Wang Shouen has a great background and also serves as prime minister. If he is killed casually, he will definitely startle the court.

Since this is the case, let him jump for two more days. Anyway, he doesn't dare to go too far with Wang Zhang. Although he can't solve him, it's okay to teach him a lesson.

The next day, Guo Hao came to the grocery store. Chen Zhi felt guilty when he saw Guo Hao. He should have known everything about yesterday.

"Young Master, you won't send someone to notify me when you come back. I'll welcome you and celebrate your victory!"

Guo Hao heard this and said seriously: "Stop talking nonsense. You are not very capable. You care about Luoyang, Kaifeng. What did you say yesterday when you went to Wang Shouen's mansion?"

"this……"

Chen Zhi was a little hesitant. Wang Shouen and Wang Zhang were both birds of a feather, so naturally they would not say anything good. The reason why they looked for Chen Zhi was because he wanted to attack those businessmen.

"What? Don't you want to say it? Do you know my current identity? I am the military advisor under the escort of the Governor Guo and the commander of the escort. You don't know who Mr. Guo is, right? He is ranked third and is a Privy Councilor, and his status is not as good as Wang Shouen?"

"That's not what I mean, young master, don't bother me. Lord Wang came to me to inquire about the benefits of all walks of life and make it easier to re-order taxes."

"Re-order taxes? Isn't this the responsibility of Lord Wang Zhang? When will it be his turn to Wang Shouen?"

"It is because Lord Wang is in charge of this matter that he found me and wanted to submit a report with me Lord Wang and reiterate the merchant's taxes..."

"snort!"

Guo Hao snorted coldly when he heard this. These two people were really colluding. This is not a way for the merchants to survive. The taxes at this time were already high enough. If the tax was increased, the merchants would not make any profit. Who would still do business?

This is tantamount to killing chickens to get eggs, and fishing in a dry pond. If there were such ministers in the Later Han Dynasty, it would be strange if they did not perish.

"So you told him?"

"This... I only know part of it, some industries are not clear about it, and we have to open a store, so..."

"So you betrayed the merchant?"

"No, no..."

"What's the matter? Other people's shops are closed, but ours is only open. If you say you have nothing to do with them, who believes it?

What do you do in this way? How do merchants think of us, how do people think of us? To be in sync with corrupt officials, who will do business with us in the future? Who will buy our goods?"

Chen Zhi's cold sweat suddenly came down. He only wanted to protect himself before, but never thought about so much. What Guo Hao said was not unreasonable. Chen Zhi's doing this would be very unfavorable to the reputation of the grocery store.

"But……"

"No, although they don't touch us, we must be self-aware and close the store immediately. If others don't open it, we can't open it!"

"But……"

"Don't you understand what I said? There is no one on the street. Who still buys our things? Don't you think it's eye-catching if you don't close the door?"

Chen Zhi was helpless when he heard this. He was worried about giving Wang Zhang the profit. Since Wang Shouen took office, it has been less than a month. Although the government did not cause trouble for him, his business has plummeted.

Now it's time to give money. Wang Zhang's money hasn't been enough, and Chen Zhi was worried that he could not explain, so he betrayed the merchant.

The shop closed the door, and some shops next to it saw it, thinking that Chen Ji couldn't escape, shouldn't this be it?

After closing the door, Guo Hao looked outside through the crack in the door. For some reason, he was a little nervous, and there was a sense of panic in the city for some reason.

"Chen Zhi, go and prepare the gift. I want to visit the king Liushou."

"ah?"

Chen Zhi didn't react for a moment, thinking that this man didn't hate Wang Shouen very much before, so why did he suddenly visit him? Did he change his mind?

"Why are you still standing there? Go and prepare. You have to go with me too. You just need to introduce me to you when you get there!"

"oh!"

When Chen Zhi heard that he was going to go too, he immediately went to prepare the gift. Fortunately, they run a grocery store, otherwise some things would be really hard to buy.

The two were ready and led the way to the left-behind mansion. Chen Zhi went up to knock on the door. A servant opened the door and saw that it was Chen Zhi.

"Isn't this shopkeeper Chen? What's the point of doing?"

Chen Zhi laughed and said, "My brother, please report to Lord Wang, our boss wants to visit him!"

