The old man and the uncle also took the sea route, and Zhao Hao entered Beijing City one step first.

They only took a boat and quietly entered the mouth of Dagu, and no one noticed at all.

That night, the old man lived in the main courtyard, Zhao Xian and his son lived in the East Cross Courtyard, Zhao Hao and his disciples lived in the West Cross Courtyard, and the side courtyards on both sides were for the guards and attachés. The people in charge of the house are all the old people in Chunsong Hutong, and they don't need to say much to arrange it properly, which is very worry-free.

Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, the disciples rushed to pour the night pot for the master, but the senior brother still took the lead.

"Finally, I can serve Master again." Wang Wuyang held Zhao Hao's night pot, tears of excitement. "The disciple has been waiting for a day, and it has been three hundred and thirty-one days."

Qiaoqiao was very happy to see this, fortunately Sister Ma came to call early, otherwise she would have to be blocked in bed by these reckless apprentices.

Don't think about it! In this era, the large families slept in a large bed, just like a suite. The inner room is where the master sleeps, separated by a blue gauze cupboard, and a small bed is placed outside, which is the bed when the maid waits for the master to sleep at night. That's why there is a saying about a girl.

Zhao Hao has nightmares at night, and he often gets up in the middle of the night to ask for water. Qiaoqiao and Ma Xianglan have long been accustomed to taking turns to be on duty at night and waiting for him to sleep.

The two knew that after he came to the capital, he would definitely have nightmares when he changed places, and last night he slept with Qiaoqiao outside as usual. But before dawn, she was called up by the careful Sister Ma, and just after packing up the bunk and going out, she saw Wang Wuyang rushing into Zhao Hao's bedroom......

~~

Zhao Gongzi rubbed his sleepy eyes, freshened up and brushed his teeth under the service of his disciples, and dressed neatly, and then went to the main courtyard to accompany the old man for breakfast.

"Why don't you sleep more?" Zhao Liben was wearing reading glasses and reading the newspaper, and he was very unaccustomed to seeing Zhao Hao get up so early.

"Time is running out." Zhao Gongzi said nonsense, and said depressedly: "There are a few unethical apprentices who are rushing to pour the night pot, how can they sleep lazy?" ”

"Ahem...... Zhao Shouye almost choked on a sip of tea, and said with a wry smile: "The three Hanlin rushed to pour the night pot, this is the treatment that the emperor does not have." ”

"Uncle Xihan, let them pour it for you tomorrow." Zhao Hao laughed and asked, "What about the eldest brother?" ”

"I'm going to work," Zhao Shouye said happily and distressedly: "I was busy in Xishan Company during the day, and I went to taste very fresh at night, this kid has really changed." ”

"Brother Wu is now the head of the Literature and Anthology Department of the Ministry of Officials, and it is not a matter of welcoming and sending him to the restaurant all day long." Zhao Hao took the spoon offered by the maid, and while eating tofu flowers slowly, he said to Zhao Shouye:

"Uncle rest assured, he won't delay the eldest brother's lifelong event. At the end of the month at the latest, I transferred someone from Jinling to replace him and let my eldest brother concentrate on getting married. ”

Zhao Hao's candidate is Siya, but he can't trust the current shopkeeper. It's that you can't let the young couple live apart for a long time. Wu Yu did a good job in Xishan Company, and he couldn't call it back, so he had to transfer Siya to the capital.

"Hey, is Uncle the one who doesn't know anything?" Zhao Shouye hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Young people have to bear a little more before they can grow up." Saying that, his face was full of relief: "Zhao Xian has changed this year, as if he has changed a person, so it can be seen that he will be beaten more." ”

"Uh-huh." Zhao Yun, who was eating with her head bowed on the side, also nodded in agreement, the little girl finally walked out of the shadow of her parents' divorce, and she was no longer like a gourd.

After the family finished breakfast, Zhao Shouye took his daughter to go shopping. His son was about to get married, and he took a half-year leave from the yamen...... In fact, if you don't go back for a year, no one cares.

Uncle Zhao felt happy, but also a little sad.

After Zhao Shouye left, Zhao Liben dropped the newspaper and asked Zhao Hao what he talked about with the emperor yesterday.

Zhao Hao spoke about it again in 1510.

Hearing Zhao Hao say that Longqing had high hopes for the crown prince and hoped to cultivate a master of Zhongxing, Zhao Liben couldn't help but laugh. Although he did not comment, the disdain was palpable.

In fact, the old man wanted to say that I wanted to cultivate a champion at the beginning!

But when the words came to his lips, he realized that his unsuccessful second son had indeed won the champion.

Only then did he swallow the words, it was hard to say that Longqing wanted to fart.

"It's not that I said, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty has a problem at the root." The old man changed the angle of attack and said: "In order to avoid relatives from interfering in politics, I overcorrected and found the daughter of a small family to breed my son." What kind of good prince do you think this village girl can teach? It's almost ...... to teach a mason."

Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly, the old man looked down on the Ming royal family in every way. But it doesn't seem to be completely unreasonable. The mother is the first teacher of the child, and the child cultivated by an excellent mother is not ordinary.

But is there still a lack of heartless systems in the Ming Dynasty? There's nothing he can do.

However, after the old man was happy, he still reminded Zhao Hao that he should pay attention to the opportunity to contact the prince. People will infinitely amplify their childhood feelings, which is very important to him and the Zhao family, and they must use their brains more.

