Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 217 Chapter 225: Back to Nantuo Mountain

Not long after Li Hao left the prison of Dali Temple, Xu Lian reported to Li Shimin in the Tai Chi Palace: "Your Majesty, Yin Yuanwei has sent a secret report that Li Hao has gone to the prison of Dali Temple to visit Li Daozong."

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, "What did they say?"

"Damn the old slave." Xu Lian knelt down, "After Li Hao went in, he left a master outside the prison door. Yin Yuanwei couldn't go in to listen, and was almost discovered by that master."

"Oh." Li Shimin nodded, and said slowly, "Li Daozong is Li Hao's mentor who bestowed the crown, and it's human nature for Li Hao to visit him. If you don't find out, you won't find out. Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Lian bowed his head and got up.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and suddenly said slowly: "Thinking about it carefully, Li Daozong has also been imprisoned for more than two years, and it's time to release him."

The next day, an imperial decree was issued to release Li Daozong and appoint Li Daozong as the governor of Maozhou.

Li Daozong was finally able to see the bright moon, if he knew that he was locked up for so long because he was forgotten by Li Shimin in prison, I don't know if he would feel hurt.

Two days later, Du Honglai told Li Hao that all the shops had been purchased and were just waiting to be renovated. Li Hao went to Chang'an to inspect the shops in person, and brought Li Ping, who was disguised as a man, with him to create an encounter with Li Daozong on the street. , taking advantage of this opportunity, sent Li Ping back to Li Daozong without anyone noticing.

All the shops started to be decorated, and the scholars and accountants recruited by Du Hong were already in place. Li Hao trained these accountants. Naturally, he taught them Arabic numerals and how to calculate accounts in the future world.

These accountants are all self-proclaimed masters of accounting, and originally dismissed Li Hao's accounting methods, but when they saw Li Hao's Arabic numerals and accounting methods, they couldn't help being shocked beyond measure, and felt it was an eye-opener.

Hu Xiaohai also participated in the training, and I have to admit that Hu Xiaohai is indeed much smarter than these old accountants. He can understand any knowledge, is also very studious, and makes rapid progress. study.

At the same time, Li Hao opened a paper-making workshop and a pottery kiln. His paper-making technique was much more advanced than the paper-making technique of this era. It was cheap and fast, and the daily output was astonishing. As for the pottery kiln, it was used to burn mud prints That's right, it is movable type printing. If you want to start a newspaper, how can you do it without movable type.

He originally wanted to dedicate movable type printing to the Scientific Research Temple, and through the Scientific Research Temple to Li Shimin, so as to gain credit for himself, but Ma Zhou and the group of craftsmen in the Scientific Research Temple took the two seals given by Li Hao , Li Hao couldn't understand what Li Hao meant, Li Hao had to admit that he overestimated them, and finally decided to bring movable type printing to this world by himself.

After more than ten days, all the shops were decorated and the training was over. The headquarters of Chang'an Newspaper put up a notice to collect articles from all literati in the world. Many literati in Chang'an were attracted to submit manuscripts. For a while, the headquarters' manuscripts were flying all over the sky. After a whole day of screening, the sample version of the newspaper was finally determined and sent to the printing department to start typesetting and printing.

The next day, six Datang Daily outlets in Chang’an opened together and began to sell newspapers. On the first day of sale, the discounts were big, and each newspaper was only sold for one penny. Starting tomorrow, the normal price will be restored, two pennies, which is very affordable. At least in Chang'an, all the people feel that it is not expensive. After all, paper is very expensive in this era. Such a large piece of paper costs only two cents, which is cheap.

At noon that day, when everyone was scrambling to buy newspapers and read articles, another shocking news broke out in Chang'an. Datang Bank opened for business. As long as proper collateral is given, loans can be made. The interest is not high. If you save money in it, you can also get interest Of course, the interest rate is not high. Many rich people find it interesting and go to the bank to consult business. Many people think it is very interesting and spend a small amount of money to test the waters. Do.

Walking on Chang'an Avenue, Li Hao saw people scrambling to buy newspapers, and every bank was full of people. He was so happy that he wanted to laugh, and then he went back and told Du Hong that the newspaper offices and banks in Lantian County could also open for business.

In the evening, Li Hao received a report from Chang'an that he sold 13 copies of the newspaper that day. Overall, he didn't lose money and made a little profit. After all, it was half price today.

Li Hao is very satisfied with the sales volume. He doesn't expect the newspaper to make much money. After all, his purpose of running a newspaper is to control public opinion, not to make money. Of course, for his quiz, it is important to earn more money It couldn't be better.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Xiaohai also sent someone from Chang'an to send a report. The six banks lent a total of 1000 guan a day and deposited [-] and [-] guan. The business was not very good. Most people came to inquire and wait and see. Attitude, dare not save money or borrow money.

Li Hao was not surprised by this either. People are always more cautious about money, and they are not at ease about new things. After all, the bank has just opened and has not yet gained the trust of the people.

But the next day, Li Shimin sent Xu Lian to send two gold-lettered signboards, and Li Hao immediately sent people to hang the two gold-lettered signboards at the newspaper headquarters and the bank's head office. The bank's business improved immediately, and what could be more trustworthy than the emperor's golden signboard.

The business of the newspaper office and the bank has finally stabilized, and Li Hao can finally breathe a sigh of relief. He plans to visit Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and the others tomorrow. He has been back for nearly 20 days, and he hasn't visited them yet. He probably will be challenged by Cheng Yaojin again. Reasonable.

Early the next morning, when Li Hao had just woken up and finished washing, Du Hong suddenly called out from outside the door: "Young master, there is a visitor who says he is your old friend."

