Chapter 375 Gao Guizhang can take on this important task...(1st update)
"Brother Guizhang, why do you have time to come to Xunsha's house today?"
Tong Zhisheng looked at Gao Zhang in front of him with confusion, and he really didn't understand that this guy would come to him for a walk at this time.
Gao Zhang laughed and followed Tong Zhisheng towards the depths of Tong's mansion while asking curiously.
"Brother Zhisheng, of course there is something good going on. By the way, my junior brother didn't come to show off to you?"
Hearing this, Tong Zhisheng grinned happily.
"What can that kid show off to Sajia? Show that he is fatter than Sajia?"
These words made Gao Zhang almost burst into laughter and raised his thumb towards Tong Zhisheng.
As soon as the two sat down, Gao Zhang explained his intention straight to the point.
"Brother Zhisheng had always hoped to have the opportunity to travel outside Bianliang, Tokyo, and have a career, but now he has a good opportunity..."
"And it's also an opportunity for us brothers to travel together."
Gao Zhang lowered his voice and informed Tong Zhisheng about the official's intention to set up a shipping department in Hangzhou.
"Brother Zhi Sheng must not know that Prime Minister Cai went to the officialdom specifically for the sake of my junior brother. I think he can't escape the position of deputy envoy."
"...Brother Zhisheng and I are brothers and sisters. Such a good thing makes me naturally hope to advance and retreat together with brother Zhisheng, so I came here to ask if brother Zhisheng is interested."
Tong Zhisheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. Whether he is an official or not is secondary. The important point is that he can also travel outside Bianliang, Tokyo.
Gao Zhang saw that Tong Zhisheng's interest had been aroused, so he naturally stopped staying any longer. After all, he had to go home to report the good news to his parents.
Tong Zhisheng also rushed to find his stepfather Tong Guan immediately.
Facing this stepson whom he valued very much, he heard that Gao Zhang and Cai Laoliu were going to Hangzhou to make contributions.
Tong Guan was also moved in his heart, Hangzhou was his old base, and he started to make his fortune when he was the chief officer of Hangzhou Jinming Bureau.
Now the stepson wants to go there for a stroll, and he happens to still have connections there, such as Zhu Chong, Zhu Meng and his son.
What's important is that he knows very well that his stepson is where he is today because of Gao Zhang's credit.
This time, even Cai Jingdu arranged for the sixth son of his family to join the team. Of course, he could not fall behind others.
After Tong Guan comforted Tong Zhisheng, he went straight to the palace to meet the saint.

Official Zhao Ji watched the joyful Tong Guan stride away and couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.
He pointed in the direction of Tong Guan's message and said to Yang Jianle, who was as quiet as a chicken beside him.
"Both Cai Aiqing and Tong Guan must have tasted the sweetness."
"What the officials said is true, and the servants also think it is true. That's why Prime Minister Cai and Tong Jiedushi came to the officials to ask for help, hoping that their nephew could continue to follow the No. 1 Duke.
As long as something is successful, they will eventually have their share of the credit."
"Yes, but that's fine. Both Cai Qing and Tong Qing have worked in Hangzhou, so they must have some connections. With these two nephews by Xiao Gao's side, I can feel more at ease."
After hearing the words of the official Zhao Ji, Yang Jian could only express his sincere expression that the official was wise and powerful.

During the court meeting early the next morning, all the ministers entered the Chui Gong Hall.
When the official Zhao Ji entered the Chui Gong Hall from the back door, all the officials noticed something unusual about the official's attire today.
That was the Emperor of the Song Dynasty who loved literature but disliked martial arts. Today, he had a rare Xia sword on his waist.
At this time, all the officials and officials were directly punished by the official Zhao Ji.
No urgent military information was received from the border areas of the Song Dynasty, and no major disasters or civil unrest occurred anywhere in the country.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Ji, an official, came with a sword in his hand, hoping to cause some trouble.
But the official Zhao Ji didn't explain at all, but fortunately, when he arrived in front of the imperial case, he took off his sword and handed it to Yang Jian to hold it up, and then he sat down calmly.
Cai Jing, the chief official of the Song Dynasty, was sure that the official Zhao Ji did not take the initiative to explain his strange behavior today.
Then he cleared his throat and stood up, expressing his opinion to the officials of the Song Dynasty after the consensus of many ministers and workers.
Most of the ministers and workers recognized that Hangzhou did have the conditions to establish a municipal shipping department, so they asked the official to make a decision.
Official Zhao Ji looked with satisfaction at the ministers and servants in the court who, even if they were dissatisfied, could only shut up and reserve their opinions at this moment.
Look, this is the efficiency of doing things. Cai Aiqing is indeed his best minister.
If it weren't for him, wouldn't something like this cause me headaches and fever, and I wouldn't have time to play chess, calligraphy, painting, and practice cultivation.
The officials nodded, indicating their approval of the handling of the matter, and Cai Jing once again commented that he believed that the officials who presided over the establishment of the Hangzhou Shipping Department
You must be young and promising, highly enterprising, able to work efficiently, and have convincing achievements.
Listening to the words of the Great Song Dynasty Prime Minister, almost everyone's expressions became strange.
He frequently looked at Song Zhizai, who had no expression on his face.
Young and promising, full of enterprising spirit... Could it be that he is planning to use the sixth son of his family to achieve meritorious deeds so that he can get promoted and make a fortune later on?
Could it be that he was recommending Gao Zhang, the only son of Captain Gao?
Just as this thought flashed through everyone's minds, they heard Cai Jing say.
"I believe that only Longtuge is waiting to be established, and Gao Guizhang, the deputy capital of the Privy Council, can take on this important task..."
#####
As soon as this statement came out, many ministers and ministers were in an uproar. Gao Qiu and Cai Jing did not dare to say that they were enemies, but the relationship between civil servants and military officials must not be good. This is common sense and even more common practice.
But now, Cai Jing has taken the initiative to recommend Lieutenant Gao's own son, which is really incredible.
At any rate, if you recommend your Qilinzi, everyone won’t be so surprised.
As for Gao Qiu, he didn't look surprised when he heard Cai Jing's recommendation.
Gao Zhang, who was only twelve years old and already wearing a purple robe and a goldfish bag, stepped up to the imperial case and bowed respectfully to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Behind him were naturally the fat-headed and big-eared Cai Laoliu who was wearing a scarlet robe, and the tall and burly Tong Zhisheng who looked like a bear.
Official Zhao Ji glanced at Xiao Gao, who was standing in front of him, with beautiful features, red lips and white teeth, and then looked at the short and fat Cai Laoliu and the tall Tong Zhisheng who were standing not far behind him.
Well, as one of the top art masters of this era, Zhao Ji feels that his beloved disciple is the most pleasing to the eye. His handsome appearance is pleasing to the eye and his words are pleasant to listen to.
Official Zhao Ji cleared his throat and began to ask Xiao Gao Aiqing in a pleasant manner if he was willing to take on the important task of governor of the two Zhejiang roads.
