- Jiangdong Gate is one of the eighteen city gates outside Nanjing. It leads to Shuixi Gate in the east and Shangxin River in the west. There is a river channel that goes straight into the Yangtze River. Since Taizu Dingding Jinling, it has been the commercial and transportation center in the southwestern part of Nanjing and the main distribution center for grain, timber and other bulk commodities.
The Duke of Wei has occupied Jinling for two hundred years, occupying almost all of Nanjing¡¯s feng shui treasures except the royal gardens. This tidal flat that was built as a dock warehouse is called Bailuzhou. Yes, it is exactly what Li Taibai said in his song "Phoenix Tour on the Phoenix Platform", "Egret Island is divided into two waters", which is listed as one of the forty-eight scenic spots in Jinling.
There is Bailu Village in Bailuzhou, where all the servants of the Xu family live. Growing rice and mulberry in this picturesque place is already a waste of natural resources. Later, after discovering this business opportunity that could help avoid taxes, the incoming Wei Guogong actually directly ordered the tidal flats to be filled and tamped with Sanhe soil, a wharf and a trestle were built, and then a long row of ugly warehouses, totaling hundreds of them, was built.
There are countless official ships passing by Bailu Wharf every day, but the adults who receive imperial salary can only lament that the beautiful scenery in ancient times no longer exists, and I feel sorry for Li Taibai. But they turned a blind eye to the booming tax avoidance activities at the dock. No one ever felt sorry for the Ming Dynasty or His Majesty the Emperor
It¡¯s not that Wei Guogong is terrible, but that their own business is also enjoying the benefits of Bailuzhou Wharf.

"Zhao Hao now has children and ordinary people, and he still can't worry about the country and the people.
He was waiting on the dock for Tang Youde to unload the goods and put them into the warehouse. By the time he got the deposit ticket, the sunset was already filling the sky.
The deposit ticket is signed by him and Tang Youde, and both of them must be present at the same time to pick up the goods.
Zhao Hao¡¯s focus was not on this. He was shocked by the price of renting a warehouse.
"Thirty taels a month? You're robbing money!"
"This is the price here. Fortunately, all losses will be compensated, so it's time to buy a guarantee." Tang Youde was also very distressed, but the money should not be saved. This was a lesson he learned through blood and tears in many years of business.
Zhao Hao naturally understood this truth and stopped talking.
Putting away the deposited tickets, everyone hurriedly hurried and finally entered Nanjing City before the city gate closed.
After three days of walking back and forth, Zhao Hao and Fatty Tang felt a little tired, so they stopped being polite and went back to their respective homes.
Zhao Hao led his people back to Caijia Lane. It was already dark, but the restaurant that was being renovated still had lights on.
Hearing the clanging sound inside, Zhao Hao pushed the door open and saw Gao Tiejian and Fang De installing the counter there.
Seeing Zhao Hao come in, the two hurriedly put down their work and stepped forward to say hello.
Zhao Hao ignored the pleasantries and just nodded, took the twenty taels of silver from Gao Wu, placed it in Yu Peng's hand and said, "Split it with the brothers."
"This is too much" Yu Peng felt that the money was a bit hot, and the men waiting outside the door also started to give in, not daring to ask for so much money.
They work so hard that they only earn two taels of silver a month. On average, they earn less than one penny a day. Zhao Hao only used them for three days, and he didn't let them do any work. He just took out twenty taels There were thirteen of them in total. Even if Yu Peng gave them five taels, each of them could still get one tael. many.
That¡¯s half a month¡¯s wages!
"Just keep it, this is the appearance fee given by the head of the Tang Club." Zhao Hao waved his hand generously and said: "When this hotel opens in the future, everyone can help me more."
Then all the men thanked him profusely and went out.
After Yu Peng and others left, shopkeeper Fang wanted to come up and report again, but Zhao Hao still waved his hand and said:
"I'm tired today. Let me take a nap before we talk about anything else."
