Speaking of pea, I have to talk about Zheng Yan.

This guy ran back and forth between Qizhou and Chang'an for ten days, not only did he say that he had to communicate with Li Hao, his father, his grandfather, and he was also responsible for handling grain transportation and other matters. He was so busy that he was fascinated.

When I returned to Qishan County again, the first thing I did was to find a place to rest.

I don't care about anything anymore, it's too tiring!

Although Qizhou is not far from Chang'an, Zheng Yan is not a thick-skinned man. He ran more than a thousand miles in ten days. His cheeks were so tired that he had shrunk, his eye sockets were deep, and his huge dark circles pressed against his face were almost like he had a pair of sunglasses.

Although Zheng Qian is also tired, at least he has been working well for years as a housekeeper and can still hold on.

After learning that Li Hao had gone to Chen Cang, he entrusted the young master to a hundred guards, and he led dozens of people to continue on the road to Chen Cang.

This does not mean that Qian Zheng is concerned about Li Hao's affairs. In his words, a thousand heads were knocked down. I don't care about the last trembling, so let's continue.

...

Wang Yuande, the legitimate son of the Wang family, is now twenty-six years old.

He was wearing a plain silk robe, a black bat-patterned jade belt tied around his waist, and a pair of bright peach blossom eyes shining with waves. He was tall and outstanding, and looked like Pan An was full of energy.

Although this was the first time Li Hao met Wang Yuande, he still gave a very pertinent evaluation, and he was a greasy and pink-faced young man.

"The Li family's virtuous brother, the young actor Wang Yuande, and the family's ancestor Wang..." After confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Li Hao, Wang Yuande gave a scholarly gift very casually, and then began to introduce his identity.

At first glance, he is a freshman, commonly known as a croaker.

When Li Hao patiently heard him talk about his eight generations of ancestors, he finally couldn't help it. He waved his hand and interrupted him, "It turned out to be Brother Wang Shi. I don't know why he came to Qizhou with such a noble identity as Brother Wang Shi?"

"Oh, don't blame me, my brother was negligent in this matter." Wang Yuande said with no embarrassment on his face, "Actually, my brother's main purpose is to see if he needs any help. After all, we are all in the same family and seven people, and my brother is in Qizhou..."

"Cough..." Behind Wang Yuande, the butler who accompanied him coughed heavily, intending to remind Wang Yuande that he had said enough.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuande turned around and glared at him: "What a cough, if you feel uncomfortable, go to rest early. I and my brother from the Li family hit it off at first sight. I want to talk to you at night with candles and have a good chat."

The butler wailed in his heart, and his eyes when he looked at Wang Yuande changed.

In the past, I always felt that my son was elegant and handsome, and he had the demeanor of a noble family. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the first son of Chang'an.

But unexpectedly, when I encountered serious things, all my young master's weaknesses were exposed. Every word and action was full of silly smell. What about talking about it at night? It was just a few words. Before I could talk about it for a while, I was about to expose my purpose of coming. If I really chatted all night, I would probably even be deceived by the boy opposite me.

Li Hao was also confused. He didn't care what happened at first sight. The key was what Wang Yuande said before.

What are the five surnames and seven hopes that are in harmony with each other? What are the information they provide? The amount of information is so large.

Thinking of this, Li Hao changed his previous coldness, smiled and stepped forward to hold Wang Yuande, and squeezed the housekeeper aside: "Brother Wang Shi, you are really a timely rain. I have no say. Today, we will not return without getting drunk, so we must have a good chat."

Seeing Li Hao so enthusiastic, Wang Yuande thought that Chang'an had said that this person was not fake to anyone, and suddenly felt a sense of superiority in his heart, and laughed: "Hahaha..., let's go, we treat you to me today, and we will not return without getting drunk."

It's over, now I guess my young master's underwear can't be kept.

The housekeeper who knows what kind of personality Wang Yuande is was crying and tears were still in tears. Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving each other, there was only one question in his heart: People are too real, how can they solve it?

...

In the largest restaurant in Chencang City, Li Hao spent a large wallet to get all the banquets for the day and drove out the few diners in the store.

