"This is not enough, Shubai should know." Huo Jia looked at Li Shubai.

Li Shubai sighed, "I have discussed this with Meixian Cheng and the others. These people are all young and strong, and we are also thinking about what kind of work to arrange for them."

Huo Ting patted his chest and said, "How about leaving it to me?"

Tianbao smiled when he heard this and said, "Do you want to develop trade in Xinchang County?"

Huo Ting smiled and nodded. "Yes, that's what I think, but the details depend on whether you agree or not."

Li Shubai was very interested. "Tell me about it."

"I plan to dig a few ponds and build a few bridges and pavilions outside Xinchang County. When the time comes, I can also invite merchants from Xinchang County to come in and reserve space for them."

"You have a good idea. You are worthy of being a businessman." Li Shubai looked at him.

Huo Ting laughed. "I just thought that we were all friends. I made money and solved your problem."

Li Shubai thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "I think that's great. I'll give you a reply after discussing it with them tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. This matter can't be rushed."

"Are you done?" Li Jin looked at everyone. "Let's go eat. They came all the way here, so we have to treat them well."

After Li Jin finished speaking, he pulled Huo Ting and Rong Heng out, "Let's go, let's go... The food and drinks are ready, let's have a good meal."

Li Shubai followed behind with a smile.

Rong family

"What did you say? Rong Heng is here?" asked Master Rong.

"I saw it with my own eyes. He came with Huo Ting from the Huo family and went directly to the county government office." said Master Rong.

"What is he doing in Xinchang County?" Mr. Rong was very puzzled.

"What else can we do? He is an ungrateful person. We are his tribesmen. He is heartless and uncultured. He didn't even come in to take a look when he came." Master Rong was very angry.

Master Rong waved his hand and said, "Okay, what's the situation now? You want to use the same tactics as your clansmen to deal with him? That's impossible.

How can you expect a man who was driven away by his own father to have any affection in his heart?"

"Then what should we do? Just ignore it? This should be an opportunity. Our relationship with Lord Li has become too strained. What if we let Rong Heng mediate?"

Master Rong thought for a while and said, "Well, tomorrow you should prepare some gifts to meet him and lower your attitude."

Master Rong: "Okay, I understand."

The next day

Master Rong was refused entry, Rong Heng did not even come out to see him, so Master Rong left with a look of anger on his face.

Huo Ting looked out the window, and only turned around and sat down at the table after Master Rong walked away.

The two men temporarily stayed in the inn and did not stay in the county government office.

"He looked angry."

Rong Heng was reading a book, and he didn't even raise his head when he heard it. "What happens to him has nothing to do with me. Do you really think that just because they are members of the Rong family, I can put aside my grudges and make friends with them?

It's just a pipe dream. I won't deal with them because we are of the same race."

Huo Ting shook the fan in his hand and said, "That's exactly what I meant. It's a pity that they can't figure it out. They even want you to help repair the relationship between Tianbao and Li Shubai. You're so shameless."

Li Shubai discussed Huo Ting's matter with Meixian County Magistrate Zhang and others, and they all agreed.

The Huo family is not an ordinary businessman. Not only is he an imperial merchant, he is also from the same clan as Master Huo.

Just based on this point, no one in Xinchang County dares to cause trouble.

Li Shubai brought Meixian County Magistrate to find Huo Ting, and the three of them discussed some details and started construction three days later.

Rong Heng was still stopped by Master Rong and his son.

He was just about to go to the shop to buy some snacks for Tianbao, but he was caught by the Rong family's father and son just as he left the inn.

Rong Heng really admired the two of them. His attitude was so obvious, but they seemed to be blind to it.

He is able to bend and stretch, worthy of being a great squire who has stood firm in Xinchang County for a hundred years.

In the room

"Ah Heng..." Master Rong wanted to play the emotional card.

"Please call me Lord Rong. I'm sure Lord Rong should know that I am not a commoner now."

Rong Heng's attitude towards them was very cold.

Master Rong chuckled a few times and didn't care about his attitude.

"I heard that Master Huo is planning to start construction in the suburbs of Xinchang County? That's quite a big deal. I also heard that he is looking for businessmen to take up space and do business there."

Master Rong smiled kindly and continued, "We in the Rong family also have a few shops. Can you see if you can let us in as well?"

Young Master Rong said on the side, "Brother Heng, it is said that the wealth should be kept within the family. We are one family, and we prosper together."

"Even if your Rong family is confiscated and exterminated, I will not be implicated. Do you believe it?" Rong Heng said coldly.

"Impossible, we are from the same clan. If we are not good, do you think you will have a good reputation?" Master Rong shouted.

"Haha, you don't know yet, right? I have already established a separate clan, and it is not the same clan as your Rong family.

I am now a member of the clan of Grandpa Rong Zeng. Grandpa Rong Zeng and you are divided into two clans, and there is a document to prove it. We are very distantly related. "

After Rong Heng finished speaking, he stood up and left without caring about the ugly expressions of the father and son.

After he left, Master Rong angrily swept all the teacups on the table to the ground.

"Dad...what should I do? This Rong Heng is too heartless. He doesn't even want to be his biological father."

Master Rong seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. "It's over. The Rong family is over."

If they don't want to end up like the Yang and Qiao families, they have to leave and can no longer stay in Xinchang County.

The next day, the Rong family started selling shops, houses and farms on a large scale. It was a big deal and they didn't hide it.

County Office

Except for Li Shubai, Huo Ting, Tianbao and others were sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

"Did you do anything about the Rong family? What did you do to scare them into selling their assets and running away?" Li Jin was very curious.

Tianbao, Li Xiaoning and others also looked at him curiously.

“Nothing, just tell them that I moved the Rong family tree out, and I will no longer be part of the same clan as them, but a separate branch. There were conflicts between the two clans in the past.

Over the past few decades, our relationship has become increasingly distant. We are no longer considered members of the same clan. Perhaps they are afraid that I will retaliate against them."

Rong Heng answered calmly, as if he was talking about someone else.

"That's great, and you're really fast. We should stay away from people like this as soon as possible. They are a bunch of stupid idiots who are good at cheating people." Li Jin gave him a thumbs up.

"It's better to leave them anyway. They are a bunch of selfish guys. They won't care about you at all." Qian Xiaoxiao continued.

"Why don't we go to the suburbs to take a look? I wonder how they are preparing?" Tianbao got up from the chair.

Li Xiaoning strongly agreed, "Go, go, I'll go."

Qian Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, "Then let's go and take a look together."

After they agreed, they asked someone to prepare the carriage and headed for the suburbs.

Suburb

Everyone was working enthusiastically. Huo Ting recruited many people to dig ditches, and many people drove ox carts to pick up stones on the mountain.
