Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 313

Chapter 309

Li Shimin wanted Wei Hao to persuade Li Tai, but Wei Hao didn't want to. He didn't have any cold feelings towards this Li Tai, and of course he didn't have any grudges. It's just that this kid likes to think he's smart, and Wei Hao doesn't want to play with him, it's boring.

"As a brother-in-law, you go to persuade him, and he will listen to you!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.

"You can pull it off, he won't listen to anyone now, let's talk about it in a few years, I know what people of this age think about things!" Wei Hao immediately waved his hands and said, he didn't want to go.

"You, okay, I'll tell you someday." Li Shimin said helplessly to Wei Hao.

Now it is more difficult than anything else to get Wei Hao to do some work. This kid is very wary of himself, not because of other things, but because he is lazy. This kid is very lazy and doesn't want to work.

"Father, is there anything else? If it's nothing, I'll go to the harem to see my mother, and then my aunt. In the morning, the patriarch also said that I didn't go to see her, and said that my nephew had a problem with her. The conscience of heaven and earth Ah, I'm just busy." Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, okay. Go, by the way, have you brought any wine?" After Li Shimin waved his hand, thinking of this matter, he asked Wei Hao.

"It's gone, I just sent it to the Lizheng Palace three days ago!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in shock and asked.

"It's not, well, many ministers came to beg for wine, you said that as the emperor, it is impossible not to give some?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Father, do you drink every day?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in surprise and asked.

"No, I'll give it to them. They couldn't buy it. They said they were treating me at home, so they came to ask for it!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"I, you, father, can we not bring this kind of food? I gave it to you to drink. If you don't drink it, you give it to someone else, and then you come to ask me for it. Three days ago, I just sent 50 catties over. , Now the brewing is not allowed, I have collected the wine and messed it up, hey, okay, I will send someone over tonight!" Wei Hao is very helpless, this father is unreliable.

"Hey, there's no other way. I also know that this Yuye wine is difficult, but it's delicious. Everyone likes this wine now!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao with a smile.

Wei Hao nodded and said goodbye to Li Shimin. Soon, he arrived at Lizheng Hall. After chatting with Empress Changsun for a while, Wei Hao went to Concubine Wei's palace. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, eunuchs came to inform him.

"Hey, my nephew is here, quickly, let him in!" Concubine Wei Gui was very happy when she heard that.

Originally, it was boring to be in the palace, and Wei Hao was indeed promising. He just didn't come here very much to save face for himself. Of course, he never missed his share of gifts during the festivals.

"I've seen my aunt!" Wei Hao said after arriving at the living room of Concubine Wei's palace, and immediately saluted Concubine Wei.

"Well, excuse me, you haven't come here for a while, but my aunt also knows that because you are busy, His Majesty has said several times that you will not go to the Ganlu Palace!" Concubine Wei smiled at Wei Hao Said, then asked Wei Hao to sit down at the tea table, and Concubine Wei made tea for Wei Hao herself.

"Yes, since the beginning of spring this year, I haven't been idle, and my father has been trying to trick me. If he wants me to do business, I won't do it!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"You, ordinary people want His Majesty to do errands for them, but there is no chance yet, only our family, Shenyong, has such ability. It's okay for my aunt to ask you to come over, just let you come and sit.

You also know that my aunt can't go out, so sometimes I miss my family, but it's not so easy for other people to come in, but you, Shenyong, can come in at any time, so aunt, I just want to be with you Let's talk, how about the family's affairs? Concubine Wei Gui smiled and said to Wei Hao.

"It's my nephew's fault, my nephew will definitely come here often in the future!" Wei Hao said to Concubine Wei with a smile when he heard it.

"Well, I want to come here often, how is the family situation now?" Concubine Wei Gui asked.

"It's okay, the patriarch is still at my house in the morning. Now the family's brick shop business has divided tens of thousands of money. The patriarch keeps [-]%, and the rest is distributed to the children who have become officials, and it is used to help the family. Those families with difficulties and the cultivation of family children to study." Wei Hao nodded and said.

"It's up to you, otherwise, they will be troublesome. Those ways of making money before are not a long-term solution. Only the business you entrusted to them is. Shenyong, now that the family is starting to decline, and you, it's time to reach out If you help the family, you can help, sometimes, the family is the family!" Concubine Wei Gui said to Wei Hao.

"Yes, my nephew knows. It's just that I'm busy now. There's nothing I can do. My house is too small. The new mansion will be built this year. The restaurant is also very small. Many customers line up, so we built the restaurant. There are so many things to do!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Well, that's okay, my aunt has heard about your mansion." Wei Guifei said with a smile, and then the aunt and nephew began to chat.

About half an hour later, Wei Hao also left. It’s not good for a long time. Although there are many court ladies and eunuchs here, Wei Hao still needs to avoid suspicion when it’s time to avoid suspicion. This is not the Lizheng Palace. Hao can stay overnight.

