"Who is not a baby?" Li Hao complained that he couldn't, and complained: "He Zheng Yan is the Shuxiang Sect's brother, so I'm still a tiger son, it's really..."

"Youyou, look at how you can do it, and you can still fight the tiger. There are so many people inside and outside the door, who can you beat like this tiger?!"

"I..." Inside the door was my mother and my maid, outside the door was Tiezhu, Xi Junmai, and Li Hao found that he could not beat anyone, so he scratched his head in a frustration: "Mom, you are really my mother!"

"Okay, stop muttering, hurry up and clean up. Yan Feibai, the Qizhou, is here, and you are waiting for you outside."

After stimulating Li Hao with other people's children, Hongfu finally remembered the important matter: "You gave someone an idea the day before yesterday to let others take advantage of the drought to clean up the river. Now you can't be too slapped and you won't lose the Li family's people."

"Don't worry, mom, don't you know who I am?"

"I just came to warn you when I knew it. I told you that Chang'an has a bad reputation for you now. If you offend local officials, you will have good results after you go back."

After a big stick, Hongfu took the only maid who left behind, leaving Li Hao alone to recall what my mother meant.

You know, Hong Fu has been in Qishan County for some time. Except for saying goodbye to him the day before, the day when he was very happy, the dragon was so excited that he could not even meet him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Hao didn't think about it, and finally stopped thinking about it. He went out to see the old man Yan Feibai without eating.

Yan Feibai had already dried three bowls of herbal tea at this moment, and his butt was almost calloused. When he heard footsteps coming from the back hall, he immediately stood up to meet him: "My nephew has finally gotten up. If you don't get up again, Uncle Yu is afraid he will be anxious."

"Uncle Shi, don't be anxious, sit down and say, sit down and say." Li Hao pulled Yan Feibai back to his seat: "Come on, come on, tea."

"Stop serving tea, I can't drink it anymore." Yan Feibai waved his hands repeatedly with his 'bang' belly, "Nephew, I have thought about it for a while these two days, and I think it's really a good idea to take advantage of the drought to clean the drought."

Seeing Yan Feibai's look of wanting to speak but stopping, Li Hao felt something: "What? What's the difficulty of Uncle Shi?"

"This..." Yan Feibai rubbed his hands: "The nephew is really smart and has a torch. Uncle Yu actually has something to ask for here, but he just doesn't know how to speak."

Seeing that Yan Feibai was going around in circles, Li Hao simply said bluntly: "Uncle Shi is short of food, right?"

Last year, the Huang disaster was in the Huang period, and Guanzhong's grain production was reduced on a large scale. Not only did the prefectures not collect grain, but the people were compensated a lot at the beginning of this year. Now, the severe drought that happened once in a decade has made the granary that is already ineffective, and it has completely lost its ability to deal with drought.

Of course, if it is just used for disaster relief, the Qizhou granary can still support it for a period of time. At most, it is to let the people exercise less and rest more. If you only eat one meal of porridge every day, you will not starve to death.

But if you want to use labor instead of relief and let the people get motivated to participate in river dredging work, a meal of porridge every day will not work. Large exercise will inevitably bring about a lot of food consumption. If the people don’t have enough food, it will be rebellious.

Seeing that the topic had been revealed, Yan Feibai smiled bitterly: "I know that nothing can be hidden from my nephew. Well, Uncle Yu will tell the truth. If the remaining grain in Qizhou is saved, it can last for another three to four months. If the civil servants are recruited to clean up the dredging, at most one month, the whole mansion will be exhausted."

Although Li Hao was prepared for a long time, he was still jumped by Yan Feibai's conclusion: "There is only such a little food? No, even if the drought is not cleaned, the people of Qizhou will not be able to hold on to the autumn. I want to know, if this drought lasts for another one to two months, wouldn't Qizhou really starve to death?"

"So Uncle Yu is not begging you to come." Yan Feibai said with a shameful look: "Your nephew can see if you can borrow Uncle Yu to buy some money. No need to spend more, just one hundred thousand guan. The remaining Uncle Yu will let the gentry of Qizhou Prefecture gather together. As long as you have money, Uncle Yu can buy grain from the south."

"How can that be done?" Li Hao was not a fool, so he stopped doing it when he heard it. He changed the subject and said, "Eunuch Yan, there is no reason for private subsidies to the government in this world. Besides, even if I am willing to lend money to Qizhou Prefecture, what will your Qizhou Prefecture pay me back in the future?"