Given Li Hao's identity, the customers in the store not only dared not say anything, but when they left, they took the initiative to ask for payment on their behalf, which was so polite.

Seeing this, Wang Yuande admired Li Hao more and more, and sighed sincerely: "My brother is really popular. He can actually make the Qizhou Prefecture so polite to me, which makes me admire you very much."

Li Hao was slightly stunned, thinking that this person beside him was really not in the world or was he deliberately disgusted with him?

What does the gentry wanting to treat themselves to dinner have to do with the good or bad things in the countryside? It is obvious that he is optimistic about his identity as a founding county and the background of the Duke of Wei, so he deliberately cursed so much.

But then again, he himself can't afford a meal, so there is no need to give favors on such trivial matters.

What's more, if you really ask these people to pay for it, should you call the person up and sit with you for a while when you are having a meal? It seems inhumane if you don't call it, and it will be annoying if you call it up.

Thinking of this, Li Hao waved his hand and politely rejected the invitation from the gentry. After everyone left, he went up to the second floor and sighed: "Brother doesn't know anything. Those people are not polite to me. They clearly want to climb up the high branch of my brother, so they use me as an introduction."

Wang Yuande looked shocked: "Oh? Do they recognize me?"

"Of course, no one knows the name of Brother Wang in the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention Qizhou, which is adjacent to Chang'an, just talk about Tuyuhun I went to Tuyuhun a few days ago. I heard people mention Brother Wang's name more than once."

"Is this true? Unexpectedly, my reputation has spread to the Western Regions. Oh my, if it weren't for my brother's mention, I wouldn't know anything about this."

"The brother is not aware of it because others are jealous of his brother's talent and avoid talking about it. And to be honest, if I were not infected by his brother's talent this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't say this."

Anyone who is present can tell that Li Hao is just talking serious.

But Wang Yuande believed it, and he was so happy that he smiled and kept rude, which made the butler behind him feel embarrassed and wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in.

After chatting for a while, a restaurant staff delivered the meal, four cold dishes and eight hot dishes, all with all the colors, fragrance and flavor, making people feel very happy at first glance.

It was noon, and Wang Yuande was also hungry. After a few words of politeness with Li Hao, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the dish was in the mouth, Xiao Wang widened his eyes and couldn't help but speed up his chewing speed. The chopsticks in his hand were stretched to the plate again, and he said in his mouth: "I really didn't expect that the little Chen Cang was so delicious, and the taste was no worse than the food in Chang'an. My brother has lived here for a long time and has a good taste."

"Haha..." Li Hao laughed and took a sip of the dish, "Brother misunderstood. In fact, it is not that Chen Cang's food tastes good, but that it is added with a seasoning that my brother brought back from overseas, so the taste is so delicious."

Wang Yuande paused and blurted out: "Seasoning? What seasoning?"

"Hehe..." Li Hao smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

Xiao Wang also felt that he had lost his words and said embarrassedly: "Don't blame me, brother, I didn't deliberately spy on other people's privacy. I really think that if I can't eat such delicious food when I go back to Chang'an in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to eat it."

Li Hao thought proudly, and couldn't help but think of the night before Cheng Chumo and Changsun rushed away a few days ago.

The two guys sneaked up to his tent, took out a small bag of brown powder and showed it for a long time, and insisted on guessing what it was and saying it was the best delicacy in the world.

As a result, Li Hao only gently picked up a little and tasted it. He immediately knew what it was. He told the two of them contemptuously not to fool themselves with sea steak powder, as much as they need on the beach by the sea.

Hearing this, Changsun Chong and the others were shocked by the gods and repeatedly reminded Li Hao not to tell the matter out. Theirs were still waiting to use this thing to open a few restaurants in Chang'an and make a fortune.

That's right, Li Hao cheated two kilograms of sea cucumber from the two of them and promised to keep it a secret for them, and it would never be rumored.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Yuande also had the opportunity to taste the delicious taste that he had never eaten before.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Wang Yuande put down his chopsticks with his round belly, looked at the messy table with a little regret, and sighed.

