"Sir, you are so powerful. Not only did you convince the chaste woman, but you also got her to sponsor a large amount of funds!"
As soon as he left the Baqing Villa, Zhongxian excitedly complimented Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao smiled, waved his hand and said: "This is nothing, only benefits are eternal!"
"Where do you plan to go next?"
"Of course we have to go find Wu Shiluo!"
"ah?"
When Zhongxian and Xiao He heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Zhao Hao looked at them funny and said jokingly: "You don't think I only get one sponsorship, do you?"
"But didn't the virgin agree to cooperate with you, form a construction team, and contract some of the projects in Xianyang?" Zhongxian asked in confusion.
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, is there any problem with some of the projects?"
Zhongxian: "."
"The Xianyang reconstruction project is a big project. One person can't finish the meal. He has to pull out several people to finish it. Moreover, the entry of multiple engineering teams can not only improve competitiveness, but also improve project efficiency. What's the point? Not?"
Zhongxian: "What about real estate? We also need multiple engineering teams to come in?"
Zhao Hao: "Real estate is not needed for the time being. Let's build a demonstration community first. If it sells well, people will naturally follow suit. Then we will set up a Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau to take care of them specifically!"
After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and added:
"Our goal is not short-term gains, but long-term planning. The real estate economy is part of the national economy. If it develops well, the market economy will be more active and social stability can be maintained!"
"this"
Zhongxian and Xiao He looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
Although they were a little confused about the economy, Zhao Hao's thinking was very clear.
It is obvious that Zhao Hao has been planning the future development of Great Qin for a long time.
Following such a 'lord' with a long-term vision, they suddenly felt more confident.
At the same time, in the living room of Baqing Villa.
As soon as Zhao Hao and others were sent away, Ba Mi couldn't wait to return to Ba Qing and asked her puzzledly: "Mom, why did you agree to that kid's unreasonable request?"
"What about that boy? He is His Majesty's son, don't lose your etiquette!"
Ba Qing turned to look at Ba Mi and said seriously.
"However, he has repeatedly bullied us by relying on his status as the son of the First Emperor. He is truly an unreasonable and unreasonable person!"
Ba Mi pouted and said dissatisfied.
Ba Qing shook his head and said: "If it weren't for his weaving skills, we would still be stuck in the mines and would never be able to get out."
"Even so, we can't let him squeeze us again and again. He is not His Majesty!"
"presumptuous!"
When Ba Mi heard this, he was startled and quickly saluted Ba Qing: "My mother, please forgive me."
"Mi'er, I've said it many times, you must know your identity!"
Ba Qing said coldly: "We, the Ba Qing clan, are where we are today because we have recognized our identity clearly. Without His Majesty's strong support, what do you think merchants are in Great Qin?"
"But."
Ba Mi was still a little puzzled and muttered: "Then you can't let others slaughter you."
"What do you mean by letting others slaughter you? Don't you see clearly?"
Ba Qing's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly: "Zhao Hao's purpose is to improve the status of merchants and make merchants an indispensable part of Daqin! This is a dream for us merchants. No matter how high the cost, my mother will fully support it. he!"
After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and smiled beautifully: "Besides, do you think my mother didn't see what he was thinking?
He wanted to use his mother to expand the ambition of businessmen all over the world, but his mother was not without ideas. Did you know that Zhao Hao also made the porcelain? "
"What my mother means is"
“If you want to take it, you must give it to it first!”
"this"
Ba Mi was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The next moment, Ba Qing waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, from today on, you will be responsible for the textile and engineering matters. Grandma will let your eldest brother take charge!"
She originally wanted to train Bali as her successor, but unfortunately, Bali's qualifications were still a bit lacking. Such a person would not be able to control her business empire.
Therefore, after much consideration, she decided to give up Bali and let her other adopted son take over.
But Ba Mi still hasn't responded yet, and still asks stupidly: "Isn't the eldest brother in charge of His Majesty's Mausoleum? Is transforming Xianyang more important than building His Majesty's Mausoleum?"
As soon as these words came out, Ba Qing was completely heartbroken. He didn't even bother to say a few more words. He just said with an indifferent expression: "I will arrange for someone to take over your mausoleum. Just mind your own business!"
"this"
Ba Mi was retorted by Ba Qing, and then she realized something was wrong.
However, Ba Qing didn't want to talk to her at all, so she could only leave the living room in a sensible manner.
At the same time, Baixiangju.
This is a restaurant run by Wu Shiluo based on Liuheju. The interior decoration style, including the chef in the kitchen, were all obtained by Wu Shiluo at a high price using his connections.
