Chapter 244

····This chapter is a supplement to the chapter that was updated yesterday. Sorry, yesterday was really tiring! ···

Wei Ting didn't understand what Wei Hao did, why did he deal with the family like this.

"Brother Clan, you are also a person who has studied, and you have become the right minister of Shangshu, so I will ask you, is the existence of the family a good thing or a bad thing?" Wei Hao sat there, looked at Wei Ting and asked.

"This?" Wei Ting heard Wei Hao's question and thought about it. How do you ask yourself to answer such a question?

"There are good and bad. Of course, it was good in the past. After all, there are not many scholars. The aristocratic family has maintained the continuation of our culture. It is a good thing, but the existence of the aristocratic family is also a bad thing. They control the books and enslave the people of the world. Now they think they are superior , Those ordinary people are just ants, they shouldn't show up, they should be squeezed by them all the time, I don't agree with this brother.

My family, the most realistic example, almost half of the money my father earns is contributed to the family. As for the family, it is distributed to the children of officials. I just want to ask, why?If there is no aristocratic family, can the money my father earns be kept by himself? Why should the money earned by his own ability be distributed to the family?
That's right, the family has given our family shelter, but there is no family, do we still need shelter?Also, those ordinary people outside, as long as their wealth exceeds 1000 yuan, people from aristocratic families will start thinking about their family property, especially those with business, they will definitely plunder other people's business, what is this world?Why is the aristocratic family so domineering.

Also, let's talk about the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the money that belongs to the common people, not the money of the aristocratic family.It would be great if the money they took away was used to develop education, repair roads, and strengthen the military, but the money was distributed to those officials. Why?Why do they use the people's tax money to divide it privately?
You just said that I want to dig the roots of the family, you can ask the patriarch, I really want to dig the roots, the family is probably already worried, what should I do! "Wei Hao sat there, looked at Wei Ting and said.

Wei Ting looked at Wei Hao, but still didn't understand Wei Hao.

"Brother Clan, I don't have such big ambitions, I just hope that it will be fair, relatively fair, and give those common people a chance to stand out, so that they won't be able to stand up at all. I, Wei Hao, am lucky enough to stand up. However, how many people have my luck? Reading is their only chance, and I don't want to deprive them of this opportunity.

Besides, the imperial court is not a monopoly, and the family cannot have the final say, but the people of the world have the final say, and officials from poor families, I believe there will be many scum among them, but there are also good officials, but there is one thing I can do Certainly, ordinary people can see hope, and they will force their children to study. In this way, the world will make progress instead of relying on the family all the time.

What the aristocratic family wants to do now is to maintain the current state, hoping that the aristocratic family will always control the world.I don't agree with this!Just talk about the roads outside Chang'an City, how many county magistrates have gone through, and has anyone repaired it?Um?Does it cost a lot of money to build those roads?Don't need it?But why no one does it?Don't just think about it, it's none of my business, anyway, I have been working for a few years, and the position above is vacant, so I will go up! "Wei Hao continued to speak.

Wei Ting sat there quietly and thought about it.

"The establishment of the Overwatch Council is to urge all the officials to work, to educate, and to hope that more talents in the world will come out to be used by the court and the people of the world. It's as simple as that. As for what you said, poaching the corners of the aristocratic family, eh , Strictly speaking, forget it, but if I really want to dig, this is really pediatrics!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said with a sneer.

"You're not afraid. The aristocratic family will strongly oppose this matter if they know about it?" Wei Ting looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Opposition is certain, but this is His Majesty's business. If he is capable, he will promote this matter, and if he is not capable, he will shelve it. What can I do? I am only responsible for coming up with ideas. I don't care if it can be done!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Ting with a smile and said.

Wei Ting heard it and nodded.

"Brother Clan, this broken ship of the family will sink sooner or later. Brother Clan should think more about himself and the people. Maybe he can leave his name in history. As for the affairs of the family, you don't need to think about it, brother. It's useless, sooner or later. about it!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Ting and persuaded him.

Wei Ting heard it, and smiled wryly, how could it be as easy as he said, except Wei Hao, who else could suppress the family like this?
"Well, I'll think about it, but I also want to remind you that you need to think carefully about what you do. Don't just help His Majesty. Sometimes, it may not be a good thing!" Wei Ting reminded Wei Hao.

"I know, I'm not helping His Majesty. If I was helping His Majesty, I wouldn't write that memorial. I'm for the people of the world, and I just hope that the people will have more opportunities." Wei Hao nodded, facing Wei Quite emphatically said.

"Okay, that's fine. You will be crowned tomorrow. Congratulations to you first. You are considered an adult. You will need to go to court in the future. By then, you will not be alone." Wei Ting smiled at Wei Hao Arched his hands and said.

"What did you say, Shangchao?" Wei Hao stared at Wei Ting and asked.

"Of course, after being crowned, you must go to court. Even if you don't hold any official position, you still need to go, unless His Majesty specially approves. Of course, if you don't have a specific official position, you don't need to go to court. , but those above earl must go!" Wei Ting said to Wei Hao.

"Damn!" Wei Hao shouted immediately.

