Chapter 22: Development (1)
"Mo Xiao, your courage is not small."
Gu Lingjin looked at Mo Xiao and said expressionlessly.
"Mo Xiao just doesn't want the old master and the young master to be hurt."
Mo Xiao didn't care about Gu Lingjin being angry at all, it didn't matter if Gu Lingjin was angry now, as long as the other party could agree to his thoughts. Moreover, Mo Xiao felt that Gu Lingjin might not be angry about this matter, after all, these things were all possible to experience.
"I know that the young master may be more interested in my proposal after this incident, but time is an opportunity, and I don't want the opportunity to be wasted in front of my eyes, so please promise me."
Gu Lingjin didn't speak, just looked at Mo Xiao.
Yuan Ning, who was standing on the side, didn't speak, but he felt that Gu Lingjin should not refuse such a thing. However, now it seems that Gu Lingjin does not seem to agree to this matter.
"Young master, don't worry, I know where my bottom line is, and I will definitely not make a fortune at this time, taking advantage of the disaster."
Mo Xiao looked at Gu Lingjin and still didn't speak, and continued.
Since the young master didn't speak, he agreed. Thank you young master for your success, Mo Xiao will definitely work hard. ”
Gu Lingjin looked at Mo Xiao, but still didn't speak. But it doesn't matter if you speak or not, because Mo Xiao has already understood what she means.
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what Mo Xiao said, this matter is important.
If there is really any accident, at least there are other places where you can adjust grain and grass to ensure your own safety. However, this thing is not easy to do, and I don't know if Mo Xiao can succeed.
"Young Master?"
Mo Xiao looked at Gu Lingjin and really didn't say a word, this heart was still very empty.
"Now that you've thought it through, I won't do anything against it, because it's in my favor. However, you have to think clearly, this matter is not so simple. ”
Gu Lingjin looked at Mo Xiao's affirmation, and he didn't understand where the other party's confidence came from.
"Yes, I know. All things in this world are not guaranteed to succeed if you want to succeed, and there is definitely a possibility of failure, but Mo Xiao will definitely minimize the loss. ”
Even if there is a real problem, it should be possible to solve it as soon as possible.
"It's good if you think of it yourself."
Finally crossed the bright road, after Gu Lingjin agreed, Mo Xiao took Yuan Ling to prepare things, and this time the matter will definitely not be settled like this.
Mo Xiao prepared some food that could be eaten for a long time, and then packed some simple clothes, and when he went out this time, Mo Xiao did not forget to dress up as a man. Fortunately, with Yuan Ling by his side all the time, he can also avoid contact with those men a little.
Along the way, Mo Xiao watched the Gu family's army govern the army strictly, but he just didn't understand why the emperor would send Gu Zhang here, could it be that he was worried that there would be bandits on the road? This is not impossible, after all, so much food will definitely become a target.
On the other side, the capital.
"How could this matter have happened to Gu Zhang?"
A middle-aged man in a fancy costume said nervously.
"The subordinates don't know, but it was appointed by the emperor. Could it be because the emperor knows about us? ”
A subordinate beside the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes said tremblingly.
"Impossible, it's very hidden, it's impossible to be discovered."
After the subordinate had just doubted it, he quickly denied it, if this thing really became a reality, then it proved that he was not far from death. Therefore, we must not let this happen.
"Whether it is discovered or not, you keep an eye on me, if those people are discovered, you must find out in time, and when the time comes, you will silence those who talk a lot."
The man in the Chinese costume only hesitated slightly, and then said with great certainty.
"My lord, if we really want to kill it, we will have more people to do it. It can be said that it is a whole body, if there is any omission and goes to find Gu Zhang, what should I do? ”
The subordinates calculated in their hearts, and there are many people who know the inside story. If everybody wants to silence it, it's not going to be easy to do.
"What's this? Could it be that if those people found Gu Zhang, you would have no way to kill it? ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
The subordinate took the order and left.
The man in Chinese clothes pressed his forehead, the occurrence of this incident was really unprepared, he was only out of the capital for two days, and there was such a mistake, aren't those people in the court worried about Gu Zhang's investigation?
"Someone's coming."
"Sir."
"You go to investigate, who are the people who went to the disaster relief this time."
"Yes."
The man in the fancy dress clasped his hands and rubbed them, expecting the answer to this question, which was satisfactory to himself.
From the capital to Yongzhou, the time is not very short, even if it is day and night, it takes several days. Gu Zhang also wanted to work day and night, but was stopped by Zhou Xiaokang.
"Zhou Xiaokang, what are you stopping me from?"
Gu Zhang was anxious, if he went a little later, some people would die because they couldn't eat food. I wish I could have a pair of wings and fly over like this.