After Wei Hao left the palace, he went to his new mansion. It is still being decorated there, but it is almost done. Wei Furong sent many servants and maids to clean here. Some of the small courtyards that have been completed are now cleaned. clean.

The yards where Wei Furong lived, Wei Hao, Li Lizhi, and Li Siyuan lived were still being renovated, but a lot of furniture had already been put up.

"Here comes the little brother, little brother, in this weather, I guess it will rain in a few days, and it may even snow. The days are too warm these days, what can we do with these windows? If rain falls in, At that time, those furniture may be soaked and moldy!" Wang Qixian came over and said to Wei Hao.

"It's okay, aren't the window shelves being installed? How many days will it take?" Wei Hao asked.

"It can be completed in at most three days. The main reason is that there are too many. There are so many houses with windows like this. The carpenter has been busy for a long time." Wang Qixian said to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao heard it, nodded, and said: "That's okay, it will be installed by then, basically, after the windows are installed, it's almost done, and then all the rooms will be lit with charcoal fire, now It's too humid inside, so I can't live in it, and I didn't move in so quickly, some small details still need to be changed!"

"Well, aside from the windows, this mansion is really beautiful. Look, it's grand, and it stands tall and far away. It's just, eh, look at it, it's empty, look at it, it's not comfortable at all, and There are these, look, you have so much free time, hey, what will you do then?" Wang Qixian said to Wei Hao.

"Don't worry, our windows will definitely be the most beautiful in Chang'an City. It's okay, you will know in three days!" Wei Hao said to Wang Qixian with a smile.

As for the restaurant, it’s almost the same now. When everyone came to the restaurant and saw the houses, they were all very impressed, but when they saw the empty windows, they looked like a big hole, shook their heads and sighed, a good house, unexpectedly Build it like this.

Wei Hao doesn't care about that, he is finally free now, most of the things are done, and it's time for hibernation.

After returning to the gate of the mansion, he saw a lot of carriages being sent to the warehouse. Wei Hao saw that it was cotton, and now it was time to pick cotton.

"Have you started picking?" Wei Hao looked at the servant in surprise and asked.

"Returning to the son, yes, they are all being picked now. The ones the master ordered are ripe. The master said that it may rain or even snow in a few days, so let people pick them first!" the servant immediately said. With Wei Hao cupping his hands, he said.

"Okay, pick it up!" Wei Hao nodded.

When Wei Hao got up the next day, he thought that his father was going to repair the reservoir, but he needed to go and see it.

When I got to the living room, I asked my mother, my father had already gone out, and went to the reservoir construction site early in the morning.

Wei Hao heard it, and rode over there with his family soldiers. When he got there, he found that there were a lot of workers working on the side of the reservoir. Some planks had already been installed, and the steel bars had also been put down.

"Father!" Wei Hao rode to the side of Wei Furong, and got off his horse after shouting.

"You came at the right time, see if this works? You have to hurry up, it's better when it rains, but it's troublesome when it snows!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao, pointing to the places to be poured below.

"It won't snow, it's still early!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong.

"Why is it early? This year our side is dry, and the snow must be early. If it doesn't snow, it will be troublesome next year. So it is very likely to snow this time. It will be fine if it rains!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao.

"Not so fast?" Wei Hao said in surprise.

According to the lunar calendar, it is only the end of August now, so it will take a month or so before it snows.

"Let's see, I hope it won't be so soon, at least wait until we pile up!" Wei Furong nodded and said.

Then Wei Hao went down to look, and found that it was still done well, and it was done completely according to the drawings.

But now, many workers are already mixing cement and sand, ready to pour. Wei Hao stood there watching, and all the pouring was completed in one morning. Wait a few days, if the soil is piled up at that time, it is estimated that it will be faster, and the reservoir will be able to be piled up after half a month.

Wei Hao stared here all morning, felt that there was no problem, so he went back.

In the afternoon, Wei Hao didn't go out much.

Three days later, Wei Hao began to install glass on those windows. Once the glass was installed, the people in the entire Chang'an City were shocked. It was the first time they saw glass, especially on the restaurant side. A large number of people gathered outside to discuss with.

"What is this, so transparent, can it keep warm?"

"I don't know, I really want to go in and have a look!"

"When this restaurant opens, I have to go in and have a meal no matter what!" Many people gathered here to discuss, especially when they saw the huge French windows, they were even more shocked. Even the officials in the court were alarmed, and many people also We all saw this situation.

"Your Majesty, something happened in Chang'an today, and many people are watching!" Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin with a smile at the Ganlu Hall in the afternoon.

"Well, what happened?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling a little confused.

"Wei Hao's restaurants and mansions have installed windows. Before that, many people were wondering how the big windows made by Wei Hao would be closed. If they were not closed well, they would be cold to death in winter. But today, Wei Hao's windows are all closed, and all are transparent. It is very surprising that the outside can see the inside.

