"You men are rough, so don't worry about the affairs of these women's families. The virtuous son-in-law is now the head of the Lingnan Road march, so you should go to your busy business. ”

Li Hao wanted to intervene and be driven away by the Wu family's sentence that she was a person from the past, but the Wu family's unbiased approach to Ruyan and Wanwan still made Li Hao a lot satisfied, otherwise Li Hao would really have to consider Wu's actions.

Although Li Hao couldn't take care of his own woman, and he didn't even give the bed, Li Hao didn't blame his mother-in-law, and this was the concept at this time. But in terms of diet, Li Hao has the final say.

Wu also knew that his son-in-law had his own unique side in terms of eating, and Li Hao himself was still a powerful doctor. So what to eat This Wu clan doesn't interfere much, they usually eat together, and Li Hao specially asked people to make a recipe.

"Brother-in-law, we want to see the sea, can you take us to see the sea?" Li Hao couldn't interfere in the affairs of the backyard, but he had to meet the various requirements of the two sisters-in-law. As soon as Wu Yue and Xiao Wu came over, they were particularly interested in the sea here and wanted to see it.

Li Hao didn't say a word, immediately asked people to arrange a carriage, and then took the two sisters-in-law to the dock in Pengcheng, and then specially arranged a clipper boat to take them out to sea for a walk, and even fished.

"Brother-in-law, how big is this sea?" On the white flying clipper boat, Wu Yue and Xiao Wu did not show any seasickness, of course, this has something to do with the slow driving of the boat and not driving far.

"This sea is big, the land we live on is less than half of the sea, how big do you want to go down this sea?" After hearing this, Li Hao replied with a smile that the sea in winter is much gentler, and the wind and waves are not big. Lying on the deck and basking in the sun is a very comfortable thing to do.

"But, brother-in-law, you said that the place where we live is a big ball, so why doesn't so much sea water fall out?" Wu Yue asked with a blinking eye, this question Li Hao's students had also asked before. Li Hao took out an orange from his hand, then dipped it in the water and spun it.

There is water on the surface of the orange, but Li Hao's rotation speed is not fast, and the water on the surface of the orange does not fly away with the rotation. "The ball under us is very large, the water on the surface is only a small part, plus this ball is not only revolving around the sun, but also itself, and because of gravity, how can this water fly out."

Li Hao has done this experiment before, but the explanation is a little more detailed, because the people trained by Li Hao at that time were for scientific research, and the more detailed and accurate the explanation, the better. And chatting with Wu Yue is just a fun chat, just let her know that there is this thing.

"If it's a ball, and someone keeps going straight ahead, will they go back to square one as they walk?"

"Of course, like this sea, if you keep going forward, you will come back here after going around this ball in a circle. Next year the fleets will be on a long voyage, and then they will be able to really verify that what I say is right. ”

Li Hao smiled and replied, the earth is round, and no one will doubt this in future generations. But at this time, Li Hao will only talk to the people around him, or talk to his students about these truths, and he generally doesn't care much about other people, believe it or not!

There were all kinds of strangely shaped fish and animals in the sea, these were things that Wu Yue and the others had never seen. Li Hao took them to the dock on purpose, where seafood was landed every day, and then it was pulled everywhere to sell.

At this time, the sea is rich in resources, there are only a few fishermen, and the fishing tools are still very backward, how many things can they catch? So there is no fishing moratorium here, as long as the weather is right, it is no problem to go every day.

When Li Hao accompanied his two sisters-in-law to play around, and Li Hao's women could only stay at home, Wu was watching them from the house. Except for the necessary exercise that Li Hao said, there are no other activities for a few of them, which makes it really boring for a few women to stay at home.

Ruyan, they even took out the piano skills that were almost abandoned before, and played and sang together to pass the boring time. Every day after Li Hao came back, he looked at Li Hao with all his eyes, waiting for Li Hao to help.

"Lang Jun, why don't you take us out to have fun, it's too boring to stay in the house every day." It didn't take long for such a day to pass, and Li Hao's several women couldn't stand it, it was really boring.

You must know that after marrying Li Hao, Li Hao has never imprisoned the freedom of several of them. So a few women usually go out to buy something, or go shopping or something, these are no problem, which also makes their temperament a lot wilder. Now this kind of day of staying in the house every day, I naturally can't adapt to it.