Even so, he still did not forget to pay attention to Wu Yu and his wife: "These two are the helpers I invited. Shopkeeper Fang will help them settle in for one night, and tomorrow Gao Wu will help them find a place to live"
"Everyone, please stay." After saying that, he waved his hand again and walked back home.
??~~
The courtyard door of the home is ajar, and only the main room has the lights on.
Zhao Hao pushed the door open and heard the sound of reading loudly coming from Zhao Shou's main room in the east room.
Hearing this voice, the tired Mr. Zhao showed a happy smile. For 'parents' who are working hard outside, this is a panacea to soothe the soul.
He gently opened the door, looked into the east room, and saw Zhao Shouzheng sitting at the desk, and Zhao Jin standing behind him, staring at him quietly.
Zhao Hao quietly exited and found that Fang Wen had already filled him with face wash.
He was used to this kid being invisible, so naturally he wouldn't make a fuss anymore.
While washing his face, he asked Fang Wendao in a low voice: "Has it been like this these past few days?"
"Yeah." Fang Wen nodded.
"My father has really changed his gender?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but be surprised. He knew that Zhao Shouzheng had been in disgrace for many years and had lost all his energy. It was difficult for him to persevere in anything he did.
It¡¯s like quitting bars? How many times have you promised him? I still get drunk every three days.
I don¡¯t know what magic pill Zhao Jin used to cure the disease at his fingertips.
"At first, the master couldn't sit still" But Fang Wen said quietly: "But Mr. Zhao persuaded me, and the master obeyed."
"It's that simple?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel frustrated secretly. He was so sincere and sincere, but he couldn't be as gentle as Zhao Jinqing. It really hurt his self-esteem.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard Zhao Shouzheng in the back room say: "Old nephew, my throat is smoking, please let me drink some water slowly."
"Uncle, don't give up halfway." Then I heard Zhao Jin's advice in a clear voice and a loud voice: "Ethical articles must be coherent, and the same is true for reading other people's essays. It is useless to break up."
"It's broken anyway, just let me take a break," Zhao Shouzheng said.
"Okay," Zhao Jin responded, but then changed the subject and said, "But I have to read it ten more times."
"Who is the uncle and who is the nephew?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Shouzheng was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "Is there any dignity or inferiority? Is there any justice?"
"The emperor has made mistakes, and ministers should speak out and remonstrate, how about uncle?" However, Zhao Jin's tone did not waver at all and said: "As long as uncle can succeed in school and win high school honors, my nephew, I will bear all the infamy. Even if my uncle beats and scolds me, I will not change my original intention!"
"Uh" Zhao Shouzheng stopped reciting the curse. Firstly, people were doing good to him, and secondly, the old nephew was more than ten years older than him. Furthermore, finding a Jinshi to tutor him in his homework was something that even the old man could not do back then. How could he let down his son's hard work?
Thinking of this, he exhaled a long breath and said: "Stop talking, I won't drink water, okay?"
After saying that, he picked up the book and continued reading weakly.
¡°Reread it from the beginning!¡±
"Sit upright!"
"The energy comes out of the Dantian, and the rhythm rises and falls"
Zhao Jin¡¯s voice of correction kept ringing inside, but this time Zhao Shouzheng didn¡¯t dare to say any nonsense.
??~~
Zhao Hao listened for a long time and finally understood why the old nephew was able to cure his uncle.
¡°Damn it, Zhao Jin is one of the ¡®Four Admonitions in Yue Zhong¡¯ that even Yan Song is not afraid of, and he supervises the school with the same attitude as when he dared to offend Tian Yan. Not to mention Zhao Shouzheng, even if the old man is here, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand it!
Zhao Hao shook his head sympathetically and went back to his room to sleep with peace of mind.
Zhao Shouzheng¡¯s small stove has to be turned on until eleven o¡¯clock in the middle of the night. Children¡¯s families can¡¯t wait that late
ps. I¡¯m back home, exhausted and paralyzed. I haven¡¯t gone out since the New Year. I¡¯m in seclusion and coding, and it¡¯s on the shelves! Big bang, big bang!
