Chapter 368 Money Is Poison

Chapter 364

Wei Hao was very irritable sitting on the side of the county government office. If this matter cannot be resolved, it will leave a lot of troubles. Although Wei Hao can completely leave it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but if something happens later, the court will There will be a crisis, this is what Wei Hao does not want to see,

Wei Hao sat in the county office and thought about it for a long time. At this time, one of Wei Hao's family soldiers came over and said to Wei Hao, "My lord, the Duke of Dai's mansion sent someone to invite you over for dinner!"

"Oh, okay, I see!" Wei Hao just woke up from his contemplation at this moment, and then stood up. The family soldier also gave Wei Hao his belongings, including the Tang knife that Wei Hao carried with him.

After leaving the county government office, Wei Hao sighed, and then rode to the residence of Dai Guogong Li Jing. When Wei Hao got off his horse, he found Li Jing waiting for him at the door.

"Father-in-law, why are you still waiting outside?" Wei Hao dismounted and said to Li Jing with a smile.

"Well, there are many guests in the house today, and you must know it, so I will tell you first when I come out, and you don't need to worry about me, how should I say it, how should I say it? , I have to come out, but it's just coming out, I don't have any hope if it can be done!" Li Jing said to Wei Hao in a low voice.

"Thank you father-in-law!" Wei Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said, and said to Li Jing, he was worried that Li Jing would also put pressure on him, and he would be depressed.
Soon Wei Hao arrived at the living room of Li Jing's mansion, and the people in the living room were those who were in Ganlu Palace today.

"Shen Yong, come, sit here!" Fang Xuanling saw Wei Hao approaching, stood up and greeted Wei Hao with a smile.

"Sit down, I'll just sit casually, I'm a half master here!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile.

"Come on, come on, don't be too polite. We are here today and we want to talk about something. You know that we really need to convince you about this matter. If you don't agree, there is nothing we can do." Fang Xuanling smiled. started talking.

"Yes, Xia Guogong, you still need to nod for this matter. If you don't nod, there is no way to deal with the matter. The empress has already agreed, so it's up to you!" Dai Zhou also looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Hmm, ha!" Hearing this, Wei Hao smiled wryly, and then sat down.

"Come, drink tea!" Minister of Industry Duan Lun was making tea and poured Wei Hao a cup of tea.

"Thank you. What I want to say is that this matter is not as simple as you think. It is easy to leave it to you. If you leave it to you, can you do these workshops well in the future? And, in the future, will the Ministry of Civil Affairs interfere with the common people? The workshops are all a problem, I hope you will be more careful and say that you will hand them over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but in the end, no one is responsible, and everyone wants to be responsible, and then, the workshops will be pornographic by you!" Wei Wei Hao sat there, looked at them with a sigh and said.

"Shen Yong, are you serious?" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile, but she still didn't believe what Wei Hao said.

"Housekeeper She, let me ask you, if I hand it over to you, then you will learn that other workshops will make money, will you also ask for a share, besides, are the workshops created by craftsmen going towards the future? Since the supplies urgently needed by the court are not urgently needed by the court, why should Chaotang invest in shares, and the court should not just focus on money!" Wei Hao sat there, staring at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"No, it's just that if these workshops are handed over to the royal family, it will definitely not work. If they are handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can rest assured that the Ministry of Civil Affairs will not interfere with what to do specifically, nor will it interfere too much with the workshops. You have the final say on the operation of the workshop, and you have the final say on everything!" Fang Xuanling immediately said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, if you say that, I'm a little more at ease, but what I want to ask is, if the workshop loses money, will you hold anyone accountable, and will you pay for it to make up for the loss?" Wei Hao continued Watching them ask.

"Well, we want to hear what you mean. What do you think we should do? Tell us your opinion and we will consider it." Fang Xuanling cleverly kicked the question to Wei Hao, hoping that Wei Hao could express his opinion, so that It's easy for them to discuss, and they don't know anything about the workshop, so it's wiser to listen to Wei Hao.

"If you lose money, your Ministry of Civil Affairs needs to pay out. Of course, you don't have to spend money all the time. If the money lost exceeds [-]% of the money earned over the years, you can close the workshop!" Wei Hao looked at them and said, this is also the case. He was thinking about it at the county government in the afternoon. If this problem really cannot be avoided, then he needs to get more suitable conditions for those workshops.

"Okay, listen to you! What do you think?" Fang Xuanling looked at the other ministers as he spoke. They heard it and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, in addition, how should the status be given to those craftsmen? They are now considered officials in the Ministry of Industry, but their salaries are very low. Of course, they have shares in the workshop, but their grades, do they belong to the industry? Ministry, or the Ministry of Civil Affairs? The craftsmen belong to the Ministry of Industry now, but the workshop belongs to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It can’t be done. You two departments don’t care, right? In this case, once those craftsmen encounter problems, what should they do?” Wei Hao sat There, when this crucial question was raised, Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, looked at Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"This, this matter still needs to be considered!" Dai Zhou looked at Wei Hao and said at the moment.

