Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 350 They Are Back
Chapter 346

After Wei Hao finished speaking, Wei Chunjiao looked at Wei Hao.

"Sister, really, it's not that I don't give you face, I went, I see who dares to eat, don't you need to know?" Wei Hao looked at his elder sister helplessly.

"If you don't go, don't go, that's fine, you brat, you know how to show off now." Wei Chunjiao said, staring at Wei Hao.

"I didn't show off, it's really inappropriate for me to go, isn't it self-defeating? I'm a state prince, and I eat with those officials of the fifth and sixth ranks. How big of a face do they have for me to eat with them?" Wei Hao couldn't help it. , I definitely don't want to go.

"Okay, I didn't say anything. Your brother-in-law also said that I don't want to come to you. Talking about such a thing, it's not good to find you. I was thinking, is this the first time I invite someone to dinner at home? Thinking, with you here , to save face." Wei Chunjiao said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Hey, my eldest sister, who dares not give you face? Right?" Wei Hao also looked at her with a smile and said.

"Stinky boy!" Wei Chunjiao hit Wei Hao, and Wei Hao then lay down.

"You just lie there? Do nothing?" Wei Chunjiao asked Wei Hao, who was lying there.

"What am I doing?" Wei Hao asked back.

"Anyway, mom and dad know that they are spoiling you. They have been like this since they were young. That's fine. I'll go and help mom. Now mom is directing the family to make snacks. Mom is partial. I don't even teach you. Learn, I will learn from the princess when the princess gets started, really! It’s just partiality." Wei Chunjiao said, stood up, and left,

Wei Hao smiled and leaned there to sleep. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me if the eldest sister and mother are arguing. They made trouble with them, and then Wei Hao fell asleep in a daze.
After a while, he felt his face itchy, Wei Hao touched it, and then felt itchy again, Wei Hao touched it again, then opened his eyes, and found Li Siyuan sitting next to him.

"Hey, why are you here?" Wei Hao immediately sat up and asked with a smile.

"Isn't this a gift for your family? I'm here, it's close anyway, just a few steps away!" Li Siyuan smiled and said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao's mansion is less than one mile away from Li Jing's mansion land.

"Well, sit down, I'll make you some black tea, and I'll bring you a gift, and I haven't delivered it yet!" Wei Hao asked with a smile.

"I'm waiting for a gift from your family. Now who doesn't know, the snacks in your mansion are delicious, and the nephews at home are also making a fuss, arguing for your popcorn." Li Siyuan asked .

"Yes, I made it today, and you can bring some back later for some nephews to eat!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Well, by the way, are you done with the affairs of the county government office? Dad said when you will be free, come and sit at my house. I haven't eaten at home for a long time." Li Siyuan looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"In two days, I'll give you a gift in two days, and then I'll go to my house for dinner, what does my father-in-law want me to do?" Wei Hao looked at Li Siyuan and asked.

"I don't know, my father didn't say anything, maybe there's something wrong, but I'm definitely not in a hurry." Li Siyuan nodded and said.

"Well, okay!" Then the two chatted,
After chatting for a while, Li Siyuan left. He originally wanted to keep her at home for dinner, but Li Siyuan didn't want to eat. There was no other way. Wei Hao could only pick up a bag of various snacks for him to take back.

As soon as Li Siyuan arrived home, the second brother Li Deju came back. He was repairing the straight road before. Although it is winter, he has not come back. He is preparing for road construction next year. He needs to prepare a lot of sand, gravel and steel bars. Therefore, in the past six months, I have been arranging those supplies, and now I am tanned.

"Second brother, you're back, I was still thinking, why did it take so long this time!" Li Siyuan said happily when she saw Li Deju came back.

"Well, I'm back. The construction site is on holiday. I'll go after the Lantern Festival next year. I hope to finish all the roads in the first half of the year!" Sitting there, Li Dezhen said to them.

"It's okay, the blackness is a bit dark, but it's considered sensible. Road construction is a good thing." Li Jing said while sitting there, stroking his beard.

"Father, really, the people outside are too poor. I have been in Chang'an before, thinking that Chang'an is good, and the world is similar. But along the way, I found that it is really poor. The people are really poor. In many families, even The clothes are all out of place.

We went to find people to work, and those people rushed to sign up for the work, and they were all rushing to do it for five cents a day. Father, there is too much to do in the court, and those of us who are going to build roads this time really Yes, hey! " Li Deju sat there and said with emotion.

"The people are poor, can dad not know? But there is no way, and now we can only change slowly. It is impossible to make them rich all at once. We can only do it slowly.
Here in Chang’an, there are also many poor people. Shen Yong is trying to find a way. Sometimes the old man really agrees with Shen Yong’s words. a bit,
And Shenyong, at least led a group of people to become rich. The old man heard that many people in brick workshops, ceramic workshops, and paper workshops are doing well now and have spare money. , Some people even built houses in their homes. This is a change! "Li Jing sat there and said.

