team members rescue you? Without a leader, everyone else in the team should perform their duties. If there are officials, they should do their best to build relationships and trust favors. If there are businessmen in the team, they should try their best to spend money to eliminate disasters. If there are martial arts masters, then he should consider the possibility of robbing prison by force..."

"Anyway, everyone in the team does different things, but they have a common purpose, which is to rescue you. If the team members perform their duties while knowing how to cooperate with each other, then the team can be said to be very successful. Give some other expressions and don't look at me like this stupid look."

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing came to their senses and looked at each other quickly.

After a while of silence, Hao Donglai asked, "Shi, do you understand?"

Shi Daxing smiled uneasyly, pretending to be surprised: "Ah! So that's it!"

Hao Donglai said contemptuously: "Bah! You understand nothing! You are so stupid and don't know a lot of words. Can you understand such profound truths?"

Shi Daxing couldn't hold back his face and said angrily: "Do you understand?"

Hao Donglai sneered: "Don't provoke me, I really understand a little."

Gu Qing said with great interest: "Tell me what you understand."

Hao Donglai thought for a while and said, "What Shaolang said is actually like our own shop. There are several types of people working in a shop, including a client who greets customers, a accountant who specializes in collecting money and a treasurer who is responsible for purchasing and counting goods. All of these people add up to the conditions for a shop to operate normally, and none of them are indispensable. As long as these people perform their own duties, it doesn't matter whether the shopkeeper is in the shop or not..."

After saying that, Hao Donglai looked at Gu Qing carefully and said, "Young Lord, is it roughly right for me to say this?"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "That's about that. The difference is that every member of the team has full autonomy and doesn't understand 'autonomy'? It means that they don't need the leader's orders, they know what to do and can decide what to do on their own. After everyone does their own things, they can cooperate with things to perfectly solve them. This is the meaning of the existence of the team."

Hao Donglai suddenly realized, and could see that his suddenness was like a fake one: "Ah! So that's it!"

Shi Daxing curled his lips and cast a deep contemptuous look.

Hao Donglai smiled and said, "Shaolangjun, I really understand. I don't look like someone named Shi. He is obviously so stupid, but he is so stupid that he is justified... But Shaolangjun suddenly mentioned the 'team', and I don't know why?"

Gu Qing smiled. Of course, he would not mention "team" for no reason, because this is his old career in his previous life, and he also clearly knows how huge a mature team has. As long as it cooperates properly, a small team of less than ten people can leverage a medium-sized company. This is something he has done in his previous life and is very satisfying.

"Now there are fewer people, and only the three of us cannot form a team, but I must tell you the concept of the team in advance. If you are free, you might as well think about what I have today and tell me any experiences you have."

After saying that, Gu Qing told the two to recover from their injuries and then left the house.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing looked at each other with a confused expression.

"What exactly do you want to do when Fatty Hao, the so-called 'team' mentioned by Shaolangjun?" Shi Daxing said inexplicably.

The fat man's nature is mostly free and easy. He smiled and said, "What if he does so much, will the young man harm us? We will do whatever he says. We will leave it to the young man to the tent. We can just follow the instructions... The last time a man named Shi drank in the brothel, you ordered the courtesan lady. Before I could take action, I rushed in. When my injury heals, I will definitely go to patronize the courtesan lady you ordered, and make her willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

Li Linfu's house.

Li Linfu's condition is getting worse and worse, especially after he mistakenly intervened in the gossip last time, he was beaten by Li Longji and his right prime minister was greatly hit. Now the power of the court belonging to the prime minister's faction is somewhat turbulent. In the past, there were fewer officials in front of the Li Mansion to ask for instructions, and there were few cars and horses in front of the prime minister's mansion.

The Wannian County Magistrate was dismissed from office and questioned, Gu Qing, who was robbed of prison, was promoted instead. Li Xiang's loyal thug, the Palace Censor Roh Hyun, was severely reprimanded, and Zhang Ji, the chief of the Left Guard who took the initiative to help Prince Lo vent his anger, was demoted...

One after another, the blows that followed had deeply shaken the court.

The court officials with a keen sense of smell had already noticed that the wind was wrong, and they stopped and looked at it, and never took a stand easily. In the East Palace, because Li Longji suppressed the prime minister, the East Palace seemed to have received some signal. The court forces of the East Palace swept away the decline of many years and had a faint active attitude.

Li Linfu lay on the sickbed, his body getting dryer and thinner, leaving only skin and bones.

For the whole afternoon, Li Linfu opened his eyes and looked at the carved beams. His eyes were still turbid, as if they were covered with a layer of thick fog, making it impossible to see what kind of world it was in the thick fog.

He was the prime minister for 19 years, and he was the longest-reigning prime minister during the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods. Regardless of good and evil, he spent half his life on this official position. He is about to go to bed this year, and the emperor has already acted to suppress him.

The situation was not too serious. Li Linfu was prime minister for many years and grasped Li Longji's thoughts extremely accurately. He knew that the emperor's actions were not for him, but for the prime minister's power he represented.

And this is also an irreconcilable and irresolvable contradiction between the monarch and his subjects.

"What kind of person is this Gu Qing?" Li Linfu murmured to himself.

Recently, the prime minister has been hit twice, once Lu Chengping and once Gossip. These two suppressions are related to the young man named Gu Qing.
