Although my grandfather was extremely wise most of the time, Zhao Hao still had his own persistence.

If he plans to smuggle, why wait until now? After gaining a foothold in Jiangnan, he will show off the Golden Seal of the King of Jinghai. He will not have too much trouble to join the Nine Masters. We will happily make a profit from the price difference between the middlemen. Isn’t it still a pleasure?

Now he has suppressed the Wang family, Hua family, Lu family, Gu family and others for a whole year and has not allowed them to continue smuggling. Isn’t it just to clear their original sin?

In another time and space, history has long eloquently proved that an empire based on smuggling, invasion, and enslavement, no matter how glorious its outer cloak or the sound of the universal slogan, it cannot change its evil and anti-human slave owner nature!

The reason why the Jiangnan rich people changed their course and were willing to follow them was because they promised that they could bring them to make money with them, so that they would not have to worry about humiliating their family, nor did they have to worry about leaving stains in history?

Of course, Zhao Hao never dared to say this, so he had to laugh and said: "It's because my grandson's redirection is too high, so it's not easy to slap himself in the face."

After a pause, he sighed softly: "Besides, the tax burden of the people in Jiangnan is too heavy. They obviously earn more than others, but they are just supporting their families. If the shipping of grain can be successful, their burden will be reduced by at least half, so that they can have the spare money to consume and afford the products of Jiangnan Group."

Although Mr. Zhao has always been looking overseas, he knows that the foundation and most important market of Jiangnan Group are always in China. At present, he has no ability to take into account the entire Ming Dynasty. At least he must boost the consumer market in Jiangnan first?

To boost the consumer market, relying solely on the consumption of a very small number of rich people is useless? You still have to let the people have extra money and dare to spend money to be useless!

"Okay, you kid has your own tricks. This is a good thing. This is the seed of the old Zhao family!" Zhao Liben was not angry, but just looked at Zhao Hao sympathetically and said, "It's just that if you want to shoot a double shot, you have to pay the price of peeling off the skin."

"Anyway, you have to peel off your skin when doing something. Why not do it together and make a big one." Zhao Hao was not afraid of biting if he had too many lice.

"You kid, you are so happy to be so good at me, and you will follow my grandfather." Zhao Liben laughed and cursed: "Okay, grandfather will accompany you to take off this layer of skin."

As he said that, he looked stern and said, "But you have to be careful. The people in Caoyun are not good men and women, and they will not just fight against you on the table. They will definitely use their tricks."

Zhao Hao nodded seriously and said, "Sun'er knows that before coming, he has made various plans with the strategic committee, and the vital departments are on level one alert. Whoever doesn't open their eyes can just let them go!"

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and said domineeringly: "If I hadn't been concerned about the jobs of hundreds of thousands of canal workers, I would not be able to arrange it for the time being. This time, I would be most at ease to completely abolish the canal transportation!

"Okay..." Zhao Liben was shocked by Zhao Hao's sudden domineering aura, and a ball was walking past the hole in front of him.

His mouth twitched and he said depressedly: "But I have to remind you that no matter what the result is, you will completely offend the people of Caoyun. You will suffer from open and secret arrows in the future."

Mr. Zhao then acted as if he was not afraid of boiling water. He opened his arms and said, "Let the storm come more violently!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Liben kicked him in the ass.

"I call you boy crazy!"

"Then what else can I say?" Zhao Hao jumped away while covering his butt.

"I'm asking you to find a target to help you block the arrows." Zhao Liben changed a club, punched the last ball into the last hole, and finished the work.

"It's hard to find such a fool." Mr. Zhao threw his leather bag on the ground, walked with his grandfather under the pergola by the lake, and sat on a rattan chair.

Qiaoqiao quickly served the two of them with iced drinks.

The old man drank Schisandra chinensis water. It is said that this medicinal material, a specialty of Liaodong, can treat insomnia and forgetfulness, and is actually very suitable for Mr. Zhao.

But Zhao Hao couldn't stand the mixed taste, and he still drank his favorite bayberry juice.

"You can still find it after searching carefully." Zhao Liben took a sip of spicy, sweet, sour, bitter and salty Schisandra chinensis water, and his old face wrinkled into chrysanthemums.

Zhao Hao used the wheat straw straw made by Qiaoqiao to comfortably suck the bayberry juice made by Qiaoqiao... and felt comfortable. After feeling the whole body was comfortable, he said lazily: "After thinking about it, there is only one who can make a shield for us, but grandpa and him still have a holiday, so it's not useful."

Zhao Liben was so smart that he knew who he was talking about when he heard it. He shook the glass and sighed: "If you don't mention it, grandpa will also talk to you about Gao Bei. This time I went to Beijing to talk to the old guys, and found that I couldn't stop him. Since that's the case, we should make plans early."

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded. He met Longqing several times, and Longqing mentioned Master Gao several times. In addition, Zhang idol who was obsessed with Gao Suqing, if he hadn't secretly helped him, Li Chunfang would have been unable to suppress Gao Bei's coffin board.

However, when he returned to Beijing, he was not good at taking action under his nose. Otherwise, even if the emperor saw that, the idol Zhang, who had a sharp eye, would have discovered that he had been secretly interfering.

