As he said that, he looked at Su Zicheng and explained: "Sixty-seven out of ten merchants from Liang District competed. They are not familiar with the place on Huainan Road. The wine on Huainan Road has always been mainly sold to Taiping Mansion in Wudi. Now,

But it’s a war.”

Su Zicheng frowned and nodded. Li Xiaoyao turned to look at Shi Yu and the others and said, "You should go back and take a closer look at this place. Regardless of the merchants in Liangdi, Peiping or Huainan Road, this bowl of water must be leveled.

As for other things, there is no need to do too much. Whether they lose or make money depends on themselves. Doing business always involves risks."

The three of them listened carefully to the underlying meaning of Li Xiaoyao's words and nodded in agreement.

After Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, he looked at Su Zicheng, who smiled and shook his head.

Shi Yu and the other three hurriedly stood up and left. Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhao Hongzhi and Ming Qian and said with a smile: "You two stay a while, I have one more question."

Shi Yu bowed and stepped back. Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhao Hongzhi and Ming Qian and asked with a smile: "Are you two married?" Shi Yu, who was stepping out of the threshold, raised his eyebrows and laughed silently.

This fifth master is going to be a matchmaker?

Zhao Hongzhi and Ming Qian looked at each other in confusion, then hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Xiaoguan has been married a long time ago."

"Oh!" Li Xiaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good, you two are at this age... I want to tell the two adults that this term will last three years, so you might as well take over your family members.

"Come on, it's called living together as a family. How many children do the two adults have?"

"The lower official has a daughter and a son." Zhao Hongzhi replied with all the senses.

"The lower official has a daughter." Ming Qian hurriedly replied.

Li Xiaoyao looked at the two of them and smiled and said: "It seems that the two adults and their wives are separated more and less together. The two adults have worked hard, and your wife has suffered even more. Please accept your appointment. Mr. Ming's family is well-off, and Mr. Zhao can

It's just a bit short. Let the prince pay for the moving money for you, five hundred taels per person, and you can be transferred later. No matter where you go, as long as you have your wife and children by your side, you can feel at home anywhere, right?"

Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows and nodded while smiling.

Zhao Hongzhi's eyes were red and he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times. Ming Qian also knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly.

Su Zicheng simply stood up, pulled the two of them up and smiled, saying, "There's no need to kowtow, just do your job with your heart."

The two men hurriedly stood up, and the company commander bowed his head and left.

Seeing the two of them leaving the yard, Su Zicheng turned around and looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with a smile, "Do you have any other instructions from the Fifth Master?"

Li Xiaoyao was drinking tea. He motioned Su Zicheng to sit down with his eyes, put down the cup and said with a smile: "There is still something important that needs to be discussed carefully with the prince."

"Well, tell me!"

"This Huainan Road must have a transshipment officer to oversee the economy and civil affairs. The most important thing is to make this Huainan Road the commercial capital of the world. You see, it is located between the north and the south, with the sea to the east and a rare good port like Lugang.

The land routes extend in all directions, leading directly to Wu, Jing, and Qi. From Peiping, you can enter South Vietnam.

The most important thing is that Prince Ning and Prince Ning have broad minds, high vision, and are willing to use the talents of people. It will only take three or two years. If they are managed well, the Huainan Road will start to show results and gather the world's wealth, and it will be a real success.

The richest place in the world, Peking and the prince have such money bags, the prince, you will become truly wealthy!"

Su Zicheng listened carefully, thought about it carefully, looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked: "Besides the tea, wine, and salt, what else do you want to change?"

"Is there any big change? It's just about protecting people's wealth, cleaning up officials, etc. This is a cliché." Li Xiaoyao spread his hands and said with a relaxed smile.

Su Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Xiaoyao and said: "You are very brave, I have to ask one more question, well, do you already have this candidate?"

"Well, Yu Yuanshan." Li Xiaoyao answered simply.

Su Zicheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "He is really the most suitable! He was born in Liang, and he is a member of my family. The most important thing is that his stories are now spread all over the world. When he comes, he will definitely make Huainan Lu Shi

I am very happy, and it can also show the eclectic attitude of our Peking courtesy corporal. This person is also thoughtful."

"Well, he is also very financially sound, so he is the most suitable candidate."

"There is no financial solution, but you are here, so what are you afraid of? He is your student!" Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with a smile.

Li Xiaoyao glanced sideways at Su Zicheng, "That's just wishful thinking on his part!"

Su Zicheng laughed.

Lu Feng rushed into the second door excitedly carrying a small wooden barrel, and bumped into Su Zicheng head-on. He looked left and right and was about to hide behind the rockery when Su Zicheng saw him and shouted: "Stop!"

Lu Feng stopped holding the bucket, dusted his gown with his free hand, and looked at Su Zicheng calmly.

Su Zicheng came over with a folding fan, knocked the wooden bucket in Lu Feng's hand with the fan, and asked calmly: "What is this new thing? Is it for Xiao Yao?"

"Nothing, just a few stones." Lu Feng looked at Su Zicheng who was uncharacteristically suspicious. He felt something was wrong since he ate the fish yesterday afternoon. Could it be that the fish had some magical effect?

Su Zicheng lowered his head and looked at a pile of small, shiny stones soaked in clear water in the bucket. He shook off the folding fan and put it aside: "This stone is good for holding down daffodils in winter. I'm just settling accounts, so I don't have time to pay attention to you."

