Chapter 331

Wei Hao settled the guests with great difficulty, and the female guests went to play mahjong in the conservatories of the small courtyards. Now those women also know how to play mahjong. In addition, at Wei Hao's house, dozens of sets of mahjong and Poker is enough for them to play.

After settling down, Wei Hao found a room and took a nap. After a while, Wei Hao was called up again, because some guests had woken up and needed Wei Hao to accompany them.

After a while, Li Shimin woke up, and after waking up, he also went to the conservatory of Wei Hao's main courtyard to drink tea.

"Come on, Father!" Wei Hao poured tea for Li Shimin.

"Well, that bed of yours is nice, very comfortable and big, get one for the emperor!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, I will arrange for the carpenter at home to do it for you in the next two days!" Wei Hao nodded and said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, you are still comfortable. The son-in-law's family has everything!" Sitting there, Cheng Yaojin said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Of course, I still have the ability to pick a son-in-law!" Li Shimin said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"This mansion is really good. I never thought that Wei Hao could build such a good mansion. This old man is so moved. How much does it cost to change the main courtyard into this?" Li Jing also looked at Wei at the moment. Hao asked.

"Am I this big?" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing and asked.

"Well, it's so big!" Li Jing nodded and said.

"All together, it may cost more than [-] guan. The main building doesn't have much money. The key is the decoration!" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing and asked.

"Forget it!" Li Jing immediately smiled and waved his hands and said, it's so expensive, his little money is not enough.

"It's okay, let's wait a few years. I think the cost will come down a lot in a few years, so don't worry!" Wei Hao also said to persuade Li Jing.

"Well, those boys are still useless and can't make money!" Li Jing nodded and said.

"Brother Yao, please be content! There are only two boys in your family, and they are all settled down. Look at me, brother, there are five more in the family that have not been arranged. It's terrible!" Cheng Yaojin sat there and said with a sigh.

"It's okay, if you need money at that time, you can just say it, and can't you solve the marriage of those nephews?" Li Jing said, comforting Cheng Yaojin.

"Well, you don't have to worry about Erlang's marriage, I will give him a marriage here." Li Shimin said to Cheng Yaojin.

"Ah, thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin immediately cupped his hands and thanked him.

"Well, it's not easy for you, six boys, really!" Li Shimin didn't know what to say about Cheng Yaojin, who gave birth to so many sons, didn't he need money to make a fuss?
After sitting here for a while, the banquet started. Wei Hao also invited them to the living room.

After the dinner, Wei Hao personally delivered them to the gate, one by one. After they were all sent away, it was dark because the curfew was about to come. Wei Hao's sister and brother-in-law all went back early, and now the remaining The family members are gone.

"It's over!" Wei Hao sat down tiredly after arriving at the greenhouse in the main courtyard, and said to Wei Furong and the others.

"Fortunately, everyone is very satisfied today. Those people are envious of our mansion!" Mrs. Wang walked over and said to Wei Hao.

"Well, okay, father, mother, aunt, you are too tired today, go to bed early!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said to them, now those servants and maids are still packing up, all of them are packed, probably still It will take an hour. After all, many things need to be put together in the warehouse, so just leave it to Steward Wang.

"When will the restaurant open?" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao.

"Take a few days off, don't worry!" Wei Hao said as he sat there not wanting to move.

"Well, rest for a few days!" Wei Furong also nodded, after a while, after Wei Hao finished washing, he went to his bedroom to sleep. After lying down, it was dawn, and he even forgot to practice martial arts.
After waking up, Wei Hao finished his breakfast and went to the carpenters in the backyard. In fact, those carpenters have been making wooden frames for the greenhouse, and they have done a lot. It is necessary to let yourself help them build,

Wei Hao made Concubine Wei, Li Lizhi and Donggong’s greenhouses, as well as Li Jing’s greenhouse according to the same specifications. Empress Changsun’s was slightly larger, while Li Shimin’s was even bigger than Wei Hao’s. , Otherwise, people will be impeached, and those things are almost done, but there are still two sets.

Wei Hao asked them to divide up, and he was going to take the craftsmen to the palace for construction. Then he arrived at Li Yuan's residence, and found that Li Yuan had woken up and was sitting next to the greenhouse in his small courtyard.

"Grandpa, have you slept well?" Wei Hao came over with a smile and asked.

"Sleep well, ouch, your bed is comfortable, moderately soft and hard, and slept well!" Li Yuan was very happy when he saw Wei Hao coming.

"By the way, have you eaten yet?" Wei Hao asked.

"We've eaten, and we've already made an appointment. We'll meet those two captains later, and they'll call someone else to play cards!" Li Yuan said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Sure, I'll go to the palace today and install one for you in Da'an Palace. When you go back to Da'an Palace, you'll have a place to play. In addition, I'll make you a set of furniture!" Wei Hao said to Li Yuan .

