Fang La turned his head again in confusion and looked at the world-famous prodigy in front of him.
Fang Baihua looked at Gao Zhang's bright, warm eyes and his soothing smile, and mustered up the courage to continue speaking.
“My family’s lacquer garden has been very difficult to operate in recent years.
Speaking of which, it has a lot to do with the Zhu family in Suzhou. "
"Hundred Flowers!" Fang La didn't expect that the girl actually didn't shy away from it at all and actually dared to speak directly. He subconsciously glanced at the famous prodigy champion.
Although Gao Zhang has an excellent reputation, I heard that he is very close to the nephews of the Cai and Tong families, and they are as close as brothers.
And the backstage of the Zhu family and his son is none other than the powerful eunuch Tong Guan and the traitorous prime minister Cai Jing?
"Master Fangyuan, I hope you can trust me like this young lady."
Gao Zhang looked at Fang La with a serious yet serious expression, which made Fang La feel frightened.
But when Gao Zhang's words fell into Fang Baihua's ears, they felt as if they were more beautiful than the dialogues between men and women in those storybooks.
Looking at the bright and warm smile of Gao Zhang, this handsome young man, Fang Baihua felt panicked for no reason.
Last year, Fang Baihua, who was far away from the Central Plains, had already heard about the reputation of this child prodigy who astonished the world with his talent and knowledge.
Moreover, this child prodigy champion is not only talented and knowledgeable, but also courageous in taking on tasks. He likes to speak out and is willing to uphold justice for the people.
The key point is that he is still very young, and it is rumored that this young champion is elegant and handsome, with an appearance like Pan An.
But today, I actually got to know him, and he was just as good-looking and nice-speaking as the rumors said.
Laughing can really make your heart beat faster, and you can't help yourself.
The important point is that just now, as if she was possessed, she let him lead her to the edge of the pier.
Gao Zhang looked at Fang Baihua with a smile, and saw that her charming face was getting redder and redder, as if she was drunk, and her eyes were blurred.
"Little sister, little sister, why is your face getting redder and redder?"
Fang La on the side also noticed something was wrong with the girl's condition, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the girl's forehead.
"My roommate may have been frightened, maybe she caught the cold..."
"NO, I have not."
"..."
#####
Next, Fang Baihua plucked up the courage to tell the world-famous number one scholar about the experiences of the Fang Family Lacquer Garden over the years.
Of course, the big brother next to him who is very talented and capable naturally needs to be praised.
When his father was still in good health, Fang La traveled around the south of the Yangtze River, even on the sea, and met many heroes.
However, since his father became ill, his eldest brother Fang La returned home.
However, as the Zhu family and his son gained power, they began to raid Suzhou and beyond, and their Fang Family Lacquer Garden in Muzhou was also affected.
The Zhu family and his son were building large-scale construction projects in Suzhou, and most of the materials were collected free of charge.
The ones who suffered were naturally the people in the areas south of the Yangtze River.
Gao Zhang listened silently, watching Fang Baihua in front of him calm down after the excitement passed and spoke in a coherent and clear manner.
Fang La on the side saw that Gao Zhang's expression did not change, and he did not have any overreaction because of his sister's words.
This made Fang La feel heartbroken. He followed the girl's words and added to them, and frankly put on the table everything he knew about the local situation in Muzhou.
When Gao Zhang heard that the Zhu family actually had a large-scale smuggling fleet, there were more than thirty boats, and there were hundreds of guards on board.
And among them, there were three giant boats worth two thousand materials. Gao Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Are you sure that is the smuggling fleet of Zhu and his son?"
"I'm sure that I have some friends at sea. The Zhu family's fleet also had conflicts with them and looted many merchant ships..."
"It's so great, ah... I mean, I can get so much evidence of the Zhu family and his son from you, Master Fang Yuan.
In this way, I will be more confident that they can be brought to justice. "
Fang La looked at the excited prodigy champion suspiciously, feeling that something was obviously wrong with the child's smile.
I don't know if he can be reliable in doing things, especially when Fang La thought of the other two deputy envoys Tong Dalang and Cai Liulang who were accompanying Gao Zhang, he became more and more uneasy.
And Gao Zhang began to inquire carefully about the whereabouts of Fang La's fleet, and learned that the fleet was currently staying near Hangzhou.
Gao Zhang couldn't help but stood up, walked around the cabin, and thought carefully.
Moreover, I have always thought about engaging in international trade. If I want to engage in international trade, I must have suitable means of transportation. The most suitable means of transportation in this era is naturally sea-going ships.
Unexpectedly, the Zhu family and his son who he wanted to get rid of would actually have the opportunity to hunt rabbits and get a free fleet.
If you don't keep this fleet in your hands, you will be sorry for the country, the people, and China.
Even if the fleet looks ordinary, it is better than nothing. As long as the foundation is there, development and growth is not a problem.
#####
But there is a problem. Even if the fleet is captured, there is currently no suitable person around him to control it.
Just because the Imperial City Division is submissive to him now does not mean that he will not fall out in the future. After all, the officials of the Imperial City Division may also be replaced.
What's more, Gao Zhang has many ulterior motives, and he wants to use this fleet to achieve them.
Then it would be even more impossible for the fleet to fall into the hands of the Imperial City Division.
But if you look closely at the people around you, you can see that there are quite a lot of confidants. There is no lack of talent among the servants of the Gao Mansion.
However, managing a fleet, or even a future navy, is not something that a landlubber who has never experienced the sea breeze can handle in a short period of time.
Moreover, I want to eat this fleet myself, and then turn it into my own, ah no, become a fleet affiliated to the Han and Tang Metal Workshops...
Fang Baihua had a pair of charming, loving eyes, staring straight at the champion prodigy, although she was younger than herself.
He is definitely a rare talent in the world. He was able to become the number one scholar at a young age, and he only became the number one scholar last year.
This year, he was actually entrusted with an important task by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and became the governor...
This is a much larger official than a county magistrate or even a magistrate, and he is so good-looking, soft-spoken, and has such a good attitude toward himself...
It's a pity that I... I seem to be a bit too tall, a full head taller than Gao Dalang. However, he is still young and should be able to grow longer...
"younger sister!"
"ah!"
