Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 365 Why?
Chapter 361

Wei Hao didn't understand what Wei Yuanzhao said to Wei Hao, so he just looked at Wei Yuanzhao.

"Now that the royal family controls so much wealth, the royal family must be powerful and have huge wealth. In the end, no matter what business there is in the future, the royal family will intervene.
At that time, the royal family will have the final say on all the money in the whole world, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has no money. Shenyong, the wealth of the world can be concentrated in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, not in the royal family. Concentration in the royal family is private. ,

Now those officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs are not from the family, they are all ordinary children, the issues they consider, our family also thinks that wealth should not be concentrated in the royal family,
I hope you have to think about this issue. In the court, many ministers have written letters to His Majesty, hoping to hand over the shares of this workshop to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, not to the royal family.
The royal family's income last year exceeded 130 million yuan, while the Ministry of Civil Affairs' income last year was only 350 million yuan, which is more than 17%. Normally, the royal family should have taken more than [-] yuan from the Ministry of Civil Affairs last year, which is enough for the royal family. Yes, after all, the royal family still has a large number of Huangzhuang,
The royal population is only more than 3 people. These 300 people have used more than 300 million mu of land, which is not counted as permanent land. These [-] million mu are all fertile land!There are other industries!
Shen Yong, if these shares fall into the hands of the royal family, think about it, the revenue of the royal family may exceed 300 million yuan, and the population of the royal family is only 3. Everyone can get 300 yuan, is it appropriate? "Wei Yuanzhao sat there, watched Wei Hao speak, and Wei Hao sat there thinking.

"Shen Yong, you need to think carefully about this matter. Now it's not just the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but now the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of War, Ministry of Punishment and Ministry of Rites all have great opinions. If I remember correctly, your father-in-law Both Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanling have signed up!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said.

"No, why didn't I know about this?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao and asked.

"Because those ministers have just learned about your workshop in the eastern suburbs, and they have just learned that the products produced by those craftsmen are selling so well, and they may have huge profits. Some ministers went to the craftsmen and asked After knowing their specific situation, those craftsmen dare not say anything, no, all of them have been exposed!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao heard it, nodded, then stood up, walking back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back.

"County magistrate, county magistrate. There are people in the palace, and I want you to go to the palace!" At this moment, Du Yuan, the magistrate of the county, came over and said to Wei Hao.

"Is someone coming from the palace?" Wei Hao was taken aback when he heard it, and then nodded.

"You go first, I go out behind, it's not good to be seen!" Wei Yuanzhao said to Wei Hao,

Wei Hao nodded, then walked outside, and said to Du Yuan, "Send Patriarch Wei to me later!"

"Okay!" Du Yuan nodded, and soon, Wei Hao left the county office, rode to the palace,

Li Shimin is sitting on the side of Ganlu Palace at the moment, and in front of him sits Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Chu Suiliang, Hou Junji, Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong, Duan Lun, Dai Zhou and others, among them Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong are against those The minister said that the shares should be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Your Majesty, the reason for this has been explained by the minister and other colleagues. The harm outweighs the benefit. Please think twice. How much money does Wei Hao need and the Ministry of Civil Affairs supports? After all, last year, the income of the royal family money exceeded 130 million yuan, and now there is still a lot of money lying in the royal warehouse.

Of course, I know that His Majesty spent a lot of money and did a lot of things last year, but His Majesty made a statement, will the future emperor make a statement?Also, so much money will speed up the decay of the royal family, please think twice, Your Majesty, this request is for the sake of the world and the royal family! Sitting there, Fang Xuanling cupped her hands to Li Shimin and said.

"Nonsense, our royal family will also use this money to do good deeds. Last year, the royal family spent more than 60 yuan to do good deeds!" Li Xiaogong said angrily, staring at Fang Xuanling.

"King Hejian, you know very well in your heart that it may not be a good thing to give this money to the royal family! The reason why you insist on it is because you are afraid that the royal children will scold you. You should ask yourself, should this money be given to the royal family?" Fang Xuan Ling stared at Li Xiaogong and asked.

"Why not, it may not be a good thing, but it may not be a bad thing!" Li Xiaogong also shouted at Fang Xuanling.

"Also, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has a huge income. We don't know how this income comes from. Last year, as far as we know, the income of His Royal Highness's East Palace will not be less than 60 yuan. If you add what you don't know, you don't dare to think you know!" Chu Suiliang also said to Li Shimin, clasping his hands.

Li Chengqian was also sitting there at the moment, looking at Chu Suiliang in shock. Donggong’s income last year exceeded 80 guan. , A lot of money was spent on building roads and schools.

"Okay, when Shen Yong comes over, I want to hear what Shen Yong means, but I'm curious why you didn't talk to Shen Yong, and this time, no one impeached Shen Yong, but gave me a memorial ?” Sitting there, Li Shimin asked them.

"This!" Those ministers heard it, are you looking at me and I looking at you?

"Afraid that Shenyong will beat you?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. In fact, the reason is very simple. The workshop was run by Wei Hao. If we impeach him and he doesn't do it, wouldn't it be troublesome?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin with a wry smile and said.

