Chapter 86 Many Talents (Part [-])
Master Cheng?
Gao Yushi always felt that he seemed to have a vague impression of this name, as if it had something to do with abacus, but he needed to remember it in more detail, but he couldn't remember it clearly.

In fact, after he crossed over, he found that he had a very deep memory of many things in his previous life. It's just that I saw it once by chance, so I don't remember it so clearly.

Mathematics... Abacus...

That's right, my cousin worshiped under Mr. Cheng, I'm afraid he didn't want to learn some sage scriptures, but mathematics!

This is interesting. Does our Gao family still have a chance to produce a mathematician?But this cousin seems to have never heard of how famous he was in the history?Could it be because of the Gao family's identity here that he was finally forced to fail to show his strengths?
Oh, I remembered, this cousin never had a child, but in the end he adopted a son from "me" as his heir... Could there be some kind of connection between the two?For example, the pressure from the family made him have to give up his beloved mathematics, and then he lost his ideal and was depressed, and finally died of depression?

Thinking of this, Gao Wushi finally made up his mind, regardless of whether his guess was right or wrong, since this cousin likes mathematics, it must not be a big problem to ask him to help manage his property.

Counting it, it seems that the second uncle is about to resign, either this year or next year, my cousin has made such a good show in Nanjing, I am afraid that the second uncle will also be very embarrassed.That being the case, if I send a letter to invite my cousin to come to Beijing at this time, my second uncle should most likely agree.

However, I can't completely disregard my cousin's wishes. Even if I don't say how eager he is to come, I must let him come so that he is not too unwilling.However, since he likes mathematics, it will be easy to handle.

Thinking of this, Gao Wushi smiled: "Okay, Gao Mo, I think your suggestion is very good. Since brother Sanhuai is good at numeracy, he will definitely be of help to me in the future. Brother Bo and Sanhuai... tell me, is there anyone else you can recommend?"

Gao Mo hesitated for a moment, and said: "The villain was just one of the elder's personal guards at the beginning, and the people he knew were probably the people around him. These people are inside."

Gao Wushi understood his worries, and said with a smile, "It's okay, just recommend it."

"Since the young master said so, then the villain will recommend three more people." Gao Mo put away his cautious look, and said, "One is the number one expert among the old master's personal guards, named Gao Yu. Gao Mo This person has always been valued by the Eldest Master, and he even taught him how to use soldiers, if this person can come to the capital to serve the Eldest Young Master, I am willing to let him."

"Gao Xian?" Gao Wushi was noncommittal about "Rang Xian", but asked, "Which one comes first?"

Gao Mo said: "It's Wang Pangxian, a kind of jade and beautiful stone."

"Oh." Gao Wushi smiled: "It's a good name."

Gao Mo said: "This name is given to him by the elder."

"Since my uncle gave him such a good name, he must have placed high hopes on him." Gao Wushi asked with a smile, "Where is this person now?"

Gao Mo said: "I'm guarding the tomb of the Eldest Master. However, before the Elder Master passed away, he was ordered to manage the guards and guard the Gao family's ancestral hall."

That means there is an errand right now... But fortunately, Xinzheng is the hometown of the Gao family, and there are plenty of people who can do these things.

But Gao Wushi thought of another question, so he frowned slightly and asked again: "Which room is this person in right now?"

"Still in the eldest room." After Gao Mo finished speaking, he immediately added: "However, Young Master Wu Zi has always disliked Gao Yu, thinking that he is too serious, so if the young master can personally write a letter to Young Master Wu Zi, say I hope that Gao Yu will be transferred to the sixth room, and I think Master Zi will not stay in trouble."

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "It seems that I have a lot of letters to write today, well, I also want this person, you go on."

Gao Mo said: "The villain recommends another person named Gao Yi and Li Yuyi. This person was originally from a refugee military family. Because of his family's outstanding skills in making firearms, he was taken under the command of the Elder Master. You are good at making all kinds of firearms. Thunderbolt Fireball."

"Thunderbolt fireball?" Gao Wushi was taken aback, "What is that?"

Gao Mo explained: "The so-called thunderbolt fireball is a cast iron spherical shell, with gunpowder and various ignition devices hidden in it, so that it will explode when it is pressed, pulled, or ignited. It is very powerful. It is a fetish for guarding an important place. If the young master wins Gao Yi, our Sanshen Garden will be as safe as Mount Tai in the future, like thieves in the Baili Gorge. .”

Oh, I see, isn't this just a landmine?There are records in various documents of the Ming Dynasty, saying that the landmine technology of the Ming Dynasty was quite advanced at that time, so it seems to be true.

Firearms talents are in high demand, especially for high pragmatism.

"Okay, I want this person... who do I want to write to this time?" Gao Wushi asked with a smile.

"Gao Yi is currently in the fifth room." Gao Mo explained: "The fifth master used to work for the former military governor's mansion, and he was also in charge of firearms, so after he left office due to illness, he asked the elder master to take Gao Yi away. Wufang, usually discusses with Gao Yi about the manufacture and improvement of firearms."

What?My fifth uncle also understands firearms?

But it doesn't make any sense, Uncle Wu is not in good health, and Uncle Wu has not been in office for half a year, Uncle Wu also returned to his hometown due to illness, Uncle Wu was already sick before I came to Beijing.His big head, which is close to 1.8 meters in later generations, still doesn't know if it will weigh more than a hundred catties, and it is completely skinny... and Uncle Wu has only one son, named Gao Wuben, who is stronger than himself He's four years older, and he's still studying honestly. It's probably useless to keep Gao Yi. It shouldn't be a big problem for me to ask him to come.

"Okay, let's count him in... Who is the other person?" Gao Wushi asked.

Gao Mo coughed lightly, a blush appeared on his usually calm face, and he said, "There is one more person...the other person is... the dog Gao Tong."

Gao Wushi was startled for a moment, then laughed, and joked, "Are you imitating Qi Huangyang's internal actions?"

Gao Mo's face turned red a little, but Gao Wushi didn't care about himself, and asked with a smile: "Well, I guess you must think in your heart that if your son comes to work for me, at least his loyalty is guaranteed, right? wrong?"

Gao Mo nodded vigorously: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."

Gao Wushi asked: "Then does he have any other talents?"

Gao Mo scratched his head and said, "Young son... has very good eyesight, so his archery skills are not bad."

Archery?Gao Wushi shook his head inwardly, this thing will soon be out of date...

So he asked, "Can you operate a firearm?"

Gao Mo nodded: "Yes, yes. He was very interested in muskets at the beginning, but the villain feels that ordinary firearms are not well made nowadays, and there is often the worry of 'hurting yourself before hurting others', so the villain is not allowed to do so. He often practiced and often used it, and because of this, he had a few awkward fights with the villain."

　Huh... It seems that things like tickets really require a lot of asking to get them!