"I know you're in a hurry, but look at our team. With so many things, if you don't have a good rest, what if you encounter any enemies along the way? ”
"I,"
Gu Zhang listened to Zhou Xiaokang's words for a long time, but he couldn't say anything. He understood that Zhou Xiaokang's words were true, and he took some grain from the city he passed through, and then transported it all the way to Yongzhou. Not all official roads along the way, not smooth roads, and there will be dangerous places.
If there is any ambush, if the soldiers are tired, then the matter will not be solved.
"Look, you've figured this out yourself, and if that's the case, should you now have the responsibility of being the commander?"
Zhou Xiaokang saw that Gu Zhang was finally a little 'normal', and said what was in his heart.
"What is the responsibility of the commander?"
Gu Zhang didn't understand what Zhou Xiaokang meant.
"Look, you must be in charge of our journey here, so you have to arrange it well, if something happens along the way, you can react well, right?"
Zhou Xiaokang was ready to stand aside and hide from the side.
It's not that he wants to do this on purpose, it's just that Gu Zhang is a person, if there is nothing for the other party to do, there may be some accidents. For example, now, isn't it because there is nothing that makes Gu Zhang want to hurry up in such a hurry?
"How can you hide at this time. This matter is obviously a matter of the two of us, why do you have to push it all on me? ”
Although Gu Zhang is sometimes more impulsive, he also understands the truth, and this head is the most useful, so at this time, he can still understand that the other party is putting the responsibility on himself.
"That's because I know I can calm down no matter what, but you're not. If you're free, you're going to think too much. ”
Zhou Xiaokang said very unceremoniously.
After Gu Zhang heard Zhou Xiaokang's words, he was a little helpless. However, this matter is a fact, and I have no way to refute it, so I can only listen quietly.
"It seems that you yourself have understood that what I said is true, so you should not object to this distribution." Zhou Xiaokang looked at Gu Zhang with a smile. "Okay, don't worry, I will take care of the army, and you should prepare for all emergencies as soon as possible, so that we will not have any worries at that time."
Hearing Zhou Xiaokang's words, Gu Zhang thought about it, and it seemed that things were really like this, since this was the case, then things were actually very easy to do. Anyway, Gu Zhang still doesn't like to deal with literati, and this kind of distribution is still quite good.
"Okay, I'll leave the team's affairs to you, and I'll take care of the road."
When Mo Xiao was on the road, he saw that the speed of the march was really fast, and as far as the current situation was concerned, when would he be able to reach the place? It's a rush to think about it.
"Yuan Ning, why are we marching so slowly?" Mo Xiao didn't understand, but Mo Xiao was sure that Yuan Ling definitely knew. "I've observed our general's style before, and it doesn't look like a general's style at all."
"The reason is very simple, it is because it should be Lord Zhou who makes the decision." Yuan Ling is really very simple about this matter. "You should know that the way we go to Yongzhou is not too far, but there are some remote places along the way, and there will always be dangers. If we move at a normal pace like this, we can be safe. ”
"That's why."
Mo Xiao understood.
Originally, Mo Xiao just felt that there might be some jackals, tigers and leopards along the way, so the emperor would let Gu Zhang come, but now seeing the speed of the march and the foresight of another adult, it seems that things should be like this.
It's certainly not a smooth ride.
"Mo Xiao, are you okay?"
Yuan Ning herself is used to it, but Mo Xiao is a girl no matter what, maybe she has not experienced such a long journey, Yuan Ning is worried that Mo Xiao will not be able to hold on.
"Don't worry, when I studied with my husband, I walked on my feet, although it wasn't as good as now, but I wasn't unbearable."
Mo Xiao looked at the sky, and he was going to set up camp again in a while, whether he wanted to plan a plan later. After all, what you have to do is different from these people, and you still have to prepare in advance.
"What are you doing?"
When Gu Lingjin walked into the camp tent, he saw Mo Xiao writing and drawing, but he couldn't understand it. In particular, Moxiao uses carbon back and forth on the paper, which is not a normal pen and ink.
"I'm planning what I'm going to do when I get to Yongzhou."
Mo Xiao handed over the plan he had written to Gu Lingjin
"Young master, look here, here, in fact, if we only need to open up the transportation a little bit from here, we can earn some price difference first, and then gradually monopolize it."
Mo Xiao knew very well that no matter where he was, the first person to eat crabs would definitely be rich. It's just that I don't know if there are many people who are willing to take risks, and if there are more, they may not make money many times, and the money will be divided.
However, don't do the things that are the only one, if you are targeted, you will be unlucky.
"You think very clearly, but you forget that someone must have done it. You have to be careful not to give it to others. ”
Gu Lingjin didn't believe that Mo Xiao saw business opportunities that others couldn't see.
"What you're saying is that I'm already very clear. I won't be swallowed up, I'll only swallow others. ”
"What do you mean?"