"Then, can I borrow it from my nephew?"

"Haha..." Li Hao sneered: "100,000 guan, I can double the money in a year. Hey, even if I don't have interest for the sake of the envoy, when will you pay off these 100,000 guan?"

Before, he even called him Uncle Shi, but as soon as he added money, he immediately became a messenger. This guy turned against him and said that he turned against him. The first disaster in Chang'an is indeed worthy of his reputation.

Fortunately, Yan Feibai is not a person who is confused. He was not angry when he was criticized. He said carefully: "The prince is kind-hearted, so you will pity the people of Qizhou. The official promises you that the money will be paid back within ten years. If it is not paid back, I will die and my son will continue to repay it."

"Ten years?" Li Hao rubbed his fingers and changed his tone: "Uncle Shi, I will calculate it for you. I always need some interest when borrowing money. Let's calculate it based on the 9th and 13th return. The donkey rolls and the profit is going to be better. Isn't it a year to turn it over?

That means, after the first year, you owe me 200,000 yuan, after the second year, you owe me 400,000 yuan, in the third year, and in the fourth year, you owe me 1.6 million yuan….”

"Stop, don't, stop talking." Yan Feibai's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he swallowed his saliva: "Criminal, I am the lower, I am the lower official, no, can I borrow it?"

Are you kidding? If you follow this double method, Yan Feibai will not have enough grandsons to say no to his son.

Li Hao looked at Yan Feibai with a smile, shook his head and said, "That's not true. This prince is the most shameful person for suffering. I have borrowed the money."

Yan Feibai was about to cry, and he deeply regretted why he came to Li Hao to speak.

Even though he knew that he was a scoundrel, why did he believe in his evil spirits and think that he would find out with conscience?

"The prince..."

"Hey, what's wrong with Uncle Shi? Could it be that he looks down on his nephew?"

"No, I..." Yan Feibai felt that he was about to be ruined, and he was confused for a while and made up his mind: "Nephew, you should give Uncle Yu a good time."

"Hahaha..." Li Hao couldn't help but laughed, and said for a while: "Uncle Shi, it was just a joke to you just now, don't take it to heart."

Yan Feibai shook his head and didn't dare to answer the conversation. Who knew if this kid would turn against him in a while?

Seeing this, Li Hao didn't care and continued to smile and said, "Actually, it's really not a big deal for me. Even if Uncle Shi doesn't pay it back, I won't take it seriously. But there are too many Prefectures in Guanzhong. If I lend it to Uncle Shi today, will I borrow it tomorrow? If I don't lend it, it will offend others. If you don't lend it, you will offend people. If you ask Your Majesty to think of me, it's a wealth that can rival the country? You can pay your own money to support the people of Guanzhong?"

It is a good thing to have money ability, but it also needs to be used in some places.

Chen Wansan was rich hundreds of years later, and was truly rich enough to rival a country. In the end, he even expanded to the point of spending millions of taels of gold to reward Zhu Yuanzhang for his army.

But as a result, Lao Zhu said, and directly confiscated his home and became a military officer. Wan Guan’s family fortune directly gave his surname Zhu.

Yan Feibai was worried before, but he didn't expect this at all. When Li Hao said this, he was stunned and muttered helplessly: "This, how can this cause trouble? Can the people of Qizhou have to... can only......"

Seeing this, Li Hao showed a smug smile, his fingers lightly buckled the tabletop, and said with a slight slightest words: "Actually..., there is no way, the key is whether you are willing to give up, Uncle Shi."

"What method?" Yan Feibai was excited and immediately realized that Li Hao should have been deliberately trying to cheer up his appetite. He didn't care much at the moment and said directly: "If you have any requests for your nephew, just ask. As long as Yan can do it, you will never shirk your responsibilities."

"Okay, what I want is Uncle Shi's words."

Li Hao stood up and came to Yan Feibai: "I plan to do a business with Uncle Shi. As long as Uncle Shi agrees, I will pack it no matter how much grain is short of Qizhou."

"Really?" Yan Feibai looked at Li Hao in disbelief and asked with some uncertainty: "What kind of business is the nephew planning to do with Uncle Yu?"

"Build a road and build a cement road leading to Weizhou. The grain needed in Qizhou can be used as my early investment. When the road is repaired in the future, I will charge half of the transit fee."

