Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 257

Chapter 253

When Wei Hao arrived at the harem, he held Li Zhi in one hand and his son in the other. Sizi was still young, not yet a year old, but he had already started babbling.

"Si son, when you grow up, my brother-in-law will find you the most capable man. Don't count on your father, he is unreliable, really!" Wei Hao said to Si son.

Empress Changsun heard it and laughed.

"Brother-in-law, what is a gentleman?" Li Zhi looked up at Wei Hao and asked.

Li Zhi at this moment is only four or five years old, and he still doesn't understand anything.

"Don't worry about it, you are looking for a princess in the future. I can't help you with this. You have to rely on your father, your father can find you, but your father may not be reliable!" Wei Hao immediately turned to Li Zhi. Said.

"Father is very reliable! What does that mean?" Li Zhi heard it, looked up at Wei Hao and asked.

"Hey, being reliable means being reliable in doing things, are you reliable in doing things?" Wei Hao looked at Li Zhi and asked.

"Of course I can rely on it. The queen mother asked me to take care of my younger sister. I took good care of her!" Li Zhi said solemnly.

"Oh, that's fine, that's a man, keep working hard, here, here you go!" Wei Hao took out a piece of popcorn and gave it to Li Zhi.

"You slave, don't listen to his nonsense, why is the father unreliable?" Li Lizhi slapped Wei Hao with a suppressed smile, and then said to Li Zhi.

"Okay, Hao'er, don't say it in front of your father, or you will be angry again!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"If you are angry, you will be angry. How can this be the case? I helped him settle the matter. He was fine and let me go to jail. Hey, mother, if you say you go to jail, you will go to jail. I don't have any objections. I often go there. Yes, but he deducted my salary for one year, this is very depressing, my captain for this year was for nothing! Queen Mother, you said you fined me 50 pennies, I don’t feel bad, but my salary was deducted , I feel distressed!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said to Empress Changsun.

"Isn't that the same? Isn't it 50 guan?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and asked in confusion.

"Of course it's different. The fine is a one-time fine, and 50 guan is not much money, but have you considered it? When the other captains were receiving their salaries, I stood by and watched dryly. Do you know how I feel? ?

If someone asks now, Captain Wei, what about your salary for this quarter, what should I say?I said the penalty is over, is it a shame?In another season, when someone else receives the money, I still watch it. When someone asks about my salary, I say the fine is over. Where do you say my face should be put? Father can’t just say the fine, I will give the money Come here, instead of saying, fine salary? "

Sitting there, Wei Hao explained to Li Lizhi that he couldn't make Li Lizhi happy, and the empress Changsun couldn't laugh too well. According to what Wei Hao said, it's really, a little pitiful.

"That's right, you said that I vigorously promote what my father wants to do. It doesn't matter if I don't reward you. After all, I should do things for my father. If I fight with others, my father is not happy. I should go to jail." Yes, but this fine for my salary, I am really depressed!" Wei Hao said to Empress Changsun.

"Well, it's true, when your father comes over, I'll talk to him!" Empress Changsun nodded in agreement.

Of course she knew that Wei Hao was the first person who contributed to the establishment of the Overwatch Council this time, and he helped Li Shimin win another game. Logically speaking, he should be rewarded.

"Well, queen mother, you have to talk about him, it's outrageous! You're stingy!" Wei Hao nodded in agreement and said.

When Empress Changsun heard it, she became happy, and then chatted here, and when it was almost time for dinner, Li Shimin also came over.

"I have seen my father!" Wei Hao, Li Lizhi, and Li Zhi hurriedly saluted Li Shimin.

"Well, here we come!" Li Shimin said with a raised face.

"Well, here we come!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile and said.

"Okay, let's start serving the food!" Empress Changsun said with a smile, and then the maids and eunuchs brought the food, and Wei Hao still had his own soup to drink.

"Well, that's right, the chef's skills are getting better and better!" Wei Hao tasted those dishes, and they were indeed delicious.

"Well, eat more if you like, eat more now when you are still growing!" Queen Changsun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Well, thank you Queen Mother!" Wei Hao nodded and said, this Li Shimin was depressed, he just thanked Queen Mother for nothing, but he didn't know how to thank Father Emperor, Father Father treated you well.

"Ahem, Shenyong, the idea you gave Gao Ming is good, I am very satisfied, Gao Ming can do this, it is also a great help for him!" Li Shimin said while sitting there.

"Oh, it's okay. In fact, there are still many things that can be done. It's just that His Highness has no money and is too poor. He only has tens of thousands of coins. What can he accomplish? However, it is not bad to accumulate more!" Wei Hao pointed nodded and said.

"What is Gao Ming going to do?" Empress Changsun asked.

"Building the road, I guess he got a sum of money recently. The East Palace has a lot of money, so he wants to do something. He wants to build the road, the road from Chang'an to Luoyang. This is a good thing, and I agree!" Li Shimin said with a smile to Empress Changsun.

"That's really a good thing!" Queen Changsun nodded happily when she heard that.

