Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 402 Empress Zhangsun Intercedes
Chapter 398

Kong Ying first came to report the results of the college's imperial examination. Wei Hao was very satisfied when he learned of the result. It is the honor of the college that so many students have passed the imperial exam. My son, to have so many children from poor families pass, has met Li Shimin's expectations. In the court, there is also a need for a large number of officials from poor families. In this case, Li Shimin will have more choices in arranging officials in the future.

Kong Ying sat in Wei Hao's mansion for a while, and then left. Wei Hao returned to his study and began to write a memorial to report the affairs of the college. After all, after spending so much money, a result is always needed For the above, this result, it is good to be able to shoot that way,
After finishing writing, Wei Hao asked someone to send it to Zhongshu Province, and the memorial will be sent to Li Shimin's desk at that time. After finishing writing, Wei Hao came out and asked the servants at home, where did his father go?

"Young Master, Master, the housekeeper and the housekeepers have all gone to Zhuangzi, and the spring sowing will be soon, Master and the others must go and see!" The servant said to Wei Hao,

Wei Hao nodded when he heard it, and stopped asking. Instead, he rested in his mansion for a while, and then went out to go to the county government. He also needs to go to the county government to sit down.

At night, Wei Hao returned to the mansion and found Wei Furong there to settle accounts.

"Father, is everything about spring plowing arranged? Do you need me to go?" Wei Hao walked over and asked.

"It has been arranged, that is, some farmers have no seeds in their homes, and they have eaten all the seeds. They need to borrow seeds from the house. This is calculated by the person in charge of each village. The old man calculated that more than 1 catties of seeds are needed! Tomorrow Send someone to take it there." Sitting there, Wei Furong said.

"Father, why don't they even keep the seeds?" Wei Hao heard this, and looked at Wei Furong in shock.

"There is a lot of people in the family, there is no way, or you will starve to death. In the past few years, those who give birth to children are like hatchling chickens. If you don't go there for a few months, you will find that many children have emerged. This child has grown up. It's even more edible!" Sitting there, Wei Furong put away the paper and said to Wei Hao.

"It's a good thing, isn't it? In the past few years, there has been no war, so there are more children!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"A good thing is a good thing, but there is not so much farmland, how to feed those children, these days, the old man sent a lot of hoes, plowed to various villages, and now they are opening up wasteland, not opening up wasteland, it is difficult,
Now it takes four mu of land to support one person. A family of eight needs more than 30 mu of land. If the rent is included, it needs 40 mu of land. A family of eight is fine with two older children. Without children, it is difficult to plant 40 mu, but 30 mu is difficult.
So, the old man is also worried, thinking about reducing or exempting some rents, it can’t be done like this, otherwise, those landowners in Chang’an City will scold us to death, let’s not reduce it, watching those people suffer, the old man will I can't stand it, the family doesn't lack those rent money, and it doesn't matter if it's less than [-]%, but things don't work that way! "Wei Furong sat there and said with a sigh.

"The output of grain is still too low, it won't work like this, and it's not a problem to continue to open up wasteland!" Wei Hao also said while rubbing his head,
"Is there any way? You can't starve to death, the output has been like this for many years! We still need to open up wasteland, and we have to work hard, and the cow dung in our Zhuangzi can only be used in our own Zhuangzi. The common people don’t have any fertilizer to fertilize those wastelands, so the yield of those wastelands is extremely low, it’s good to have 50 catties per mu of land, and the seeds cost five or six catties, hey!” Wei Furong sat there, stroking his beard, Also said with a sigh.

"Look, if there is a large-scale drought, especially after five or six years, big things will happen, and there will probably be chaos!" Wei Furong continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Can't you?" Wei Hao heard it, looked at Wei Furong in surprise and said.

"Why not, when those children grow up a little bit, they will need more food. When there is a large-scale drought, something will definitely happen!" Wei Furong stared at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao nodded when he heard it. It seems that the food problem needs to be solved. If it is not solved, it will be really troublesome.Thinking of this, Wei Hao thought, it is better to experiment some farmland by himself, otherwise, there is no way to cultivate high-yield fertile fields,

In addition, fertilizers are also a problem. The grain yields of future generations are high, one is planting, and the other is pesticides and fertilizers. Without the guarantee of these two, it is difficult to have high yields.

"What are you thinking about?" Wei Furong asked immediately when he saw Wei Hao sitting there thinking about something.

"Ah, oh, I didn't think about anything, Dad, since the family's affairs are arranged, I won't go to see it. There are still many things to do in Wannian County, and they are also preparing for spring planting now." Wei Hao looked Then Wei Furong asked.

"Well, I'm busy with your family matters. Now I can help as much as I can!" Wei Furong nodded, knowing that Wei Hao has a lot of things to do now that he is the county magistrate of Wannian County.

Now the people here in Dongcheng, when they saw Wei Furong, they all cupped their hands and said thank you, and Wei Furong also heard the people say good things about Wei Hao, saying that this county magistrate does things for the people, so Wei Furong is also very proud. Son, you are still capable.

