Chapter XXXI

Under a big banyan tree on the bank of the Qingxi River, Li Hao and Xiao Zhongzhi, the famous master of the criminal family, sat on two chairs.

The large banyan tree spreads its lush canopy, obscuring most of the sky, and the banyan tree hangs down its fibrous roots, swaying in the wind. The Qingqi River in front of it makes a big bend here, and then winds its way away. This is where the water changes direction and the river alluvial waters form a large sandy beach. On the river, a fishing boat is flowing down the water, and the fisherman on the boat is casting his net to catch fish.

The landscape here is like a Chinese painting, and there is a leisurely sense of writing in the bones.

Xiaolan stood aside and made tea, she was already familiar with the tea utensils of the Overworld. Li Hao felt that the tea brewed by this little girl was very good, so he specially picked out some articles on tea art from the computer and printed them out for her to see. Li Hao decided that the next time he came from the main world, he would bring some teaching videos of the tea master to show her, this little girl would not lose to the tea master of the main world if she cultivated it a little.

Xiaolan's movements are as smooth as smooth, and just looking at her movements makes me feel pleasing to the eye.

Soon the two cups of tea were delivered to Li Hao and Xiao Zhongzhi, and when the lid of the cup was lifted, a faint water vapor rose up. The two took a slow sip and tasted the good tea of the Overworld.

After a long time, Xiao Zhong praised directly: "Good tea, good tea and good water, Xiaolan girl's craftsmanship is really a must." Childe, you called me over today for more than just tea, right? I heard that the photo studio opened today, why don't you go and take a look? ”

"I'll go over and have a look in the afternoon, but it doesn't matter if I see it or not, this shop is under my nose, and the money will definitely not be too small. The difficulty is that there will be more branches in other places in the future, how can we manage them well. ”

If someone else says that there will definitely be no less money, Xiao Zhongzhi will be scornful, doing business is risky, and no one dares to say that he will make a profit without losing money. But when Li Hao said this, Xiao Zhongzhi felt that it was a matter of course, if Li Gongzi couldn't make money, who else in the Great Song Dynasty could make money?

"It's not difficult to get rich in the world, but the previous closure of the store made me understand that I still need to operate the power, otherwise it is not necessarily a good thing to have more money."

Xiao Zhongzhi was stunned for a moment, it's not difficult to be rich in the world? That's right...... Well, the person who is most qualified to say this is indeed the young son in front of him.

If you have money, you also need to have the power to protect yourself, this Xiao Zhongzhi understands.

Li Hao actually didn't say what he really said in his heart: "What I want is not to be rich in the world, what I want is for the Chinese civilization to continue to be passed on layer by layer in this time and space." ”

Li Hao lived in the Northern Song Dynasty for a summer vacation, and he already had a strong sense of identity here, and he was ready to cultivate the Force here for a long time. The cultivation method of the Yaling civilization requires absorbing the forces of different universes and fusing and refining them into the purest star element. Before Xing Yuan ascended to the fourth level, he could have been cultivating in this world.

Due to Xingyuan's special surname, staying in the main world all the time would not be conducive to cultivation, and he had to choose another world to cultivate, so Li Hao naturally planned to choose here.

Since you want to stay for a long time, you are not a passer-by who is in a hurry for sightseeing; Since you want to be rooted in it, you should shoulder some responsibilities. As the descendants of Yan and Huang, it is incumbent upon us to protect the Chinese civilization of this time and space from destruction.

Li Hao recalled a series of articles he read yesterday, he studied science and was not too familiar with history, so he deliberately downloaded a lot of materials about the Song Dynasty in the computer, but he never had time to read them. Last night he took a look, from the shame of Jingkang to see Zhao Gou fleeing south to establish the Southern Song Dynasty, to see the Mongol invasion, especially to see the description of the Battle of Yashan.

He remembers that passage vividly:

"Lu Xiufu saw that he could not protect the little emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty and escaped, he dressed up in court clothes, held a sword and urged his wife to jump into the sea, and said to the little emperor, 'The state affairs have been completely defeated so far, Your Majesty should die for the country, and do not repeat the mistakes of Emperor Deyou.'" Emperor Deyou was humiliated in most of the distant capitals, and His Majesty must not be humiliated by others again. After saying that, he picked up the eight-year-old little emperor on his back, tied the little emperor and himself with white silk, and then jumped over the side of the boat into the sea. At that time, the wind was sad, the sky and water were colorful, and the sea was vast......"

"Since the Queen Mother down, more than 100,000 court ministers, ** female dependents, and soldiers and people have thrown themselves into the sea to martyrdom, and 100,000 corpses have been floating in the sea area of Houyashan......"

Li Hao was shocked when he saw these shocking words, more than 100,000 people committed suicide, what kind of nation would rather die than give in!

After the First Battle of Yashan, China was completely defeated by foreign tribes for the first time in history.

Naturally, he will not talk about these histories with the Song people, and for the time being, he will not say that he will deal with Jin Bing in the future.

Because no matter what he says, Xiao Zhongzhi will not believe that as long as he operates for a few years, he can easily sweep the Jin Bing. Until he saw it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have understood the power of firearms, or how powerful technology could be.

