Due to the reason why Cao Gan decisively handed over power, Gao Mo, who had a slight quarrel with him, now has a much improved opinion of him, and even feels a little bit indebted to him, so he held back on him all the way before raising questions. Gao Mo
He smiled very kindly and asked: "President Cao, do you want to ask, what big thing does the young master want me to do when he sent the three of us to answer the question?"
"Yes, Gao Tuanzuo. Now let me answer this, since Mutu Xibu was taken over by Deputy Gao Tuan last time, everything has been going well. Even our business in the entire Koubei area has been particularly easy to negotiate.
Even the Woerdu headquarters in Hetao took the initiative to send people to contact us and asked if we could do business with them..." When Cao Gan said this, he paused and said with a wry smile: "The president is a civil servant.
It feels a little awkward to be placed on top of my old boss, Gao Tuanzuo, you might as well call me Shopkeeper Cao."
Gao Mo nodded and said, "I heard the eldest young master talk about the affairs of the Wo'erdu headquarters last time."
Cao Gan's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked: "What did the young master say?"
"The eldest young master said that in principle he agrees to do business with them, but he may have to wait a while." Gao Mo shrugged.
"Wait a minute?" Cao Gan was slightly startled and said in surprise: "Is there not enough goods? Probably not. The eldest young master's uncle's family, the Zhang family in Puzhou, is one of the most wealthy and powerful people in the Ming Dynasty...
"
Gao Mo sighed: "You may not know that Pizhou broke out again in August this year. The river overflowed and a lot of goods were backlogged in the south of Shandong. A few days ago, Mr. Gaoge decided to appoint Pan Jixun as the river chief.
, adopt the 'water-reinforcement and sand-washing method' approved by both the eldest young master and Pan Jixun to control the river..."
"The eldest young master is really a scholar. He even knows how to regulate rivers." Cao Gan didn't understand what "restraining water to wash away sand", but in his eyes, his eldest young master was a monster anyway. Although it was strange to know how to regulate rivers, he
There are many weird places, but this one is not missing. Anyway, just praise it and that's it.
What Cao Gan really wanted to ask was the following: "When the Pizhou River is opened, will the business with Woerdusi be able to start?"
"It also depends on my attitude." Gao Mo explained: "The eldest young master said that my attitude is the most important thing now."
"Anda's attitude?" Cao Gan was a little confused and asked with a frown: "But Wo'erdusi is also a tribe under my command. They do business with us. Do I disagree?"
Gao Mo laughed, glanced at Anda Khanting not far away, and said quietly: "That's hard to say... Although Woerdusi is Anda's subordinate, he is not a direct descendant. In the words of the eldest young master,
"They have a certain degree of independence, so I may not be willing from the bottom of my heart that they will become stronger through our hands and threaten my own position."
"Oh..." Cao Gan nodded and began to make calculations in his mind: This is just like before I handed over the military power, I was definitely not the eldest master's direct descendant, so the finances were supervised by the young master Gao Guoyan, and the military power was also mixed with a lot of sand.
Later, I honestly handed over the power, and now I was in charge of the external business independently, and the franchise dividends - now I should be considered a direct descendant, right?
The "Woerdusi" tribe they just mentioned was more often translated as "Ordos" in later generations. It was actually the same tribe, and its pastoral area was mainly in Hetao.
At this time, Gao Mo took the initiative and said: "Wo'erdu Division... Actually, our visit to Anda Khan Court this time has something to do with the Wo'erdu Division."
"Oh?" Cao Gan was startled for a moment and asked: "Then we are here to ask if I am right about our plan to do business with the Wo'erdu Division?" He asked this question, but he also felt that this should be the case.
No, if we just asked Anda Khan about his attitude towards this matter, why would it be necessary for the captain and deputy of the servant guard group to come out at the same time? This is the real direct descendant of the eldest young master, and the one who even changed his surname to Gao
A kind of confidant.
"That's not true." Gao Mo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "We... are actually here for a family matter I asked."
Cao Gan was completely stunned: "Is it a family matter? What does his family matter have to do with us?"
Surprisingly, Gao Mo also showed a wry smile at this time and said: "To be honest with Mr. Cao... Well, to be honest with Shopkeeper Cao, I am actually surprised, but the eldest young master said... forget it, Shopkeeper Cao, you have
Have you never heard that I married a third lady three years ago?"
"I've heard about it... but so what, does it mean that the eldest young master... uh, knows this third lady?" He had subconsciously planned to say, "Is it possible that the eldest young master is interested in this third lady?" After thinking about it, the eldest young master just realized
How old are you? Why would you be interested in Mrs. Anda, who is thousands of miles away? This is too nonsense.
Sure enough, Gao Mo sneered and said: "How could the eldest young master know a woman on the grassland?" He waved his hand and said: "I don't know where the eldest young master got the news that this third lady would marry me...
There are some inside stories, and we may be able to make some articles out of them."
After hearing this, Cao Gan's imagination widened for a moment, his eyes rolled around, and he asked: "Could it be that this third lady has her heart set on me, and the eldest young master wants to win her over to do something for our Ming Dynasty?"
Gao Mo stared at him dumbfounded, and after a long while he smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Cao, if you don't tell stories, you are really overqualified... Haha, don't glare at me, you are just joking, you are joking."
Cao Gan rolled his eyes, but still said: "Stop joking, my dear fellow, please hurry up and tell me the errands assigned by the eldest young master."
Gao Mo nodded, glanced at Cao Gan, and said, "I answer, you are more familiar with the situation here than we are. You should think carefully first, are there two mistresses in the north?"
"Two mistresses?" Cao Gan was stunned for a moment: "How can such a thing be possible?"
Gao Mo, however, remained serious and asked, "Have you ever heard of Bhan Naji?"
"Of course there is." Cao Gan introduced: "This Bahan Naji is the only son of Anda's third son Tiebei Taiji. Because he lost his parents when he was young, he has been raised by his grandmother Yike Hatun.
It stands to reason that he is an unlucky child, but Yi Ke Hatun is a very powerful woman, and An Da is a person who may appear to be very impressive to outsiders, but is actually very henpecked... Although Yi Ke Hatun is not very fond of other things about An Da.
He likes to take care of it, but once it involves Han Naji, his grandson, Yi Kehatun will show off his power, so Han Naji, this kid, can be regarded as a lawless guy in Monan. Even Anda's eldest son Xin Ai Huang Taiji
This dear uncle doesn’t dare to mess with him, otherwise he will be whipped directly by his mother Yi Ke Hatun.” [Important reminder, today’s author’s speech is very important to the following plot, please read it.]
