Lu Yun didn't speak, because he didn't have any ideas, he didn't know much about Wu Meiniang, he just felt that this woman was not simple.

Li Hao thought about it for a long time, and felt that he could only offer Wu Meiniang as an ancestor at present.

This kind of woman has the ability to bewitch the public, and she must not let the people in the family talk to her, so he said to Lu Yun: "You send someone to clean up the east courtyard, and the garden is also repaired, the speed must be fast, let Wu Meiniang move in tomorrow, let Yun'er serve her living, remember, tell all the people in the family, including Turandot, to be respectful to her, not to be lazy, but it is best not to talk to her more, otherwise the whip will serve!" As for the title, let Turandot call him a martial girl, and let the servants call him a young lady. When he said the word Miss, he specially accentuated the tone, and his heart was fiercely funny.

"Yes." After hearing this, Lu Yun gave up his hand, opened the door and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Li Hao suddenly shouted again.

Lu Yun turned around and asked, "What else does the young master command?" ”

Li Hao smiled awkwardly: "Send me a pair of shorts first." ”

Lu Yun looked at a damp spot on his shorts and smiled knowingly: "Okay." After saying that, he walked out of the private room.

It didn't take long for Lu Yun to send shorts to Li Hao, Li Hao quickly changed them, then put on his clothes and walked out of the private room, came to the front yard, and happened to see Du Hong.

As soon as Du Hong wanted to salute, he was stopped by Li Hao and said, "Come with me to the study." After saying that, he walked straight to the study.

Li Hao took Du Hong to the study, closed the door, and then asked: "Du Hong, last night was in a hurry, I didn't have time to ask more, now I have leisure, you tell me, during the time I was away, what major things happened at home?" ”

"Nope." Du Hong said, "The house has been very quiet, and nothing major has happened. ”

Li Hao nodded: "What about business, what is the current economic situation of the family?" ”

Du Hong was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Young master, everything is good in the family's business, even the tea business has begun to make money, and there must be forty or fifty thousand yuan every year, and now there is too much money in the warehouse at our house, and the old slave has exchanged it for gold and silver, and there are 60,000 taels of gold and 300,000 taels of silver in the treasury, and if you add the working capital in each store, there are about 1.5 million yuan." ”

"So much!" Li Hao exclaimed when he heard this, and said happily, "Okay, keep it up, Du Hong, I have a new business idea, and you are going to be busy again." ”

Du Hong bowed excitedly and said, "The old slave is willing to die for the young master, please give the young master's orders." ”

Li Hao said: "I plan to start two new businesses, one is a newspaper and the other is a bank, which requires a lot of manpower, you find me 50 down-and-out readers, 50 bookkeepers who are very good at settling accounts, 30 craftsmen who make bookshop carving plates, and 30 bookshop printing workers." At the same time, you will also help me buy thirteen stores in Chang'an City, and two stores in each of the surrounding counties. ”

Du Hong bowed down and took the order: "Yes, young master, do you have any other orders?" ”

Li Hao said: "Let Lu Zhi come to see me." ”

"Yes, the old slave is retired." Du Hong finished speaking and exited the study.

After more than ten minutes, Lu Zhi's voice sounded outside the door of the study: "Lu Zhi greets the young master." ”

"Come in." Li Hao said, "The door is not locked. ”

Lu Zhi pushed the door in, closed the door smoothly, and saluted Li Hao, Li Hao stopped the picture he was drawing, looked up at him, and saw that Lu Zhi's face was pale and his complexion was very bad, obviously caused by the lack of oxygen and sunlight in the underground secret room for a long time.

Li Hao couldn't help but care: "Lu Zhi, if you have leisure in the future, take the craftsmen out for a walk every day, as long as you don't leave the gate of my Li Mansion, you will be fine, don't nest in the secret room all day long, like a mouse, this is very bad for your health." ”

Lu Zhi was moved when he heard this, but he didn't expect Li Hao to not go home for two years, and the first thing he said after returning home was such a concerned word, and he couldn't help but reddened his eyes: "The old slave thank you for your care, and Hou Ye should also take care of his body." ”

"Okay, let's not say hello, let's get straight to the point." Li Hao got up and walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "How many crossbows have you built in the past two years?" ”

Lu Zhidao: "Back to the young master, there are currently nearly 1,000 repeating crossbows, 100 bed crossbows, 300,000 arrows for repeating crossbows, and 50,000 arrows for bed crossbows. ”

"Good work." Li Hao nodded, and said thoughtfully, "You guys stop for a while, help me build a Fang Tian painting halberd, and give it to Xue Rengui, he has a lot of strength, and he can't use ordinary weapons." ”

As he spoke, he returned to his desk, picked up two pieces of paper and handed them to Lu Zhi, and said: "This first one is a model of the drawing Fang Tian Painting Halberd, you can build it according to this size and model, it must be exactly the same, and the second one is the magic method of forging steel, which can allow you to forge good steel, remember, the material of this Fang Tian Painting Halberd must be good." ”

Lu Zhi also knew a little bit about blacksmith skills, and after looking at the two pieces of paper, he hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, Master Hou, we will do our best." ”

Li Hao said with satisfaction: "Well, it must be the best, after creating this Fang Tian Painting Halberd, make a big box and put it up, send it to me, I will personally send it to Xue Rengui, and then you can rest for a while, and the crossbow and arrows will not be done for the time being." ”

"Yes."

