After Gao Fu was transferred, Gao Guoyan could no longer be stationed in Sanshenyuan, so it was best to transfer back to Beijing and manage all kinds of financial affairs in the three major factories of Kaiping and Qianxi, Sanshenyuan, Bailixia and other parts of Beijing.

In this way, Sanshenyuan can only promote Shen Li'an, the former manager of Shensi Academy, to be in charge of the soap factory. Although the Jingxi Coal Mine is much smaller than the Kaiping Coal Mine, it is responsible for providing the honeycomb coal needed by the Beijing Division, and it is also a profitable industry, which can be handed over to Peng Shaocong, the former manager of the Shenxing Academy.

Peng Shaocong used to be mainly in charge of the militia of Sanshenyuan, but now Gao Pragmatic has gathered the "military power", Gao Mo and Gao Ming are the chief and deputy heads of the Jiading Guard Regiment, and Peng Shaocong can be completely liberated.

Gao Yi and Gao Jiong are now in charge of weapons research, but after the military industry and private affairs are completed, they must not only engage in research, but must grasp production, so they must also consider moving to Kaiping and relying on Jinghua Iron and Steel to build up the weapons factory.

Gao Yi can still continue to be in charge of R&D, but Gao Jiong must change his career to production, otherwise no one will be responsible for production.

If you enter other industries or open up business elsewhere, you will fall into the dilemma of no one available, which will be embarrassing.

However, the Gao family couldn't find a suitable talent to supplement for a while - if it was ten years later, it would be easier to do, because there were several of his pragmatic younger brothers alone. Historically, the level of reading of these boys is average, all of them are students, the difference is only that some are tribute students, some are food students, and some are ordinary students.

The problem is that now, there is no catch.

His uncles, Gao Jie, Gao Di, and Gao Cai all have only one son, and the third uncle, Gao Gong, simply has no children left.

Count with your fingers: Uncle Gaojie's parent-child Gao Wuzi is a gentleman, and the mud can't support the wall, so I won't talk about this; Gao Guoyan, the only son of the second uncle, has already worked under his command, which is equivalent to the financial director of all industries in Jingshi; Gao Wuben, the only son of the five uncles and high talents, is about to enter the Jingyin Official, and it is impossible for him to come and mix with him. After these three, he is ranked as high and pragmatic......

No, there is also a missing person, the uncle's adopted son Gao Mengnan!

Judging from Gao Mengnan's performance when he clashed with Gao Wuzi that day, he was actually dissatisfied with Gao Wuzi, but because of his identity, he had to defend Gao Wuzi. But overall, his attitude towards himself is not bad, and during the time he came back, he learned from his mother and younger siblings that this person was still relatively stable.

In addition, when the uncle was not yet a scholar, Gao Mengnan obtained the status of a prisoner in Nanjing. Of course, because the Guozijian in the north and south of Beijing have different degrees of corruption, everyone knows that there is moisture in the level of the prisoners, but Gao Pragmatic feels that no matter how much water there is, it stands to reason that the cultural literacy should be passable.

After all, he is just looking for someone to manage his own industry now, and he doesn't want them to take the Jinshi exam, and whether the Bagu essay is well written or not has nothing to do with whether he can manage the industry at all.

Then, Gao Mengnan can still consider using it - of course, the premise is that people themselves are willing to come.

Gao Pragmatic was a little mildly myopic in his previous life, and he paid great attention to protecting his eyesight in this life, and usually didn't read books after nightfall, so he found a night to see Gao Mengnan.

Gao Mengnan was quite surprised by Gao Pragmatic's visit, and has always been a little suspicious of Gao Pragmatic's intention. However, Gao Shiji's attitude towards him was very friendly, and he did not dwell on the unhappiness of that day, but took the initiative to avoid talking about Gao Wuzi.

Gao pragmatic conversation skills are still good, the topic quickly shifted to Uncle Gao Jie, and then naturally talked about the old things when Gao Jie was in Nanjing, and then through those old things, aroused Gao Mengnan's interest.

After talking for more than an hour, Gao Pragmatic had a general understanding of Gao Mengnan.

Of course, a short conversation will not give an in-depth understanding of a person's talents, but Gao Pragmatic found from the conversation that Gao Mengnan is indeed a cautious person, he is neither exaggerated nor timid in his speech, and he only truthfully states some past experiences, and even rarely adds his own opinions.

Other than that, he is not very taboo about mentioning his biological father. His biological father is a native of Dinghai County, Ningbo, Zhejiang, born in the Dinghai Wei Army, originally served in the Zhejiang Naval Division, and later because of the conquest and suppression of the Japanese Invaders, he was transferred around, and finally somehow belonged to Gao Jie, the commander of Caojiang, until he died in battle.

According to Gao Mengnan, when he was a child, he also stayed on the ship with his biological father for two or three years - military households, they are all hereditary, and the sailor is different from the land division, if a person has never been to sea, he will definitely not be able to directly become a member of the sailor, so many children of the sailor military household will be brought to the ship to familiarize themselves with the ship and understand the hydrology since they were young.

For Gao Pragmatism, this is an unexpected surprise.

In his long-term plan, he will definitely promote Daming to "go to the blue ocean" in the future, but his own knowledge of the ocean is all from books and the Internet, which belongs to the level of knowledge reserve but no practical experience. And in this life, he can't fight with the eight poles of the ocean, born in an inland province like Henan, and none of the people available around him have even seen the sea, so he has always been worried that when he goes to the ocean in the future, there will be no available people under him, and all of them will have to be recruited temporarily.

Now it's different, Gao Mengnan's family doesn't have a living person, he himself is the adopted son of his uncle, and he even changed his surname, since he knows something about the ocean, no matter how deep this understanding is, at least he can be regarded as a usable person.

Of course, Gao Pragmatic has no ability to go directly to the blue ocean at the moment, let alone the blue ocean, the Yellow Sea is difficult. However, this does not prevent him from carrying out his usual strategy of laying the groundwork first.

Originally, he planned to let Gao Mengnan go to Cao Gan's side to be a deputy first, so as not to let Cao Gan be in charge of too much business after the completion of the tribute, resulting in too much concentration of power. But now that this is the case, Gao Pragmatic immediately changed the plan, took out another plan that had been prepared for a long time but did not plan to implement it so quickly, and let Gao Mengnan do it slowly.

This plan is to go to Tianjin to buy land and prepare to build a port. And not only Tianjin, but also Leting County, south of Kaiping, will also build a port to be used as a shipping base for Jinghua steel products in the future.

Needless to say, the value of Tianjin Port, he has long suggested to Gao Gong that Cao Yun change to sea transportation, although Gao Gong said that it could not be implemented for the time being for reasons of political stability, but Gao Pragmatic is not in a hurry - Cao Yun is not good, and the private freight court is not in charge, right?

The Yellow River burst its embankment again and again, and it was flooded in several counties, and the goods in the south of the Yangtze River went to the canal to be a pit for a long time.

Now that I finally have someone to use, how can I waste it?
