Chapter 245 I don't know anything

Chapter 241

Wei Hao asked Li Shimin to build the road, and when Li Shimin heard it, he asked Wei Hao suspiciously, is the road really that bad?
"Don't you know if you go and see for yourself? I can still lie to you about this, and you don't trust people too much!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin angrily and said.

"You son of a bitch!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao fiercely.

Only this kid dared to say such words in front of him, but when he said such words, he just got angry on the spot, and then forgot.

"Let's go and take a look with my father!" Li Shimin stood up after speaking.

"What?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in a daze.

"Accompany me to take a look, there is nothing to do anyway!" Li Shimin stood there, opened his hands, and said, "Change, put on ordinary people's clothes!"

"You're fine, I'm busy. I'm going to see my mother, the old man, and Li Zhi!" Wei Hao shouted at Li Shimin very loudly.

"They won't run away anymore, let's go with Father!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.

"Okay, just go, if it wasn't for the people, I wouldn't go with you!" Wei Hao said helplessly, thinking in his heart, if Li Shimin went to see it, and it would benefit the people, then let's go.

Soon, the group left the palace and headed outside Chang'an City.

Wei Hao thought about it, and sent someone to notify Wei Cong and Cui Cheng.

When they got outside the west city, Li Shimin stood on the side of the road outside the west city, looking at those roads, worried.

"Look, this is Chang'an. The roads are so dilapidated. I don't know what other cities look like!" Wei Hao stood there and said with a smile. Li Shimin felt that he was laughing at himself.

"Father, I didn't say you, you said that you are the emperor, what you have to do is to make the people of the world rich and convenient, the matter of being rich takes time, and the matter of making things convenient has always been something that needs to be done, you see Look, how long has this road been repaired, maybe more than 20 or [-] years?" Wei Hao continued to look at Li Shimin with a smile and said.

"It hasn't been repaired since the end of the Sui Dynasty, hey!" Li Shimin sighed looking at the road, such a bad road, I really dare not think about it.

"Your Majesty, the Chang'an county magistrate and Chang'an county magistrate are here!" A guard said in front of Li Shimin.

"Let them come over!" Li Shimin said in a low voice.

Soon, Wei Cong and Cui Cheng came over, Wei Cong was shocked, Wei Hao asked him to build the road before, but unexpectedly, His Majesty came to see it now.

"Why hasn't this road been repaired? You see for yourself, what a rotten road, how do ordinary people still walk? As officials in charge of Chang'an, why do you turn a blind eye to this road?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Cong and questioned.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's not that I don't build roads, it's because I don't have money. We just planned to build roads this year because we still have some money this year, but it's winter and we can't start building roads yet. Your Majesty, after the beginning of spring, we will start building roads! "Wei Cong immediately cupped his hands and said.

"How much money does your county government have now?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"There is still 800 guan, I think, when the roads out of the city are repaired, it is estimated that each road can be repaired for about 10 miles. If there is too much, we can't afford it. We really don't have that much money!" Wei Cong Immediately arched his hands and said.

Fortunately, after listening to Wei Hao's words, I personally went outside the four city gates to see it, and walked along those roads.

"It's not bad to be able to repair ten miles!" Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Wei Hao and said, "Hao'er, tell me, if you want to repair it, how should you repair it?"

"Paying money to ask the people to repair it does not mean that the people should do hard labor. There is nothing wrong with the people doing hard labor. But if you ask the people to repair it, the people will have some money and they will buy more things. At that time, the court will also be able to do it. Receive more taxes, and at the same time, the people can become rich!" Wei Hao said standing there.

"Can the common people become rich?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao in confusion.

"Well, think about it, the people are now farming, and it is only enough for their own family's life. If they come to work and get an extra wage, then they will think about whether they need to buy some things that they need at home. Or send your own children to study, or buy some properties, no matter what they do, they will pay taxes indirectly, so that the court will also have money to collect!

At the same time, when they buy something, it will also make those who sell it rich, thus forming a cycle, a virtuous cycle! "Wei Hao stood there and said.

"Then it will cost a lot of money!" Li Shimin said standing there with his hands behind his back.

"Well, let's build the main commercial roads, such as the road from Chang'an to the northwest. This is the main road for Hu merchants, and it is also the main road for our Tang army. After the road is repaired, the army will march faster.

In other words, from Chang'an to Luoyang, and from Luoyang to Qilu land, this is also the main commercial road. There are many people traveling, and the money needs to be spent wisely to benefit the most people. At the same time, the strategic layout of the court must also be considered. "Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Strategic layout?" Li Shimin continued to stare at Wei Hao and said.

"Well, for example, build the road from Chang'an to the northwest. This road is not only for merchants, but also to mobilize troops to the northwest as quickly as possible. For example, from Chang'an to Qilu land, this road is the granary of Datang. In this case When the front line of the Tang Dynasty needs food, it can mobilize the food as quickly as possible!" Wei Hao stood there and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, it makes sense!" Li Shimin nodded to Wei Hao and said.