"No, you, what's the matter?" Wei Ting really didn't understand why Wei Hao was so surprised. Isn't this something that children know?
"I don't want to go to court, no, I have to find a way. I'm already very tired from practicing martial arts every day, and I have to go to court. I'm full?" Wei Hao sat there, touching himself said the head.

Wei Ting looked at Wei Hao in astonishment. He actually said that the Shang Dynasty was full of food. What do the officials in the Shang Dynasty think?

"Okay, I'll take my leave first!" Wei Ting stood up at this moment. Regarding Wei Hao, he still had a lot of things that he couldn't understand, so forget it, don't want to!

"Okay, I'll see you off!" Wei Hao also stood up and walked to the door of his small courtyard. After seeing Wei Ting leave, Wei Hao touched his head very depressed, and wanted to go up. This, a bit Pit!
Very early the next day, Wei Hao was called up.

"Well, did I oversleep? Are you going to practice martial arts?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong and Wang Shi who were sitting there, and was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he had overslept.

"No, get up quickly, you are going to pay homage to the ancestral hall, and pray to the ancestors, may my son be safe and sound, get up quickly! There are more than ten crowned people on the family side today, and a large number of children are crowned every day! "Wei Furong looked at Wei Ting and said.

"I still want to practice martial arts! Why didn't you say it before?" Wei Hao sat up, and the servant came over to dress Wei Hao.

"I said I'm going, I just told the housekeeper, when your master comes, I will tell your master!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao had no choice but to obey the arrangement.

After washing up, he didn't even eat breakfast, so he took a carriage to the ancestral hall. Wei Furong brought the tribute. When he arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall, the carriage stopped. Wei Hao and Wei Furong went in with the tribute. When they got inside, they found two kneeling I am a teenager, and the incense is lit.

"Hao'er, go light incense and worship the ancestors. You should do these things yourself!" Wei Furong stood there and said to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao nodded, began to light incense, and then carried the basket containing the tribute, worshiped the ancestors, and then knelt down for an hour.

And Wei Furong went back first.

"Are you the Duke of the County?" the young man next to him looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Yeah!" Wei Hao nodded.

"I've met Azu!" The boy cupped his hands to Wei Hao. Wei Hao was very embarrassed. He was about the same age as him, and he actually called himself Azu.

"My name is Wei Qiang. Well, does your family have land?" The young man looked at Wei Hao and continued to ask.

"Do you want to farm?" Wei Hao asked.

"Well, my family wants to farm land. The family that my family planted before sold the land. The new owner asked us to pay an extra [-]% of the rent, which reached [-]%. My father said it was not worth it. Listen Said that your family has a lot of land, do you need human race?" Wei Qiang looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Need it, but how about you, have you studied yet?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Qiang and asked.

"No, I only know a few words without studying. My father taught me, so I don't have the money to study!" Wei Qiang looked at Wei Hao and said embarrassedly.

"Doesn't the family have ethnology? Why don't you study?" Wei Hao asked in confusion.

"There is no way to work if you study, and you have to spend money. Although you don't need to spend money to study, you need to spend money to eat. How can you have money at home?" Wei Qiang said embarrassingly.

"Then it's your father's incompetence to blame, the Wei family's children are like this!" Another young man looked at Wei Qiang contemptuously and said.

"Well, what does your father do?" Wei Hao looked at the boy and asked.

"Master Hui, my father is Wei Chenghai, the secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and my name is Wei Cong!" The young man immediately said politely to Wei Hao.

"Oh, your father is an official!" Wei Hao nodded, then looked at Wei Qiang and said, "After you go back, tell your father to let your father come to my house. When my servants ask, you just say , I asked you to find it, and when the time comes, let my father plant it for your family, and your family can plant as much land as you want!"

"Hey, thank you Sir, you can rest assured that my father is good at farming, and I am also doing well. After a few years, I will marry a wife, and I will also plant the land of the Sir's family!" Wei Qiang said very happily.

"Well, if the ethnology asks you to study, will you go?" Wei Hao thought about it and asked.

"I'm not going, I'm already this old, I still consider helping my father with various lands, and raising my younger siblings!" Wei Qiang said with a silly smile, touching his head.

"Well, good!" Wei Hao nodded.

"My lord, I'm studying ethnology. This spring, please help me to see my submission!" Wei Cong looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile.

"Well, I can't understand those, and I haven't read any books!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

When Wei Cong heard it, he smiled again and said, "It's okay, just help me to see it, and then write your comments!" Wei Cong continued to say to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao nodded, but did not speak. At this time, another father and son came in outside. They also held the coronation ceremony today. After the worship, the boy knelt in the ancestral hall.

"What's your name and what do you do?" Wei Cong looked at the boy and asked.

"My name is Wei Yun, I run a shop at home!" the boy said.

"Oh!" Wei Cong heard him, and stopped talking to him, but looked at Wei Hao and said, "My lord, the food at Juxian Building in your house is really delicious. I often eat it. Now that they have dumplings, Steamed stuffed buns and white noodles are really delicious!"

