Chapter 269

Chapter 265

Chang Sun Chong felt very depressed. When he came back, he was scolded and kicked twice. He didn't understand what was going on at all.

After figuring it out, Chang Sun Chong was very helpless, who knew that the brick shop made money, and those who were beaten and scolded didn't dare to speak at all, there was nothing they could do, it was indeed a missed opportunity.

"I'm so mad, you don't go if someone takes you to make money, and you even say that you don't make money. If any of the things Wei Hao did was a loss, I don't have any brains. Besides, I lost hundreds of pennies." So what? If you lose money, next time there is a good chance, he will definitely ask you to go. You also know that none of the businesses that Wei Hao engages in makes a lot of money. Just one brick and tile earns a few dollars a year. Wanguanqian!" Changsun Wuji stared at Changsun Chong and cursed, but Changsun Chong stood there daring not to refute.

"Hey, I'm so mad!" Changsun Wuji sat there, panting.

I'm really angry, this is not a little money.

And it is the same in the mansions of other dukes, those people are being scolded.

Wei Hao didn't know this, but went to the Legislative Hall for lunch. Empress Changsun loved Wei Hao very much.

"The new mansion, I got the bricks. I heard from your father last time that you want to build a brick factory, have you done it?" Empress Changsun sat there, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It's done! Now that Qingzhu has come out, building the mansion, I will definitely not worry about the matter. I will leave all the affairs of the mansion to my brother-in-law. Anyway, they have nothing else to do now!" Wei Hao said to Empress Changsun said.

"Well, you didn't have any brothers in the first place, not even a cousin. It's not bad to have those brother-in-laws to help you now! It's good to get the bricks out!" Empress Changsun nodded with a smile.

"Now because of those bricks, it is estimated that many of the prince's children will be beaten. I heard that you called them?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao with a smile and asked.

"I asked Cheng Chusi to call them, hey, father, don't mention this matter, you will get angry if you mention it, you said I called them to build a brick workshop, but they didn't come, isn't this contemptuous of people? Solution, Cheng Chusi and the others have no money, so I have to lend them money!" Wei Hao immediately said to Li Shimin.

"What's going on?" Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and Wei Hao incomprehensibly.

"That brick workshop is very profitable. It is estimated that there is still [-] to [-] guan a year! So I called them to come together. The princes of the country had told me before that they wanted me to bring them to make money. I thought, this opportunity is not bad, so I called them to come together, but unexpectedly, they didn't come!" Wei Hao said to Empress Changsun with a smile.

"Oh, why don't they come if they can earn [-] to [-] yuan?" Empress Changsun also looked at Wei Hao in surprise and asked.

"Yeah, they don't believe me, hey!" Wei Hao nodded and said with a sigh.

"Well, next time they don't come, you come to the empress mother, and the empress mother will give you money. The empress mother knows what Hao'er is doing. If you are not sure, you will not do it!" Empress Changsun smiled at Wei Hao Said.

"Well, next time they don't come, I'll find you, queen mother!" Wei Hao also said with a smile.

"I've been busy with the brick workshop during this time, and I didn't know to go to the palace to see the queen mother and Lizhi. You two haven't seen each other for several days, right?" Empress Changsun looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, he's lazy, hiding at home and not coming out!" Li Lizhi immediately said with a chuckle.

"No way, I'm busy making iron and drawing blueprints every day. I really didn't slacken this time!" Wei Hao immediately emphasized.

"Well, I can testify that Shen Yong is indeed busy with the iron business." Li Shimin immediately said beside him, he saw Wei Hao's drawings.

"Oh, then take a break. Your father is also looking for you for everything. The queen mother also said about your father. However, your father said that there are some things that only you can do. Haoer, you Just work hard, if you are tired, just be lazy, don't listen to your father, how can you not rest!" The Queen Changsun heard it and said to Wei Hao immediately.

