Wang Yuande is really stupid. As a young man in a noble family, Li Hao can only say that a person's personality is destined to be good from the day he was born, and it has nothing to do with what kind of education he received the day after tomorrow.

Such a personality is destined to be out of reach with the head of the family. Unless the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan is crazy, he must take the Wang family into the ditch.

After all, a creature like the head of the family can be traitorous, but it can be slippery and cruel, but it just can't be stupid.

Therefore, Li Hao rarely did not take out his dog temper to deal with Wang Yuande. Instead, he looked like a good man, moved him to understand his reason with emotion and would rather spend more time than hurt his silly heart.

Wang Yuande did not disappoint Li Hao's painstaking efforts. When he heard that he was going to see Zheng Yan, he showed a hint of hesitation: "Brother, why don't... I don't want to meet Zheng Yan and I, it's not appropriate."

"Why, you two have conflicts?" Li Hao said in surprise.

Skill 1: Pretend to be confused when you understand.

Wang Yuande didn't know that Li Hao was messing with his own words. He sighed and said, "How to say it, it can't be said that there are conflicts. It was just that a few juniors gathered together a few days ago. Everyone improvised poetry to cheer up, and they were a little better for their brother."

Li Hao couldn't believe it: "It's that simple? Then Zheng Yan's energy is too small."

"Uh..." Wang Yuande pursed his lips awkwardly, and whined for a while before adding: "Win the beauty."

Li Hao: "..."

No wonder, there is a sequel here, but I don’t know what kind of beauty it is, which can attract the rebellion of the two legitimate sons.

I really want to know.

It’s a pity that we are not the kind of gossiping person, so it’s hard to inquire about other people’s privacy.

"So that's the case. I really didn't expect that my brother would have such a talented man and beautiful woman. If I had known it earlier, I would have been very clear yesterday and congratulated my brother."

"No, it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Wang Yuande seemed to have forgotten what happened before, shyly showing off: "It's all the Miss Cui family that loves you."

Li Hao's mouth twitched, and his feelings were hatred for robbing his wife. It seemed that the identity of the Miss Cui family should be extraordinary. I guess even if it was not a legitimate child, it would not be a distant branch. Otherwise, that boy Zheng Yan would never mention that Wang Yuande's eyes were red.

But then again, since there is such an awkward relationship in front of you, it is indeed a bit out of place to let Wang Yuande and Zheng Yan meet.

Li Hao thought for a while and sighed: "I didn't know that the relationship between my brother and Zheng Yan was so bad. Forget it, I won't meet him today. Let's talk about what's next."

"Okay!" Wang Yuande agreed very happily, as if he wanted to meet Zheng Yan.

The housekeeper had already ordered the servants to hold a banquet. Li Hao and Wang Yuande's own brothers were not polite to each other. They both attended the banquet and exchanged cups. The romance and moon started chatting.

Soon, the topic returned to the severe drought in Guanzhong again. Li Hao drank a cup of wine and smacked his lips and said, "Brother, I'll tell you the truth. This severe drought in Guanzhong is really nothing. My Tang Dynasty is not as short as in previous years. There is no shortage of food and grass. Don't say that Guanzhong has only been drought for one year, even if it has been drought for ten years, it will not be able to starve a person to death."

Is this true? Wang Yuande looked at the butler behind him with help.

The housekeeper nodded silently. Since last year, he changed the three-season rice from Chameng in Jiangnan. Although it can only produce two seasons a year due to climate, it really increases grain output by 30% compared with previous years.

The output of 30% does not refer to 30% of the area in Jiangnan, but refers to the total annual grain output of the entire Tang Dynasty in the past year.

Therefore, there have been rumors among the people that Jiangnan has become well-versed in the world recently, which may not be unreasonable.

Wang Yuande didn't know this, but after receiving the nod from the housekeeper, he couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, since the severe drought in Guanzhong does not affect anything, why is Your Majesty so nervous that he left talents like you outside the capital to solve the drought problem."

Li Hao shrugged: "I want to fish. The proverb has a cloud, don't look at the fun of the trouble now, be careful to get a list in the future. The reason why Your Majesty has not been moved is to see how many people will take advantage of this drought to cause trouble. Remember all those who make trouble in the small notebook and settle the accounts in the future in the autumn."

‘Gudu’.

The housekeeper swallowed hard, and ignored the etiquette and asked directly: "Criminal, what do you mean is that Your Majesty is going to do it... to attack us?"

"It's not the case now, but it's hard to say in the future." Li Hao looked up and looked at the butler of the royal palace indifferently, saying thoughtfully: "You people just value their family too seriously, calling the people and the people in the world, what about action? Do you really take the people and the people in your eyes?

