Zhao Hao and Gao Wu stood at the entrance of the alley, watching Tang Youde get on the carriage and leave.
Zhao Hao¡¯s sudden suggestion of growing raw silk was not a temporary idea. It was actually the second step in his plan to make a fortune in order to improve his family situation.
Because something will happen this year that will change the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty - the Longqing Switch. Although Zhao Hao is a commoner and cannot influence the overall situation, he can still count on drinking soup with the big guys and making a lot of money.
He originally planned to do a few sugar business operations, save up enough capital, and collect silk secretly by himself. But last night's theft made him understand that with his current strength, he could no longer do the sugar business for the time being. More importantly, what happened last night reminded him that he is now a child, has no one and no family, and cannot do much by himself.
Even if you overcome many difficulties and barely receive the silk, how will you transport it back, where will you store it, and how will you do it without leaving any trace? This is something I can't do at the moment.
"Alas, he's still too weak" Zhao Hao sighed helplessly, he really took advantage of Fatty Tang.
Gao Wu stayed with him silently until Zhao Hao came to his senses and walked to the blacksmith shop. He followed silently and didn't ask why he wanted to go to his home?
??~~
The two entered the blacksmith shop, but saw that Blacksmith Gao was not in front.
Following the sound, he found the patio in the backyard. Zhao Hao saw blacksmith Gao polishing a rusty hammer with an anvil next to the well.
"Young Master is here?" When Gao Tiejian saw Zhao Hao, he said with a smile: "Has everything been resolved? You don't have to worry about Commander A, he just pretends not to know."
The Baojia system in this era is so perfunctory If the people do not promote and the officials do not correct, how can there be any guarantee for each other, and the money dare not hide it?
"The thief has been handed over to someone else to be sent to court." Zhao Hao sat on the edge of the well and explained to Gao Tiejian with a smile: "The main reason is that if we send him away, I, the victim, will have to go to court to see the official. I am a white man. It¡¯s really unpleasant to have to kowtow to a seventh-grade sesame official.¡±
"Oh haha" Gao Tiejiang didn't expect that he had such a reason, and couldn't help laughing: "The county magistrate is one of the parents, but in the eyes of the young master, he has become a big official." After a pause, he joked again : "Of course, in this city of Nanjing, the county magistrate is indeed nothing."
Youdao says, "If you commit evil in your three lives, the magistrate will attach himself to the country." What's more, there are more than a hundred civil, military, and internal and external yamen in Nanjing city? A mere magistrate of Shangyuan County is really an aggrieved young daughter-in-law.
The two men laughed and chatted for a while. Zhao Haofang pointed to the hammer on the anvil stone and asked, "What are you doing, old man?"
"It's time to resume work. We need to take care of the people who are eating." Blacksmith Gao held the hammer in both hands and waved it with a smile.
"I've only been in the field for a few days, isn't it too urgent?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but frown.
"Alas, it's all in vain." Blacksmith Gao smiled bitterly: "The old man still hopes to bring Gao Wu out as soon as possible."
"Doesn't he like swinging a sledgehammer?" Zhao Hao looked at Gao Wu aside.
"Alas" Gao Tiejiang sighed: "You have such a clumsy mouth and such a fierce appearance. What will you eat if you don't do this?"
Gao Wu lowered his head silently.
As Gao Tiejiang said, he pointed at his son and cursed: "You bastard, why didn't you listen to me in the first place? If you follow the Qi army north, you can become an adult in a hundred households as soon as you arrive in Jizhou! Why do you have to worry about your father now?! "
Gao Wu shook his head and said in a deep voice without delay: "Being a soldier is to fight Japanese pirates, not to get promoted and get rich."
¡°Alas, it¡¯s dad who has dragged you down¡± Blacksmith Gao turned away and wiped the corners of his eyes.
When Zhao Hao saw this, his last trace of hesitation disappeared. Then he took Blacksmith Gao's hand and said to him, "Old man, I have an idea. How about you listen to it?"
"What do you think, Master?" Blacksmith Gao was naturally all ears.
"I also saw what happened last night." Then Zhao Hao said slowly: "My father and son are powerless. If there are bad guys in the house again, I'm afraid we won't have the good luck this time."
"What do you mean, young master?" Gao Tiejiang asked, not sure.
"It just so happens that my old man is getting older, and Brother Gao doesn't want to forge, so why don't we join forces and move to my place. You always help with the housekeeping and cooking, and Brother Gao and I run around here and there to make ends meet. The family's financial situation is like this." Zhao Hao said euphemistically.
"This" Gao Tiejian felt that Zhao Hao's words sounded very useful, but he felt a little inappropriate and said, "What does Mr. Zhao think about this kind of thing?"
"Oh, my father only reads books from saints and sages. I make all the decisions in the family, big and small." Zhao Hao said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Ah"?" Gao Tiejian looked at Gao Wu in disbelief and saw his son nodded.
The tacit understanding between father and son told Gao Tiejian that Gao Wu¡¯s nod had two meanings. One was to prove that what Zhao Hao said was true; the other was that he was willing to accept Zhao Hao¡¯s arrangement.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????"""" Gao Tiejiang was secretly amazed. Although his son was taciturn, he was actually very proud. Before, he had thought that Gao Wu was running around for Zhao Hao just to repay his kindness, but he never expected that this young master would quietly convince the experienced Qi family army front team members. ¡
Although Blacksmith Gao never admitted it, he was always proud of his son. What's more, although Zhao Hao is young, his words and actions are really comfortable. Thinking about his illness again, his business was completely robbed. If you go to look after the Zhao family, you can at least live a few more years.
Thinking of it, he held Zhao Hao's hand tightly and grinned: "As long as the young master doesn't dislike it"
"Hahaha, great, I have been worried that the old man will not be willing." Zhao Hao also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.
??~~
After the matter was settled, Blacksmith Gao didn¡¯t even ask how much he would be paid, so he ordered his son to pack his things and plan to move there that day.
"Don't be in a hurry, old man. My two wing rooms don't even have windows. You stay here first, and it won't be too late to go there after Brother Gao and I clean up." Zhao Hao stopped Blacksmith Gao with a smile.
"Okay, let Gao Wu stay there first. When the young master goes out, the old man will go over and watch the door." Blacksmith Gao smiled and nodded. The father and son are in the same line of conduct, and they are both very admirable, otherwise Zhao Hao would not have bothered to dig up the old and the young together.
Gao Wu still maintained the habit of being a soldier. He rolled up his belongings into his bedding, tucked them under his arm and followed Zhao Hao out of the blacksmith shop.
When he walked into the alley, Zhao Hao suddenly stopped and asked him. "Brother Gao, why do you believe me?"
Gao Wu looked at him in embarrassment, how could he organize his language? I'm afraid I won't be able to answer even if I think about it at dawn.
"I was wrong, this question is too difficult." Zhao Hao suddenly realized, patted Gao Wu's iron-cast copper arm, raised his head and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Gao Wu nodded and responded with a ferocious smile.
