Chapter 255 Daily (1)(1/2)
Gao Qiu pulled Gao Yu and talked very late.
The content is mainly about discussing Gao Yu's future.
Gao Qiu means that he still hopes that Gao Yu can go to the official career. However, Gao Qiu does not want Gao Yu to take the military position, because he is a military officer and has the deepest feelings about the situation of the military officers of the Song Dynasty.
Or, there is no way out at all.
Therefore, Gao Qiu hopes that Gao Yu will follow the civil servant path.
But the problem is that Gao Yu has no fame and fortune, so it is not easy to enter the imperial examination.
Gao Yu is not Su Laoquan! He is almost nineteen years old, and Xu Su is already twenty-one, so he is too late to study.
Only the path of eunuch is to be taken.
However, Gao Jian, that is, Gao Yu's elder brother, has already taken the path of loving the emperor. It would be very difficult for Gao Yu to enter the officialdom with loving the emperor. Fortunately, Gao Yu's actions in Hangzhou finally gave him capital. I believe that those ministers in the court will not make things difficult for Gao Yu because of this.
Of course, adding some trouble is inevitable.
"The war in Jiangnan has not yet settled, so it is difficult to discuss with the government.
However, after the wars of Liangzhe Road, officials were killed and injured, and many official positions would be vacant. At that time, the court would draw personnel from the courts and go to Liangzhe Road to fill the vacant. In this way, the court would inevitably have many vacant positions. At that time, the father would try to find a real difference for you.
Work well in the palace for one or two years, and then grinding again.
At that time, you were twenty-three or four years old. For your father, you will try to arrange for you a real lack of exile... Haha, when you are thirty years old, you are not bad enough to be a state. But in this process, you need to calm down. Now, I am afraid that you will be unable to withstand loneliness."
In this world, only parents will worry about you.
Although Gao Yu didn't want to enter the officialdom, he could not refuse Gao Qiu's feelings.
Gao Qiu may be a jester or lucky minister in the eyes of many people, but for Gao Yu, he is definitely a good father.
"Father, the child wants to do business."
"Um?"
"Since the father has arranged a future for his child, the child will never refuse.
However, once you enter the officialdom, even though your child is not a noble person, it is difficult to do anything greedy and improper. The child has never experienced a career, but he knows that there is no need to spend money on this career. Therefore, if you want to find someone to do business, you can also have a guarantee if you enter the career in the future."
"What do you want to do?"
"Baby, I want to make sugar."
"Make sugar?"
There was a Song Dynasty, and the business was developed.
However, after 160 years of development, most of the money-making businesses have been monopolized.
Small businesses are of little use to high surplus. If you want to do a big business, you must have something special.
The Song people are good sweets and have a great demand for sugar.
At this time, most of the sugar products on the market were brown sugar or brown sugar.
"When the child was wandering around with his master in his early years, he saved an Indian man.
The Indians said that there was a way in India, which could bleach the sugar, and the sugar made was as white as snow and as fine as sand. The child was quite curious at that time, so he learned the technique of sugar making from the Indians.
If a child makes white sugar, he will definitely gain a foothold in Bianliang.
Then, with Bianliang as the center, it was sold to various places. I think the profit would not be bad... It was just that we had to do this business, and it was not enough for our Gao family to do it, so we need my father to contact some people before we can do it."
The implication is that I can make the best sugar, but I need a protective umbrella.
Gao Qiu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He looked at Gao Yu with great satisfaction and said softly: "It is indeed very human to think Jixiang'er.
Finding someone to work together is not difficult.
But you have to make what you call "white as snow, as fine as sand" sugar, and you will find the right person for your father."
My father and I will make sugar in some time.”
"Hahaha, if Jixiang'er can really make sugar, and with this old face for her father, she will also find you the identity of "sweet tribute"."
To put it bluntly, "Gongtang" means to find an official to endorse it.
Gao Yu grinned and said, "Don't worry, father, the child will definitely not let his father down."
It was already very late, and Liang came over to urge Gao Yu to go and rest early.
Gao Qiu would not object, but after Gao Yu left, he smiled and came to the bedroom.
"Jixiang'er is well versed in the way of being an official."