Gu Lingjin couldn't have imagined that things would develop like this.
However, Gu Lingjin is still very clear that this should be the fastest development, and it is also the easiest. As long as Mo Xiao removes the other party's shortcomings at that time, then Mo Xiao can be said to be effortless.
"Your solution is good, but you still have to pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry, I've already figured out what to do about this. Moreover, I think that if I do this, I will actually create opportunities for you, young master. ”
"What do you mean?"
If you can still understand it in the front, then you really don't understand it in the back, what does Mo Xiao mean?
"Young Master, have you forgotten the purpose of this trip? The lord wants to find those corrupt officials, so collusion between officials and businessmen is the most likely thing. I'll just swallow the unscrupulous merchants. ”
Mo Xiao said with a grin
"In this way, we can't help but reap the benefits of the fisherman, and we can also get some proof, can't we?"
"But if you keep going like this, maybe we will arrive, and you won't have a chance."
Gu Lingjin admits that Mo Xiao's idea is good, but the current situation is that the speed of the army is too slow, but it is certain that as long as he reaches the destination, his father will definitely take care of everything as soon as possible, and Mo Xiao will not be able to take any advantage at that time.
"So, I'm going to take leave with you, young master, and Yuan Ling and I are going to speed up us."
Mo Xiao was going to wait until Gu Lingjin agreed, and tomorrow he would speed up with Yuan Ning, arrive in Yongzhou first, and after finding out the situation there, he would swallow some small merchants by the way, and by the way, see if there was any evidence from local officials.
"Okay."
Gu Lingjin agreed.
If Mo Xiao can make meritorious contributions at this time, it will also be beneficial to Mo Xiao's future development. For this, Gu Lingjin is still looking forward to it.
"Thank you, young master."
Mo Xiao's heart was very excited.
He is not a qualified ancient person, but Gu Lingjin is. It is really not easy for him to affirm his ability in this way, and then believe that he can do these things well. Come to think of it, it's really nice to have such a person who trusts me.
"You don't have to thank me, you should know that I actually have a purpose."
"No matter what the purpose is, Mo Xiao is very grateful to the young master for your trust in Mo Xiao."
Mo Xiao is really excited, is he in the mood, it is the saying 'a soldier dies for a confidant'. Gu Lingjin is really a confidant to Mo Xiao.
"Okay, it's not early, you go and rest."
After Gu Lingjin watched Mo Xiao lie in the corner, he also lay down next to him. Maybe only in the matter of resting, Gu Lingjin asked Qin Ling for help a little, after all, Mo Xiao is still a girl, and she and Yuan Ling can take care of it a little, if it were someone else, it might not work.
"Can't sleep?"
The sound of Mo Xiao's breathing made Gu Lingjin understand that Mo Xiao was not asleep.
"Well, I'm a little excited."
Mo Xiao was telling the truth, because of the previous incident, Mo Xiao was very excited, so he couldn't fall asleep for a while.
"You should fall asleep as soon as possible, or you won't have the energy to go tomorrow."
Although Gu Lingjin understands Mo Xiao's mood, this kind of behavior is not very good, at least he should adjust his mood as soon as possible, so that he can rest well.
"Hmm."
Although Mo Xiao agreed with Gu Lingjin's words, it was not so easy to calm down as soon as possible.
"Since you can't calm down, let's take a deep breath and try."
Gu Lingjin didn't understand a little, but it was just a simple thing, why was Mo Xiao so excited? Why don't you think it's a big deal?
"Yes."
Mo Xiao felt very sad, he was obviously a modern person, but at this time, he was still so unreserved. In my previous life, I was most excited when I was studying, and when I had the opportunity to see surgery, I was very excited at that time, and this time I was just excited because I was making money.
I feel a little sad when I think about it, compared with Gu Lingjin, I really see the superiority immediately.
I felt like I finally fell asleep, and it was already dawn.
"Stay safe on the road."
"Thank you for your concern."
After Mo Xiao went to find Yuan Ning, the two of them left the team directly and headed towards their destination.
"I said, do you have any ideas?"
Yuan Ning felt that things always had some rules. When I went out this time, I had to obey Mo Xiao's orders, so I still hoped to hear some news and solutions from Mo Xiao's mouth.
"Yes, but after I get the place, let's talk about it in combination with the actual situation."
Mo Xiao has a bunch of plans in his head now, but it's just a plan, because he doesn't know exactly what the actual situation looks like, and if he makes a conclusion, it will bring a crisis to his plan.
"Don't you have any ideas?"
Yuan Ning thought that Mo Xiao should have some ideas, but he just didn't want to tell himself.
"Yes, the first thing we will do is to quickly investigate the local merchants who are not benevolent, and when we catch the handle, we will annex them with one sentence. At that time, it will be our power, and I will have a good solution. ”
"Well, that's good."
