Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 214 Humiliate Ben Gong!

Chapter 210

Wei Hao said to Li Shimin that his mother was kind to him, and Li Shimin said that Li Shimin was depressed, why didn't he like this kid, and he was not bad to him, right?
"This child, don't be angry with Your Majesty, be careful that he punishes you!" Empress Changsun joked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, sit down, father, you are the best to me!" Wei Hao said in a hurry, while Empress Changsun laughed happily.

"You bastard, how dare you make fun of my father!" Li Shimin also laughed angrily, pointing at Wei Hao and cursing.

"Hey, by the way, here you are, check it yourself!" Wei Hao took out the paper he had hidden in his sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened it in confusion, and found that it was all materials purchased by the court.One is the recorded price, one is not.

"You mean, let me go outside to ask the price, the price is very different?" Li Shimin looked up at Wei Hao and asked.

"It's very big, and the low price is 100% higher than the market price. If it's high, it's just paper. The false price is more than twice the price of our large batches. Father, how can the Ministry of Civil Affairs not be short of money? I guess On the side of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, about [-] yuan of money flows into those aristocratic families every year!" Wei Hao nodded and said to Li Shimin.

"What?" Li Shimin stood up in shock at this moment, and Empress Changsun also looked at Wei Hao dumbly. The 100 million yuan, the money belonging to the court, all flowed into the aristocratic family, and the annual tax income of the Tang Dynasty also It's only about 300 million yuan, and some money is added to the internal funds every year.

In addition, it is to roll over the money owed before to the next year. If there is more income in the next year, some will be repaid, but they never dreamed that something that was not to worry about would be turned into this by those aristocratic families.

"I'm going to kill them!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth angrily and cursed at this moment.

"One million coins, okay, okay, bullying the royal family has no one, bullying the royal family doesn't know how to settle accounts! Good!" Empress Changsun also gritted her teeth.Wei Hao stood there, looking at the two of them.

"Hao'er, do you know? The queen mother saves about 10 yuan from the internal funds every year and gives it to your majesty, so that your majesty can pass it on to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The queen mother is so stuck in the use of internal funds that many royal children complain about the mother. Fortunately, the queen mother is fair, they dare not say in front of the mother,
However, this money, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, actually went into the pockets of the aristocratic family. They are bullying me, your mother, and me!Your mother and I are in charge of the harem, and I have not added a piece of clothing for two years. They are the clothes that were made when His Majesty ascended the throne. The mother has been wearing them all the time, just to save two money, so that His Majesty can solve the affairs of the court. They, they're too much, too much,
Come on, call Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Li Yuanjing to this palace! "Empress Changsun is so angry that her face is turning blue.

Wei Hao was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Empress Changsun's reaction to this matter was greater than that of Li Shimin.

"It's too late, forget it, tomorrow!" Li Shimin immediately stopped the eldest grandson empress.

"Okay, tomorrow, early tomorrow morning, let them come over, if the concubines don't deal with them, the concubines will not be angry, they are simply riding on my head and domineering, watching my jokes, I will live frugally The money they used was put in their pockets,
Is the money of the palace so easy to get, let them ask the children of the royal family if they can agree, they think there is no one in the royal family, right? "Empress Changsun was very angry and wanted to consult with the royal family to discuss how to deal with them.

"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow, yes, very good, I know there is a problem there, but I didn't expect that there is such a big problem!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao while talking,

Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin very ignorantly and said, "Father, you haven't thought about checking it out. Also, don't they settle accounts every year? Don't you read it?"

"There will be no such details for me. It's all a general ledger, and there are some big items, such as how much money was taken by the Ministry of War, how much money was taken by the Ministry of Industry, and other departments. How much, and how much it cost to buy things, but there is no detail!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao with a wry smile.

"Father, why don't you ask?" Wei Hao still asked suspiciously. He didn't know such an obvious thing.

"Ask? Who told you, they said that the accounts haven't come out yet, what accounts you want, they will give you a ready one, what can you see? If you don't want to calculate the general ledger, you need to calculate the income and expenditure of this year , do you think they will tell me the truth?" Li Shimin still said with a wry smile.

"They're too courageous, aren't they afraid of copying and beheading everyone?" Wei Hao still couldn't understand, the aristocratic family's courage was too great.

"Chop all over the house, ha, you think it's so easy, when the time comes, I don't know how many ministers will intercede, if the intercession fails, they will say outside that I have killed indiscriminately, and the court seems to be controlled by me, but the following things , but they are all controlled by the aristocratic family, this time the Ministry of Civil Affairs has checked the accounts, you should understand, I want to change this situation, Haoer, can you help me?" Li Shimin sat there and said to Wei Hao.

"Father, I have been assisting you, okay? It's you, can you not cheat me if you have nothing to do! You also said that I am lazy, but I am not lazy. How many things have I done for Father? Ordinary ministers are not like this. Do you help the father?" Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin and complained.

