Chapter 269: Don't Forget the Day of Triumph
Being able to ask such a sentence, Xu Xun's evaluation of Gu Dayong immediately skyrocketed.
Zhu Houzhao favored a lot of eunuchs, only Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, who Xu Xun dealt with the most, Liu Jin was sincere and discouraged, and Zhang Yong was ambitious, in other words, the two were the two most fuel-efficient among the lamps that were desperately shining. In contrast, Gu Da seems to be very arrogant, but he must not be cunning, otherwise he will directly take over the benefits at this time, so why bother asking.
At this moment, Xu Xun picked up the bowl and drank a big sip of oil tea, then put down the bowl and said: "It's not that they don't bring you with them, but they can still do it without them, but they can do it without you, but they will never succeed without you." Moreover, Lao Liu is now in charge of the Bell and Drum Division, and it is too late for Cheng to be busy in the early dynasty; Lao Zhang is the supervisor of the avant-garde of the government army, and there are 1,500 new people there, and he can't leave it at all. Moreover, to do this, what is needed is the name, who has it but you? Besides, I didn't plan to leave them alone, and I didn't need them to do anything at that time, but I gave them a 10% dividend, plus everyone else shared some profits, wasn't everyone happy? ”
When Gu Dayong heard this, he was finally relieved, so he smiled and said: "I said, Lao Liu and I are so good that we wear a pair of pants, even Lao Zhang has been friends for many years, and the others have been friends for many years. However, you said that the outer city and the Tonghui River were built, and the elders of the court meeting could pass through? ”
"We'll have to talk about that later. Nowadays, there is no vacant land in the capital, and there are more and more storefronts and houses built outside the Chongwen Gate of Xuanwu Gate, Zhengyang Gate, and many of them are traders and lifters who come to the capital from other places to do business. But you also know the situation of the little prince's troops committing crimes before, to put it mildly, orthodox Jingtai at that time, even the capital was once under the city by Tartar soldiers, even if there is no war, after all, the outside of the city is not as safe as the inside of the city, which of those families outside the city has not been robbed, the rich people ask for the hospital, what about the money? Once more and more people from outside the city gather, the people's voices will be louder and louder to call for the construction of the outer wall and the dredging of the Tonghui River. What we have to do now is how to use this outer city to make money. ”
This conversation was the whole middle of the night, and Gu Da was used to staying up late with Zhu Houzhao, but it was all the new things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince liked, and he had never worked so hard because of business. It didn't take until dawn, and he finally couldn't help but slap the desk with his red eyes and shouted, "Send tea, ask for the strongest tea!" ”
Xu Xun had not rested since he was busy before, and he had to yawn lazily at this time. Not long after, someone pushed the door outside and came in to deliver tea, Gu Dayong took a cup of goo and drank it clean without looking at it, and when he raised his eyes and saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Are those little cubs outside dead, and they dare to ask Lao Zhong to send tea?" ”
"They take turns on duty and haven't slept all night, and they have to go out to do things during the day, since I stay behind, I should come in and deliver a cup of tea." After growing his hair for almost a year, tidying up his messy beard, and having been in the house for a while, Huitong now naturally looks inferior to the raunchy and smuggling appearance when he was messing around with Xu Liang, and he is very official.
Xu Xun watched it from the side, and he was happy in his eyes, and as soon as he retreated, he smiled and said: "Lao Gu, I can't see that you don't hum or ha, this team has been built, not to mention, even the prestige is very good." Looking at the age of this person, could it be the old team of the West Factory back then? ”
"Brother Xu, your vision is really first-class!" Gu Da used a cup of strong tea to eat at this time, and the person was refreshed again, and immediately smiled, "This person really still wants to visit, back then, the West Factory was a tree that fell and scattered, most of them died, and the rest were two or three kittens and dogs. He has seriously followed Wei Ying and Wu Shou, even Wang Zhi has seen it, I found his name on the roster, plus there are still small font sizes to see him, otherwise where would he dare to entrust him with the post of punishing thousands of households? ”
Although he knew that Huitong was like a fish in water when he looked at this posture, but at this moment, when he heard the words "punishing a thousand households", Xu Xun still almost didn't stick his eyes out, and further understood how eager Gu Dayong, who didn't have his own team before, was eager to be talented! At this moment, he covered up the surprise by coughing, and then gave Gu Dayong a thumbs up.
"If someone else suddenly gets this high position, it must be nepotism, Lao Gu, you are clever in this move! Even if this person is just in vain, he didn't have the ability to do anything in the West Factory back then, and he was aiming at this gimmick of buying horse bones, and there will be countless people who will vote for you in the future. However, now that Wang Yue is still there, you should be stricter in this pass, and try to let people get caught as little as possible. ”
"Feng Shui takes turns, at the beginning, these few of us in the East Palace were respectful to him, but he didn't have to look at us at all. Now that we are popular, he is not as good as before, so naturally he is not happy! I can save what you said, isn't it just an old saying, don't forget the form of pride, I still understand this truth! ”
Gu Dayong is the surname of people who respect me and I respect people, Xu Xun from last night to this morning, every word has been said to his heart, he naturally feels that this brother is righteous and kind, and he nodded again and again, but he praised Huitong again, and Xu Xun wanted to laugh but could only hold back, and he couldn't hold back a lot of hard work. When it was time to go out to say goodbye, I didn't know whether Gu Dayong intended to show off his subordinates like an arm, or if he had any other intentions, and when he learned that Xu Xun was going to go home at night, he simply asked Huitong to give him a ride, but this was in Xu Xun's arms.
