"What is this?" Li Hao looked at this bowl of sticky stuff with unknown ingredients and immediately became wary. He has been pampered for many years, saying that he can endure hardships, so he can eat cold steamed buns and pickles. He said that he cannot endure hardships, and he has not liked it since he was a child.

Didn't touch a bite of anything.

The most typical one is the fennel stuffed dumplings made by Sister Qiao. Li Hao has not eaten them since he was a child. Not only does he not eat them, he has the urge to run away when he smells the smell.

"This is lotus root starch! You drank too much last night and vomited a lot, which hurt your spleen and stomach. Drink more lotus root starch to nourish your spleen and stomach." Xiaorong held the lotus root starch and took the small silver spoon handed over by the maid.

Inexplicably! Li Hao remembered a line, "Dalang! It's time to drink medicine!"

Under the attack of the beauty, Li Hao still drank the bowl of lotus root starch. Not to mention, it was much more comfortable to pour the heat into his stomach.

A bowl of hot rice porridge, two small steamed buns stuffed with crab roe, and a few dishes of pickles. I also ate a tea egg that Xiaorong peeled by myself, and my strength came back immediately. I beat it in the foyer.

With the punch, Li Hao felt that he could beat the tiger to death now.

Li Hao is satisfied with Xiaorong, and he is very satisfied. He has been in the valley all day long, and Fourth Master Li has never received such service.

Especially when those green onion-like fingers slide over the face, the feeling is naturally wonderful.

It's not like when Sister Qiao was wiping her face when she was a child, the basin clattered on the table, and the water was so hot that it could remove pig hair. When the towel was wiped on her face, her fingers would often stick into her nostrils. The nightmare-like memories are just like today.

Forming a strong contrast.

It’s hard to look back on the past!

"There are five hundred silver coins here, you can use them first." He casually took out a banknote from his pocket, and it turned out to be the maximum denomination of five hundred. Li Hao was too embarrassed to put it back and change it, and threw it directly to the maid Luluo.

.

"Thank you for the reward, young master!" Xiaorong was stunned for a moment when she saw the amount on it, and then she quickly saluted and thanked her.

Five hundred silver coins, if exchanged for food, could bury the entire courtyard alive. Now that they were thrown out so lightly, I didn't expect that this young man in ordinary clothes could be so generous.

How could Li Hao know this? He had never been to a brothel. He just took it out and was too embarrassed to put it in. The most precious thing for a young man in front of a beautiful girl is face.

In fact, Li Hao didn't spend much money. When he went into the mountains, local officials would usually be strictly ordered by their superiors to take good care of the young master. Although he had to go through the mountains and ravines, everything from servants to logistics was fully equipped, and

No one has ever dared to ask for a penny.

When he returns to the capital, his sister-in-law will give him a money bag. Then the dandies will treat each other. There are only a few high-end restaurants. Either the dandy’s own family owns it, or it is owned by the fifth master or Xie Youcai.

.

Mr. Li is here. Not only will he have good food, drinks and top-notch hospitality, but the owner of the house will personally go out and flatter him. Pay! If you dare to pay, you are looking down on people. Take the money back. If you are tight, just go to the store and get it. Take as much as you want.

It doesn't matter, it's all because of the commander-in-chief's promotion that we are where we are today, it's just superficial talk.

Eat! Drink! Also sleep, it’s time to go!

Li Hao put on his clothes and prepared to leave with his hands behind his back. Xiaorong had a sad expression on her face. This was not her professional habit, but... such a big golden pig was gone, so she had to find a way to lure him back.

.

The purchase price is 500 silver coins, but you must know that the money you collect is only 1,000 silver coins.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, three people suddenly walked in from the door. One of them was a fat man with a mustache and a waistline similar to his height. He was wearing a long coat embroidered with copper coins and a military crown on his head. He walked like a man on the ground.

is scrolling.

"Uncle Tong is here!" Seeing three people entering the door, Xiaorong and the maids hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Li Hao frowned. He knew where this place was and what the men who came here wanted to do. He could figure it out with his butt.

Uncle Tong ignored Xiaorong's master and servants, as if they were nothing, and did not even look at them. He walked up to Li Hao, held his fists in his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Hao is quite satisfied with Tong's reception?

"

"Entertainment?" Li Hao looked at Uncle Tong suspiciously.

"Oh! Little brother, you still don't know that this Piaoxiang Building is the property of our Mr. Tong." A person next to him introduced it very proudly. At a glance, he knew that he was a bastard.

"Not bad!" Li Hao said lightly, feeling the urge to get his money back.

"Haha! As long as Brother Hao is satisfied, Tong will naturally treat the distinguished guest well. Brother, please move over and have a cup of tea with Tong." With his fat body and smiling face, he looks like a big man.

Afu.

Li Hao frowned. In the Ming Dynasty, Fourth Master Li did not have to give any face. Anyone who dared to show his teeth to Fourth Master Li would be torn into pieces by his three violent brothers, and then thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. Not even the bones or scum would be left.

.

This uncle Tong dares to speak like this, which can only prove one thing: he does not know Li Hao's true identity.

Seeing that Li Hao didn't move, Xiaorong's arm immediately wrapped around his hand. She took Li Hao's hand and dragged Li Hao into the backyard.

Unexpectedly, there is a small garden in the backyard, also planted with blooming peach blossoms. In the middle of the small garden is a pavilion with stone steps. Tea has been brewed on the stone table, and there are two thick cushions on the stone bench.

"Brother Hao, please!" Uncle Tong had a smile in his eyes from beginning to end.

With a wave of Pangpang's hand, the maids, servants, and thugs all retreated, leaving only Xiaorong responsible for pouring tea and water.

