    The next day, Tang Youde came for breakfast again.

    Seeing that Zhao Hao has another apprentice with extraordinary behavior, Tang Youde no longer knows how to compliment him.

    "Young Master has begun to recruit disciples at a young age. He wants to spread his disciples all over the world."

    Zhao Hao took a soaked tofu skin bun from the chicken soup bowl, blew the hot air gently, and said casually:

    "That's so tiring. I don't plan to accept so many apprentices. I'll wait until I have the opportunity to build a university in the future."

    "University?" Tang Youde also took the bowl handed over by Wang Wuyang. While drinking the chicken soup, his eyes lit up and he said, "It must be very profitable, right? Master, you can't leave me behind."

    Seeing that the fat man smelled like copper, Hua Shuyang asked Wang Wuyang in a low voice, "Who is this man?"

    "A businessman who met his master by chance," Wang Wuyang curled his lips and said, "Master has something for him to do."

    "Oh" Hua Shuyang doesn't have any prejudice against businessmen like his senior brother.

    While eating breakfast, Zhao Hao asked Tang Youde: "Is there any news about that matter?"

    "Young Master is really good at predicting things. As soon as the news got out, those silk merchants were very polite that day, but they changed their faces the next day and said they could no longer sell silk to us, Tang Ji." Tang Youde gave a thumbs up and clapped his hands.  Remembering the flattery, he then smiled and said: "I asked again and again, and then I found out that it was Liu Zhengqi, the president of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, who had spoken. Liu Zhengqi is not only the leader of the Dongting Merchant Gang in Nanjing, but also the vice president of our Jinling Silk Industry Guild.  , Those silk merchants who dare not listen to him will not want to live in Nanjing and Suzhou."

    Fatty Tang had no intention of entering this industry, so naturally he didn't take it to heart, so he treated it as a joke and told it to Zhao Hao.

    "Liu Yuanwai is really a trustworthy person who can do what he says." Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing and said: "If he refuses to take the bait, I don't know how to continue my play."

    Tang Youde was smacking his lips now. He looked at Zhao Hao and asked, "Young master, did you have any issues with the man named Liu?"

    "It's a big holiday." Zhao Hao replied with a smile: "I should have called this guy father-in-law"

    "Huh?" Tang Youde was shocked when he heard this and said: "There is still such a paragraph? I haven't heard it yet."

    "There are a lot of things you don't know." Zhao Hao got up and went into the room. While changing clothes, he said to Tang Youde who was staying outside: "At the beginning of the year, when something happened to my old man, this guy came to break off the engagement."

    "Oh? So cheap?" Tang Youde immediately expressed his hatred for the enemy: "It's really not a good thing!"

    "The day before yesterday, after we came back from Bailuzhou, this guy came here again. He actually dared to use the matter of my father's scientific examination to threaten to break off the engagement. After I refused, he even told us to come to ask him to break off the engagement!"

    "How is this possible? A scholar cannot be killed! Not to mention a young master?" Tang Youde flattered him and when he saw Zhao Hao coming out of the west room dressed neatly, he couldn't help but be startled and asked: "Are you going out?"

    "Yes, please ask Mr. Liu to break off the engagement" Zhao Hao said and sat down. Wang Wuyang hurriedly knelt down and helped his master put on his silk shoes.

    Then Zhao Hao walked out of the door.

    "Uh" Tang Youde felt very embarrassed, and after a while he said with a smile: "Young Master is always unexpected."

    "Follow me quickly." Zhao Hao greeted with a smile: "Without you, Boss Tang, I won't be able to sing this play."

    "Master, where are we?" The two apprentices looked at Zhao Hao eagerly.

    "I'll be watching the door at home." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I'll buy you sweets when I come back."

    ??~~

    When Zhao Hao came to the alley, he saw a magnificent brand-new two-wheel carriage, with a faint smell of tung oil, parked there quietly.

    The two tall horses are all black, without a single hair, and the shafts are covered with brass engraved with cloud patterns.

    The entire carriage is a ¡®clear oil carriage¡¯ made of rosewood.  The so-called "clear oil car" means that the carriage is painted with the natural color of wood, so as to show the preciousness of the wood.

    Look at the tiles on the rear crossbar, the hidden nails and curtain hooks on the carriage skirt all the decorations are engraved with brass, and even the carriage skirt is made of gauze rainproof silk with top tape and hanging tassels.  It is made to be extremely luxurious.

    "How's it going?" Tang Youde showed off and opened the car door. The driver squatted down and set up the pier, and asked Zhao Hao to get in the car.

