Children are easily fooled, but adults are not.

After eating breakfast, Ho Hongming found Zhongli to meet him.

"Zhong Gongzi, this journey is all about your deeds, which is really emotional. It's just that I've been thinking about what it will be like to see you before, but I didn't expect it, and I was still surprised when I saw it. ”

Zhongli raised his eyebrows, but instead made him a cup of kung fu tea and made a "please" gesture.

"This is the tea that our family just made, you can try it and see if you like it."

He Hongmingguang looked at Zhongli's appearance like flowing water, and couldn't help but speak.

"You don't need to drink it, just looking at the color and smelling the fragrance knows it's good."

Even if he had seen a lot of good things in the Four Princes' Mansion before, he couldn't help but sigh that Zhongli would enjoy it.

Taking another sip, he couldn't help but light up his eyes and quickly raised his eyes.

"Good! Good! Good! Sure enough, it's good. ”

Zhongli curled the corners of his lips and took a sip of tea, but did not speak.

And He Hongming put down the teacup and looked at Zhongli after hesitating for a while.

"Zhong Gongzi, I won't go around the bend with you! I am very impressed by your open-mindedness and insight. But this thing is clearly different from the others. You've promised Four Baylor that you're going to give those dividends to Four Baylor. But isn't it a bit too much to do it now? ”

Zhongli couldn't help but sneer and looked at him, and only slowly spoke after he saw that he was a little red-faced.

"Really? It's just that the four Baylor nobles forgot a lot, and after the title was raised, they turned their faces and didn't recognize people? I did get this thing out of the beginning, but I also told Sibeile afterwards that I had to talk to the owner who bought me in the first place about how it would change in the future. ”

Want an empty glove white wolf?

Seeing the anger on Zhong Li's face, He Hongming couldn't help frowning.

Why didn't this man play according to the rules? Isn't it time for everyone to sit down and talk to each other before they have a game? Why did you turn around so quickly?

"Zhong Gongzi, this ......"

Zhongli couldn't help but sneer and looked at the other party.

"I know what you're trying to say, and I know what you're up to. But I can't promise you that. It's like children, they are innocent from an early age, and it's better not for them to step into such a complicated and dirty world as adults. So since I want to run a college, I don't want the academy to be full of your kind of aristocratic families and the whirlpool of struggle for power and profit, what I want is a completely new place. And as for your Lord Belle, I'm not afraid to embarrass you when I say it. Now, if he wants to intervene in it, he is not qualified enough! ”

He Hongming followed with a sneer, looking at Zhongli with disdain, his expression extremely embarrassed.

"Really? Seeing Sibeiler's respect for Zhong Gongzi before, I originally thought that you were a righteous person, but at this time, it was just Erer. Since you can't look at Sibeile, why did Bawang come up in the first place? Who does Zhong Gongzi have a crush on now? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Or the three princes who have been in the limelight recently? Zhong Gongzi should not be too proud, who will have the last laugh is not necessarily! ”

Zhongli couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, did he have to find someone? If you're looking for a backer, why not look for the biggest? Even if it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if one person is above ten thousand people, the man at the top can trample him on the soles of his feet if he doesn't like it.

Zhongli snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.

"You're wrong, not only the four beylers, but even the third prince, and even the crown prince can't eat it. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! This academy is the most suitable person to be involved, not the fourth prince of your family, not the crown prince, not the third prince, but the current majesty. ”

As soon as these words came out, He Hongming almost jumped up from his chair.

Your Majesty Today!

Is this Zhong Gongzi crazy?

He sneered and looked at Zhongli.

"Zhong Gongzi, are you crazy? Not to mention that this is a border city, this is Zhao Yiyan's territory. Do you think King Qingyang will agree? You won't be unaware of His Majesty's jealousy of King Qingyang today, right? Even if King Qingyang is your sworn brother, does he agree? ”

Zhongli made another cup of tea for the other party and said with a smile.

"Why on earth do you think you're here if he doesn't say yes? Sometimes, things aren't what they seem. Do you know how much population and taxes a college can bring to a border city? An academy can become a way out for the children of the poor family, promote talents for His Majesty, and this academy can also weaken the power of King Qingyang, and slowly eliminate the barrier between the imperial power and King Qingyang, why not? ”

Zhongli's eyes flickered twice, lowered his eyes and slowly sipped the tea, waiting for the man opposite to clear the clouds and see the sun.

The staff couldn't help but raise their eyes to look at Zhongli, is this really the case?

Who of them doesn't know what a college represents? Although they are just from humble backgrounds, they can successfully pass the exam more than a dozen times a year, and there are already a lot of candidates in a few years!