"Yes, yes, yes, you really helped me a lot, a lot, and I remember it!" Li Shimin immediately nodded and said,

At this time, an eunuch came in outside and said to Empress Changsun: "Madam, the food is ready, do you need to serve it?"

"Come on, besides, bring some fruit!" Empress Changsun said to the eunuch.

"Yes, ma'am!" The eunuch went out immediately, and after a while, the food was delivered, and Wei Hao was not polite, anyway, they had finished eating, so they ate alone, and Li Lizhi also came over after a while.

"Why did you come here?" Empress Changsun asked Li Li with a smile.

"I went to Wei Hao's house, and my aunt is very worried now, because many people have given her New Year's gifts to his family, and their family needs to return gifts, but they don't know how to make snacks, which are controlled by nobles and those aristocratic families , Auntie can’t, I made it, I can’t take it out, don’t I have two prescriptions here, I’ll take it to Wei Hao’s house, and I’ll have dinner at his house!” Li Lizhi sat down with a smile Said.

"Oh, yes, there are still prescriptions in the palace, take two!" Empress Changsun nodded and said,
Wei Hao was swallowing his food. Hearing what Empress Zhangsun said, he immediately waved his hand to signal no need. After swallowing the food, he said, "No, it's not delicious. I'll make it. Don't worry, I'll make sure it's delicious. I'm busy, no If I was busy, I would have already done it!"

"You know how to make snacks?" Empress Zhangsun looked at Wei Hao and asked in surprise, and Li Lizhi also stared at Wei Hao.

"Yes, what can't be done, food, just think about it more, the dim sum in the palace is not good, I panic, I can't swallow it without water!" Wei Hao said to Empress Changsun and the others.

"You son of a bitch, that's the best snack in the palace, but my father gave you the best!" Li Shimin also thought of this, and said to Wei Hao depressedly.

"It's not delicious, it's not delicious, and I didn't say that you don't have my best, don't worry, I will get it when I go back, let my mother prepare some things, and send them to you when the time comes, let you have a look, What is a snack!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile.

"The queen mother is looking forward to it!" Empress Changsun said with a smile. She is still looking forward to what Wei Hao will do. As long as Wei Hao says what to do, he will be able to do it successfully, and he will do it very well. .

"Yeah!" Wei Hao nodded and continued to eat.

After eating, Wei Hao left, it was getting late, and with the cold weather, Wei Hao must have to go home. When he got home, Wei Hao asked his mother to prepare some rice, flour and rice noodles, all of which were available. It's all yellow, not white flour at all.

"Mom, you took it by mistake. This is flour and rice flour. Why is it yellow? Isn't it corn flour?" Wei Hao looked at them in shock and asked.

"Nonsense, I have never seen what corn flour is. This is flour and rice flour!" Wang looked at Wei Hao and said, but he didn't blame him. Wei Hao never cared about such things, just eat some.

"No, it's no wonder that the pancakes I ate were all yellow. At first I thought it was too much oil, but I didn't see how much oil was on the pancakes. Okay, mother, I will use flour and rice noodles. I don’t want that, I’ll do it myself, hey, is there enough time?” Wei Hao sat there and said worryingly, this is not what he needs, thinking of this,

But boasting has already gone out, and it would be a bit shameful not to make it. Thinking of this, Wei Hao can only go back to the room, design a machine to peel off the skin of wheat, and grind it into powder at the same time. The same is true for rice. Similarly, Wei Hao was so busy in the study that he got the two machines out.

There is no engine these days, and horses are still needed to pull it. Wei Hao didn't go to bed until he ensured that he could achieve the result he needed!

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Hao selected some more confidential parts and handed them over to Duan Lun from the Ministry of Industry to build them for him, and handed over the other parts to his blacksmith at home for them to forge. I made it for myself within today, and after explaining those things, Wei Hao went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to settle accounts again.
On the side of the inner palace, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, and Li Yuanjing had already arrived, sitting at the side of the Lizheng Hall, listening to Empress Changsun talking about what Wei Hao said last night.

"What, is it true that you have millions of coins?" Li Xiaogong immediately stood up, his face turned purple with anger,
On the other hand, Li Daozong's hands were shaking, and Li Yuanjing's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it was true.

"Your Majesty has already gone to investigate the actual price of the materials they purchased. I don't know about this in the palace, and neither do you? I don't know that they will take away the money from the court in this way. The palace saves from the inner money every year. The money was sent to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but what happened? Hmm!
What the hell are you doing out there?You don't even know such news, let the money that belongs to the court and the royal family flow into their hands, how do you princes do it?How did you do it? Empress Changsun stared at them and asked very angrily,
At this moment, Li Xiaogong clenched his fists tightly in anger. He really didn't know about this matter, he only knew about the money. Their aristocratic family got it but how much it got. Well, they also dare not speak, dare not refute a word.

