Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 314

Chapter 310

As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Li Shimin immediately burst out laughing triumphantly, Fang Xuanling didn't know what he was laughing at.

"This matter is all due to Wei Hao. You see, within five years, Tubo, Turkic, Tuyuhun and the surrounding countries will all be weakened. I didn't believe what Wei Hao said before. Starting from the first half of the year, After the effect is shown, I know that Wei Hao is right, within five years, we will sweep the surrounding countries!" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling very proudly.

"Here, Wei Hao's plan, what plan?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin in surprise and said.

"We can't say yet, this matter, I and Wei Hao know about it, and a few others know about it, but they don't know much! If they dare to invade the border, they should fight back. This year, people in our border areas The troops have all changed their outfits, if they dare to come, I don't mind letting them know how powerful Datang is now." Sitting there, Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is not a big problem for the troops on the frontier to deal with them now. It is just that the ministers in the court may not agree to restart the war. This needs to be balanced by your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling reminded them.

"Well, let them talk about it, and you can discuss it too." Li Shimin nodded, looked at Fang Xuanling and said.

"However, although my Tang Dynasty's grain output this year is a little bit more, it is just right. There is no surplus grain to support the Turks. If it is given to the Turks, the people of our dynasty will starve!" Fang Xuanling continued to remind Li Shimin said.

"Let those ministers know!" Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling,
Fang Xuanling nodded, expressing that he understood.
Soon Fang Xuanling left, and Li Shimin walked in the study with his hands behind his back, thinking about the border issues. If the Turkic and Tuyuhun invaded the border on a large scale this year, it would also be a huge pressure for the Tang army. Those ministers in the hall objected, and I can understand it.

Li Jing just finished fighting the Turks last year. Although the results were many, the Tang Dynasty also suffered a lot of losses. If it still comes, many ministers will indeed object, but the opposition is still to be fought!
But at this moment, at Wei Hao's mansion, Wei Hao was instructing the workers to install the windows. Wei Furong was not there, and he went to fix the reservoir.

"Brother, this glass is really, really good. Look at it, you can see the outside clearly, and the outside wind can't get in. It's amazing!" Wang Qixian stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window near the north, feeling emotional He said to Wei Hao, the north wind was blowing outside, but he couldn't feel any wind inside.

"Well, let's go and drink tea in the conservatory below. I'll leave it to them to make it here. I think it can be done today, right?" Wei Hao nodded and said to Wang Qixian.

"It can be done. Now people outside are very curious about what this thing is, especially at the restaurant. There are many people around outside, and many officials want to go in to see it, but because you don't let it, the people below dare not let them in.

"Now the interior is decorated, and it's still being cleaned. It's been raining for the past few days. They stepped in and it's dirty. Why bother?" Wei Hao said as he walked downstairs,
Then came the conservatory connected to the study room. The east, south and west sides of the conservatory are surrounded by glass. The area is not small, about 30 square meters, and there are mahogany chairs, tea sets, and Stove, all done.

"Come on, drink tea. The temperature has dropped a lot in the past few days. Fortunately, it hasn't snowed. If it snows, it will be troublesome. But next time, it will definitely be snow!" Wei Hao sat down and said to Wang Qixian.

"Well, it must be, but this mansion, after installing these glass, is really beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful mansion. But, when do you plan to move here?" Wang Qixian asked Wei Hao up.

"Wait for a month. Don't worry. Let's see what is still missing. I will leave it to my mother and my aunts. They know what to buy. When they are ready, they can move here!" Wei Hao After thinking about it, he said to Wang Qixian,
Then Wei Hao and Wang Qixian just sat here and chatted. It was not until evening that Wei Hao went back, and the glass here was also installed, and the restaurant was also installed, and things were almost busy. Some finishing work needs to be done. However, Wei Hao has not yet decided on the date for the opening of the new restaurant.
In addition, Wei Hao also intends to recruit some waitresses, who are dedicated to welcome and serve food. However, women are not easy to invite, and many girls from other families will not come out to work. If you want to invite such women, Can only go to the workshop,

The so-called Jiaofang is the place where music is taught in the palace. The source of the women in it is very sad. Either they were captured, or the officials were convicted. Their wives and daughters were filled into the Jiaofang.

And when they enter the Jiaofang, life is worse than death. Don’t think about having a chance to stand up in your life. It’s still good to learn musical instruments. Many people like to go to Jiaofang to buy girls, and even many painting boats and brothels will also go to Jiaofang. Buy women, those women have a miserable fate.

"You said Wei Hao, Wei Hanzi, don't you owe it to me to clean up, and dare to go to Jiaofang to buy a girl?" Li Lizhi asked Wei Hao with widened eyes after hearing Wei Hao's words.

