After thinking about it repeatedly, Longqing was reluctant to let his son worship Zhao Hao as a teacher. I just want him to get closer to Zhao Hao, get a little bit closer to Zhao Hao, open his eyes, and know that this world is not exactly as the scholars said, just that.

That's what he intends for at least a few years. As for the future, let's talk about it in the future......

So Longqing instructed Zhao Hao to enter the palace with Li Chengen's brothers and sisters more during his time in Beijing, take the prince to play more, and tell him more about science, so he changed the topic.

"Let's talk about it, what's wrong with Jiangnan, why is it like this?" Emperor Longqing sat cross-legged on the couch, and his face finally had some majesty that an emperor should have.

But also, the previous governor was seriously burned and wounded. As soon as the current governor came up, he violently attacked the former first assistant, raided Xu Ge's house, and arrested his family. Even the dignified elders have become wanted criminals at large.

In the past few months, there has been an uproar in the court, and the bullet stamps that were left by the emperor have been piled up into a small mountain. Let Hai Rui continue to work like this, and Longqing will not be able to withstand the pressure.

Zhao Hao once had a silver medal secret recital dedicated to this matter, but after all, the recital is limited in space, and many questions are not mentioned, so it is appropriate to ask in person.

Zhao Hao had expected that Longqing would inquire about this matter, so he told the emperor what he had seen and heard. Of course, the good things he did in it would not be mentioned. After all, doing good deeds without leaving a name is Zhao Gongzi's consistent style.

Long Qing knew that he and Liang Zi of the Xu family must have a tendency to speak, and he would secretly stumble in private. But he would never have thought that at such a young age, Zhao Hao would be able to become the leader of the Reverse Xu Alliance after only going to Jiangnan for less than a year. I thought he was just beating the side drum, and the fox was pretending to be a tiger.

So for Zhao Hao's words, I believed eight or nine points.

After listening to Zhao Hao's story, Long Qing's first reaction was disbelief, he opened his mouth wide and said: "Xu, Xu Ge is notoriously honest, and he has not seen him wear a new robe in the capital for twenty or thirty years. Why is the family so greedy? ”

"I don't know." Zhao Gongzi shook his head, and only stated without judgment: "I heard that Haigong has reported the accounts to the cabinet, and His Majesty should be able to see it soon." ”

"Well, it's okay not to look at it." Long Qing shook his head, and said with interest: "Back then, Yan Song's father and son were extremely greedy, and it was investigated and dealt with by Xu Gelao. He also ordered someone to publish a book of "Tianshui Iceberg Record" and publish it all over the world. Do you also want to compile a book for the Xu family, so that people in the world know that anti-corruption is more corrupt than corrupt officials? What good is this for the imperial court? ”

Zhao Hao hurriedly nodded yes, but he didn't think so, what's wrong with beating a few big tigers? If you don't hit the common people, you won't know? Doesn't this hide your ears and steal the bell?

However, he knew his identity, and even this position of eyes and ears was imposed by the emperor. It is not his turn to comment on these major state affairs.

In fact, Long Qing just expressed his feelings with him, and he didn't mean to discuss it in depth. took a sip of the teacup, and then turned the topic to shipping, and carefully asked him whether shipping is risky, what is the maximum volume, and what is the cost?

Zhao Hao came for this matter, and naturally boasted about the superiority of shipping. He told Emperor Longqing that there were constant currents at sea that allowed ships to travel effortlessly between Tianjin and Shanghai. Moreover, in this hurry, only the sand ships navigable on the Yangtze River were temporarily called, and if the sea ships were specially built, the transportation capacity could be greatly improved. It's no problem to transport as many ships as you want, it's just to build bigger and more ships.

As for the risk, as long as you avoid the typhoon season in the summer, no matter how strong the wind and waves are in the rest of the season, the ship will not capsize. As long as you set up a safe harbor on the shipping route, it is not much more dangerous than in the inland waterway.

In the end, there is the cost, loss and freight, at most only two achievements are enough. And this already takes into account the wear and tear of ships and the drifting of cargo.

However, Zhao Hao emphasized that this is the degree that Jiangnan Group can do, and it does not mean that the imperial court can also do it.

Long Qing naturally understood the meaning of these words, and after hearing the words for a long time, Fang Chang sighed and said: "Cao Yun one stone of rice, at least three stones for envy and freight, how many years has the imperial court cheated the people." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the burden of the people of Jiangnan and Huguang is too heavy, but the blood and sweat they paid with tears cannot reach the treasury." Zhao Hao also said with a solemn expression: "As a result, the court is poor and white, and the people are overwhelmed and fleeing, and they are all miserable. ”

There was still half a sentence he didn't say, but Long Qing naturally understood - all of them were cheapened by the corrupt officials in the middle.

"......" Longqing didn't want to continue this topic anymore, and the more he said it, the more he said it, the more powerless it became.

Seeing Long Qing's reaction, Zhao Hao sighed secretly, and understood that it was impossible to cross the hundred officials, and he was about to cut through the chaos.

Although he knew it was thinking about Peaches......

~~

After having dinner with the emperor in the palace, Ning An took the children back to Shiwangfu Street.

On the way, she told Zhao Hao that the Imperial Brotherhood issued a special decree ordering her to represent the palace and take full charge of the trafficking of rice from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing.

Zhao Hao's expression was shocked when he heard this, although the transportation was restored, or the grain supply in the capital was normal, that is, the procurement was stopped, but starting from scratch was the biggest victory. When shipping becomes normalized, many of the opposition's excuses will be self-defeating.

