    On the big ship.

    After listening to the two kings¡¯ stories, Zhao Hao couldn¡¯t help but secretly said that he was surprised. He didn¡¯t expect Xu Bangning to get involved.

    Duke Guo of Wei is really partial. Letting his second son hold the sea in his hands is equivalent to holding the money bag.  In the future, even if he fails to seize the legitimate son, he will still be able to live a more comfortable life than his elder brother.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Just let Xu Bangning¡¯s 250-year-old get involved in such a complicated situation. Isn¡¯t Wei Guogong afraid that this kid will stir up some trouble?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    "What's the situation now?" he asked.

    "It's very bad. Last year, we all agreed on the share, and it was relatively safe." Wang Shimao said depressedly: "Starting from the first half of this year, sales have almost been cut off. By the second half of the year, not a single shipment of goods can be shipped out."

    "Young master knows Su Song so well. You should know that about half of our silk, raw silk, cotton, porcelain, tea are exported. Now that half of the sales are cut off, it is not just the maritime merchants who are suffering?" Wang Mengxiang also sighed.  road:

    "Most of the weavers have not been able to operate for half a year, countless people have gone bankrupt, and hundreds of thousands of weavers have no food and clothing. If we don't solve the problem, turmoil is just around the corner."

    "That's true." Zhao Hao nodded. Su Song had a tradition of citizen riots.  "Then what are you going to do?"

    "Master, if you are interested, we can work with the Hua family to recommend you to sit on the chair vacated by the Lu family." Wang Mengxiang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't look at the chaos now, but many people are still fighting for this seat.  .¡±

    "They are all big families." Zhao Hao took a sip of tea and said, "Isn't our Xiuning Zhao family not enough?"

    "Young master, you don't have to belittle yourself." Wang Mengxiang laughed loudly and said: "Nine families don't ask about their origins. In the final analysis, strength speaks for itself. Think of the Huating Xu family, before Mr. Xu Ge, it was just a well-off family with a small family.  That¡¯s all. Aren¡¯t you just sitting there looking at each other, and now you want to eat a quarter of it as a family? "

    "That is, my grandfather is a minister, and my father is a new scholar. In terms of background, isn't he much better than the Xu family?" Wang Shimao also advised: "Actually, aside from other things, just talking about the identity of the owner of Jiangnan Company is enough  They welcomed it with both hands.¡±

    "Especially the current chaotic situation, only a master like Young Master can solve it." Wang Mengxiang continued to boast: "After Young Master sits on that chair, we will join the Hua family and Young Master will take over, and you will lead us  If we correct the chaos, we will definitely create a new world!"

    "Yes, dear brother, in addition to our two families, the Gu family and the Lu family can also fight for it." Wang Shimao said: "The Gu family in Wu County and the Gu family in Kunshan are from the same clan, and the Changzhou Lu family is of the same origin as the Pinghu Lu family They are very fond of the Xu family.  If there are grievances, as long as we patiently persuade them, there is hope that they can be overcome."

    "Oh? What's their conflict?" This is Zhao Hao's blind spot.

    "Because after something happened to the Lu family in Pinghu, they transferred all their property to Xu Ge's hometown before the imperial court ransacked it." Wang Shimao explained: "I heard that the gold and silver alone exceeded ten million taels, and there were countless jewelry and jades.  It took half a month to complete the shipment.¡±

    "Tsk, tsk." Zhao Hao couldn't help but be speechless. Each of these big dog families was richer than the last.  Compared with them, I am just a younger brother.

    "After hearing the news, the Lu family in Changzhou thought that in-laws could not be related by blood? The Lu family in Pinghu must have been deceived, so they sent people to Huating several times to get the Xu family to hand over their property to them for safekeeping."

    Wang Shimao chuckled and said: "With the Xu family's behavior of sucking blood, how can the fat in the mouth be spit out? The two sides got angry every time they went back and forth, scolding each other for having ulterior motives, being greedy for money and forgetting their loyalty, and they are still having a war of words to this day."

    "Interesting." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.

    "How is it, young master, are you interested in joining?" the two kings asked in unison.

    "" Zhao Hao pondered for a moment, but slowly shook his head and said: "Let's forget it. Next is the critical stage of Jiangnan Company's layout, so you can't be distracted."