Li Hao asked loudly, "Did you bring a gift?"

"No, empty-handed."

Li Hao didn't even think about it: "Boom away!"

"Yes."

Li Hao threw away the towel to wipe his face, and muttered in a low voice: "You don't even give me a present, and you dare to visit me, my old friend? Hehe, I have too many old friends..."

After Li Hao finished his breakfast, he asked Du Hong to prepare a generous gift to meet that old brave Cheng Yaojin. It was impossible not to give a gift. Besides, he had delayed visiting him for so long, so he didn't know what he would be like. , I can only stop him by sending more gifts, Li Hao's heart is bleeding when he thinks that he will lose his money again.

With three carts full of presents, Li Hao was about to go out. As soon as he got to the door, he heard someone shout excitedly: "Li Hao, Li Hao..."

"Huh? Who called me?" Li Hao turned his head to follow the prestige, and saw a young Taoist priest in a blue Taoist robe happily waving his hand at him.

Li Hao was shocked when he saw this, and blurted out: "Master... ah, Pei Miao!"

He wanted to call him senior brother, but suddenly he thought that he could not reveal that he was from Nantuo Mountain, so he could only call out Pei Miao's name instead. That's right, that young Taoist priest was his senior brother Pei Miao.

Li Hao hurriedly came to Pei Miao in three steps and two steps, and asked excitedly: "Pei Miao, why are you here?"

"I'm coming to find you."

"I mean... how did you go down the mountain?"

Pei Miao's expression darkened, and she lowered her voice and said, "Master is ill, very seriously ill."

Li Hao was shocked, slowly frowned, and said, "Come with me, let's talk in the room." After speaking, he turned around and led Pei Miao into the courtyard, and closed the courtyard door.

Li Hao brought Pei Miao to his study and asked Lu Yun and Feiying to guard outside the study. After closing the door, he didn't even have time to sit down, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Master?"

Pei Miao replied solemnly: "Abdominal pain."

"Are you playing with me?" Li Hao yelled with staring eyes, "Stomach pain is also called a serious illness?"

"It's not an ordinary abdominal pain." Pei Miao frowned, and said slowly, "Master's abdominal pain is extremely serious, and he has fainted several times due to the pain. I guess, there may be something wrong with his abdominal viscera."

Li Hao was shocked when he heard the words, something went wrong with his internal organs?That's serious. Ancient medical skills were backward. Any disease involving internal organs is basically equivalent to a death sentence. You can only rely on traditional Chinese medicine to relieve pain and prolong your life. It is impossible to cure it well.

Li Hao hurriedly asked: "How does he feel pain? Does that part of the abdomen hurt?"

Pei Miao pointed to her right abdomen and said: "This part hurts, the pain area is about the size of a palm, Master and I can't diagnose what kind of disease it is, so we can only take medicine for the time being to relieve the pain. I'm here to find you back, to see him one last time."

"I..." Li Hao hesitated to speak, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Okay, brother, you came all the way, I'm afraid you are tired and hungry, I will get you something to eat later, after you are full Let's rest, and let's set off quietly tonight."

"Why are you leaving at night?" Pei Miao looked confused.

"It's hard to say. I'll tell you when I'm free." Li Hao said with a worried look on his face, "Stay here and don't go anywhere. Someone will bring the food. I'll make arrangements for departure."

As he spoke, he hurried out of the study, and said to Feiying: "Feiying, send someone to inform the kitchen, hurry up and cook some delicious food, and bring it to the study, my friend is hungry."

"Yes!" Feiying was just about to take the order and leave.

But I heard Li Hao say again: "Also, go get two fast horses and some water and food, I'm going on a long trip tonight, so don't say anything about it, the less people know about it, the better, also, don't use lions Cong, that thing is too ostentatious."

"Yes!" Feiying took the order and left.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun stepped forward curiously and asked, "Master, where are you going?"

Li Hao said: "Nantuo Mountain, are you going?"

Lu Yun nodded: "My benefactor is also a teacher of Nantuo Mountain. I want to see it. Besides... Junior sister Hu Ke is elusive, and she was able to chase Chang'an from the desert. I'd better stay by your side."

"Forget your intentions." Li Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Then don't be in a daze, go prepare the horses and water and food by yourself, and expect me to help you?"

"Hey." Lu Yun smiled awkwardly, and quickly left the yard.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and three figures led the horses out of the back door of the Li Mansion without a sound. As he grows older, Li Shimin's expectations and wariness towards him are also increasing day by day. Who knows if there are Li Shimin's eyeliners around Li's mansion? , as long as they don't make a sound, they won't be found.

After leaving Shanghe Village and going up the official road, Li Hao and the three of them galloped all the way to Nantuo Mountain.

Nantuo Mountain is more than 1000 miles away from Chang'an, which is quite far away. However, the three of them hurried on the road frantically. Once they found that their horses were tired, they would find towns to exchange horses. Anyway, Li Hao had plenty of money and was willful.In this way, they rushed all the way through the stars and the moon, and they finally arrived at Nantuo Mountain in the morning six days later.

Looking at the huge Nantuo Mountain, Li Hao's mood is very complicated. When he thinks that he will see the real person Zhiyuan, he gets excited, and when he thinks that the real person Zhiyuan may die soon, he is worried. Years suddenly flashed through my mind, vividly in my mind.

　Haven’t you been clamoring for a RV? Well, let the RV come out to show your face, but don’t expect to drive it out. Again, the RV is to provide resources for Li Hao. It is his base camp, which is equivalent to an underground scientific research center, isn’t it? The tanks that charge into the battle are not capital for pretentiousness. The less people know about it, the better. I hope you can understand.I don't care, I want a recommendation ticket.
