The old man and uncle also took the sea route, and they walked into Beijing before Zhao Hao.

They only took a boat and quietly entered Dagukou, no one noticed it.

That night, the old man lived in the main courtyard, Zhao Xian and his son lived in the East Triple Courtyard, and Zhao Hao and his disciples lived in the West Triple Courtyard, and the side courtyards on both sides were for the guards and entourage. The people in charge of the house were all the old men from Chunsong Hutong, and they arranged them properly without any further words, which was very worry-free.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the disciples rushed to pour the room pot for the master, but the elder brother robbed him first.

"I can finally serve my master again." Wang Wuyang held Zhao Hao's chamber pot and burst into tears with excitement. "It's been 331 days since I waited for a day."

Qiaoqiao was extremely glad to see this. Fortunately, Sister Ma came early to shout, otherwise she would have to be blocked in the bed by these reckless apprentices.

Don’t think about it! In this era, the large-scale beds that wealthy families slept in were just like a suite. The inner room was the place where the owner sleeps, separated by a green gauze cabinet in the middle, and a small bed was also placed outside, which was the bed for the maid to serve the owner sleeping at night. Therefore, there is a saying that a girl is connected to the room.

Zhao Hao had nightmares at night and would often get up in the middle of the night to drink water. Qiaoqiao and Ma Xianglan had long been used to taking turns to serve him to sleep.

The two knew that after he came to the capital, they would definitely have nightmares when they changed places. Qiaoqiao slept outside last night as usual. But before dawn, she was called by the careful sister Ma. As soon as she had packed up the bedding, she saw Wang Wuyang rushing into Zhao Hao's bedroom...

~~

Mr. Zhao rubbed his sleepy eyes, washed his teeth under the service of his disciples, and dressed neatly. Then he went to the main courtyard to accompany the old man to breakfast.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Zhao Liben was wearing reading glasses and reading a newspaper. He was very uncomfortable when he saw Zhao Hao getting up so early.

"I'm not waiting for time." Mr. Zhao said a little depressedly, "How can you sleep in if you have a few unethical apprentices who are rushing to pour the chamber pot?"

"Ahem..." Zhao Shouye was almost choked by a mouthful of tea and said with a wry smile: "Three Hanlins are rushing to pour the chamber pot, this is the treatment that the emperor does not have."

"Brother is rare, let them pour you out tomorrow." Zhao Hao teased and asked, "Where is the eldest brother?"

"I'm going to work," Zhao Shouye said happily and distressedly: "I'm busy with Xishan Company during the day and go to Xiqian at night. This child has changed a lot."

"Brother Wu is now the head of the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department, and it is not a big deal to welcome and see him off in the restaurant all day long." Zhao Hao took the spoon presented by the maid, and while slowly eating tofu flowers, he said to Zhao Shouye:

"Don't worry, I won't delay my brother's lifelong affairs. At the end of the month, I will transfer someone from Jinling to serve him and let my brother concentrate on getting married."

Zhao Hao's candidate is Si Ya, but it's not that he can't trust the current shopkeeper. Instead, he can't let the couple live in a long time. Wu Yu did a good job in Xishan Company and could not get back, so he had to transfer Si Ya to Beijing.

"Hey, isn't the uncle who doesn't know what's going on?" Zhao Shouye hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Young people have to take more responsibility to make progress." He said with a look of relief: "Zhao Xian has become a different person this year, which shows that he has to beat him more."

"Yeah." Zhao Yun, who lowered her head to eat, nodded in agreement. The little girl finally walked out of the shadow of her parents' divorce and no longer felt like she was pricking her mouth.

After the family had breakfast, Zhao Shouye took his daughter to go shopping. His son was going to get married, so he asked the yamen for half a year off... In fact, no one cared if he didn't go back for a year.

The Zhao family’s uncle felt a little sad while he was happy.

After Zhao Shouye left, Zhao Liben threw down the mansion and asked Zhao Hao what he had talked to the emperor yesterday.

Zhao Hao said it all in detail.

When Zhao Hao heard that Longqing had high hopes for the prince and hoped to cultivate a revival lord, Zhao Liben couldn't help laughing. Although he did not comment, his disdain was beyond words.

In fact, the old man wanted to say that I wanted to train a top scorer at the beginning!

But when the words came to my mouth, I realized that my unsatisfactory second son had indeed won the top scorer.

Then he swallowed the conversation, and it was hard to say that Long Qing was just thinking about it.

"It's not me that the prince of the Ming Dynasty had problems at the root." The old man changed his attack angle and said, "In order to avoid foreign relatives interfering in politics, he was over-corrected and specially asked the daughters of small families to breed their sons. What good princes can this village girl teach? It's almost the same to teach a bricklayer..."

Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly. The old man looked down on the Ming Dynasty royal family. But it seems that it doesn't make any sense. The mother is the child's first teacher, and the child raised by an excellent mother is extraordinary.

But are there few systems like this insidious in the Ming Dynasty? He can do nothing.

However, after the old man talked, he still reminded Zhao Hao to pay attention to the opportunity to contact the prince. People will infinitely amplify their childhood feelings, which is very important to him and the Zhao family, so they must use their brains.

