However, Dou Zhao was not satisfied with Fontang's business and proposed to Qin Hao to purchase several sea ships in Futing to prepare for maritime trade.

"Oh, Frost Tang is so rich that she can't satisfy her junior sister's appetite. It seems that her junior sister is very ambitious." Qin Hao plays with the teacup in his hand playfully.

Dou Zhao said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Although Frosang is profitable, only wealthy and nobles in the court can afford it. There is limited room for growth, and this business also depends on the reputation of his senior brother. Otherwise, the small Dou family could not withstand the pressure of the nobles in the court."

"Although the profit of maritime trade is not as good as frosting sugar, it is better because it has a wide coverage and is easy to form a scale. If you gather a small amount and get a lot, you may not be inferior to frosting sugar in the future."

Qin Hao put down the teacup and looked directly at Dou Zhao: "In what year will the Dingguo Guild eliminate Japanese pirates and pirates?"

"24th year of Chengping." Dou Zhao hesitated for a moment and revealed the key information.

"It's the ninth year of Chengping, which means it will take 15 years for Duke Ding to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates and pirates."

Qin Hao frowned slightly. He finally understood why Jiang Meisun must die. Even without King Qing, Zhu Jianshen would not let Jiang Meisun go.

You should know that when Zhu Jianshen sent Jiang Meisun to Jinghai to eliminate the Japanese pirates, he had just taken power for a while. In other words, it took Jiang Meisun at least twenty years from receiving the order to completing Zhu Jianshen's mission.

That's twenty years. How many twenty years can an emperor have?

When Zhu Jianshen needed political achievements and prestige the most, Jiang Meisun did not give him any support. On the contrary, Zhu Jianshen withstood the pressure in the court, gave money to others, and always supported Jiang Meisun's Dingguo Army.

However, judging from the performance of the Dingguo Army later, Jiang Meisun completely trained the Dingguo Army into his army, which was already a way to die.

Later, Zhu Jianshen sent the prince to provide disaster relief, but Jiang Meisun was completely unwilling to buy it and opened the warehouse and released grain in advance, which meant that the Dingguo used the imperial court's grain to buy people's hearts. No emperor could have kept him.

"Since you know that it will take another fifteen years for Duke Ding to complete Jinghai and have bet so early, aren't you afraid of being robbed by Japanese pirates and losing both people and money?"

Dou Zhao replied calmly: "Although it will take 24 years for the complete extermination of the Japanese pirates to be Chengping, the Duke of Ding will be able to wipe out the two largest pirates in the past two years. The risk of being robbed will be greatly reduced by then. Now everyone is afraid of the Japanese pirates and does not dare to go to sea. At this time, we will make huge profits when going to sea. As long as our luck is not too bad, even if we are robbed, the profit provided by the remaining ships will be enough to make up for the losses."

"Since my junior sister is confident, then the maritime trade business is also considered a share of the senior brother."

"I have prepared it for my senior brother a long time ago. This is a contract letter."

Qin Hao laughed and scolded: "You have dug a hole long ago and are waiting for me to jump."

Dou Zhao smiled implicitly: "Senior brother is joking, how dare you, little sister, just be prepared for any trouble."

There is only Dou Zhao’s signature and handprint on the contract, and Qin Hao does not need to sign it. After all, his identity is special.

"Futing, I will find a way to find someone to manage it, and you can do business with peace of mind."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Dou Zhao slowly went downstairs with two martial maids. Qin Hao drank the tea in the teacup in one go, and then said to Ma Quan beside him: "I remember Futing is the territory of Zhongqinhou?"

"Go back to Your Highness, the prince of Zhongqin is now serving in the Jinwu Guard."

"Oh, then I'll make an appointment for a cup of tea tomorrow."

The next day, the dim sunlight tried to penetrate the thin clouds and fell on his body in strands. Qin Hao wore a moon-white brocade robe and waved a folding fan in his hand. Although he was still young, he was tall and straight, like a powerful young man.

"You are here, please, do you want a seat or a family?" The waiter bent over and smiled.

Qin Hao winked at Ma Quan, and Ma Quan threw out a piece of silver: "Captain Zhongqin Hou is here?"

"Here, it's just in the second floor private room, the younger one will take you two." Xiao Er smiled and held the broken silver. It's rare for such a arrogant customer to see.

In the private room upstairs, when the prince of Zhongqin wearing a navy blue robe saw Qin Hao, he was about to salute him, but he was stopped by his eyes. The former immediately understood and said to the waiter with a stern face: "You don't need to serve here anymore, go out."

"Okay, Prince, please say hello if you have something to do."

Qin Hao sat down on the main seat casually, then folded his fan and smiled at the prince of Zhongqin, Lu Wenzhong, saying, "It's just a free time to invite the prince to talk about the past. There is no need to be so reserved, just sit down."