Ning An warmly invited Zhao Hao to live in the eldest princess's mansion, and the little county lord was also full of shyness and expectation. Only Li Chengen looked nervous, obviously not wanting to lure the wolf into the room.

Fortunately, there were still a bunch of people waiting for him at home, so Zhao Gongzi politely declined the invitation of his godmother, changed his carriage at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, and went back to his new house in Zhao's Hutong.

The last time he came to Beijing, he lived in his brother's house in Chunsong Hutong. He can't always occupy the magpie's nest, and besides, he has twice as many guards and a number of attachés. And as soon as he enters Beijing, the disciples will inevitably move in and live together, and it will be too crowded to live in the old brother's house.

So he informed his eldest brother a few years ago and looked for a spacious mansion. In this way, the old man lived with himself when he entered Beijing, and Zhao Xian also had a place to settle down after getting married.

Years later, Zhao Xian wrote back that the house had been found, and it was in the south of Chunsong Hutong, across the street from Zhaojia Hutong.

Zhao Gongzi said at first that the eldest brother is quite particular, and he has to bring his own surname to find a house.

Later, I learned from Tang Fatzi's letter that it turned out that the eldest brother bought the five sets of courtyard houses in the entire alley and connected the five courtyards into a mansion. So there is only one family in the whole alley, what is the name of the alley if it is not called the Zhao family?

Zhaojia Hutong is not far from Shiwangfu Street, and the carriage will arrive in a short time.

Gao Wu opened the curtain, Zhao Hao jumped out of the car, and looked at the five gates in the alley, all of which hung lanterns on the 'Zhao Mansion'. Outside the gate in the middle, there is a large photo wall and a horse stone, which is rich and magnificent.

He couldn't help but smile, and smiled at Zhao Xian, who came out: "Big brother is really good!" ”

"My brother laughed, I just have the ability to spend money, and I can't rely on your ability to make money?" After a year of training in Beijing, Zhao Xian has also matured and become cheerful. He stepped forward quickly and gave Zhao Hao a bear hug.

When Zhao Hao and Zhao Xian separated, they heard an affectionate call: "Childe, you are here, but you want to die Tang Fatty." ”

Before he could react, he was hugged by Tang Youde, who was blessed again. Tang Fatzi hugged him and cried, the hard days finally came to an end, and if he didn't appear, he would be completely reduced to an eighteen-line little dragon.

"You let me go first, or I'll send you to Java to ......" Zhao Hao struggled, not knowing where Tang Fat Man was so enthusiastic about himself.

It was easy for him to break free from the clutches of Tang Fatman, and he saw that Wang Wuyang had already pounced on him with tears on his face.

"Social distancing!" Zhao Gongzi flew up and kicked the eldest disciple back.

"I haven't listened to Master's teachings for three hundred and ten days, and my disciple is like a fish out of water, and I am about to lose my life." Wang Wuyang didn't care, he still wiped his tears with admiration on his face and said: "As soon as I saw the master, the disciple was like a fish in water again, and he came back to life!" ”

Wang Dingjue, Yu Shenxing, and Wang Xijue, who came to join in the fun, all had a chill, and they hadn't heard the senior brother pat for a long time, so they were inevitably a little unaccustomed to it.

When the disciples respectfully saluted Zhao Hao, Sun Dawu and Guo Da also hurriedly kowtowed to their masters. After the easy greetings, Zhao Gongzi entered the Zhao Mansion from the middle gate surrounded by everyone.

The house is brightly lit, the entrance is facing a brick shadow wall, there are seven inverted rooms in the south, and the north is the hanging flower door. Enter the second courtyard from the hanging flower gate, there are three main rooms with ear rooms and east and west wings, and the two sides of the wall also open another screen door, leading to the east and west courtyards.

Zhao Xian told Zhao Hao that there were big mansions in the capital, but they were all occupied by dignitaries. It's not something that you can buy right away if you have money, you have to touch it...... You have to rush which noble and rich family is suddenly defeated, or which scholar of Shangshu University returns to his hometown, so that he has a chance to succeed.

Zhao Hao was in a hurry to live, so he could only settle for the second, buy a few adjacent courtyard houses, and get through the first to make do with it. When they return to Jiangnan, they will demolish and rebuild a big house.

Of the five quadrangle courtyards that Zhao Xian bought, the middle two have five-entry courtyards and dozens of houses. The other three are slightly smaller, one of the four into the two three, the place is enough and sufficient, but the style is not uniform, and there is no garden, lotus pond and the like, so it still has to be demolished and rebuilt.

Of course, how to build it, it is up to Zhao Hao and the old man to come up with ideas.

"Haha, I don't care, grandpa won't come to Beijing often, as long as my eldest brother likes it." Zhao Hao smiled and patted Zhao Xian's shoulder and said, "The groom will get married next month, so let's wait and hear the opinion of the new sister-in-law." ”

"......" Zhao Xian's old face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Then how can it, the idea must be taken by a man." ”

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, only to see that the uncle was standing at the door of the main hall. Zhao Shouye followed the old man into Beijing in order to manage his son's marriage.

realized that the eldest brother was stimulated by the uncle's marriage, and he was afraid that he would overkill.

But my sister-in-law didn't see anything, and he wouldn't teach him to keep his husband's virtues.

Zhao Hao greeted the uncle with a smile, and then went in to kowtow to his grandfather.