    "It's so beautiful." Zhao Hao's eyes also lit up and he couldn't help but joked: "Boss Tang has changed his shot at a cannon."

    "It's fine if you like it, young master." Tang Youde said diligently, and followed Zhao Hao into the car.

    The coachman closed the door and drove the carriage steadily away from Caijia Lane.

    "I hear what you mean" Zhao Hao asked with a smile on the carriage.

    ??"Yes, this is a little gift for the young master." Tang Youde wiped the shiny car wall with his sleeve and took out a porcelain bottle covered with water drops from the hidden compartment.

    Zhao Hao was sitting in the spacious and airy luxury carriage, drinking the iced loquat dew specially prepared for him by Tang Youde, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really enjoy it"

    After enjoying it for a while, he asked with a smile: "Why do you give me this?"

    "Young Master brought Old Tang to make such a fortune. I can't thank you properly. How can I still be called a person?" Tang Youde smiled sincerely and said, "A carriage is nothing."

    "Thank you very much, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't stay in Nanjing for a few days, so I don't have to spend any money." Zhao Hao smiled and clinked glasses with Tang Youde and said: "Besides, it's time to replace your old car."

    "Uh" Tang Youde knew that Zhao Hao was not being polite to him, and he would not be polite to him, so he had no choice but to smile bitterly and nod: "Yes, I haven't sent it to the young master's heart. I'll look for him later."

    "Don't bother, you'll have to thank me again later. Let's cash it out together then." Zhao Hao said with determination.

    "It seems that the young master has a plan in mind," Tang Youde asked curiously: "It's now time, you can tell me."

    Zhao Hao nodded with a smile and told him his plan.

    "Ah? You can still play like this?" Tang Youde was stunned when he heard it. It took him a while to come back to his senses and said: "Young master is really a god. Fan Li will be nothing more than this in his next life."

    "Don't flatter me all day long, I will be proud." Zhao Hao smiled and rolled his eyes at him: "Besides, our mood is not right either."

    "On the contrary, you should be sad, anxious, uneasy, and a little angry at this time." Tang Youde understood immediately, and wrinkled his face into a bun, brewing his emotions.

    ??~~

    A two-horse carriage is fast. When Zhao Hao and Tang Youde arrived outside the Suzhou Guild Hall on the banks of the Qinhuai River, it was not yet noon.

    Unlike ordinary private houses, the main function of the guild hall is to provide a place for fellow merchants to stay and discuss business in other places.  Therefore, the courtyard door opens very wide and there is no threshold.

    You can go in directly.

    Seeing the luxurious carriage, the disciples didn¡¯t dare to stop it, so they let it go.

    It was not until the carriage stopped in the wide front yard that a servant came over to pick up the two distinguished guests, and then asked politely: "What do you do for me, sir?"

    Normally, all the boys in the guild hall would call him "fellow fellow", but as soon as Tang Youde opened his mouth, they knew he was not a fellow townsman.

    Tang Youde handed over the famous assassin and said to the boy: "I made an appointment with Chairman Liu yesterday, and I came here to see him today."

    "Please have tea in the flower hall." The boy led the two of them into a hall near the water, then turned around and went in to report.

    A servant brought fragrant tea and eight kinds of exquisite Su-like snacks.

    Zhao Hao pinched a piece of snack and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise: "It's not that sweet!"

    Maybe it¡¯s because sugar is too expensive. At this time, Suzhou¡¯s dim sum was not as fancy as it was later, so it was naturally much more friendly to outsiders.

    While eating snacks, he admired the beautiful lakes, mountains and rocks outside the lattice window, and praised: "Although Suzhou merchants are not as big as Huizhou merchants, they are more able to enjoy it."

    "Except for the salt merchants in Yangzhou, our Huizhou merchants are indeed quite frugal." Tang Youde is qualified to say this. His original broken carriage with ventilation on all sides has been sitting on it for ten years and he still can't bear to replace it.

    "To make money, you have to spend money. Can silver flowers grow if you bury them in the ground?" Zhao Hao then said, "I will also build a big garden for Huizhou merchants to live in later. You can help me manage it first, okay?"

    "That's a good relationship." Tang Youde couldn't help but be fascinated. He was eager to open a branch of Weijixian. Didn't he just want to expand his network of contacts?  Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao vetoed the branch, but a larger platform was given to him. If the time was not right, he would definitely jump up and applaud.

    But when he thought about business, Tang Youde had no choice but to suppress the restlessness in his heart and reminded Zhao Hao in a low voice: "Young Master, your mood is not right"

    "Don't worry, we have to wait." Zhao Hao smiled and said indifferently: "Just wait and wait, the emotions will come"
