When Wang Zhizhen, who was wearing the costumes of Wei Qianhu in brocade, and Gao Wuben stood in front of Gao Pragmatic and accepted his separate summons, Gao Pragmatic could see at a glance that the two brothers were not very happy.

Wang Zhizhen is still neatly dressed, but Gao Wuben's blue-green brocade suit (not wearing a flying fish suit at all times like in film and television dramas) is a little wrinkled at first glance, and even Gao Shicheng seems to smell an unspeakable smell on his body, which makes him subconsciously frown slightly.

"Fourth brother, junior brother invited you from the thatched house in the middle of the night?" After all, it was his cousin, Gao pragmatically smiled and joked.

"Seek the truth, don't laugh at the foolish brother, the foolish brother is now the smell of the body, and he can't wash it off." Gao Wuben sighed and said with a wry smile: "Your noble person is busy, I'm afraid I don't know about the foolish brother's errand in Jinyiwei." ”

Gao Pragmatic really doesn't know very well, let alone Gao Wuben's affairs, even if it is his own brother, who has now passed on Gao Gong and came to Beijing to be an official in Shangbaosi, he rarely has the opportunity to meet him.

He invited the Gao brothers and nephews (Gao Wuzi's son) in Beijing to live in his mansion in Beijing, but several people were unwilling - because the Gao family had already divided their generation in Gao Gong, so they were not brothers in the same room, even if it was Gao Wuguan, since it was passed to Gao Gong, he was a child of the third room, so now Gao Wuguan lives in Gao Gong's previous house, and Gao Wuben lives in Beijing by himself.

But the strange thing about Gao is that now the Gao family has him to take out the money as a family subsidy, Gao Wuben can get at least 100 taels a month, plus his family is very capable of giving birth, there are already four children in the family, and each child can also receive 30 taels - this will definitely not be spent, so no matter how his family looks at it, he will not be short of money.

So what kind of errand did he do to make the smell on his body not wash off?

"It's the little brother who was negligent...... What is the function of the fourth brother in Jinyiwei? ”

Gao Wuben sighed: "Elephant Taming Institute." ”

Belch...... Gao Shishi coughed dryly, and said in his heart: If you are a little smarter, you will not be involved in such an errand, the dignified and upright official was actually sent to raise elephants?

Gao Pragmatic looked slightly embarrassed, and at this time, Gao Wuben also added a sentence: "By the way, since the last time you sought the truth, you 'favored Annan', the Annan Metropolitan Envoy sent more than 20 elephants, and recently, the foolish brother has been busy with this stubble...... You've got a big job for your foolish brother. ”

Gao pragmatic couldn't cry or laugh.

In the Ming Dynasty, elephants were indispensable animals in various ceremonies, and often appeared in some large-scale events of the imperial court. But elephants eat so much and are huge, it becomes a hassle to raise them.

In later generations, party members in danger will go first; In Daming, there is dirty work brocade clothes first. So Jinyiwei resolutely undertook the task of raising elephants and set up an "elephant training institute" institution, which is responsible for raising elephants in Beijing, and the scale is not small.

For example, during the ceremony, a maximum of 31 elephants are used. According to Gao Shishi's understanding, there are at least sixty or seventy elephants raised by Jinyiwei, and if you count the more than 20 elephants offered by Annan this time, it is estimated that there are hundreds.

What else can a breeder in this era smell like? Gao Wuben's words don't seem to be a joke.

Gao Pragmatic sighed and said, "This errand was arranged for you by Liu Shouyou?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Gao Wu was a little worried that Gao Pragmatic would find trouble with Liu Shouyou, and hurriedly said: "Liu Gong is also afraid that I was born in the Xinzheng Gao family, but I can't do things honestly, so I broke my family's reputation, so I ......."

