As for how to deal with the Kang Wang family, Li Hao actually already had a plan in mind.
Solving the problem from the physical level is still not feasible for the time being.
Just like Zhang Guifen said, the Wang family still has some strength after all, and Mrs. Wang loves her eldest daughter the most.
If the problem was really solved through physics, Mrs. Wang would probably not be able to figure it out clearly, and Li Hao didn't want to confront them head-on for the time being.
So Li Hao decided to change his mind. He couldn't kill her for the time being, so he simply sent her far away out of sight.
Don't let her get in the way, and at the same time give her some pain. As long as you don't kill her, I understand that the Wang family has nothing to say.
So when Li Hao returned to the room, Zhang Guifen asked, "You just said you would handle it. What are your specific thoughts? Don't force it."
Li Hao began to explain: "Don't worry, of course I won't force them. I promise to teach them a lesson in an honest and fair manner so that no one can fault them."
Hearing Li Hao's words, Zhang Guifen immediately knew that Li Hao must have a rough plan, so he said, "Don't be so secretive. If you notice anything, just tell me immediately."
So Li Hao told him his plan, which was actually very simple.
Kang Haifeng had not been running for office, but he wanted to join a well-oiled and powerful yamen.
Then Li Hao planned to fulfill Kang Haifeng's wish.
Anyway, Kang Haifeng originally wanted to join the Salt and Iron Company.
This time Li Hao not only helped him get in, but also helped him along with his son.
After these two people entered the Salt and Iron Division, Li Hao could legitimately entrust them with important tasks.
Nowadays, there are three major types of salt: sea salt, solution salt, and well salt. Li Hao only checked the sea salt from Lianghuai, and this time he planned to check the well salt.
It just so happened that we could take the opportunity to send the Kang family's son directly to Chuanxia 4th Road so that they could conduct a thorough investigation nearby.
The father and son have both left, and it will only take a few years for them to leave. The Kang Wang family will definitely have to follow them.
Just let them stay on Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road for a few years, so that Li Hao can be out of sight and out of mind.
After Zhang Guifen heard Li Hao's plan, she couldn't help but said: "Your method is quite good, but how can the Kang family and his son be so obedient?"
Li Hao smiled and said, "So we have to give them a reason why they have to agree, and let them know that the consequences of not going will be even worse.
And I don’t plan to come forward directly. Let my uncle Sheng come forward first and let him come forward to drag the Kang family and his son into the Salt and Iron Division.
After entering the Salt and Iron Division, it will be much easier for me to think about what to do. "
Seeing Li Hao's confident look, Zhang Guifen didn't say much, but she still kept a few extra thoughts in mind and was ready to help Li Hao check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
However, this matter has to wait until Li Hao goes to the Yamen. Now Li Hao hastily went to Ningyuan Hou Mansion.
After all, his family is currently having a funeral, and he couldn't help it since he was not in Bianjing originally, but now that he is back, he must go to pay his respects first.
But when Li Hao came to pay homage, he found that Gu Tingye was also really busy.
The main reason is that there is no head lady in charge of the entire Hou Mansion, and Gu Yankai is ill.
Gu Tingwei and his wife were not very useful, so all the matters in the house fell on Gu Tingye. He was so busy that he didn't even bother to say a few words to Li Hao.
Originally, Li Hao wanted to talk to him about how to deal with the Kang Wang family's affairs.
But looking at him like this, he couldn't find time to care about it for the time being, so Li Hao decided to do it himself first and just tell him the result directly.
In addition to keeping an eye on this matter, Li Hao also needs to keep an eye on the news from the palace.
I want to see if there will be any changes in the palace after Zhao Zonghan enters the palace.
Of course, Li Hao was not the only one who was watching the movements in the palace. The hundreds of officials in the court, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Zongquan were also watching the palace at all times.
It's just unexpected, this
The palace has been calm for two days. It seems that Zhao Zhen really intends to invite Zhao Zonghan into the palace to accompany him, rather than intentionally replacing Zhao Zongquan.
This also made everyone feel relieved, especially Zhao Zongquan.
It was in this atmosphere that Li Hao's vacation time ended quickly, so Li Hao returned to the Sansi Shangyamen.
Of course, when I first came back, the first thing I did was to visit my immediate boss, Chen Shengzhi.
Chen Shengzhi also expressed great enthusiasm for Li Hao's return, but under this concern, he would mention Zhao Zonghan from time to time. It was obvious that he was not interested in drinking.
But Li Hao really had nothing to say about Zhao Zonghan's situation, after all, his age was there.
