Chapter 480 Searching for Gu Yanwu

"Old man,"

Hearing Lin Xiao say this, Li Tao sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "We are all soldiers, in terms of civil affairs, who is better than whom, who can have this kind of experience before?" ”

"Those who can work hard......"

As soon as Lin Xiao opened his mouth, he found that the words were inappropriate, and when he caught a glimpse of Li Tao, he glanced at him suddenly, and hurriedly smiled with his hand, "No...... I mean, I can't do this kind of thing, and only you, Lao Li, can pick up this burden......"

"Please, don't ...... Alas, I'm troubled every day, roasting on the fire every day......"

Li Tao was so anxious that he clenched his fists and said, "This sanitation management is just a small detail, this city in troubled times, like an abandoned child, completely scattered, everything is off......"

"I understand, I understand,"

Lin Xiao nodded hurriedly and said, "There are so many people's problems with food, public security, and production...... There are many more problems waiting for us to solve, and none of them will be easy. ”

"Who's to say it isn't,"

Li Tao said with emotion, "Except for silver, I want food but no food, and I want people and no one...... If it weren't for Xiao Xia to help me, I would be covered in iron, how many nails could I make? ”

"Lao Li, thank you for your hard work,"

Lin Xiao stopped, patted Li Tao gently, and said gently, "Don't worry, if you have any difficulties, you can mention them, and we will share them together." ”

"That's what you said,"

Li Tao raised his eyes to look at him and said in a low voice, "I just have a request." ”

"What requirements? Just say, "

Lin Xiao said seriously, "Do we still see each other?" ”

"Okay,"

Li Tao took a step closer and pretended to be mysterious, "I want you to ...... Go and find someone. ”

"Who?"

"Gu Yanwu."

"Gu Yanwu?" Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "You mean...... Is that Gu Yanwu who first mentioned 'the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible'? Is he still alive? ”

"Of course, who else is it?"

Li Tao smiled proudly and said, "Do you know, this person is not only erudite and modest, he is a Confucian master, but also very good at managing money, and he is a rare capable person." ”

"But he ......," Lin Xiao hesitated, "Isn't it the Donglin Party?" ”

"You,"

Li Tao nodded at him and sneered, "You and him are still half of the countrymen, you really don't know anything about his deeds?" ”

"Uh......"

Lin Xiao's face was slightly red, and he was embarrassed.

The famous Gu Yanwu, of course he has heard of it, he knows that Gu Yanwu was one of the three great Confucians in the late Ming Dynasty, and wrote a book called "Rizhilu", the impassioned sentence "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband", and it has inspired generations of Chinese scholars.

He also knew that Gu Yanwu was a native of Kunshan County, and he had lived in Changshu for a long time, and he was considered to be half of his predecessor in Suzhou Prefecture, but he really didn't know anything about the specific life of this duke.

"It's not a member of the Donglin Party, he's the backbone of the Restoration Society,"

Li Tao shook his head and explained, "When he debuted, the Donglin Party had already fallen, and this Fushe was mainly based on education, moving the government and the opposition, and in terms of political ambitions, at best, he could only be called a sympathizer of the Donglin Party, not a ...... all the way."

"That's right,"

Lin Xiao was stunned, but then he was puzzled, "He...... Can it be used by me? ”

"It's up to you,"

The corners of Li Tao's mouth curled, and he said, "I only know that this duke has participated in several uprisings in the past few years, and after repeated failures, although he has escaped from the merchants, he still has his homeland in mind, and always pays attention to the situation of the anti-Qing struggle in the coastal area, looking for opportunities to make contributions." ”

"Really?"

"Yes,"

Li Tao nodded and said meaningfully, "I also know that this duke and that Qian Qianyi ...... There is a big contradiction. ”

"Oh,"

When Lin Xiao heard this, he immediately came to his senses and asked urgently, "Then where is he now?" ”

"I don't know the specifics,"

Li Tao shook his head regretfully and said, "I only heard that during this time, this duke has been running back and forth in Suzhou, using business as a cover to actively run between various anti-Qing forces, trying his best to entangle the rebels from all over the country, and waiting for an opportunity to move. ”

"Really?"

Lin Xiao didn't think he was selling Guanzi, nodded his head, and then frowned, "Then will he follow King Lu to Nanjing?" ”

"Hard to say,"

Li Tao hesitated, "It is said that he has a very good relationship with Zhang Mingzhen under King Lu, but ...... Because of Qian Qianyi's relationship, he may ......"

"Well, I hope so,"

Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, "Then I'll let Liu Xulei look around immediately." ”

"Okay, but after visiting the trail, I'm afraid...... You'll have to come in person. ”

"Okay," Lin Xiao replied briskly, "If this person is really as good as you say, even if I look at the thatched house, I am willing." ”

"Then please,"

Li Tao grinned, but said in a sly tone, "But, old man, it's hard to quench your thirst from far water, and I still want to be alone with you." ”

"Which one?"

Lin Xiao's eyes froze, this guy won't get an inch, he wants to keep Xia Bomin, right?

"Yu Gui!"

"Yu Gui?"

Lin Xiao's heart was relieved, but he was puzzled.

This Yu Gui is not an important person, but isn't he in Qinzhou and Guangzhou to make canned sea fish?

What do you want him to do? Do you want him to open a semicolon?

"Yes,"

Li Tao nodded and confirmed, "You know, my biggest frustration is that I really lack people at hand...... Gu Yanwu was difficult to determine for a while, I wanted Yu Gui to come over and be responsible for the management of the grain and raw silk industries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

"Raw silk?"

"Hmm,"

Li Tao nodded and said in a deep voice, "You are from southern Jiangsu, you should know, right now, raw silk is about to go on the market...... I have learned that the silkworm farmers in this area have been exploited for a long time, and their lives are too hard. ”

"So?"

"Yes, I'm going to let him come forward, drive a wedge into this industry, and take care of those silk merchants."

"Forehead ......"

Lin Xiao groaned for a moment and said, "This person is quite neat and diligent, but ...... He didn't run a big business before, and he only made grain, I'm afraid...... Can't afford such a big thing. ”

"How?"

Li Tao's eyes flashed, "Listen to the tone, do you have a more suitable candidate?" ”

"Yu Gui, let him come over, I can help you take care of the food aspect, just let him run the canning factory by the way,"

Lin Xiao waved his hand and thought, "As for the raw silk industry, I think of a person, maybe ......."

"Who?" Li Tao hurriedly asked.

He believes in Lin Xiao's vision, this guy's eyes are above the top, and the person who can be favored by him can't be wrong.

"This person's name is Guo Longyue, and he is a wealthy businessman in Guangzhou,"

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and said frankly, "I have met this person a few times, and his character is quite good, he used to be mainly engaged in overseas trade, and he did quite a big job, and he didn't lose to that Jack Li ......."

"That's good wow,"

Li Tao said happily, "You hurry up, notify Li Hanzhi tonight, and let him be responsible for inviting them to come over ......"

"Okay, okay, it's up to you,"

Lin Xiao laughed for a while and said, "Old man, I fully support people and money, as for the specific operation, I can't help much...... In front of you, the intelligence chief, I really ......."