"Okay, you can think about it. Also, if those craftsmen belong to the Ministry of Industry, is it appropriate for them to get such a small salary? How much value have they created for the court? Will they be balanced with such a small amount of money?
Also, what should be the treatment for those craftsmen who have not yet come out of the Ministry of Industry? In addition, if they are transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how will those craftsmen be transferred, what department will they be transferred to, and how will their grade be determined? "Wei Hao sat there and continued to question those people,

Fang Xuanling and the others were dumbfounded at the moment, they just wanted to control those workshops, and hoped that the court could increase their income, but they didn't expect that there would be so many things ahead.

"You were thinking about controlling those shares before, but you didn't think about the consequences of controlling those shares. If you give it to the royal family, then these things are not things. They are cooperating with the royal family, which is a private cooperation, but Now that you want to buy shares, and want to be the same as Tiefang and Salt, then you need to consider the treatment of those craftsmen.

Please also think about it carefully. This matter is not a simple matter. It involves hundreds of craftsmen who came out, as well as those craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry. If those craftsmen are not convinced, can those workshops be established? , is a problem! "Wei Hao sat there and continued to talk, those ministers were also thinking about what Wei Hao said.

After Wei Hao finished speaking, he stopped talking and let them think about it for themselves. What he said was clear enough.

"Shen Yong, what do you mean?" Fang Xuanling thought for a while, feeling confused, and wanted to ask Wei Hao what he meant.

"I don't dare to express what I mean. I said it. You still think that I am embarrassing you. How to solve it. You can think about it. I won't publish it. I will pass your thoughts on to those craftsmen and let them think about it.

In addition, there is another thing. If you want to invest in those workshops, please prepare money. This money is quite a lot. The shares are sold to your Ministry of Civil Affairs, and your Ministry of Civil Affairs needs to pay for it.
If it is sold to a private person, there is no problem with a share worth tens of thousands. Now I ask you for 5000 yuan, and you want 2% of the shares. Then a workshop needs 5000 yuan. Now there are 42 workshops in total, then It needs 100 million yuan. Does the Ministry of Civil Affairs have so much money now? " Wei Hao sat there, looked at them and asked.

"What, so much money?" Fang Xuanling and the others heard it and looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"Is it expensive? If you don't believe me, 5000 yuan is [-]% of the shares, put it outside, and you can go and see how many people will buy it! Even you all want to buy it, right? There is also the aristocratic family, which has long been looking for I talked about it, and I am willing to pay this price, and now I give you a [-]% discount from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and you still dislike the price, so it is a bit unreasonable?" Wei Hao looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"No, isn't that right? The royal family paid 5 guan before!" Fang Xuanling continued to look at Wei Hao and said.

"That's right. The royal family paid 5 guan, and they accounted for 100% of the shares. In other words, we need to hand over the 50 million guan to the royal family, and the remaining 50 guan will be shared between me and the craftsmen. Of course, you can also make the royal family not want the 50 guan, but the [-] guan for me and the craftsman is necessary,

Don’t think that there are a lot of people. There are hundreds of people here. It’s really not that much. I’ll take 2% at most, and 30% is 1000 guan. To those craftsmen, each person can only get less than [-] guan. , not much? "Wei Hao looked at Fang Xuanling and said.

"This!" Fang Xuanling and the others were all dumbfounded at the moment, they didn't expect that there would be so many problems.

"Think about these things, think about it, and talk to me again!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said calmly, and those ministers also discovered that Wei Hao is very different today from before. Today's Wei Hao is very different. Calm, not as angry as before.

"Shen Yong, the issues you mentioned will be discussed tomorrow by the ministers of rank five and above, and then I will write a letter to His Majesty to see if His Majesty can approve it. Now it has involved the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Officials. The issue of officials' treatment and promotion cannot be bypassed by the Ministry of Officials!" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao nodded and did not speak.

Fang Xuanling sat there and thought about it, then looked at Wei Hao and asked, "Are you very opposed to this matter?"

"What do you think, the advantages you see now, five years later, you will see the disadvantages. This disadvantage is very serious. Maybe, um, something will happen, a big thing!" Wei Hao sat there, He said coldly to them.

"Big thing?" Fang Xuanling stared at Wei Hao and asked in disbelief.

"Competing with the people for profit is originally a taboo in the court, but you are fighting like this now, the taboo of the taboos! At that time, all the workshops in the world will be absorbed by the ministries. For the Great Tang, it will be a disaster!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said with a sigh.

"Impossible, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will not go to the collection workshop easily!" Fang Xuanling said.

"Fang Pushe, you are now a Pushe. After five years, you will still be a Pushe. After ten years? Once the Ministry of Civil Affairs takes over the workshop, there will be money. This money is poison. Once it is found that the workshop is not profitable, it will find a way to build other workshops. It is necessary to ensure that the Ministry of Civil Affairs receives so much money every year.