"I don't know what you should do. They need to spit out this money. They need to spit out the money that belongs to the royal family. It's not that the court didn't give them salaries, and they gave them a lot of salaries, which is enough for them to live well." life, and as a result they want to live in luxury,
Taking the money from the court and living a luxurious life, this palace does not agree, no wonder the money is not enough every year, the money has gone into their pockets, you~" Empress Changsun pointed at the three of them.

"Your Majesty, we were wrong. Leave this matter to us, and we will definitely make them spit it out!" Li Daozong also stood up and assured Empress Changsun.

"Don't do it yet, wait until Hao'er has finished the calculation, otherwise you will startle the snake. The reason why I am telling you now is to ask you to investigate secretly.

Also, do the children of the royal family have any talents? Do they just know how to go to painting boats and brothels, so there is no one to do things?

You, give me a good reprimand for those royal children. The royal family gives them money every year to let them live a good life, not to let them enjoy the blessings, but they must not care about the affairs of the country. If they know the news in advance, Report to you, you come to report to this palace, why did you come to this point?
Um?Tell them that my palace is very angry with them, if this matter is not handled well, all the benefits in the future will be halved, and they don't know how to maintain it themselves, so they rely on His Majesty and this palace to maintain it.How can I have so much time to do such a thing?Um? "Empress Changsun continued to reprimand them, none of them dared to speak, they all lowered their heads, very annoyed!
"Secretly investigate and get the money back to me. If you can't get it back, don't say that I don't take care of the royal children. Why do you take care of so many wastes? Huh? Also, there are not many royal children. Do a good job of learning, otherwise, the court will be controlled by the aristocratic family like this, let me rely on my son-in-law to handle things, if there is no son-in-law of my son-in-law, I will be ridiculed by them for a lifetime, or even a few lifetimes !” Empress Changsun continued to reprimand.

"Mother, after I go back, I will pay close attention to this matter, including the matter of studying. From now on, if I don't study, I will pay less salary, and I can't rely on the royal family to live. I am wandering around Chang'an!" Li Xiaogong cupped his hands to the eldest grandson empress. Said.

"This is the best way, anyway, you guys will remember it for me, it's too embarrassing, I was so angry last night that I didn't sleep well!" Empress Changsun said to the three of them.

"It's because we didn't do things well, which made the empress angry!" Li Xiaogong said again, clasping his hands.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we will take care of this matter when we go back!" Li Yuanjing also stood up and said to Empress Changsun.

"Okay, I know, I still say the same thing, first investigate secretly, don't let Hao'er of the palace be tricked, and when the matter is clear, you can make trouble again. This time, the palace will let the aristocratic family take off a layer of skin. You should humiliate me like this!" Empress Changsun looked at them angrily and said.

"Yes!" The three of them stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Hey, that's fine, sit down, sit down and talk! Your Majesty, don't go there either. He is also angry now. If you go, you will probably be scolded. Now Your Majesty is also secretly investigating this matter. Anyway , This matter needs to be explained to the people of the world!
In the future, you need to pay attention. Sometimes, you still need to maintain the dignity of the royal family, and you can't be trampled by them. "Empress Changsun eased her tone towards them, and said,
They also nodded, and then began to chat,
And Li Shimin sent his confidants to inquire about those prices, especially the prices recorded on the purchase time, as much as possible,
Wei Hao didn't care about those things, he continued to settle the accounts. At night, Wei Hao had just settled the accounts and went out when he saw Wang Kui and Cui Yu standing at the door waiting for him.

"Master Wei, do you have time? Let's go to Juxian Building for dinner? I'll be the host!" Cui Yu looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile.

"No time, I'm still worried. Now many nobles have sent gifts to my family, but my family still doesn't know how to return the gifts. The desserts haven't been made yet. When I go back, I still need to make desserts. Otherwise, I will It's a shame!" Wei Hao said as he looked at them and waved his hands.

"Ah, making dim sum, Mr. Wei, do you know how to do this? Besides, such a thing, just leave it to the servants to do it. Why do you do it yourself?" Cui Yu said to Wei Hao with a sneer.

"They won't either, I have to think about it, that's all right, I understand your intentions, and I know your purpose, I can only say, I will try my best to protect you, but, I have also discovered now, very Difficult, your hands and feet are too big, I can't protect them,
Let me give you a suggestion, let the patriarch of their family come. Those in charge of you in the capital may not be able to handle this matter well. Maybe many people will lose their heads. If your patriarch comes over, have a good talk with His Majesty. Talk, I think, you still have a glimmer of hope, the words have come to an end, it's up to you whether you listen or not! " Wei Hao looked at them with a smile and said.

"What, this? Lord Wei, we didn't do anything!" Cui Yu subconsciously said to Wei Hao. After speaking, he felt that he had made a mistake. Saying this in front of Wei Hao, isn't it courting death?