    "Brother, please think about it again, please?" Wang Shimao and Wang Mengxiang looked at each other in surprise. Could it be that we all thought wrong?

    "Yes, Master, a prosperous and stable Jiangnan is definitely more in line with the interests of our Jiangnan Company. For this reason, Master should not just sit idly by."

    "What Uncle Shi said makes sense." Zhao Hao touched the straw hat with a red ribbon and said with a wry smile: "But for such a big matter, you should discuss it with your family."

    "" The two of them choked for a moment. I haven't seen you discuss such a big matter with your family at Jiangnan Company.

    You¡¯re not using Zhao Zhuangyuan as a shield, are you?

    "Okay, we will stay in Kunshan for two more days until the young master and your father come to an agreement."??¡±

    "We have to discuss this with my grandfather." Who knows, Zhao Hao evaded: "His old man is the real head of the family."

    "Uh" The two of them were now convinced that Mr. Zhao was trying to evade.

    "Young Master, we are our own people." Wang Mengxiang was almost in tears.  "What can't be said clearly?"

    "Yes, dear brother." Wang Shimao was also very sad.  "Or do you mean that you don't regard us as your own?"

    "You two are serious." Seeing that the two of them were playing the emotional card with him, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Okay, let me tell the truth. If it were other things, I could almost make the decision. But this is illegal.  The whole family may be punished for this matter, so how can we not plan it with the family?"

    "It's not as serious as Brother Xian thinks" Wang Shimao said hurriedly: "There are special companies that buy our goods. We don't have direct contact with the maritime merchants, so even if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with us."

    "It's just a cover-up." Zhao Hao shook his head decisively and said: "Otherwise, if you follow me every year, even the dignified Yin of Shuntian Prefecture will help you find the Lu family's account books?"

    "That" Wang Shimao was stunned.

    "The account" Wang Mengxiang suddenly shuddered and said, "It won't fall into the hands of the young master, right?"

    Zhao Hao smiled faintly, and there was a gold seal embedded with five-color gems in his hand.

    "Ah? Jinghai King Seal!" The two of them gasped at the same time and stood up at once.

    Wang Mengxiang suppressed the greed in his eyes and said with a trembling voice: "It turns out that this seal really fell into the hands of the young master!"

    "Haha, I said it was purely an accident. I don't know if you believe it or not." Zhao Hao rubbed the gold seal with his thumb, and then threw it to Wang Mengxiang.

    Wang Mengxiang quickly caught it with both hands and looked at it carefully.  This is the first time he has touched the seal of the Pirate King.

    "Since it's so important to you, I'll give it to you two." The young man wearing a red coat and blue shorts picked up his yellow straw hat, stood up and walked towards the cabin door.

    "Young Master, stay!" Wang Mengxiang struggled briefly, then quickly caught up with him, returned the golden seal with both hands and said: "Young Master has abandoned something that you won't take, and we shouldn't miss it!"

    "Yes, Young Master, since you don't want to join, I, the Wang family, can withdraw." Wang Shimao also quickly expressed his position: "Actually, I have not wanted to make this kind of embarrassing money for a long time, but in the past, the whole family had to rely on this to support me. Now  With Jiangnan Company, we don¡¯t care about this anymore, so we just took this opportunity to completely cut it off.¡±

    After hearing these two statements, Zhao Hao stopped, turned around and said seriously to the two of them: "I said the same thing to the Hua family once, and now I will say it to you two again."

    "In this world, the more you get, the more you have to bear. People who are only willing to reap benefits but refuse to take responsibility can usually be called 'moths'. This broken ship of the Ming Dynasty can no longer contain moths.  What a waste. If the ship sinks, all bets are off!"

    The two of them blushed and lowered their heads after being scolded.

    "So from the first day Jiangnan Company was established, I told everyone that we only do things that are not illegal." Mr. Zhao then said in a slower tone: "So neither my Zhao family nor Jiangnan Company will do anything in this way."  Any form of involvement in smuggling.¡±

    "So, sir, what should we do in Jiangnan? So many people no longer have land and cannot go back to the countryside." Wang Mengxiang couldn't help but asked: "If we don't give them a way to survive, the people will rebel!"

    "Without smuggling, can't we do maritime trade?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

    ps. I went to bed, I hope I won¡¯t shed tears tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
