From the very beginning, the Executive Committee has made the two children of the Gao family the focus of its work. Once adults' ideas are formed, it is difficult to change them. In contrast, children and adolescents have active thinking and a natural contempt for authority, and it is easy for them to
Impressed by novel things, they also love adventure, and are eager to prove that they have abilities that are not inferior to those of adults - these are all things that time travelers can take advantage of.
Every time they traveled through time, they spent a lot of time with the two children to observe their personality abilities. Compared with Colgate, Gao Di, a boy, was more valuable - girls had a small social circle and had few opportunities to show up. Gao Di's
She is younger, and her ideas and personality are much more malleable than her sister.
Gao Di is smart and alert. Xiao Zishan taught him some accounting and arithmetic methods, and he was able to master them immediately. Sometimes Wen Desi specially asked him to do a few small tasks, and he was able to do them properly. He was always rewarded with some modern candies and snacks.
I will take it back and share it with my sister. It shows that I am neither greedy nor independent and I am a responsible person.
When he entered the study, he saw the siblings kneeling straight on the ground. Bei Wei raised his eyebrows, as if he was about to get angry. Wen Desi knew 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 they all said in unison and kowtowed together.
"As I said before, those who don't know are not guilty," Wen Desi said, "you all get up."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir." The two siblings looked at each other with joy on their faces and hurriedly stood up.
"Colgate, please go out first and talk to Gao Di if you have something to say."
"My slave knows." Colgate responded briskly and withdrew. Bei Wei stood up, walked to the window, and nodded when he saw Colgate had retreated.
Xiao Zishan asked: "Are you familiar with Guangzhou?"
"Familiar, people in the high house used to send me to run errands and give me a few cents per trip."
"I just asked you about your friends. Do they still play together now?"
"A few of them were selected for work, 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 is 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 does have something to do with it."
"Then please tell me what kind of person you want."
"We need a few children who are familiar with Guangzhou to report the news and market prices on the street every day," Xiao Zishan told him one by one the market prices of the products he wanted based on what was discussed in advance.
"It's easy. Just go to any teahouse and look at the water sign."
"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 an activity fee. 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 excitement overflowed on his face.
"Do you have any friendly people in Gaozhai?"
"Yes, Uncle Chang, my father's foster brother. He works as a handyman outside the house." He said a lot of things. This Gao Chang is his father's hometown and has been in the government for six or seven years. He is very strong and strong.
I could have picked a servant if I had some martial arts skills, but I was too outspoken and had no money to be filial to the boss. I made trouble and didn't want to be seen by my superiors. I worked as a handyman until I was in my mid-twenties, and I couldn't even be qualified as 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 development target: a person who was unsuccessful in his original unit would be willing to change jobs, and he was straightforward and unscrupulous. His lack of grumbling meant that he had a peaceful mind, and finally he was strong and had martial arts skills.
It's also useful.
Of course, these words were spoken by his nephew, which is quite flattering. But now is the time to hire people, so there is no need to be too careful. Besides, whether the person is suitable can only be known after using him.
"Do you want to send Uncle Chang over? He's not on duty today."
"Okay, you go and invite him."
"I'll tell him if dad invites him to drink, he will come."
He has such a high level of understanding that he understands it without being told to keep it secret. However, this child is so smart, and it will be a disaster if he cannot control it well in the future. Xiao Zishan's thoughts have always been rather dark.
Not long after, Gao Chang came, and was introduced by Gao Di to kowtow to meet him. He was not tall, had a strong physique, and his movements were quite nimble.
Xiao Zishan only asked about his life background and his work 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 and 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. 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, and his family showed no kindness to him, and he would not say a bad word about his family in front of outsiders.
"How does the Gao family treat you?"
"For a young slave, it is a blessing for 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 held back.
Clothes, continue to stand with hands hanging 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.
"Kungfu in the countryside, I practiced self-defense and kept fit, which made 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 they 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 developed the first
An 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 doesn't have much 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 aiming for trade convenience, but before the last time we travel, we must get a new house."
"Gaodi is pretty good, but he's just a child. He can't buy a house or serve as a slave."
"Where's Gao Chang..."
"There's someone!" Bei Wei suddenly shouted, rushed to the window, picked up a stone from the bonsai and flew it out. There was a muffled sound outside, as if he had hit something.
The three urban otakus were all panicked for a moment, slumping down on their chairs and not daring to express their anger.
"What's going on?" Wen Desi asked tremblingly.
"There was a dark shadow in the corner of the courtyard opposite." Bei Wei said angrily, "It's not dark yet to sneak in for reconnaissance. How brave you are."
"Eavesdropping?"
"It should be." Bei Wei said, "The route is zigzag down to the window."
"The one who exalts you?"
"No, 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 those "attention" people.
Things were becoming more and more complicated. Thinking of Gao Zhi's uneasy appearance today, their thoughts became a little nervous.