The next day, after Wei Hao got up, he continued to practice martial arts. After breakfast, Wei Hao continued to inspect. The matters in the county government were handed over to Du Yuan, especially those related to cases. Let Du Yuan deal with it, and I just went to open a court and have a trial. Fortunately, I haven't found any complicated cases yet.

When it was almost noon, a eunuch came to Wei Hao on horseback, saying that he wanted Wei Hao to go to Lizheng Hall for dinner.Only then did Wei Hao remember that he needed to go to the Lizheng Hall for dinner, so he led his people to the palace. When he arrived at the Lizheng Hall, he found that Li Shimin and Li Lizhi were also there.

"I have seen my father!" Wei Hao went over and saluted Li Shimin.

"Well, did you go to the construction site?" Li Shimin asked when he saw that there was still mud on Wei Hao's boots.

"Yes, isn't it time to prepare for spring sowing? I also need to find out what the people are still lacking. In addition, there are many things on the construction site. Get it done!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile and said.

"Come and sit down and drink tea!" Li Shimin nodded and called Wei Hao to sit down.

"Shen Yong, come, eat preserved fruit!" Empress Changsun came over with food with a smile.

"Thank you, Empress, for letting Empress worry!" Wei Hao stood up and said to Empress Changsun.

"Thank you, you kid, too. I didn't know to come to the Legislative Hall to say something. You know that the internal funds have been allocated 100 million yuan, and you are still short of your [-] yuan. Don't do this next time I'm short of money, I'll find my mother later, and my mother will find a way for you!" Empress Changsun immediately told Wei Hao.

"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother!" Wei Hao continued to thank.

"Sit down, drink tea and chat with your father, you are too busy now, you rarely come once or twice a month, in the future, you should come more often!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao.

"Yes, Queen Mother, I'll come over when I'm free!" Wei Hao smiled and said to Empress Changsun, and sat down at the same time.

"Wannian County has done a lot of things this year, but it has done very well. From the current point of view, you have done very well!" Li Shimin praised Wei Hao.

"Hey!" Wei Hao laughed proudly when he heard it,

Li Lizhi next to him heard it, and said to Li Shimin with a smile, "Do you know how busy he is now? It's hard to find him for a meal now, but Father, my daughter will ask you for leave in advance. The day after tomorrow, Siyuan, Shenyong and I will go out for a walk outside the city together, okay?"

"Well, yes, of course!" Li Shimin nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Also, father, Shen Yong was obviously tricked this time, and someone else set him up!" Li Lizhi continued to say to Li Shimin.

"Lizhi, it's all over, it's all over." Wei Hao immediately reminded Li Lizhi that there are some things that Empress Zhangsun should not know. Although she may have already known it, she can't say it publicly.

"It should be said that Shen Yong took this money not for corruption, but for the construction of Wannian County, and this money was originally a part that should be given by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs can distribute the money. It was originally given by Shen Yong, so why those ministers impeached Shen Yong, didn't they just look at Shen Yong's honesty and young age?
Fortunately, they still consider themselves old ministers. Those old ministers don’t know how to support the young people, don’t know how to remind the young people, and deliberately wait for Shen Yong to make mistakes, so that they can impeach Shen Yong. Duke?But this duke of the country was also made by Shen Yong through his own merits. Those people only thought that Shen Yong had two dukes of the country, but no one thought about the merits of Shen Yong! "Li Lizhi continued to sit there, complaining.

"Well, the girl is right, but you can't interfere with this kind of thing!" Li Shimin said to Li Lizhi.

"I didn't intervene, I'm just not convinced, why bully Shen Yong like this?" Li Lizhi sat there pouted and said.

"Well, Shen Yong was indeed wronged this time, but there was also a fault first, so he should be more careful next time." Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Yes, I remember, if I don't have any money, I will ask my father and queen mother for it!" Wei Hao nodded immediately and said, Li Shimin was not angry at what Li Lizhi said, so what else could he say?It shows that Li Shimin knows it in his heart, but he just said that he can't do anything to those ministers who impeached him.

"Girl, here, you are not allowed to talk about court affairs or other things." Empress Changsun also said to Li Lizhi.

"Understood, I'm just not convinced, so many people bully Shen Yong." Li Lizhi immediately put his arms around Queen Changsun's arm, and continued to complain.

"Who dares to really bully Shen Yong, what are you afraid of? Your father will not protect him, and your mother will not protect him. However, the matter needs an explanation. This time Shen Yong made a mistake and was caught. There is no way to deal with it, just deal with it briefly, and it can be regarded as an explanation to those ministers, your father doesn't really want to punish Shen Yong." Empress Changsun said to Li Lizhi, Li Lizhi nodded,
After a while, the food came, and Wei Hao and the others also went to eat.

After eating, Li Shimin went back first. Wei Hao wanted to leave too, but was stopped by Empress Changsun.