Zhao Hao thought so too, so he naturally nodded and responded. Speaking of Xu Jie's special project, Zhao Liben said in a deep voice:

"I found out that Xu Jie sent someone from Lu Guang to work with the Xu family in the capital to move around. It was about to cause some storm. As a result, as soon as the news of Lin Run woke up came, those people immediately calmed down."

"This is naturally. Who is not worried that Lin Zhongcheng has the ironclad evidence of the Xu family's illegality? Who dares to jump out as a target before he makes a move?" Zhao Hao said with a smile.

In fact, all the evidence was burned in the fire. But no one dared to use his career and reputation to bet. Is Lin Run still having a killer move?

"Anyway, Hai Gangfeng can hold the position of Governor Yingtian with such a struggle, and it is really auspicious." Zhao Liben glanced at Zhao Hao with a deep meaning and said, "I don't know why you are better for him and Lin Run than for you?"

"Who can compare to your old man when grandpa said this?" Mr. Zhao hurriedly poured tea and massaged Zhao Liben's back with a shy face, and sweared that his grandfather was ranked first. Only then did he comfort the arrogant old man.

~~

The two of them finally talked about the main business of entering Beijing this time.

After listening to Zhao Hao's story, Zhao Liben frowned and sighed: "You are right in your judgment. You have to take a saw for a while. If you don't do it, you have to fight."

"My posture is so low," Zhao Hao muttered unhappily: "Just just supplement the Caoyun, do you also need to exert brain energy?"

"For some people, the word "sea transportation" cannot be mentioned." Zhao Liben smiled bitterly: "I have explored the words of the former Cao Governor. He said that there is a consensus among the canal transportation yamen, that is, the sea transportation opening cannot be opened, and if it is not done well, it will be a thousand-mile dike and collapse into an ant hole."

"So serious?" Mr. Zhao frowned.

"Ryukyu and the South China countries come to pay tribute every year. Every year, I have never seen anyone overturn the boat a few times. Not to mention that the people come from Thailand tens of thousands of miles away. Isn't it also a boat? Now Fujian has also opened the sea, and there are so many boats among the people every year. As long as they are not blind, everyone knows that the sea is not so dangerous." Zhao Liben said, brows raised and looked at himself: "When Zheng He went to the West for seven times, the red-haired ghost was still mixing with urine and mud at home!"

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded slightly. Through contact with the eldest princess and the emperor, he found that they did not regard going to sea as a big deal. Obviously, in a country that once conquered the ocean, no one would really fear the ocean.

"But the more this happens, the more guilty the group of people who eat canal food. They want to block everyone's mouths and let no one in the court mention those two terrible words, so that they can feel at ease." Zhao Liben put down the teacup and said sarcastically: "This clumsy trick of covering the ears and stealing the bell can continue to be performed, which shows that the Ming Dynasty is about to perish!"

Mr. Zhao was helpless. Although the old man was convinced by him, his prejudice against the Ming Dynasty was deeply rooted.

"Then let's find a few more mouths to talk to, they can't block them." Zhao Hao hurriedly cheered the old man and said, "I will hold a shareholders' meeting of Xishan Company and propose to jointly transport the Jiangnan Company. I don't believe that those people can block all my shareholders' mouths!"

"Well." These are all things planned. Zhao Liben naturally knew about it for a long time. Gu Pan nodded and said, "Those guys didn't meet our men, otherwise they would have knelt down to the uncle."

"Okay, okay! Grandpa is so imposing!" Mr. Zhao hurriedly flattered and inspired his grandpa to connect with more companies.

~~

When Zhao Hao returned to the Xiqianyuan, Tang Youde, Sun Dawu and Guo Da had been waiting there for a long time.

The former brought a thick stack of accounts of Xishan Company, while the latter brought accounts of the Lugou Bridge Coal Farm, and asked the young master to take the account himself.

Although they immediately sent the general ledger to Jiangnan after the settlement at the end of the year, the important thing is to let the young master see their correct attitude.

"Stop, just put it here, I will look back." But I didn't know that Mr. Zhao was so popular that he was too lazy to read the accounts. However, among the escort he brought, there were four professional accounts, so he turned around and asked them to review them slowly.

When Zhao Hao saw that the recliner and fruit plate had been arranged in the yard, he couldn't help but wink at Qiaoqiao. Sister Qiaoqiao was just caring and hadn't forgotten this hobby.

He collapsed comfortably on the recliner and asked several people to sit down at the next to him. "You did a good job last year, and you exceeded the original plan by half. I'm very satisfied."

"Hehe..." The three of them felt relieved, and Fatty Tang said intrigue: "It is our mission to satisfy the young master."

"Everything is the layout of the young master. We are just doing it on orders. Just don't ruin the young master's big affairs." The fat little black man Guo Da also offered pure flattery.

"But compared to the young master's work in Jiangnan, Xishan Company can only be considered a small fuss." Sun Dawu was still the same, knowing how to do things and not talking.

"Hahaha, don't worry." Zhao Hao sat up, patted his round belly and said, "I'm here to take you to have fun! After it is made, I will pack your famous ones."

"Oh?" The three of them immediately looked shining. The young master finally remembered that he had a group of loyal and capable subordinates in Beijing.

"What do you want us to do? Young Master, let's talk!"

"You should inform me when you go back. Xishan Company will hold an extraordinary board meeting tomorrow morning and you will know when the time comes." Zhao Hao was too lazy to say it again.
Chapter completed!