"It's true, those workers in our workshop have a good life at home. There is no such thing as no food, no money to buy fabrics to make clothes. Father, Shenyong has done a lot, just saying, eh, we don't anyway. I know how to say it, it seems that Shen Yong is the only one who can do things in the whole court, and other officials don't do things at all, not to mention other things, let's just say that there are almost 2 people working in the three workshops, and life is very difficult. Good! It can be said that it has affected 2 families!" Li Dejian also sat there and said.

"The people in Tiefang are doing well, and their income is also good!" Li Dezheng said next to him.

"Well, Virtue Award, you write a memorial for what you have seen and heard this time, and I will give it to His Majesty. There are some things that His Majesty needs to know!" Li Jing thought about it and said.

"Okay, I'll finish it tonight!" Li Dezhou nodded and said.

"Should I make an appointment for you tonight and invite those people out for dinner?" Li Dejian looked at Li Deju and asked.

"Forget it, I won't go today, let's go tomorrow, at noon tomorrow, call Shen Yong, I heard that Shen Yong has become the magistrate of Wannian County, did you do anything?" Li Deju looked at them and asked.

"Can there be no action? The action is big. You will know next year. By the way, don't waste the money at home. You may need money next year. Our family may be able to get some shares in those workshops run by Shenyong. , You can also make money at that time.

Don't be extravagant, and leave some money for those children. You are all married and have children, so you should know how to save money! " Li Jing sat there, looked at the two brothers and said.

"Father, don't worry, we know!" Li Dejian also nodded and said,

In Wei Hao's house, Wei Hao was sitting in his greenhouse and writing. There was nothing wrong with Wannian County. The accounts had already been calculated and handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Whatever happened, they would come to look for themselves at home, if nothing happened, they would just write something at home.

"My lord! The eldest son of the house servant outside and several other lords from the mansion have come over and said they came to visit you!" Steward Wang came in and said to Wei Hao.

"Oh, they're back, hurry up, please!" Wei Hao said with a smile, and after a while, they came over, and everyone looked at Wei Hao's new mansion carefully.

"It's so beautiful, really, what did you think of Shen Yong's head?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's glass. I heard about it at Tiefang before. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. There are also those tiles, but glazed tiles. Really, how did you think of it?".
Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong, Xiao Rui and Gao Shixing discussed Wei Hao's new residence as they walked.

"Quick, this way, this way!" Wei Hao was already waiting for them at the entrance of the living room.

"Shen Yong, hey, you are still comfortable!" Zhang Sun Chong shouted at Wei Hao with a smile.

"Comfortable fart, come in, it's cold outside!" Wei Hao greeted them with a smile, and soon, they arrived at Wei Hao's living room, and Wei Hao took them to the sun room.

"Oh my god, this is the sun room. My dad also made one. I heard you made it. Wei Shenyong, you're making money too fast, right? Glass, didn't you let it out?" Fang Yi sat straight There, looking at Wei Hao, he asked.

"Why let it out? I'm very busy. I'm really busy now. I've been duped by my father and served as the county magistrate of Wannian County!" Wei Hao said with a wry smile.

"You too, it's wrong for you to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and you would rather be a county magistrate?" Chang Sun Chong also said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"The servant has a fart. This time the Ministry of Industry is giving bonuses, and those craftsmen are very demanding. Those officials in the court don't pay attention to those craftsmen at all. I still go to the Ministry of Industry to be a servant?" Wei Hao said contemptuously.

"I heard that I had an argument with my father yesterday. I said that artisans are very important to the court. Without artisans, many things cannot be done. My father disagrees, eh, forget it, their gang Old pedant, what do you know, if there are no craftsmen in the iron workshop, what a fart!" Chang Sun Chong said to Wei Hao with a wry smile at this moment.

"The status of craftsmen really needs to be improved, and they can't be suppressed all the time. In addition, for businessmen, they also need to improve their status. There is no such thing as scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the people are poor. Those officials don't seem to see it. We are near the iron workshop. , those people’s lives are better, but they are also poor, eh, it’s only a few dozen miles away from Chang’an City, so poor, one can imagine what other places are like.” Gao Xing was also sitting there, sighing Said.

"When I took office in Wannian County this time, I also transferred to the entire Wannian County. There are a lot of poor people. However, those officials don't care. Regardless of them, we should do our own thing well. Take your time, it's impossible. Just change, it always takes time,

I estimate that after three years, there may be more than 30 people working in the workshops in Chang'an City. If this scale is reached, I believe that people's lives will be much easier. A lot of things! "Wei Hao sat there and said with a wry smile.

"Shen Yong, you are more capable, you can change it. Really, my father and the others are really old. Although we are all children of lords, we are not short of food and drink, but when you really see those poor people, The kind of shock I gave you, I feel that eating delicacies from mountains and seas by myself is meaningless!" Chang Sun Chong sat there and said with emotion, Wei Hao looked at Chang Sun Chong in surprise.

"You have done a good job. At the very least, you have helped many people in Tiefang. When you saw the poor people's homes, you didn't say anything. You spent your own money to buy fabrics for them. It's ok. Our ability is so great. What should we do with Shenyong's ability? Do what you can!" Xiao Rui said.