"The two of you are responsible for repairing the roads in Chang'an County. Write a note on how much it will cost. Remember, there is no need for labor, and the people are invited to work!" Li Shimin said to Wei Cong and the others.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them immediately clapped their hands together and said.

"Hao'er!" Li Shimin then shouted at Wei Hao.

"My son is here!" Wei Hao said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Write a note and write down your main idea of ​​road construction. If I want to read it, I will hand it over to the court for discussion. I will try to build one this year!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Ah, do you still want to write an excerpt?" Wei Hao heard it, and looked at Li Shimin in embarrassment.

Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao fiercely.

"Write, write, really, it's so troublesome, if I knew it, I would have said I didn't know anything!" Wei Hao said immediately surrendering.

"Wei Cong, brother of your clan, you are too lazy, but you still think about things very comprehensively. If you don't understand anything about road construction, just ask your brother!" Li Shimin turned to Wei Cong. Said.

"Yes, Lord Wei is indeed talented!" Wei Cong nodded immediately.

"Okay, you guys go back, we're going back to the palace too, Hao'er, let's go directly to the harem, I have notified your mother, and I will have lunch at the Lizheng Hall at noon." Li Shimin said, and went inside with his hands behind his back Walk.

Wei Hao followed helplessly, Wei Cong and Cui Cheng stood there respectfully, watching them leave.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at my brother, how amazing!" Wei Cong said enviously.

"Well, it's all right now. I have money to build roads. How to write the booklet depends on you!" Cui Cheng nodded and said to Wei Cong.

"Well, I have to ask Lord Wei, otherwise, I can't write it, do you know how much it costs?" Wei Cong looked at Cui Cheng and said.

Cui Cheng was stunned for a moment.

"If you want too much, you can't do it, and if you want less, you still have to ask the Sir. He knows how to do it. Wei Hao asked me to build roads a few years ago, so I paid attention to it. Unexpectedly, he It’s really unimaginable that His Majesty can build the road so quickly!” Wei Cong said with great emotion as he sat there.

"Well, then let's go back. If you have time, visit Wei's mansion. Hurry up. You will be eighteen in a few days. By then, Wei Hao will be crowned, and there will be many people in his family." Cui Cheng said to Wei Cong .

Wei Cong nodded. Of course he knew that Wei Hao was going to be crowned. During this time, so many of the married women in Wei Hao's family came back, how could he not know?
On Li Shimin's side, Li Shimin has been thinking about it. In the morning, he asked Wei Hao how to spend the money in Ganlu Hall. Wei Hao talked about road construction and education. Now he understands road construction, but education Wei Hao hasn't said yet.

"Hao'er, you said about the road construction, and the emperor agrees, but what about the education?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao while riding on the horse.

"It's very simple. It is to let more people in the world study. I don't need to talk about this, right?" Wei Hao asked while sitting on the horse, looking at Li Shimin puzzled.

"What you said is simple, how to educate? There are no books!" Li Shimin said with a sigh.

"The library is the largest library, Your Majesty, you can build more houses outside the library, keep it empty, and keep it as a spare for those who want to study.

Isn't the school recruiting 300 people?However, students can still be observed, and, hey, if there is a need to test knowledge, those students who observe can also discuss together.

At the same time, it should be achieved that paper and ink can be used freely, as long as their family can support them to observe in this way all the time, and at that time, outstanding students can also be selected from among the students who observe.

In addition, they can also participate in the imperial examination, as long as they get the recommendation letters from the gentlemen! " Wei Hao said with a smile.

The imperial examinations in the early Tang Dynasty were different from those of the later generations. The later generations took the examinations from the bottom to the top. However, the scientific examinations in the early Tang Dynasty were divided into two types. Examination, the other is that students who are not from the academy, take the exam in their state, and after passing, they are sent to the Ministry of Shangshu for the exam.

Moreover, those who take the exam not only look at the exam results, but also have recommendations from various people.Therefore, the examinees rushed to the servants of the ministers one after another, submitting their masterpieces to them, which is called submitting papers.

Moreover, the scientific examinations in the Tang Dynasty were divided into regular subjects and system subjects. The regular subjects were held once a year, usually in spring, also called Chunwei.

"Well, is this okay?" Li Shimin heard it, and sat on the horse and thought about it.

"Of course, we can recruit talents in any way, as long as they are talents, we want them!" Wei Hao said with certainty.

"Decree talents without sticking to one pattern, okay, okay, this sentence is good, okay, but Haoer, the emperor found out that it is right to let you manage the school, you boy, understand!" Li Shimin heard Wei Hao say so Said, said very happily.

"I don't know anything, I'm just fooling around!" Wei Hao said immediately, waving his hands.

"You're just lazy. How can you be so lazy? It's outrageous!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.

Wei Hao didn't speak, he didn't want to speak, who was he being lazy in?

Soon, Wei Hao and the others arrived at the palace, at the Lizheng Hall.