"Well, it's better to be the queen mother!" Wei Hao immediately nodded happily and said,

Li Shimin next to him was depressed, this bastard, he was not bad to him, he always said his mother was good.

"Are you going to go out on business in a few days?" Li Lizhi asked Wei Hao at this moment.

"That's right, it's not far away. It's just an hour's journey on horseback. I can come back at night if I want to!" Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi with a smile.

"Oh, then you have to pay attention to your safety!" Li Lizhi said worriedly. She was very worried when Wei Hao was assassinated before.

"Don't worry, girl, Father has mobilized an army of [-] to be by his side!" Li Shimin immediately said to Li Lizhi.

"Well, thank you, Father!" Li Lizhi heard it, and said happily to Li Shimin.

At noon, after Wei Hao had lunch here, he was going to go back directly, but thinking that he hadn't seen Li Yuan for a long time, he went to Da'an Palace to have a look.

"Well, you bastard, ah, tell yourself, how long has it been since you came here, and the land at home has been planted?" Li Yuan saw Wei Hao coming, and immediately stood up. He was basking in the sun in the yard just now, and he didn't People play mahjong with him.

"Huh? Why didn't you play mahjong?" Wei Hao saw it, looked at Li Yuan in surprise and asked.

"What kind of mahjong are you playing? Hey, those boys are busy now. I haven't played for several days. When you're done, it's fine. When you're done, play with me!" Li Yuan happily took Wei Hao's hand, letting Wei Hao sat down and said.

"I don't have time to play. Didn't you say that you need to get iron? I guess, this matter will not be completed in two months. I have to go out of the city to run errands. However, if you are bored, you can go with me." Go on an errand, anyway, you are bored in the palace, why not go get iron with me, so I can find someone to play cards with you!" Wei Hao said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan.

"Well, go, the old man will accompany you, this palace is boring!" Li Yuan didn't even think about it, so he wanted to go with Wei Hao.

"You have to tell your father about this, otherwise, you will be in trouble at that time, and your father thought I would do something to you." Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Success, remember to notify me when." Li Yuan nodded and said,
Wei Hao was thinking in his heart, if Li Yuan goes, why not bring 1 people there? In this case, who would dare to attack him, how courageous is he?
After chatting with Li Yuan for a while, Wei Hao went back. When he got home, Wei Hao continued to be busy with his own affairs. Wei Furong also knew that Wei Hao had been busy during this time, so he didn't come to Wei Hao. has been planted,

Wei Furong had nothing to do, so he sat in the carriage and went to inspect those farmlands to see how the seedlings were growing, whether they were short of fertilizer or sick. Wei Furong was very familiar with these.

In the evening, Wei Hao's eldest brother-in-law, You Cui, came in. After eating at the house, he didn't see Wei Hao, so he went to Wei Hao's small courtyard. Wei Hao was in the study, so he could only wait in the living room. caught.

"Brother-in-law, are you looking for me?" Wei Hao asked Cui Jin when he reached the living room.

"Well, that, little brother, I heard from my father that you are hiding in your small courtyard every day, and you don't know what you are busy with, so I came to see you!" Cui Jin stood up and said to Wei Hao.

"Hey, I'm busy with the iron business. It was decided last year. I'm going out in a few days. Are you going? It's usually paid for a month, and you don't need to work when you go there to manage people!" Wei Hao sat down. Come down, look at Cui Jin and ask.

"Go, but your second brother-in-law doesn't have time, and your fourth brother-in-law probably doesn't have time either. Now he has to focus on the matter of the brick workshop. Other brothers-in-law, they still have time, and they will go too. Anyway, there is nothing at home. Things!" Cui Jin nodded immediately after hearing what Wei Hao said, Wei Hao told them about this matter last time.

"Sure, let's go. Let me see if I can make you the managers over there. If you can be in charge there for a long time, the wages are probably not low, and you also eat royal meals!" Wei Hao turned to Cui. Jin said.

