The luxurious black four-wheeled double carriage drove smoothly along the wide concrete road towards the Songyueshan Villa.

The car was in good condition and the road was good, so there was almost no bumpiness, but the people in the car looked a little dizzy.

"Brother, how could you do this?" Jiang Xueying sat there with a blushing face. How could she still look cold and indifferent?

"That's right, it's too much..." Li Mingyue, who was sitting next to her, also had red ears, and her former calm and confident look was gone.

"Please forgive me, my two sisters. I haven't seen you for a long time. I am so happy." Zhao Hao sat opposite the two of them, and he no longer had the arrogance he had just shown. He just kept saying sorry. "I didn't think straight for a moment and got carried away."

As he said this, he quickly slapped his left hand with his right hand. "Why can't I control this hand?"

"Is it wrong that Big Brother only has his left hand?" Li Mingyue pouted her red lips, unwillingly.

"Uh..." Even though Mr. Zhao was very scheming, he didn't react for a while. He stared at his hands, thinking, I'm not an Indian, is there any difference between my left hand and my right hand?

He thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered that he had just hugged Li Mingyue with his left hand and Jiang Xueying with his right hand. He quickly hit his right hand with his left hand. "You are both wrong. You shouldn't have reached out!"

"Brother, what's the point of you saying this now? How are we going to face people in the future?" Jiang Xueying puffed up her fair cheeks and refused to give in.

"That's right, it's so embarrassing..." Li Mingyue also nodded quickly.

"My dear sisters, rest assured," Young Master Zhao said to them, "If anyone dares to say a single word, I will throw him into the sea."

"Even if I don't say anything nonsense, others will still think too much about it." Jiang Xueying said, biting her red lips lightly.

"Don't even think about it!" Young Master Zhao waved his hand, exuding a domineering aura, and then smiled bitterly, "It seems that this is none of my business..."

The two girls said in unison: "So you have to find a way."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Young Master Zhao patted his chest and said, "I'll take care of everything. You don't need to worry about it!"

"You said it, don't play tricks in the future!" Although Mingyue and Xueying didn't know what method he had, they still chose to believe him.

"Whoever cheats is a puppy!"

"Come on, pinky promise."

"Let's make a pinky promise." Zhao Hao quickly stretched out his little finger, of course, both his left and right hands.

The two girls chose the far side instead of the near one. Mingyue pinkied with his left hand, and Xueying pinkied with his right hand. Fortunately, there was no third one, otherwise where would Mr. Zhao find a third hand?

After taking the reassurance from Brother Zhao, the two girls felt relieved. Although this was not the best solution in their minds, it was not the worst one either. They originally thought that there was no room for two tigers in one mountain, and one of them was destined to be eliminated...

Now it seems that although we don’t know what Brother Zhao is going to do, the worst that can happen is that there will be two capitals in the north and south, and two palaces in the east and west.

good.

~~

Once the fundamental problem was solved, the atmosphere in the car immediately became harmonious.

Only then did Zhao Hao dare to ask why the two of them came to Tamra?

It turned out that his beloved godmother, Her Royal Highness the Princess, could not stand the cold weather in October, so she took a royal shipping fleet to Jiangnan to spend the winter, and naturally the young princess and her siblings had to go along.

"By the way, Xiaojing is here too." Li Mingyue swung her feet and told Zhao Hao a 'good news'.

"Really?" Young Master Zhao responded casually. Hearing that Zhang Xiaojing was here, he was very happy, which showed that 'Luo Hong' was not a heartless thing. It's just that she has become enlightened. After Young Master Zhao finished speaking, of course he would not show his joy at this time. He smiled lightly and said, "I thought Mr. Zhang would not let her come again."

He remembered that when they were in the capital, Zhang Juzheng clearly wanted him to stay away from his beloved daughter. He really didn't expect that his idol would let her go.

"Yes, we had given up hope at first. Xiao Zhuzi just tried to mention it to Mr. Zhang, but who would have thought that he actually agreed."

"Oh?" Zhao Hao touched his chin and smiled with a self-satisfied look on his face: "Why has Mr. Zhang become so easy to talk to?"

"I heard that he is so busy now that he is not at home all day. I guess he can't take care of Xiaojing." Li Mingyue said.

"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded. After returning to the garrison, he had already read the intelligence summary in Beijing. In short, Gao Xianggong was superb. Gao Xianggong had a five-kill. No one could stop Gao Xianggong anymore...

So if you only read the Dichao, you would think Gao Gong was the chief minister of the cabinet, or that Gao Gong was the only one in the cabinet.

However, the Ming officialdom, which had been slack for a long time, needed such a strong man who could really work hard to change the atmosphere and improve efficiency. Let's put it this way, in the nearly half a year since Gao Gong came out, the court had already dealt with most of the things that had been squeezed out in the previous seven or eight years.

I heard that Prime Minister Gao is planning to make a big move next year to completely resolve the border threats of the Ming Dynasty... It would be strange if Zhang Juzheng, the Grand Secretary in charge of military affairs, was not busy.

But being busy is not a reason for Zhang Juzheng to let his daughter go south. Wouldn't that be sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth? Bah, Master Zhao just wants Xiao Zhuzi to be happy, not to covet her body.

"But Xiaojing is not here to play this time." Mingyue changed the subject and said, "She has become Sister Huaixiu's apprentice and is learning to be a captain."

