Chapter 121 Chief Distinguished Consultant
Of course, Gao Shishi is concerned about the situation in Siam, and the conversation he had with Gao Shiqin just now was only to test his younger brother, in fact, the development of the situation in Siam has always been under his close attention - the main part is from the Jinghua Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the other part is from Huang Zhiting's letters and reports from Ruan Huang and others.
But compared to the situation in Siam, he is actually more concerned about Huang Zhiting's physical condition. Although Huang Zhiting has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has performed well in all aspects of her body, pregnancy is sometimes not absolutely related to the quality of her health.
Before the high pragmatic crossing, the performance of many female comrades in the unit during pregnancy was very different, some people were usually in good health, but the reaction during pregnancy was very violent; Some people are not in good health, but they have almost no pregnancy reactions. Among them, there are pregnancy reactions, and the degree of reaction also varies greatly, some only occasionally feel nauseous, and some vomit so much that people suspect that she will vomit all the bitter gall.
What made Gao pragmatic breathe a little relieved at the moment was probably that Huang Zhiting's reaction didn't seem to be big, and she didn't even show signs of morning sickness in public, but she just became very lethargic.
According to Gao Shishi's understanding of the year, maternal sleepiness should be a very common early pregnancy reaction, but this phenomenon is different due to the different physique, living habits and eating habits of each expectant mother, so the severity of the drowsiness reaction is not the same. According to the current situation, Huang Zhiting's drowsiness should still be within the normal range.
However, Gao pragmatic still did not dare to be careless, and at the same time as he wrote to inquire about the situation in Siam for the first time, he asked Huang Zhiting if he could take time back to Beijing to raise a baby, but Huang Zhiting politely refused - the reason was that she believed that now was the critical moment to take advantage of the great victory to fully consolidate Jinghua's position in the Kingdom of Siam, and she had already determined a package plan to purge the opposition, so she could not leave Siam at this moment.
Not only could she not leave, but she even hoped that Gao Shishi would send her one or two right-hand men to control some important powers in Siam - the Jinghua Group advisory group that overwhelmed the Siamese royal family in the treaty was still being formed, and she needed manpower.
When Gao Pragmatic read the letter and saw this, his first reaction was that he needed to find a Cen Ling-style figure to be responsible for extinguishing some sparks, but Huang Zhiting recommended one himself in the later letter, but this candidate made Gao Pragmatic quite stunned.
Huang Zhiting recommended Liu Xin.
This makes Gao pragmatic a little incomprehensible.
Liu Xin's ability seems to be no problem at present, which can be determined from her rapid elimination of the two rebel armies in the south and east of Siam, but ...... Zhiting seemed to have the intention of treating her as a rival in love before, why did she suddenly change so much? Could there be something in this that you don't know yet?
However, after Gao Shishi carefully looked at Huang Zhiting's reasons for recommendation, he also agreed with her statement. She believes that Liu Xin is "well-informed and insightful", and "familiar with the ranks and has no worries", so she must be the best candidate.
Use Liu Xin as the second Cen Ling? Gao felt that he had a strong sense of unreality, because according to his understanding, he actually thought that Liu Xin was more suitable to be a mining development consultant......
The objective fact that he is also a traverser makes Gao pragmatic's attitude towards Liu Xin very special. To a certain extent, he regards Liu Xin as a confidant who doesn't communicate often, and may be regarded as the kind of "god friend" who doesn't need to be face-to-face, so he is also very tolerant of Liu Xin and will not force her to do anything.
But Huang Zhiting's recommendation can't be unilaterally and directly talked to herself, before recommending to herself, she must have had an in-depth communication with Liu Xin, and Liu Xin herself must have agreed with her recommendation.
It's a bit of a head-scratcher.
Cen Ling's errand is not a good errand on the whole, otherwise he would not have been dubbed "King Cen Yan" by the Annan people. If Liu Xin also took on this kind of errand, at least in the minds of contemporary Siamese people, the image must be extremely vicious, and given that she is a woman, perhaps some verbal curses will be even more vicious.
Verbal curses, Gao Pragmatic neither believes nor cares, Liu Xin is from the Red Dynasty like him, and probably won't believe it, but if you want to say "don't care", it may not be.
