"Yes." Wang Yuantai hurriedly welcomed Cao Tian in, and then closed the door.

Cao Tian saw that he was not walking very well, so he showed concern: "The injury has not healed yet?" ”

Wang Yuantai smiled dryly: "If you are beaten to the point that your skin is open, how can you be cured so easily." ”

Cao Tian sighed lightly, handed over a small colored glazed medicine bottle, and said, "The gold sore medicine in this is what I asked for with a lot of money, and it has a miraculous effect, you can accept it." ”

"This ...... I can't do it, I can't do it. Wang Yuantai was flattered and waved his hand again and again, "How dare the little one accept your things." ”

"Look down on me, don't you?" Cao Tian feigned anger when he saw this, Wang Yuantai suddenly didn't dare to refuse, carefully took the medicine bottle, and thanked him repeatedly.

"Speaking of which, I blame you for being beaten." Cao Tian paced with his hands in his hands, and sighed to himself, "If I am in the city and intercede for you, you may be able to avoid this flesh and skin suffering." ”

"I can't blame you." Wang Yuantai hurriedly said, "It's all to blame for the villain's cheap mouth and offending Lord Thorn Shi." ”

Cao Tian looked at him suspiciously when he heard this, and asked, "What did you say to make Lord Thorn Shi so angry." ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Wang Yuantai drooped his eyelids and said with a wistful expression, "I met with Lord Thorn Shi four years ago, when there was a plague in Xuzhou, Li Thorn Shi was still a white body at the time, only fourteen years old, he said that he had a prescription for curing the plague, I would be suspicious, decided to try, and helped him send the prescription to the imperial doctor, I didn't expect that the prescription was really useful, and finally pacified the plague, and the villain was promoted, and he became the captain of Guoyi here." ”

"Oh." Cao Tian nodded when he heard this, and then frowned again, "In this way, you are indeed old people, and meeting in this desolate Tingzhou is also a rare happy event, why does he beat you so badly." ”

Wang Yuantai continued: "It's not because of the small mouth, when Lord Li first entered the city, after seeing the small one, he was very happy, and let the little one not be too restrained, the small one believed it to be true, so he called him by his name, and it happened that because of the recent shortage of rice and short grain at home, life was embarrassed, the little one wanted to borrow some money from him, and the little one heard that he was very rich, so he borrowed a little more." ”

"Oh?" Cao Tian raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much did you borrow from him?" ”

Wang Yuantai raised a finger, and Cao Tian asked, "A thousand?" ”

"Not so much." Wang Yuantai shook his head and said, "One hundred, the small one still owes Yun Meng sixty guan, and Yun Meng has asked the small one for several times, so the small one plans to borrow more from Master Li, pay back Yun Guoyi's money first, and fill the rest at home." ”

Cao Tian was silent when he heard this, over the years, he had suppressed Wang Yuantai very badly, saying that he was the lieutenant of Youguo Yi, but in fact, he had a false position, and he had been doing the drudgery of the leader of the city gate guards. Although guarding the city gate is a little hard, there is oil and water to be fished, because the caravan is exploited when the caravan enters the city, but Cao Tian of course thinks that Yun Meng is more credible, so every time a caravan enters the city, he will temporarily replace Wang Yuantai and send Yun Meng to the city gate to guard, by the way, the caravan is exploited, as for Wang Yuantai, where to stay where it is cool.

Wang Yuantai, as the captain of the dignified Weifu Guoyi, actually owed foreign debts, it was really embarrassing to say, Cao Tian was full of self-blame, and said: "Wang Guoyi, it was Cao who couldn't stand you in the past and made you suffer, don't worry, Yunmeng's money, you don't have to pay it back, not only that, as long as you follow me and do things for me, I guarantee that you will be rich and expensive in the future, and you will no longer spend money to satisfy the building." ”

Wang Yuantai was not very surprised when he heard this, he was very rich and expensive, it didn't cost money to go to the satisfaction building to find a girl, what a big temptation this is, he liked to go to the satisfaction building the most, after all, his wife was not around, and his demand in that area was relatively strong, so he went to the satisfaction building more often, which is also the reason why he owed a lot of debt.

Almost without much thought, Wang Yuantai nodded happily: "Cao Beijia, what's the matter, even if you tell me, the little one will do his best to complete it, and don't dare to procrastinate." ”

"Don't worry." Cao Tian took out a boxy brocade box from his arms and handed it to Wang Yuantai, raised his eyebrows and said, "Open it and take a look." ”

Wang Yuantai took the brocade box in a daze, opened it slowly, and suddenly saw that the golden light inside was dazzling, full of gold beads and jewelry, full of a box, no wonder he felt very heavy when he got it in his hand, this box full of gold and jewelry shocked him, and he didn't slow down for a long time.

Cao Tian smiled lightly: "This box of jewelry, to say the least, is worth a thousand yuan, as long as you promise to help me deal with Li Hao in the future, after the matter is completed, there will be ten more boxes." ”

"Ten boxes!" Wang Yuantai was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall.

Cao Tian added: "And in the future, the girl who is satisfied with the building, as long as you can eat well, you can play casually, and you don't need to give money." ”

"Wow!" Wang Yuantai's expression at the moment can only be described in four words - ecstatic.

