Chapter 369 The New Scheme
Chapter 365

Wei Hao sat there, talking to Li Shimin about his worries. Li Shimin patted Wei Hao on the shoulder when he heard it. He believed in Wei Hao.

"Well, Shenyong, Father knows you. Father heard what you said last night, and he didn't sleep all night. What you said was in his mind. However, Father has a question to ask you now. You Answer the emperor truthfully." Li Shimin sat there and said to Wei Hao.

"Father, please speak!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said.

"Do you think it's better for the royal family or for the people of the world?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.Wei Hao heard it and smiled wryly.

Seeing his expression like this, Li Shimin knew that it must be good for the people of the world, so he continued to ask: "Then why didn't you say that you would give it to the people of the world?"

"Father, with so much money, who wouldn't be tempted? If I say I want to give it to the people of the world, what will the civil and military ministers in the court and those in the royal family think of me? In fact, Father, the ministers really want to If you want to do something for Tang Dynasty, I just want to say that there are too many scruples, let’s talk about the people in Chang’an City first, before last year, the people’s life was obviously more bitter than before, even worse than during the reign of Wude.” Wei Hao smiled wryly. He looked at Li Shimin and said.

"How is it possible?" Li Shimin heard it, looked at Wei Hao in surprise and said.

"Father, during the reign of Wude, the prices of goods in Chang'an City had not risen, so the people in Chang'an City could buy a lot of things with the money they earned. But now, things have also risen, but the income of the people has not increased. Are you poor?
That is to say, since the year before last, there have been more workshops, and the people have an extra income. This income can allow them to live well, so last year, there were more and more workers in the workshops. It's easier, and Erchen runs these workshops just to change the lives of the people in Chang'an! "Wei Hao sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, but if you give the shares to ordinary people, ordinary people may not be able to buy them. According to what you said, ordinary people don't have such financial resources, and even a large number of state officials don't have so much. Money, at most the family has so much money." Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Father, my son wants to divide the shares of the workshop into 1 shares, each worth 10 yuan. I hold 1000 shares, the royal family holds 1000 shares, the craftsman holds 1000 shares, and the remaining 7000 shares. Sell ​​them all, that is to say, ordinary people can buy a share as long as they have 10 pennies.
Each registered person can only buy 10 shares at most. In this way, more people can buy it. This is my consideration. The royal family still wants to hold it. If the Ministry of Civil Affairs also wants to hold it , then you can also give 1000 shares to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, this is the limit, too much is too much! "Wei Hao sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Huh!" Li Shimin heard it, stood up, and stared at Wei Hao.

"What's the matter, father?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin incomprehensibly.

"Shen Yong, if that's the case, how much money can you get for that share in a year?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"At least 1 penny a year, and at most, maybe 10 pennies. Father, this is a long-term business. Those people who buy it will treat it as an additional business with money. Although it is not much, but It’s better than nothing, the point is, if they buy 10 shares, it will be very good, and if it’s good, they will have 100 yuan a year!” Sitting there, Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"Well, if it's closed down, how to explain to the people?" Li Shimin continued to ask Wei Hao.

"Father, you must make it clear to them before you buy that if the workshop is not well managed, it will go bankrupt. If it goes bankrupt, the workshop and the person in charge of the workshop cannot be held accountable. Before buying, they need to think clearly, high risk There is a high return, if you don’t agree, then don’t buy it, in addition, the workshop will leave a maximum of [-]% of the profit every year for development, and the excess money will be shared with them!” Wei Hao sat there, watching Li Shimin said,
At this time, Wang De came over with food.

"Come on, Shenyong, you eat first, eat first!" Li Shimin immediately greeted Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao was not polite, just sat there and started eating, while Li Shimin was walking slowly in the study, thinking of Wei Hao The method just mentioned is indeed good. According to what Wei Hao said, then a workshop can bring at least 600 households to make money.

"By the way, Shen Yong, there is one thing I don't understand. If there are more people buying, how do you ensure fairness? For example, if 1 people want to buy, then those rich people will have an advantage relatively speaking!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Father, the lottery is a fair lottery. Whoever gets the lottery will be the one. There is nothing to say, the lottery will be drawn on the spot!" Wei Hao, you said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, Shen Yong, I will immediately discuss the method you mentioned with those ministers. Since you think that giving it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs will cause such great harm, and I think it may not be a good thing to give it to the royal family, then we will give it to the royal family." Common people, you have more than 40 workshops. If it is good, it can also enable more than 2 families to live a good life. More than 2 households,

If there are more than 2 households in Datang with an income of more than 10 guan, it is actually not bad. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the people in Chang’an, most of them, have an annual income of only 4 guan, and most of them are still If you can't reach it, how can you live with 4 pennies! "Li Shimin sat there and said.

