Chapter 99 The son is really a god

Happy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is June 1st.

This day, the sky was full of lead clouds and heavy rain poured.

Dense raindrops hit the tiles, and there were muffled thunder in the distance from time to time.

Zhao Hao and his son sat bored at the door of the main hall, watching the rain gathering under the eaves into a waterfall, splashing on the blue bricks on the ground.

"Oh, it's really boring to take a day off, but I'm trapped at home by heavy rain." Zhao Shouzheng sighed helplessly, looking at Zhao Hao and said, "Son, can you write a poem for this feeling?"

"I'm not in the mood." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes.

Wang Wuyang, who was standing beside him, volunteered: "If the master does not dislike him, the disciple will be willing to write a song for the master."

"Go to play." Zhao Hao waved his hand and said angrily: "If you have this free time, it's better to read books with your master."

Wang Wuyang was bored and shut up obediently.

Zhao Hao has been quite irritable recently and naturally has a little bit of temper. This made Wang Wuyang self-examination. Has he not done well enough to make his master angry again?

Little did they know that Zhao Hao was just waiting for a news.

In theory, that incident had already happened a few days ago, but there was no telephone number in this era. I don’t know when the news will reach Nanjing!

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded on the roof, which made Zhao Hao come to his senses. He saw a man wearing a straw raincoat and wooden clogs rushing in from outside.

When the man came into the main hall with a full body of water vapor, took off his watery hat, and showed a fat face full of shock.

"Hey, Boss Tang, it's still going out after such heavy rain?" Zhao Shouzheng looked at Tang Youde strangely. Tang Youde often came to find Zhao Hao these days, and the two of them became familiar with each other.

Tang Youde was so panting that he couldn't speak, so he bowed to Zhao Hao to the end, and kept bowing his hands while trying hard: "Young master... is really... a god!"

"Oh? Have you received the message?" Zhao Hao also looked excited.

"Yes!" Tang Youde nodded and said in a trembling voice: "I just received the news from the Chamber of Commerce. On the 23rd of last month, the emperor approved Gao Gong's resignation. On the 27th, this matter was reported in the palace. It was completely true and there was no reason to change it!"

"Ah?!" Before Zhao Hao could speak, Zhao Shouzheng stood up excitedly, pointed at his son and said stutteringly: "You, you said last time that Gao Xinzheng would step down before June?"

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had known this would happen, he still felt a big stone removed from his heart.

"Wow, I'm sorry to say that Zhuge is wronged again!" Zhao Shouzheng was both surprised and happy, and shouted with joy, "Hahaha, my surname is Gao, you have today too!"

After saying that, he didn't even wear a raincoat, rushed into the rain curtain and went to announce the good news to his elder brother.

Fang Wen immediately flashed out, followed closely behind, and set up a tin umbrella for the master.

In the main hall, Qiao Qiao brought a cloth towel to Tang Youde and served ginger tea.

Fatty Tang wrapped in Zhao Shouzheng's robe, holding ginger tea, and said to Zhao Hao tremblingly: "From now on, the young master will let me go east, but I will never go west. If I ask me to catch a dog, I will never chase chickens! In short, I will listen to the young master!"

"You are taking advantage of my master." Wang Wuyang put a small charcoal basin in front of him and curled his lips, "I don't know how many years of good deeds you have done, and you have made friends with my master."

"Hey, if you say this, wouldn't you be even more blessed?" Tang Youde is envious of this eldest disciple Zhao Hao who always looks down on him. "You can't learn a lot of skills after following the young master all day?"

"That's nature." Wang Wuyang raised his head proudly.

Zhao Hao smiled and listened to the two of them praising him. Although the rain continued to rain outside, his mood was very bright.

At least in the past two years, you don’t have to worry about the thunder that may fall at any time. You can let go of your hands and feet and do something.

He was thinking about where to start when he heard Tang Youde ask: "Young master, the price of silk on the market has risen to eight or nine cents... I heard that Su Song has risen to one or two ounces. Has anyone heard any news?"

Now, Tang Youde has no doubt that the court will definitely ban the sea.

"That's for sure." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Su Song raised the price first, which means that the news was leaked there. Since everyone else has done this, this matter will be done in a blink of an eye."

Tang Youde knew that Su Song was the territory of the Xu family. If the imperial court really wanted to open the sea, the Xu family would definitely receive the news first. The reason why silk prices have not soared was that they secretly bought low according to the price. When the news of opening the sea came out, they would swell up the silk prices and make countless profits inside and outside!

So he felt endless pride. Unexpectedly, our young master had already seen through your thoughts and had completed the layout in advance!

Just when he thought that the two of them had collected only more than 10,000 kilograms of silk, he felt very sorry. He should have smashed all his money into the beginning and collected more silk!

Thinking of this, Tang Youde looked at Zhao Hao and asked tentatively: "Young Master, do you think we can buy silk now?"

Zhao Hao shook his head.

"Ah, is the time inappropriate?" Tang Youde was disappointed.

"I can't buy much money now, so it's boring." But Zhao Hao leaned on the recliner, looking like he didn't want to think about it anymore.

In fact, Zhao Hao is playing tricks on Fatty Tang again.

In May, he divided the price of Weijixian again with 800 taels. It was hot recently and he didn't go out much, so he naturally didn't have much expenses. With the previous financial resources, it would be fine to get 2,000 taels.

Besides, there is also the 500 acres of land that my uncle transferred to him. Zhao Hao asked Chief Yu Jia to find someone to evaluate. Half of the 500 acres of land are barren mountains and half are barren land, and there is not much land that can be cultivated... But no matter what, this is the 500 acres of land in Nanjing City, and it can be paid for a thousand taels of silver from the pawn shop.

However, the price of silk has doubled, and now the price of 3,000 taels of silver is less than 4,000 kilograms of silk, so it is not completely unreasonable for Zhao Hao to say this.

Seeing that Zhao Hao seemed to be unrelated and lacking in interest, Tang Youde smiled with knowledge and said, "This time I spent all my capital, and I will still share the amount of money I earn equally. Is it okay for the young master to only make an idea?"

"What kind of money-making business is necessary to bring me a monk!"

Then he heard a clear voice interject.

The three of them looked up and saw Xuelang slowly entering the yard wearing a white monk's robe.

It was raining so heavily that the monk's robes on him were not touched by the fact that Master Xuelang had any extraordinary magical skills. But there were four little novice monks around him... Two of them were carrying a carriage, and two of them held a huge double-handled umbrella, blocking the range of several feet around him tightly. Naturally, no rain could invade him.

Then he saw the little shaman reaching the door of the main hall before he lifted the carriage. Xuelang got up and raised his legs into the main hall.

What does it have to do with the heavy rain outside the house?

Tang Youde was just sighing at the monk's wealth and honor, but when Xue Lang lifted the bottom of his robe, he actually knelt in front of Zhao Hao with all his might.

"Master Zhao is a god. Please help the monk. If you can help the monk through this level, I will believe you except Buddha in the future!"