"Mother, I'm here!" Wei Hao shouted loudly when he entered the small courtyard.

"Come in quickly, this child, why did it take you so long to come back?" Empress Changsun's voice came from inside.

"My father dragged me around!" Wei Hao immediately complained and shouted.

Li Shimin heard it from the front, and his teeth itched with hatred.

Entering the living room of Ganlu Hall, I found that Li Chengqian and his wife were also there.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I've seen Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" Wei Hao immediately clasped his fists and said.

Li Lizhi on the side was playing with Li Zhi in his arms.

"Hey, girl, what have you been up to lately?" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi and laughed.

"What can you do? You are so lazy about porcelain! You haven't been to the porcelain workshop for so long." Li Lizhi rolled Wei Hao's eyes and said.

"Isn't this busy?" Wei Hao immediately said helplessly.

"What are you busy with? I haven't been here for a while. You are angry with your father, but it has nothing to do with your mother!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Busy to pick up the married women of my family. Hey, I go to the Shili Pavilion every day to wait for someone. I'm the only backup at home. Who do you say I won't pick up?" Wei Hao sat down and said with a sigh.

"That's right, it's going to be crowned. It's a good thing. After being crowned, you can do things for the court. By the way, the queen mother made two clothes for you, and I will send them to you when the time comes." The eldest grandson empress smiled at Wei Hao Said.

"Queen mother, don't be so troublesome, the family can do it, you are tired of taking those children, and you still worry about my affairs!" Wei Hao immediately persuaded the eldest grandson empress and said.

"It's nothing. It's okay now. They can still play cards. They have court ladies watching, so I don't need to worry about it!" Empress Changsun immediately said with a smile.

"Well, Gao Ming, how do you plan to spend the money in your treasury?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

"Ah?" Li Chengqian was quite shocked when he heard it, and had various questions in his heart.

"You have almost 2 coins in your treasury. This money is quite a lot. Originally, I wanted to take it back, but Wei Hao had a different view. He said, as a prince, you need money to spend. You can do a lot of things, and my father sat down to ask you what you plan to do with the money!" Li Shimin continued to say to Li Chengqian,
Empress Changsun was also very shocked. She didn't know about this, how did the prince have so much money.

"Father, this son-in-law hasn't thought it through yet!" Li Chengqian said bravely.

Now he also knows that Li Shimin will not get his money back, and Wei Hao will help him with this.

But now he asks himself how to spend the money, it must be for the officials who follow him, to bribe those people, but money is needed.

"Father, look at what you're asking!" Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin with contempt.

Li Shimin heard it and turned to look at Wei Hao.

"It's only been a few days since the money was in his hands. If it were me, I would definitely need to count the days. When I made money, I sat in the warehouse and looked at it for a long time. I have never seen so much money. , then don’t take a good look!” Wei Hao immediately said to Li Shimin.

"Hey!" Li Chengqian suddenly smiled.

"Look, His Royal Highness must have done this before!" Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Chengqian and said.

"No, don't slander Gu, Gu just goes to see if there is anything missing!" Li Chengqian immediately retorted.

"Look, let me tell you, don't ask him how to spend it now, let's talk about it later, now he is reluctant to spend a penny. People who have just made money don't want to spend a penny." Wei Hao Immediately looked at Li Shimin and said.

"You guys!" Li Shimin looked at them helplessly at the moment, and believed Wei Hao's words in his heart, otherwise, Li Chengqian would not have said to visit them every day, so he reflected on himself, whether he was too harsh on Li Chengqian.

"Well, Gao Ming, you should keep this money for yourself, don't just buy those extravagant things, but spend the money on key things!" Li Shimin continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Uncle, don't listen to his nonsense, he should buy it, he doesn't understand!" Wei Hao immediately said to Li Chengqian.

"No, why don't I understand?" Li Shimin was furious, this kid has been pissing him off all day today.

"If you have money, you don't want to buy good things? Is that a normal person? Buy what you should buy, but don't buy everything. Just buy what you like. When you buy more, you will buy more. I found out that this is the case, you can buy it or not, it doesn’t matter if you have it or not, slowly, you won’t buy it, I don’t understand, if you have money, you don’t want to improve your life, you want to do it Anything else, is there something wrong with your head?" Wei Hao immediately sat there and said to Li Chengqian.

"Well, it makes sense!" Li Chengqian nodded and said, while Li Shimin was thinking about it.

"Okay, Gao Ming, what your father wants you to understand is that as a crown prince, you must know how to be diligent and thrifty, and not just enjoy a luxurious life. This is not acceptable. Also, your wealth is not yours. It belongs to the people of the world!" Empress Changsun sat there and said.

"Well, queen mother, you are this!" Wei Hao nodded immediately, and at the same time gave a thumbs up to Empress Changsun.

When Li Shimin saw it, he was stunned for a moment. He himself said such things. Not only did this kid not praise himself, but he even hated himself. Incorrect?