"Shen Yong, come, drink tea! You come to drink!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao went over to make tea immediately after hearing this, Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi also came to the side of the tea set!
"For the sake of the queen mother, don't bother with your uncle. The queen mother knows that he has targeted you for countless times. As for you, you have always looked at the queen mother's face and didn't bother with him. For this, the queen mother thank you. After a while, the queen mother will call your uncle into the palace. I want to talk about him. You have let him so many times. He hasn't reflected on it yet and wants to bring you down. The queen mother will definitely I won't agree!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao.

"Thank you Empress, it's okay. I haven't bothered with him. When I came out of my empress's study yesterday morning, I said a few angry words to him. I don't know how to offend him. He is my uncle. It stands to reason that he should Help me, why do you keep throwing stones at me?" Wei Hao pretended to be confused and said to Empress Changsun.

"Hey, it's because of the matter between you and Lizhi. The queen mother doesn't know why he hasn't let go until now. In such a situation, the queen mother will definitely not agree with the matter between Lizhi and Changsun Chong, but he put this It seems petty to vent your anger on you, Shenyong, you just look at the queen mother's face, forget it, the mother queen will definitely say him!" The eldest grandson empress said to Wei Hao.

"Don't worry, queen mother, how could my son care about these things, he is an elder!" Wei Hao immediately said with a smile.

"But my mother, my uncle has made things difficult for Shen Yong more than once. You have to talk about him. Shen Yong is so good to him, and he is also very good to his cousin. The cousin and him are still good friends, but I don't know what uncle is. What do you think!" Li Lizhi sat beside her and said to Empress Changsun.

"Hey, your uncle is capable, but ah, his heart is still a bit smaller, and he can't compare with Shen Yong. The queen mother will definitely say your uncle!" The eldest grandson empress said with a sigh. In fact, she knows all about it, but she won't talk about Changsun Wuji, after all, she is her brother.
Moreover, the matter of Lizhi did not fulfill his wish. Empress Changsun felt a little indebted to this elder brother, but bullying her son-in-law again and again was another matter. Although the elder brother was close, the son-in-law was half ah,

What's more, this half of them helped themselves, the royal family, and His Majesty a lot. The ones who look very good on them bullied their son-in-law, that is, they didn't take themselves seriously. If you continue to bear it, the son-in-law should have a problem with himself,

And now that the prince is so good now, it has a lot to do with Wei Hao, so he hopes that Wei Hao can always assist the prince. Although the eldest grandson Wuji is also very important, but the eldest grandson Wuji is about the same age as Li Shimin, so he probably needs to assist him. In a few years, Shen Yong will be able to accompany the prince to go further.

"It's okay, queen mother, don't make things difficult for me. Uncle, if you are angry, you can vent it to me. He has to explain to me that I was wrong. I will definitely apologize, but this matter about Lizhi, Erchen is not aimed at him." , but for the tens of thousands of people in the world, close relatives are indeed problematic. Of course, I understand what you said about my uncle treating me like this. I will bear it first and let my uncle vent. !" Wei Hao immediately persuaded Empress Changsun to speak.

"That's not going to happen. This matter is almost done, so we can't continue to worry about it!" Empress Changsun immediately waved her hand and said.

"That's right, it's been so many times!" Li Lizhi also echoed at the side. She was also very dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji's bullying Wei Hao. Bullying Wei Hao was bullying herself. I can't stand it.Then Wei Hao sat in the Lizheng Hall for a while, and then he was about to go back and came out with Li Lizhi.

"You, don't say those things in front of your mother, let her embarrass her, it's good for her to know, you let her make a choice, how difficult it is, anyway, my uncle and I will definitely have something to do in the future, and we still have to fight, so let's fight, It's not good for you to say this in front of your mother, depending on your own ability!" Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi, who was holding his hand.

"I know, can't I help it? He thinks we are fools, and still bullies us like this, really, don't force me, force me to see if I take care of him?" Li Lizhi said very arrogantly while sitting there.

"How do you deal with him? You, this is a matter between us men, you don't want to interfere!" Wei Hao said with a smile and scratched her nose.

"Hmph, I have a solution!" Li Lizhi smiled and avoided, then said proudly.

"Okay, you have a solution, but we haven't chatted together for a long time, really, I say I'm not an official, everyone says I'm not, now you know you can't be an official, right?" Wei Hao smiled and squeezed Li Lizhi's face said.

"Well, I really can't be. After being the county magistrate, we won't be an official anymore. It's not that we don't have money. What are we afraid of? Then we'll play around!" Li Lizhi said with deep emotion.

"Well, I'll go back first, you go back to the palace and rest, I have to go to the eastern suburbs to watch!" When he reached the gate of the inner palace, Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi, Li Lizhi nodded and relaxed. Released Wei Hao's hand and let Wei Hao leave the palace,
But at this moment, at the East Palace, Li Chengqian was also receiving Changsun Wuji in the study. Changsun Wuji said that he had something to look for him, so Li Chengqian took him to his study.