"Thank you for giving the throne." Lu Wenzhong did not dare to neglect at all. If it were the eighth year of Chengping, he would not take this ninth prince with little presence seriously. However, time has changed, this man has been named King of Qin. Although he has not yet been granted a vassal, he has obviously received attention from the emperor.

The emperor had only three sons in total. Although the Qin king had a shallow foundation and the possibility of inheriting the throne was almost zero, who could say this? Taking a step back, according to the prince's kindness, if the prince ascended the throne, he would definitely treat the Qin king well.

This probability is enough to attract Lu Wenzhong's attention.

After seeing Ma Quan withdraw, Lu Wenzhong also tactfully asked his close servant to follow him, and then he made tea by himself.

The fragrance of tea filled the entire private room. The rich fragrance of tea mixed with the faint bamboo fragrance in the air, making people feel comfortable when they smell it. Qin Hao smiled slightly: "The prince is quite accomplished in this tea ceremony."

"Where is there, it's just a little bit of art and elegance. You can't praise His Highness of the King of Qin." Lu Wenzhong laughed with her, feeling uneasy. Although this King of Qin is young, the pressure he puts on him is not inferior to that of King Yu Qing at all.

"The prince doesn't need to be nervous. To be honest, I still have something to ask for in today."

Lu Wenzhong's heart skipped a beat: "Your Highness has something to do and just give in to Wenzhong, don't break the evil spirit."

"Look at you, you're here again." Qin Hao shook his head and said casually: "I heard that Zhongqin Hou's Mansion has many industries in Futing?"

Lu Wenzhong complained secretly, thinking that someone else had committed a crime at home, so he could only answer with a grudge: "Report to Your Highness, the lineage of Zhongqin Hou has settled in Futing since the Taizu period. There are indeed some industries, but recently, the Japanese pirates and pirates have been in chaos, and there are no more than one ten of the industries in the family, and it is difficult to sustain..."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, I won't borrow money from you, why are you so poor?" Qin Hao looked stern: "My junior sister, I plan to open a marine trading business in Futing, and I will ask the prince to take care of him."

Qin Hao did not propose to let Lu Wenzhong invest, but it was not that he was reluctant to give up the dividends in the future, but that Lu Wenzhong would not want them. After all, compared with this "small profit", it was too unwise to tie the entire Zhongqin Marquis' Mansion to Qin Hao's pirate ship.

When Lu Wenzhong heard this, he suddenly let out a long sigh. He was shocked because he was so angry that he felt cold sweat.

He immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, your highness, this matter is covered by my Marquis Zhongqin's mansion. As long as it is in the territory of Futing, he will do his best to arrange it properly and will never let your junior sister be hindered."

"I just don't know if your junior sister is..."

"Dou family's eldest daughter, Dou Zhao."

“Oh~~~”

After Lu Wenzhong walked out of the private room, he showed a meaningful smile.

Three days later, Dou Zhao was reconciling accounts in the room, and his cousin Zhao Zhangru suddenly broke in.

"Cousin, have you told you that I have nothing to do with this month's account, so don't bother me."

Zhao Zhangru sat down beside Dou Zhao, and Guru poured all the tea in the teapot. After a while, he pulled Dou Zhao's arm and said anxiously: "Shou Gu, you still have the intention to read the account book here. Something big happened."

"What happened?" Dou Zhao was a little confused. According to her memory, nothing big seemed to have happened in the nine years of Chengping.

Zhao Zhangru leaned into Dou Zhao's ear and lowered his voice and said, "It's been rumored that you have an affair with His Highness of the King of Qin, and he also said that His Highness of the King of Qin is forcing the Marquis of Jining to retire from you."

"What? Your Highness and King Qin are all messy." Dou Zhao was stunned.

"I don't know, since the capital is so popular now, you even say that in order to climb high, Wei Tingyu, the son of Jining Hou, took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, saying that you are a vicious... Anyway, a lot of messy dirty water is poured on you."

Zhao Zhangru asked carefully: "Shou Gu, you haven't offended anyone recently, have you?"

"We were together all day except for going to the toilet, and the rest of the time we spent together. You don't know if I offend anyone?" Dou Zhao gave Zhao Zhangru a blank look.

"That's right. Could it be that His Highness of Qin offended people and affected the fish in the pond?" Zhao Zhangru slapped his forehead.

Dou Zhao frowned slightly, but this possibility was quickly ruled out. After all, this scammering incident could not threaten the position of the King of Qin at all.

At this moment, a majestic voice came from outside the door.

"Can Shou Gu be inside?"

"Fifth Master..."