The reason why Gao Pragmatic can not care is because he was a grassroots cadre in his previous life. Grassroots cadres have a characteristic, that is, when things are done well, the common people feel that it is what you should do, and if something goes wrong, or if you don't think it so thoroughly, it goes without saying that all kinds of scolding will come like a tide.
So Gao pragmatic doesn't care, in fact, he is just used to being scolded.
However, Liu Xin had just graduated before the crossing, and she was still in the internship, Gao Pragmatic estimated that she should not have the psychological quality of her own, and she might be very angry at the Siamese folk abuse and curses at that time.
This is something that Gao Pragmatism does not want.
However, why did Liu Xin agree? Did she not think of this, or was there some other reason?
All this, Gao Pragmatic still has no way of knowing, but he noticed one of the reasons why Huang Zhiting recommended Liu Xin: he has no worries.
This sentence seems to have some intention...... Is this an implication that Liu Xin doesn't care what the Siamese people think of her?
Gao pragmatic quickly tapped the desktop with the fingers of his right hand in turns, and groaned.
To say that Liu Xin doesn't care about the opinions of others, especially Siamese people, Gao Pragmatic also believes this. No matter how long the traveler has been in this era, there will always be some subconscious in his heart that "I am different from you".
"I" is different from "you", so the most direct consequence of this subconscious is, of course, not caring about other people's opinions, at most just caring about the people around you.
At this point, even Gao Pragmatism himself cannot avoid it. Even though he usually seems to care about what others think of him, if you think about it, you will find that all he cares about is his own fame, because fame is "needed for reform" for him.
It can be seen that his so-called "caring about other people's opinions" is actually only concerned about whether his own ideals can be realized.
So, has the exchange between Huang Zhiting and Liu Xin gone deep to this level? What did they talk about?
Puzzled, Gao Pragmatic decided to do what Huang Zhiting wanted for the time being, took his own private seal for internal use in Jinghua, and personally drafted a letter of appointment, hiring Liu Xin as the chief special consultant of Jinghua Group's advisory group in the Kingdom of Siam.
There was a small blank piece on the employment letter to fill in the annual salary and other benefits - Gao Pragmatic planned to let Liu Xin fill it out by herself. He believes that Liu Xin's attitude towards himself is also the most special, and it is impossible to mess around.
Of course, it's useless to take 10,000 steps back and say that it's really messing around...... Who can control Jinghua in Siam now?
Huang Zhiting's request is easy to do, but Gao Shishi is still a little worried about her not being able to return to Beijing to give birth. Although it is common for people in power to not see their children born in these years, Gao Shishi is worried that the postpartum depression that may occur after her future childbirth will not be resolved, and secondly, she is particularly worried about the safety of childbirth in this era - whether it is for herself or the child in her womb.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy, so he simply lifted the side curtain of the green nyun sedan chair and said to a rider: "Send two people to Mr. Binhu and ask him to recommend a few excellent gynecology disciples, and say that I will send Siam to take care of Madame, and it would be better if it was a female disciple." ”
The family Ding hurriedly responded, and while arranging for someone to return to Xinzhai to inform Li Shizhen, he wondered in his heart: Since he is going to take care of his wife, he must be a female student of the medical department, how can he see that the old man means that he is actually a man?
Of course, he didn't know that there were male doctors in the obstetrics and gynecology department in later generations, and even when women gave birth, there were often male medical staff in the delivery room.
However, when the news came to Li Shizhen, Li Shizhen did not dare not consider Gao Pragmatic's mood, you must know that under normal circumstances in these years, it is not the doctor who is responsible for delivering the baby, but the midwife, the reason is that there is a difference between men and women, so he did not dare to pick male disciples to Siam, so as not to annoy Gao Pragmatic and bury his ideal of promoting medical skills - this is very simple, Jinghua will be finished regardless of the investment.
Therefore, since the first child of the owner is about to be born, Li Shizhen also had to cheer up, not only transferred four of his most recognized female disciples among the current students of the medical department, but also carefully examined the female disciples who have been sent to Jinghua Pharmacy in various places in recent years, and selected one person as the "team leader" to transfer back to Beijing, ready to go to Siam at any time at the behest of the owner.
Gao Shishi returned to Baiyulou on duty, and first gave Gao Shiqin a dust-washing banquet, and the brothers and relatives of the Gao family in Beijing basically came, and there were even a few juniors.