Yan Feibai said that he could not understand the conditions proposed by Li Hao: "Nephew, are you...are you sure you want to do this?"

"Not bad." Li Haozheng pointed: "As long as Uncle Shi agrees, I can sign a contract with you right now. Of course, not with Uncle Shi personally, but with Qizhou Prefecture."

"Why? The caravans in Qizhou were very limited in the past, so my nephew was not afraid of the money being wasted?"

Yan Feibai still knows about cement roads. Although the road surface is flat and easy to maintain, the initial investment is not small. Although Qizhou is not very large, it will take at least 300,000 yuan to build such a road. This is just the money for materials. If the labor is included, the cost can be said to be in the sea.

Qizhou is not as good as Chang'an. Not to mention the remoteness, there are not many caravans passing through the border. It is estimated that there are not even three or five hundred years to recover the money.

Of course, Li Hao knew that there were not many caravans passing through Qizhou. Not only that, he also knew the few caravans - Tuyuhun.

However, the current situation is not as good as before. Tuyuhun was tortured at the beginning of the year. The king of the country, Fu Yun, had even set off to report to Chang'an. Such Tuyuhun will naturally not continue to rob the trade route.

In other words, in the future, a large number of caravans traveling between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty will choose the southern route hundreds of miles closer than the Northern Silk Road, and Qizhou is located at the starting point of the Southern Silk Road.

"Uncle Shi doesn't care about the number of caravans. Just consider whether you agree to my request. If you agree, we will sign the contract immediately and the grain will be delivered to you within one month."

Yan Feibai didn't know that there were so many tricks here. In his opinion, this was Li Hao deliberately found an excuse to support him. His eyes were red when he was moved: "This..., how many days will the nephew think about it?"

"No need to consider it." Li Hao said firmly: "Uncle Shi, if we don't object, we will plan a contract."

Time is money. In a few days, will you know if the news about Tuyuhun will reach Qizhou. If the news spreads there, it is impossible to make a 55% chance of "toll" with Qizhou Prefecture.

Although Yan Feibai felt a little sorry for Li Hao, he did not be too polite to him for the sake of the people of Qizhou and for the life-saving food. He called the accompanying clerk, took out his seal, and slashed it and made a deal!

Half an hour after everything was settled, Yan Feibai looked relaxed and said, "Nephew, you made this cement road. If you want to repair it, you can't stand by and watch."

"That's natural, my nephew will naturally not be able to get along with the money." Li Hao said with a smile.

Yan Feibai smacked his lips and always felt that he was in debt to Li Hao.

There were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and I just invested it in Qizhou. I don’t know when the cost will be recovered. If the adults at home know about it...

Yan Feibai shivered and suddenly remembered that Hongfu was still in Qishan County. If she knew that she had taken such a big advantage, she wouldn't have come with a sword.

Old Yan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly sighed, "Nephew, Uncle Yu thought about it for a while, but still felt that this matter was a bit sorry for you. Otherwise, you can see if there are any other requirements. As long as it does not violate the principles, Uncle Yu agrees."

Li Hao's eyes rolled, what's the good thing? Take the initiative to give me a gift?

Since that's the case, why are you still polite?

At this moment, Li Hao showed an embarrassed expression: "Since Uncle Shi said that, if my nephew refuses, it would be a little ignorant. It would be better to do this. If Uncle Shi really wants to compensate me, I will sell the useless mountainous land in Chencang County to my nephew."

Since ancient times, Chencang has been a mountain of six parts, one part of water and three parts of fields. Aside from historical significance, the grain produced cannot even be supplied by itself. It is one of the most impoverished counties in Qizhou.

Yan Feibai originally thought that if Li Hao wanted to buy land in other places, he might be a little embarrassed, but when he heard that he actually wanted the mountain in Chen Cang, he didn't even hesitate, so he nodded directly: "No problem, it's just a useless barren mountain. If you want it, Uncle Yu will give you a price of 200,000 yuan."

The price is 200,000 yuan? Li Hao's mouth twitched.

This is a bit of a big advantage! I'm very afraid of whether it's good or not.

Six out of ten of the whole county in Chencang are mountains, which is equivalent to spending 200,000 yuan to buy six out of ten counties?

But he didn't know that Yan Feibai was also a little worried at this time. He sold a useless barren mountain to Li Hao, actually he was thinking of using the waste. After all, the mountain was also placed there, so it would be better to exchange it for money.
