Chapter 311 The Awakening of the Family

Chapter 307

Eunuch Hong came to remind Wei Hao, and Wei Hao understood immediately. He didn't know what they were doing here before, but now that he knew, Wei Hao naturally had considerations in his heart.

After practicing martial arts, Wei Hao sat in his small courtyard drinking tea. Now the weather is a bit cold in the morning and evening, but it is still very hot during the day.

"Young master, the patriarch and the patriarchs of several other families are here." The porter ran over and said to Wei Hao.

"Please come here, I don't want to move!" Wei Hao said while sitting there.

I am the Duke of the state. Although I want to greet him as a junior, I don’t have to. My identity is here. In addition, Wei Hao estimates that Li Shimin must have sent someone to watch this place. The attitude that should be done still needs to be shown. of.

Soon, Wei Yuanzhao and the others came over, and 4 patriarchs came, Wei Yuanzhao, Du Ruqing, Cui Xian and Lu Zhenshan.

"Welcome if you are far away, please sit down!" Wei Hao stood up with a smile and greeted them.

"I know you're busy, so I'm sorry to delay you for a long time!" Cui Xian said to Wei Hao.

"It's okay, come on, sit down and talk!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile.

They sat down and Wei Hao made tea for them.

"I don't know if you came to see me. What's the matter?" Wei Hao asked after making tea for them.

"Good thing, I heard that in the entire Tang Dynasty, only your family has this kind of tea, and the profit is very high!" Cui Xian said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"I don't know, I haven't sold much!" Wei Hao said shaking his head.

"You don't sell it, your father sells it a lot!" Wei Yuanzhao said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Ah, my dad sold tea leaves?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao in surprise.

"Well, many people bought from your father, even the old man bought some!" Wei Yuanzhao said with a smile, stroking his beard.

Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao dumbfounded.

I really didn't expect that my father actually sold his own tea, but now that I think about it, it seems that he asked himself, saying that there are too many in the house, can he sell some, Wei Hao waved his hand and said whatever, and he really sold it up.

"Okay, let's sell it. Anyway, he has the final say. If he is in a bad mood, he may even sell me a piece!" Wei Hao said with a smile and shook his head.

"Well, Wei Hao, a few of us are here this time, one is to come and walk around, thank you for giving us the brick shop business, this business is very good, we got a lot of money, and the other one is, wondering if there are other You can do business, your mansion, now there are a lot of people watching, not only our family is watching, but many state officials are also watching, thinking about when you will release those things!" Cui Xian smiled Watching Wei Hao speak.

"Business? My mansion?" Wei Hao pretended to be confused and looked at Cui Xian.

"You don't know it yourself? It stands to reason that you should understand the value of those things." Cui Xian asked Wei Hao back.

"Oh, you said cement and lime?" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"There are also glazed tiles. This is the big head. Those glazed tiles are very beautiful. No one doesn't like them. Your house can be seen in the entire East City. Who doesn't like those colorful glazed tiles on your roof?" Du Ruqing looked at with a smile Followed by Wei Hao and said.

"About business? Well, it's useless to talk to me. You should know that His Majesty will not let you master so much wealth easily. I promised you, but I can't count it.

Besides, I'm really busy here.I don’t have time to deal with those things now. My mansion must be completed before winter. Now there is no problem on the outside. However, the interior decoration still needs about half a month, so it is useless for you to come to me now of! " Wei Hao looked at them with a smile and said.

Cui Xian and the others nodded. They also knew that Wei Hao was very busy now, and they also knew that Li Shimin would not let them control the wealth easily, but they came here this time with preparation.

"Shen Yong, we may need to delay you a little bit more today. I want to have a good chat with you. Let's take care of lunch?" Cui Xian said, stroking his beard.

Wei Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and asked, how could he not care about food in his own family.

"That's what I said, when you come, my house can miss you a meal, okay, tell me!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile and said.

"This time we really surrendered. Yesterday, we went to the school and the library, especially the library. We saw so many students reading and copying books in the library. I know that the general trend cannot be changed by humans, so , this time we lost, and we were convinced.

It would be too hypocritical to say that we don't have the heart to resist. Yes, but now that we have seen this, all resistance is useless. We can't say that we have caused chaos in the world again. Now, we just want to make the family prosper.

What do you mean, as long as there are [-]% of the children of our family in the court, it is enough, and we will give up the rest, and [-]% of the children can also ensure that the family will not be annexed. In addition, we also want to be with After the royal reconciliation, the royal family and the aristocratic family can intermarry in the future. At the same time, the royal family can take a stake in the business of the aristocratic family. That is to say, we give up resistance! " Cui Xian sat there, looked at Wei Hao and said.

