Chapter 381 You Despise Me

Chapter 377

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian sat there chatting, Li Chengqian said the importance of what Wei Hao did, which made Li Shimin very pleased.

"Very good, Gao Ming, if you can see this, it means you understand. Therefore, the reform of the imperial examination is imperative. At the same time, it also allows us to be more comfortable when facing the aristocratic family, and we can advance or retreat.

Therefore, this year's imperial examination is very important. You need to go to the marking side, and even say, do a spot check to see if there are any talents that have been missed! "Li Shimin confessed to Li Chengqian.

"Okay, Royal Father, I will go over if I have time these few days." Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"In addition, can the straight road from Chang'an to Luoyang be completed this year? Do you still have that much money?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Yes, father, Qian, although there are not many in the warehouse now, the materials were prepared last year, and the cement was paid for. Basically, it is only labor costs. This son's side should not be a big problem. If When the turnover is not working, I will ask my mother to borrow some, and I will return it when the time comes, this straight road, I want to repair it by myself!" Li Chengqian sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, this is how you do things. You have to start and finish. You are also a father, and you should set an example for your children. So far, you have done a good job. Father is very happy and gratified!" Li Shimin rarely went Praise Li Chengqian,

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was very excited. Since he was a child, Li Shimin rarely praised himself, but now he praised himself for the first time, so that he couldn't react immediately, but he subconsciously said to Li Shimin: "Thank you, father, for the compliment!"

"Well, you will also buy it at the workshop?" Li Shimin then asked.

"Yes, father, I think that I may have many children in the future. At that time, those children will definitely need money. Giving them these shares at that time can be regarded as an explanation to them. ,
Although the East Palace can make money now, in the future, the money in the East Palace will be the money of the court, that is, money from internal funds. This money cannot be given to them. Therefore, only the things that the East Palace bought by itself can be given to them. As Father Huang said, those who belong to the court belong to the court, and those who belong to the minister belong to the minister. This needs to be clearly distinguished. " Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, buy some, you, have more children and raise them well!" Li Shimin also nodded, without saying anything else.

"Actually, Father, what Erchen wants to say is that you should also buy some. After all, Erchen has so many younger brothers. Although they and Erchen are not siblings of the same mother, they are also Erchen's younger brothers, right? Although still young,

But once he grows up, he also needs to spend money. The third brother is very poor. This time he went to Shu, and his minister gave him 2000 yuan. I hope he can live well in Shu, but once the other brothers grow up Well, if they don't have money, I'm worried that they will mess up. After all, being a prince also requires a lot of expenses! " Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin immediately.

"Well, when the time comes, the father will give them some of the shares. The court has given them enough money. You can't rely on them. Sometimes, they still need to do things by themselves. That’s right, look at you, the Hu merchants are doing very well now, I heard that it has been sold to the Jieri Dynasty?” Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian as he spoke.

Li Chengqian heard it, and immediately looked around.

"Let's all go out!" Li Shimin said while sitting there, and the guards hidden inside went out immediately.

"Father, my son is about to report to you!" Li Chengqian took out the information about Jieri Dynasty from his bosom as he spoke. "Father, the land of the Jieri Dynasty is much better than our land. Their land is very flat, and you see, according to the information, they do have elephant troops. There are many elephants. Much,

At present, our businessmen have not fully grasped the language there, and there are very few people who come to Tang Dynasty on festivals. I have been looking for people to find them, but it is very difficult. I want to know more about Jieri Dynasty. Many things, but the language barrier,
Father, look, it says that the Jieri Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of troops, and those nobles own a lot of land. The entire land of the Jieri Dynasty belongs to the king. The king can give it to whoever he wants, ordinary people There is no land! " Li Chengqian sat there and introduced Li Shimin.

"The land belongs to the king, so he can give it to whoever he wants? If you do this, big things will happen. Didn't the people of Jieri Dynasty overthrow such a king?" Sitting there, Li Shimin also felt very strange.

"I don't know, anyway, the intelligence said that the people over there are not living well. Although their land is more fertile than ours, their people are also very hardworking.
However, their people seem to be poorer than the people of our Tang Dynasty. Our people in the Tang Dynasty are poor because of the wars and chaos in the past few years, but now they are getting better every year. I believe that in a few years at most, the people of the Tang Dynasty will People's living standards will definitely improve! "Sitting there, Li Chengqian said to those Li Shimins.

"Well, let's find out more about the situation over there. According to Shen Yong's point of view, the Jieri Dynasty is such a good land. If we don't take it, we will be sorry for ourselves. However, we can't do it now. We still need to wait until our people become richer. Can't go on fighting,
Let’s put this Jieri Dynasty at the end. First of all, we need to solve the opponents in the northwest and north, and then Goguryeo in the northeast, especially Goguryeo. A big loss, I don't want to suffer such a loss again, if I want to fight, I have to wipe him out completely, and directly merge him into the territory of Datang. "Sitting there, Li Shimin said domineeringly.