Therefore, there are many places to use people in the palace, Xu Xun only brought a horse bridge out, and at this time he signaled people to follow from afar, and he rode his horse all the way, and talked to Huitong in a low voice all the way. At first, it was just some polite sayings, but when he arrived in a place where there were few people, he said casually: "Monk, congratulations on finally getting what you wanted." ”
"Where is it, if you don't follow the prince, how can you be today?"
Smartcom is really mixed feelings. At this time last year, he was also Xu Liang, and even Xu Xun himself, he was still struggling in the pool of sewage in Jinling, and now that time has passed, Xu Liang has taken the title of his ancestor, and he has re-entered the West Factory to become the head of a thousand households, and Xu Xun is deeply trusted by the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne, which is simply a earth-shaking change. After saying this sentence sincerely, he asked without a trace: "Does the prince have any other orders?" ”
"There are no other instructions, you just follow Gu Dayong to do your part, but remember to persuade where you should be persuaded, don't let people get too carried away. There is only one, you have to set up this news network of the West Factory, and then track down two people for me. ”
Of course, Huitong knew that today's West Factory was just a shelf, and his eyeliners, whether in terms of quality or quantity, would not reach the corresponding level for a while, so he naturally agreed, and immediately asked: "Who does the prince want to check?" ”
"The first one is the Di Ju man who once lived in Jiao Fang's house. Of course, this person is dead, but there is something strange, maybe soon after the prince ascends the throne, if he is still worried, he will also use the West Factory to investigate, you are always right in the front. It was he who presented Liu Wentai with two pills, and Liu Wentai presented them to Emperor Daxing, and then all kinds of coincidences caused the current ending. This person used to live in the Jiangxi Guild Hall, Jiao Fang said that he was dead, but it is really unbelievable, you follow this road to check first. As for the second person you want to check, it is my adoptive father Xu Bian. ”
Seeing that Huitong was dumbfounded, Xu Xun roughly recounted what the little girl said before, and then looked at Huitong and said: "A person who didn't appear when he should have appeared, but suddenly appeared when he shouldn't, and it was him, I really couldn't let go." There were too many messy things before, and I didn't want my father to know too much, so I hid it, but you are different. You are a close friend of your father for many years, and now you are in the West Factory, so I can only rest assured that I will hand over this matter to you to investigate. ”
Even if he claims to be smart or shrewd, Huitong only thinks that one head and two big ones are at this time, but the trickiness of the matter is not in the bizarre nature of this matter, but in another aspect. After being silent for a while, he suddenly asked, "If it is really found out that there was a design by Xu Bian in that matter, the prince is not afraid that I will tell your father directly?" ”
"Although Jinling's father was forced by the situation, it was also because the two of us had helped each other before, and there was only recognition and no rejection between each other, and Xu Dong's stupid move was better to dispel our last concerns, but we are not three-year-old children, how can we be so gullible? I once suspected that you were the troublemaker, not to mention that my father had not experienced the world for nothing for so many years. If you really find out the truth of what happened back then, you don't need to tell me, I will naturally find out to my father. ”
Huitong stared at Xu Xun for a long time, and finally sighed: "Don't find fault with the prince, I have been brothers with your father for decades, and I know him best." He was confused and knew in his heart that even if you were not his biological son, even his biological son might not be as intimate as you, so it was better to continue to maintain the status quo. You don't have to think about anything to stuff him with a woman so that he can really keep a queen, although he used to have no money and power, but if he really wants a woman, how can he not have it, but he is sad to the extreme. All in all, how should you father and son continue to live, I will carefully track this matter and wait for my news! ”
When they were separated, seeing that Huitong turned his horse's head and walked away, Xu Xun breathed a long sigh of relief. He could naturally lock this matter in his heart, and said that his team had been formed, and then ordered his head to investigate slowly. However, he always had some unspeakable emotions for Xu Bian, a nominally unrelated adoptive father, not to mention that Emperor Hongzhi's death was too sudden, and he accompanied Zhu Houzhao to the front at first glance, which was not enough to withstand some unexpected situations. Rather than waiting for the incident to happen later, it is better to be ahead of the curve. It's like Gu Dayong, who hasn't read a few books, knows that he can't get carried away with his pride!
Moreover, although Smartcom is a little slippery, it is much more reliable than others after all. In the past, he was looking for a foothold and laying a foundation, and in the future, it is time to find more talents to add bricks.