Seeing this, Li Hao smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry about not being able to eat such delicious food in the future. After my brothers return to Chang'an, they will open several restaurants. If your brother likes it, you can go and have a good time."

"Really?" Wang Yuande suddenly became energetic. For him, this was really a turn of things, and the flowers were bright. In surprise, he even forgot the purpose of coming to find Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded slightly: "Of course it's true. But brother, you just said that you came to Qizhou to help me. I wonder what this is to explain?"

"Uh..." Wang Yuande burped awkwardly, then he remembered that there was something serious to do. He quickly took a sip of tea and pressed down the turbid air in his chest, cleared his throat and said, "Brother Wei, I heard that you plan to build a cement road for Qizhou with your own strength. I wonder if this matter is true?"

"Of course it's true." Li Hao nodded. He didn't want to hide such a thing from anyone. The Qizhou Prefectures both wanted to report this to Chang'an, and they couldn't hide it.

But he didn't expect the Wang family to move so quickly, and he actually sent his direct descendants to contact him as soon as possible. It was really...

When Wang Yuande saw Li Hao admit it calmly, he felt more and more that this person was different from the legend.

What an honest person. Why do people say that this person is hypocritical? And the old man said so, even letting himself be careful not to be fooled by him. It is really a villain who judges a gentleman.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuande said: "Brother, I won't hide it from you until now. You have lost money in this business."

"Oh? How can I explain this? Please let me make it clear." Li Hao said confidently: "There are about 100,000 people in Qizhou. I plan to hire them to build roads and clean up dredging at the cost of two kilograms of grain per day. In this way, it takes about 300,000 kilograms of grain per day. At ten cents per bucket of grain, it costs only 240 jin. Even if it takes five months, it is only 36,000 jin.

But this time I invested 200,000 yuan. After removing these 36,000 yuan, I still had 164,000 yuan left. This money is enough for me to buy sand and stone and cement. I don’t know where my brother came from when I said I lost.”

"Hiss..." Wang Yuande took a breath. He didn't know that Li Hao would invest so much money before, but that was 200,000 yuan, not 20 yuan: "My brother is indeed brave enough, and he actually invested 200,000 yuan at a time. However, the loss of business for me does not mean your business in Qizhou, but... other prefectures."

"Other state prefectures? What does this have to do with other state prefectures?" Li Hao frowned involuntarily.

Wang Yuande shook his head and sighed, "Oh, my brother is still too young, but he doesn't know the reason why he is not worried about being weak but not being uneven. You have put such great efforts in Qizhou to manipulate it, but what other prefectures think? The severe drought in Guanzhong is not a severe drought in Qizhou. If you are more generous than the other conservancy, you are afraid that other prefectures will not agree."

What I said makes sense, but I just spent money on Qizhou, and I had something to do with other people.

Li Hao was disdainful, but his face showed a look of fear and fear: "This, I have never thought about these things before. Brother, what should I do?"

Wang Yuande rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said after a long time: "Actually, this matter is really about it. My brother spent his own money. Who is his support for? Even if he is not satisfied with the other prefectures, he can't say anything. But the key issue is that your previous reckless behavior has annoyed Your Majesty. In addition, rumors are everywhere in the capital. If you really ignore the other prefectures in Guanzhong, your Majesty will be angry with you, but this is a great disadvantage to your Majesty."

Wang Yuande thought he had good acting skills, and what he said was directly pointing to Li Hao's vital points, but he didn't know that the butler behind him was almost crying anxiously.

You should know that Li Hao's plan has just begun. If he scared him away because of a few words from his son, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

However, Wang Yuande did not realize this. Seeing Li Hao pondering, he continued, "Besides, when he left Beijing, he heard some rumors. It is said that other families of the five surnames were planning to attack the virtuous brothers. As for the methods, it was nothing more than setting up many obstacles, or bewitching other state prefectures to send envoys to threaten the virtuous brothers."

Li Hao never expected that he hadn't said anything, and the direct descendant of the Wang family on the opposite side basically explained all the plans of the aristocratic family clearly.

This made him feel like he was hard to find an opponent, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh..."