"What the hell is that making you so happy?"
"It's nothing, I'm just suddenly a little curious about what the 'white sugar' made by Jixiang' would look like?"
Gao Qiu was lying on the bed and chatted with Liang.
White sugar?
It seems that Jixiang'er has many secrets...
What Gao Yu mentioned was indeed learned from a Indian.
When the Indians make sugar, they use milk to purify and bleach. Their process is very different from the sugar-making process in the Central Plains. According to the Indians, this kind of "white sugar" is in India and only nobles can enjoy it.
Gao Yu had tried this sugar-making process, and the sugar products produced were indeed extraordinary.
This time when Gao Qiu talked to him about his future, he thought of this sugar making process and prepared to promote it.
If the "white sugar" can be promoted, it will definitely occupy the market before this sugar-making process has spread from India. His goal is to target the upper class of the Song Dynasty. In this way, even if this technology is promoted in the future, it will not have much impact on him.
Therefore, no matter what, we must make the sugar first as soon as possible and then seize the market in Bianliang.
The next day, Gao Yu wrote a list and handed it to Gao Cheng to buy.
At noon, he accompanied Liang to talk at home. After lunch, he took Wu Song and Ma Dazhuang to leave Gao Mansion.
This Bianliang City has been separated for more than half a year.
Tokyo is in the middle of winter at this time, and the scenery is very different from when he left Bianliang at the beginning of the year.
"Second brother, try this 'red and white waist', but Pan Lou is a masterpiece."
Outside Panlou, Gao Yu bought some snacks, and the three of them held them in their hands, and they were having fun while walking and eating.
After nearly a year of life in Bianliang, Ma Dazhuang is no longer as good as when he first came to Bianliang, and he didn't eat enough... Although he still eats food, he has become much more refined. He has almost eaten all kinds of delicious food and snacks in Bianliang. I am afraid that old Bianliang cannot compare with Ma Dazhuang.
The afternoon sun is very warm, and in this mid-winter season, it makes people feel a little lazy.
The three of them sat down at a stall at the bridge head of Zhouqiao. Each one had a bowl of pork lung soup, accompanied by the snacks in their hands, and were leisurely and comfortable.
Wu Song couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for the yanee, I wouldn't know that this day would be so happy."
Speaking of which, Wu Song is also considered to be a middle-aged family.
Although his family is not considered a wealthy person, he also has a small family property... but he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and later went to Shaolin Temple to live a hard life. Later, he followed Gao Yu and became more relaxed. He was free and comfortable in Hangzhou for a while, but now he comes to Bianliang, and he doesn't have to work hard for three meals.
As people say, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Wu Song was spoiled by Gao Yu, and he was also generous and was the kind of person who spent a penny for a penny. If he really wanted him to go back to the past and live a hard life, it would be very difficult.
"Second brother, now we are back in Bianliang, what are your plans?"
"Intend?"
Wu Song thought for a while and said with a smile: "I have no plans, I just depend on the arrangements of the yamen."
"If my second brother wants to join the imperial guards, I will greet my father and it will be no difficult thing to do. If my second brother doesn't want to join the army, I can also think of other ways, just look at what you want to do."
Join the army?
Wu Song thought about it and shook his head to deny it.
His crazy nature may not be able to withstand the constraints of the army.
However, apart from this skill of boxing and kicking, he seemed to have no other specialties. By the way, he could recite Buddhist scriptures, but he could never go to the temple to become a monk? For a moment, Wu Song was also confused.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "But it's up to the yamen arrangement."
"If my second brother can trust me, why not stay with me.
After a while, I might have to work in the yamen. I will feel at ease if my second brother is here.”
"Well, that's fine."
Ma Dazhuang said on the side, "Yanei, I want to do things too."
"What does Brother Dazhuang want to do?"
Ma Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know either, I just have nothing to do all day long, it's very uncomfortable.
After the Yanei left, a master told me that I could get through it.
But when Master went to Mount Wutai, he had been so idle that he was really uncomfortable in the past two months."
"Hahaha, Brother Dazhuang, don't worry, I will definitely find something for you to do at that time."
To be continued...