"Well, I can't help you with that." Li took a good look at the unkind look on his mother-in-law's face, and hurriedly pushed it, otherwise he would have to follow the training, "Otherwise, how about I tell you a story?" ”

Li Hao originally looked at the four women around him, and wanted to take out the quintessence of mahjong. But as soon as he remembered the scene of those mahjong addicts playing with a big belly, Li Hao didn't dare to take out that thing at this time, otherwise his children would be taught to play mahjong, who knows if they will give birth to a bunch of gambling gods in the future.

can't play mahjong, can't go out for a walk, and wants to let his few women settle down, Li Hao had to take out the means of storytelling. The little girl who loved to listen to stories has now grown into a big girl, and she has become a lot less interested in stories.

"Then listen to the story first, and if it's not good, change the show." After listening to this suggestion, several women in Li Hao thought about it and felt that it was not bad to pass the time. Usually they still have time to move around, but not as much as before, and they can't exercise vigorously.

In order to coax women, Li Hao had to take out the storytelling skills he had lost for many years again, what Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, what Grimm's fairy tales were all brought out by him, and the thousand and one nights were also told, and this kind of life lasted until after the Spring Festival.

There is no snow in the south during the Spring Festival, but the weather here is a little wet and cold, which makes the three of them a little unaccustomed. All nest in the house, nothing to eat in the whole hot pot. What mutton hot pot, seafood hot pot, no less.

"The weather here is still much warmer than in the north, and the cold time is shorter." The weather in the south won't be cold for long, but it's really warm compared to the north when there is no heating at this time.

After the second lunar month, the weather here warmed earlier than in the north, and Li Hao began to get busy. First of all, the establishment of the Southern Development Bank, as soon as the bank was established, it set up branches in Yangcheng, Quanzhou, Tanzhou, Yuezhou and Hongzhou, headquartered in Yangcheng, where Li Hao can watch and facilitate management.

Comrade Xiao Wu was very interested in this, and followed Li Hao to the headquarters of the Development Bank every day to have a look and understand the operation of this thing. The initial capital of the development bank is 100,000 taels of gold, 1 million taels of silver, and millions of copper coins. After being assigned to each branch, there is actually not much.

However, this money is just a deposit, and it is not actually used much. Now the role of banks is more of a convenient tool for transshipment, for example, merchants in Guangzhou do not want to bring tens of thousands of copper coins to Yuezhou.

He can deposit the money at the branch in Guangzhou and exchange it for a bank ticket from the Development Bank, which has a special anti-counterfeiting mark that only people inside the bank know. After getting this silver ticket, the businessman could easily go to Yuezhou with a piece of paper.

Then I went to Yuezhou and exchanged the money, and I bought whatever I wanted. Or when he encounters a large business, he can also directly use the silver ticket to trade with other merchants, so that it is more convenient to use.

In the past, when they did this kind of business, they used horse-drawn carts to pull carts of coins, or silk could also be used. It's really not easy for them to do business, and they have to worry about being robbed. It's different now, the silver ticket is easy to hide, and it's easy to carry.

In addition to this, the development bank also provides mortgage services. It's not like usury, the interest is a lot less, and the interest rollover is not as strong. This is also a very convenient service for those merchants who do not have enough money to trade at the moment.

Li Hao first lent himself a sum of money, and soon after the establishment of the Development Bank, the first fleets of Far Eastern trade also began to depart. They used the mortgage of the ship, borrowed a lot of money from the Development Bank, and then purchased a large number of goods that were in short supply for the Hu merchants, and set out from Guangzhou Prefecture.

Their goal was to cross the South Seas, to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, and then to Europe. Li Hao marked the locations along the way, and what was going on over there couldn't be seen from the map, so it was up to these people to explore.

Those things that Hu Shang said, after all, they still can't get started, and they still have to be seen by their own people to be accurate. Han Long was the leader of this expedition, and each big ship was also equipped with soldiers. The soldiers who Li Hao arranged for the transfer are now working on these ships.

This is what Li Hao is planning, in the next few years, there will be a lot of troops on this side of Lingnan Road. In addition to following the fleet to explore routes and trade with Hu merchants, they also had to establish some stops and rest points along the way. If there is danger, there is also a fight.

"You guys are going, doing business and making money is a thing, and it is also important to find out the situation along the way, and if necessary, you can spend some money to get through the relationship. The situation of the country, the number of troops and the number of people along the way should be well understood, and it is best to know some Hu Chinese. And your safety is more important, be sure to come back all! ”