"Oh, so that's the case! You are afraid of offending him now, okay, you can impeach him, but now you are all talking about this matter, I was thinking about those workshops of Shenyong before, the Ministry of Civil Affairs nothing happened,
In addition, the reason why Shen Yong wanted to give to the royal family was not because it was necessary, but because Shen Yong, a child, cared for the eldest grandson queen, and wanted to bring the royal family to make some money.
But now, if you want to take it, Shen Yong may not agree. Why give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs?You know Shenyong's ability, you also know how much Shenyong gave to the royal family, paper workshops, ceramic workshops, brick workshops, etc., a large number of workshops are for the queen to buy shares, this is Shen Yong For the filial piety to the queen, why should Shen Yong give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs? " Li Shimin sat there, looked at the ministers and asked,
Now those ministers were all dumbfounded, they really hadn't thought about this issue.

"That's right, Shenyong's shares, why should I give them to you? Can he make money by himself, can he find someone to cooperate with?" Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up at this moment, and he asked the ministers.

"That's right, Your Majesty still knows, otherwise, you would have almost bypassed me. Why did Shen Yong give it to the royal family? It was because the empress is here. You all know that Shen Yong is deeply loved by the empress, and the empress has You trust Shen Yong very much, if you rob like this, will Shen Yong give it to you?" Li Daozong also sat there, and asked them back.

"This!" Chu Suiliang was also dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say, so he could only look at other people.

"Your Majesty, what I mean is that Shenyong will be given to the royal family, and the royal family will be given to the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Fang Xuanling said as she cupped her hands at Li Shimin.

"Then why? Shen Yong paid filial piety to the empress, why should he give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" Li Xiaogong immediately asked back.

"Well, we've already said the reason, Your Majesty, please think again!" Fang Xuanling was very helpless, and could only look at Li Shimin with his hands folded. In fact, Li Shimin understood, but if he wanted the queen to take it out, let the royal family take it out, It's very difficult, this is not for the benefit of one person, but the benefit of the entire royal family, who dares to make decisions easily?Li Shimin hoped that the Ministry of Civil Affairs would get involved, but he dared not make such a decision.

"Your Majesty, Duke Xia is here!" Wang De came in at this moment and said to Li Shimin with his hands folded.

"Let Shenyong come in!" Li Shimin said to Wang De, and Wang De immediately went out, and after a while, he brought Wei Hao in.

"I have seen my father!" Wei Hao first said to Li Shimin, cupping his hands.

"Excuse me, come, sit down, sit next to me!" Li Shimin pointed to the stool next to him, and said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded with a smile, then saluted the prince and other ministers, and then sit down,
Li Shimin poured a cup of tea for Wei Hao, and said, "What are you busy with, kid? Huh? Since the banquet in the East Palace was over, Emperor Father has never seen you. Why did you go? Why are you so busy? A county magistrate is better than me." Still busy?"

"Father, isn't this the Eastern Suburb Industrial Zone? Many things need to be planned. During this period of time, a large amount of green bricks and gravel were also transported to the Eastern Suburb. Now the gravel needs to be dug quickly. Okay, otherwise, when the weather gets warmer and the ice in the upper reaches melts, the water will rise, and then there will be no way to dig sand and gravel." Sitting there, Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"Did you dig?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"No!" Wei Hao shook his head and said.

"You didn't dig, what did you do, don't talk about those things, I know, you are just avoiding me, right?" Li Shimin continued to stare at Wei Hao and asked.

"Father, there's nothing else to do. During the short period of Chinese New Year, we will see each other every day, and it will only take more than ten days." Wei Hao said helplessly.

"Okay. For the sake of what you did in Wannian County, I don't care about it. In the future, I will come to the palace when I have nothing to do. Now I let Gao Ming handle many memorials. What about me, time There are still some, hey, I originally wanted to go to the Supreme Emperor to play mahjong,
Well, just after the Lantern Festival, he moved to live with you, and I don't want to go to your house with all my heart and soul, so I can only stay here every day, reading books and drinking tea, and asking you to make a warm room and Tea set, otherwise, I wouldn't be bored to death? "Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao laughed, and then said: "Okay, I'll come over when I'm free, just don't trick me!"

"I won't cheat you, don't worry, you are the magistrate of Wannian County now, just be a good magistrate of Wannian County." Li Shimin waved his hand immediately and said.

"That's fine, I will come to see you when I have time." Wei Hao nodded and said,
The other ministers also looked at the two of them, and they all knew that Wei Hao was really liked and trusted by Li Shimin. If Wei Hao didn't come, Li Shimin still had objections. If other ministers wanted to see Li Shimin, they had to say hello in advance, or even didn't see each other.

"Well, do you know what's going on in the court?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao.

"What's wrong?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in confusion.

"You son of a bitch, can't you come to court? Can't you hide every day?" Li Shimin immediately scolded Wei Hao.

"It's nothing, what happened?" Wei Hao glanced at Li Shimin, then looked at the other ministers and asked.