"You are busy with your work. I have nothing to do here. Don't worry about me. As long as I am not in Da'an Palace, I will be comfortable!" Li Yuan said with a smile to Wei Hao, and then poured Wei Hao a cup of tea. The servants are all the eunuchs and maids brought by Li Yuan. There are more than 40 people who serve Li Yuan.

"Okay, anyway, as long as I'm free, I'll come over to you, drink tea or play cards!" Wei Hao nodded and said,
After a while, Wei Hao asked the carriage to pull those shelves, and went to the palace. There were more than a dozen carriages and more than 20 craftsmen. Today, they are going to the palace for construction, and Wei Hao also has to choose a place.

"Your Majesty, Xia Guogong is here, and he brought a construction team, saying that he wants to build a sun room!" Wang De came over and said to Wei Hao.

"Oh, come on, let him in, we're going to start today!" Li Shimin said happily to Wang De,

Soon, Wei Hao came in, chatted with Li Shimin for a while, and found a place for construction, which happened to be on the side of his study, facing south, and that place was a garden with a rather small area. It just so happened that Wei Hao built him a glass corridor so that Li Shimin could go directly from the study to the sun room.

Then came the construction. At the same time, Wei Hao was also in the Lizheng Palace, the East Palace, the Da'an Palace, the palace of Li Lizhi, and the palace of Concubine Wei Gui. You need to keep an eye on those craftsmen, after all, this is the forbidden area of ​​the palace, and the guards are very strict!
It took about eight days to complete the construction, and Li Shimin also happily moved to the greenhouse to work.

"Oh, the study room, it's really comfortable to lie here. When you don't come, I can lie here and read!" Li Shimin proudly said to the ministers in front of him.

"Your Majesty, can you be uncomfortable? I'm so hot that I want to take off my clothes now. The stove is burning and the sun is still shining!" Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Shimin resentfully and said.

"Oh, okay, okay, when the time comes, I will ask Shen Yong to build one for you, and I will pay for it!" Li Shimin said helplessly to Cheng Yaojin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm just waiting for your words. Look at them, all of them have booked to build a greenhouse, but I don't have any!" Cheng Yaojin said happily. Although his family can't be said to be poor, they spent a lot of money to build It must be reluctant to build such a greenhouse.

"Well, I know you are in trouble, so I will give you a warm house." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Turks have all sent out troops this time, but they are all small troops. As of this month's No. 20, they have invaded the border more than 3000 times. My cavalry from the Tang Dynasty took them all Destroyed, wiped out more than 1900 enemies, seized [-] horses, and several other materials,

Li Ji reported that the Turkic side might aggressively attack the border, because this time, they also encountered a heavy snowstorm, and many cattle and sheep were frozen to death. In addition, their food was not enough. He was worried that the Turkic side might Will put all my eggs in one basket! " Li Jing sat there, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Well, I saw the memorial. It's very good. Li Ji is in the northwest. I don't worry about any major changes. Let them come. I still don't believe it. I can't deal with them. If we knock down all their troops this year , I think they dare to come next year?
Now come to the big troops, do they have this ability?Once the army moves, it consumes countless supplies, and they may not dare to move, at most it is a bluff! "Li Shimin sat there and said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, Tubo sent envoys, and Tuyuhun also sent envoys. They are already on their way to Chang'an. Besides, the Japanese envoys have been waiting to be summoned at Honglu Temple. Will Your Majesty meet?" Fang Xuanling Looking at Li Shimin said.

"Waguo has been colluding with Goguryeo and trying to control the Goguryeo Peninsula. You say that Waguo is not big, so why do you have such big ambitions? Your country seems to be in a state of disunity, causing trouble everywhere?" Li Shimin sat there and asked them. .

"Your Majesty, on the side of the Wa Kingdom, they have always admired the culture of our Tang Dynasty. This time, they brought 1 catties of silver. We have very little silver in the Tang Dynasty. They said they are willing to pay [-] catties of silver to our Tang Dynasty. At the same time, they made a request, hoping to send students to our Datang to study!" Changsun Wuji also spoke.

"Ten thousand catties of silver? So much?" Li Shimin said,
Although copper coins are still used to circulate in the Tang Dynasty, silver is also very expensive, but it is very valuable, and gold is even more valuable. Some people will keep silver and gold, and it is also very useful to exchange copper coins. Silver and gold are used Still a lot.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I can agree to Yichen's intention. After all, they admire the culture of our Tang Dynasty. This is the time when our Tang Dynasty shows the demeanor and strength of a great country." Changsun Wuji sat there and continued to face Li Shimin. Said.

"Well, so, let them come to the court tomorrow!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard what Changsun Wuji said, and said, it's not okay to let them stay in Honglu Temple all the time.

"They want to send students to study in the school below the Imperial College, is that okay?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"Admiring the culture of our Great Tang, of course it's okay to study, but you still have to go to the court to talk about it!" Changsun Wuji asked,
At this time, Wang De came in and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, Duke Xia is here and is delivering vegetables to the Lizheng Hall!"