"Yes, I am also collecting news about Goguryeo, but there is good news that the nobles of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla bought a lot of porcelain and the exquisite faille of my Tang Dynasty. I believe that , continue to sell this item to them, it can still weaken their strength,
In addition, Erchen also brought back a large amount of grain, cattle and sheep from Silla. Now there are special people doing this. In the northeast border area, a large amount of grain came in. The place where Erchen stored military food was handed over to the local garrison. ! " Li Chengqian sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Okay! I received the news that this matter will continue to be done, and the food will continue to be stored there. Once the troops need to go out, they don't need to mobilize too much food from the Central Plains. This is a very good job!" Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian say this. , said very happily.

"Thank you, Father. My son is also thinking about it. It's not bad to put those grains over there. There is not a big grain shortage in the Central Plains, and now that the common people have Quyuanli, it seems that the production will increase, basically increasing by [-]%." , However, the population of my Tang Dynasty is increasing, and I am worried that there will be enough food to feed so many people in the future!" Li Chengqian nodded, and then said worriedly.

"This is what my father is worried about. Sometimes my father goes out of the palace to look outside and finds that there are many children. My father is very happy. When I inquire, I find that there are many children in every household. I am even more happy. But to support one person , needs food, money is only superficial, the key is food and clothes, without these, children will not grow up!" Li Shimin said with a sigh.

"Father, my son believes that the problem of food needs to be well planned in advance, otherwise, once there is a famine, it will be troublesome. This matter, father should discuss with those ministers to see how to deal with it. To solve this problem, and ask Shen Yong, Shen Yong must have a solution!" Sitting there, Li Chengqian suggested to Li Shimin.

"Well, fine! This matter should be discussed early!" Li Shimin agreed,

After a while, Wang De came in and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, Duke Xia is here!"

"Let him in!" Li Shimin said immediately,

After Wei Hao came in, he found that Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were both there.

"I've seen my father, I've seen His Highness the Crown Prince!" Wei Hao said, cupping his hands.

"Come on, sit down and talk. It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I call you to sit down!" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao to sit down, and Wei Hao looked at him depressed. "Why? The last time I saw you was when the imperial examinations had just started. It's been a few days? Didn't you know to come to the palace?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said unhappily.

"Father, you are fine. I have a lot of things to do in Wannian County. Now I am registering those who want to buy shares. I need to keep an eye on them. I am afraid that something unexpected will happen, right?" Wei Hao looked helplessly. Li Shimin said!
"I'm not as busy governing a country as you are. Would you mind governing a Wannian County?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao with disdain and said, Wei Hao had no choice but to roll his eyes.

"By the way, a minister impeached you today, saying that Wannian County charged one penny for the registration fee, and there are hundreds of pennies a day. If you calculate it, you may have thousands of pennies by then. If you talk about this money, there may be problems!"

"Nonsense, who do you look down on? There will still be problems after a thousand years. Father, he is insulting me. I am worrying now. How should I spend my fortune? I suddenly discovered that I am so rich!" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he shouted,
Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao suspiciously: "Didn't you always know that you were rich? Every day in court, you called those ministers poor ghosts!"

"It's different, father, eh, I'm so sad. I suddenly found out that my family's annual income is almost 30 yuan. Then, father, what do you say, how should I spend it?" Wei Hao said Then he looked at Li Shimin.

"Ah?" Li Shimin and Li Chengqian looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"Really, it's 30! I'm not bragging! Why don't you trust people?" Wei Hao looked at the two of them and said helplessly.

"You, why do you have so much money?" Li Shimin asked again in shock.

"Father, look, there are a total of more than 40 workshops. I calculate it based on the lowest income, and I have 21 yuan a year. There are also restaurants in my family, and my paper workshops and pottery workshops. Shares, do the math, do you have any?" Wei Hao sat there, snapped his fingers, and asked them, both of them nodded.

"Hey, father, how about I build a library in every state capital in the country? I estimate that a library will cost 1 yuan. I will build about 20 a year first?" Wei Hao sat down. There, I looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"You, you, wait a minute!" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao not to speak, he wanted to slow down, thinking to himself, this kid has so much money, this is simply, no wonder calling those ministers poor ghosts every day, don't talk about those The minister is me. In front of Wei Hao, I am a poor ghost. Although I control the wealth of the world, I can't spend that wealth as I want!
"No, don't build the library first, why don't you build the library, because there are not so many books, you let the library in Chang'an continue to collect the books transcribed by the students, after transcribing them, save them first, and then build a library The book, just repair the library?