"No, I bought them and put them in restaurants, can you stop thinking about them?" Wei Hao said to Wei Hao helplessly.

"You run a restaurant, not a brothel, why did you buy them?" Li Lizhi continued to stare at Wei Hao and asked.

"Entertainment, for welcoming guests, think about it, now we are here, they are all servants, doing things carelessly, they must not be as careful as those women, right? If it is replaced by women, they can still wipe the table. It can also guide those guests to the restaurant, tell me, wouldn't it be much more convenient?" Wei Hao continued to explain to Li Lizhi.

"Sidiot, are you confused? The daughters of those criminal officials are basically vengeful. If they entertain here, you are not afraid of them assassinating those officials? Sidiot, can you do things with your head? " Li Li asked Wei Hao, pointing at Wei Hao.

"Ah?" Wei Hao was stunned when he heard this.

"You want women to work, but it's not that you can't buy them. Just go and buy some, there are places to sell them!" Li Lizhi said, rolling her eyes at Wei Hao.

"Ah, I can still buy it, then, okay, I can also buy it!" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi helplessly and said, Wei Hao actually knew that there was one to buy, but those women in Jiaofang have studied music Well, the temperament must be extraordinary, so it is comfortable to look at, and the girls who bought them are all from poor families, so the temperament may be worse.

"You don't want to buy it?" Li Lizhi stared at Wei Hao and asked, she knew it from Wei Hao's expression.

"No, I bought it. It looks like an ordinary girl with no temperament. We are a high-end restaurant, temperament, you need temperament, do you understand?" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi and said.

"But if you use the women from Jiaofang, you will be in danger, do you know? You are a restaurant here, but, um, if you want to investigate carefully, you can still choose some, some are Le Ji, and they are prisoners of war. Descendants, these people are safe, but if they are descendants of officials, they are not safe, but many of the offspring of officials are sold to brothels, and few stay in Jiaofang!" Li Lizhi said as she sat there.

"Then why don't you pick more than a dozen? Why don't they just let them welcome the guests, and then take the guests to the box and serve the dishes? There are not so many things to do every day." Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi Said.

"Okay, choose more than ten, right? Then I need to investigate them. I'll ask the people in Jiaofang to show them their information." Li Lizhi thought about it, and said to Wei Hao .

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" Wei Hao also laughed when he heard her promise.

"By the way, when will you move to the new mansion?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and asked, she also wanted to sit at Wei Hao's new mansion, it was so beautiful, he and Li Siyuan both liked it very much .

"It will take a month, and there are still some small things that haven't been done well, so don't worry anyway!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Well, when those ministers go to your mansion, they will definitely be dumbfounded, especially the glass and those furniture, they have never seen them anyway, they are all good things!" Li Lizhi said proudly.

"That's right, when I move in, I won't come out, I'll hibernate at home!" Wei Hao also said happily, there is a greenhouse at home, how comfortable is it to hide in the greenhouse and bask in the sun?

Li Lizhi heard it, smiled and hit Wei Hao a few times, but didn't say anything, knowing that Wei Hao had such a personality, lazy and didn't want to work!
"I'm exhausted this year, really!" Wei Hao said emphatically to Li Lizhi.

"I know, I know you're exhausted, and it's still black, like charcoal." Li Lizhi immediately said with a smile.

When Li Shimin got up the next day, he told Wang De beside him to get ready. The patriarchs of those aristocratic families would come over today. Originally, the patriarchs of the Cui and Lu families came to the capital. Come here, it seems that this time we need to have a good talk.

"Remember, let Wei Hao come over later and have dinner together!" Li Shimin thought of this and said to Wang De.

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you need anyone else?" Wang De nodded and then asked.

"It's just him, the others don't need it, it's enough for Zhen Yong, Gao Ming, and Shen Yong to accompany them at that time, and the others, don't need it for now." Li Shimin thought about it, and said to Wang De.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang De said to Li Shimin, while Li Shimin was sitting there eating breakfast and drinking tea after eating.
After a while, Li Chengqian came over.

"Come and sit down!" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and asked him to sit down. Li Chengqian also sat down very carefully. The father and son hadn't sat together for a while.

"I'm going to talk to the aristocratic family today. The aristocratic family may think about surrendering. Listen first. If they really surrender, it will be of great significance to us. The emperor has been fighting with them for several years. I have been fighting with them for more than ten years, and now I finally have to see a conclusion, you listen first!" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said,
Li Chengqian immediately bowed his hands and said yes.

"What have you been up to recently?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Going back to my father, I'm cooperating with the people from the Ministry of Industry to let them choose the location of 10 reservoirs. Erchen thought about building 10 reservoirs around Chang'an. However, it may not be possible now, but when the time comes The minister will hand over the money to the Ministry of Industry, and let the Ministry of Industry start repairing the reservoir at the end of summer and early autumn next year!" Li Shimin immediately said to Li Shimin.

