"Father."

Mr. Zhao came to a middle-aged man with a very respectful expression.

"Have anyone seen it?"

The middle-aged man was Zhao Zhilong, the man in Xingcheng. At this moment, he was standing in front of a landscape painting.

Mr. Zhao nodded and said, "When I say goodbye to my father, I have seen the other person."

"Take the words to the other party?" Zhao Zhilong put his head together to the landscape painting on the wall, and carefully looked at the painting in front of him.

Mr. Zhao said respectfully: "I have brought it here, but I don't know if the other person can understand it. The child doesn't seem to be too smart."

"The other party can take over the land of the three provinces, not as stupid as you think." Zhao Zhilong turned his head and glanced at his son, and then said, "In the future, you don't have to contact those people. Don't forget that we are a noble family. As long as the Ming Dynasty lasts forever, our family will have generations of wealth to enjoy."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhao asked with confusion: "Father, what's wrong? I used to cooperate well, why did I suddenly get into a stumble?"

Zhao Zhilong left the landscape painting, returned to the seat behind the table and sat down. He reached out and picked up the cover bowl on the table and took a sip of tea, and said, "We are not the same as them after all, and it is a good thing to avoid contact."

"Have you been working together all the time before?" Mr. Zhao asked in confusion.

Zhao Zhilong put down the cover bowl in his hand and said, "It used to be the past, but now the situation is different. Not only our family, but other companies in Nanjing City no longer cooperate with them. Otherwise, why would you think a good warehouse be robbed? There is no sign with the tiger flag hanging on the warehouse. How could a group of daemon geese who only know how to read and know how to know which warehouse is the tiger flag warehouse?"

"What my father meant was that the warehouse was robbed, and the nobles behind it were secretly manipulated by those nobles?" asked Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Zhilong heard this and snorted, "Only those civil servants have such ugly eating habits. Even if we have to do anything, we will not do our job so rough."

"Civilian?" Mr. Zhao frowned slightly, and he said, "What are these civil servants doing if they have nothing to do? They have no grievances and no grudges. They can't really devote themselves to the Ming Dynasty!"

The gentry in Jiangnan was so powerful that even the Lords were unwilling to provoke them.

Although the Lord was with the country, his power was not as good as that of civil servants, especially in Jiangnan, where officials were abundant.

Local gentry often use the power of the officialdom to compete with lords like their Zhao family for profit.

There are so many business to make money. If you eat more, I will naturally have to eat less.

The civil servants were obviously doing things to fight for power and profit, but they relied on the right to speak in the scholars and threw all the things that bullied the people and took advantage of the situation of taking advantage of the robbery on the heads of the nobles, but they pretended to be innocent.

As the son of the Earl's Mansion, he hates those scholars who are different from each other the most.

Zhao Zhilong leaned against the back of the chair and said, "After all, the tiger flag has made too much money overseas, which is jealous."

"Since the civil servants are going to be, there is no need for us to get involved. It is completely unworthy of helping the civil servant offend the tiger flag." Mr. Zhao said in confusion...

The lords and civil servants in Nanjing have always been in disagreement. He doesn't understand why these nobles are trying to help civil servants this time.

Zhao Zhilong glanced at his son and said, "Do you know how much profit can the sea trade bring?"

Mr. Zhao shook his head.

His biggest role in the Zhao family was to pass on the family line, and his title was inherited by the eldest son. Since he remembered, he knew that the Zhao family's things belonged to his brother, so he rarely cared about the affairs of the Zhao family, and to be precise, he almost didn't care about them.

"Why did I raise you such a waste who is so scattered and waiting to die?" Zhao Zhilong couldn't help but curse when he saw the other party's expression of not knowing anything.

Mr. Zhao was scolded and just grinned, saying nothing, and he didn't dare to talk back.

Father's destiny is greater than that of heaven, he

I knew that if I dared to fight against my father, I would have such a comfortable life in the future. I wouldn’t be able to lose a piece of meat if I was scolded for a few times.

Even though Zhao Zhilong was scolding, he knew that if his son really got involved in the Zhao family, it would be a real disaster for the Zhao family.

Apart from the eldest son, there is nothing wrong with other sons who are living a life of slaughter and waiting to die. However, you have to scold them even if you should. How can you show the majesty of his father if you don’t beat or scold them?

No matter what, it is his own son, I still have to explain it.

Zhao Zhilong said, "As my father, the Earl's Mansion, has nearly half of its income every year from the sea trade. Otherwise, relying solely on those acres of land, I can't make a few taels of silver in a year."

Under the circumstances of maritime ban, maritime trade has always been huge profits.

The Nanjing nobles relied on Linhai to do sea trade business, while the northern capital relied on Tianjin Wei to do sea trade business, so no one was willing to open a sea ban.

After the sea ban is lifted, how can they still make this huge profit for their own families?

"There are so many! No wonder the civil servants are jealous. If it were the children, they are also jealous." Mr. Zhao, who knew for the first time that Haima could bring such high returns to the Earl of Xingcheng, was also very moved.

Zhao Zhilong said again: "On the surface, the civil servants are taking action against the warehouse of the tiger flag, but in fact they want to cut off the huge profits of the tiger flag at the sea."

"With the share in the Tiger Flag Sea Trade, can our family get a part of the share?" Mr. Zhao, who was born in the Lord's family, is naturally not a hopeless idiot.

The lords and civil servants in Nanjing joined forces to cut off the sea trade business of the tiger flag. No matter how greedy the civil servants are, they cannot give one to the nobles.

Zhao Zhilong glanced at his son and said, "This is not something you should worry about. You just need to remember that you can't contact the people on the tiger flag in the future. Even if you are invited to the flower boat on the Qinhuai River, you are not allowed to go."

"I've remembered it." Mr. Zhao nodded and replied, "Father, our family does this. What if the tiger flag is coming one day? That's the thief that occupies the three provinces, and even the elite soldiers in the north are no match for others."

The fact that the tiger flag occupies the three provinces in the north is no secret for the children of the Lord, but the people at the bottom may not know this.

Zhao Zhilong said: "The south is different from the north. It has many waterways. Those who can dominate the king in the north may not be able to dominate the king in the south. Otherwise, the Wanyan clan from hundreds of years ago would not have been able to dominate the king and ruled with the Zhao family."

"Since my father has decided to stand on the side of the civil servant and deal with the tiger flag, why do you still have to let the child see the tiger flag? Will this be a bit unnecessary?" Mr. Zhao began to get lost.

I don’t understand why I have decided to deal with the tiger flag in the sea trade, and why I still have to let him, the young master of Xingcheng, meet the tiger flag...