Even though he is more mature than his peers, it is only so much. It is worth saying how much thoughts such a child can have.
So regarding Chen Shengzhi's questions, Li Hao told the truth and never added fuel to the fire.
In fact, these words are indeed useless in Li Hao's opinion.
But it seemed that Chen Shengzhi had concluded something, but when Li Hao asked, Chen Shengzhi didn't say anything.
But at least the two of them were chatting happily, at least on the surface.
After the conversation, Li Hao returned to the Salt and Iron Division. The first thing he did was to call Sheng Hong over and learn in detail about various matters that had happened in the Yamen during his absence.
After confirming that everything in the Salt and Iron Department was normal and there was indeed no problem, Li Hao could rest assured.
After talking about official matters, Li Hao talked to Sheng Hong about Minglan: "Uncle, I just heard that the eldest son of the Gu family died when I came back this time.
I just went to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion the day before yesterday, but Gu Tingye was busy all the time, so I didn’t ask any more questions because of the inconvenience.
I just heard that Ming Lan and Gu Tingye's marriage has also been postponed. This will have no impact on the Sheng family. "
Sheng Hong replied: "It doesn't matter, Ning Yuanhou has sent someone over to explain the situation.
The marriage between the two families will not be affected, they just have to re-schedule a wedding date. "
After hearing this, Li Hao said: "It's good that it's not affected. Originally, the two families are very different.
Now that the eldest brother Gu Tingye has passed away again, then Gu Tingye will inherit this title in the future.
That's why I'm worried about whether I'll meet someone jealous of the Sheng family and cause trouble for this wedding. "
Having said this, Sheng Hong naturally understood that Li Hao had heard the whole story from Wei, and he was teasing himself.
So he replied: "Some time ago, there were indeed some unpleasant rumors in Bianjing City.
But it's all over now, and it has no impact on the marriage between the two families, so I didn't delve into it further. "
After listening to Sheng Hong's casual words, Li Hao said, "Well, it's best if you can't be affected.
However, when dealing with people, it is still necessary to be on guard against subtle changes. After all, you cannot have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.
So now my uncle knows where these messages came from. "
Seeing Li Hao's look of getting to the bottom of things, Sheng Hong knew that Li Hao seemed to have to help the Wei family.
In fact, Sheng Hong wanted to teach his sister-in-law Kang Wang a lesson.
As long as the Kang family's reputation can be ignored, and the Wang family married their legitimate daughter to him when they were in their prime, and provided them with a lot of help, this great kindness should still be remembered.
So he explained: "This matter is actually just nonsense spoken by some ignorant people, and there is no need to take it seriously."
Li Hao laughed a few times after hearing this, and then said: "My uncle is really broad-minded. His daughter has been slandered by others, and he can still laugh it off. I really admire my nephew."
Seeing Sheng Hong like this, it didn't seem like he would take the initiative to cooperate, so Li Hao didn't plan to make any more detours.
He said directly: "Master Kang, Shanda's brother-in-law, had always wanted to join the Salt and Iron Division as an official. I wonder if he has a place to go now.
"
Seeing that Li Hao started to call him "sir" instead of calling him "uncle" as before, Sheng Hong immediately understood that he had annoyed Li Hao a little and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
So Sheng Hong became more cautious about his next answer: "Not yet, but he later asked the Wang family for help, so there should be progress soon."
Hearing this, Li Hao said: "Why bother the Wang family? Now the Salt and Iron Department is about to start checking the salt tax again, and there is a shortage of people.
Mr. Kang has been an official for many years, and I think he will be a man of talent. People in Shanda may wish to show their talents, and then I will report to the officials and include Mr. Kang in the Salt and Iron Department.
In this way, it can fulfill Mr. Kang's wish, and secondly, it can also show the ability of Shanda people. I don't know what Shanda people want. "
After listening to Li Hao's arrangements, any fool knew that Li Hao was deliberately setting a trap for Kang Haifeng.
Sheng Hong naturally didn't want to help Li Hao cheat Kang Hai Fengdu, so he wanted to refuse.
But Li Hao didn't want to listen to Sheng Hong's nonsense and said directly: "Why, Shanda people think that what I just said is inappropriate, so why don't Shanda people tell you what you have different opinions on."
After speaking, Li Hao looked at Sheng Hong with cold eyes to see if he would really come up with another opinion.
And Sheng Hong is not a fool, now that he has seen Li Hao's firm attitude.
When faced with the choice between offending Li Hao and Kang Haifeng, Sheng Hong decisively chose to sell Kang Haifeng.