"So you want to raise elephants?" Gao Pragmatic snorted and said: "I'll go and tell the Governor of the Huang Factory about this later, Jinyiwei doesn't have a big handsome (Du Governor) now, and the transfer of a thousand households, presumably the Governor of the Huang Factory can still be counted." ”

Of course, the arithmetic is the arithmetic, the East Factory has long been transformed from the supervision of Jinyiwei to the leader of Jinyiwei, the dignified Dongchang factory supervisor opened his mouth, not to mention a thousand households, even if the commander can be changed, I am afraid that the emperor needs to ask about it.

Gao Wuben actually felt that something was wrong, but Gao Shishi was the actual person of the Gao family now, since he said so, Gao Wuben didn't dare to refute it, opened his mouth and closed it, and swallowed the words back.

Gao Pragmatic didn't say anything about changing him for an errand, but turned his head to look at Wang Zhizhen.

Wang Zhizhen is much more clever than Gao Wuben, and when he saw Gao Shiji's talk and laughter, he solved the problem of Gao Wuben's position in one sentence, and his heart was hot, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Don't work hard to ask the true virtuous brother, the foolish brother is on duty at noon." ”

Oh, it turned out to be the Great Han General. Simply put, it's a trusted ...... Pattern goods.

However, the goods are like goods, and the treatment of General Dahan is still good, plus he is at the level of a thousand households, so he should not be the kind of ordinary standing guard.

So Gao Shishi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is my brother still satisfied with this errand?" ”

Wang Zhizhen hurriedly began to complain, saying, "Scared! What are you satisfied with, standing on a stake like a fool all day long, although the foolish brother is a thousand households, he can take advantage of the patrol to walk around, but day after day, year after year, either the wind and the sun or the snow and rain, what is the official, it is almost the same to go to prison, even if he is occasionally in charge of the court staff, but now the court staff is less beaten, and it is not interesting. ”

Gao pragmatically said: This guy can't study, I'm afraid it's also because he doesn't have a qualitative character, Wang Qian didn't know how to teach his son back then, isn't it the first child who has no experience? However, in Jinyiwei, people like him may still be a little more popular, and they are better than my honest fourth brother.

"So, what do you like to be sent by my brother?" Gao asked with a smile.

Wang Zhizhen was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Fool is not a picky eater, the two pacification divisions in the north and south, any one of them is fine." ”

It turns out that although Jinyiwei is famous for the two major towns in the north and south, Jinyiwei is in charge of a wide range, in addition to Gao Wuben, who raised elephants just now, there are even jobs such as "repairing streets and dredging ditches" in Beijing, which is simply a garbage can, and you have to carry it on any errand, and a Han general like Wang Zhizhen is already quite decent.

It is...... It's a little boring.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Zhizhen opened his mouth, he asked for the dispatch of the two major Zhenfu Divisions, because the two major Zhenfu Divisions had more real power at hand. Among them, the Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for investigating criminal cases and often cooperates with Dongchang to "fight incidents", while the Beizhen Fusi has its own prison for the cases approved by the emperor, that is, the world-shaking edict, which can be arrested, tortured, and executed on its own without going through ordinary judicial institutions.

For Wang Zhizhen, the former is usually majestic, and the latter is that once there is a big case, even if the old ministers have to give them face, it is also majestic, which is quite cool.

Gao Shishi listened, immediately understood what he meant, nodded, and said, "Okay, what the elder brother meant, the younger brother understands...... The two of you go down to rest for a while, and the younger brother will talk to the Governor of Huangchang first. ”

"Yes, yes, you're busy, you're busy."

"Thank you for being honest."

Thank you for the monthly pass support of "Xuanyouming", "HAMW05", "Joshua", and "soviet2003", thank you!

I read the comments on yesterday's two chapters, and when I reflect on it, it seems that whenever the rationality of the plot in the book is questioned, I will put a lot of historical materials out, and then add analysis to prove that my plot arrangement is reasonable. It seems that he is still not calm enough, and he wants to learn from Gao Shi Middle School. But then again, it's not all nonsense to say a few more words about the Yin Guan, it will be useful in the future, and it can be regarded as avoiding other doubts in advance. It's like I wrote a lot of business at the beginning of the book, and I was scolded for being a mess at the time, but now that I look back, I should still write it.
