Although his grandfather was extremely wise most of the time, Zhao Hao still had his own persistence.

If he was going to smuggle, why did he wait until now? After gaining a firm foothold in Jiangnan, showing the Golden Seal of the King of the Pure Sea, it won't take too much trouble to join the Nine Families, and everyone will happily be a middleman to make the difference, isn't it beautiful?

Now he has suppressed the Wang family, the Hua family, the Lu family, the Gu family and the others for a whole year, and does not let them continue to smuggle, isn't it just to clear their original sin?

In another time and space, history has long eloquently proved that an empire built on the basis of smuggling, aggression, and enslavement, no matter how bright its coat is and how loud its universal slogans are, cannot change the evil and anti-human slave owner nature in its bones!

The reason why those wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River changed their ways and were willing to follow them was because they promised that they could take them and make money in a dignified manner, so that they no longer had to worry about humiliating their families, let alone leaving a stain on history?

Of course, Zhao Hao didn't dare to say this, so he had to smile and say: "It's because the grandson is too high, and it's not good to slap himself in the face." ”

After a pause, he sighed lightly and said, "Besides, the tax burden of the people in Jiangnan is too heavy. Obviously earning more than elsewhere, but just to support his family. If the shipping of grain can be successful, their burden will be reduced by at least half, and they will have spare money to spend in their hands, so that they can afford to buy the products of Jiangnan Group. ”

Although Zhao Gongzi's eyes have always been overseas, he knows that the foundation and most important market of Jiangnan Group has always been in China. At present, he has not been able to take care of the entire Ming Dynasty, at least to boost the consumer market in Jiangnan first, right?

And to boost the consumer market, just rely on the consumption of a very small number of rich people? You still have to let the fart people have extra money in their hands and dare to spend money before they can use it!

"Yes, you kid has his own set, this is a good thing, this is the seed of the old Zhao family!" Zhao Liben was not angry, but looked at Zhao Hao sympathetically and said: "It's just that if you want to shoot twice, you have to pay the price of peeling off the skin." ”

"Anyway, you have to peel off the skin to do one thing, why don't you do it together and make a big one." Zhao Hao has more lice and is not afraid of biting.

"You kid, you are so happy about this, and you will follow your grandfather." Zhao Liben scolded with a smile and said, "Yes, grandpa will also accompany you to take off this layer of skin." ”

Saying that, he looked awe-inspiring and said: "But you have to be careful, Caoyun's gang is not a good man and a woman, and they won't just fight with you on the table." They're definitely going to make a shady trick. ”

Zhao Hao nodded and said: "Sun Er knows that before he came, he had already made various plans with the strategy committee, and ordered the important departments to maintain first-level alert. Whoever of them doesn't open his eyes, let the horse come! ”

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows, and said domineeringly: "If it weren't for the jobs of hundreds of thousands of workers, I wouldn't be able to arrange it for the time being." This time, it is the most reassuring to completely abolish Caoyun!

"Good ......" Zhao Liben was taken aback by Zhao Hao's sudden outburst of domineering, and a ball slipped through the hole close at hand.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said depressedly: "But I have to remind you that no matter what the result is this time, you will completely offend Caoyun's gang, and you will suffer from open guns and hidden arrows in the future." ”

Zhao Gongzi put on a posture that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and opened his arms and said, "Let the storm come more violently!" ”

Before the words fell, he was kicked by Zhao Liben and kicked on the cheek.

"I call you a kid crazy!"

"And what else can I say?" Zhao Hao covered his ass and jumped away.

"I'm asking you to find a way to find a target to help you block the arrow." Zhao Liben changed the club, hammered the last ball into the last hole, and called it a day.

"It's hard to find such a fool." Zhao Gongzi threw the leather bag on the ground, walked with his grandfather to the pergola by the lake, and sat on the rattan chair.

Qiaoqiao hurriedly served the two of them a cold drink.

The old man drank schisandra water, which is said to be a specialty of Liaodong, which can treat insomnia and forgetfulness, which is actually very suitable for Zhao Gongzi.

But Zhao Hao couldn't stand the mixed taste, and drank the bayberry juice he loved.

"If you look closely, you can still find it." Zhao Liben took a sip of spicy, sweet, sour, bitter and salty schisandra water, and his old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.

Zhao Hao used a straw straw made by Qiaoqiao to suck Qiaoqiao comfortably...... After making bayberry juice, I felt comfortable all over, and then said lazily: "Come to think of it, there is only one person who can make a shield for us, but grandpa has a holiday with him, so he can't use it." ”

Zhao Liben was so smart, he knew who he was talking about as soon as he heard it, shook the glass, sighed and said, "If you don't mention it, grandpa will also tell you about the tall beard." This time I went to Beijing to talk to the old guys, and found that I couldn't stop him, in this case, let's make a plan early. ”

"yes." Zhao Hao nodded, he saw Longqing a few times, and Longqing mentioned Master Gao to him a few times. Coupled with Zhang Idol, who never forgot Gao Suqing, if it weren't for his secret help, Li Chunfang would have been unable to suppress the coffin board of the tall beard.

But when he returned to Beijing, under the noses of others, it was difficult for him to make any more moves. Otherwise, even if the emperor sees it, the sharp-eyed Zhang Idol will definitely find out that he has been secretly obstructing.

"I think I have a chance, so I might as well talk to him." Zhao Liben took a sip of the five-flavor mixed juice, looked at the sky and sighed: "It's not the same time now, I believe that after calming down in the countryside for two whole years, he should be more sensible, right?" ”

Zhao Hao was in a trance when he heard this, time flies so fast......

He couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, now you can always tell me, what kind of contradiction do you two have?" ”

But seeing that Zhao Liben's face changed for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't ask, asking is a deep hatred!" ”

'It's this sentence again...... Zhao Gongzi rolled his eyes helplessly, and said in his heart that the old man was a hate professional household back then!

In fact, in terms of axioms and fairness, Zhao Hao's impression of the beard is quite good. After all, he is also the one with the strongest ruling ability among the three phases of Daming Zhongxing.

Although he is a little fan of Zhang Idol, he still has to admit that the tall beard is so tall and lost than Zhang Idol. Otherwise, Zhang Idol would not have wanted his brother Su Qing to come back.

And there is also a very important point, in one year, there will be a tribute incident related to the northwest border. Without Gao Suqing's strength to override public opinion, relying on Zhang Idol, who is difficult to speak alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress those conservative officials. Zhao Gongzi has neither the energy nor the ability to mix in this matter.

But a peaceful Ming Dynasty is the foundation of Jiangnan's economic take-off, so from the overall situation, Zhao Gongzi can't always press Gaoxin Zheng in Gaojiazhuang.

Alas, it doesn't matter, anyway, the tall beard comes and goes in a hurry. Bear with it, and go down......

~~

Zhao Hao's ancestors and grandsons lived in Qilizhuang for a few days, and not long after returning to the capital, they heard that the Caoyun Yamen's urgent performance had been delivered to the capital.

As expected, the 'Jiaolai shipping plan' proposed by Caoyun Yamen really aroused a strong response.

In addition to the officials of the Caoyun Group, many people who were unhappy with shipping before, as well as those who received money from the Caoyun Group, as well as officials from the Jiaodong Peninsula, all jumped out to support this plan for river-sea combined transport, and the seconded ones flew to the cabinet like snowflakes.

"Look, there are a lot of people who support Jiaolai shipping." In the cabinet, Li Chunfang looked at the seconded motion with satisfaction. "Sure enough, I still have to 'listen to both'."

Chen Yiqin, who was on the side, smiled and said, "Yuanfu advocates delaying urgent matters, which is really reasonable. No, slow down, slow down new ideas. ”

"yes." Li Chunfang said quite complacently: "You have to give everyone enough time to speak, otherwise how do you know what they think?" ”

Zhang Juzheng, who heard it on the side, sneered secretly again, and said in his heart, you don't care what they think! Just take care of the thoughts of the people below, and do a thing?!

"Then dare to ask Yuanfu, how should the Caoyun Yamen's recital be drafted?" Chen Yiqin asked Li Chunfang with a smile.

"The stakes are high, and the cabinet should not be arbitrary, so let's discuss it in the court." Li Chunfang thought for a while and said: "Take out the previous shipping plan of Jiangnan Group and let the public choose." Your Majesty wants us to 'step up the handling of sea transportation', and we must also choose the most suitable plan for Your Majesty." ”

"Yes." Chen Yiqin said, glancing at Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng got up very consciously and said, "Xiaguan will go back to the duty room first." ”

When he walked to the door, he stood up as if he remembered something, turned back to the two of them and said: "By the way, Yuanfu, the mausoleum guard came to report that the former Emperor Yongling's Qien Hall was seriously damaged by lightning strikes, and I asked the imperial court to send a large staff to investigate and allocate funds to repair it as soon as possible." ”

"Well, this is a big deal, and I can't delay it." Li Chunfang nodded.

"The legs and feet of the Ministry of Rites are inconvenient, so let's go to the lower officials." Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to ask.

Li Chunfang didn't want to look at him all day long, so she nodded and said, "In this way, there is Lao Taiyue." ”

"Where is Yuanfu talking, this is a matter within the official duty." Now Zhang Juzheng no longer claims to be unreasonable, and his attitude is still very upright.

~~

The court meeting is similar to the court push, and in order to avoid suspicion, the cabinet scholars do not participate, unless there is a particularly important issue, or the emperor feels that it is necessary for the scholars to participate.

This time, the topic is important enough, and after asking Longqing, all the cabinet scholars in Beijing will attend.

A few days before the meeting, the cabinet sent the agenda to the ministers who participated in the meeting, the Imperial History of Science and Technology, and other 45 officials, so that they could fully think in advance about how to make a decision.

Zhao Hao naturally also saw the court mail sent by the copy, and he was not surprised by this. This kind of major event is the proper meaning of the topic. After all, the biggest advantage of collective decision-making is that no one is responsible for any problems in the future.

Zhao Gongzi was accustomed to this kind of hypocritical scholar democracy, so he and his grandfather counted with their fingers there to count, how many votes there could be.

Compared with last year's Ying Tian Governor Tingtui, what is more troublesome this time is that the number of people participating in the court meeting this time is a little more, as many as forty-five. And there are more than a dozen Kedao officials who have a vendetta with Zhao Gongzi.

It's really a life.

This made Zhao Hao calculate, and he was not sure of winning.

was frowning, Li Mao came, and brought Li Chunfang's invitation.

"Master, my father wants to invite you to dinner." Li Maocai's face lit up, and he felt that he had finally been a little useful to his master.

ps. It turned out to be two more chapters, I'm sorry everyone. Knowing that everyone is in a hurry to read this paragraph, I don't have a weekend off, so I will write it for you.
