Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 405

Li Siyuan felt that Su Zhen seemed to be coming towards Wei Hao, because he was staring at him from the beginning.

"You came here for us, why? Do you dare to do bad things? Here, they don't have the guts, do they?" Wei Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and comforted Li Siyuan.

"That's not what I meant. There should be no danger. Look, he's coming!" Li Siyuan said to Wei Hao,

Wei Hao nodded, and then went to the barbecue grill. Wei Hao took the mutton prepared by the servants and was about to start grilling. He was prepared for this outing and wanted to eat barbecue. For this reason, he had to I prepared those seasonings myself.

"Come on, take a look at your husband's craftsmanship. Your barbecue is all a waste of materials!" Wei Hao stood there, holding a skewer, and said to Li Lizhi,
At this time, Su Zhen had already arrived at Wei Hao's side and was negotiating with Wei Hao's bodyguards. Wei Dashan, Wei Hao's personal guard, ran to Wei Hao's side after negotiating a few words with them.

"My lord, that person is the elder brother of the Crown Princess Su Mei, and he said he wants to come to see you and His Royal Highness!" Wei Dashan came over and reported to Wei Hao.Wei Hao heard it, turned his head to look over there,

And Su Zhen was also looking at this side all the time, seeing Wei Hao looking this way, she immediately smiled and waved to Wei Hao's side.

"Let him come over!" Wei Hao said to Wei Dashan, Wei Dashan nodded, and trotted over there,
After a while, Su Zhen arrived at Wei Hao's side.

"I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Changle, I have seen Duke Xia, and I have seen Miss Siyuan!" Su Zhen came over and said to the three of them with a smile.

"Find a place to do it yourself, come and serve tea!" Li Lizhi said with a smile, while Wei Hao nodded and continued to roast his own barbecue.

"I really didn't expect that Xia Guogong still has such a handicraft? But when I think about it, the Juxian Building was built by the Guogong. It doesn't seem strange to have such a handicraft." Su Zhen praised there.

"It's just to get something delicious and go out for an outing. If you don't cook something delicious, wouldn't you waste this opportunity? Mr. Su also came here for an outing, and there are quite a lot of people there." Wei Hao smiled at Su Jane spoke up.

"Yes, it's a coincidence, and it's our honor to come here for an outing with you guys, so I came here to pay a visit." Su Zhen said immediately, clasping her hands.

"Well, I've made up my mind!" Wei Hao nodded and continued flipping through his barbecue.

At this time, the maid beside Li Lizhi also came over with tea.

"Tea, please." Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Princess often said that Xia Guogong is a man of great talent. I am so excited to meet you today. Please forgive me for disturbing you!" Su Zhen continued to say flatteringly,

When Wei Hao heard it, he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, is absurd. It's not as good as what he said. However, Mr. Su is a good-looking talent, and he has your father's style. Your father is an official, upright, and has a breeze in his sleeves. Rare."

"Yes, that, I don't know if Xia Guogong is convenient?" Su Zhen nodded, and then asked Wei Hao in a low voice.

"En?" Wei Hao looked at Su Zhen pretending to be a little confused. He had something to ask for himself, and he had guessed something just now. He probably wanted to make friends with him, but the first time we met, we had to talk about things. I was a little anxious.

"It's like this. I, and some friends, set up a workshop, but the things we made can't be sold. If the price is low, there is no profit, and if the price is high, they can't be sold. So, I want to Please ask Xia Guogong for advice." Su Zhen continued to say to Wei Hao.

"You got a workshop? What kind of workshop?" Wei Hao asked with a smile when he heard it.

"It's a furniture workshop. Now there are many people in Chang'an City. Many of them have built new mansions, but they don't have that much furniture. So we set up a furniture workshop, but it hasn't sold well. I don't know why. , asked others, they said that the price is expensive, but it needs such a high cost to make it,
Xia Guogong, everyone says you are a genius in business, and many businessmen regard you as a god, so I came here today to ask Xia Guogong, do you have any good ideas? Su Zhen asked Wei Hao, her attitude was good. Li Lizhi and the others were a little unhappy when they heard what Su Zhen said, but they didn't express it. They still wanted to give the princess some face.

"It's hard to say. My family also makes furniture, you know, but my furniture is still very popular. As for the situation of your workshop, I haven't seen it, so I can't give you specific suggestions. Let me tell you, go to people's homes to inquire about what kind of furniture they want, and you can make what kind of furniture, other things, it's hard to say, and I can't talk nonsense." Wei Hao continued to roast meat there, Said to Su Zhen with a smile.