Seeing Wang Yuantai's appearance, the corners of Cao Tian's mouth raised a smug smile, he knew that he had succeeded. Li Hao took away Yun Meng's Guo Yi lieutenant position, which made him lose his military power, which made him feel very passive, fortunately he inquired, and learned that Wang Yuantai was whipped by Li Hao more than ten times, and recuperated at home, he guessed that Wang Yuantai must have complained, so he came to envelop, under the purchase of words and money and beauty, Wang Yuantai really complied, this kind of little person is really easy to handle, but sometimes, small people are often the key to victory, because small people are often ignored.

Bought Wang Yuantai, Cao Tian did not intend to let Wang Yuantai be exposed so early, this is his surprisingly winning hole card, he told Wang Yuantai to try his best to please Li Hao after recovering from the injury, and strive to gain Li Hao's trust, in this way, Wang Yuantai has become a chess piece he placed next to Li Hao, if this chess piece breaks out at a critical moment, it can definitely reverse the overall situation.

With Wang Yuantai's chess piece, Cao Tian suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and then he waited and watched how Li Hao exploited this poor and white Tingzhou City, but what disappointed him was that Li Hao did not make any big moves next, nor did he have any exploitation, but cleared a large vacant land on the ruins in the north of the city, and then sent people to sow seeds there, I don't know what to plant, anyway, Li Hao sent people to guard there closely to prevent any outsiders from approaching, which is very mysterious.

A few days later, Li Hao opened a money bank in the city, named Datang Money Village, specializing in saving money and lending, of course, saving money and lending have interest, the interest on lending is slightly higher than the interest on saving money, if you borrow 100 Wen, for a year, the interest is only 5 Wen, which is very low. On the day of the opening of the bank, Li Hao personally cut the ribbon and delivered an important speech, naturally encouraging everyone to open a restaurant inn or something, and strive to make a fortune.

However, there were many people watching the excitement, but no one came to save or borrow money, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Fortunately, Li Hao has been prepared, what preparations? Torr! After being mixed in modern society for so long, can Li Hao not know the importance of trust, this time Li Hao arranged to trust Shi Najie's two nephews, Sava and Dika (not allowed to laugh), these two people saw a little cold, and immediately appeared, Sava wanted to save money, and Dika wanted to borrow, Li Hao immediately arranged for Qin Wei to go through the relevant procedures for them, and after a while, all the procedures were completed, Sava deposited one hundred taels of gold, and went back happily with the deed of saving, while Dika wanted to borrow thirty times, saying that he was going to open a restaurant in Tingzhou. Qin Wei verified his identity, and then told him that he was not credit enough, and he could borrow money, but he could not leave Tingzhou City after borrowing money, of course, if he bought a restaurant, he could use the deed as a mortgage, so that he could go out of the city, Decca of course nodded very cooperatively, and happily left with three taels of gold, in a border place like Tingzhou, the use rate of gold is very high, one or two gold is about ten Tang copper coins, and even a little higher.

Although some people were too ignorant to understand what was going on, they knew money and gold, and they clearly saw someone walking happily with three taels of gold, so everyone rushed up and borrowed money, and some even asked if they could borrow food.

Obviously, this kind of person wants to borrow money to eat, not to borrow money to do business, but it doesn't matter, Li Hao takes it all, but different people need to mortgage different things when they borrow, among them, those poor people have no assets to mortgage, so they mortgage people and mortgage their sons and daughters to Li Hao, as for those who have a little capital and want to do business, it will be easier to do it, mortgage land or real estate.

After a busy day, there were still a large number of people at the gate of Qianzhuang, Qin Wei was already tired enough, after all, he was the only accountant, where could he cope with it, Li Hao could only order the closure and let those people come back tomorrow.

The next morning, Li Hao got up on a whim and took a tape measure to measure his height, and found that he had grown two centimeters taller, and now the height of his bare feet has reached one meter six five, Li Hao was so happy, he unconsciously grew two centimeters taller, can he not be happy, he thought that this must be related to his own boxing, and after washing, he hurriedly drank some porridge, and then went to the courtyard to start practicing boxing.

Practicing and practicing, Li Yuanzhong suddenly ran into the courtyard in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly said: "My lord, it's not good, the grain shop in the city suddenly closed, and the people couldn't buy food, so they panicked, and they all gathered at the door of the grain shop to make trouble." ”

"What?" Li Hao frowned suddenly when he heard this, he remembered that there was only one Longchang grain shop in the city, and the boss behind the scenes was the Li family in Longxi, and it was because he learned that this rice shop was the property of the Li family in Longxi, so he didn't worry much about the problem of the grain shop, but now the grain shop suddenly closed down, and it was clear that he was against himself, and Li Hao even doubted whether Cao Tian had climbed the Li family in Longxi and Gao Zhi.

But he quickly dispelled this idea, what kind of power is the Li clan in Longxi, even if Cao Tian wants to climb, people are probably too lazy to look at him, so the question is, why is Longchang Grain Store so against him.

Li Hao frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Li Yuanzhong, who is in charge of the Longchang grain store?" ”

Li Yuanzhong replied: "It's a man named Li Tianxiang, who is about forty years old this year. ”

Li Hao said: "You disguise yourself, and then go and check this Li Tianxiang carefully for me, why did he suddenly close his business, as soon as there is news, come to report immediately." ”

"Yes!" Li Yuanzhong took the order and left.

After Li Yuanzhong left, Li Hao looked up at the sky, and after being silent for a long time, he sighed loudly: "In this era, food is the most important thing, and this time I was careless......