After saying that, he pointed at Guo Hao, and Guo Hao smiled and bowed to his salute. The servant glanced at Guo Hao and said, "Wait, we are taking a nap, let's talk about it when he wakes up!"

After saying that, he closed the door. Guo Hao looked up at the sun. It was about ten o'clock in the morning, and it was time to get up to sleep. Where can you sleep? Are you a pig?

But he could only say it in his heart, and did not dare to show impatience. The two of them waited at the door for an hour before the door of the left-behind mansion opened and a follower came out.

"You are from Chen Ji Grocery Store? Are you the owner?"

Guo Hao nodded quickly.

"Get in. We are awake and are having lunch. We have to wait a while after we go in!"

Guo Hao glanced at Chen Zhi when he heard this, thinking that this boy must have made people unhappy yesterday. He nodded with a smile, without any anger in his heart.

"With me this, when you cry."

The two were taken into the left-behind mansion. As soon as they entered the door, Guo Hao secretly looked around. The yard was very large and elegant, with many decorations in the yard, and many strange flowers and plants, which seemed beautiful but were inappropriate.

It is impossible for a common man to be elegant, because common people are imprinted in their bones.

After entering the inner garden, the servant asked the two to wait in a pavilion. Guo Hao quickly went to look at the arrangements around him. Yes, he was not here to visit him, but to check in.

The two stayed in the yard for another hour, and Guo Hao guessed everything in each room, and Wang Shouen came out of the room.

"Ha...you are the owner of Chen Ji Grocery Store, are you from Chen's family?"

Wang Shouen yawned and walked over slowly, following two maids. When they saw this, they hurriedly saluted.

"Secretary Guo Hao, I have met Lord Wang. I am the owner of the grocery store, but not the Chen family."

"Guo Hao?"

Wang Shouen looked at Guo Hao carefully and asked uncertainly: "You are Guo Wei's military advisor, Guo Hao who was driven back by Nan Tang?"

Guo Hao was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he was a military advisor, but how did Wang Shouen know that he was driven back by Nan Tang?

"It's the official!"

Wang Shouen sat down slowly, looked at Guo Hao curiously, and said, "At this time, you shouldn't be in Yongxing Army, why did you run back?"

"Sir, it's because I'm at the Xiaguan family, so I've had a leave of absence from the governor."

Wang Shouen nodded and looked at Guo Hao with a smile, which made Guo Hao confused.

"Do you know that people from the Southern Tang Dynasty came, saying that you killed people in the Southern Tang Dynasty and then fled to the Han Dynasty. They were in charge of the imperial court and wanted people!"

"VIP?"

How is this possible? He has been back for almost a year, and Nan Tang has no movement. Why did he come back from the war? Wang Shouen told him that Nan Tang came to ask for someone?

"Haha, don't worry, no one cares what you did in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty doesn't know at all. The Southern Tang Dynasty was originally hostile to the Han Dynasty, so how could we hand you over to the enemy country."

Guo Hao smiled dryly when he heard this, thinking that these people were not stupid. If they listened to Nan Tang, if Guo Wei did not protect him, he would still run away.

Although Guo Hao ran back to the Central Plains, there were actually people paying attention to him in the Southern Tang Dynasty. When Guo Hao left, Li Jing took his anger on Wei Cen and demoted him in anger. Song Qiqiu and others held a grudge against Guo Hao, so they tried to issue a letter of fame to the Han Dynasty.

In this battle, Guo Hao's performance was beyond everyone's expectations. Some people think that he is a talent, so they mean to win over him.

"Thank you so much sir..."

Wang Shouen nodded when he saw this and said, "I don't need to thank you for this kind of thing, but you are here now, don't know what's up?"

After Wang Shouen said that, Guo Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Wang, this time Xiaguan came to bring wealth to the master."

"Oh? Where is the money? How to give it to me?"

"The money is in the hands of the people and merchants. I wonder if the adults will take it!"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"The Xiaguan has no other meaning, but the Xiaguan thinks that the way he uses is like killing a chicken to get eggs and fishing in a dry pond. Although he can obtain a lot of money in a short time, it is not a long-term solution.

Luoyang City is so big. Even if the adults gather all their money together, there is probably not much money. Without external money, the adults will get clean sooner or later.

And I have a way here, which can make the adults flow and let the world's wealth gather continuously. I wonder what the adults want to do?”
