Chapter 752: Hong
After nearly two months of bumpy ride, Hao Fenglou is standing on the deck and looking at the crowded heads of Haifang Port in the distance, he and Hao Zheng on the dock breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally...reached home.
Hao Fenglou's heart was about to jump out. He had been operating here since the beginning. This was once a piece of white paper, and he let him splash ink and freehand graffiti on it. There might be ugly here, but it still carries hope. It is not only the hope of others, but also the hope of Hao Fenglou, because this is his home, and his future will be rooted here, because no matter what he is outside, everyone here will support himself unconditionally, and he will also sweep this power to avenge his shame and show his ambitions.
The sea boat had already docked. In order to welcome his ship, the water diverter had already diverted all the ships in the nearby waters, so there was no need to wait. The big ship leaned against the side of the trestle and then boarded the sampan. Hao Fenglou helped Hao's mother and others get off the ship. At this time, Hao Zheng had already come along the trestle.
The family finally reunited, but Hao Zheng's eyes did not fall on his son and Hao's mother. His eyes were attracted by Hao Qinmin and Hao Qinzheng who were held by the nannies.
"My father..."
"Well... um..."
"I am pleased by my father. My child is dead. These days, I worry my father..."
"Oh, well, okay... This is diligent people, this is ~ long~ wind~ literature and diligent work? What a good child, come, let grandpa come and hug it. Hey, in this weather, I don't know if I add another piece of clothes, the sea is very windy and waves. Look at their faces, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot. This... If the child is in trouble, he will be on the boat again. How can he have a child?"
Hao Fenglou was speechless, but Hao's mother smiled tolerantly.
Hao Zheng held Hao Qinzheng and held Hao Qinzheng with one hand, who could walk, and had already forgotten Hao Fenglou aside, and said in a nagging manner: "When you arrive in Lang San, there are many fun things, um. Your house is ready, and you are invited to be a special skilled craftsman, so you must like it. By the way, there are also Trojan horses and candied haws. You can eat whatever you like. If anyone bullies you, tell grandpa, I will beat them to death."
Hao Qinzheng might be tired, but just lying in Hao Zheng's arms to sleep.
Hao Qinmin didn't recognize his life. He was very interesting to hear and couldn't help but say, "Dad often hits me."
Hao Fenglou was furious and blamed his son for his nature as a treacherous villain, so he said angrily: "Boy..."
Hao Zheng banged his beard and stared at him, "You beast, what are you calling me? What did you look like before? So what now? Children should be naughty. Isn't they naughty?"
Hao Fenglou said aggrievedly: "Dad...but you beat me too in the past."
Hao Zheng said: "That's because you didn't know much about it before."
Hao Fenglou said: "He doesn't know anything."
Hao Zheng sneered: "If you don't know anything, just hit him?"
Hao Fenglou was speechless. He suddenly realized that there was no need to argue when he met such an unreasonable father.
The group got on the dock, and it was already full of excitement. Everyone saluted and talked. The Hao family's carriage arrived and stopped outside the dock. Hao Zheng was thinking about Hao Fenglou and others and quickly arranged for them to get on the car and go home directly.

When he returned to Lang San, he was afraid that he could only feel at ease when he felt relieved. After taking a bath, he used some pastries and then took a nap. When he woke up, the manager of the mansion invited him to the main hall.
When we arrived at the main hall, Hao Zheng had already started drinking tea.
Hao Fenglou picked up a seat and sat down. He knew Hao Zheng's habits. Over the years, his father has been doing ten days. At this time, the sun was already in the middle of the day. He should be in charge of military and political affairs, or meeting some chieftains and merchants. But today, he sat here for the first time, afraid that he was just waiting for himself and wanted to talk to him.
Hao Fenglou stretched comfortably, and when someone came to tea, he picked up the teacup and heard Hao Zheng say, "When you were in Jinling, you were quite worried about your father. Today's son... Zhu Gaosui never saw through this person before, but he never thought that he was so cruel. Our Hao family misjudged the person and almost missed the big thing. Fortunately, you are back. Good thing, you have come back in the past few days. We father and son have a lot to talk about, but after October, we can't hide. In fact, this military affairs are not understood by father. Lang Shan, Shen Ji, Dacheng, and Jiaozhou are now expanding significantly, with as many as 70,000 young and strong as 70,000. If you take care of these four guards, you can take care of them, and it will be easier for your father."