Wei Hao looked at him in shock. Wei Hao was surprised by this topic. Did they surrender?
"This?" Wei Hao couldn't believe what he heard was true at the moment, they actually surrendered?Who can believe it?The heritage of the family is still there!

"Of course, it doesn't start all, just take it slowly. We will also go to see His Majesty in the next two days to discuss this matter with His Majesty. I think His Majesty is also happy to see us like this!" Du Ruqing said again.

"Well, if this is the case, this, what do you want me to say? I am also a member of the Wei family, but wait a minute!" Wei Hao felt his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know whether what they said was true or false, After all, the news came so suddenly, and it was such a big deal.

"Ha, I know it's hard for you to understand, Shen Yong. In fact, we really lost. As soon as the paper comes out, we lose. You said before that the trend of the times and no one can change it. There will be more and more scholars. This is for sure.

The few of us sat together and discussed many times, how to preserve the strength and honor of our aristocratic family, or even prosperity, we can only rely on His Majesty and admit defeat to His Majesty, but we can't admit defeat immediately, things must be done step by step Do it, now we have this idea! "Wei Yuanzhao sat there looking at Wei Hao and said.

"Well, I really don't know how to say what you are talking about. I am also a child of the Wei family. Of course, if you have such thoughts, I don't know if it is a good thing, but I believe that for the world It’s a good thing for those students!” Wei Hao said to them with a wry smile, then gestured to them to invite them to drink tea, and took a cup of tea himself.

They raised their teacups to drink, and Wei Hao refilled them.

"The news came so suddenly. I wasn't prepared at all. Didn't I talk about business? Why did we get to this point?" Wei Hao looked at them with a smile and asked.

"There is no way, you stand on His Majesty's side. Now His Majesty controls the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the rest of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment. Among them, the right to speak is getting less and less. His Majesty is obviously purging the children of our family. He just said that the action is not so violent, so that everyone's resistance is not so fierce.

You see, now, the Ministry of Industry does not use people from our family to build roads. There are none in the school and library, nor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, let alone the Ministry of War. Among the six departments, three do not have people from our family. Ten years later, among the six parts, the children of our aristocratic family can only be in the most marginal position, Shen Yong, His Majesty has always wanted to get rid of us, we know it! " Cui Xian sat there, looked at Wei Hao and said.

Wei Hao nodded when he heard it. Everyone knows this, but he won't say it publicly.

"Your patriarch regretted it very much. He said that he didn't value you at the beginning. If he had paid attention to you, maybe it wouldn't be like this. But we can't blame your patriarch for this matter. You were an ordinary child in the family before. Who would have thought that you could Come out so fast?

Don't say they didn't think of it, but we didn't think of it, so, Shen Yong, we will compromise, but His Majesty also needs to give us some benefits. This time we want to talk about this intermarriage. There are two things to do, among them One thing is, among the crown prince's concubines, three need to be selected from our aristocratic family to fill the East Palace, and you also need to marry a flat wife.

In addition, Li Tai's concubine must be a woman from our family, and other princes must also marry women from our family. Also, the princesses of Your Majesty need to marry one from each family. We are talking about marriage, not Princess Shang , this makes intermarriage reasonable! " Cui Xian said to Wei Hao.

"What the hell, you guys are talking about you, why did you bring me? No kidding, I don't want it, I have two daughters-in-law, I can't have a third one!" Wei Hao immediately yelled at Cui Xian stand up.

"That won't work. Who doesn't know that you are the most important person of His Majesty. There are rumors among the people that you are His Majesty's favorite son-in-law. Moreover, we know your skills. If you don't marry a woman from our family, it is No, in the future, we will rely on you to lead us to make money!" Cui Xian said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Don't lie to me, go talk to His Majesty, what are you kidding if His Majesty can kick you out?" Wei Hao shouted at them.

"No, this is just a negotiation. We are willing to give up so many officials. In addition, there is another condition of the negotiation, that is, you can show your printing skills. This will show our sincerity. The things in your box , how powerful you are, if you release this, His Majesty can promise us anything, do you believe it?" Cui Xian continued to smile at Wei Hao.

"Wei Hao, when the time comes, you are going to marry my granddaughter, the eldest granddaughter! You can inquire, you can also ask your patriarch, or even Li Siyuan, they all play together and get along very well. My granddaughter is the elder You are as beautiful as a fairy, but you can't wrong Xia Guogong!" Lu Zhenshan looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile.

"Come on, what are you doing, let me tell you, don't worry about me, what the hell, can you arrange my marriage? What are you kidding, you have to talk about it yourself, don't bring me along, Take me, don't think about any business in the future!" Wei Hao immediately waved at them and said.