It was lunch time at this time. Although Baixiangju's business was not as good as Liuheju's, there were still many people eating.
Zhao Hao and his party of three came to Baixiangju leisurely in a carriage, seemingly in no hurry to meet Wu Shiluo.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Baixiangju, Zhao Hao took Zhongxian and Xiao He and went straight to the private room on the second floor of Baixiangju.
Although it was his first time to come to Baixiangju, the moment he walked in, he felt a funny sense of familiarity, and he couldn't help but say, "Wu Shiluo is really thoughtful."
"Yeah, I almost thought I was back in Liuheju."
Zhongxian also echoed.
Xiao He looked around and found that the restaurant was not only luxuriously decorated, but also quite exotic. There were many decorations that he had never seen before. They appeared on the walls of the restaurant, as if they had brought in the grassland beyond the Great Wall.
One of them, an imposing skull and bull head, is particularly eye-catching, but it does not make people feel out of place or even scary, as if it is integrated with the private room.
At this time, the guests in the restaurant include not only people from the Old Qin Dynasty and the Six Kingdoms, but also exotic foreigners, who should be businessmen coming to Xianyang to purchase goods.
Zhao Hao led the way into the private room on the second floor. People who knew him immediately stood up and saluted the son of the famous First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Others were obviously seeing Young Master Hao for the first time. They waited until everyone saluted Zhao Hao. He quickly stood up to salute.
At this time, the man in black robe who was eating upstairs noticed Zhao Hao and others at a glance, especially the two people on his right by the window. They stared at Zhao Hao without blinking. One of them had a beard. , showing his fierceness;
The other one has long hair shawl, with a dark and cunning look.
"Wu Jun wanted to see this Young Master Hao. I squatted down several times but never caught him. I didn't expect him to come on his own initiative!"
The man in black robe said amusedly.
The tough man glanced at him, frowned and said, "Is this your Young Master Hao of Great Qin?"
"Yes, he made the porcelain and silk!"
"Oh, you Qin people are short in stature, but your brains are extraordinary. I think this Young Master Hao is not even as good as a three-year-old child over there."
"Aku! Stop talking nonsense!"
Before the tough man finished speaking, the sinister man beside him glanced over with a cold look.
The man in black robe on the side also looked very embarrassed, and said coldly: "Kermit, Kulu, this is Daqin, which is famous for its strict laws. I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds, otherwise Wujun will not be able to protect you!"
After saying that, he stood up directly, bowed his hands to the two of them, and then quickly left the second floor.
Watching the man in black robe leave, the sinister man sneered disdainfully, and then left the restaurant with the tough man behind him.
the other side.
Wushiluo Manor.
Wu Shiluo was having dinner with his wife when the man in black robe ran in hurriedly, raised his hands to him and said: "Wu Jun, Young Master Hao has gone to our Baixiang Residence!"
"Um?"
Wu Shiluo was stunned for a moment, then looked overjoyed: "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely true!"
The man in black robe said very confidently: "Besides, I saw the carriage outside Baixiangju, the same carriage we saw when we went to Ba Qing's place!"
"Oh? You mean, Young Master Hao just met Ba Qing, and now he comes to see me again?"
"should be."
The man in black robe nodded and asked Wu Shiluo again: "Is Mr. Wu seen or not?"
"See!"
Wu Shiluo said categorically: "Although the meeting is different from what I expected, being able to meet Young Master Hao alone is a fulfillment of my wish!"
"But."
Hearing this, the man in black robe couldn't help but hesitated and said, "I think Young Master Hao's trip is not as simple as it seems!"
"If he just has a simple meal, I have to treat it with caution. It's not easy. At least I know it in my heart!"
"this"
"Okay, hurry up and prepare the gifts. I'll be here soon!"
Seeing the hesitation on the black-robed man's face, Wu Shiluo waved his hand without any doubt.
Not long after, the two of them appeared in Zhao Hao's private room.
"Old minister Wu Shiluo, I have met the young master!"
Wu Shiluo smiled and saluted Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao seemed to know that Wu Shiluo would come, and he smiled and waved his hand: "Wu Jun, you don't have to be polite, please sit down!"
"Thank you, sir."
Although this was Wushi Luo's restaurant, he behaved completely like a guest, giving Zhao Hao a very cordial feeling, and even his impression of Wushi Luo improved.
"I have long wanted to meet the young master, but I didn't expect that the young master would take the initiative to come here. It's really brilliant!"
As soon as Wu Shiluo sat down, he complimented Zhao Hao, which made Zhao Hao feel embarrassed.
However, before he could be polite to Wu Shiluo, Wu Shiluo slapped him again.