"Well, that makes sense. The money is just in the treasury. You should use it to do something, do something for the people, and have the people in your heart." Li Shimin softened his tone when he heard it, and nodded. Said.

"Yes, father!" Li Chengqian nodded when he heard his praise.

At this time, Wang De came in, cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, King Yue please see me!"

"Why is he here?" Li Shimin frowned, but let him in. Soon, Li Tai came in, and after saluting Li Shimin, he immediately saluted Li Chengqian.

"Father, my son came here because I heard that the aristocratic family wants to meet Father today, so they want to come and see." Li Tai sat down and said to Li Shimin.

"Experience it?" Li Shimin was still stunned, why would he want to experience it?And Li Chengqian was very vigilant in his heart.

"Yes, I know that my father has always hoped that more children from poor families can enter the court, and the aristocratic family does control most of the officials in the court. I think this time I want to see my father. How can you make the family submit!" Li Tai said with a smile,

Li Shimin also laughed when he heard it, and then said: "It's okay, it's good to be knowledgeable!"

"Yes, thank you, Father!" Li Tai was very happy when he heard that,

And Li Chengqian was so angry, what qualifications did he have to participate in such a thing, this was a fundamentally important matter related to Datang, he was a vassal king, why should he participate.

"Also, father, I heard that my eldest brother is going to open a school in the west city. Now that the location has been selected and the foundation is being laid, I also want to open a school in the west city. , because the west city is full of ordinary people, and I also hope to train some students, and when they enter the court, they will be able to serve the emperor." Li Tai continued to talk to Li Shimin.

"Well, if you can think of it this way, my father is very pleased, so let's go." Li Shimin said with a smile,

For Li Tai, he still dotes on him very much. After all, Li Tai is very smart, and he has a vivid memory when reading books.

"Thank you, father, that is, my son doesn't have much money, so I told my mother, and my mother said that I wasted money, so please tell my father!" Li Tai was very happy when he heard Li Shimin's agreement.

Li Chengqian, who was sitting beside him, didn't speak, he was so angry that he was blatantly trying to compete with him.

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll talk to your mother, and you, too, learn more from your elder brother!" Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Yes, I will definitely learn from my eldest brother, but my father, my son has no money. My son is not like my elder brother. There are 10,000+ cents in cash in the treasury. If my son has so much money, it must be I want to do more things for the people of the world." Sitting there, Li Tai continued to say to Li Shimin,
When Li Chengqian heard this, he was so angry that he was putting eye drops on himself in front of his face.

"Father, the money of my son is also earned by myself, and the reason why the money is put in the treasury is because the money has just arrived in the East Palace, and there is not so much time to think about what to do. I have thought it through!" Li Chengqian immediately said to Li Shimin.

"Well, Gao Ming did a good job on this point, Father is very satisfied!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Father, if the son-in-law is rich, the son-in-law can do well. Father, can you talk to your brother-in-law and take me to do some business? I have heard that there is a brother-in-law now. There are a lot of good things, if you take any of them and release them, you can make a lot of money for everyone, this time, can you let Erchen also take a share?" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Oh, you can't ask my father about this. The royal family holds a fixed share. As for how to divide the other shares, it depends on your brother-in-law." Li Shimin said to Li Tai with a smile.

"But my brother-in-law doesn't want to see me! I asked him several times, but he said no!" Li Tai said aggrievedly while sitting there.

"Your brother-in-law doesn't want to see you? Impossible? Your brother-in-law is very kind to your elder brother, your slave, and your son-in-law." Li Shimin heard this, and looked at Li Tai in confusion.

"Originally, I went to my sister, but my sister couldn't take the lead. If I went to my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law said no!" Li Tai still sat there complaining.

"That's fine, your brother-in-law will come over later, and the emperor will talk about him." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Thank you, father, you have to make him agree!" Li Tai was even happier when he heard that Li Shimin agreed, and Li Chengqian was there angrily, clenched his fists. Fortunately, the fists were hidden in his sleeves. less than.

"Brother, you have made a lot of money following brother-in-law, and brother-in-law has helped you a lot." Li Tai asked with a smile, looking at Li Chengqian.

"Ha!" Sitting there, Li Chengqian forced a smile. Li Shimin knew exactly how he made the money, so he didn't need to explain it himself.

"Okay, your brother-in-law and your elder brother have a good relationship, and you have to deal with your brother-in-law!" Li Shimin interrupted Li Tai!

"I think so too, but my brother-in-law doesn't want to see me, so I can't help it." Li Tai said pretending to be aggrieved.

"Impossible, father knows what kind of person your brother-in-law is." Li Shimin immediately waved his hand and said, not wanting to hear Li Tai speak ill of Wei Hao.