At that time, those officials can only go outside to build other workshops. All the workshops in the world will be collected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In the end, all the profitable businesses in the world will be in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In the end, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be rich, officials will be rich, and the officials will be poor. People all over the world, this day will not be far away, at most 20 years, I believe many people here will be able to see it!
Because the status of industry and commerce is too low in your hearts, their wealth is the wealth of the court to you, you can take it if you want, and those people can't resist at all. "Wei Hao sat there, still very disheartened and said.

"Shen Yong, no, it's not that serious, don't worry, besides, you are in the court, you will prevent this from happening, right?" Fang Xuanling immediately persuaded Wei Hao, although Wei Hao's words He doesn't believe it, but he is still a little convinced, knowing that Wei Hao's long-term perspective is still accurate!
"I, haha, is it possible? Your Majesty is willing to hand over those workshops to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so the ministers agree. I object alone. Who will listen to me? I talk too much, and they think I have selfish intentions and are dissatisfied with you Said, if it is not given to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I am going to attract investment, that is, let the people of the world buy the shares of these workshops,

For example, if you have 1000 coins, you can unite 10 people to raise 1 coins and buy 1% of the shares of a workshop. At the end of the year, for example, the workshop will distribute 1000 coins in dividends, then you will take away [-] coins. I would rather be like this, because in this way, the wealth is in the hands of the common people, not in the hands of the court,

And when you have money, you will also buy good things. In this way, the more good things you need, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will receive more taxes, and the people of the world will become richer. If you do this, It is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, exhausting water to catch fish! "Wei Hao sat there, staring at them and said.

"This?" Fang Xuanling and the others heard it, and looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"However, I guess my father will not agree. After all, the profit here is too great, and His Majesty is not willing!" Wei Hao said with a wry smile while those people sat there thinking about Wei Hao. If so, then go to eat, those ministers can't eat at all, Wei Hao didn't eat too much,
After eating, Wei Hao returned to his mansion,

As for Fang Xuanling, who was summoned to Ganlu Hall, Fang Xuanling also told Li Shimin the exact words of Wei Hao,
Li Shimin was shocked when he heard it, and walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back,

Even if Fang Xuanling left, Li Shimin still considered Wei Hao's words, especially what he said to Wei Hao, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will take over all the workshops in the world in the future, and the people will suffer terribly, and if the people in the world are allowed to buy those shares, Then the people in the world will have money, and if the people have money, they will buy more and better things, and the court will receive more taxes. In addition, not to compete with the people for profit is also what Wei Hao mentioned several times ,

Li Shimin tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. After waking up the next day, Li Shimin said to Wang De: "You send someone to Shen Yong's mansion, let Shen Yong come to the palace, and say that I want to see him. See him now."

"Yes!" Wang De heard it, and immediately sent someone out. The palace gate has not been opened yet.Then Li Shimin went to the greenhouse, eating breakfast, thinking about what Wei Hao said,
Before he knew it, the sun in the east had risen and shone in the sun room. Sitting there, Li Shimin began to boil water and make tea.

After a while, Wei Hao came over.

"Father, is there something urgent?" Wei Hao asked Li Shimin after entering.

"It's not urgent, it's just, uh, have you eaten yet?" Li Shimin thought of this and asked first.

"No, it's not like I just finished practicing martial arts, washed and cooked, and came here before I had time to eat!" Wei Hao said standing there.

"Sit down, sit down and talk, go, get some food, get more, buns or dumplings are fine!" Li Shimin said to an eunuch beside him.

"Yes!" The eunuch also went out.

"Shen Yong, what you said at your father-in-law's house yesterday, Fang Xuanling came to find me later, after I heard it, I didn't sleep all night, I couldn't sleep, my father knows, you child, you want to Datang is powerful, since you object to handing it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you must be right. After all, you are not short of this money, and you can give it to anyone. If you can’t give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there is naturally a reason why you can’t give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I believe in you!" Li Shimin sat there and said to Wei Hao.

"Thank you, Father, Father, you have got to the point. I really don't need that money. Besides, the shares are given to anyone, but they can be given to the royal family, any family, but not to the imperial court. Tang, Chaotang is an institution that manages the affairs of the world, not an institution that makes money, collecting taxes is not making money,
And if Chaotang ends up in person, is there still a way for the workshops in the world to survive?They will definitely not end now, but, father, money is poison. Once they get used to the Ministry of Civil Affairs having so much money, if one day it is less, they will first find ways to get more money. It may be that many workshop owners are unlucky, father, I have no selfish intentions in this matter, you know, at the beginning I was going to give [-]% to the royal family! "Wei Hao heard Li Shimin's words, and said to Li Shimin with a little emotion,
Hearing what Wei Hao said, Li Shimin patted Wei Haocai's shoulder again and again, expressing that he knew what Wei Hao was thinking and reassuring Wei Hao.
