Longjiang Bao Shipyard, No. 1 on the pond.

The autumn wind blew Zhao Hao and Wu Shilai's robes into a hunting sound.

"Nephew, are you crazy?" Listening to Zhao Hao's nonsense, Uncle Wu shouted in a low voice: "Just by your words, I can arrest you, do you know?" ”

"Will Uncle?" Zhao Hao blinked.

"Of course not...... Wu Shilai said with a wry smile: "Which of us is with whom?" ”

The reason why he was so tolerant and even indulgent to Zhao Hao was not only because the two had old friends, nor because his nephew Wu Kangyuan was very fresh in Beijing, nor because Zhao Hao also gave him the shares of Lugouqiao Company......

Well, these add up to a pretty good job.

What makes Wu Zhongcheng really grateful to Zhao Hao is because Zhao Hao saved his career.

It was in the first half of this year, and Xu Fan wanted to arrange for him to go to Guangdong as a governor before class.

Moreover, at that time, Wu Shilai was still the right and right of the fourth grade, and he went to Guangdong to be the governor of the third grade.

But Xu Fan had a condition, asking him to recommend a group of local officials according to the rules before he took office...... Because Cao Jiang Yushi has a certain right to supervise the officials of all states and counties along the Yangtze River, of course, he can also recommend the talents found.

This is the proper meaning of the question, although the list issued by the elder of the small pavilion is a little more numerous...... There were fifty-nine of them.

Well, it's too much.

But fortunately, they are all petty officials of the seventh grade and below, and they don't need to be in the imperial court, and he is not a person who can have the final say.

In addition, he didn't know that Xu Ge was about to give a minister, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything, and was ready to pinch his nose and go to the book.

However, it was then that Wu Kangyuan wrote to him from Beijing. The letter conveyed Zhao Hao's warning - Xu Ge Lao was about to send a letter to Shi, and if he accepted the appointment of the governor of Guangdong, he would definitely be impeached and his career would end.

Although Zhao Hao's words seemed to be endless, the letter clearly mentioned the existence of the 'list of fifty-nine people', which frightened Wu Shilai.

He would never have thought that Zhao Gongzi was using the Great Prophecy Technique to issue a warning. Therefore, he will only make up for the high-level struggle that he doesn't know about, and the list of fifty-nine people is afraid that it has become a talisman-like existence.

Wu Shilai had tasted the pain of losing everything, and he didn't dare to risk losing the black yarn again. For him, it would be tantamount to dying again.

So Uncle Wu made a difficult decision, he wrote back to Xu Fan that he dreamed of a fairy, and told him not to travel south for three years, otherwise there would be disaster. So give this precious opportunity to someone else.

Xu Fan was about to get out of the way and go home, and there was nothing he could do at this time, so he could only scold him for getting bolder and younger, and at the same time go to negotiate conditions with others.

The result really made Zhao Hao say, the old brother who seized this precious opportunity and was promoted by the court as the governor of Guangdong, indiscriminately raised 30 cronies before going to office, was impeached and dismissed, and returned to his hometown to live idle......

This can make Wu Shilai scared. I've got twice as many people as I can recommend. If I hadn't listened to Zhao Hao's advice, I was afraid that I would have been imprisoned......

So Wu Shilai is very grateful to Zhao Hao, otherwise why would he give him that beautiful 'Science'?

~~

However, gratitude is gratitude, and it is still impossible to let him take on the big role for Zhao Hao.

So Wu Shilai persuaded bitterly: "Virtuous nephew, uncle, I can only take care of the Yangtze River." Out of the mouth of the Yangtze River, the sailors of the imperial court are not something I can manage, and the sea ban of the imperial court is not a joke, do you know?! ”

"Of course I do." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "I didn't say that I wanted to violate the sea ban." ”

"Uh......" Wu Shilai smacked his lips and said, "You obviously said you were going to sea." ”

"You build it first, and I will wait for the approval of the imperial court before going to sea, is there any problem?" Zhao Gongzi said with a look of 'you are so strange': "Who does Uncle Wu think of me?" Am I that unreliable? ”

"Hehe......" Wu Shilai said in his heart, of course you are, and I don't know who almost buckled the hot air balloon on the old man Xu Ge.

"If you really don't go to sea without the approval of the imperial court?" However, Wu Shilai still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seriously." Zhao Gongzi nodded decisively and said, "If my company's ship violates the sea ban, Uncle Wu will directly arrest me." ”

"Are you so sure?" Wu Shilai looked at Zhao Hao suspiciously, and said in a low voice: "Virtuous nephew, don't sell Guanzi, just tell me what you want to do!" ”

"I'm going to take a gamble." Zhao Gongzi didn't intend to hide it from him, so he replied lightly: "Bet that the flooding of the Yellow River next year will lead to the blockage of the canal." ”

"Canal blockage?" Wu Shilai was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he spit out four words and said: "Grain shipping? ”

"Not bad." Zhao Hao nodded, this is nothing new, the Yuan Dynasty did it. Wu Shilai, a capable official, naturally guessed it.

"No wonder." Wu Shilai suddenly said: "No wonder you want so many ships, how can you use them without them?" ”

"Yes, millions of stone of grain are not enough without hundreds or thousands of big ships." Zhao Hao nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Virtuous nephew, are you sure the imperial court can approve it?" Wu Shilai frowned and asked: "There has always been a call for shipping grain, but why has it not been successful?" Isn't it because there's too much resistance? ”

"So we have to seize the moment and make the final decision!" Zhao Gongzi said with a serious expression: "The opportunity is fleeting, so you must prepare in advance." ”

After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, it's a little late to prepare now......

"Nephew, are you sure that the Yellow River will flood next year?" Wu Shilai naturally understood what he meant. The capital and the nine borders are all fed by grain, and if the canal fails, no one can object, and the imperial court tries other options.

But the premise is that the canal must be blocked, and it must not be small-scale, it must be a large section, so that the canal is basically useless.

"Of course you can't pack a ticket." Zhao Hao opened his eyes and said nonsense: "But Pan Zhongcheng told me that there will be a big blockage in the canal in two or three years." But next year and the year after tomorrow will be the same, anyway, 400 ships with thousands of materials, how can they be built for two or three years, right? ”

"That's it......" I heard that there was Pan Jitao's assertion, and Wu Shilai did not doubt it.

At this time, an old man surnamed Pan, who was rushing to Chongming Island, suddenly sneezed, and at the same time felt that his back seemed to be heavy......

~~

After pondering on the pond for a long time, Wu Zhongcheng asked Zhao Hao again, before getting the will, these ships really won't go to sea?

After getting Zhao Hao's affirmative reply, he babbled and told his eldest nephew that he must count when he speaks, otherwise his uncle will not be able to protect you.

Just when Zhao Hao's head was about to explode, Wu Shilai suddenly regained his expression of not being angry and arrogant, and shouted to the shipyard hiding far away: "Get out!" ”

The lift hurried over. "What do you command?"

"Aren't you complaining about the lack of business?" Wu Shilai said coldly: "This hospital has pulled business for you." ”
