All the cooks in the mountain villa in the city have recalled their homes. In order to prepare today''s banquet, the general''s house will recruit all the shopkeepers outside every year to report their performance in recent years.


    At the same time, the shopkeepers should also record the local people and customs in detail. The last time Tang Hao was away, Li Wanqing thanked them instead of the owner. Although it is also lively, those shopkeepers still have some regrets. After all, the owner is not here.


    This year is different. The owner doesn''t have to go to war. He stays at home early and waits for everyone to come back. Whether he can become a sacrifice at home still needs the owner to speak. When a man speaks, it''s more effective than a woman''s note.


    Yu Degong is in charge of Lingnan''s business. Shopkeeper Yu is now talking to general Tang in his study, while Wu Tong is outside the study. Lao Jiang sits on the roof with a strong crossbow and dozes. He is buried in a thick old sheep fur jacket. He looks a little slack, but his ears are listening to the movements around him vigilantly.


    "Lao Yu, I''ve left you in that remote place in Lingnan for a hard time these years. I didn''t expect your hard work in Lingnan in recent years. It has brought such great benefits to my family, which is beyond my expectation." general Tang was overjoyed.


    "General, this is what the old slave should do. There''s nothing wrong with the old slave at home. Dare you work hard?" shopkeeper Yu''s attitude is still very modest.


    "Lao Yu, your slave status has long been abolished. Why are you still an old slave?"


    "General, the old slave has no relatives in Chang''an. There are only his old wife and weak son in his family. Ruoer, this child is naturally cowardly. If there is no support from his family, the old slave can''t keep his wealth even if he earns him ten thousand yuan. Take him." poor Lao Yu''s painstaking efforts as a father.


    "Well, well, the family doesn''t lack this stuttering, but his meat and egg temperament can''t do anything. I don''t know how you are so strong. How can you give birth to such a cowardly son? Forget it, just stay at home and take care of the flower house. I told Xiaoya that they can''t bully ruoer. That''s it." Tang Hao readily agreed.


    Lao Yu was so happy that he would kneel down and kowtow. He was dragged up by Tang Hao. After sitting down, Tang Hao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Lao Yu, it''s your idea to build a transfer station on the sand island at the mouth of the Yangtze River?"


    "General, I was about to say this. It''s really a good place. When I passed there for the first time, the island was only ten feet long, which could not be regarded as an island. It could only be regarded as a sand pile. But when I passed there for the second time, the island was already 100 feet long. This time, when I came back, I made a special trip to see the island and found that he had grown up a lot." Lao Yu was overjoyed.


    "General, this is a treasure. In four years, the area has increased by more than ten times. It may not be much after a hundred years. Now, general, you go to your majesty for a grace and turn the island into our industry. It is desolate and there are only reeds on the island. It''s not difficult to come in your face. When the young master grows up, there''s no problem with a sea terminal."


    "The main reason is that the location is good. It''s stuck at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Don''t say much about it. Lao Yu said happily.


    Tang Hao is a little silly. Is that his mother''s good idea? But Lao Yu thought simply. It''s too early to start now. Will the sand continue to collapse against the river? Finally, it is sent to the back by the water.


    It seems that the island is growing up. However, its position is constantly changing and running to the sea. This year, a house will be built in the center of the island. Next year, it will become a dangerous house. If you don''t run, the house will fall into the sea with the sand.


    But when he thought of the continuous growth of the land, Tang Hao suddenly felt that Chongming Island seemed to be useful. Wasn''t that Wuyang always playing against himself? Why did he have to fight with him in Yuezhou? When Tang Hao came back, he saw that the lanterns in the yard had been hung up.


    Princess Changle and Li Wanqing kept greeting other shopkeepers. When they saw Tang Hao coming, they came forward to salute. When they were seated, fourteen shopkeepers, together with Lao Qian and Lao Fang, sat at a big round table waiting for Tang Hao to give instructions.


    "There''s nothing to say. They''re all good. Lingnan''s income is the first. Yu Degang took the lead this time. There are only five jade pendants in the family. Give old Zhuangzi one, and you''ll have the second one. Whoever wants that one next time, you can surpass Lao Yu in performance." Tang Hao said with ease, but his face was solemn.


    See Tang Hao take out the white jade pendant with cloud pattern and bow to Lao Yu with both hands.


    Yu Degong''s lips trembled badly and wiped his hands on his clothes. Then he took it, held it high and showed it to the public, and then the mother, Princess Changle, tied it to his waist.


    After handing out the jade pendant, Tang Hao clapped his hand and said, "your things are much better than Lao Yu''s. they are all gold. They are the gold coins I specially exchanged from the Ministry of household. This is the first batch of gold coins. They are exquisitely crafted. Unlike Lao Liu''s Jade Pendant, I have nothing to do. I carved them myself. They are not worth money."