"Although this money is not taken from the people, it is still good to use it for the people. After the road is built, it will still be of great help to the circulation of goods in the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, it will also increase the tax revenue of the court. Indeed It's a good thing, and the repair of the road will also increase the popularity of Luoyang, I heard that there are not many people in Luoyang, and it is very dilapidated!" Wei Hao sat there, looking at Li Shimin and asked.

"Well, it has been in disrepair for a long time, and the court has no money, so Luoyang is indeed a bit broken!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"The road has been repaired, and it is estimated that Luoyang will develop soon!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

Li Shimin heard it, and looked at Wei Hao in surprise, wanting to hear why Wei Hao made such a judgment.

"Father, the materials from Chang'an to the southeast and the northeast are all scattered. After all, the roads in various places are similar. It is even said that the materials going to the northeast will not go to Luoyang. If they start from the north of Chang'an, if it is repaired Yes, I believe that most people will choose to go to Luoyang, so that those businessmen will stay in Luoyang.
That is a great thing for Luoyang. The merchants have to eat and live, and hire people to work. These can greatly increase Luoyang's income. There are more people in need and more income. Luoyang The number of people in the city will also increase, which will make Luoyang City more prosperous. "Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"Well, indeed, but Gao Ming's money is not enough!" Li Shimin nodded, knowing that this matter is very important, but Li Chengqian's money is not enough.

"It doesn't matter. If the income from the internal funds is not bad this year, you can support some. Now there are 80 million cash in the domestic funds, of which about 30 were handed over by those aristocratic families. In addition, the porcelain workshops are now And the paper workshop, the monthly income is enough to cover the expenditure of the entire internal funds, and there is still a surplus.

Moreover, His Majesty still has money to send over, and the court will also send money according to the usual practice. The concubine estimates that this year's balance may be a million yuan. Since road construction is so important, let Gao Ming do it first. The concubine will support him a little more! "Empress Changsun said.

She spared no effort to support Li Chengqian, she just hoped that he could stabilize the position of crown prince. It's not that no one is staring at this position now, it's just that those princes are still young, and the second is that they are still queens. Dare to move, but there are some things, who can say well, so Empress Changsun is now paving the way for Li Chengqian.

"You are not allowed to give him money directly, let him borrow it, you can lend it to him, you need to issue an IOU, the inner money is the money of the entire royal family, you can't give him all the money!" Li Shimin sat there, thought for a while and said.

"Borrow? Then how can he pay it back?" Queen Changsun asked in surprise when she heard it.

"He can still afford it. Otherwise, it may not be a good thing for him to have so much money at that time. Money still needs to be spent to be useful!" Li Shimin said.

Wei Hao heard it, curled his lips.

"You son of a bitch, just speak up if you have something to say!" Seeing Wei Hao like this, Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said dissatisfiedly.

"My son borrowed money from me, and I still need to pay it back. Anyway, I won't pay it back!" Wei Hao said contemptuously while sitting there.

"Your father is only your son, and everything he owns belongs to you. I have so many sons, and I have babies in swaddling clothes. I have to support the whole royal family with all the money. If Gao Ming spends all the money, The royal children will have opinions on Gao Ming!" Li Shimin explained to Wei Hao.

"I know, just saying, what you said just now, having too much money, is not a good thing for His Royal Highness, and I don't understand why it is not a good thing. If he doesn't learn how to control money, how will he manage it well in the future? The money in the world, now that he has the opportunity to let him practice, you still deliberately set up obstacles?
It stands to reason, father, you should encourage him now, how to spend money, such as building roads, such as building bridges, such as running education, such as running medical care, etc., as long as it is for the common people, let your highness go Do it, let His Highness know that the people are still very poor. In order to let the people live a prosperous life, as His Highness the Crown Prince, he needs to do something! "Wei Hao also started arguing with Li Shimin, this time Li Shimin didn't speak, but considered Wei Hao's words.

"A prince, if he can't even control this little money, what else can he control? Is such a prince, father, what you need?" Wei Hao continued to stimulate Li Shimin.

On the other hand, Empress Changsun was very satisfied with what Wei Hao said.

"Well, yes, it's okay to support him, but if he doesn't come to you to ask for it, you can't take the initiative to give it to him. Sometimes, you still need to rely on him!" Li Shimin nodded at this moment, as if he had thought it through clearly, and pointed at him. Empress Changsun spoke up.

"Well, the concubine knows, but Gao Ming's recent performance is still good, and he knows that he has considered the common people!" Empress Changsun said with a smile.

"Well, that's really good!" Li Shimin was also very satisfied, while Wei Hao continued to eat. Originally, he couldn't eat or sleep, so Li Shimin insisted on talking to himself.

After dinner, Wei Hao originally wanted to go to Da'an Palace, but was stopped by Li Shimin and asked Wei Hao to accompany him for a walk. It just snowed two days ago, and the imperial garden was covered by snow. However, Now the weather is not so cold, it is already the beginning of spring, and the weather is starting to get warmer, especially when the sun is still at noon.

