When Wang Zhizhen and Gao Wuben, dressed in Jinyiwei Qianhu costumes, stood in front of Gao Pingshi and accepted his individual summons, Gao Pingshi could tell at a glance that the two brothers were not doing well.
Wang Zhizhen is still neatly dressed, but Gao Wuben's green brocade suit (not the flying fish suit he wears all the time like in the movies and TV series) is a little wrinkled at first glance, and Gao Wuxing even seems to smell it on him
There was an unspeakable smell that made him frown slightly subconsciously.
"Fourth brother, did I invite you from the hut in the middle of the night?" After all, he was his cousin, Gao pragmatically smiled and joked.
"To be honest, please stop laughing at Brother Yu. Brother Yu has this smell on his body now and can't even wash it off." Gao Wuben sighed and said with a wry smile: "You are busy, so I'm afraid you don't know about Brother Yu's errands in Jinyiwei.
"
Gao Jingshi really didn't know much about it. Let alone Gao Wuben, even his younger brother Gao Wuguan, who was adopted by Gao Gong and came to Beijing to serve as an official in Shangbaosi, he rarely had the opportunity to meet.
.
He did invite the Gao family brothers and nephew (the son of Gao Wuzi) who were in Beijing to live in his residence in the middle of Beijing, but few of them were willing - because the Gao family had already separated in Gao Gong's generation, so
They are not brothers living in the same house. Even Gao Wuguan, since he was adopted to Gao Gong, is the child of the third bedroom. So now Gao Wuguan lives in Gao Gong's former house, and Gao Wuben lives alone in Beijing.
The household lives by itself.
But the strange thing about Gao Wuben is that now the Gao family uses money from him as a family subsidy. Gao Wuben can get at least a hundred taels every month. In addition, his family is very fertile, and they already have four children.
, each child can also receive thirty taels - this will definitely not be spent all, so his family will not be short of money no matter what.
So what kind of errand did he do to make it impossible to wash off the odor on his body?
"My younger brother was negligent... What is the fourth brother's role in Jinyiwei?"
Gao Wuben sighed: "Elephant Taming Center."
Uh... Gao Jingshi coughed dryly and thought to himself: If you were smarter, you wouldn't end up in such an errand. How could a dignified and upright Yin Guan be sent to raise elephants?
Gao pragmatism seemed a little embarrassed, but at this time Gao Wuben also added: "By the way, since the last time you asked for truth, you've sided with troops to determine Annan, Annan's Commander-in-Chief has sent more than 20 elephants."
, Brother Yu has been busy these days... You have found a big job for Brother Yu."
Gao Pragmatic couldn't laugh or cry.
It is no joke that Jinyiwei keeps elephants. In the Ming Dynasty, elephants were indispensable animals in various ceremonies and often appeared in some large-scale events of the court to "show spectacular views". However, elephants eat so much and their body size is also small.
It's so big that raising it is a troublesome thing.
In later generations, Party members who were in danger came first; in Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei went first to do the dirty work. So Jinyiwei resolutely took on the task of raising elephants and established an "elephant training institute" institution specifically responsible for raising elephants in the capital, and its scale
Not small.
For example, during large sacrifices, up to thirty-one elephants are used. According to Gao Pangshi's understanding, Jinyiwei usually raises at least sixty or seventy elephants. If we include the more than 20 elephants donated by Annan this time, it is estimated that
Hundreds of them.
How can a breeder in this era smell good? It seems that Gao Wuben’s words were not a joke.
Gao pragmatic sighed and said, "Did Liu Shouyou arrange this errand for you?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Wuben was a little worried that Gao Jingshi would cause trouble for Liu Shou, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu is also afraid that although I am from the Gao family in Xinzheng, I will not be able to work honestly and my family reputation will be ruined, so..."
"So you are asked to raise elephants?" Gao pragmatic snorted and said, "I will go and tell Governor Huang Factory about this later. Jinyiwei does not have a commander (governor) now. If a thousand households are transferred, Huang Factory must be
The governor can still keep his word."
