Chapter 181: Taking into account the north and the south

"On what terms?" Old Man Zhao smiled slightly when he heard this, and asked quietly, he knew Zhao Deyi very well, so he naturally knew what he wanted.

"Dad, many of the people who used to follow his son are now idle at home, and my son hopes to take them away." Zhao Deyi hesitated this time, and then looked at Old Man Zhao and said in a deep voice.

"They are all talents, and they are also the heroes of the Fuxiang, you must treat them well." Seeing this, Old Man Zhao finally showed a happy smile on his face, and promised his conditions to Zhao Deyi with a slight bow, it seems that Zhao Deyi still can't let go of the Fuxiang in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't seem hesitant.

"Thank you, Dad!" Zhao Deyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked Old Man Zhao, then hesitated for a moment, raised his head and said to Old Man Zhao, "Dad, Enming is embarrassed, you should let Enlun go to Jiangnan." ”

"Enming is really not angry, if he has one-tenth of Enlun, I can rest assured." Old Man Zhao shook his head a little helplessly, Zhao Enming, who turned the river and the sea in the south of the Yangtze River and stirred up the miasma of the Fuxiang number, disappointed him too much, and it seemed that he was going to let Zhao Enlun go to clean up the mess.

"Li Jieyuan, there is one thing I don't know whether to ask or not." Then, Old Man Zhao turned around and looked at Li Hongyu with a loving face.

"Grandpa can speak as bluntly as he can, and grandchildren must know everything and say everything."

Li Hongyu bowed to Old Man Zhao when he heard this, and said solemnly, "Grandpa, in the future, you and your father-in-law can call your grandson 'Hongyu', and the word 'Xie Yuan' will kill your grandson." ”

"In the case of Miss Zhang's murder, is the murderer Meng Shi?" Old Man Zhao pondered for a while, looked at Li Hongyu and asked slowly, this is a top-secret case of the government, and only Yang He knows the best about the entire government.

"Grandpa thinks Meng Shi is a murderer?" Li Hongyu thought about it when he heard this, and asked solemnly.

"Haha......"

Old Man Zhao was stunned at first, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, Li Hongyu answered his question perfectly, the result of the murder of Miss Zhang was in his hands, as long as he said that Meng Shi was not a murderer, then Li Hongyu would definitely let Meng Shi go, so that the Shen family would prepare for the funeral.

Zhao Deyi also reacted, and looked at Li Hongyu with some surprise, Li Hongyu put the life of his wealth in the hands of Old Man Zhao, and Old Man Zhao's words could ruin the hope of the Shen family's future.

"Today, the Zhang family and the Shen family have asked someone to investigate the progress of the case, and grandpa wants to know what the truth is?" After laughing for a while, Old Man Zhao looked at Li Hongyu with an approving expression and asked.

Although the Zhao family and the Shen family have enmity, the two sides have mutual friends on the border of Shanxi, and this kind of local power relationship is usually intertwined, so although it is inconvenient for the Shen family to come to investigate the case, there are friends who can help to inquire about the Zhao family on their behalf.

The person who can speak to Old Man Zhao is naturally an old friend of Old Man Zhao, so Old Man Zhao wants to sell him this favor, in fact, he is also a little curious, wanting to know whether Shen Shaoqiang is a murderer.

"Grandpa, according to the current evidence, it was Meng Shi who killed the murderer." Li Hongyu had long known that Old Man Zhao disdained to frame the Shen family by secretly engaging in these small actions that could not be put on the stage, so he said solemnly, "However, Meng Shi is a paranoid person, and it is not easy to make him confess." ”

"The boy of the Shen family is really lucky to be able to meet you and Xin'er, otherwise he would have been convicted of murder."

Old Man Zhao smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Li Hongyu, "Although Grandpa doesn't like that old guy of the Shen family, that old guy is a person who understands Entu's retribution, and he will definitely repay you after you save his grandson this time, and it will be of great benefit to you in business." ”

"Grandpa, in the long run, trade with overseas countries is the future development trend of business, the northern region of the Ming Dynasty is barren, the people live in poverty, although now it can bring a lot of profits and the potential for development is limited, not as great as the prospects of maritime business."

Li Hongyu did have such an idea, wanting to unite all possible forces to develop and strengthen his own power, but although he attached importance to the border trade with the north, he attached more importance to the sea trade with overseas countries, so after a deep sigh, he looked at Old Man Zhao with a serious expression, "Grandpa, I think the Fuxiang should also consider the matter of sea trade." ”

"Maritime trade is the territory of those people in Huizhou, how easy is it to intervene?" Old Man Zhao couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Just like the border trade is dominated by the Jin merchants, the sea trade is dominated by the Hui merchants, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, in the case of inconvenient transportation in ancient times, the geographical advantage determines that the master of trade is the local merchants, to get a piece of the pie is not easy.

Just as the Jin Chamber of Commerce mercilessly suppressed those foreign forces who wanted to get involved in the northern border trade, the Hui merchants would also do their best to get rid of those forces who wanted to get involved in the sea trade.