"Sister Huaixiu isn't the captain, so she can't drive a boat, right?" Zhao Hao felt a pang in his heart, and muttered, "She is the one who manages the captain..."

"Anyway, it'll be fine as long as Sister Huaixiu can help her become a qualified captain." Mingyue said with admiration, "Xiaojing said that when she learns, she will buy a boat and go out to sea, and sail around the world like that 'selling this ship', and become the greatest navigator of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Around the world voyage is not as wonderful as she imagined." Mr. Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't imagine what the beautiful little bamboo would become after sailing around the world.

"Brother, don't you think Xiaojing's idea is great? We girls can also be captains!" Li Mingyue waved her pink fist excitedly and said, "I want to be like her..."

"What? You want to travel around the world too?" Young Master Zhao was surprised and said, "No way, absolutely not!"

The image of Mary Read and Anne Donnie, the pair of female pirates, suddenly appeared in his mind. Who was he then? Cotton Jack?

"No, I mean, do something meaningful." Li Mingyue changed the subject and put her arm around Xueying's shoulders and said, "I've been learning how to manage a company from Xueying recently."

"Oh? Yes, why are you interested in this?" Zhao Hao was stunned and thought to himself that it seemed that I had been away for too long and there were too many things I didn't know.

"Mom said that my brother is useless and Xishan Group will let me take over sooner or later..." Li Mingyue said anxiously, "But I don't know anything, so I have to be Xueying's apprentice first, and then try to start my own business next year."

"Ah, business is good. You are my godmother's daughter, so there will be no problem." As long as she didn't ask for a round-the-world voyage, Zhao Hao would agree to anything she wanted. "We will all help you with advice when the time comes."

"That's great. Big brother, what kind of business do you think we should do? How about we open a restaurant? Oh no, there's Wei Ji Xian... then let's open a teahouse?" Li Mingyue immediately became interested, but looking at her like this, it seemed that there were more fun elements.

Zhao Hao asked about Jiang Xueying again. It turned out that she was representing the group to inspect Tianjin Port and signed a series of cooperation agreements with Xishan Group. Naturally, Li Mingyue came along as well.

"I was wondering if I could run into my brother when I passed by Jeju Island this time. I didn't expect that I would actually run into him." Xueying smiled with her hands covering her mouth, unable to hide the affection in her beautiful eyes. It was obvious that she expected Zhao Hao to come back around this time, so she made an excuse to come and take him home.

Seeing her increasingly thin figure, Zhao Hao felt warm in his heart, and reached out to hold Xueying's hand, just about to say a few cheesy words, but then he felt a chill in his heart, and quickly held Mingyue's hand.

Alas, if we try to keep both parties equal, there will be no atmosphere of flirting.

It can be seen that love is more natural when it comes to one-on-one relationships.

Fortunately, at this time, the carriage stopped at the villa, relieving Mr. Zhao's embarrassment.

~~

At this moment, the main construction of the New Port Fort has been basically completed, but there is definitely no time to renovate it before the New Year, so the group still lives in Tang Youde's Songyue Mountain Villa.

Fatty Tang held a grand banquet in the villa to entertain Mr. Zhao and his female friends. He also arranged cheerful Korean songs and dances, and the beautiful dancers of the Li Dynasty spun in circles with crane steps and willow hands. It was the first time for the girls to watch it, and they were very happy.

Master Zhao exchanged a few more words with Chen Huaixiu and Zhang Xiaojing before he heaved a sigh of relief and sat sideways at the small table, looking exhausted.

"Sir, it's not easy to enjoy the happiness of having many wives, right?" Tang Youde said with a smile as he poured him a glass of wine, "The five or six women in my family always quarrel with each other. This year I finally have an excuse not to go home for the New Year, so I don't have to worry about it."

"Hehe..." Zhao Hao glanced at him and was too lazy to say anything. This young master obviously just wants everyone to be happy, not like you, an old pervert who only wants your own sexual happiness!

He always felt that it was only appropriate to complain about family troubles after the age of thirty, so he changed the subject and said, "You said on the boat that you would fight poison with poison. How do you plan to deal with the Kirishitan?"

According to the plan, the group will move 10,000 immigrants to the island next year to fill the new port city. Then within three years, it will strive to increase the number of Han people on the island to 50,000, specializing in animal husbandry.

There were only more than 40,000 Joseon people on the island, most of whom were Joseon pariahs. By then, Tamra Island would be under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Hao planned to gradually increase the number of immigrants to 200,000 within ten years, so that Tamra would be permanently under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

This is incredible for other countries. But for the Ming Dynasty, which has a population of nearly 300 million and is extremely inward-looking, it is just a trivial flood.

Therefore, Master Zhao must do a good job of isolating the Christians, otherwise when the time comes, the immigrants will become the Lord's flock of sheep, and he will have no place to cry.

"Let's preach too!" Tang Youde said with a beaming face, "We have Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in the Ming Dynasty. Well, Confucianism is not suitable for the lower class, but Buddhism and Taoism should be fine, right? Young Master, go back and send me a group of monks and Taoists, and I guarantee that those red-haired devils will be squeezed out of here in disgrace!"

"Are you so confident?" Zhao Hao's eyes lit up. This was indeed a solution.

p.s. Sorry, I'm taking care of my kids on the weekend, so there's only one chapter.