After all, when the two of them compared, it was obvious that Li Hao was stronger and might be able to lead him to promotion in the future, while Kang Haifeng was just a laggard.
Now that he was ready to agree, Sheng Hong responded naturally and said, "This is what Mr. Kang wished. Mr. Kang will naturally not have any problems. I will just do it."
After hearing this, Li Hao smiled with satisfaction and continued: "What my uncle said makes sense.
However, this needs to be promoted, and we cannot stick to Mr. Kang alone. Mr. Kang's son Kang Lijin has also become an official, so he should also be recommended to join the Salt and Iron Division this time. "
Seeing that Li Hao started calling him uncle again, Sheng Hong understood that this was what Li Hao wanted.
So Sheng Hong didn't ask any more questions, but agreed immediately.
After all, the bottom line has been lowered, which makes it easier to accept it.
So the matter started smoothly under Sheng Hong's arrangement. Anyway, when they learned that they had the hope of joining the Salt and Iron Company, both the Kang family and his son were very grateful to Sheng Hong.
Of course, the main reason for this gratitude also stems from the Wang family's incompetence. Although the Wang family came forward to help them run official positions, the official positions that could be planned for them were indeed not very good jobs.
Now that he had a better choice, he naturally looked down on the Wang family's plan.
Li Hao also made great efforts not to disappoint the Kang family and his son.
Li Hao personally drafted a memorial to thoroughly investigate the southwest salt tax, and made a sincere request to start the preliminary work of inventorying well salt.
Of course, it was just preliminary work. After all, Li Hao just wanted to find a suitable opportunity to drive the Kang family to the southwest, and he didn't expect them to make much achievements.
Nowadays, Li Hao's main target is still Lianghuai, but Zhao Zhen is naturally not clear about this. He just listened to Li Hao and thought of the benefits of checking the salt tax, so he agreed to the matter.
So Li Hao took the opportunity to get the Kang family and his son into the Salt and Iron Department, and specially arranged to be responsible for the salt tax inspection of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road.
Of course, the Kang family and his son didn't know about this at this time. They were just immersed in the joy of joining this important department of the Salt and Iron Division.
In order to make them happy for a while, Li Hao began to prepare plans and arrangements for the investigation of Jingyan in private, and specially requested a decree for this matter to prevent the two people from escaping from the battle.
In fact, it was fortunate that Li Hao was well prepared, otherwise Kang Haifeng would have really wanted to find a reason to escape from this job and stay in Bianjing City to enjoy his happiness.
On the contrary, Kang Jin, Kang Haifeng's son, seemed to be more promising. After hearing the news, his first reaction was that he really wanted to start a career.
But I don’t know if he really has this ability or if it’s just the blind optimism of a young man.
Anyway, if they can really achieve results, Li Hao will not deny their contribution, everything will be up to them.
However, the father and son of the Kang family accepted their fate, but Mrs. Kang and Wang did not accept their fate, but she also knew that if she came to Li Hao, she would be humiliating herself, so she went to find Mrs. Wang again.
In the eyes of Kang Wang, Li Hao will definitely give in as long as the Wang family comes forward. She always has some inexplicable confidence in her natal family.
But this is not the case. Li Hao does not want to have a head-on confrontation with the Wang family, but at this time, the Wang family is only relying on the shadow of Mrs. Wang. In fact, the Wang family can withstand more storms than Li Hao.
So Mrs. Wang took Wang Shiping to Li Hao's place and had a long talk with Li Hao.
Li Hao made it clear that this was just a counterattack against Kang Wang's previous nonsense and would never affect the relationship between the two families.
At the same time, Li Hao also promised not to force him, as long as they stayed there for a while.
Afterwards, whether they were transferred due to their own merits or whether the Wang family helped them transfer, Li Hao would not intervene.
After reaching a consensus on these, the fate of Kang Wang and his family was decided.
As for what Mrs. Wang told the Kang family, Li Hao didn't know. Anyway, the Kang family set out on the journey to Sichuan Gorge Fourth Road as scheduled.
After they left, Li Hao told Mrs. Wei the good news, which was a relief for her.
But after handling this matter, Li Hao couldn't be idle, because Zhao Zhen arranged another errand for Li Hao, which was to be the prince's companion to Zhao Zonghan.
Of course, the meaning of companion reading here is not to accompany reading, but to teach the prince about scriptures and history, discipline the prince, and provide moral education like another prince's storyteller.
This close colleague of Li Hao is also an old acquaintance of Li Hao, a new scholar, Shi Qiheng, the censor of Jianyuan.
