From the beginning, the executive committee has made the two children of the Gao family the focus of its work. [No pop-up novel website] Once an adult's ideas are formed, it is difficult to change them. In contrast, children and adolescents have active minds, have a natural disdain for authority, are easily moved by novel things, love adventure, and are eager to prove that they have the ability to be as good as adults - these are all things that time travelers can take advantage of. of.
They spent a lot of time with the two children every time they traveled through time to observe their personality abilities. Compared with Colgate, Gao Di, as a boy, is more valuable - girls have a small social circle and rarely have the opportunity to show up. Gao Di is younger and his ideas and personality are much more malleable than his elder sister.
Gao Di was smart and astute. Xiao Zishan taught him some accounting and arithmetic methods, and he could master them immediately. Sometimes Wen Desi specially asked him to do some small things, and he could do them properly. When given some modern candies and snacks, he would always take them back and share them with his sister. This shows that he is not greedy or independent and is a responsible person.
When I entered the study room, I saw the siblings kneeling on the ground upright. Bei Wei raised his eyebrows, as if he was getting angry. Wen Desi knew that he couldn't see this, so he stopped.
"Get up, why are you kneeling here for no reason? Do you think we are the city gods?" Wen Desi raised his hand with a slight smile.
"Please forgive me for being a mother to my slaves." The two children did not get up, but said in unison and kowtowed together.
"As I said before, those who don't know are not guilty," Wen Desi said, "You all should get up."
"Thank you for your grace." The two siblings looked at each other with joy on their faces and stood up quickly.
"Colgate, please go out first and talk to Gao Di if you have anything to say."
"This slave knows." Colgate responded briskly and withdrew. Bei Wei stood up and walked to the window. He saw that Colgate had withdrawn, and then nodded.
Xiao Zishan asked: "Are you familiar with Guangzhou?"
"Familiar, people in the high house often sent me to run errands and gave me a few cents per trip."
"I just asked you about those friends of yours. Are they still playing together now?"
"A few were chosen for their jobs, and the others stayed at home with nothing to do. They often asked me to go out and play."
"Is there anyone reliable here?"
Gao Di suddenly raised his head: "Master wants to take in his family?"
He was indeed a smart boy, Xiao Zishan nodded secretly.
"It's not necessary right now," he said deliberately, "This is not the same thing as choosing your family, but it has something to do with it."
"Then please tell me what kind of person you want."
"We need a few kids who are familiar with Guangzhou to report the news and prices on the streets every day," Xiao Zishan told him one by one the prices of the products he wanted based on what was discussed in advance.
"It's easy. Just go to various teahouses and look at the water signs."
"Collect these things into a book every day and follow the accounting method I taught you."
"I understand, little one."
"I'll give you an extra tael of silver every month as activity expenses. It's up to you to choose the person, but you have to choose carefully. Don't accept anyone who is unreliable or who likes to talk nonsense. In addition, you should always pay attention to the news about the Gao family." Xiao Zishan stared into his eyes closely, "Don't remember anything, we'll talk about it when we get here."
Xiao Zishan said something, and Gao Di responded. He saw a little fear on the boy's face, but the excitement overflowed on his face.
"Do you have any friendly people in Gaozhai?"
"Yes, Uncle Chang, my father's adopted brother. He works as a handyman outside the house." He said a lot of things. This Gao Chang was from his father's hometown and had been in the government for six or seven years. He was very strong and had some martial arts skills, so he could have been chosen as a servant, but he was too outspoken and had no money to be filial and responsible. He made a lot of noise and didn't want to be seen by the superiors. By the time he was in his mid-twenties, he was not even qualified to be a rough girl.
"Is it a bachelor?"
"Yes, but Uncle Chang is very tolerant and doesn't complain much."
Several people glanced at each other, and it turned out that this was a suitable candidate: people who were unsuccessful in their original units would be willing to change jobs, and they were honest and unscrupulous in their speech. Not complaining meant that the person had a peaceful mind, and finally he was strong and had martial arts skills. usefulness.
Of course, these words were said by his nephew, which is quite flattering. But now is the time to employ people, so there is no need to dig too finely. Besides, whether the person is suitable can only be known after using it.
"Do you want to send Uncle Chang over? He's not on duty today."
"Okay, go and invite him."
"I'll tell him if dad invites him to drink, he will come."
