…
Just as Zhao Hao saw off several business owners, left Yixianlou and returned to the inn.
Xiangfeng Villa.
At this moment, in the huge garden, an old man with extraordinary bearing, wearing a beige robe, was sitting opposite a middle-aged man in a purple robe in the pavilion, chatting and drinking tea.
Not long after, the middle-aged man in purple robe said goodbye and left, and a waiter immediately came to the old man.
"Your Highness, the great Wushuang Marquis Zhao Hao went to Princess Yucheng's residence this morning and stayed there for about half an hour."
"Then I returned to the posthouse, and an hour ago, I went to Yixian Tower to meet the owners of the four major businesses."
"He just left and returned to the posthouse."
Hearing this, the old man nodded slightly and said calmly: "Before this king arrived, this young Wushuang Marquis had not made any moves."
"The king has just arrived and he has already started to take action. It seems that he feels the pressure?"
The waiter said, "Your Highness, Zhao Hao is meeting Princess Yu Chengzhang now. It is obvious that he wants to cooperate in business and ask for her help to promote the relationship between Shu and Dagan."
"But why did he meet with several business owners at the same time?"
"Although these big companies are backed by some great families and can have some say in the court, they can't play a big role after all."
"Your Majesty, this action of his..."
The old man smiled and said, "Don't worry. It's not clear now because it's not the right time yet. When the time comes, you will know it naturally."
The waiter said quickly: "But, Your Majesty, if we don't know the other party's purpose, we can't respond in advance."
The old man said confidently: "What the other party wants is nothing more than to prevent Shu from joining our Wu and Southern Chu."
"Even if we take a step back, we will definitely delay Shu's decision."
“And this is also what we think.”
"Everyone thinks that my purpose in going to Shu this time is to put pressure on Shu and force it to join our coalition as soon as possible."
"But……"
“We don’t want to do that.”
"We also need to hold back Shu. As long as we prevent it from falling over to Dagan, our goal will be achieved."
The waiter hesitated for a moment and said, "Then the prince met with many important officials of Shu Kingdom so frequently, just to give people the false impression that the prince is very anxious?"
The old man laughed and praised: "Yes, the Prime Minister has made plans for all our actions in Shu and the actions of the other party. We just need to follow the plan."
The waiter couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, then what should we do about Zhao Hao?"
The old man shook his head and said, "No, all we have to do is stabilize the Shu army, that's all."
"As for the little guy, let him do whatever he wants."
"Of course, in addition to purchasing grain from Shu, this is the top priority. The Prime Minister has repeatedly warned us not to make any mistakes."
"I think the purpose of this Wushuang Marquis meeting these business owners is also to purchase grain."
"Keep watching and see what they do next."
The waiter nodded quickly: "Yes."
On the other hand, after Zhao Hao returned to the inn, he locked himself in the room to write a letter.
It was just a letter, but he wrote a thicker one than ten normal letters. He spent almost the entire afternoon writing it. It was not until Dashan urged him several times that he finally finished and came out of the room.
Seeing Zhao Hao, Dashan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, you finally came out. I thought you couldn't finish writing."
As soon as the words came out, Dashan was stunned for a moment, and then he apologized repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, sir. Dashan definitely didn't mean that."
Zhao Hao smiled softly, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, take it to Her Royal Highness, and tell Her Royal Highness that after arriving at Dagan, when the letter is given to Princess Lianrou, Princess Lianrou will understand."
Dashan nodded quickly and took the envelope: "Yes, sir."
Looking at Dashan's back as he walked out, Wu Song stepped forward and said, "Sir, it seems that Dashan's identity is consistent with your previous guess."
"Otherwise, even if it was Princess Li Ge's attendant, she would never dare to say such words subconsciously."
Zhao Hao smiled, and Wu Song couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sir, has Princess Lianrou really improved the new spinning wheel? Can one person do the work of more than ten or twenty people?"
Even now, when he thinks about this, he still can't believe it.
He didn't understand other things, but he knew a lot about spinning wheels. He and his brother were raised by their mother since childhood.
In addition to working as a maid for other families, my mother relied on a very old spinning wheel to spin some odd pieces of cloth to supplement the family income.
The spinning wheel at home was always breaking down, and he had no idea how many times he had helped repair it.
No matter how much he tried to repair it, he never thought that it could be improved.
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Princess Lianrou has been researching and improving the spinning wheel since last year, but it may not be successful now."
Wu Song was startled and asked quickly, "Sir, why did you let Princess Li Ge leave now? What if Princess Li Ge leaves and Princess Lian Rou hasn't improved the spinning wheel yet?"
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, didn't I give Princess Li Ge a letter? After Princess Lian Rou reads the letter, she will naturally be able to improve the spinning wheel successfully."
When Wu Song heard what Zhao Hao said, his eyes widened in shock.
"Sir, are you saying that your letter contains a method for improvement?"
"But if Princess Li Ge or anyone else opens the letter, wouldn't it be known to others?"
Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, I just gave some simple hints. It's useless for others to see them."
"Besides, the letter is in Princess Li Ge's hands. She will definitely not rashly open it."
Wu Song finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, what should we do next?"
Zhao Hao said, "When Dashan comes back, ask him and Qingniao to pick a quiet courtyard tomorrow. We won't be staying at the inn anymore, it's not very convenient, so we'll try to move there before dark tomorrow."
Wu Song nodded: "Then I will ask everyone below to get ready, and we will move directly after Zhao Hao's residence is reached tomorrow."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly: "Okay."
The next day, Princess Li Ge left the imperial capital quietly with a team of guards without any fanfare.
With the help of Dashan, it took less than a day, but less than two hours, to find a very suitable villa.
The group moved out of the post house before noon.
Zhao Hao was in a very good mood as he walked in the villa. Although the villa was not large, it was quite quiet and elegant, and was decorated with great care.
"Dashan, this villa is probably not cheap, right?"
"Sir, this was actually prepared for you by Her Royal Highness the Princess a long time ago, and she has had someone clean it every day. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found such a suitable one so quickly."
"oh?"