It can be seen from this dust-washing banquet that the Gao family is really "in power" in the sixth room now, including Gao Shishi's cousins, they dare not occupy the top seat of Gao Shishi, and they have to let him sit on the head.
However, the atmosphere of everyone at the banquet was not bad, especially when I heard that Gao Wuqin was in charge of the six towns of Annan, Gao Wuben, who was already in charge of the Fusi of Jinyi Weinan Town, made a rare joke, saying that Gao Wuqin was no worse than a soldier now, so he jokingly called him "Gao Observation".
Although Gao Wuqin's current level is also in the posture of a person, he also compliments Gao Wuben in turn, and has a "Gao Nansi", and the atmosphere of the whole banquet is harmonious.
Gao Pragmatic sighed with emotion, how could the Gao family in history have such a scene now? Gao Shishi, who was not crossed by himself, later had a dispute with his younger brother Gao Wuguan, and the two brothers fought for the 3,000 acres of land left by Gao Gong, which simply lost the face of the Gao family.
Fortunately, he has his own little wings in this life, and it seems that there will be no competition for family property. On the contrary, although Gao Wuguan was passed on to Gao Gong, Gao Gong also had that bit of belongings, so Gao Wuguan is now "losing" - after all, his eldest brother is now the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, and even his younger brother has been mixed almost equal to a soldier, but he is still only Shang Baosi Shaoqing, and he has no power.
Gao Pragmatic had the heart to ask Gao Wuguan if he was interested in "going to the sea to do business", but thinking about it, now didn't seem to be a good time, so he just did it first.
After the banquet ended, Gao Pragmatic returned to his bedroom with three points of wine, looking at the empty ultra-luxurious master bedroom, and suddenly felt a little lost.
The hostess had to leave after only a month here, which really made this large bedroom feel a little "heroes useless". No wonder Huang Zhiting said before he left that he would accept her dowry maid, and now it seems really prescient.
However, Gao Pragmatic quickly put aside this kind of thinking about taking advantage of the drunkenness, and forced himself to concentrate his attention and think about Siam, or more importantly, the next direction of southern Xinjiang.
Of the three Siamese rebels this time, the easternmost one was entrenched in Angkor.
Angkor is the location of the famous Angkor Wat, also known as Angkor Temple, later known as the national treasure of Cambodia, is the largest temple building in the world, and it is also the world's earliest Khmer-style building.
The original name of Angkor Wat was Vrah Vishnulok, which means "Temple of Vishnu", and the ancient Chinese Buddhist texts called it "Sangxiang Buddha House". It was built for the worship of Vishnu during the reign of Suryavarman II (r. 1113-1150) and took more than 30 years to complete.
This rebel army was caught off guard by Liu Xin in Angkor, and soon failed, but it was precisely because of the rapid defeat that many things were destroyed in time, so a batch of evidence of their collusion with the Cambodians fell into Liu Xin's hands.
Of course, Liu Xin handed over the evidence to Huang Zhiting, and Huang Zhiting wrote a letter to inform Gao Shixian, and the meaning was obvious: The Cambodian problem can be considered and solved, right?
Well...... It's time to think about it.
In today's Indochina Peninsula, except for the princely kingdoms of Malacca and Johor, which were occupied by the Portuguese in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, only Cambodia has not been brought under the actual control of Jinghua.
According to the highly pragmatic Nanyang strategy, as long as Cambodia is obtained next, it should be said that half of it is done.
But now, the Cambodians have taken the initiative to send the reason for interference, which is really a typical case of someone sending a pillow as soon as they doze off, and Gao Pragmatic simply wants to give them a thumbs up.
However, as for whether Cambodia should fight this issue now, Gao Pragmatic feels that it is better to be cautious. It's not that Cambodia alone can make him feel tricky, but he is a little worried that if he takes Cambodia now, it may be like Siam again, when everything seems to have settled, but in fact, under the snow cover is a volcano that is about to erupt.
Of course, this volcano may be available at any time, but it is better to get it when Siam is digested than to go now-although the garrison units are extremely powerful in southern Xinjiang, it is best not to fight continuously and high-intensity.
Come on, let's wait another year or two, anyway, it's still early, and there's no need to rush it.