Such a high level of understanding, I understood it without being told to keep it secret. However, this child is so smart, it will be a disaster if he cannot control it well in the future. Xiao Zishan's thoughts have always been dark.
After a while, Gao Chang came and kowtowed to meet him after being introduced by Gao Di. Judging from his stature, he is quite strong, and his movements are quite flexible.
Xiao Zishan only asked about his life background and his job as an errand in the Gao family.
"...I have been working as a handyman outside my house for six years." Gao Ju reported.
"I see that you are handsome and have good skills. Why do you always work as a handyman?"
"The little one is clumsy by nature and can't speak well, so he has been working as a handyman."
"Have you ever married a wife?"
"No..." Gao Chang blushed, "I'm too poor, no woman is willing to follow me."
"You have been working as an errand for their family for all these years, and the Gao family doesn't give you a maid?"
"I'm really too poor, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep a woman if I'm worthy of him."
Xiao Zishan thought that this man was a good person. His master's family showed little kindness to him, and he never said a bad word about his master's family in front of outsiders.
"How does the Gao family treat you?"
"For a young slave, it is a gift from his master to provide him with clothes, clothing and food." He speaks neither humble nor arrogantly, and moves forward and retreats freely.
Xiao Zishan glanced at Bei Wei. The former scout jumped up and pushed hard. Gao Chang was caught off guard and fell backwards. He took seven or eight steps back before he stopped. Although his face was full of surprise, he only put on his clothes and continued to stand with his hands down.
Bei Wei nodded. This man's lower body was very stable, and he really had some skills.
"Do you know martial arts?" Xiao Zishan asked.
"Country Kungfu, practicing self-defense and physical fitness, making the gentlemen laugh."
Xiao Zishan nodded, asked Gao Di not to ask any more questions, and asked Gao Di to take him out for a drink.
Gao Di withdrew. Everyone was satisfied with the result of this interview, but we had to find another way to recruit this person. Several people discussed the following work to be carried out in Guangzhou. At present, they have launched their first intelligence network. The purpose of this intelligence network is not to collect any information, but to see whether Gao Di is suitable for such a role. It can also confirm whether the Gao family will be loyal.
If Gao Qing persists in being Master Gao's spy, then the next step will be to find someone new as soon as possible.
"I think Gao Qing's attitude towards Mr. Gao is also ambiguous." Bei Wei said, "Looking at his wife and children, they don't look like they are completely devoted."
"I agree with this statement." Wen Desi nodded, "Gao Qing is just intimidated by the high power. In fact, he has little loyalty to his old master."
"Actually, what he is more afraid of is that he will follow us and leave his hometown. We now hold the title of Australian maritime merchants. He is not from Guangdong and Fujian, where he is used to traveling overseas."
"Let's fight for his wife and children first. After today, he will think carefully before reporting again."
"Will he still go?"
"I think there will be more, but it will be much less. Gao Qing is timid and has no independent opinion. The old master's power is still there, and he still has the idea of leaving a way out. This person can't do anything without leaving Gao Ji's sphere of influence. Credit."
"We want to have our own house as soon as possible."
"Yes, right now we are trying to facilitate trade, but before the last time we travel, we must get a new house."
"Gaodi is pretty good, but it's a pity that he's just a child. He can't do things like buy a house or have slaves."
"Where's Gao Chang..."
"There's someone!" Bei Wei suddenly shouted, rushed to the window, picked up a stone in the bonsai and flew it out. There was a muffled sound outside. It seems to have hit something.
The three urban otakus were all panicked for a moment, slumping down on their chairs and not daring to breathe out.
"What's going on?" Wen Desi asked tremblingly.
"There is a dark shadow in the corner of the courtyard opposite." Bei Wei said angrily, "It's not dark yet to sneak in and conduct reconnaissance. How brave you are."
"Eavesdropping?"
"It should be." Bei Wei said, "The route is zigzag down to the window."
"The one who exalted you?"
"It's not like that. Gao Zhi already has eyes and ears here. Our business with him is so smooth, there is no need for him to do something like this that will offend us."
"Who could that be?"
"I'm afraid it's the people who are jealous of him." Xiao Zishan said loudly when he thought about giving them the house: "It's just that these rare items have been on the market recently, and my place has attracted a lot of attention." These should be the ones who are "paying attention".
Things are getting more complicated. Thinking of Gao Zhan's uneasy appearance today, their thoughts were a little nervous.