"If I have consistent money for a month, then why should I teach? Teaching doesn't cost that much money!" Cui Jin said with a smile. Teaching at most is 20 Wen a day, and 600 Wen a month.

"Well, okay! When the time comes, you can think about it yourself, first help you guys find a fixed thing!" Wei Hao said to Cui Jin.

"By the way, little brother, I have something to tell you. Wei Cong may be promoted to the Ministry of Rites. He seems to have served as an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs before. This time, didn't many officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs be arrested?

Now the Ministry of Civil Affairs has transferred officials from other departments, and the newly established Overwatch Council has also transferred many officials. It seems that Wei Cong found someone to do activities, so he transferred the Ministry of Rites. What my elder brother means is, I don’t know if I can take over Chang’an magistrate. "Cui Jin said embarrassedly to Wei Hao.

"Your elder brother has only been the county magistrate for a short time, so let's get to know the situation in Chang'an City first. It's not easy to be a county magistrate in Chang'an. Otherwise, Wei Cong wouldn't want to be promoted. It stands to reason that being a magistrate is no better than being a county magistrate at the same level. The officials are comfortable, but only the county magistrate of Chang'an is difficult,
You asked your elder brother to think clearly, whether to continue to be the county magistrate, and then have the opportunity to be transferred to other places to be the county magistrate, or to go directly to the six departments. This Chang'an county magistrate, I suggest your elder brother not to think about it, the foundation is not stable , plus your eldest brother just came up, he doesn't know many things about Chang'an City, so he wants to be the county magistrate, maybe, once he offends that powerful person, he will be taken down directly, it's better to be more cautious. "Wei Hao thought about it and said to Cui Jin.

"Hey, okay, listen to you, the main reason is that my sister-in-law kept talking about this in my ears, but my elder brother didn't say anything." Cui Jin nodded and said with a smile,

Wei Hao nodded when he heard it, and knew in his heart that without Cui Cheng beside him, could his sister-in-law say that?Cui Cheng still hopes to be promoted. However, being transferred from Luoyang to Chang'an City is already a promotion. How long has it been? He still wants to be promoted, and he is still the county magistrate of Chang'an City. How can it be so easy.

"Well, this matter, you go back and tell your elder brother the truth. I don't recommend serving as the county magistrate, at least it is not suitable for now. I suggest that he serve as the county magistrate of Chang'an City for more than two years. Now the matter of promotion, It's too early!" Wei Hao looked at Cui Jin and said, Cui Jin smiled and nodded,

Soon, Cui Jin left, the curfew was about to come, and he didn't dare to stay too late.And Wei Hao continued to be busy with those things,

The next day, Wei Hao sent a list of the supplies he needed, as well as the types of craftsmen he needed. After Li Shimin got the list, he immediately handed it over to Fang Xuanling.

At noon, Wei Hao was still drawing blueprints at home. At this time, someone from the porter came to report: "The house servant came to visit!"

As soon as Wei Hao heard this, he immediately went to the front yard. When he arrived at the front yard, Fang Xuanling had already entered. "I've seen Fang Fu shoot!" Wei Hao immediately said to Fang Xuanling.

"Well, the old man has something to do with you, didn't he bother you?" Fang Xuanling said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"No, this way please, let's go to my small courtyard!" Wei Hao smiled and made a gesture of invitation after cupping his hands at Fang Xuanling.

"Please!" Fang Xuanling also said to Wei Hao with a smile. Soon, Fang Xuanling and Wei Hao arrived at the living room of Wei Hao's courtyard, and the servants immediately brought His Highness and water.

"Fang Pushe, if you have anything to say, please speak up!" Wei Hao looked at Fang Xuanling and said.

"Shen Yong, the old man has something to ask for. Speaking of this matter, the old man also took the lead, and I hope you can agree!" Fang Xuanling said to Wei Hao, clasping his hands.

"Prayer? Fang Fushe, this is too serious, just order it!" Wei Hao also immediately bowed his hands and said in return, thinking in his heart, what is it that needs Fang Xuanling to come to the door in person.

