Miwa has good observation skills. Today, the island has indeed strengthened its security. It’s not that someone is here to spy on the secrets, but Mr. Zhao is coming to inspect...
Just as the mother and daughter passed by, the big ship that Zhao Hao was on also appeared outside Dasheng Bay.
Mr. Zhao was wearing a well-cut snow-white robe, sunglasses on his nose, and waving a folding fan in his hand, on which were written four big characters "Kunshan Rise Up".
Behind him, the young master Xu Weizi was holding an umbrella for him to block the strong afternoon sunlight.
This made Zhao Shixi, who was originally holding an umbrella for Zhao Hao, very upset, thinking that he had taken his job. But the other party was the grandson of the Duke, and he was superior to the son of the governor, so he could only silently get angry.
Xu Yuanchun was standing aside wearing a straw hat. He came to see his second uncle today.
Speaking of which, he and Xu Weizi have been in Kunshan for half a month.
But Master Zhao was always so busy, like a dragon that was hard to find, that he couldn't even spare the time to meet them.
The two had no choice but to take the initiative and follow Zhao Hao onto the boat.
~~
How could Mr. Zhao be that busy?
His greatest ability is to know people and assign them to the right positions.
Well, to put it simply, it means "use the prophets to find talented people, find ways to coax them to do the work, and then feel free to be lazy."
At present, the county affairs are in charge of Xu Wei and Wu Chengen.
The students were taught by Li Zhi.
On the dike, the great river minister Pan Jixun was watching.
The hospital is guarded by three giants: Li Shizhen, Wan Mizhai and Li Lunming.
Zhang Jian and Zhao Shizhen were tinkering with the engineering equipment.
Jin Ke and Hua Bozhen are guarding Xishan Island.
Oh, and there’s also the super invincible Sister Jiang who takes care of everyone’s logistics…
Young Master Zhao is not like his father, who has to stay on the dike all the time and serve as a spiritual idol for everyone.
In fact, the elders in the county almost forgot about this young master who had angrily rebuked the inspector.
It really doesn't matter if he's one more or one less.
But everyone was so busy that they forgot to eat and sleep. How could he, the leader hidden behind the scenes, have the nerve to be lazy and hide in the county government office to escape the summer heat?
Even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend to be busy. For example, if you come to Xishan for inspection, you can legitimately spend two days, which can also be regarded as a small vacation for yourself.
Pretending to be busy is tiring, okay?
~~
So Zhao Hao simply didn't want to bother with the two Mr. Xu.
Xu Yuanchun's side is easy to understand. You Xu family want to make trouble, so you make trouble, you want to negotiate, so you negotiate. Who do you think of me?
I sell my art but not my smile, and I have a temper. Let's talk about it when I want to!
As for Young Master Xu, they had no grudges against each other. Moreover, this boy was of noble status and flattered Zhao Hao, which made him feel very comfortable.
But Master Zhao was very wary of him. As the saying goes, when one is courteous to a wise man, one must have something in mind.
Zhao Hao could guess with his toes why this guy came to him. It must be about fighting for the inheritance.
It was well known that Duke Xu Pengju of Wei wanted to depose the eldest son and enthronize the youngest. In order to allow his youngest son to inherit the title in the future, he bribed Zhou Jijiu through Shao Fang, the great hero of Danyang, last year, hoping that Xu Bangning would study martial arts in the Imperial Academy.
Unexpectedly, Xu Bangning offended Zhao Hao and was threatened by Zhao Hao with this matter, forcing the young master Daowei Jixian to apologize to Mr. Zhao in public.
Zhou Jijiu was also frightened by Zhao Hao and dared not get involved in this mess no matter what.
But a year later, the situation changed again. When the results of the imperial examination were announced last year, the students of the Imperial Academy were dissatisfied with the cancellation of their privileges and gathered to cause trouble. In the end, Zhou Jijiu was punished and demoted.
This year, the Nanjing Imperial College has a new chief priest, Jiang Bao, and Zhao Hao and his son have also left Nanjing. Duke Wei, who only cares about food but not about punishment, has become more active, so he uses the same old trick to continue to make Xu Bangning go to prison.
Zhao Hao saw through this clearly and knew that Xu Bangrui, the poor and unloved eldest son of the Duke of Wei, would definitely be unable to sit still.
He probably heard from somewhere that he was the eldest princess's godson, a guest of honor of three cabinet ministers, and that he had a grudge against Xu Bangning.
So, based on the idea that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, he asked his son to come to him for help...that's why Xu Weizi was so humble.
But the troubles of the Duke of Wei's family are just a long, boring soap opera with high ratings. Once you get involved in it, there's no way you can get out of it for a while.
Moreover, he won't gain any benefit but will get himself into trouble. Mr. Zhao is so busy, why would he seek trouble for himself?
~~
The two Xu brothers followed Zhao Hao onto the boat and Zhao Hao couldn't kick them off, so he had to take them to Xishan together.
Fortunately, the two were sensible and did not mention their own troubles along the way. They just served Master Zhao wholeheartedly.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you, so Zhao Hao just let them do as they pleased.
At this time, the large ship slowly sailed into Dasheng Bay under the guidance of the patrol sand boat.
Everyone saw that the original wooden pier had been turned into a white-gray cement concrete pier.
There are three piers extending from the dock, two for cargo transportation and one for daily use.
Next to the two freight piers, there are ten 400-ton ships belonging to Wu Ji.
On the pier, there were trucks loaded with cement. Workers unloaded bags of cement one by one, carried them on their shoulders, and lined up to load them onto the ship.
A team of gunners in khaki uniforms isolated the other pier.
Jin Ke and Hua Bozhen had been waiting at the pier with their men for a long time. When they saw the big ship approaching, they hurried forward and helped Mr. Zhao down with a smile on their faces.
"No need to support me, my legs and feet are very nimble." Zhao Hao was carried off the boat helplessly.
"Alas, my dear brother, what you said is wrong. A god-like person like you cannot have any mistakes. That would be a loss for the Ming Dynasty." Hua Bozhen said seriously.
"Yeah." Jin Ke nodded, agreeing with it.
"..." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes helplessly. It seemed that he had been doing too many new things recently, and people around him no longer regarded him as a human being.
This is why he has to hide behind the scenes. If ordinary people knew about his great achievements, wouldn't they worship him as a living god?
If you build a shrine for yourself and burn incense and worship it all day long, how can you still hold up the banner of science?
Well, I’m not afraid of being mistaken for a monster…
With the escort of Generals Heng and Ha, Zhao Hao walked out of the dock and saw two straight cement roads in front of him, one leading to the gunner camp and the other leading to the cement yard at the foot of Yuanshan.
This is annoying. Because Mr. Zhao has a serious problem with making choices... He stood at the fork in the road for a long time, hesitating whether to go left or right.
At this time, a foul smell wafted from the direction of the military camp, and a manure truck helped him make a choice.
"Let's go to the cement yard first." Zhao Hao covered his nose and walked quickly along a path on the left.
It was a hot day and the smell was too strong. The others hurried to follow and avoid the manure cart.
However, the man with his trouser legs rolled up, wearing a straw hat, and pushing the manure cart was humming a little tune contentedly, not noticing the stench at all.
Xu Yuanchun also followed the crowd, covering his nose, and was full of admiration for the man pushing the dung cart. He thought to himself, how could this man not be afraid of the stink? He was really amazing.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the man's face and immediately cried out, "Second Uncle?"