Not to mention it, just say that Zheng Ke is happy. Look at what he has done in Qishan. The people can no longer drink water, but what about him? Selling water! Is this a thing that people do?!"

Wang Yuande kept silent, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

The butler seemed to want to explain something, but he didn't speak in the end.

Yes, the people are not saying it, but if you want the people to live a good life, you must take practical actions.

But what did the aristocratic family do? The first thing they think of during the drought is their own interests. For that little bit of interests, they urged the people to incite trouble, and shouted slogans that were loud, but in the final analysis, it was not for money.

People? Just straw dogs!

As long as you can get benefits, what do the people have in their eyes?

To be honest, Li Hao did not have much disgust with the aristocratic family. After all, everyone has the right to pursue a better life, and it is understandable that the aristocratic family pursues more power and interests.

But isn’t it good for you to pursue power and interests to follow normal channels? Why do you have to harm the interests of others?

You want more power, you rebel, you assassinate, you kill Li Er and be the emperor, what's the matter with the people?

He has built hundreds or thousands of water pumps in Qizhou. In addition to the ones that come in handy, there is even a large number of them in the warehouse.

But what about the surrounding prefectures? No prefecture sent to contact us to buy it, but instead they were still clamoring for disasters every day.

Isn't this a nonsense?

If you really want to help the people, you can buy a water pump. There are dozens of prefectures in Guanzhong, and no one in the prefectures do not have a thousand prefectures, and you can send it out to dig wells. If you really do this, I don’t have any money to give it to you for free.

But…….

Forget it, I don’t think about it anymore. I guess these guys will be on Li Er’s blacklist after this drought. Everyone’s foot bubbles are made by themselves, no wonder others.

Li Hao put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Wang Yuande with a shameful look on his face, "Brother, now there is an opportunity in front of you. I don't need your Wang family to take out a lot of money to help the victims, nor do you need your Wang family to take out the food stored in your family to give to the people."

Wang Yuande was covered in mist: "Then, what do you need me to do?"

"The people who mobilized yours to use this drought to clear the drought. After so many years, the rivers in Guanzhong have accumulated severely and have reached a point where they must be cleared. In addition, I can provide you with a pump for free. Where you can affect the place, I don't care how many wells you can dig, in short, how much you dig, I will provide you with how much."

This is because Wang Yuande is relatively stupid. Anyone who changes someone, Li Hao will not tell his limits so bluntly.

Wang Yuande wanted to agree, but hesitated to think of the old man’s explanation before coming: “My brother, I want to do something practical for the people, yes, but my grandfather’s side….”

"You don't have to think about it, you want to take the opportunity to establish relationships with the government to build roads, and then I don't care about the 'toll' share. Anyway, as long as you don't arrears the payment for the goods, I will provide you with as much cement as possible, and I can also give you a 20% discount. But remember, it's only for the Wang family, and don't interfere with other families."

"I understand, I understand." After Wang Yuande received the promise, he felt much more relaxed and said proudly: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely do the digging and dredging for you clearly."

Li Hao shook his head: "It's not for me, I'm going to tell you that my brother said that it's really helpful to road construction. The river sand cleaned out from the river can be used for road construction. If you clean out more river sand, you can even save money on buying river sand when building roads."

Baji, Wang Yuande blinked his eyes and thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was the case.

No wonder Li Hao had to clean up the dredging before and the road construction was carried out at the same time. It turned out that... the root of it is here.

The negotiations went very smoothly. Seeing that his son didn't seem to know how to continue, the housekeeper could only take the initiative to speak: "Criminal, I don't know... do you have any other requests?"

"It's a bit over saying 'requests'. After all, we are now in a cooperative relationship. If you really want to do something practical for the people, then transport more grains and I buy them according to the market price. Also, I built a warehouse with a huge area near Chang'an. If you are willing, I can share that warehouse with you 20% of it, the premise is that I need one million stones of grain."

"This..." The housekeeper of the royal family was a little confused and thought for a while and said, "Criminal, the villain dare not agree directly to this matter. Do you see if you can wait a few days? The villain immediately reported to my master as quickly as possible. He will definitely give you a satisfactory reply within three days."

"Yes!" Li Hao nodded.

Today's negotiations can be said to have entered the substantive stage, but they do not meet the conditions proposed by the Wang family before. It is reasonable for the butler to go back and ask for instructions.

What's more, Li Hao's previous behavior of trashing the blame also made the Wang family very passive. If the butler of the royal family did not go back to ask for instructions, he would agree directly, and Li Hao would feel a little worried.