Of course, it counts. Dongchang has long since transformed from supervising the Jinyiwei to leading the Jinyiwei. The dignified Dongchang factory director said, let alone a mere thousand households, even the commander can be replaced. I am afraid that only the commander is needed.
The emperor asks.
Gao Wuben actually felt that something was wrong, but Gao Jingshi was the actual person in charge of the Gao family. Since he said this, Gao Wuben did not dare to refute. He opened his mouth and closed it again, swallowing the words.
Gao Pingshi didn't explicitly tell him what job to change, but turned to look at Wang Zhizhen.
Wang Zhizhen was much smarter than Gao Wuben. As soon as he saw Gao Pragmatic talking and laughing, he solved Gao Wuben's job problem with just one sentence. His heart was filled with fire. He quickly bowed and said: "I don't need to work hard to ask for the true and virtuous brother. Ask, stupid brother is on duty at noon."
Door."
Oh, it turned out to be General Han. To put it simply, he was a highly trusted... looking guy.
However, what he looks like is what he looks like, General Han's treatment is still good, plus he is at the Qianhu level, so he should not be an ordinary guard.
So Gao pragmatic hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Brother, are you satisfied with this job?"
Wang Zhizhen quickly began to complain, saying: "Scare! What are you satisfied with? Standing around like a fool all day long. Although Brother Yu is a thousand households after all, he can take advantage of the inspection to move around, but this day after day, year after year
, either exposed to wind and sun or snow and rain, what's the point of being an official? It's not much more than being in jail. Even if you are responsible for the imperial staff occasionally, the imperial staff is rarely beaten now, so it's not interesting."
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: This guy can't study well, I'm afraid it's because he has no certainty. Wang Qian didn't know how to teach his son back then. Could it be that the first child was inexperienced? However, in Jinyiwei, people like him might be more popular.
, it’s easier to get along than my honest fourth brother.
"So, what kind of job does brother prefer?" Gao pragmatically asked with a smile.
Wang Zhizhen was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Brother Yu is not picky about food, any of the two Zhenfu divisions in the north and south will do."
It turns out that although Jinyiwei is famous throughout the world for the two major towns and cities in the north and the south, Jinyiwei has a wide range of responsibilities. In addition to Gao Wuben who raised elephants just now, he even has jobs such as "repairing streets and clearing ditches" in the capital. It is simply
He had to carry a trash can for all his errands. A Han general like Wang Zhizhen was already quite honorable.
It's just...a bit boring.
Therefore, Wang Zhizhen wanted to be dispatched by the two major town and Fu divisions as soon as he opened his mouth. This is because the two major town and Fu Divisions have more real power. Among them, the South Town Fu Division is responsible for criminal investigation and often cooperates with the Dongchang "fighting incidents", while the North Town Fu division is responsible for criminal investigation.
He had his own prison to handle cases designated by the emperor, the world-famous Imperial Prison, where he could arrest, torture, and execute on his own without going through the general judicial institutions.
For Wang Zhizhen, the former is usually very majestic, and the latter is very satisfying when there is a big case, even if senior ministers have to give them face, they are very majestic.
After hearing this, Gao pragmatic understood what he meant immediately, nodded, and said: "Okay, brother, I understand what I mean... You two go down and rest for a while, I will talk to Factory Supervisor Huang first."
"Yes, you are busy, you are busy."
"Thank you for asking for the truth."

Thanks to book friends "Xuan Youming", "HAMW05", "Joshua", and "soviet2003" for their monthly support, thank you!
I read the comments on yesterday's two chapters, and after reflection, it seems that whenever the rationality of the plot in the book is questioned, I will present a lot of historical data, and then add analysis to prove that my plot arrangement is reasonable. It seems that
Still not calm enough, I have to learn from Gao Shizhong. But having said that, saying a few more words about Yin Guan is not all nonsense. It will be useful later, and it can avoid other doubts in advance. Just like I wrote at the beginning of the book
I have done a lot of business work, and I was scolded at the time. Looking back now, I think I should have written it.