"You bastard, you can't come to Ganlu Hall. How long has it been since he went to court? It's almost a month, right? You don't see him every time?" Li Shimin said to Wang De angrily. up.

"The little one went to Lizheng Hall to call Xia Guogong over?" Wang De looked at Li Shimin tentatively and asked.

"Let him come over!" Li Shimin nodded and said, and soon Wang De went out. Wei Hao had come to the palace to deliver some vegetables, and he would go back after delivery.

Unexpectedly, when he was still sitting in the Lizheng Hall, he was called over by Li Shimin. Wei Hao went to Li Shimin's Ganlu Hall and found so many ministers drinking tea here.

"Tomorrow is going to court!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Ah? Is there something wrong?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"What do you think? You are the Duke of the state, and you can ask about court affairs, but you actually ask if I have anything to do? Can't you come to court if you have nothing to do?" Li Shimin reprimanded Wei Hao.

"Well, father, it's okay, so I won't come. I don't want to fight with those ministers. They are not good enough, they are not my opponents!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"I have something to do, tomorrow the special envoy of the Wa Kingdom will come to submit the credentials!" Li Shimin raised his mouth.

"Who, Japan? Are you kidding me? A place that has not yet established a country is making trouble everywhere. Can we still establish diplomatic relations with them?" Wei Hao stared at Li Shimin and asked.

"They admire the culture of our Tang Dynasty!" Changsun Wuji said beside him.

"Come on, why do you still admire the culture of our Great Tang? Who doesn't admire the culture of our Great Tang, and the surrounding countries? But when it's time to beat us, they still beat us in the same way. Don't they just admire our culture? Can't you beat us?
Not to mention anything else, just Tubo, Tuyuhun, and Turks. Did they all send envoys to our Tang Dynasty, saying that they want to reconcile, but in the end, are they going to fight?They are still fighting now, father, don't you really believe what they say, that would be too much fun! "Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked as he spoke.

"I didn't say I don't believe it, but what you're saying is that it's wrong for them to admire our culture?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It's okay to admire culture, which proves that our Tang Dynasty is strong, but if you want to learn our culture, you can't do it, especially those technologies, including agricultural technology and workshop technology. As for other things, you have to Consider whether to leak the powerful core secrets of my Great Tang, and if so, then definitely not agree!" Wei Hao said while sitting there, looking at Li Shimin.

"Why?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao incomprehensibly and asked.

"Father, the reason is very simple. Father, go and see the countries around us. They haven't formed an industrial foundation at all. Do you think they have any workshops? At most, they are making weapons. Other people They don't have the workshop to use.

As for our Datang, how many workshops do we have now?Those are all technologies, and these technologies are even hundreds or even thousands of years ahead of the world. These technologies can guarantee that my Datang will be strong! "Wei Hao sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Then you mean that we won't allow them to study?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, this is not acceptable. The Japanese envoys have been asking to study in the school under the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty. If they do not agree, it will appear that the Tang Dynasty has no stomach for it?" Changsun Wuji looked at Wei Hao and said.

"I found out that you civil servants just want to save face and suffer. What kind of tolerance? Well, when the Japanese invaded our Central Plains, you will know what it means to be generous, and to be generous?

Let me tell you, there are only two ways to deal with other countries, either, surrender to our ministers, our Tang Dynasty sent troops to garrison there, and the appointment of their kings requires the approval of our Tang emperor,

Or, it is to completely subdue him, let their people become the people of my Great Tang, and let their land become the territory of my Great Tang.Between countries, there is no friendship between friends, there are only eternal interests! Sitting there, Wei Hao said to Li Shimin and the others excitedly.

"Wei Hao, you are wrong to say that. There are many countries in the northwest, but they respect our Majesty as the Khan of Heaven. They can also be said to be our vassal states!" Changsun Wuji continued to oppose Wei Hao.

"Subordinate countries, you can pull it down. I found that you have problems. You say, they send something over, and our Datang will return a very generous gift. It is obviously a loss-making business. You still have to do it, but in our country, those If you don't care about the begging, I don't know, are you the ministers of those countries? Or are you the ministers of our Tang Dynasty?" Sitting there, Wei Hao said to the ministers with contempt.

"Wei Hao, talk as you say, we didn't say anything!" Wei Zheng stared at Wei Hao very unhappy and said.

"Did I mention you!" Wei Hao also pushed back.

"Your Majesty, after all, this time, the Wa Kingdom will contribute 1 catties of silver!" Changsun Wuji continued to say to Li Shimin,
When Wei Hao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Really. They sent ten thousand catties of silver. By the way, I remember that the country of Wa seems to be rich in silver!"

"I don't know if it's rich or not, but the value of silver is still very expensive!" Changsun Wuji said.

"Father, let's fight Japan!" Wei Hao suddenly suggested excitedly to Li Shimin.
