Luo Wuchen's heart was shocked: He is very talented in chess skills. Even though Li Hanyao is also talented, he is five years younger than him. How can he surpass him? This sister Li is so evil!

Sweat dripped from Luo Wuchen's head.

Li Hanyao became more and more calm.

"Bang!"

Li Hanyao fell down and looked at Luo Wuchen and smiled, "Brother Wuchen, I promised it! You didn't let me? I promised not to let it go first."

Luo Wuchen stood up and smiled bitterly, "Sister is joking. Brother Yu wants to let go, but he doesn't have the confidence. In my opinion, my sister has not done her best yet."

Li Hanyao waved her hands and said, "I tried my best and used all my strength to feed my breasts. I'm hungry."

Everyone laughed when they said something.

After this game, Luo Xia saw that Li Hanyao was different: Although she was born in a business family, she was taught by a father like Li Zhuohang, who was good at poetry and books, was good at layout, and could manage it. Wuchen had such a wife to assist her, and would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

He praised Li Hanyao endlessly.

Li Zhuohang also praised Luo Wuchen and said, "Yaoer won a game in a small game, which is nothing. What Wuchen learned is not comparable to what she, a girl, can compare with!"

Luoxia is humble in her mouth, but she also thinks so in her heart.

Luo Wuchen didn't dare to think so. When he saw Li Hanyao, he reported those books casually. It was obvious that he had a wide range of reading on weekdays, so he didn't dare to underestimate her.

He couldn't help but want to approach her and get to know her. When he finished the meal and had tea, he looked at Li Hanyao expectantly and asked, "Would you like another game?"

Li Hanyao was just thinking this way and nodded happily.

The two started the battle again.

The beginning was extremely relaxed. Luo Wuchen asked Li Hanyao with a smile, "Is it good for my sister to let my brother and I do?" He jokingly said, teasing the child.

Li Hanyao said: "No! I've struggled to win you just now, so I won't let you!"

Luo Wuchen pretended to be regretful and said, "I won't let you... I want to beat my sister."

Li Hanyao said: "Let's showdown fairly."

Luo Wuchen said: "Brother Yu is five years older. Does your sister think this is fair?"

Li Hanyao said: "It's fair. I'm willing to endure hardships. I use it for two days a day. It's about the same age as Brother Wuchen."

Luo Wuchen said: "Can you still calculate this?"

Li Hanyao said: "Of course, diligence can make up for your shortcomings."

Luo Wuchen said: "Sister means, Brother Yu is a lazy guy?"

Li Hanyao said: "I didn't say it. It's because my brother is too careless."

Luo Wuchen said, "Okay, I'm so kind. Brother Yu sees my sister playing on the chessboard, with superb chess skills and great ambitions."

Li Hanyao said: "Brother has no ambition?"

Luo Wuchen had to admit that there was, wouldn’t a young man be laughed at if he had no ambitions?

Li Hanyao looked at him with contempt and said, "Brother is too hypocritical! Isn't ambition just ambition? Why don't you give in without ambition?"

Luo Wuchen hurriedly said, "There is still a difference between the two..."

Li Hanyao said: "That's what you said wrong! Why do you say I am just ambition, and you are your own ambition? Why is I am just ambition to win chess with a dignified attitude?"

Luo Wuchen said, "It's Brother Yu who said it wrong."

Li Hanyao said tolerantly: "If you make mistakes, you can correct them. There is no greater good."

Luo Wuchen kept talking at her red little mouth, and did not delay his whereabouts. He couldn't help but smile, and had never been so pleasant.

Li Zhuohang and Luo Xia looked at the pair of children and were both happy: Li Zhuohang felt that Luo Wuchen was open-minded and unrestrained, and Luo Xia also felt that Li Hanyao was straightforward and cute but not arrogant and willful. She was a good daughter-in-law, so she was closer to Li Zhuohang.

Li Zhuohang continued to explain Luoxia's errands.

Li Zhuohangdao: "Since my brother is willing to give in, I must trust you with me: Taiping Business Huizhou Branch has now been handed over to my clan brother Li Zhuoyuan, and I will manage the accounting and restrain my clan brother..."