"Brother Hao, I listened to your speech yesterday and admired you deeply. That's why I arranged what happened last night. It is said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Brother Hao, you have traveled all over my country at such an age.

The great Ming Dynasty has indeed a rare talent, and its future is limitless. Tong...!"

"Speak directly if you have something to say, no need to beat around the bush." ​​Li Hao was a little impatient. Fourth Master Li sat down and was willing to drink a cup of tea with you to give you face, but he kept nagging.

Uncle Tong was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Hao would be impatient. He thought that Li Hao would at least be grateful to him after having a romantic night last night, but he didn't expect that Li Hao would be so ungrateful. He was angry but couldn't express it.

I still have something to ask Li Hao for.

"Tong is a businessman, and the top priority in business is the topography of the world. The customs and customs of the north and south of the Yangtze River, as well as the road traffic everywhere, are money. Tong wants to cooperate with Brother Hao to draw a topographic map of the world. No.

Know……!"

"It's my job to draw topographic maps. I will draw them even if you don't tell me. But... I can't guarantee whether you can see it after the drawing is completed. Because there are some things that you are not qualified to know." Li

Hao glanced at Uncle Tong, the madam of a brothel, also wanted to get a topographic map of the world?

"Uh...!" Uncle Tong almost choked to death from Li Hao.

"Haha! Brother Hao is indeed...ah...!" With Uncle Tong's astuteness, he couldn't find anything to say.

"If it's okay, I'll say goodbye!" Li Hao stood up and wanted to leave.

Uncle Tong panicked and finally invited Li Hao here. What if he didn't achieve his goal? This was an excellent opportunity. As long as he could win over Li Hao, it would be equivalent to having a living map of the Ming Dynasty. The future of the family head

Planning is very important!

"As expected, he is a young and talented man. He is very eager for the topographic map of the world. If Brother Hao is willing to give it to me, I am willing to give him ten thousand silver coins as a gift. In addition, Miss Xiaorong can always be by Brother Hao's side. I don't know.

Brother Hao thinks, does Tong have the right to know now?"

Since you can't keep a beauty, then I'll just throw it at you with my fucking money. Ten thousand silver coins can be piled up to bury you alive, so I don't believe it can't be smashed.

"Ten thousand silver coins!" Li Hao raised his eyebrows. He had no idea about money. Although ten thousand silver coins were a lot, Li Hao didn't care too much. But he began to mutter in his heart that ten thousand silver coins was a good deal.

Such a big deal. He took 10,000 silver coins just for the topographic map of the world? Why is he so eager for the topographic map of the world?

Xiaorong looked a little embarrassed. This man just handed over five hundred silver coins. Although ten thousand silver coins was a large amount, I'm afraid it still wouldn't be able to defeat the young man in front of her.

He whispered in Uncle Tong's ear about Li Hao's casual reward of five hundred silver coins this morning.

Uncle Tong was shocked when he heard Xiaorong's words. He didn't expect that the inconspicuous young man in front of him was actually a small rich man.

"It turns out that little brother is also a wealthy person. So, little brother, you can name a price. As long as Tong can afford it, I'll be fine." After all, he is a man who has experienced storms. Uncle Tong calmed down quickly. Anyway, he is a person who has experienced storms.

It means using money to hit you. Even if you have a lot of wealth, I don’t believe it can’t hit you.

Li Hao took a closer look at the smiling fat man. There were many rich people in the world, but few had such magnanimity. He was actually willing to spend so much money in exchange for a topographic map of the world. What he wanted was a topographic map, or a topographic map?

The world?

"Mr. Tong!" Li Hao sat down again.

Uncle Tong's face immediately showed a proud look. No matter how noble you are, you still can't stand the temptation of money.

"I wonder why Mr. Tong paid such a high price to get the topographic map of the world?" Li Hao asked in confusion.

"Actually, things here cannot be told to outsiders, but since the little brother asked, Tong must treat me with sincerity, so that I can show my sincerity. In fact, my surname is not Tong, my surname is Tong! I am not from our Guanzhong, but

They are...Jurchens."

Li Hao's eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a needle nose, and he looked at the smiling fat man as if he were a ghost. His fat face was no longer as kind as before.

"Tong was ordered by the master of the family to stay in Xi'an city in order to collect information about the Ming Dynasty. As long as the little brother has drawn the topographic map of the world, after my master counterattacks and returns to the Ming Dynasty, he will surely repay us with wealth and honor.

Little brother, Tong has put his family and life in your hands. Does this... show his sincerity?" Uncle Tong's eyes were like two poisonous snakes, staring at Li Hao's face.

"So that's how it is, but you said that your master wants to counterattack the Ming Dynasty? The Liao army has strong soldiers and horses, and has peerless firearms to help. The Eight Banners' powerful army is no match for its heyday, and now...!"

"Hahaha! My little brother doesn't know that my master has gone to India thousands of miles away. He is recruiting troops with Mr. Wu Sangui there. Now he has trained hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves, and he is waiting for the right moment. Once the right moment comes,

Immediately counterattack the Ming Dynasty.

Although Li Xiao's Liao soldiers are powerful, they are no match for my master and Lord Wu. My little brother, you are still young, so you have to think about the future. As the saying goes, if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries.

When my master comes back, he will be rich and powerful."

"Oh!" Li Hao glanced at the Moon Gate, where there were so many people. Knowing other people's secrets, it would be very difficult to escape unscathed. If I don't reveal something today, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk out alive.

"Uncle Tong, aren't you afraid that I will go out and sue the officials?"

"Hahaha! So what if you go to sue the officials? In such a huge officialdom, do you know who we have bribed and who we have not bribed? What's more, the little brother stayed in my Piaoxiang Building for such a long time today. I will say that the little brother is a mess.
To be continued...
