Back at the house where he lived in Fennan City, Gao Yang was preparing to wash up and rest.

As soon as he finished washing his face, Murong Shisu came over and reported: "General, the old man of the Zhao family asks to see you." ”

"Oh? So what's going on? Gao Yang wiped his face and asked suspiciously.

Murong Shisu shook his head and replied: "The last general doesn't know, I only know that he seems to have brought a gift over, saying that he wanted to give it to the general personally, and the old man refused to tell him what it was, but only said that he would personally report it to the general." ”

Gao Yang was very puzzled in his heart, he didn't know what this old man wanted to do at such a late hour, but the visitor was a guest, and besides, this old man donated a lot of grain, grass and money today, and with his performance today, it was also worth Gao Yang to receive.

"Well, I don't know what this old man wants to do, invite him to the hall to talk about it, I want to see what medicine he sells in his gourd?" Gao Yang waved his hand.

Murong Shisu didn't say anything more at the moment, but just retreated respectfully......

After a while, I saw a thin and elegant old man slowly walked up, knelt down to Gao Yang who was sitting on the main seat, and bowed: "The old man greets the son, and asks the son to forgive the old man for not knowing Mount Tai before, which offended the respect of the son, please forgive the old man for being rude today." ”

Gao Yang was a little surprised in his heart, supported him with his hand, and said: "It's okay, get up, Ben Jiang didn't tell you his identity, and those who don't know are not guilty, but Ben Jiang is very curious about how Zhao Lao knows Ben General's identity?" ”

Zhao Lao stood up respectfully, Gao Yang motioned for him to sit down and speak, and he sat down gently, but only half of his butt was on the chair, which looked a little restrained, which made Gao Yang look a little funny.

"Old Zhao doesn't have to be so restrained, just chat with Ben Jiang naturally, and Ben Jiang won't blame you for saying anything wrong."

"The general is merciful, the old man has lived for such a long time, although he doesn't have much ability, but his vision of seeing people is not bad, the general's bearing is extraordinary, revealing a kind of temperament of a superior person from his bones, the general must be the son of the powerful, the general's surname is Gao, if nothing else, it should be a descendant of the Gao family."

Gao Yang was a little surprised in his heart, and couldn't help admiring the patriarch of the Zhao family, sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, it seemed that he had underestimated this person a little at the beginning, but he didn't admit his identity.

"Hehe, the Kanto Gao clan is not only the prime minister, how can I be able to climb with the prime minister" Gao Yang smiled, sloppy, and quibbled.

"Maybe it's because of the old decay and the loneliness, but it is more likely that the descendants of the Gao family who can make Duan Shuai pay attention to belong to the prime minister's lineage, of course, this is the old decay's blind speculation."

Gao Yang laughed, and then "snorted" and deliberately threatened: "Mr. Zhao, in this troubled world, blind guessing will be fatal, don't you know?" ”

Zhao Lao's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The general is angry, it is the old decay who deserves to die, and I hope that the general will spare the old decay for the sake of the old decay and the usefulness." ”

"Well, don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I said just now that it is a natural chat, and if you make a mistake, you will be fine, just give you a reminder, remember not to speculate indiscriminately next time, and don't talk about today's things to outsiders, do you know?"

Gao Yang didn't want to publicize his identity for the time being, and keeping a low profile was the best choice at the moment, so he warned indifferently.

Zhao Lao has lived a long time, how could he not know the meaning of Gao Yang's words, and immediately swore and promised: "General rest assured, the old man came to find the general today because of other things, and he didn't talk about other things." ”

"Oh?" Gao Yang asked suspiciously, he didn't know what Zhao Lao had prepared for him, he looked at Zhao Lao and asked puzzledly: "Just now the soldier reported that Zhao Lao was going to give me a rare treasure, what is it?" ”

Zhao Lao looked around and found that only Murong Shisu and a few personal soldiers were here in the hall at present, and there were no other idle people, so he said in a straight voice: "This is a beautiful woman, who has not yet been married to others, and is still a complete body, specially given to the general as a concubine, this woman is the granddaughter of the old man, and I hope the general will accept it." ”

Gao Yang frowned, and said lightly: "Old Zhao, it is wartime at present, no women can be left in the army, you are not a soldier, so those who don't know are not guilty, please send your granddaughter back." ”

Zhao Lao's face changed color when he heard this, and then he knelt down regardless of his image, kowtowed his head heavily, and directly confused Gao Yang, and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Zhao, why are you doing this?" ”

Zhao Lao raised his swollen forehead and said: "General, since the old man met the general, he knows that the general has an extraordinary bearing, and he will definitely have something to do in the future, although the general is still relatively weak, but Jin Lin is not a thing in the pool, and the old man also hopes that when the general takes off, he can still leave a soup for the old man to drink, and take care of my Zhao family." ”

Angel investing? What comes to Gao Yang's mind is this word, compared to the so-called venture capital in modern times, what fails is nothing more than money, and what is invested in ancient times is the net worth, and if you succeed, you may gain a lot, but if you fail, you may die and the clan will be wiped out, I can't help but secretly admire this old man, who is old and still works so hard.

In fact, the main reason is that Gao Yang has just crossed into this era and has not fully integrated into this era, so he can't understand how determined the small landlords and commoners of the lower class of the pyramid are to climb up. The asymmetry of resources, the powerful people of the wealthy family control the resources of absolute superiority, control the government, and the common people of the Han tribe at the bottom can hardly break the shackles and successfully climb to the upper class of the pyramid.

In fact, Gao Yang has not really felt that the resource monopoly in ancient times is more terrible than in modern times, especially in the troubled times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, human life is like a mustard, coupled with the backward productive forces and the underdeveloped level of science and technology, the lack of resources, and the people get even less. In ancient times, the so-called prosperous times could only solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people and the incorruptibility of political laws, but in the face of troubled disasters, the corpses of the starving dead were scattered all over the field.

Gao Yang understood this old man's thoughts, whether it was the Eastern Wei Dynasty or the Western Wei Dynasty, in fact, different forces in the Northern Wei Dynasty were competing and fighting. For the small landlords and wealthy families below, of course, whoever gives more benefits and who is stronger will follow whoever mixes, and there is no loyalty, the current nominal royal family of the Eastern Wei and Western Wei Dynasty is still the Yuan family, and the people on both sides do not put themselves on the opposite side.

"Zhao Lao can afford to look at the general, the general is very grateful, since it has been sent over, it is also Zhao Lao's heart, just stay in the house, as long as Zhao Lao is good at doing things, the general will not treat your Zhao family badly, and you must not live up to the kindness of the general."

Zhao Lao's heart relaxed when he heard this, what he was most afraid of was that Gao Yang would not accept his granddaughter, and he didn't expect his granddaughter to become a wife.

Even if his granddaughter could become a concubine of Gao Yang, Zhao Lao would feel that this investment was worth it, so he insisted on sending the slim and literary granddaughter of the family to serve Gao Yang despite his son's opposition.