"Yes, but there are quite a few people with more than 10 pennies. If they buy it, at least they have money, and they can hire the poor to work. In this way, the life of the poor will be easier.

In addition, if the workshop is opened, if people are hired to work, those workers can save a lot of money a year. 8 pennies, if a family has two people working in the workshop, the income is still considerable! "Wei Hao nodded while eating.

"Okay, okay, Shenyong, I will do as you said, but I still need to let the ministers understand, this is here, you write a memorial, and tomorrow, minister, I will read your memorial at the court , Let those ministers say, you should also explain in detail, and discuss the harm to the royal family and the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao heard it, nodded, unable to speak, his mouth was full of food.

"There's soup, there's soup, don't choke on the soup!" Seeing Wei Hao like this, Li Shimin immediately said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded and drank the soup.

"It's still Shenyong, you think too far. Father knows that if you give it to the Minbu, it will be as you said. Ten years later, all the wealth in the world will be collected by the Minbu. At that time, the world will be miserable. I don't want to die in old age. , being scolded by the people all over the world!" Li Shimin smiled at Wei Hao and said.

"Father, no, you know the sufferings of the people in the world, and you will consider them. That's why this time, my son dared to object so much. If it was another emperor, my son would not dare to do this!" Wei Haotun He took the food in his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Eat slowly, don't worry. I know that you are a kind-hearted child. No one has ever said that you will distribute wealth to the people. You have done it. Like your father, you are dedicated to doing good deeds." people, so good people are rewarded,
There has never been a person like you who has no military exploits, but relies on such strength to become the Duke of the country, and the people of the world are also convinced. I also know that many people will go to your father when they encounter difficulties. As long as your father If you can help, you will definitely help. Few people can do this kind of kindness, and you are better than your father. You are leading the people in the world to make money, and you are also doing good deeds! "Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao kindly and said,

For this son-in-law, he likes it from the bottom of his heart. Although he likes to fight, this is his character. If he disagrees with him, he will quarrel with others. When there is a quarrel, Wei Hao wants to use his fists to solve the problem. He also persuaded him. but it didn't work,

But fortunately, Wei Hao has a sense of proportion in fighting. He has fought twice, and Kong Yingda is the one who is talking about it. However, there is nothing wrong with it. It will be fine after a few days. To bully ordinary people.

"Father, I am not as noble as you said. I just said that I hope Datang will get better and better. In this way, father and queen will not have to worry so much." Wei Hao said with a smile.

"This child, okay, you will go to the next door to write the memorial later, and when you are finished, give it to me. After your memorial comes out, I will let the six ministers and other important officials read it and let them know your thoughts. I support you I also hope that those ministers can also support my ideas." Sitting there, Li Shimin said to Wei Hao very happily,

Soon Wei Hao finished eating, took an empty memorial, and went to a side room next door, where there were also several eunuchs serving,

And Li Shimin went to the harem. He needed to say hello to Empress Changsun. Yesterday, Empress Changsun was also in a hurry. She was afraid that this matter would change, and those ministers would impeach Wei Hao. The queen is also very happy.

"Okay, okay, that's good. In this case, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will take [-]% of the shares, and the royal family will also hold [-]% of the shares, and the remaining six will be sold to the people of the world. Okay, what did Shen Yong think of it?" The eldest grandson queen After hearing this, he said to Empress Changsun very excitedly.

"You have no objection here?" Li Shimin asked.

"No, I have no objection, Your Majesty, it's so good, this child, it's really not easy!" Empress Changsun shook her head and said, at this time, Li Lizhi was outside.

"Mother, mother!" Li Lizhi shouted loudly.

"Come in, this child!" Empress Changsun shouted with a smile. After a while, Li Lizhi came in, saw Li Shimin was there, and immediately cupped her hands and said, "I have seen Father, Father, why are you still here so early in the morning?" here?"

As he spoke, he smiled and sat beside Li Shimin.

"Girl, are you so busy?" Li Shimin said while stroking Li Lizhi's head.

"Of course I'm busy. The paper workshop and the ceramic workshop need to prepare for production. There are not many goods in the warehouse. We need to prepare raw materials. Once the weather is warmer, we will start!" Li Lizhi nodded and said. "It seems that it is not easy to set up a workshop!" Li Shimin said with a smile again.

"It's not easy at all. There are many things to do. You have to calculate the cost, and you have to consider those merchants. They know what is needed in the market, and only those merchants can bring first-hand market news.

My daughter has a discussion with those businessmen once a month, invites them to have dinner in Juxian Building, and listens to their suggestions for our ceramic workshop, such as needing more of that type of pottery this time, which type of pottery is not easy to sell, This needs to be heard! " Li Lizhi said to Li Shimin.

"Hey, girl is not bad, you know this?" Li Shimin smiled and praised his daughter.