When Dou Zhao heard that Dou Shishu was coming, he frowned, but he still shouted to the outside: "Fifth uncle is welcome, I forgive Dou Zhao for being in trouble."

After Dou Shishu entered the study room, he frowned when he looked at the table of accounts, but then he stretched out again and said in a kind tone: "Shou Gu, you are so hardworking for the common people in the mansion at such a young age. It really makes the fifth uncle feel unbearable."

"This is all the words Dou Zhao is willing to do, and he should not work hard." After Dou Zhao said that, he looked at his nose and nose. She had no longer had any patience for this powerful fifth uncle.

Dou Shishu coughed twice and lowered his voice and said, "Shou Gu, a rumor about you and Your Highness of Qin has been circulating in the capital recently..."

"The fifth uncle said it was a rumor, so why don't the rumors stop at the wise?"

Dou Zhao choked all Dou Shishu's words into his throat with one sentence. It was really uncomfortable and he couldn't vomit it out.

After a while, Dou Shishu took a breath: "Shou Gu, Uncle Wu knows that you don't want Wang Yingxue to enter the mansion, but Wang Yingxue is already pregnant with your father's flesh and blood. If this matter is not handled properly, not only will your father's hard work be lost for twenty years, but the entire Dou Mansion will be in a slump."

"Shou Gu, Uncle Wu hopes that you can understand that if you can't write two characters in one stroke, we are a family that will prosper and lose both of them."

Dou Zhao was silent for a long time and said coldly: "What about my mother? She is not the surname Dou, but she has been in charge of this family for many years, and has suffered so much pain and crimes in order to make my father suffer in high school. As a result, her body is not cold. Wu Uncle, you will sit with the father who was the culprit of her killing her and have a great chat. If His Highness of the King of Qin had not helped her, I am afraid that Wang Yingxue would have become the mistress of the Dou family at this moment, right?"

"Fifth uncle, are you in your eyes? As long as you are to shine your family, everything can be sacrificed?"

Dou Shishu, who has always been known for his eloquence, suddenly found that he was actually asked by a nine-year-old girl.

After a while, Dou Shishu said bitterly: "Shou Gu, if you are a man, if you get to my position, you will understand that many things have to be paid."

"If the fifth uncle also had children, would you sacrifice them for the so-called family glory?"

"Yes! As long as you have the surname Dou, you must be prepared to sacrifice for the Dou family, even my biological children are no exception!"

Dou Shishu couldn't help but see the faces of his two dead wives. If he were content to be a sesame official, perhaps there should be a pair of children who are happy under the paint at this moment, right?

"Shou Gu, tell the fifth uncle the truth, is Your Highness the King of Qin interested you? Didn't you always oppose your marriage to the Jining Marquis' Mansion? I believe that in a few days, the Jining Marquis' Mansion will come to discuss resigning from the marriage..."

Dou Zhao heard this, but there was no joy at all. Wei Tingyu felt disgusted as soon as she thought of it, but marrying the King of Qin is undoubtedly another deeper vortex. If you are not careful, you will be torn to pieces and even implicated your relatives. Unlike Dou Shishu, she only wants to climb up. She would rather not get married for the rest of her life and live a simple life than take risks with her relatives' lives.

"Fifth uncle, stop dreaming. Your Highness, the King of Qin, is just taking care of me for my father's sake."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Dou Shishu's eyes.

"Since that's the case, there's no need to retire this marriage."

Dou Zhao did not speak. She had some way to retire the marriage of the Jining Marquis Mansion, but if it involved the King of Qin, the emperor would have no room for maneuver when he opened his words.

At the same time, Qin Hao also learned from Ma Quan about the rumors about him and Dou Zhao.

"Is it King Qing or Queen Wan?"

The rumors spread so quickly, it was obvious that someone was behind the scenes. The purpose was naturally to ruin his reputation and the dignified Qin King robbed the prince of the Marquis's father's father's daughter.

What is even more interesting is that after so long, Zhu Jianshen, the cheap father, should have heard the rumors from the movie editor, but he did not summon him. It cannot be ruled out that the cheap father was making trouble behind the scenes?

"Interesting, it seems that the water in this capital is getting more and more muddy."

The next day, when Qin Hao came to Wenhua Hall for class, the prince called him aside, and Zhihuzhe also said a lot, and summed up in one sentence, it was really indecent to take over the baby marriage of his subordinates.

Qin Hao was about to explain, but King Qing, who was late, patted his chest and said, "The little Jining Marquis Mansion dared to compete with the Ninth Brother for women. If you only have a word from me, I will go to Jining Marquis Mansion immediately and keep them in mind to go to Dou's Mansion to withdraw from the marriage."

"You are helping the evildoer." The prince was so angry that he couldn't make a strong way.