He told Luoxia the ten-year agreement between him and Li Zhuoyuan, and asked Luoxia to stare at him for him, so that if Li Zhuoyuan was calm and complacent, he would stop; if he used the means, he would report to him in time so that he could respond.

Luoxia said solemnly: "Brother Li, please rest assured, this is my duty."

He was trusted by Li Zhuohang and felt relieved, indicating that he was making a living by his ability, rather than Li Zhuohang taking care of him on Ge Ting's face.

After the explanation, Li Zhuohang should take Luo Xia to the front to get to know her errands and colleagues. However, Li Hanyao was playing chess with Luo Wuchen, and it was quite etiquette for the two children to contact them in front of them. It would be inappropriate if they left them alone. Therefore, Li Zhuohang did not get up and talked to Luo Xia about Qinghua Mansion.

Li Hanyao and Luo Wuchen spent an afternoon.

The Luo family and his son had supper at the Li family before leaving.

After seeing them off, Li Zhuohang asked Li Hanyao unintentionally: "You brother Luo's chess skills, what is your chess skills?" He asked very cleverly.

Li Hanyao said happily: "Very good."

She really felt that Luo Wuchen had a good personality, her chess skills were comparable to hers, and she was talented and talented. He could take whatever he said, and he played very well today.

When Li Zhuohang saw her, he only said two words, but he could tell that she was very happy. He had a good impression of Luo Wuchen. He was both happy and sour for a while. He was happy that there was finally a boy who could choose a son-in-law, but he was reluctant to leave his daughter to marry.

Soon, he had no time to feel uncomfortable.

The next morning, Wang Zhao sent someone to ask him to go to the yamen of the jail. He was not the only one who went there, but also more than a dozen local gentry from Huizhou.

Wang Zhao and a group of officials sat in the hall.

Li Zhuohang sat down and heard that he was summoning them to raise military funds.

Because the governor of Huizhou asked to transfer local imperial guards to quell the rebellion, the general said that there was no military expenditure. In any war, the troops and horses should move first before they were moved, and there was no military expenditure or military supplies. How to fight? The state agreed to him for 100,000 taels of military expenditure, not including subsequent rewards.

Wang Zhao was eager to wipe out Butcher Ye and Hu Qingfeng and others, for fear that things would change if they were delayed for a long time. He could not wait for the governor and the governor to plan to allocate this expense, and took the initiative to collect military expenses, saying that he wanted to raise funds.

This donation-raising trend is prevalent in Jiangnan.

There are many wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. If you want to make a smooth business, you need to handle the government properly: you need to raise funds when disasters occur, you need to raise funds when building roads, and you need to raise funds when building water conservancy. There are many names. Although Huizhou is not as rich as Huzhou and Linhuzhou, officials are reluctant to give up this way of making money, and often fabricate names and plunder money.

Wang Zhao told everyone that the rioters rebelled and the world was not peaceful, and everyone's business would also be affected. He specially cited the example of the Taiping shop in the Li family in Qinghua Prefecture and was looted because of the attacks of the rioters, confirming that the harm was right around everyone. It was not that he was exaggerated, so he had to send troops to suppress it.

When everyone heard about it, they all looked at Li Zhuohang.

Li Zhuohang was clamoring for blood to tell the truth, but he couldn't tell it, and it was useless to tell it, and it caused trouble to the Li family instead.

But he must not agree.

He said, "In fact, those victims were bewitched by people with ulterior motives. The man said that the Li family colluded with the government and reselled the official grain for disaster relief, so the victims were angry. After the villain explained to them, they also knew that they had made a mistake. The food and property were sent to them by the villain. The villain has been providing disaster relief in Qinghua Mansion." He also said to Wang Zhao: "You can send someone to check, who is behind the scenes."

Wang Zhao said: "This official has already found out that there are evil people among the victims who are making trouble. Mr. Li has fallen into their trap."

Everyone suddenly said, "So that's it."

Li Zhuohang lowered his eyes - he knew it was the result. This was still what he said implicitly. If he pointed directly at the master Liu and the person behind the scenes, he would probably be unable to escape silence.

After Wang Zhao announced, he let everyone scatter and went back to discuss peace and raise money, leaving Li Zhuohang alone - as long as Li Zhuohang donates, others will not donate.