"Well, Shenyong, I heard that you are going to open dozens of workshops in the eastern suburbs? And I heard that the profits are amazing?" Fang Xuanling stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"How come your news is so well-informed?" Wei Hao looked at them with a look of shock on his face. They almost rolled their eyes in anger. Now there are so many green bricks piled up in the eastern suburbs, and there are still a large number of carriages transporting there every day. Blue bricks, lime, gravel and tiles, they are not blind!

"Shen Yong, is the profit big?" Fang Xuanling continued to stare at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, how should I put it, in business, there must be profits and losses, right? Who dares to talk about profits?" Wei Hao continued to look at them with a smile and said.

"Others don't need to talk about profit, you? You don't talk about it? You just talk about the workshops you made, which one is losing money?" Chu Suiliang immediately stared at Wei Hao and said.

"I didn't set up these workshops. Let me be clear first, it really has nothing to do with me!" Wei Hao immediately emphasized.

"Hey, Shen Yong, don't play sloppy with us, we have all found out that those workshops all have your shadow, and those craftsmen respect you very much! If you can't worship you, you can't say that there is no you Things that I don't understand." Li Jing said while touching his head, Wei Hao already talked when he heard him, it seems that what Wei Yuanzhao said before was true, but his face was still confused.

"Shen Yong, what we ministers mean is that the equity of these workshops needs to be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Otherwise, it is not good for the royal family or the world if the royal family controls such money." Fang Xuanling said He said while touching Wei Hao's beard.

"Why?" Wei Hao asked back, and they all stared at Wei Hao in a daze.

"Are you kidding? Why should I give to the Ministry of Civil Affairs? The Ministry of Civil Affairs didn't give me any benefits. My mother always misses me when she has good things, and your Ministry of Civil Affairs will miss me? My mother will make me a dress from time to time. The Ministry will make it for me, what are you kidding, mine are for my mother!" Wei Hao looked at them and said with a displeased face,

And Li Shimin heard it, so happy, so proud.Sure enough, he was right about this son-in-law.

"That's right, Shen Yong, Uncle Wang supports you!" Li Xiaogong was even happier when he heard what Wei Hao said, and said with a thumbs up to Wei Hao.

"Originally, when I first met Lizhi, my mother was worried about having no money, so I thought, get more money for my mother, so that he won't worry, oh, your Ministry of Civil Affairs wants those workshops now , I won’t give it, there’s no reason for that, and I didn’t take anything from your Ministry of Civil Affairs? I didn’t even take any salary!” Wei Hao said with a look of contempt while sitting there.

"Shen Yong, your salary was punished by His Majesty, and has nothing to do with our Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Dai Zhou immediately said to Wei Hao,

Li Shimin was also a little embarrassed at the moment, but he still said to Wei Hao with a straight face: "Isn't it normal for you to be punished for your own mistakes? Besides, are you still a little bit worse? Okay, let's not talk about this, Tell me about the equity of these workshops."

"What's there to say, I don't agree anyway!" Sitting there, Wei Hao shook his head and said, and then started to drink tea. After drinking, Li Shimin just put down the teacup, and Li Shimin poured tea for Wei Hao, and Wei Hao hurriedly cupped his hands Said: "Father, I will come by myself, I am a little thirsty!"

"Okay, pour it yourself, drink it slowly, it's hot!" Hearing what Wei Hao said, Li Shimin put down the justice cup, Wei Hao took it, and poured it himself.

"Shen Yong, if the empress is willing to hand over the shares to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, what's your opinion?" Fang Xuanling then asked Wei Hao, Wei Hao was stunned when he asked, and Li Shimin was also stunned.

"How is it possible that my mother can still give the money to the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" Wei Hao said in disbelief.

"I don't care if it's possible or not, just tell me your opinion. If His Majesty and Empress agree, what's your opinion?" Fang Xuanling continued to ask.

"Well, in this way, if it is said that I have given the shares to my mother, how will my mother deal with it? That is my mother's business. I have no right to manage it, and I will not.

But if you say that you are now forcing my mother to not take those shares and want the Ministry of Civil Affairs to come and talk to me, then don’t talk about it, I will not give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs!Why should I give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, my own money-making things, why should I give it to the court?Doesn't make sense?Your family also has property, can you hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs?right? "Wei Hao sat there, asking them continuous questions,

Those ministers also nodded, the reason is indeed the reason.

"Shen Yong made it very clear!" Fang Xuanling nodded, and then looked at Li Shimin.

"What's the matter? I haven't decided on this matter yet, and I haven't discussed it with the empress. You have the ability to persuade the empress to go, and persuade the clan members of the royal family to go. The empress dare not decide alone on this matter!" Li Shimin looked at those ministers and said,
In fact, Empress Changsun knew it a long time ago and wanted to give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but there are many clan relatives on the royal side, and His Majesty needs the support of the royal family. How can a court be an emperor without the support of the royal family?
"Your Majesty, I'm going to talk to the Empress about this matter today. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?" Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and Li Shimin stared at Fang Xuanling.

"Your Majesty, I have no selfish intentions, I just hope that the Great Tang will get better and better, so that it can be passed on forever!" Fang Xuanling cupped his hands again and said to Li Shimin. He had to stand up, even if it offended Li Shimin, he had to stand up.