Two beautiful maids came to him holding a finely carved box.
"Wu Jun, what does this mean?"
Zhao Hao looked at the box and looked like Wu Shiluo with a puzzled look on his face.
But Wu Shiluo smiled and said: "I heard that the master likes delicious food. This is the best abalone carefully selected by Wu. Please accept it!"
After saying that, he raised his hand to signal the maid to open the box. The box contained ten fist-sized dried abalones, which looked very good at first glance.
"this"
Zhao Hao stared for three seconds with wide eyes, and then looked at Zhongxian and Zhongxian.
Zhongxian and Zhongxian seemed to be seeing such a big abalone for the first time, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
As far as Zhao Hao knows, the abalones along the coast of Daqin are common abalones such as half-grained abalone, sheep abalone, and eared abalone. The better ones are in Xiaoli.
It is said that there are three kinds of abalone that are particularly famous there, such as Jipin abalone, net abalone and Hema abalone.
The top-quality abalone that Wu Shiluo gave to Zhao Hao is a bit like a net abalone, because the abalone has a mesh pattern on its surface.
In his previous life, Zhao Hao went to Xiaori Restaurant and saw this kind of abalone, so he was quite impressed.
Could it be that the abalone sent by Wu Shiluo was obtained from Xiaoli?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but asked calmly: "Where did Wu Jun get this abalone? Why have I never seen it before?"
"Young Master is indeed well-informed. This abalone is indeed not native to Da Qin, but comes from Chen State."
"Chen Guo?"
Zhao Hao was stunned: "May I ask Mr. Wu, where is the Chen Kingdom?"
"Go back to my lord, the Kingdom of Chen is in the east of Qi, on the bank of the East China Sea."
"this"
Zhao Hao was speechless.
He really didn't understand ancient maps, especially the countries with names, and he knew very little about them.
Could it be that the small days in the pre-Qin period were the state of Chen?
Impossible, I’ve never heard of this name!
Just when Zhao Hao looked confused, Zhongxian quickly took out the map from his arms, put it on the table, cupped his hands towards Wu Shiluo and said, "Wu Jun, can you point out the Kingdom of Chen on this map?"
"This picture is"
When Wu Shiluo saw the map handed over by Zhongxian, his eyes widened and he was a little surprised.
But Zhao Hao reacted and introduced, "This picture is a reduced version of the Nine Continents of the World in my father's palace."
"I see."
Wu Shiluo stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It is worthy of being owned by your majesty. It is indeed exquisite!"
"Does Mr. Wu know where Chen Kingdom is?"
"Back to the young master, if I remember correctly, Chen Guo should be here."
Wu Shiluo raised his finger and pointed at the location of North Korea, and said thoughtfully.
Zhao Hao was slightly surprised, thinking that North Korea was actually called Chen State in the pre-Qin period?
"What about here? Is there a country here?"
"Yes! This is Jizi North Korea"
Jizi Korea?
It turns out that Korea existed in the pre-Qin period?
I really don’t read much!
Zhao Hao smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, then pointed to a place again and asked Wu Shiluo: "Where is this place?"
"here."
Wu Shiluo thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not very clear here. It is said that they are all uncivilized savages."
Savage?
Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wu Shiluo say that Xiaoli was a group of uncivilized savages.
But Wu Shiluo's extensive knowledge still opened his eyes.
Sure enough, when he came to see Wu Shiluo this time, he definitely found the right person.
The reason why Wu Shiluo is well-informed is probably related to his business territory.
It can be said that Wushiluo was one of the earliest ancient merchants to engage in border trade.
According to "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin", Wushiluo was engaged in animal husbandry and raised a large number of cattle and sheep. He exchanged the cattle and sheep for rare and exotic treasures and presented them to the Rong King.
King Rong rewarded cattle and sheep with ten times the price. As a result, he had so many cattle and sheep that "the cattle and horses were measured with grain", and he became a famous wealthy businessman in the country at that time.
After hearing the news, the First Emperor gave him the same treatment as a "king" and could go on pilgrimage with his courtiers. Later, he continued to trade with border tribes to cultivate high-quality war horses for the Qin Dynasty.
For the entire Great Qin, no one knew more about transnational caravans than Wushi Luo.
"May I ask, Master, if you have anything important to do when you come to Baixiangju this time?"
Seeing that Zhao Hao was in a good mood, Wu Shiluo asked tentatively.
He knew that with Zhao Hao's thoughts, it was impossible to come to Baixiangju for dinner for no reason. He should have wanted to take the initiative to contact him.
But Zhao Hao chuckled: "To be honest with Wu Jun, I actually have a big business deal that I want to cooperate with you!"
