Although doing so will inevitably leave a reputation for being stupid and rich, for example, the store may falsely report the number of tables, or the victims may eat at one restaurant after eating at another, or the people in the county may also follow suit to eat and drink for free.

But none of that matters, after all, most of the food will still end up in the mouths of the victims.

Master Zhao felt fulfilled and relieved when he thought that they could have a hot meal on such a rainy day and drink a few cups of cheap Laochangmen rice wine to warm their bodies.

He walked through the main hall with a smile, greeted the man from Caijia Lane who was guarding the Moon Gate, and then entered the inner court.

Just as he was about to pass through the second door to enter the back house, Wu Cheng'en, who was sorting documents with his students in the signing room, stopped him.

"Come in and talk." Zhao Hao pointed to the corner of his robe that was covered in mud.

Wu Chengen hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll be waiting for you in the hall."

Although he is an old man in his sixties, he still tries to avoid suspicion.

Zhao Hao let him go, went in to change into a quick robe, and then put on dry boots.

The warm and soothing feeling made Zhao Hao feel satisfied.

"I never thought that wearing a pair of dry boots in this season could make people so happy that they want to cry."

"Sister Xianglan grilled it in a charcoal pot." Qiaoqiao brought him a bowl of millet soup and asked him to drink it while it was hot.

While blowing out the hot air, Zhao Hao took small sips of the rice and meat soup that was carefully cooked with bone broth. He could taste the rich and fresh fragrance in his mouth, with a hint of spicy pepper. It was simply delicious.

After a bowl of this soup, your fatigue, hunger and thirst will disappear and you will feel refreshed.

"Well, I think I can't live without Sister Qiaoqiao's food for the rest of my life." Zhao Hao jumped up from the kang and announced happily.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Although she was a little unhappy about his unnecessary addition, Miss Qiaoqiao still happily carried the dishes and chopsticks out.

In fact, he can't just rely on Qiaoqiao, he can't rely on Secretary Ma either.

Less than a day after moving into the back house, Ma Xianglan had already cleaned his room.

Because they wanted to reduce their luggage, they only brought books and daily necessities. However, Ma Xianglan was able to reduce a few of the original furnishings and change their placement, which made the room less tacky and more stylish.

More importantly, all the furnishings were placed to the satisfaction of Mr. Zhao. Everything was placed in the position he was used to, which perfectly cured his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This young master is truly a happy child.

Zhao Yanei came to the flower hall of the inner court with a happy smile on his face.

Perhaps because he was delayed for too long, Wu Cheng'en had already gone back to the signing room opposite, and it was Li Zhi and Jin Ke who were waiting for him here.

"You two have arrived just in time." Zhao Hao looked at the door and saw no one was serving tea. He smiled apologetically and said, "It's all a mess. I have no idea what to do. Please bear with me."

"Young Master, you are too polite." The two men stood up and smiled.

Li Zhi was a wild person, and he was never polite, but Mr. Zhao gave him too much...

Only then did he realize that Tao Yuanming refused to bow down for the sake of money because the court gave him too little.

"Dr. Zhao, I want to ask you something." After sitting down again, he asked Jin Ke first.

Jin Ke smiled, made an excuse, and went out on his own accord.

Among the three generals Wang, Zhu and Jin, this general's daily style is most like Qi Jiguang, delicate and very cautious.

Mr. Zhao liked this very much. After all, this team is full of silly, stubborn, mentally ill, and mentally retarded old men and children. It is a big Ming Dynasty weirdo award, and it is very necessary to have people with high emotional intelligence to neutralize it.

Take Li Zhi for example, he has no idea what humility is.

If it were Wang Rulong, he would have to glare at him to shut up. Let me speak first!

"What's the matter?" Young Master Zhao muttered a few words in his mind and then faced the middle-aged man in question with a smile.

"Are you still going to run your science academy?" Li Zhi asked bluntly.