"Grandpa, there is a good saying, it is not a raptor but a river, if I can get into the Jinshi this time, I will find a way to open up the channel of sea trade." Li Hongyu knew Old Man Zhao's worries, so he pondered for a while and said with a cold expression, "At that time, I will find a way to get rid of those who try to block our path!" ”

Seeing that Li Hongyu's words revealed a faint murderous aura, Old Man Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, those who become big things must be decisive, he didn't expect Li Hongyu to have such courage at a young age, it was really beyond his expectations, and he was pleasantly surprised.

"This kid!"

Zhao Deyi looked at Li Hongyu in surprise, he also thought that the gentle Li Hongyu was a gentle person, but now it seems that he was wrong, Li Hongyu's temperament seems to be more ruthless than that of Old Man Zhao, after all, Old Man Zhao did not have this murderous aura of Li Hongyu when he was like Li Hongyu.

In Zhao Deyi's view, this matter is like a double-edged sword, which shows that Li Hongyu will never drag his feet, which will make him have the upper hand in the future struggle of interests, but it also means that Li Hongyu's career will definitely not be dull, God knows what turmoil will be caused at that time, Zhao Xin will definitely fall into danger with him.

However, since the will of heaven brought Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu together, Zhao Deyi could only bless the two and do his best to help Li Hongyu.

After leaving Old Man Zhao's room, Li Hongyu returned to his residence in a complicated mood, lying on the bed, his hands pillowed behind his head and looked at the roof in a daze, if it wasn't for Old Man Zhao and Zhao Deyi to tell him the truth, he would never have thought that Zhao Xin, who was admitted to Yayuan, would be a woman.

After meeting Zhao Xin, the scenes flashed in front of Li Hongyu's eyes, and he felt that maybe he and Zhao Xin really had a fateful marriage, which not only made the two people thousands of miles apart meet unexpectedly but also walked together, which can be said to be a fate to meet thousands of miles away.

At the same time, Li Hongyu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, today on the way to Zhaojiabao, he thought that he had a habit of breaking his sleeves, and he would be disturbed by Zhao Xin, who couldn't help laughing, and now it seems that he is too careful, if you want to blame, you can only blame Zhao Xin's men's clothes are too handsome, which inevitably makes people think about it.

To be honest, Li Hongyu never expected that his trip to Shanxi would have such a huge gain, not only found his destined wife, but also got Zhao Deyi, a helper who was enough for him to fully trust, which was really a lot of gains.

Regarding whether Zhao Xin should go to the capital to take the exam, Li Hongyu's mood is now very complicated, on the one hand, he hopes that Zhao Xin can help him in the capital, and secondly, he is also worried that Zhao Xin will fall into the whirlpool of right and wrong in the imperial court, which will be in danger of his life.

But then again, the arrival of the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable, the so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the Ming Dynasty has become a dull old man after more than 200 years, and various social evils will break out after more than 200 years of accumulation, Li Hongyu just wants to prosper the Ming Dynasty to no avail.

To take the simplest example, for more than 200 years, a large amount of land in the Ming Dynasty has been wantonly swallowed up by various elite classes, which has made the lives of ordinary people more difficult. Obviously, he can't do it, otherwise he will be the enemy of the entire court.

In Li Hongyu's view, the only way to solve the various contradictions in the current society is to "stand after the break", and only when the huge empire of the Ming Dynasty collapses can a new order be established.

Therefore, since Zhao Xin is the mother of the Li family, she must plan for the future of the Li family, Li Hongyu does not want to become a slave of the dead country and serve the Jurchens outside the Guan, so Li Hongyu needs Zhao Xin's help, Zhao Xin's courage and strategy are excellent, and he will definitely be his best helper.

In a daze, Li Hongyu yawned and fell asleep, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "brother" became a wife, he made a lot of money this time.

The next day, the ancestor worship ceremony of the Zhao family officially began, and the entire Zhaojia Fort was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

Yang He, as the magistrate of Qingyuan County, naturally wanted to come to cheer, in order to catch up with the auspicious time to worship the ancestors, he rushed from the county early in the morning, and the old man Zhao naturally led a kind of people to greet him.

Li Hongyu's identity is naturally a distinguished guest invited by the Zhao family, and those guests who came to watch the ceremony together, originally the Li family also wanted to hold such an ancestor worship ceremony, but Li Hongyu politely refused, and was ready to wait until the trial was over.

He is confident that he will be named on the gold list, and he will find an opportunity to do the matter of worshipping his ancestors at that time, you must know that Jinshi is much more beautiful than lifting people.

Looking at Zhao Xin, who was standing behind the crowd of old man Zhao with a serious expression, Li Hongyu couldn't help but snicker secretly in his heart, and he didn't know what the mood of this little girl was now, so he must be quite melancholy in his heart:

The good Miss Zhao family became the son of the Zhao family as soon as she turned into a good girl, and her name was also grandly listed on the family tree of the Zhao family, God knows when she will be able to restore her daughter.