Now, you build a palace for my father, according to your family's model. It was agreed last year, I want to build a palace, and I will build it according to your family's method. You pay the money, but my father will not take it I'll give you a penny, I'll give it to Zhenxiu, you son of a bitch, so rich, how rich are you? "Li Shimin immediately stopped Wei Hao and asked Wei Hao to build a palace for himself.

"Ah?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in shock.

"Ah, what, that's how it is done. Originally, I wanted to build the palace, but those ministers objected, saying that there is still a lot of money to be spent in the court. They were refuted abruptly by those ministers. I said that I would use internal funds to repair it. , They are also right, saying that I am building a lot, regardless of the life and death of the people, hey, I will leave this matter to you! Anyway, there are not so many books now, so why build so many library buildings?" Li Shimin continued to say to Wei Hao with.

"Yes, if you want a book soon, I will print it!" Wei Hao said immediately.

"Yin?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao in confusion.

"Father, do you look down on me? I found out, you actually look down on me, books can still trouble me? It's not easy to get books, as long as I have books, I can make thousands of copies for you in a few days! "Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin angrily and said.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian looked at Wei Hao in a daze again, Li Shimin was dumbfounded, when did he look down on this son-in-law?
"You bastard, what are you talking about? Heaven and earth conscience, when did the emperor look down on you? Do you think you can print books? Woodblock printing? You bastard, do you know how much it costs? But that's right, anyway, you don't lack Money? However, doing this requires a lot of manpower and material resources, do you really want to build a library?" Li Shimin said and looked at Wei Hao again.

"Well! But, you can build a palace if you want, I'll build one for you, but where is the open space?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Next to it, isn't there a small garden next to it? After it's built, let's do it there!" Li Shimin said immediately.

"Okay, let's fix it, but, build a palace, um, father, if all of them are based on the most expensive ones, my income may not be enough for a year!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Not enough? You have at least 30 guan a year, which is not enough, no, what kind of repairs do you want to make, is it not enough? 30 guan can even repair half of the palace!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked,

Wei Hao heard it, and looked at Li Shimin with contempt.

"Okay, bastard, there is not enough money, you borrow money from your internal funds, and you will return it when you get the money next year!" Li Shimin then looked at Wei Hao and said,

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin in shock, this, isn't it right, Wei Hao is building a palace for you, there is not enough money, and he still has to borrow money from internal funds and pay it back?There is no such reason, isn't this extortion of money?
"Okay, fix it this year?" Wei Hao nodded and said indifferently.

"I will start repairing tomorrow, starting tomorrow, do you hear that?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.

"Let's do it!" Wei Hao nodded again and said, while Li Chengqian looked at the two of them incomprehensibly, one dared to say it, and the other dared to agree?what is happening?
"After the palace is finished, take this money and do whatever you like. However, learn from your father and do something good. But the library, don't build it so fast. I also found a problem. If there are too many scholars , everyone wants to seek an official position, but it is not beautiful. If they fail to meet their requirements, they may become chaotic. You have to control it, cultivate slowly, and let people know that you are cultivating. Already!" Li Shimin explained to Wei Hao.

"Okay, but it won't last!" Wei Hao continued to look at Li Shimin and said in embarrassment.

"Then you should find a way to spend, and find a way to prodigal!" Li Shimin said, staring at Wei Hao.

"It's okay, how about I will be responsible for your private money in the future?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"I still need your money. I have money at home. When will I spend the money? Would your mother not give it to you?" Li Shimin immediately looked at Wei Hao and said with disdain, and Wei Hao agreed when he heard it.

"Okay, it's your job to be rich, who dares to say anything? You didn't steal, or robbed, and you got the right way. If you have money, you have money. Who can rob you? Your father is happy if you are rich." Well, when the imperial court runs out of money, the emperor can ask you for help!" Li Shimin said, patting Wei Hao on the shoulder.

"Hey, father, don't worry, it's a small matter! My son is not good at other things, but making money!" Wei Hao immediately patted his chest and said with a smile.

"Well, no wonder you bastard, you don't want to be on duty in the court. The little money on duty is not enough for your warehouse!" Li Shimin said with a smile and shook his head.

"Hey, how can it be? The main reason is that I don't want to be impeached by those ministers." Wei Hao immediately said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Well, Shenyong, you have some skills. The emperor knows this. The emperor is very satisfied with the reform of the imperial examination. He is ready to accept it completely and implement it. Now those ministers feel uncomfortable, it is worse than eating flies. It’s all uncomfortable, you boy just slapped their mouths fiercely on their faces!” Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao with a smile and said, calling him here today is mainly to talk about this matter.