Zhao Hao also thought so, and naturally nodded in response. Speaking of the Xu Jie's project, Zhao Liben said in a deep voice:

The old man inquired that Xu Jie had sent a person from Lu Guang to work with the Xu family's steward in the capital, and he was about to set off some waves. As a result, as soon as the news of Lin Run's waking up came, those people immediately stopped. ”

"This is natural, who is not worried that Lin Zhongcheng has ironclad evidence of the Xu family's lawlessness in his hands? Before he made a move, who would dare to jump out as a target? Zhao Hao smiled.

In fact, all the evidence was burned in that fire. But no one dares to gamble with their career and reputation, whether Lin Run is still hiding a killer move.

"In short, Haigang Peak is so tossed, and he can sit firmly in the position of the governor of Yingtian, which is really auspicious." Zhao Liben glanced at Zhao Hao meaningfully and said, "I don't know why, it's better for him and Lin Run than for you?" ”

"Grandpa said this, who can compare to your old man?" Zhao Gongzi hurriedly poured tea and beat his back for Zhao Liben with a shy face, pointing to the sky and swearing that his grandfather was in the first place. Only then did the tsundere old man be appeased.

~~

The two finally talked about the business of entering Beijing this time.

After listening to Zhao Hao's story, Zhao Liben frowned and sighed: "You judged right, you have to pull the saw for a while in this matter, and if you don't get it right, you have to fight." ”

"My posture is so low," Zhao Hao muttered unhappily: "It's just a supplement to Cao Yun, do you want to fight your brains?" ”

"For some people, the word 'shipping' can't be mentioned." Zhao Liben said with a wry smile: "The old man has probed the tone of the former Caodu, and he said that there is a consensus between the Caoyun Yamen, that is, the opening of the sea cannot be opened, and if it is not done well, it will be a thousand miles of embankment and collapse in the anthill." ”

"So serious?" Zhao Gongzi frowned.

"The Ryukyus, as well as the countries of the South Seas, come by ship every year to pay tribute, and every year it is like this, and I have not seen anyone capsize the ship a few times. Not to mention that the Franc machine man came from Tessie, who was tens of thousands of miles away, didn't he also take a boat? Now Fujian has also opened up the sea, and so many ships are released to the sea every year. As long as you are not blind, everyone knows that the sea is not so dangerous. Zhao Liben raised his eyebrows as he spoke, and said with a sense of hope: "When Zheng He went to the West seven times, the red-haired ghost was still playing with urine and mud at home!" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hao bowed slightly, through his contact with the eldest princess and the emperor, he found that they didn't think it was a big deal to go to sea at all. Obviously, in a country that has conquered the sea, no one is truly afraid of the sea.

"But the more this is the case, the more weak the people who eat the canal rice become, and they can't wait to shut everyone's mouths, so that no one in the court can mention those two terrible words, so that they can feel at ease." Zhao Liben put down the teacup and said with a sarcastic face: "This kind of clumsy trick of covering your ears and stealing the bell can be played all the time, it can be seen that Daming is going to die!" ”

Zhao Gongzi was helpless for a while, although the old man was persuaded by himself, his prejudice against the Ming Dynasty was deeply rooted.

"Then let's find a few more mouths to talk to, they can't block it." Zhao Hao hurriedly cheered up the old man and said: "When I go back, I convened a general meeting of shareholders of Xishan Company and proposed to jointly ship with Jiangnan Company, but I don't believe that those people can block the mouths of all my shareholders!" ”

"Hmm." This is all a planned thing, Zhao Liben naturally knew it a long time ago, Gu Pan Zixiong nodded and said: "Those guys didn't meet our masters, otherwise they would have knelt for the uncle a long time ago." ”

"Good, good! Grandpa is imposing!" Zhao Gongzi was busy serving sycophants and encouraging his grandfather to connect a few more families.

~~

When Zhao Hao returned to the West Cross Courtyard, Tang Youde, Sun Dawu and Guo Da had been waiting there for a long time.

The former brought a thick stack of accounts of the Xishan Company, and the latter brought the accounts of the Lugouqiao Coal Yard, and asked Gongzi to take stock of the accounts himself.

Although after the settlement at the end of the year, they sent the general ledger to Jiangnan as soon as possible, but the important thing is to let Gongzi see their correct attitude.

"Stop, just leave it here, and I'll look back." didn't know that Zhao Gongzi was so used to Jiang Xue that he didn't even bother to read the accounts. However, among the attachés he brought, there are four professional bookkeepers, so let's go back and let them slowly interrogate.

Zhao Hao saw that in the yard, the reclining chairs and fruit plates had been arranged. I can't help but smile at Qiaoqiao, Sister Qiaoqiao is intimate, and I haven't forgotten this little hobby.

He slumped comfortably on the recliner and beckoned a few people to sit down in the nearby Maza. "You did a good job last year, half of the original plan, I'm very satisfied."

"Hehe...... the three of them were relieved, and Tang Fatzi joked: "It is our mission to satisfy the son." ”

"Everything is Childe's layout, we just acted according to orders, as long as it didn't spoil Childe's big business." The little black fat man Guo Da also offered pure sycophants.

"But compared to Childe's handwriting in Jiangnan, Xishan Company can only be regarded as a small fight." Sun Dawu is still the same, he can do things, and he can't speak.

"Hahaha, rest assured." Zhao Hao sat up, patted his round belly and said, "I'm coming back to take you to play with the big ticket!" After that, it's the kind that will go down in history. ”

"Oh?" The three of them had six eyes shining brightly, and Gongzi finally remembered that he still had a group of loyal and capable subordinates in Beijing.

"What do you want us to do? Childe, let's talk about it! ”

"When you go back, you should quickly notify you, and Xishan Company will hold an interim board of directors tomorrow morning, and you will know when the time comes." Zhao Hao didn't bother to say it again.

ps. The third update, ask for a monthly pass! It's gone today, so I went with my child......