"Father, you are still going to the Imperial Garden just this day, aren't you cold?" Wei Hao followed Li Shimin depressedly.

"You are a strong boy, you are still afraid of the cold, are you ashamed?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and said with contempt.

"Who is idle and has nothing to do? There is a stove in the house, so you go outside to suffer from the cold, isn't it self-torture?" Wei Hao continued to complain from behind.

Li Shimin didn't want to continue this topic now, if he was allowed to continue talking, it would take a long time to talk.

"Gao Ming, you did a good job. You want him to understand the lives of the people and do more practical things for the people!" Li Shimin walked in front, and Wei Hao followed.

"Then why don't you let him go to the folks more? He is locked up in the East Palace every day. What he can know, what he knows, is told to him by others!" Wei Hao continued behind, he didn't say what he said later, he knew Li Shimin understands that when words are spread by people, they carry personal subjective wishes.

"Well, he is the prince, he has a lot to learn, how can he have so much time to go out and walk around, and every time he goes out, he will mobilize the teachers and mobilize the crowd, and he may not be able to see the real situation. The people below, whether you report good news or not, you are still the same. I don't know." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"What's the matter, go out often, don't follow the route arranged by those officials, and you can still see some real things. If the people around Chang'an City are not doing well, then the people in other places must be It's even more bitter." Wei Hao said from behind.

Li Shimin nodded, and then said: "Why don't you go to the East Palace to work?" Wei Hao stopped when he heard it, and looked at Li Shimin's back. Li Shimin didn't hear the footsteps behind him, so he turned around.

"Why, don't you want to go?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I knew you didn't count your words. It's only been a month, and you regretted it. How can you be like this? You are the emperor, and you can't count your words. People say that a gentleman's words are hard to follow." Chase, you don’t need to chase!” Wei Hao immediately complained loudly, and Li Shimin stared at him with a dark face.

"Father, don't look at me like that. You don't mean anything. I'm going to the East Palace? I'm not going. I'm not going anywhere. I want to build my Duke's Mansion. You have been to my house, you said , Am I embarrassed to ask someone to come to my house now? It’s so small, I don’t have a place to arrange it when there are too many people. I originally wanted to treat the Duke of Feng this time, but I figured it out, good guy, if I treat guests, my house doesn’t have such a big place Arrangement, father, we agreed a year ago, but I won't do other things this year!" Wei Hao continued to say to Li Shimin, he didn't care if Li Shimin was dark-faced or not.

"Why is it so difficult to ask you to do some work? Huh? Go to the East Palace and assist Gao Ming, isn't it good?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and blamed him.

"No, as long as I'm asked to work, it's not good, I won't go!" Wei Hao nodded with certainty and said that he would not go.

"You, hey! Okay, boy, can you go next year?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.

"I will talk about next year's things next year. What's the use of what I say now. I don't know if there will be other things next year. Father, please let me calm down. I haven't rested for a long time. Moreover, this year my family There are so many places, if my father is alone, he will be exhausted. When my father is tired, he will vent his anger on me and beat me with a stick. I'd better go home and help manage it. Otherwise, I will You will really be beaten!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin pitifully as he spoke.

"Are you so afraid of your father?" Li Shimin thought of this and asked with a smile.

"Who isn't afraid, aren't you? When the Supreme Emperor hits you with a stick, don't run away!" Wei Hao said with a rolled eye.

"Get lost!" Li Shimin yelled at Wei Hao, lifting whichever pot was left unopened.

"Hey, good!" Wei Hao immediately turned around and was about to run, wishing he could.

"Come back, boy, did you do it on purpose?" Li Shimin was so angry that he said to get out, and he really ran away.

"You said it yourself, I knew you were the kind who didn't mean anything!" Wei Hao still complained.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the matter of the library. This matter is related to the future of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is handed over to the Supreme Emperor to manage, I hope you will contribute, because you understand, I hope you will work hard. , You are lazy in other places, it’s okay, the emperor also knows that you are lazy, but you can’t be lazy in teaching and educating people, it will delay other people’s lives!” Li Shimin said while walking with his hands behind his back.

"Well, I know, in fact, I'm not interested in this. It's not so much that I don't agree with this kind of education. I just know that reading the words of the saints. I'm not saying that the words of the saints are wrong. They must be right. But you can't just learn this.

Can anyone tell me why there is thunder in the sky, why you see the lightning before you hear the thunder, why there are four seasons in a year, why it snows, why the sun only comes out from the east and not from the west!Why is no one researching these things?Do you know how to study those sage words? "

Wei Hao stood there and asked Li Shimin, who was stunned by Li Shimin's question, wondering what the problem was?
"You, you, why do you have so many questions, since you want to know those questions, you should read a book!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Read the book, is it in the book? Don't lie to me, father, tell me, which book is there? Still read the book? There is no book at all!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin with contempt and said.

"It must be in the book!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said with certainty.

"Then let's make a bet!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin unconvinced.