So after knowing about this matter, they discussed it, and then they decided to send someone over to retreat as advance. The condition of giving up the dividends of those glaze factories was exchanged for the condition that the Four Princes' Mansion intervened in the academy.

"But Zhong Gongzi, you just said that an academy will bring a lot of taxes to the border city? But don't forget, they all come from poor backgrounds, and they may not even be able to pay for them. ”

He felt good about himself, after all, he had been in contact with many things after following Sibeile for so long, no matter how talented Zhongli was, he wouldn't know these things, right?

It's just that he forgot that Zhongli was originally a businessman, but a qualified businessman.

"As long as somebody spends money, there will be taxes. From food, clothing, housing and transportation, to pen, ink, paper, inkstone. They don't have any money, so they need to pay dividends and get money! But if you take money, you have to procure, and if you buy it, you have to pay taxes, and if you pay more taxes, the border cities will be more prosperous. ”

He Hongming thought for a while before giving up this topic, but looked at Zhongli curiously.

"But you're a little too conceited to say that, aren't you? A academy wants to weaken the power of King Qingyang? How can it be! ”

He scoffed.

If it was so simple, His Majesty the Emperor would not have had no way to take Zhao Yiyan for so many years, but chose to boil the frog in warm water, and slowly put people here to weaken his strength.

"But you have forgotten the composition of the people in this academy. They came from a humble family! Do you know who the soldiers are in the troops? If you are not poor to the end, there is no way, who will risk their lives to go to the barracks? ”

He Hongming only felt that he had a conversation with Zhongli, and he had simply changed his brain circuit, how could this be?

And Zhao Yiyan really agreed!

What's the difference between that and waiting to be killed? He believed that once Zhao Yiyan lost his power and power, His Majesty the Emperor would take advantage of his illness and ask for his life!

It's just that he can't say this kind of thing, and he doesn't dare to say it, so he can only keep this doubt in his heart and decide to discuss it after he goes back.

"But don't worry, since I took away the dividends of the four Baylors, I will naturally give him a part again, I am not the kind of person who has no skin and no face."

hit himself hard in the face like a slap, and He Hongming only felt a hot pain on his face.

This is simply a deliberate attempt to embarrass him.

But even if it is embarrassing, you have to endure it, after all, they are doing a bit too much, and using what others give them in exchange for another benefit can be regarded as a response to the sentence that there is no skin and no face.

He Hongming couldn't help coughing dryly, blushing and reaching out to touch his nose.

"Recently, I have come here to disturb Mr. Zhong!"

Zhongli smiled and nodded slightly.

Recently, it's been a bit lively!

Zhongli did what he said, and said that he would take them around in the next few days, so he really took them around. Whether it is Canggu City or his own Zhuangzi's field, he is everywhere.

On the dinner table.

He Hongming looked at the booklet in front of him with some surprise, and the menu drawn in colored ink on it made people can't help but have an appetite when they read it.

So, I picked up the best ones and ordered seven or eight in one go, and was about to have a few more plates, but was stopped by Zhong Liyun next to him.

"This uncle, we can't order it anymore, we'll wait until next time to eat."

He Hongming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and shook his head at them, with a little arrogance in his expression.

"That's not a lot, at least ten dishes should be exchanged, right?"

Zhong Liyun couldn't help frowning and shaking his head.

"Can we finish ten vegetables, Uncle Rin? We are wasting. ”

He Hongming shook his head indifferently.

"It's okay, if you don't take the money, I can invite everyone to dinner."

He glanced at Zhongli with a slight smugness, who didn't know that the Zhong family had scattered all their money before, and now they should have no money.

It's just that as soon as my voice fell, someone greeted me.

"This son isn't a local at first glance, is he?"

He Hongming turned his head to look over with some confusion, looked at the strange man, and asked curiously.

"Why do you say that?"

The man smiled, arched his hand towards Zhongli, and then said hello to a few little boys and little ladies, and then looked at He Hongming to explain.

"In the entire Canggu City, if Zhong Ergongzi stood outside and shouted that he didn't bring money, many people would rush over to pay. If he says he wants to eat, more people will come and invite him to eat. ”

Zhongli couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"This is all the love of the nearby folks, in fact, I don't deserve to be treated like this."

The man arched his hand towards Zhongli and said a few more words before leaving the place with a smile.

And Zhong Lixian also laughed.

"This uncle must not have heard that poem."

Zhong Lijue followed closely as he spoke.

"On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil."

At this time, Zhao Zichen, who was playing with the nine rings in his hand, quickly raised his arm and spoke loudly.

"I know, I know, who knows that Chinese food is hard work."
