In the second year of Kangtai, Rongguo Mansion.

Qin Hao hugged his four-year-old baby girl, half-lying on a Taishi chair, holding a thick cigar in his hand, and took two puffs.

"Daddy, don't smoke anymore, it's almost choking."

The youngest daughter said with a look of disgust.

"Hahaha, okay, good, since the baby won't let me smoke, then I won't smoke it."

As he spoke, Qin Hao found a cigar tong that he had specially ordered and cut out a small section in distress, and then put away most of the remaining cherished ones.

Nowadays, this tobacco is a rare thing, it is not easy to go to the Americas, and he is busy planting something when he brings something back, and there are very few things that can be enjoyed by people, even if he has such a high status, he is reluctant to throw away the cigarettes.

Seeing this, Li Xin scolded with a smile: "You, that is, your daughter can let you put down that broken thing for a while, and look at your lazy appearance, where you look like a prime minister." ”

Qin Hao was unconvinced: "What does it look like like the prime minister?" I heard that Zhang Chun recently proposed that I be a master, this is a good product, Lao Tzu is a very good minister, who else is pretending to be like that? The little in the court is annoying, but Lao Tzu is still happy at home with his grandson. ”

", you're only thirty years old, where did you get your grandson? It's like he's in his seventies and eighties all day long, and he doesn't look like a young man at all. ”

"Hehe, that's maybe, just our baby son, the master of the Qinglou at the age of four, it's not strange for me to suddenly bring a grandson back."

As the two of them were talking, they saw the second child rushing over, "Dad~Dad~ Come and see, come and see, the eldest brother has a letter, the eldest brother has a letter." ”

Li Xin scolded: "How old are you, and you are still so flustered all day long, when can you be as stable as your eldest brother?" ”

The second child stared at the innocent big eyes and said, "I'm as steady as a big brother, will you also marry me a daughter-in-law?" Can you also visit the Qinglou like a big brother? ”

Li Xin's face darkened, and he stopped talking, thinking so, it was better for the second child to worry.

Qin Hao took the letter with a smile and asked with a smile, "Madam, do you want to see it?" ”

"What's so nice, how long has it been since the little bastard has sent a letter, the letters are all looking for you, and they are all so-called business, and they don't care about his mother at all."

After all, Li Xin still snatched the letter, opened it and looked at it, Qin Hao was just about to ask what was written on it, when he saw Li Xin throw the letter on his chest with a dark face, "Look for yourself, crow's mouth." ”

Qin Hao opened it and took a look, Yahe? Xiao Wu is pregnant, and he is really about to become a grandfather.

Qin Hao raised his head and said in surprise: "Xiao Wu is pregnant, this is a good thing, why do you still have a black face?" ”

"Good what? It's not that I said you, you shouldn't have agreed to Xiao Wu to go with him in the first place, the two of them haven't even officially gotten married, how embarrassing is it to spread the word? No, I shouldn't have agreed to let him go in the first place, tell me about you, how can there be such a ruthless father in the world? The family was not completed, and the fifteen-year-old child was thrown to the Western Regions? How can there be such a ruthless father as you in the world, is he your own child, woo woo woo, my hard-working son. ”

Yes, here we go again.

Since Qin Xiaohao was sent away, Li Xin actually didn't pay much attention to him for half a year, and was angry with him, although he was barely coaxed, but as long as he seized the opportunity, he scolded him, Qin Hao knew that he was at a loss, and it was not easy to fight back.

Qin Hao rubbed his temples helplessly, fortunately, after so many years, he could be regarded as having the ability to listen to his right ear with his left ear, but he didn't have a headache, unfolded Qin Xiaohao's letter, and continued to read.

In the past two years, in the entire Tang Empire, there should be no one more dazzling than Qin Xiaohao, and the degree of his legend is almost exactly the same as when Qin Hao rose back then, and even surpasses. Of course, this is also because he has a good father, even if Qin Hao doesn't take care of him, who can not sell him some face.

With the development of the Americas, Datang once again ushered in a blowout development in a short period of time, and naturally, this wave of the biggest dividends was quickly earned by Qin Xiaohao led the Qing Gang in the Western Regions, and now, almost all the things shipped from the Americas did not leave Chang'an, and went directly to the Atlantic Ocean to stop ships in Persia, all of which were handed over to Qin Xiaohao, and Qin Xiaohao used his wonderful hands to turn these things into money quickly, and most of the 100,000 Qing Gangs were gathered under him, and no one could control it, and Su Dingfang also cooperated very tacitly.

Because the Americas are rich in gold and silver, and Dashi uses gold and silver as currency, it naturally becomes the capital export of Datang, and a large number of large quantities of Datang food are exchanged back to Datang, which improves the quality of life of the people of Datang and later generations.

And the merchants referred to here include the soldiers of the entire Western Regions, and this trade route is also firmly controlled by Qin Xiaohao.

However, Da Shi is not happy, as a general equivalent, once inflation rises, no one will be able to recruit, and they do not have the convenience of creating paper money like Datang, so the economy of Da Shi collapsed.

And Qin Xiaohao's letter, in addition to reporting the fact that he is about to become a father, is more important to report to Qin Hao on trade, by the way, Da Shi has become more and more dishonest recently, and may start a war at any time, how to fight this battle, and to what extent.

In this regard, Qin Hao could only tell him, whatever, anyway, if something happens, he will have to carry it by himself.

After reading the letter, Qin Hao saw that the baby girl had climbed the slide again, thought about it, and couldn't help but pick up the cigar again, light it with a special match, and smoke it again beautifully.

Ah, how wonderful life is. It would be even better if a brick suddenly fell from the sky and smashed right on the head of the eldest grandson Wuji.

…………

In Sikong Mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji was discussing national affairs with the eldest grandson Chong, and suddenly couldn't help but sneeze.

"What's wrong Dad?"

"It's okay, sneezing for no reason, and I don't know who cursed me for no reason."

"Hehe, Dad, this year's Spring Release, our Guanzhong children don't even account for half of it, isn't this a bit ......?"

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "There is no way, those scholars from other places, especially those children of families in Jiangnan, have no worse foundation than Guanzhong, and even stronger, after holding it for so many years, the quality of this session is naturally far from being comparable to the children of Guanzhong, I am already extremely partial, if this hand is biased, it will have to make trouble, and if Qin Hao comes out for them, he will definitely be a commotion again." ”

The eldest grandson said unhappily: "But these people have entered the court, but they are the hardcore Qin faction, Dad, I heard that Zhang Chun has recently proposed to crown him as a Taifu, if this matter becomes ......"

Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at Eldest Sun Chong with a smile and said, "Zhang Chun? It's just a matter of sowing discord, he just uses such a few means, what's the matter, is it because he sees that Qin Hao's son has been in the limelight recently, and he is in a hurry? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji thought about it, and finally nodded, and said: "Indeed, when I worked with Qin Hao back then, I only felt admiration, and there was no jealousy, but now, ...... I'm really a little jealous of that Qin Xiaohao. ”
