Out of the East Palace, Qin Hao went straight home, very gently with Li Xin and the others, and carefully gave his wife a massage, and then led his wife to the Hejian Palace.

Li Xiaogong had long known that this cheap son-in-law would come to him, and he had already let the back kitchen stew Qin Hao's favorite bear paw, this thing didn't want to be stewed in an afternoon, and he also put a big coffee table on it, with all kinds of tea sets on it, saying that someone had honored him for his good tea and wanted Qin Hao to give a tasting evaluation.

Qin Hao is not in a hurry, the more urgent the matter, the more slow it is, but he doesn't mind talking to the old man for a while, until a pot of tea is drunk and re-boiled, Qin Hao seems to ask casually: "I don't know the Tang Federal Reserve proposed by the son-in-law before, has the father-in-law discussed it with several other princes." ”

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Naturally, it was discussed, how to look at this kind of thing is a good thing for us clansmen, if we old men still have the opportunity to contribute to the country, how can there be a reason to disagree, just want to enter the game you said, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

Qin Hao smiled, "Of course, there are also some conditions, at least you have to stabilize the value of this salt first, otherwise it will be empty in the end." ”

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "This king knows what you mean, if you want to say that the richest person in the world, it should be us, whether it is Luoyang or Yangzhou, we have made a lot of money, do you want us to pay to help you stabilize the price of salt?" Alas, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but a few of our old guys are now building houses in Yangzhou, and this cash is really out of reach. ”

Qin Hao also smiled: "What my father-in-law said, of course the son-in-law also knows, I am ashamed to say that it was the son-in-law's idea to squeeze out your money in Yangzhou at the beginning, but as far as the son-in-law knows, most of the buildings in Luoyang have been rented out, and Yangzhou has not been sold for rent. It's also time to open up the market for buying and selling real estate. ”

Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly and said: "You want us to go back to the past, no, if the salt can't rise, we will all be poor." ”

Qin Hao personally took down the gurgling tea stove, poured a bowl for Li Xiaogong flatteringly, and said: "How can you, when the price of this salt rises back, not only will you not lose, but you can quickly sell the house at a slightly higher market price, and quickly return the funds. You, like those nobles, also use eighty percent? ”

Li Xiaogong shook his head with a smile, and said: "The reason why the court can let us make so much money is because we are a family, this family members, when making money, they naturally do not distinguish each other, but in this case, they naturally have to be more united, and besides, you kid has always had the ability to turn stone into gold, since this matter has been handed over to you to do, this king believes in you, and it should not disappoint us. ”

Qin Hao bowed and said, "In this way, on behalf of the people of the world, I have thanked all the princes." ”

Li Xiaogong kicked him on the ass and said, "The whole world belongs to my Li family, what do we use you to replace it." ”

Qin Hao smiled, to be honest, he thought that he would have to spend a lot of money, but he didn't expect this Li Xiaogong to be so happy, he also thought that these Li Tang's princes would be the same as those in the Ming Dynasty.

Saying this, the people in the back kitchen came over and said that it was a bear's paw, and Qin Hao had no resistance to this thing at all, so Li Xiaogong laughed and led Qin Hao to the dining room to eat.

After a few bites of bear paws and chatting for a few words, Li Xiaogong suddenly remembered something and asked, "You, the leader of the Green Gang, according to the previous agreement, it is time to step down." ”

Qin Hao nodded and said, "Yes, I promised to be elected every two years, but I didn't expect this dazzling effort to come in the past two years." ”

Li Xiaogong smiled and asked, "What are you going to do?" Now is the critical period of the reform of the Green Gang, and it has caught up with such a big thing as Yanyin, and at this time and that time, now that your Green Gang is already a government military establishment, do you plan to really retire, or use this as an excuse to be re-elected. ”

Qin Hao shook his head and said: "The rules are the rules, since it is stipulated that there is an election every two years, then you must choose it, otherwise this Green Gang will not become my alone, the imperial court gave all the hall masters the official position of a guerrilla general, but only I, the leader of the Green Gang, was left behind, I think there are also considerations in this regard, the Green Gang, you can't do a word." ”

Li Xiaogong nodded approvingly, lifted the large white porcelain bowl full of grape wine, and tilted his neck to do it, "Yes, know how to advance and retreat, but now is indeed not a good time for you to retreat, and the candidate for the next gang leader, who do you prefer in your heart, with your status in the gang, the person you personally selected should be eight or nine without leaving ten." ”

"The sea shark in Yangzhou, the sky rat in Luoyang, and the hemp pole Zhang in Chang'an, there should be only these three people who are qualified to choose this gang leader."

"I also know as an outsider that among the three, whether it is strength, ability or popularity, it is the one who has the advantage, and the personal relationship with you is also the best, but there are rumors that you are at odds with him, and this election will not only not help him, but will also suppress him."

Qin Hao smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect this kind of rumor to spread in your ears, yes, I do want to suppress that heavenly rat, because he is too strong, obviously he started in Luoyang, but he can sell his property and go to Yangzhou alone, we also had dirty and cooperative back then, and I know the true nature of this person, and I don't feel at ease if such a big power is handed over to him." ”

"Then you'd better control it, the Green Gang is now at this fork in the road of life and death, at this time, we must be united, and there must be no chaos inside, before Chang'an, there has been a mess once, the gangsters are fighting on the street with Changge and armor, hehe, your Green Gang is very big."

Qin Hao could only smile bitterly, his Green Gang was imitating the system of the triad in later generations, remembering the Xiangjiang in later generations, every time the triad chose to sit in the hall, it was the most nervous time for the Xiangjiang police, because every time they would beat people's brains out of dog brains.

Of course, Qin Hao's prestige in the Qing Gang is still high enough, and it is inevitable that he will be in charge of a small dirty, but there should be no big mess, but now this time is a little sensitive, if such a 'small matter' as choosing a gang leader affects such a big thing as the salt induction, then it will be difficult for him to atone for his sins.

"Don't worry, Uncle Yue, I already have a countermeasure, I should be able to make them more civilized in this election, and more or less, I can also contribute to this matter."

Li Xiaogong shook his head with a smile and said, "So, then even if I'm worried about it, you, you, do you know what Li Shentong said about you?" You calculate, and you can always count people to the bones. ”