Sent away Lu Zhi, Li Hao walked out of the study, ready to find Hu Dashan and Hu Xiaohai, I didn't expect these two people to come to find themselves, coincidentally, Li Hao took the two of them to the study, and then explained to them the role of newspapers and banks, he was not ready to open a bank, but directly called the bank, Hu Dashan has read for so many years, there is still a little material in his stomach, Li Hao decided to let him be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, as for Hu Xiaohai, he is shrewd and lively, and has an excellent memory, Li Hao is ready to teach him some simple arithmetic, So that he can be the president of the bank, and he will be in charge of the accounts.

The position of editor-in-chief of the newspaper is not stressful for Hu Dashan, after all, he is familiar with poetry and books, even if he can't write too good articles, it is still no problem to review the articles.

As for Hu Xiaohai, he used to help work in the chicken wishbone shop, and also helped to calculate the accounts, his ability to manage the accounts is not bad, and the abacus also makes the thief slip, but Li Hao must let him learn the arithmetic of the future world, the ancient arithmetic is too troublesome and complicated, and when calculating the accounts, it is really half the effort, and once there is a mistake or omission, it is difficult to investigate.

Li Hao even began to teach Hu Xiaohai arithmetic, when he taught Hu Xiaohai the most basic Arabic numerals, Hu Xiaohai was shocked, first he thought these symbols were so strange, how to look at how awkward, because there was too much difference with Chinese characters, but when Li Hao taught him the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of Arabic numerals, and then with the abacus, he found that accounting and bookkeeping can become so simple.

When Li Hao first started to do business, he invented the abacus, which is convenient for the shopkeeper to settle accounts, and now the abacus has long been popularized among the major merchants in Chang'an, and it is no longer a novelty.

Li Hao taught Hu Xiaohai the form bookkeeping method again, Hu Xiaohai was suddenly so excited that he was about to go crazy, as if he had found the true meaning of life, he was crazy to simulate the accounting, keep the accounts, and then check, and he was very happy.

Li Hao has to admit that Hu Xiaohai is a mathematical genius, and he can teach things about mathematics, of course, he has a foundation in Chinese mathematics after all, and now he just changes to a more concise way.

At the same time, Li Hao also had to sigh that Arab businessmen were very smart and could invent something of epoch-making significance such as Arabic numerals, but I'm sorry, now that these numbers have become Li Hao's invention, those Arabs can only cry and faint in the toilet.

It was almost noon, Hu Dashan was simulating reading manuscripts in the study, Hu Xiaohai was crackling and dialing the plan, simulating accounting and bookkeeping, both of them were very busy, and Li Hao was lying on the rattan chair with his eyes closed and recuperating, busy and lazy.

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Li Hao closed his eyes and asked, "Who?" ”

"I, Li Ping."

Li Hao got up and went over to open the door, only to see Li Ping standing outside the door, looking at him with a resentful face, Li Hao walked out of the door and asked, "What's wrong, why do you have this expression?" ”

"When are you going to take me to see my father?" Li Ping asked with a pout.

"......Forehead" Li Hao suddenly scratched his head, to be honest, he was a little afraid to see Li Daozong, not to mention that he was suspected of abducting his daughter, he originally thought that when he was in Chang'an yesterday, Li Daozong would come to take Li Ping away, but he didn't expect Li Daozong to never appear.

He was about to reply, and suddenly remembered one thing, in history, Li Daozong seemed to be imprisoned for corruption and perversion of the law in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, and later he was released from prison in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan and was transferred to Jinzhou Assassin History, if there is no deviation in history, then now Li Daozong should be in Jinzhou.

Li Hao hurriedly called Du Hong and asked him if he knew about it, Du Hong said that he didn't know, Li Hao was strange, could it be that history has deviated, and Li Daozong's fate has been changed due to his repeated contact with him? But if you say so, this is illogical, if Li Daozong is in Chang'an, why didn't he come forward to take Li Ping away yesterday, for the sake of Li Ping's reputation? Or did he not transfer to Tingzhou, but to other places? Or rather...... Is he still in prison? Not out of prison yet?

It's a pity that Li Hao just returned to Chang'an, and he was a little blind about the current situation in Chang'an, so he was going to go to Chang'an alone, inquire about the news, and visit a few uncles by the way.

Li Hao was just about to prepare a gift, but the porter Wang San suddenly ran in in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly said: "Young master, there are many soldiers and horses outside the door, hundreds of people!" The leader seems to be the general who sent you back last night! ”

"Chen Bin?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said to himself in doubt, "What is he doing with soldiers and horses?" ”

With doubts in his stomach, Li Hao came to the gate of the mansion, and sure enough, he saw Chen Bin with two hundred Zuo Wuwei neatly lined up at the door, and his momentum was amazing.

As soon as he saw Li Hao come out, Chen Bin immediately turned over and dismounted and saluted: "Chen Bin, the lowly general of the left military guard, was ordered to lead two hundred left military guards to protect Lord Hou Li of Lantian County. ”

Li Hao's eyebrows danced wildly when he heard this: "Li Shimin, this is doing hair again?" Spying on me? ”