Li Hao retracted his thoughts, took a sip of tea, and said to Xiao Zhongzhi: "I just came back from overseas, and I am not familiar with the Great Song Dynasty, so I still need to be mentioned by Mr. I don't treat the people around me badly, as long as my husband can really help me, I can keep my husband's family rich and safe. I have learned about the life of my husband, I have read the words written by him, you are an aspiring person. ”

Xiao Zhongzhi shook his head slightly, sighed and said: "Those words were all made when I was young and frivolous, and after so many years, I only feel that the world is difficult." When I returned to Quanzhou from Bianjing, to be honest, I just planned to avoid disaster and prepare to die in Quanzhou, but I didn't expect to meet a strange person like Gongzi. Childe is a person who does great things, thanks to Childe who looks up to me as an old bone, I am willing to saddle the horse and serve Childe, but I want to ask Childe for one thing. ”

"You say."

"If the situation is not good in the future, I want the family to move overseas with Gongzi and leave a bloodline for my Xiao family."

Li Hao smiled: "Don't worry, Jin Bing will probably not go to Quanzhou when he goes south." In case the situation is really bad, your family can also go overseas with me. But I don't believe that day will happen. ”

Xiao Zhongzhi stood up and respectfully waved at Li Hao: "Thank you, son!" I don't have anything to worry about, but I can't worry about my three sons and a daughter. ”

"Sit down, you don't have to be so polite. I invited my husband here today because I want to ask him to help me set up an intelligence organization, you know, shopping malls are like battlefields, you must have first-hand information. In addition to collecting business intelligence, this intelligence organization also has to collect information from the government and grasp the dynamics of officials, so that the incident of the city department will not happen. In addition, we must also listen to the news of Jin Bing, otherwise Jin Bing will go south, and we will still be immersed in business. ”

"How extensive is this intelligence network going to be?"

"The wider the better, I will give you 5,000 yuan first, and you will first recruit some talents and build a basic team. Remember, people have to be competent. ”

Xiao Zhongzhi was taken aback: "Five thousand? There's no need for so much. ”

Li Hao shook his head and said: "Five thousand yuan is only an upfront fund, and it will be several times more in the future." ”

How many times more in the future?! Is this still a business intelligence organization? The espionage organization of the imperial court does not have so much funding.

Li Hao said: "The situation will soon be turbulent, and I will also establish a private army. ”

"This ...... Childe, if the government knows about it, this is a crime of rebellion. ”

"The soldiers are not expensive, and there will not be many private soldiers in this army, so it will not attract too much attention. In addition, it depends on you to deal well with the officials, and the government will only open its eyes and close its eyes. Without private soldiers, how to protect property when troubled times come? Even if you move overseas, you must be protected by private soldiers on the road, and you may encounter pirates at sea. ”

Xiao Zhong thought about it, "The Treasure Pavilion makes a lot of money, plus the opening of the photo studio, with the income of the son, it is enough to raise a private soldier, but it is not easy to get weapons." ”

"I've sent someone to quietly ship this from overseas." Li Hao smiled slightly, with the metallurgical technology of the Song Dynasty, how good can the weapon armor be? Let's figure it out for yourself. Of course, it is impossible for this private army to be equipped with hot weapons for the time being, and even if you have money in the main world, it is not easy to get guns.

The formation of private soldiers has actually begun, and Li Hao has asked Jiang Wuyang to choose a strong one among the slaves and temporarily follow the nursing home to practice martial arts. The next time he comes from the Overworld, Li Hao will bring the army's training plan and officially start training private soldiers.

The two discussed the details of the formation of the intelligence agency again, and it was not until it was close to noon that Li Hao returned to the Li Mansion for lunch. The big mansion in Qingxi Bay was officially renamed Li Mansion by Li Hao.

After lunch, Li Hao called the housekeeper Ding Fu again.

"Lao Ding, I asked you to buy ginseng and cordyceps, how much did you receive?"

Li Hao is going back to the main world, of course, he has to exchange the money of the main world by the way. In fact, the production of silver in the main world is huge, and it is not a good way to bring silver back. And with so many silver ingots, I can't tell the source, it doesn't matter if I sell silver like this for a long time, it's still relatively easy to have an accident.

So this time when he returned to the main world, Li Hao decided to buy precious Chinese medicinal materials and bring them back to sell, mainly wild ginseng. In the Overworld, there is a large market for precious Chinese medicine, and wild ginseng can be sold for a large price.

Moreover, in the main world, wild ginseng is purchased from scattered ginseng farmers, and there are many self-employed people engaged in this business, and others will not doubt the origin of ginseng. In addition, the labor cost of the Northern Song Dynasty was low, and the cost of ginseng was much lower than that of the main world, and there were huge profits in shipping it back.

Ding Fu heard the young master's question, and hurriedly replied: "Childe's purchase volume is too large, which has caused the price of ginseng to rise by two percent, and even the medicinal herb merchants in Hangzhou have shipped the goods. As of yesterday, a total of more than 6,000 ginseng and cordyceps have been purchased. ”

"Okay, immediately send someone to move all the ginseng and cordyceps to the No. 3 warehouse in the garden, and all of them will be moved before the afternoon. You go and arrange for manpower. ”

"Yes, young master, the old slave retreats." He went out to arrange for the long-term workers to carry the medicinal herbs.