"Yes, who said we won't do it?" Zhao Hao pointed to the signing room opposite and said, "My students have come all the way here, how can we not do it?"

"That's good. I thought you were here for free labor." Li Zhi's expression eased a little and he said, "Then where should we hold it? In Suzhou or Kunshan?"

Li Zhi was inclined to set up the academy in Suzhou. After all, it was the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty and would be of great benefit to promoting Mr. Zhao's science.

"Of course it's Kunshan." But Master Zhao said firmly: "I want the students to see with their own eyes the great changes that will take place in Kunshan. This will be more educational than any preaching!"

"I have already chosen the location for the school. It is on Yufeng Mountain in the city. What do you think of calling it Yufeng Academy?"

Seeing that Zhao Hao had even decided where to build the school, Li Zhi smacked his lips and gave up the idea of ​​persuading him. "Isn't it called the Science Academy?"

"I'm not the only one I'm building." Young Master Zhao denied it. "I'm going to open academies in Jinling, Beijing, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou... and they can all be called the same name?"

"Why do we need to bloom so many flowers?" Li Zhi was a little dizzy. "Shouldn't we choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, cultivate carefully, and wait for the flowers to bloom when we open a college?"

"That's because they are poor." Zhao Hao laughed and said, "If you were as rich as me, you would have opened branches everywhere. For example, didn't the sage Zhu open academies everywhere to make Neo-Confucianism flourish?"

"So you know what you are doing." Li Zhi said with a gleam in his eyes, "I also want to remind you that opening academies everywhere will arouse taboos from the court."

"That's why it's called Yushan Academy. When we got to Nanjing, it was called Yuhua Academy; when we got to Beijing, it was called Yuyuan Academy; and when we got to Hangzhou, it was called Xiling Academy..." Young Master Zhao listed them all.

"You've even chosen a school site..." Li Zhi was so angry. Just a glimpse of the situation revealed what kind of lawless things Mr. Zhao was going to do.

What's even more terrifying is that this guy has the ability and financial resources to support him in turning his wild dreams into reality...

Li Zhi felt that he was arrogant enough, but compared with Zhao Hao, he was just a younger brother.

The experienced driver actually felt like he was in a black car.

"What? Are you scared?" Zhao Hao glanced at him.

"What a joke! I couldn't ask for more!" Li Zhi laughed and said, "The more trouble you make, the happier I am. I will bring Jiao Hong to you tomorrow!"

"I knew that you, Li Zhuowu, are not someone who is afraid of trouble." Zhao Hao also laughed and said, "You are definitely one of the people who dare to fight with me to the end!"

"For what you said, I will bring two more talented people to you." Li Zhi was very pleased and gave two for free. "Tomorrow I will hand in my resignation and concentrate on running the academy for you."

"Why do you want to resign?" Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled, "Suzhou Prefecture is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. You can just go and take up the post... You can also take your sister-in-law over and let her and her niece enjoy a few days of peace and quiet."

"What about this side?" Li Zhi asked with a frown.

"The two counties are next to each other, so you can just run between them." Zhao Hao chuckled and said, "You can influence the entire Suzhou and Songjiang in Suzhou, but you can't even influence Suzhou City in Kunshan. So I have written to Lu Guangzu, asking him to promote you to professor of Suzhou Prefecture School. Do you understand what I mean?"

Before this, Li Zhi had been a doctor of the Five Classics of the eighth rank for ten years, so it was not an exaggeration to send him to be a professor of the seventh rank in the provincial school.

"I understand." Li Zhi nodded, thinking to himself, isn't it just asking me to brainwash the students in the prefectural school and make them believe in science?

"If you know so much, why don't you go to Suzhou yourself?"

"First, I am worried about my father, and second, I want to avoid the limelight in Kunshan." Zhao Hao smiled.

In fact, after experiencing all kinds of experiences in the capital, he found that it was safer to hide in the dark.

ps. I will post one update first, and then write more later. I will try to post five updates today...
