Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 930 Two Unlucky Eggs

When Wang Zhizhen and Gao Wuben, who were dressed in Jinyiwei Qianhu costumes, stood in front of Gao Wushi and accepted his separate summons, Gao Wushi could tell at a glance that the two brothers were not doing well.

Wang Zhizhen is still neatly dressed, but Gao Wuben's turquoise brocade suit (not the flying fish suit at all times like in the film and television drama) is a little wrinkled at first glance, and even Gao Wushi seems to smell it on him. There was an unspeakable smell, which made him subconsciously frown slightly.

"Fourth brother, my little brother invited you here from the hut in the middle of the night?" After all, he was his cousin, so Gao Wushi joked with a smile.

"To be honest, don't laugh at brother Yu, brother Yu has this smell on his body now, and it can't be washed off." Gao Wuben sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Your work is busy, I'm afraid you don't know about brother Yu's errand in Jinyiwei. "

Gao Wushi is really not very clear, let alone the matter of Gao Wuben, even Gao Wuguan, who is his own younger brother who is now adopted by Gao Gong and who came to Beijing to serve as an official in Shangbaosi, rarely has the opportunity to meet him .

He did invite the Gao family brothers and nephew (the son of Gao Wuzi) in Beijing to live in his mansion in Beijing, but none of them were willing—because the Gao family had already separated in Gao Gong's generation, so They are not brothers in the same house, even if Gao Wuguan is adopted by Gao Gong, they are children of the third house, so now Gao Wuguan lives in Gao Gong's former house, and Gao Wuben is alone in Beijing households live by themselves.

But what is strange about Gao Wushi is that now the Gao family has money from him as a family subsidy. Gao Wuben can get at least a hundred taels a month. In addition, his family is very capable of giving birth, and there are already four children in the family. , Each child can still receive 30 taels-this is definitely not enough, so his family will not be short of money no matter how they look at it.

Then what kind of errand did he do so that the smell on his body could not be washed off?
"My little brother was negligent... What is the role of the fourth brother in Jinyiwei?"

Gao Wuben sighed, "The Elephant Training Institute."

Uh... Gao Wushi coughed dryly, and thought to himself: If you are a little smarter, you won't be in such an errand, the dignified official Gao Wenzheng was sent to raise elephants?
Gao Wushi seemed a little embarrassed, but at this time Gao Wuben added another sentence: "By the way, since the last time you asked for the truth, since you 'decided Annan', the Annan Metropolitan Commander has sent more than 20 elephants. These days, brother Yu is busy with this... You have found a big job for brother Yu."

Gao Pragmatism can't laugh or cry.

Jin Yiwei's raising elephants is really no joke. In the Ming Dynasty, elephants were indispensable animals in various ceremonies, and they often appeared in some large-scale events of the court "to look spectacularly".But elephants have such a large appetite and a huge body size, it has become a troublesome thing to raise them.

In later generations, party members would go first if there were dangers; in Daming, brocade clothes would go first if there were dirty work.So Jin Yiwei resolutely undertook the task of raising elephants, and set up an "Elephant Taming Institute" agency, which is responsible for raising elephants in the capital, and the scale is not small.

For example, during the Great Sacrifice, up to 31 elephants are used.According to Gao Yushi's understanding, Jin Yiwei usually raises at least 20 or [-] elephants. If you count the more than [-] elephants donated by Annan this time, it is estimated that there are hundreds of them.

What good smell can a breeder in this era have?Gao Wuben didn't seem to be joking.

Gao Wushi sighed, and said, "Liu Shouyou arranged this errand for you?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Wuben was a little worried that Gao Wushi would find trouble with Liu Shouyou, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu is also afraid that I am from the Xinzheng Gao family, but I can't do things honestly and ruin my family's reputation, so..."

"That's why I asked you to raise elephants?" Gao Wushi snorted, and said, "I'll go and tell the governor of Huangchang about this later, Jinyiwei has no commander (dudu) now, and the transfer of a thousand households must be done by Huangchang. The governor can still count.”

Of course it counts. Dongchang has long since transformed from supervising Jinyiwei to leading Jinyiwei. The dignified supervisor of Dongchang opened his mouth. Let alone a thousand households, even a commander can change. I am afraid that all commanders need it The emperor asks.

Gao Wuben actually felt that something was wrong, but Gao Wushi is actually the person who is talking about the Gao family. Since he said so, Gao Wuben didn't dare to refute, he opened his mouth and then closed it, and swallowed the words back.

Gao Wushi didn't say clearly what kind of errand he was going to change for him, but turned his head to look at Wang Zhizhen.

Wang Zhizhen is much smarter than Gao Wuben. When he saw Gao Wushi solve the job problem for Gao Wuben with a single sentence while talking and laughing, his heart was full of enthusiasm, and he quickly bowed and said: "Don't ask the real brother to ask, the foolish brother is on duty at noon." Door."

Oh, it turned out to be General Han.Simply put, a trusted... look.

However, the treatment of the big Han general is good, and he is at the level of a thousand households, so he should not be the ordinary guard.

So Gao Wushi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is brother satisfied with this job?"

Wang Zhizhen quickly began to complain, saying: "Scared! What are you satisfied with? You stand like a fool all day long. Although brother Yu is a thousand households at any rate, he can walk around while patrolling, but this is day after day, year after year. , Either the wind and the sun or the snow and the rain, what is it to be an official, jail is almost the same, even if you are in charge of the court staff occasionally, but now the court staff is rarely beaten, it is meaningless."

Gao Wu said sincerely: "This guy's failure in studying is probably due to lack of determination. Wang Qian didn't know how to teach his son back then. Could it be that the first child is inexperienced?"However, in Jinyiwei, people like him may be more popular, he is better than my honest fourth brother.

"So, what kind of job does brother prefer?" Gao Wushi asked with a smile.

Wang Zhizhen was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yu is not picky about food, either of the two town governors in the north and south will do."

It turns out that although Jinyiwei is famous for being the governor of the two major towns in the north and the south, Jinyiwei is in charge of a wide range of people. In addition to Gao Wuben who raised elephants just now, there are even jobs such as "repairing streets and dredging ditches" in the capital. A trash can, and you have to carry around when you come to any errands. A big Han general like Wang Zhizhen is already quite respectable.

It's just... boring.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Zhizhen opened his mouth, he wanted to be dispatched by the two town governors, because the two town governors had more real power at hand.Among them, Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of investigating criminals and often cooperates with Dongchang in "fighting incidents", while Beizhen Fusi passes on cases appointed by the emperor and has his own prison—that is, the world-famous imperial prison, where he can arrest, torture, Executions do not have to go through the general judiciary.

For Wang Zhizhen, the former is usually majestic, while the latter is that once a major case occurs, even the senior ministers of the cabinet will give them face, which is also majestic and cool.

Gao Wushi heard what he meant, and immediately understood what he meant, nodded, and said, "Okay, brother, I understand... You two, go down and rest for a while, and I will talk to Huang Factory Superintendent first."

"Yes, you are busy, you are busy."

"Thank you for the truth."

I read the comments on the two chapters yesterday, and after thinking about it, it seems that whenever the rationality of the plot in the book is questioned, I will present a lot of historical materials, and then add analysis to prove that my plot arrangement is reasonable.It seems that he is still not calm enough, and he has to learn from Gao Shi Middle School.But having said that, it is not all nonsense to say a few more words about Yin Guan's question, it will be useful later, and it can be regarded as avoiding other doubts in advance.It's like I wrote a lot of business at the beginning of the whole book, and I was scolded in a mess at the time. Looking back now, I should have written it.