"No, you said it yourself, your family has been passed down for five generations, so you don't need more women to keep the family alive?" Wei Yuanzhao said while looking at Wei Hao with a smile.

"Are you kidding? My father promised me to marry 8 maids, and my father-in-law also promised me to marry 8 girls. This adds up to 18 girls. My father only has 5 girls. I have a son, I don’t believe it, I have [-] women, and I can’t give birth to a son, don’t give me those useless things, if you want to talk, just talk about your affairs, on my side, absolutely not !” Wei Hao immediately waved his hand and said.

Are you kidding me? You even arranged women for yourself. Don't you think the house is not messy enough?

"If you don't marry a woman from our family, we don't worry about it!" Cui Xian said, looking at Wei Hao with a smile.

"Damn it, you rely on a woman to maintain your own safety. Is it realistic? It's better to make some useful things. In fact, you only account for [-]% of the officials, so you won't suffer.

According to what I know, the population of our Tang Dynasty is increasing very fast. The farmers in our family now have five or six children in each family, and they are still giving birth. At this rate, two generations will turn over 10 times up.

The population counted during the Takede period seems to be 1600 million, 300 million households. Now I estimate that the population has exceeded 3000 million. From the Takede period to the present, let’s count it as ten years. Do the calculations yourself, from the people around you Forget it, who’s family has increased their population a lot? My sister’s family basically has two children now, and even three children are ready to give birth!

As the population increases, more officials will be needed. In Chang'an County, the population has increased by a large amount. From last year to now, it seems to have increased by almost 20. Not counting your newborn population. If you count, It is estimated that there are 50. Chang'an County definitely needs to continue to improve its grade, and even divide it into districts. Otherwise, there is only one Chang'an county magistrate and county magistrate, I guess I can't manage it! "Wei Hao sat there and said to them.

"Yes, there are 3000 million people, maybe more, it should be more!" Cui Xian said while sitting there.

"More than that, in the past ten years, the population of our family has tripled, and all of them are new-born children!" Lu Zhenshan said.

"Yes, our family is similar, and when you get married, think about it, your boy has eighteen women, this will increase several times in three to five years!" Wei Yuanzhao nodded and said to Wei Hao .

"So, give up the official position, hide behind, control the wealth, and those wealth need to be kept in a secret place, which can also ensure the prosperity of the family. If you want to control the court, it will be enough, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness, definitely I won't allow you to do this!" Wei Hao said as he sat there.

"Well, hide the wealth!" A few of them heard it and nodded.

But they have other ideas. Wei Hao hasn't heard what they said just now. That is Li Tai's concubine, who needs to marry a woman from their family. Wei Hao just ignored this. The purpose of their coming is actually this.

"As for the business, if you can convince His Majesty, I don't care. Of course, our Wei family must take advantage of it. I am a child of the Wei family. I am busy with rice and white noodles. If you want to do it, I am sure. It will attract our Wei family, but I don't know if you can buy shares!" Wei Hao said while sitting there, looking at them.

They nodded, and Wei Yuanzhao was very happy in his heart.

"We are definitely going to convince His Majesty, but the premise is that you agree. Now that you have agreed, we can rest assured. We will talk to Your Majesty!" Cui Xian also said very happily.

He was worried that Wei Hao would not take them to play.

"To make it clear, if you really surrender, I will release the printing technique. At that time, I can take you as a shareholder. I believe His Majesty will agree, but you have no management rights. Printing is very special!" Wei Hao faced them Talked up.

"Why is that?" Cui Xian looked at Wei Hao in a puzzled manner, without management rights.

"You also know that printing can not only print books, but also print other things. Can His Majesty hand over this thing to other people?" Wei Hao looked at them and asked.

They heard it and nodded. When Wei Hao said this, they knew what it meant.

Then Wei Hao and the others continued to chat.

On Li Shimin's side, Li Shimin received the news that those people had gone to Wei Hao's house very early, and they hadn't come out for more than an hour, and they heard that they would have dinner at Wei Hao's house. I can't help being a little worried, wondering if Wei Hao can withstand it.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to Wei Hao's mansion?" Eunuch Hong stood there with his head lowered and said, also trying to test Li Shimin's trust in Wei Hao.

"Send someone? Who to send?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, looking at Eunuch Hong and asked.

"This little one doesn't know. What if Wei Hao gets too close to the family?" Eunuch Hong said deliberately.

"It's okay, he won't, I just don't understand, what's the matter that needs to be discussed for so long? Business needs to be discussed for so long? Chat, this bastard never chats with me, what do you want to talk to them?" Li Shimin sat there , said very puzzled.

"Well, Your Majesty, just send someone to investigate!" Eunuch Hong still said.

"No, this kid probably will come over this afternoon." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, still believing in Wei Hao in his heart.