With that said, he waved his folding fan and went out.

Lu Feng stood stunned for a long time, waved his hand vigorously, forget it, ignore him, who knows what will happen to this smelly stone!

Li Xiaoyao and a group of accounting masters worked carefully for the whole day and returned to the yard in the evening. They took a bath and changed into comfortable linen clothes. They fell on the couch and sighed comfortably.

Danyue came in and said with a smile: "Girl, I collected a lot of things today. Do you want to look at them now?"

"What? Didn't I say that I wouldn't accept anything?" Li Xiaoyao was startled.

Danyue frowned, but the look on her face was that she wanted to laugh but was holding back, "It's not sent in from outside, it's all sent by the prince, and the prince doesn't know... It's so scary, I'll have someone bring it to the girl to see.

Damn, Qingcheng said..." Danyue covered her mouth, moved forward, and muttered close to Li Xiaoyao: "Just pretend that you didn't listen, the prince said that the prince has designated to bump into the guests, I think so."

After saying that, he straightened up and said with a smile: "I'll have someone bring it in for the girl to have a look at."

Li Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on the couch, speechlessly looking at the messy things piled up in the room, such as rattles, bicycles, nine rings in a set of gold, silver and jade, the chubby Ni Afu...

There was also a tearful, whimpering little pug that seemed unable to walk, and two living white rabbits!

Li Xiaoyao covered his face and fell back on the couch. It seemed that Qing Cheng was the most discerning. He could tell at a glance that this person was a bumper-to-bumper!

……………………

Yu Yuanshan received the secret letter that was urgently sent from Yuanfeng Guild Hall. He read it carefully four or five times, thought about it over and over again, folded the letter several times, carefully put it against his chest, came out and confessed a few words, and went straight out of Liang.

First, I went to the Anyuan Hou Mansion to search for the palace. I heard that Shuiliang was at Hubu, so I hurried to Hubu to see him.

After waiting for half an hour, the boy came out and asked Yu Yuanshan to come in.

Shuili stood up from his chair, took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Master Lao Yu has been waiting for a long time. It was really urgent just now and we couldn't delay it."

"Uncle Shui, you're so polite. How dare you take it? If you don't, you can't take it." Yu Yuanshan bowed his head and laughed, not daring to take it.

Shuili knew that he must have something to do when he came to see him, so he was not polite. He asked him to sit down, served tea and asked with a smile: "Master Yu is very busy with official duties, so he took the time to come here. I wonder if I have any advice?"

"Uncle, please look at this." Yu Yuanshan did not go around in circles, took out President Qian's letter from his arms, stood up, bowed slightly, and presented it to Shui Li with both hands.

Shuili took the letter with some confusion, scanned it ten lines at a time, his face turned green, and he read it carefully again, took a deep breath, handed the letter to Yu Yuanshan, and said with a forced smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yu! The people under my sect are stupid!

I'm so tired..." Shuidang choked in a breath and couldn't say any more.

Yu Yuanshan hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Uncle Shui, don't blame me for being troublesome. I know Fifth Master's temper and will definitely not care about it. However, Huainan Road is not as good as Kaiping Mansion. The merchants are fiercely competitive and have clever methods.

In this way... I have to worry more about taking care of things."

Yu Yuanshan said as he took the letter, turned around and found a paper burning basin, put it in and watched it burn before handing over and saying goodbye.

Shuiliang's hands and feet were numb with anger. He sat upright for a long time, then stood up using the armrests of the chair, and ordered the servant to go to Jingjiang Marquis' Mansion to invite Jingjiang Marquis to come over to speak. He then strode out of the household department and returned to his home.

I went to consult with my father.

After Anyuanhou and Jingjianghou heard Shuili's words, Anyuanhou's face turned livid and his hand on the armrest of the chair was shaking. Jingjianghou kept shaking his head and sighing, and the study was silent.

After a long while, Marquis Anyuan let out a long sigh, his body seemed to slump a little, and he looked at Shuidang to discuss: "Tell me something."

Shuili looked at his father, thought for a while, and whispered: "Although there is not much news about Huainan Road, but..."

Anyuanhou nodded repeatedly: "I know this. Although it's not much, it's enough to understand."

Marquis Jingjiang also nodded: "This Miss Wu Ye is really a person to look up to! She is so admirable!"

"Look now, no matter who the second master marries in the future, let alone overpower her, I'm afraid he can't even reach her toes. Looking from afar, we don't have to care who the second master marries or not, just

Just looking at her is enough.

Regarding the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel a while ago, the uncle actually put the Fifth Master opposite the Guo family. How important does the uncle think she is? The uncle's eyesight was something that my aunt also praised before..." Shuiliang's words gradually faded away.

Marquis Anyuan didn't know what he was thinking. He let out a long sigh, a little sad, and what he said was not very relevant: "Your aunt was like this back then, with amazing talent and beauty. It's a pity that the Shui family, your generation, has no future."

It’s considered promising, but…”

Shuili lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then looked at his father and continued: "I thought about it carefully on the way, and I have to call Ruan Da back quickly. We can't just send the steward to Huainan Road. This is because we didn't think carefully in advance, and the money we transferred is also

Too little... Huainan Road must be given top priority and cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise we will lose too much and may damage the foundation of the Shui clan. I think it is better to let Shui Di go over and take charge of Huainan Road affairs.
