"Brother, you didn't say you had to wait another two years. Why did you transfer me back so quickly?" Li Hao sat down on the sofa next to Li Xiao, picked up a cigar, and cut it carefully with cigar cutters.

"You kid, if you don't learn how to smoke, you will never learn to smoke this thing." Li Xiao smoked a cigar and looked at Li Hao who was clumsily cutting the cigar.

You can tell at a glance that this guy doesn't usually cut his own cigars.

Why……!

The young boy in front of me is no longer the boy who grabbed his clothes and shouted, "Brother, I want to eat steamed buns."

He was the governor of the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, and was about to serve as the second assistant to the Ming Dynasty and the second-in-command in government affairs.

"I have learned how to smoke a long time ago. You and my second brother threw me into the Marine Corps. There were no good people there. I still remember Scar teaching me how to kill.

At that time..., hey...!" Li Hao shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Oh, right!

That scar seemed to have become the battalion commander later. Where is he now?" Li Xiao thought of the tough killer with the scar on his face.

"He's the guard company commander at my place!" Li Hao finally cut the cigar. After waiting for a while, he found that no one was lighting the cigar for him, so he had to light the match himself.

"What is the organization of your security company? A battalion commander will be your security company?" Li Xiao glanced at Li Hao.

The Ming Dynasty had very strict control over the establishment. As the governor of seven provinces, Li Hao could have a guard company.

If any local governor dares to privately recruit guards beyond the establishment, he can be immediately dismissed.

This is something no one dares to touch.

Even Li Xiu, who was making waves overseas, did not dare to recruit guards beyond the establishment.

Li Hao's security company actually hired a battalion commander as the company commander. Could it be that this guy has been staying in Jiangnan for a long time.

Opening a government office and building eight residence halls, with the power of life and death over half of the country in his hands, is it starting to rise?

Dare to touch this red line?

"Brother, I don't dare to do things like crossing the thunder pool. But Scar committed a crime in the army and is about to be expelled.

You know, if he leaves the team, he can only become a bandit.

Nowadays, if you are a bandit, you will starve to death if you are not beaten to death.

I encountered five assassinations in Jiangnan, and Scar helped me get through them all.

Once, a roadside bomb exploded. If he hadn't discovered it in advance, what you see now would probably be my tomb." Li Hao saw Li Xiao's bad expression and hurriedly explained and clarified.

"Is the situation in Jiangnan still so unstable?" Li Xiao narrowed his eyes when he heard that Li Hao had been assassinated five times.

"It didn't work in the past few years, and farmers' lives were very difficult. Now it's much better, and farmers have divided their land.

The taxes collected by the imperial court were still small, and everyone's life was getting better day by day.

No matter how much those Donglin remnants, old and young, instigate, no one will listen."

"That's it! Scar did something that warranted his dismissal.

Your second brother is a very protective person, and he has your level of respect." Hearing what Li Hao said, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that instead of preventing the common people from rebelling, it is better to make the common people rich.

Everyone has had enough to eat and drink, and the wife and children are hot on the bed, so who has nothing to do to rebel?

Throughout the dynasties, rebellions without the participation of peasants were only worthy of being called rebellions.

"Don't mention it! We sent troops to plunder." Li Hao sighed.

"No way, overseas. Marines are not much different from bandits, they plunder and plunder.

It seems that every army will attack and loot!

Your second brother would deal with a capable battalion commander because of something like this?" Li Xiao was a little puzzled that Li Xiu would become selfless in such a matter.

"He...robbed the second sister-in-law...!" Li Hao said in a squeaky voice.

"What?" Li Xiao suspected that he heard wrongly.

The Marine Corps stole the commander's wife. This guy Scar is really...

"Second sister-in-law has some business overseas, but she refused to pay when she encountered a place where Scar was stationed.

Logically speaking, it’s fine if you show your font size and don’t pay.

But the manager of the second sister-in-law's house may have spoken in a shady way.

As a result, Scar immediately hanged him to death, and the goods were also...divided."

"Divided?" Li Xiao found it unbelievable. They dared to divide the commander's belongings?

"Yes! It's divided...!" Li Hao nodded solemnly.

"You dare to divide this?"

"Brother, you don't know that my sister-in-law has gone too far overseas.

Did you know that the king of Egypt is called Pharaoh?"

"Yeah! Got it, what's the matter?" Li Xiao nodded. He also knew about Ephinks and the Valley of the Kings.

I don’t understand why Li Hao suddenly asked about this.

“My sister-in-law actually dug graves and sent people to dig the tombs of the pharaohs of all generations.

It is said that a solid gold coffin was dug out, weighing two hundred kilograms!

Pure gold!

Tell me, there are so many serious businesses. You can make a lot of money every day even digging oil fields, why did you end up doing this?"

It can be seen that Li Hao looks down upon Zheng's archaeological career.

Li Xiao curled his lips, he did go a bit too far.

After all, he is also the emperor of Egypt. Doing this can easily arouse the national sentiments of the Egyptians.

The children of the Zheng family are all more or less mean-spirited. Boys are like this, and girls are like this too.

How come you can't make money by guarding a man like Li Xiu who always sticks to his word? He has to do these things that are not on the table.

"Moreover! Do you know?

Nowadays, when Western countries purchase our Ming warships, they all follow the Ersao route.

After giving the second sister-in-law a rebate, the second sister-in-law will help them lower the price.

It is said that when the Spaniards bought our battleship, she helped pay for almost one million silver coins.

The last time my family went to Xinjiapo to see Xiaoyu, they met the second sister-in-law. She said she got a kickback of 200,000 silver coins.

He also said that it was easy to make money, which made my family more active.

You said, this...!"

Li Hao hesitated to speak. It was wrong for his brother-in-law to talk about his sister-in-law like this. It can be seen that Li Hao really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Oh, has your sister-in-law ever experienced such a thing?" Li Xiao's thoughts were all on the military, and he didn't worry much about these things.

"Sister-in-law?

My sister-in-law is so crazy about money.

Did you know?

Your family has a stake in almost all the mines in Southeast Asia. No one dares to open mines in Southeast Asia and India without your sister-in-law’s nod.

Six out of ten oil fields in the Middle East belong to your family.

Eight of the ten refineries in Korea are owned by you. The remaining two are managed by Xiaoyu.

I'm afraid your family's money is now gold and silver.

To be honest, I also share a piece of the pie with my brothers.

Mr. Shi has always stayed at home since he was a child. He has the temperament of a young lady. She has no idea how to make money for the family!

I haven't saved much over the years.

The dignified governor of the seven provinces lived worse than a beggar.

If my sister-in-law hadn't paid some dividends every year, my life would have been almost unbearable.

In the past, I could also collect some ice toast, carbon toast and so on.

But your latest order is that no bad rules are allowed. With my position and identity, of course I have to set an example."

Li Hao was very helpless!

"Why are you crying for poverty? My family's income is 20% from you and 20% from Xiaoyu.

My family is rich in gold and silver, and your family is still short of money.

Don't blame Mr. Shi, that's how his family lives.

I asked Shi Dewei the other day that Mr. Shi still has a vegetable plot at home to grow vegetables.
