Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 85
Gao Mo thought for a while, and then asked another question: "Dare to ask the young master, in the future, will the mine be opened in a small mine or a large mine?"

Now it was Gao Yushi's turn to be curious, and asked, "How about opening a small mine, and what about opening a large mine?"

Gao Mo said: "Although the villain is stupid, I can see that the young master is very human. If he wants to open a mine, there must be a reason. However, if it is just a small mine, there are not a few people in Xinzheng's family who can take care of it. After all, there are quite a few servants in Xinzheng Gao’s Wen Fan Chuan family who are well-read and literate, and you can find a dozen if you just poke around. But since the young master said that he will wait until the two things at hand are almost done. It can be seen that most of the mining is not a small matter. Since it is going to open a large mine, it is expected to invest a lot. It may be a big industry in the future, so it is best to hold it in the hands of the closest people. Right now the young master is still young, and his own There are not many people here, Xiao Zhuang has other things at hand, and he has no skills at all, if you want to get close, you can only find it among the relatives of the young master."

Gao Yushi's heart moved: Looking for it among relatives?It's good, but there is also a problem. I am only the young master of the sixth house, and I don't know if I have enough status in the family to order a relative?
Gao Mo didn't seem to consider this point, he just watched Gao Yushi calmly.

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Wushi nodded in agreement with Gao Mo's suggestion, and said, "Naturally, a large mine is going to be opened, and...the scale is so large, it may be rare in the country."

Gao Mo and Gao Xiaozhuang's eyes lit up immediately, and Gao Mo immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "Since that's the case, the villain recommends Master Guoyan from the second room."

Master Kunihiko of the second bedroom?
Gao Yushi's heart moved, he knew that Gao Mo was talking about Gao Guoyan, the second son of the second uncle Gao Duo.However, although Gao Guoyan is only the second son of the second uncle in name, but because the eldest son of the second uncle Gao Shunan died young, he is actually the eldest son, and because the second uncle only has two sons, he is now equivalent to the only son.

However, Gao Wushi has never seen this cousin who is nine years older than himself. He only knows that because the second uncle was different from the other brothers back then, he passed the martial arts examination. , has been working in Nanjing, so Gao Guoyan studied in Nanjing Guozijian as a supervisor when he was young.As for this person's current situation, what kind of person he is, what talents he has, etc., Gao Yushi doesn't know anything.

Therefore, Gao Wushi hesitated a little, and asked, "Have you met my elder brother Sanhuai?" Sanhuai is Gao Guoyan's cousin.

Gao Mo nodded and said: "Back then the Eldest Master was in Nanjing to admiral Cao Jiang, and he and the Second Elder spent a lot of time in their free time, and Young Master Guoyan often appeared together, so the villain knew a little about Young Master Guoyan. Back then the Eldest Master also had a little understanding of Young Master Guoyan Comments, if the young master needs them, the villain can relay them."

"Then tell me." Gao Wushi still has some confidence in his uncle Gao Jie's ability to recognize people.

Gao Mo said: "At the beginning, the Eldest Master had two comments on Young Master Guoyan. The first time he said, 'This son is not stubborn, but he doesn't care about the scriptures. He only focuses on numerology and doesn't know how to carry on the family business in the future'; the second time Then he said, "cherish it, cherish it. This place is not an ordinary thing in the pool, but if there is no wind and cloud, how can it turn into a dragon? My Gao family is not a merchant's family. His skill of counting is just like the skill of killing a dragon. What a benefit!'"

Daming is actually not like what many Qing blowing and Ming Hei said, what is the control of public opinion, in fact, Daming has a high degree of freedom of speech among the people, and it is not a whip dynasty who can lose his head by saying "Qingfeng is illiterate, why flip books randomly".Although Gao Jie said "turning a dragon" and "slaying a dragon" at the same time, it actually has nothing to do with it - a heretical thinker like Li Zhi can go on for so many years, if he hadn't run into a chief assistant like Shen Yiguan who must take revenge, what would happen? It's not good to die, let alone Gao Jie's words that have no other meaning?
However, what Gao Wuzhen cares about now is obviously not this, but the "numerical skills" that Gao Jie mentioned in his evaluation of Gao Guoyan twice.

But Gao Wushi didn't ask directly, but smiled: "What kind of earth-shattering events did my brother Sanhuai do, which made my uncle worry about "why inherit the family business" at first, and then think that what he learned is a 'Dragon Slaying Technique' is useless?"

Gao Mo did not flinch from the high-practical ridicule, but said in a serious manner: "When the Grand Master first arrived in Nanjing, Young Master Guoyan did a major event that caused a sensation in the entire Nanjing city, and because of this incident, the Grand Master was so angry. Call the second master and young master Guoyan together to the house and curse them out."

"Ah?" Now even Gao Wushi was surprised, and said in amazement: "What did he do? Did he beat the Nanjing guard eunuch or Nanjing guard officer?"

I only asked Nanjing guarding eunuchs and guarding ministers because Gao Guoyan was also from the Gao family, a family of civil servants. Might go for it.

"That's not true, Master Guoyan is a gentleman, how could he do such a thing?" Gao Mo said: "The fact is...Master Guoyan worshiped a businessman as his teacher."

Gao Yushi's eyes widened for a moment: "A businessman as your teacher?"

This is the Ming Dynasty, and the status of a businessman, at least in name, is quite unsightly—don't you see that Zhang Siwei, as the head of the family, doesn't care about his own business affairs, and leaves it to his younger brother to take care of it?Is it because of a bad reputation?But Gao Guoyan dared to worship a businessman as a teacher as a child of the Gao family!
Only those who preach, teach, and solve doubts can be regarded as teachers!

Master of Heaven and Earth!
This cousin of mine... really has courage!

Gao Mo looked at the shocked Gao Yushi, shrugged his shoulders, and made another stab: "Not only that, the merchant originally refused to accept Master Guoyan as his disciple, but Master Guoyan couldn't afford to kneel at the door of his house. Because the scholar was weak, he knelt down and passed out... This businessman was grateful to Master Guoyan for his devotion to learning, so he reluctantly accepted him as his disciple."

At this moment, Gao Wushi had a dull expression on his face.

After a long while, he opened his mouth with difficulty and asked: "What kind of ability does this businessman have to make my elder brother so...so..." He couldn't find a suitable word for a while. To describe what Gao Guoyan has done.

Gao Mo sighed: "I don't even know how capable this businessman is to make Master Guoyan do this. However, Master Guoyan has repeatedly defended his actions in front of the Elder Master, saying that this businessman is skilled in numbers. His ability is really rare in the past dynasties, if you don't worship him, you will regret it for life... When the debate got agitated, Young Master Guoyan even said something like, 'If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening'."

Gao Wushi asked blankly: "What is the businessman's name?"

Gao Mo said, "The businessman's surname is Cheng, and his name is Dawei."
