Chapter 349 Mother and Son Discuss Business (Part [-])
After Gao Pragmatically told Mrs. Zhang the cost of the soap, Mrs. Zhang realized the huge profit of Jinghua soap. She was stunned for a while, and then let out a sigh of relief, saying: "People say that the salt merchants make money hard, but they don't know that my son makes more money than the salt merchants." Ruthless. You are not worried about being coveted by the appallingly high income of your soap?"

"I want to teach my mother to know that my son has been prepared for a long time." Gao Wushi then informed the emperor's edict and the cadre shares held by Zhu Xungui one by one.

Mrs. Zhang was relieved after hearing this, and said with relief: "My son is early wisdom, you will be rich and honored in this life, and in the future your siblings will grow up, and you will need a lot of help and support."

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "It's natural, don't worry about it, mother."

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, and then said: "Since my son has such a talent in business, your mother can't take your steelmaking business lightly. But there is one thing that my mother doesn't understand very well: steelmaking Although it is profitable, the steel is so difficult to smelt, not to mention the huge investment. Even if it is smelted into output, it can only be used as an ordnance, which is not easy to sell. Why not first smelt iron? Iron has far more uses than steel. How can it not be unsalable.”

Gao Wushi was a little hesitant, wondering if he should explain clearly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It is true that iron is easy to smelt and sell, but it is also difficult to sell at a high price because it is easy to smelt. Unlike fine steel, few can be smelted. The price is high. My son has been with Sanbo for a long time, and he knows that Sanbo has long been dissatisfied with the weakening of the military power of the country. It is imperative to strengthen the situation, especially the replacement of firearms."

Mrs. Zhang knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and nodded knowingly: "So that's the case... If the imperial court has this heart, steelmaking can be done." She thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Even if there is only the three towns of Xuanda Changing clothes is enough for you to earn a lot of money."

Gao Wushi curled his lips and thought: I am not only planning to sell steel, I am going to make firearms directly.On the contrary, I have no interest in those armors and swords... Well, it’s not that I’m not interested in earning this money, but if the whole dress-up plan is covered by me, I’m afraid the government and the opposition will be too fierce to bear it Strength, so cold weapons and armor had to be given up.

There is no way, people who eat alone will always die an ugly death-everyone accuses them of dying without a disease.

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, and then had another question: "That's not right, you just said that the frontier army is changing clothes, for example, Xuanda three towns change clothes, you make steel near the capital, and you can transport it to the border town nearby, and send it directly It doesn't matter if you go to Bingzhan Bureau or other places, it's not far away, and the profits are quite guaranteed. However, if you make steel in Xinzheng, and send it to Xuanda or the capital, wouldn't it be too far away? This is steel, which is very heavy. Transportation is difficult and costly."

Gao Wushi blinked: "There are quite a few in the Henan Guard, and they always have to change clothes. Even though the number is not as large as that of the frontier army, it is not difficult to feed my steel factory in Xinzheng, and... the Henan Guard It is under the jurisdiction of the Five Army Commanders in Beijing, Cheng Guogong and British Duke will not ignore my business."

Of course, the government-run iron factories are now one scumbag than the other. Buying steel is not buying. Of course, first consider the partners with whom you have a good relationship.Well, it would be even better if there were dry shares, or at least some filial piety.

Mrs. Zhang certainly knew the importance of connections. Since his son was so sure about the Five Armies Commander's Mansion, what else could he say?Ministry of War?what!Who doesn't know that Mr. Zhang Ge and San Bo, who are in charge of the Ministry of War, are comrades-in-arms in the same trench, how could the Ministry of War sing the opposite!
Mrs. Zhang was completely relieved of Gao Pragmatic's business experience, stopped asking any more questions, and turned the topic back to the exam again, saying: "The county lord and the mansion lord will not deliberately make things difficult for you, but the master has never dealt with your mother before. You need to be more careful."

Grand master does not mean teacher, it is a common name and honorific title.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the local management system of the Yuan Dynasty was basically followed, and the provincial level set up the Central Committee to manage local military and political affairs.In the ninth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty began to rectify the local government system, and ordered to change the Zhongshu Province to Chengxuan Zhengshisi, referred to as the Chief Secretary, also known as the Fansi.

At the same time, the Judicial Commissioner Division (referred to as the Criminal Division, also known as the Standard Division) and the Commanding Division (referred to as the Dusi) were established to manage the judiciary and the military respectively.The chief departments of each province, the capital divisions and the inspection divisions are collectively called the three divisions of Dubuyan, and they jointly govern and save trouble.The three divisions do not belong to each other, and each is directly under the imperial court.

According to the Judiciary, there are other full-time Taoism as divisional institutions. Among them is the admiral Xuedao, referred to as Ti Xuedao or Xuedao, who is in charge of schools, student assessment, and imperial examinations in the region.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the respectful title for the admiral learning Taoism and admiral learning politics was "grand master".

For example, in the story "Fraud Xue Dao Shu Bao Meng" in "Du Lie New Book", the cause of the incident was "Fujian Xiangke", which involved a very important person who did not appear on the scene, the so-called Shen Zongshi", this Shen Zongshi is also the admiral Xuedao.

Because theoretically speaking, all the students in a province are selected by learning Taoism, and the status of learning Taoism is of course noble, and it is absolutely necessary to call "Grand Master".

Gao Wushi asked, "Who is the current Henan Grandmaster?"

"Li Daolong." Mrs. Zhang said: "Basically, he is the same age as your uncle, but as far as my mother knows, he is Xu Huating's disciple, I'm afraid..."

"Li Daolong?" Gao Wushi thought for a while, but he didn't remember the name.

Mrs. Zhang explained: "Daolong is his surname, his name is Yuantai, Li Yuantai, he is from Yuyao County, Zhejiang Province-you know, Xu Huating is easy to use Nanbang Scholars, and Yuyao is not too far from Huating, and it is also halfway. A country party."

Gao Wushi frowned subconsciously, and said, "Mr. Huating is a mud bodhisattva who can't protect himself when he crosses the river. This Grandmaster Li shouldn't be joking about this kind of thing, right?"

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, and said: "The examination papers will be made public in the end. As long as your essay can stand scrutiny, Master Li will not dare to act recklessly... Besides, as you said, Xu Huating himself was handed over by Haibi With a disgraced face, his disciples should be less likely to jump out and fight against your third uncle now."

Gao Yushi was confused, thought for a moment, and said: "The Daoist test is the last test, there is still some time, so don't worry, I will go to Kaifeng Mansion when the government test is held, and then I will make a fuss."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and said, "Alright, it just so happened that your uncle came to Henan to preside over the provincial examination three months ago, and he should have communicated with Li Daolong. Why don't you write to your uncle and ask this person? Good to have a calculation."

"Okay, just do it."

　There was something wrong with the document, and it was almost too late to send it out before 12 o'clock...