"I think I have the chance, so I might as well talk to him." Zhao Liben took a sip of mixed juice and sighed at the sky: "It's not as good as before. I believe that after being calm in the countryside for two years, he should be much more sensible, right?"

Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard this. Time flies so fast...

He couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, now I can always talk, what are the conflicts between you two?"

But when Zhao Liben's face changed, he gritted his teeth for a while and said, "Don't ask, asking is a deep hatred!"

'It's this sentence again...' Mr. Zhao rolled his eyes helplessly, thinking that the old man had recruited professional hatred back then!

In fact, to be fair, Zhao Hao has a pretty good impression of Gao Huzi. After all, he is also the one with the strongest ruling ability among the three major players of the Ming Dynasty's Zhongxing.

Although he is a fan of Idol Zhang, he still has to admit that the tall beard is so taller than Idol Zhang. Otherwise, Idol Zhang would not have been obsessed with his brother Su Qing coming back.

And there is another very important point. In one year, the Altan tribute incident that is related to the northwest border will happen. Without Gao Suqing's strength to resist the public, Zhang Idol, who is unable to speak up alone, may not be able to suppress those conservative officials. Mr. Zhao has neither the energy nor the ability to interfere with this matter.

But a peaceful Ming Dynasty is the basis for the economic boom in Jiangnan, so from the overall perspective, Mr. Zhao cannot always press Gaoxinzheng in Gaojiazhuang.

Alas, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Gao Beizi comes and goes in a hurry. If you bear it, you will go down...

~~

Zhao Hao's grandson lived in Qilizhuang for a few days. Not long after he returned to the capital, he heard that the urgent report from the Cao Transportation Office had been handed to the capital.

As expected, the "Jiaolai Maritime Transportation Plan" proposed by the Cao Transportation Office indeed caused a strong response.

In addition to the officials of the Caoyun Group, many of them who were unhappy with shipping before, as well as officials from the Jiaodong Peninsula, all came out to support the plan for river-sea transport, and the attached memorial flew to the cabinet like snowflakes.

"Look, there are quite a few people who support Jiaolai shipping." In the cabinet, Li Chunfang looked at the attached memorial with satisfaction. "Sure enough, we still have to 'listen'."

Chen Yiqin, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "It makes sense for Yuan Fu to delay urgent matters. So, if you slow down, you will come up with a new idea."

"Yes." Li Chunfang said complacently: "You have to give everyone enough time to speak, otherwise how can you know what they think?"

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he sneered secretly again, thinking that you care what they think! Just taking care of the people below, you can do nothing?!

"Why would you like to ask Yuanfu and how to write a memorial from the Cao Transport Office?" Chen Yiqin asked Li Chunfang with a smile.

"This matter is very important, so the cabinet should not be arbitrary, so it's better to discuss it in the court." Li Chunfang thought for a moment and said, "Get out the previous sea transportation plan of Jiangnan Group and let the officials choose one. Your Majesty wants us to 'intensify the sea transportation', and we also need to choose the most suitable plan for Your Majesty."

"Yes." Chen Yiqin said, looking at Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng stood up consciously and said, "The official will go back to the payroll room first."

When he walked to the door, he remembered something and turned to the two of them, "By the way, Yuanfu, the guards of the tomb came to report that the former Emperor Yongling's Hall was severely damaged by lightning strikes. Please send officials to investigate and renovate them as soon as possible."

"Well, this is a big deal, and it cannot be delayed." Li Chunfang nodded and said.

"There are legs and feet inconveniences in the high school of the Ministry of Rites, so I'd better take a walk." Zhang Juzheng volunteered.

Li Chunfang didn't want to see him all day long, so she nodded and said, "That's the way, it's a blessing."

"Where is Yuan Fu's words? This is the matter of the subordinates." Now Zhang Juzheng no longer claims to be bullied, and his attitude is still very positive.

~~

The court proposal is similar to the court recommendation. Generally, the cabinet ministers do not participate in order to avoid suspicion, unless it is a particularly important issue, or the emperor feels that the Grand Secretary is necessary to participate.

The issue this time is important enough. After asking Longqing for advice, all the cabinet ministers in Beijing will attend.

A few days before the court meeting, the cabinet issued the issue to the ministers, the Censor of the Court, and the 45 officials who participated in the court meeting, so that they could think fully in advance and how to make a decision.

Zhao Hao naturally saw the plagiarism sent by the plagiarism, and he was not surprised by this. The court discussion was the subject of such a major event. After all, the biggest advantage of collective decision-making is that no one has to be responsible for any problems in the future.

Mr. Zhao was already accustomed to this hypocritical literati democracy, so he and his grandfather counted how many votes could there be.

Compared to last year's Governor Ying Tian's Governor Tingtui, what's more troublesome this time is that there are too many people participating in the court discussion this time, with as many as forty-five people. And there are more than a dozen censors who have a feud with Mr. Zhao.

It's really a life.

This made Zhao Hao calculate over and over again, and even he had no confidence in winning.

While he was frowning, Li Maocai came and brought Li Chunfang's invitation.

"Master, my father wants to treat you to dinner." Li Maocai's face shined, and he felt that he had finally used some use to his master.