"Don't talk about me, you are not bad, I know, you donated to a school over there, and you gave them 100 coins to hire a teacher. In fact, we are all good. It's just that our ability is really limited. Anyway, come back this time , Hey, I'm not used to it!" Zhang Sun Chong said with a wry smile.

"You're not scolding me, I enjoy it every day!" Wei Hao looked at them with a wry smile and said.

"No way, you and we still know, we all know that your father is a great benevolent person, and so are you!" Chang Sun Chong said hastily.

"Come on, drink tea, wait a minute, bring a few catties of tea and more than ten catties of wine back home by yourself. It's Chinese New Year, so I won't give them to you alone. Keep it for yourself. By the way, go to Juxian Building for dinner at night." , I’m treating you to the new restaurant, you’ll definitely like it!” Wei Hao said to them with a smile, then greeted a servant and asked him to find the butler to prepare, and the servant went out immediately.

Talking until it was almost dark, Wei Hao and the others set off to the Juxian Building. When the four of them arrived at the Juxian Building, they were surprised to see the girls welcoming guests at the door. Leading the way, they also looked at Wei Hao.

"Shen Yong, it's really you, come here for a good meal?" Fang Yi looked at Wei Hao and said jokingly.

"No, considering that this restaurant is so big, you said that the servants lead the way every time, and the guest officials felt that there was nothing new, so they asked them to come here. They are all hard-working girls. Let them come here to work. It can be regarded as helping them, as you just said, do what you can!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile,

After arriving at the box, the box is on the fourth floor, Box No. [-]. This box is not open to the public, and the interior is very luxuriously decorated. There are tea tables and mahjong tables. When Wei Hao and the others arrived, they sat next to the tea set. Liu Dalang came to play After saying hello, we started to arrange meals.
After a while, a few of them started eating and drinking here. Wei Hao didn't drink, they drank some, and they ate here, which was also known to others.

"Shen Yong, this child, attaches great importance to the four of them. He only came back in the morning, so Shen Yong will invite them in the afternoon?" Li Shimin asked Eunuch Hong after receiving the report.

"That's right. In the afternoon, they went to Xia Guogong's mansion to sit for an afternoon, and then had dinner in Juxian Building." Hong Gong said openly.

"Gao Ming, you should pay attention to these people, especially Fang Yizhi. Shen Yong has a very high opinion of him. In the future, he may be an important minister in his hands. If he is free, he will also go to express condolences. They've been in Tiefang for more than half a year!" Li Shimin said, looking at Li Chengqian who was sitting there.

"Yes!" Li Chengqian nodded, not in a very high mood.

"Father, my son will visit them tomorrow!" Li Tai said with a smile at the moment, Li Chengqian heard it and turned to look at him.

"You, forget it, they just came back, let them have a rest, go later, don't go tomorrow!" Li Shimin heard it, and thought that Li Chengqian had a lot of opinions on him now, so he said to Li Tai.

"Sure, let's go in a few days. At that time, I will invite them to have dinner in Juxian Building!" Li Tai said with a smile. Li Shimin can't say anything now. There is no effect of polishing Li Chengqian.

"In addition, the end of the year is coming, and the day after tomorrow will be a big holiday. You guys have also packed up. Think about what you have done this year and what you have not done. You need to think carefully about what you need to do next year. Gao Ming, the straight road from Chang'an to Luoyang has been built well, although it has not been completed yet, the people still praise it very much, and it will be completed next year." Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Yes, it will definitely be completed next year. The sand and gravel are all ready, and the cement has also been ordered. We only need to wait for the weather to get warmer before we start!" Li Chengqian nodded and said with cupped hands.

"That's good!" Li Shimin said pretending to be satisfied,
After chatting for a while, Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace. When he arrived at the East Palace, Li Chengqian swept out all the things on the table in the study room.

And the crown princess is teasing their children at the moment, the crown princess Su, just gave birth to the grandson of the emperor, named Li Jue, more than ten days ago, Wei Hao's family also sent many gifts, but the full moon is not yet, Li Shimin There is no full moon wine.

"Your Majesty, His Highness is angry again!" A eunuch came to Su Shi's side and said to Su Shi.

"Hey, take good care of Jue'er!" Su Shi stood up with a sigh, said to the maids, and then walked to Li Chengqian's study,

Li Chengqian has been very angry recently, getting angry from time to time, after arriving at Li Chengqian's study, Su closed the door.

"Father rewarded the fourth younger brother again?" Su Shi sat down and said while holding Li Chengqian's hand.

"What does the father mean by pampering Qingque like this? Today, Shenyong invited the few people who came back from the iron workshop to have a meal. The father asked Gu to visit. Before Gu answered, he said that he would also have a banquet. They, the father even acquiesced, what exactly does he mean? Using him to grind Gu, this is grinding Gu, this is suppressing Gu!" Li Chengqian said angrily.

"His Royal Highness, please keep your voice down!" Su Shi immediately tried to persuade him when he heard him say so loudly.

"What are you whispering, what are you afraid of? It's better to hear it in the ears of the emperor!" Li Chengqian continued to shout angrily.
