After deciding on the general policy for dealing with Rome in the future, Zhao Lang no longer had to worry too much.

It may take twenty to thirty years or even longer for his plan to really take effect!

This will be a long-term, subtle plan!

He was going to take a look at Zhao Hao's situation now. He got up and walked and asked the slave next to him,

"Hao'er, has there been any movement since yesterday?"

Yesterday, he did not deny Zhao Shang's achievements in court.

Moreover, the actions taken against merchants are relatively secretive.

Therefore, in the eyes of Zhao Hao and other ordinary courtiers, it was Zhao Shang who temporarily took the lead in this competition.

This is a big blow to Zhao Hao, who has always had smooth sailing.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to see how Zhao Hao behaved in the face of blows and failures.

A person who can truly take responsibility should know how to face setbacks and failures.

Because this will be the most common thing a person faces in his life.

This is the reason why nine out of ten people are unhappy in life.

You know, even he himself, with the help of the dog system, was not fooled around by his father.

I also encountered a lot of setbacks.

Not to mention, when we were on the grassland, we were almost killed by the Huns.

Therefore, if the other party really wants to do it in the future and his position rises, then he still needs to have this mentality.

After listening to their words, Nu thought for a moment, then said with a smile,

"Master, His Highness Zhao Hao has not come out since he returned to the palace yesterday."

"But from the reports, we could vaguely hear the sounds of quarreling."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lang immediately smiled and said,

"It seems that this kid still needs to practice his mental state."

"Let's go, come with me and take a look."

After saying that, he led the people towards Zhao Hao's palace.

Not long ago, in Zhao Hao's palace,

Xiang Dalong, Lu Yuan, Chao Cuo, Zhou Yafu and other young people were gathering together. They have been basically inseparable in the past few years, and no one stopped them when they entered the palace.

Zhao Hao looked indifferent, but everyone else looked slightly dissatisfied.

Xiang Dalong quickly said with a bit of atmosphere,

"Brother Zhao, when are you going to tell the teacher that Zhao Shang cheated? How could he turn that small village into a town in five years!"

"It's not just about relying on the merchants! If you do this, I can also ask other people to help!"

In the past few years in Da Qin, he studied in Xianyang for the first two years. He followed Zhao Lang whenever he had nothing to do, so he also called him teacher.

In the next few years, I came to Zhao Hao's village and helped out together. According to Heming Academy, this is called an internship.

He is also conscientious, and he has a share of credit for the development of this village.

I originally thought that I would be praised well in the court, but who knew that I would steal the limelight from Zhao Shang!

How could he bear this?

Last night I wanted Zhao Hao to cause trouble for the other party, but Zhao Hao refused.

So early this morning, he urged the other party to find the teacher.

After hearing Xiang Dalong's words, Zhao Hao returned with a smile,

"It's just temporary success or failure, there's no need to fight like this."

Xiang Dalong became even more unconvinced,

"I'm not afraid of losing. My father has long said that winning or losing is a common occurrence in military affairs! The teacher said the same!"

"What makes me angry is that this person didn't follow the rules at all! He used other means to win!"

"I'm not convinced!"

It's not for nothing that he stayed in Da Qin for so long! He won't be angry just because of winning or losing.

Hearing this, the others also nodded slightly. They actually had the same idea, but they didn't express it so fiercely.

If Zhao Hao doesn't speak, they won't say much.

Zhao Hao still showed a smile at this time and said,

"This just reminds us that although someone has made the rules, it doesn't mean we have to abide by them."

"You know, no one dares to violate Father's orders now, but in the future, apart from the laws of heaven and earth, there will be no rules that cannot be violated!"

"As long as you can do good to your own people, what does it matter if you use methods other than those prescribed by the rules?"

"So, this short-term failure has nothing to do with it. I will win it back next time."

He always remembered his father's words, all this is for growth.

Success in competition is of course growth.

But failure, so what?

And in his opinion, the lesson he learned this time was much more profound than before.

Hearing this, the eyes of the other people on the side lit up slightly. It was extremely difficult for the other party to have such an opinion!

But Xiang Dalong was still extremely unconvinced and was about to say something,

A cheerful voice came from outside the palace, and then Zhao Lang came in with someone and said,

"Okay, Hao'er, you have really grown a lot in the past few years."

Seeing Zhao Lang, several young people stood up and saluted.

Zhao Lang waved his hand and sat directly among them without any airs.

"Father, why are you here?"

Zhao Hao said with some embarrassment at this time, his father must have heard what he just said.

Zhao Lang returned with a smile,

"Your brother used some tricks to win this competition. Naturally, dad wants to come and take a look, lest you feel resentful."

"But now it seems that there is no need to worry."

"I'm here to tell you that this matter has been dealt with. According to the rules, you are the final winner."

He had just arrived and indeed waited outside for a while without letting the guards inform him.

After hearing Zhao Hao's words, he felt somewhat comforted.

He has always taught his children not to pay too much attention to temporary wins and losses.

But there are not many that can really be taken to heart.

Faced with temporary wins and losses, most people will still be a little impatient.

Hearing Zhao Lang's words, several young people around Zhao Hao smiled.

Sure enough, they still won!

Xiang Dalong even said carelessly,

"I just said, teacher, you are the most fair!"

"Brother Zhao, you won this time, why don't you hurry up and get the reward!"

Xiang Dalong quickly urged Zhao Hao next to him. Since there are winners and losers in competition, there will naturally be rewards!

This time, Zhao Hao is very likely to skip the management of a single city and go directly to manage a county!

This improvement is huge!

It can also save a lot of time, and in the process of approaching that position, you can be one step ahead of other princes and princesses!

Zhao Lang smiled, pretending that he didn't hear the other party's murmuring words outside just now.

Turning to look at Zhao Hao, he wanted to see what the other party would do.

Facing this good news, Zhao Hao did not show much joy on his face, but quickly returned,

"Father, is my brother okay?? He is still young, and he is surrounded by many business people. It is inevitable that he will be deceived sometimes."

"Father, please be patient and don't punish me too much!"

Seeing this scene, the others were stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Zhao Hao did not take the opportunity to ask for a reward at this time, but defended Zhao Shang.

Zhao Lang also narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a complicated expression,

"There are rewards for winning, and there are penalties for cheating."

"You can plead for him, but your reward will be gone."

"Originally, I wanted to hand over Yunzhong County directly to you, so you have to think clearly."

Hearing this, the slaves on the side couldn't help but look at their master in surprise.

You must know that Yunzhong County was the base on the grassland before the owner knew his identity. The significance of it is much greater than the management of the county itself.