Hao Fenglou nodded repeatedly and said, "It is natural to share the worries of his father, but, after all, it is urgent to rebel with the court now, but I don't know if Lang San is prepared?"
"Preparation?" Hao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "There is preparation, but we Lang Shan, but we cannot act rashly. For one thing, Zhu Gaosui has ascended the throne after all, and the two capitals and thirteen provinces are all under his control. He has allocated hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to the southwest, and his strength cannot be underestimated. Although the four guards in our hands are considered strong, the problem is that many officers and soldiers are recruited recently, and most of them have not experienced any battles. Once they are in a battle, the outcome will be unpredictable. Since that is the case, it is better to be cautious."
"The second is the heart of the people. Although the vast majority of the officials and people here in Langshan are not insensitive to the court, the court is the court. Although many people rely on our Hao family, they are unwilling to rebel against the court and become enemies. It would be okay to let them bully small Western countries, but they have the courage to fight the court with our Hao family, which is a bit difficult."
Hao Fenglou nodded repeatedly. The first thing was easy to understand. It would take time for the four guards to improve their combat power to the peak. As for the second thing, Hao Fenglou can actually recognize the reality. People's minds are very complicated. When the knife is not on their necks, everyone will have luck in their hearts. Now the opponents of the Hao family are no longer Siam or Sumatra, nor Luzon and Johor, but the center of the whole world and the most powerful existence in the whole world. If they really force themselves to the corner and let everyone retreat, these people may be willing to give in, but it would be another matter to ask the Hao family to take the initiative.
Hao Fenglou said: "So, it is not the time to start a war? But after thinking about it, the child agrees quite well. At present, both the court and us are actually accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity. The court is also afraid of us. Their main problem is that within the Xiao Wall, Zhu Gaosui needs time to eradicate dissidents, weaken some people within, and win over the hearts of the people. Therefore, the longer the time delays, it is beneficial to him. But time is also on our side, whether it is Jiaozhi or Dingnan, the more we have experienced in recent years.
The exhibition is a thousand miles a day, and every year there will be new changes. I remember that the year before yesterday, the annual income of the royal palace was only 14 million taels of silver, but in the blink of an eye, it reached 32 million taels of silver. If this year, I would probably have to turn it over. The efficiency of the railway has been greatly revealed. Coupled with the development of markets in various Western countries and the development of maritime trade, I believe that if I give a few more years, even the power of the Dingnan and Jiaozhi provinces will be enough to be evenly matched with the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the court, or even better."
Hao Zheng smiled: "That's what it means to be a father. A few days ago, I summoned some friends from the court to discuss this matter. Most of the people's opinions are like this. The court wants to delay time, but we also want to delay time, so the court will not move for the time being. We must prepare early and make the bluff so that the court will be afraid of something. Many friends from the court think that Zhu Gaosui is afraid that the war will begin now. Because of this, he will definitely send an imperial envoy to come to Langshan and negotiate with us. If we try our best to appease our father and son, we will have to promise many benefits. And this... is actually beneficial to us."
Hao Fenglou did not expect that his father had already made plans and strategies, and Hao Fenglou also highly agrees with this point. He is not a reckless person. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. He still needs a lot of time to digest a lot of things.
The court's jealousy of taking risks is actually beneficial to me, and it depends on how I deal with it.
After a conversation, the father and son had reached a consensus. Hao Zheng naturally continued to be busy with his official duties. Hao Fenglou was resting at home on the surface, but in fact, he had many things to be busy recently. He was not at Lang San for many years. Although he knew a little about Lang San and was very concerned about it, after all, he was not as good as his father. Now that he was in charge of military affairs, he would inevitably have to understand the facts of Lang San. Therefore, he ordered someone to get the documents and read them one by one, hoping to find out the details of Dingnan and Jiaozhi. This... For Hao Fenglou, it was just the first step to take charge of the power here. If he didn't even know his own weight and did things recklessly, then Hao Fenglou, in the Jinyiwei, had been wasted several years of work.