Now many people are watching over there. I wanted to go and see it, but I couldn't get in. Wei Hao's servants guarded the gate, and they didn't know what this transparent thing was. "Fang Xuanling sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Oh, there are new things again? How many new things did this kid use?" Li Shimin knew that Wei Hao must have used new things when he heard it.

"Yes, Wei Hao's talent, I really admire it!" Fang Xuanling nodded and said with emotion.

"If you have time, go to Wei Hao's new mansion. This kid doesn't care about anything in order to build this mansion!" Li Shimin sat there, thinking for a while and said.

There were too many rumors about Wei Hao's mansion, which made him very curious.

"I also want to go and have a look, but I can't get in!" Fang Xuanling nodded and said.

"By the way, there is something. Tell me, which yamen should Wei Hao go to next?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"Well, Your Majesty, have you convinced him?" Fang Xuanling asked tentatively after thinking for a while.

"No, let me ask what you mean first." Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, I haven't asked him. It seems useless to say this, right? Now that we have discussed it, if he doesn't go, you have nothing to do with him?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin with a wry smile and said, Li Shimin said yes.

"This bastard, it's really difficult to arrange. He doesn't want to take care of things at all. How can there be such a duke?" Li Shimin said with a sigh.

Fang Xuanling didn't say a word, if he was as rich as Wei Hao's family, he didn't want to work, who wouldn't want to be lazy?Isn't that not so much money?

"By the way, is there anything else?" Li Shimin then asked.

"Oh, by the way, there is another thing. Wei Hao's family seems to have built a large reservoir, and it is still building. It has been raining for the past few days! The reservoir is very large. I heard people say that it can manage all of Wei Hao's family. fertile land!" Fang Xuanling reported to Li Shimin again.

"Oh, it's fixed?" Li Shimin asked in surprise after hearing this.

"It's been repaired, and it will be repaired soon. Your Majesty, I appreciate Wei Hao's move very much. The water conservancy in our Tang Dynasty should be repaired. Every year, there is drought. Before the court had no money, there was no way. This year It is estimated that there will be a lot of savings!" Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin.

"Is there any balance?" Li Shimin asked in surprise when he heard it. There are a lot of things to do this year.

"Well, Your Majesty, isn't your internal money rich?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin carefully and said.

Li Shimin stared at Fang Xuanling.

"Your Majesty, you can do something with the money in the house. If you don't repair the water conservancy and there is another drought, you may be in trouble. What if there is a severe drought next year and the Weihe River stops flowing? Then the whole Northwest will be in trouble. !” Fang Xuanling then asked.

"You mean to ask me to take out the money from my internal funds?" Li Shimin said looking at Fang Xuanling.

"This is the best!" Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said.

"Well, it's too late this year. Let's see next year. It's going to be winter now. After a few rains, the weather is much cooler!"

Li Shimin did not directly veto it. There is indeed a lot of money in the internal funds. It is possible to use some of this money to improve water conservancy, but it is definitely not possible now.

"In addition, the Japanese sent envoys to the court. They have always admired the culture of our Tang Dynasty and wanted to send students to study in our Tang Dynasty." Fang Xuanling continued to report to Li Shimin.

"Let Honglu Temple receive the reception. The Wa country is still an uncivilized country. Learn from my Tang culture. Well, you go and discuss it!" Li Shimin nodded and said when he heard it.

"Yes, in addition, both Tubo and Turkic have sent envoys, and the Turkic side asked us to reopen the border market and allow them to trade at the border. Also, they asked us to support them with food, otherwise, they would send cavalry troops Kou Bian, although they didn't say it clearly, they have this intention." Fang Xuanling continued as he sat there.

"Wishful thinking, huh, opening a border market is fine, but if you want to support them with food, don't even think about it. A few years ago, I killed so many of our border residents. At that time, I couldn't spare them. Now they still want to attack, then Come and try, Datang's army is ready, if you want to fight, come and fight!" Li Shimin became furious when he heard this.

"However, in the court, there are still many people who agree to support. They think that the war should not be restarted! Last year, the pharmacist dealt with them once. Although they won the battle, the consumption was huge, and the national treasury was almost destroyed. It's empty, many people remember this matter now!" Fang Xuanling continued to clasp her hands.

"Don't even think about it, peace talks? It's impossible. I'm in a hurry. In the spring of next year, let the army go out again, and the Turks must be maimed!" Li Shimin said very angrily.

"In addition, Tuyuhun is also ready to move, and the frontier army needs to be prepared. Since last year, Turkic, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and many small countries around them have sold a large number of cattle, sheep and horses to my Tang Dynasty. I don't know what happened. Things, but this has also increased the instability of the border!" Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin.

"Hahaha!" Hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Shimin stroked his beard proudly and laughed.