Wei Cong looked at Wei Hao and continued talking. Wei Hao nodded with a smile, but still didn't speak.

And Wei Yun next to him looked at Wei Hao, hesitant to say something, Wei Hao saw it, but if the other party didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask, would he?
"Are you Wei Hao's old ancestor?" Wei Yun plucked up his courage, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, I am!" Wei Hao nodded, thinking in his heart that his seniority had risen to another level.

"Well, I want to ask you one thing!" The young man looked at Wei Hao and said with great determination.

"Well, tell me!" Wei Hao nodded.

"I am studying in a private school and want to take the imperial examination, but I need a recommender to take the imperial examination, but my father went to the county magistrate, and I heard that the county magistrate is also our ancestor, but he couldn't get in at all, so he couldn't find it. I can't find any other officials in the family, so I want to find you, can you write a letter of recommendation for me to take the exam, I need to take the exam of Chang'an County first, and I can take it only after I pass it Chunwei, and the exam in Chang'an County will be held at the end of the month!" Wei Yun looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Oh, are there any requirements for the recommendation letter? Or just write a random one?" Wei Hao asked while looking at Wei Yun.

"Just write one. I'll hand it over to the county magistrate, and then I can take the exam." Wei Yun said to Wei Hao.

"Well, okay, is there any paper and pen here?" Wei Hao nodded, then looked left and right, on a desk, saw the paper and pen, stood up, went to bring the paper, pen and inkstone, and made some The water poured into the inkstone, so he came over and continued to kneel down.

"My lord, I'll grind ink for you!" Wei Yun was very excited at the moment, and immediately came over on his knees to grind ink for Wei Hao.

"Okay, you come!" Wei Hao nodded, then began to fold the paper, and then said: "My handwriting is very poor, Your Majesty has scolded me many times, don't mind!" Wei Hao smiled Said.

"I don't mind, my father told me that you didn't study much before, you just got into a fight, but you have great skills, and I don't, so you can only rely on reading." Wei Yun said to Wei Hao shyly.

"Well, fighting every day at that time!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

After Wei Yun had polished his ink, Wei Hao began to write. After finishing writing, he made an envelope for Wei Yun and wrote on it: "Brother Wei Cong, Wei Haojing, the founding county of Pingyang!"

After finishing writing, fix it and hand it over to Wei Yun.

"Thank you, old Azu!" Wei Yun knelt there and kowtowed to Wei Hao.

"Hey, don't kowtow, this is the ancestral hall, it's not good for you to kowtow to me!" Wei Hao said quickly.

"It's okay, you have a high seniority. You should, and you can afford it!" Wei Yun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Well, take the exam well and strive to participate in the Chunwei. If you pass the Chunwei, you will be able to become an official!" Wei Hao said to Wei Yun.

"Thank you, old Azu!" Wei Yun said to Wei Hao again. Slowly, more and more people came to the ancestral hall, and they were all teenagers.

"Wei Hao, you're here too?" At this time, Wei Yuanzhao actually came in. When those young people saw Wei Yuanzhao, they immediately knelt down and saluted Wei Yuanzhao.

"Well, no, it's almost there?" Wei Yuanzhao waved at them, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It's almost there, about half a quarter of an hour." Wei Hao nodded and said.

"I'll go to my house for breakfast later, it's all ready for you." Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said.

"No need? I guess my father is waiting for me at home!" Wei Hao said with a slight refusal.

"It's okay, I sent someone to notify you, and tell your father that he will have dinner at my house in the morning." Wei Yuanzhao said with a smile.

When Wei Hao heard that he had said that, he could only nod his head. When the time was up, Wei Hao stood up, greeted those people, and then went to Wei Yuanzhao's residence.

"Come on, Hao'er, the white porridge and white noodles are all from your house. I usually don't want to eat them! This is pickled vegetables, and this is fresh spinach made by the old man." Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and explained with a smile .

"Well, patriarch, you eat too!" Wei Hao nodded.

"Wei Hao, when will the business you mentioned start? Don't talk about other people, just say that this old man wants to buy white noodles and white rice now. After eating this, the previous rice and white noodles can't be eaten at all. Go down!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It's not that fast. It's probably going to be the beginning of spring. Besides, this matter is a bit troublesome. I need to deal with it." Wei Hao said to Wei Yuanzhao.

"Trouble? What's the matter?" Wei Yuanzhao immediately asked after hearing this. He didn't want any major trouble.

"The king of Yue and the king of Shu also want to participate, but His Royal Highness does not want them to participate. I don't know how to deal with this matter for a while." Wei Hao said to Wei Yuanzhao.

"They also want to participate? Isn't it for the royal family? I think you can just talk to His Majesty about this matter." Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said.

"It's not that simple. To say that means to offend them. I still need to find a chance for this matter. Otherwise, it's not easy. I don't know what these princes mean. Let me think about it, really No way, I will divide the royal share into two, one is the royal internal funds, and the other is the royal princes of the royal family. This way, neither will offend, but His Majesty may not agree. He definitely hopes that the royal internal funds will control more and more. Good!" Wei Hao sat there, thought for a while and said.