"Shen Yong, this time you are making iron, you must need some assistants, including after you get it out, the old man reckons that you will not stay there for long, so there needs someone to manage it, and the old man wants to recommend it. My big brother, Fang Yizhi, will be your assistant, okay?" Fang Xuanling sat there, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Ah? This, Fang Fushe, it's useless for you to tell me about this matter, right?" Wei Hao was stunned when he heard it. Whoever will be his assistant is up to him?That's Li Shimin's final say, besides, just an assistant, Fang Xuanling came to say it in person?He can arrange it himself.

"Shen Yong, you may not have heard what the old man said just now. Have you been managing the iron workshop from now on?" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile.

"Oh, I understand, I understand!" Wei Hao only understood what was going on at this moment. He hoped that after he left, Fang Yi would be able to take over from him and manage the iron workshop. Then Wei Hao said a little bit incomprehensibly: "The house servant She, there is one thing that the juniors don't understand, that is, this iron workshop, the level is not high, but your Dalang is still short of such an opportunity?"

"You, you still don't understand the court affairs. You said before that your iron workshop can produce 200 million catties of iron a year, right?" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said,

Wei Hao nodded.

"The grade of such a workshop will not be lower than that of Cong Sipin, and the old man also knows that an iron workshop manages tens of thousands of people, which is almost equivalent to a county magistrate. My Dalang has not gone to the local government yet. After staying, if you go to the iron workshop this time, it is equivalent to going to the place to exercise,
If I can take over your position, the old man will not have to worry about the position from the fourth rank. In the future, he should go by himself. The key is that the old man will not expire you. If you really get it out, Then those who help you work are also rewarded, and they are considered meritorious deeds! "Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and said truthfully.

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine. As long as you can get it in, there's no problem on my side, so I won't take care of any iron workshop. I have a problem. I'll take care of such things!" Wei Hao laughed. He nodded and said, whoever cares has nothing to do with him, anyway, he just doesn't care.

"If there is no problem on your side, the old man will go and tell His Majesty, no matter what, the old man still needs to tell you if it is right? My Dalang will need to work with you in the future. If there is anything wrong, please let me know." Take it easy!" Fang Xuanling said to Wei Hao.

"Look at what you said! Don't worry, I will definitely not hit him!" Wei Hao said to Fang Xuanling with a smile,
Fang Xuanling laughed when he heard it, and then said: "My Dalang is relatively pedantic, but he has read a lot, so he knows that the words of the saints shall prevail. You still help Zhizhi, he, and he I haven't been to the place to experience it, so I don't understand it at all. It's not good to be an official and do things by relying on those who care about you. of!"

"Oh, Uncle Fang, don't worry, I won't hit him!" Wei Hao said quickly, Fang Xuanling stopped Wei Hao from continuing, and motioned him to listen to himself: "It's okay to hit, the old man said, the old man is I want him to stay by your side and change his bookishness, he is too bookish!"

"Success, you can rest assured!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Another thing, I want to remind you, I don't know how many people are thinking about that position. If you hand in the list today, everyone will know. You are going to start working on it.
The old man reckoned that in the afternoon, quite a few people went to His Majesty and said that they wanted to arrange people to come in. Those people, they all went for this credit, you just know it yourself! "Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao heard it, thought for a while and nodded.

"It's fine if you want to share some credit, but you can't let them delay you from doing things. I estimate that there will be no less than ten sons of the Dukes who went this time!" Fang Xuanling continued to say to Wei Hao.

"So much?" Wei Hao heard it, and looked at Fang Xuanling in shock.

"You are now a sweet potato. This iron is more important than salt. With iron, it is necessary to improve the military power of my Tang Dynasty. Now Turks, Tuyuhun, and Tubo are always eyeing you. Your Majesty also wants to deal with them, but the current strength is not enough, but if enough iron comes out, it will be different." Fang Xuanling explained to Wei Hao.