"That's, but, I heard that the court is going to take away [-]% of Shenyong's workshops?" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Well, you know, what's your opinion?" Li Shimin questioned Li Li.

"Cut!" Li Lizhi immediately pouted.

"Why do you have such an expression, tell your father well!" Empress Changsun saw Li Lizhi like this, and immediately stared at Li Lizhi and said.

"Well, you dead girl, you know how to bully dad!" Li Shimin touched Li Lizhi's head and said.

"Hee hee, Dad, it's really not good, not to mention how profitable those workshops are. In other words, the businessmen before the ceramic workshops are all free, and the money they earn is their own.

But now, as far as I know, there are local officials behind those businessmen. Although those officials are not directly involved, there must be their relatives. If you think about it, the ceramic business in a state capital is like this. If Shenyong's workshops are handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I really don't know what will happen to those workshops in the end. They will be yellow in three to five years.

Father, in fact, it is best to give money to the royal family, and then the royal family will give the money to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is much better, and the workshop can also develop very well! " Li Lizhi sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Is there such a thing?" Li Shimin heard, frowning and said.

"Normal, it's all the same! However, those businessmen also have shares. They haven't been taken away, and they can still leave some money. Many businessmen asked their daughters for help at the beginning, hoping that I could give them money. Talk about it, Shenyong refuses to let it go, saying that you can't cut off the family's wealth,
However, we can spread the word, we believe that those businessmen who cooperate with us, new businessmen, we don’t recognize them, and we will recruit new businessmen at that time, so as to preserve the wealth of those businessmen. well enough! " Li Lizhi sat there and said.

"Hmph!" Li Shimin stood up very unhappy at the moment.

"Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun also looked at Li Shimin worriedly.

"That's unreasonable! Why didn't Shenyong tell me about their actions so boldly?" Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi angrily and said.

"How do you say it? You can take care of it. Those officials didn't participate directly, but their family members. If you can't find out, what should you do?
Shen Yong said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples. Sometimes, this is the law of social survival. Sometimes those businessmen also need those officials, which forms a kind of bond! " Li Lizhi sat there and said to Li Shimin, Li Shimin sighed when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, what Shen Yong said is not unreasonable!" Empress Changsun stood there, looking at Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin sighed: "I know, can I not know? It's just, hey!"

"Father, it's okay, Shen Yong said, take care of them first, when those officials commit crimes, one ransacked the house, all the money will be returned to the court, and the people will applaud, I heard that Shen Yong is still with the king Uncle specifically talked about this matter." Li Lizhi said with a smile, putting her arms around Li Shimin's arm,
Li Shimin looked at this girl dotingly: "Oh, have we talked about it? That's good! In the future, if you encounter such a thing, you need to tell your father that you can't let the people in the world think that the court is letting those officials do nothing!"

"I know, by the way, Queen Mother, what do you want me for?" Li Lizhi said, looking at Empress Changsun. Yesterday, Empress Changsun was Li Lizhi, and Li Lizhi was too busy to come here.

"Well, it's about those workshops. Do you think it's better for the royal family or the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" Empress Changsun questioned Li Li, and now she also wanted to hear what Li Lizhi meant.

"It's better to give to the royal family than to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If you give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, those workshops will probably not be able to work for a few years. Those officials will definitely intervene in the affairs of the workshops, but they don't understand. It will be fine in the first two years. When they know The workshop is very profitable, and I will definitely be tempted.

At that time, the profits from the workshop may flow into the hands of the officials. No, it is better to give it to the royal family. At least the royal family will not do such a thing, and the money can also enter the Ministry of Civil Affairs! "Li Lizhi thought about it, and said to Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin was a little surprised when he heard it, and immediately looked at Li Li and asked, "You also have such considerations?"

"That's for sure, give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it's really not good, something will happen!" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin seriously and said, Li Shimin nodded when he heard it,
At the moment, at the Temple of Ganlu, Wei Hao is also thinking about writing a memorial. At the beginning, he wrote it on a blank paper. After confirming that there is no problem, Wei Hao will write it on the memorial. After thinking for a long time,
Outside the Ganlu Hall, Fang Xuanling and the others were also waiting. Li Shimin summoned them early in the morning, hoping that they would come over, but up to now, Li Shimin has not called them in, and it is said that they are not yet in the Ganlu Hall.

"Fang Pushe, you said this matter, can it be done? I also understand Shenyong's side, the opinions are very big, and the problems he raised are really difficult to solve." Li Jing has arrived at Fang Xuanling at this moment. Beside, looked at Fang Xuanling worriedly and said.

"Yeah, it's very difficult to solve! Do you have a plan from the Ministry of Officials?" Fang Xuanling looked at Gao Shilian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"It's difficult, there's too much resistance, and now those officials will definitely oppose it!" Gao Shilian said with a sigh. He had no other choice but to raise the salaries of craftsmen. .
