Li Hansheng received Ming Jia's letter from Shen Qi in late March.

Li Hansheng had never paid attention to Liu Laosan since he was a graduate student in Jincheng. When Ming Jia mentioned it, he arranged for someone to go find out more about him.

"Liu Laosan is going to sea?"

Li Hansheng didn't know why Mingjia had such an idea, but...since Mingjia wanted to check Liu Laosan, he just helped her.

Li Hansheng was in the capital and was always well-informed. He also knew the situation in Xuzhou very well.

Li Hansheng knew all about Emperor Liang's arrangements and plans in Xuzhou, especially the large budget.

"With such a big move, there must be a follow-up plan!"

"Going to sea?"

After receiving Mingjia's letter, Li Hansheng locked himself in the study and thought for a long time.

Combining several recent decrees in the court and Li Hansheng's understanding of the emperor over the years, Li Hansheng felt that sending people to sea was not a delusion.

However, Li Hansheng just didn't understand. Why did Ming Jia think Liu Laosan was suitable?

"Hmph! I think Xu Shengyuan is also quite suitable!"

"Hmm~! Shen Zhi is not bad either!"

Ming Jia didn't know that Li Hansheng completely understood her hint. If he had known, he would have just laughed, and it can be considered that we have reached the same destination through different paths.

Since Liu Sanye entered Beijing in the seventh year of Kaiyuan, he has officially taken over the Liu family in the capital.

Nowadays, the Liu family belongs to the second prince to the outside world, but several people in charge know that the Liu family now works for His Highness the Crown Prince.

Liu Laosan was very irritable during this period. He couldn't sleep all night long, and he had to pretend to be fine during the day.

As for the reasons, there are many!

In the past few years, the second prince has been obsessed with treachery and arranged for Liu Laosan to use various means to steal the prince's money bag.

Prince Liang Jingchen has always been virtuous and respectful to the outside world, and has never formed any clique for personal gain, nor will he cooperate with merchants in private for profit.

Therefore, His Highness the Prince only has one money bag that he openly displays, and that is Xie Zhiqiu.

Therefore, Liu Laosan has already fought several times with Xie Zhiqiu openly and secretly, and the record is probably more defeats than wins!

Even without the second prince's instructions, Liu Laosan would have broken up with Xie Zhiqiu.

They are all masters of making money under the prince. Liu Laosan looks down on Xie Zhiqiu's nonsense, and Xie Zhiqiu also looks down on Liu Laosan's stubbornness.

Recently, Liu Laosan suffered another hidden loss at the hands of Xie Zhiqiu. If the prince hadn't taken a liking to Xie Zhiqiu, Liu Laosan would have wanted to spend money to find someone to solve the problem.

Liu Laosan controls half of the second prince's financial transactions, and is even more aware of the second prince's various actions.

However, the second prince had transferred large amounts of money several times recently, but he did not tell Liu Laosan at all.

Intuition told Liu Laosan that something was going to happen!

Liu Laosan's ability to protect his family from the war years is inseparable from his strong intuition and absolute vigilance.

Liu Laosan first secretly investigated the whereabouts of the second prince, and then later investigated the whereabouts of the second and third princes.

The more he investigated, the more frightened he became, and then he sent an urgent message to see His Royal Highness.

As a result, the prince personally supervised the spring hunting matters and had already set off for the royal hunting ground in advance.

Liu Laosan is now anxious to deal with the ants on the hot pot, but he has no move at all. After all, he is just a businessman with no official status.

While Liu Laosan was walking around the house, the concierge trotted over and delivered a post.

"Third Master, this is a post from Duke Li's Mansion!"

Liu Laosan stopped spinning immediately, reached out and grabbed the post directly from the concierge's hand.

The post said that Li Guogong invited Liu Laosan to drink tea at noon today.

Liu Laosan read the post and then looked up at the sky. It was almost noon, and the post was about an hour later.

"You really think highly of me, Liu Laosan!"

Mr. Liu Sanye hit his palm with the post while cursing Li Hansheng in his heart.

"Come here! Prepare the carriage, sir, I want to go out for tea!"

No matter how much Liu Laosan secretly scolded Li Hansheng, he couldn't help but felt inexplicably relieved, feeling that the Liu family had a way out.

In a private room of a teahouse in Guangpingfang, the capital, Li Hansheng sat down to drink tea.

The waiter at the teahouse came and knocked on the door. He knocked only twice and then stopped. He must have been dismissed by someone outside the door.

Liu Laosan held a wooden box in one hand and pushed open the box door with the other.

Li Hansheng and Liu Laosan looked at each other, then lowered their eyelids and glanced at the wooden box in Liu Laosan's hand.

"Mr. Liu, every time we have tea, you bring a wooden box with you!"

"How dare I invite Mr. Liu to tea in the future?"

Li Hansheng slowly put down the teacup in his hand and raised his hand to signal Liu Laosan to sit down, not forgetting to tease Liu Laosan.

In fact, when Liu Laosan saw Li Hansheng, he also thought that the last time the two of them met in Jincheng, he also brought some ledgers to the appointment.

Liu Laosan... I didn't expect it either!

Li Hansheng personally poured a cup of tea for Liu Laosan, and also added a cup of tea for himself.

Li Hansheng and Liu Laosan drank tea slowly without any anxiety. It wasn't until the pot of tea was finished that Li Hansheng put down the tea cup completely.

"Not seeing you this year, Mr. Liu's skills...have deteriorated a bit!"

When Liu Laosan heard that Li Hansheng spoke first, he just wanted to feel proud. After all, he had taken the initiative.

As a result, Li Hansheng said as soon as he opened his mouth that Liu Laosan had retreated... regressed?

"My lord, why do you say this?"

Liu Laosan smiled and asked, as long as Li Guogong spoke first, he would not be angry at anything.

"I've also heard from people that Mr. Liu has lost several times in a row with girls from the Xie family, right?"

"Mr. Liu can't keep up with the flexibility of young people, or is he too soft-minded as he gets older?"

Liu Laosan quickly reassured himself not to be angry, and couldn't help tightening the hand on his knee.

"My lord, are you kidding!"

Li Hansheng heard the sound of clenching his molars in Liu Laosan's voice, and knew that he could start talking about business.

"Does Third Master Liu want to change the current situation and strive for a better future for the Liu family and future generations?"

Liu Laosan was still in an angry mood. After hearing Li Hansheng's question, Liu Laosan suddenly stood up.

"Li...Guo Gong...why are you confused!"

Li Hansheng was first startled by Liu Laosan who suddenly stood up, and then was completely confused by Liu Laosan's exclamation with surprise and trembling.

Both of them are shrewd people. They looked at each other for a moment and studied each other's expressions.

Then...the two old foxes discovered that they seemed to have split things up!

Liu Laosan quickly calmed down his expression, straightened his clothes and sat down again.

Li Hansheng also needed some time to think about what Liu Laosan just said, and after thinking about it, he simply ordered a new pot of tea.

The waiter put down the new tea and left the private room, and the entire private room became quiet again.

Li Hansheng and Liu Sanye sat opposite each other, drinking tea in silence, thinking about more things this time.
