Chapter 971 Gu Xiao's Thoughts
"It should be no death." Fan Jian whispered.
A few thunder sounds came from the night after dinner, and the spring thunder sounded Wu Mei and Gao Yang coaxed Gu Ling, who was frightened by the thunder. Gu Xue walked outside the yard and looked at Gu Qing still in the yard and said, "It's going to rain for my father."
Gu Qing nodded slightly, "That little devil Gu Xiao hasn't come home yet."
"My brother has always come back late recently. He doesn't know where he is doing business." Gu Xue whispered.
After saying that, Gu Xiao rushed back home in the rain and just landed, the rain fell. As soon as he entered the house, he asked, "Do you still have food at home? I'm starving to death."
Fan Jian brought the freshly hot food to the table, and Gu Xiao ate it voraciously.
"Is the business okay?" Gu Qing whispered at the boy.
"It's OK." Gu Xiao said: "I can return the money to the money house in advance this month."
"Yes." Gu Qing nodded without saying much. He returned to his study and continued to write what he wanted to write. Li Xiang has become a regular visitor in the study and often read books here. Fan Jian simply added a table in the study.
It rained all night, and the weather was clear the next day. Gu Xiao got up early and took Li Xiang out.
"Isn't the academy not going to start classes today?" Gu Xue followed Sun Simiao to collect herbs and watched Gu Xiao and Li Xiang go out early and wonder.
Gu Xiao came to the academy. The business of sending letters is progressing well now and has started to prepare for delivery. The problem of manpower is also prominent. There is no enough manpower. Gu Xiao thought to ask Zhang Yugong to help again. Since Yang Sheng said about who Zhang Yugong was carrying, these people were still a little scared in their work.
"The person is here." Zhang Jiuling came with the former blind flower in Xishi.
When I saw Gu Xiaoxiao Huazi again, I saluted respectfully and said, "The villain has seen the young master."
"Yes." Gu Xiao nodded slightly, "I heard you want to follow me."
"Yes." The blind Hanako continued: "The villain has always been a gangster, but he can't stay in Xishi for the rest of his life. He just wanted to find a way out and make some achievements."
"How many people do you have in your hands?" Gu Xiao continued.
"There are only more than thirty who can be used, and they are all trustworthy brothers." said the blind Huazi.
"Very good, follow me." Gu Xiao led everyone out of the village and came to a river outside the border of Chang'an. This river was a tributary of the Luoshui River. It had just rained heavily last night and the river was a little turbid.
The blind flower boy didn't know why Gu Xiao came here, but he knew that the young master was in the letter delivery business. He quietly glanced at the hero standing beside the young master. This man was obviously from the army and had a murderous aura on his body.
Looking at the river, Gu Xiao whispered: "Our business is actually not big. There are no people sending it to the counties and prefectures west of Luoshui River, but there are still many businesses there."
"The villain is willing to share the worries of the young master." The blind flower boy said immediately.
Gu Xiao sneered at the blind flower, "You don't have to worry about rushing to do your job, I can't believe you."
"That's natural." said the blind Huazi with a wry smile.
"I will give you some work to you. The salary you give to your subordinates is half less than my own? Are you willing to only have thirty stags per month? Of course, I don't care how much you are willing to give to your own subordinates." Gu Xiao said.
"I'm willing." said the blind Huazi immediately.
Gu Xiao looked at the river and said, "How deep do you think this river is?"
"It shouldn't be deep, and the river channel is not very wide." Zhang Jiuling said standing aside.
While speaking, I heard the sound of going into the water. The blind flower jumped into the river and swam to the center of the river. Then he shouted to Gu Xiao: "Young Master, the water is not deep in my neck."
"I understand, come up!" Gu Xiao said.
The blind flower boy was very embarrassed when he was swimming ashore. His whole body was wet and swung in the cold wind, and his legs were covered in mud.
Looking at his appearance, Gu Xiao smiled and said, "I will hand over all the business west of this river to you in the future. I am joking about half of the front, I will give you 70% of the business."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, young master." After hearing this, the blind Huazi bowed and bowed repeatedly.
Gu Xiao handed him a bunch of money and said, "Change clothes quickly, go eat some good drinks and drinks, don't catch a cold."
"Thank you, young master." The blind Huazi saluted again.
Gu Xiao took Zhang Yugong and Zhang Jiuling to leave. Zhang Jiuling asked Gu Xiao, "Can you trust him?"
"I don't believe him very much, but I really want to follow me in terms of what this person does. Let's see how he does it, give him some important work, and re-arrange it after a while. Now we also need staff in urgent need."
"That's right." Zhang Jiuling nodded and hesitated for a while and said, "But I think this guy must not just want to be a gangster in his heart. After seeing you, he found that his chance has come. Even if he offended you before, he still wants to do it in your hands."
Zhang Yugong whispered: "People like him will not want him to join the army, nor can they be officials. They can only be an idle gangster. Such people can make some names in the west market and show that his subordinates must have a group of people who follow him. People like them also care about reputation. They value the morality between the rangers. You can believe it, but don't use it. Such people will not always be inferior to others."
"I know, I will look for some people." Gu Xiao said along the way: "After the Western Expedition, I will talk to General Xue Rengui. After the Western Expedition, there must be many soldiers who have left the battlefield and cannot find anything to do. I want as many of these people as I want."
"Indeed, the best people in the army are." Zhang Yugong also nodded.
Back at the academy, Gu Xiao looked at Fang Chengxian hanging some books.
Seeing Gu Xiao and Zhang Jiuling come back, Fang Chengxian greeted: "You guys finish it so soon?"
"It's just a few words." Gu Xiao helped Fang Chengxian dry the books, "Why did you suddenly remember the books?"
"Books are precious. While classes are not started today, the sun is also very beautiful. These books are something that students don't read very much on weekdays. Most of them are ancient books. They think that if they are left for a long time, they will become tide. There will be a lot of rain in spring to summer, and many places in the academy must be cleaned properly to avoid mold."
Gu Xiao looked up at the building of the academy. Fang Yizhi and Li Tai were leisurely silencing the sun. Fang Chengxian was already sweating profusely and wanted to feel unfair.
"Brother Fang, Gu Xiao, I'm going to say goodbye." Zhang Jiuling said.
"You are leaving so soon? Are you not taking the imperial examination?" Fang Chengxian said in surprise.