"Yes, this is indeed, but, Xia Guogong, I don't know if you are interested in cooperating with us. If only you come, we are willing to give you [-]% of the shares. You don't need to pay any money, just come here for one day every month for guidance! " Su Zhen continued to ask Wei Hao.

"Hey, don't tell me about this. Do you know how many workshops I need to manage now? It's almost 50. According to what you said, I can't finish it in a month. Forget it, I'm not interested. Let's talk about it , the piece of furniture has no technical content. Others can do it, and the profit is not high. Less!" Wei Hao sighed deliberately when he heard it, and then said in a very embarrassed way.

"Yes, indeed, but I don't know if Xia Guogong has any workshops to do. You just need to hand it over to us, and you don't have to pay a penny. We will do the rest of the work. What percentage of the achievement do you say! " Su Zhen continued to say unwillingly, he just wanted to get on Wei Hao's big ship,

We all know that as long as we keep up with Wei Hao's footsteps, it is difficult not to make money. Now the children of generals are all rich because they have a good relationship with Wei Hao, and many of the children of Lord Hou are completely dependent on Wei Hao. No, many people want to open up this channel,
But there is no way, they can't speak in front of Wei Hao at all, and those who can speak in front of Wei Hao will not give them such an opportunity, so before Su Zhen came, she went to the East Palace and asked her sister Su Mei, Su Mei just told them about Wei Hao's going outing this time.

"Oh, don't mention this to me this year. I'm really too busy. I don't believe it. You can ask His Royal Highness and His Highness the Crown Princess. I have stolen today's day so far this year. I want to I'm going to jail, I'm going to cause trouble, you should have heard about so many ministers impeaching me last time, I was thinking, why would my father sentence me to jail for a few days, who knows that I won't be given a day, no Way, now I have too many things on my hands, I really don't have that heart!" Wei Hao said with a sigh again,

At this moment, Wei Hao's barbecue was ready, and he gave it to Li Lizhi and Li Siyuan first, and then handed it to Su Zhen: "Come and taste it, it's the first barbecue, I don't know if it's delicious, so let's just eat it." !"

"Hey, thank you Duke Xia, that must be delicious!" Su Zhen immediately said respectfully.

"I know what you mean by coming to me. In fact, the conditions you raised are also very good. Being able to raise such conditions shows your sincerity. I said to myself how many shares you own, well, it is indeed very sincere, but what am I doing now? If you don't know the situation, you can ask others, I really don't have the energy!" Wei Hao said to Su Zhen with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we came here with sincerity. Of course, we also know that Xia Guogong, you are really busy. In this way, next time you have a chance, you send someone to greet me, and I will arrive immediately. Do whatever you say What?" Su Zhen immediately stood up and cupped her hands.

"Well, okay, I like to hear this sentence, I remember you, Su Zhen!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile, in fact, Wei Hao would not take the initiative to think of him, just said, there is no need to offend such a person , Wei Hao can also say the scene, as long as it makes people feel more comfortable.

"Yes, yes, thank you Xia Guogong!" Su Zhen clasped her hands again and said,
At this time, several fast horses came running in the distance, Wei Hao turned his head and saw that it was Cheng Chusi, Yuchi Baolin, and Fang Yizhi, who actually came back today.

"Shen Yong!" Cheng Chusi was still on the horse, yelling loudly towards Wei Hao.

"My God, there is no way to play today!" Wei Hao said with a headache. Originally, he wanted to live a three-person world with the two of them, and he didn't want to be disturbed by others. Unexpectedly, they still came here .

"Gong Xia, shall I take my leave first?" Su Zhen stood there tactfully and said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, Dashan, send Mr. Su off for me!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile, and said to Wei Dashan, who immediately made a gesture of invitation.

"They came here probably because they have something to do with you, otherwise, they wouldn't have come here." Li Lizhi said to Wei Hao.

"En!" Wei Hao nodded, probably related to Fang Yizhi.

"It's delicious, the roast is really delicious!" Li Lizhi then said to Wei Hao, and continued to eat the barbecue after speaking.

"Really?" Wei Hao said happily.

"It's really good, someone was there just now, I'm embarrassed to say!" Li Siyuan also nodded with a smile.

"It's as good as it tastes. I'll continue to roast, and you continue to eat!" Wei Hao was very happy when he heard that, and continued to roast with those meat skewers. After waiting for a while, the three of them also went down the embankment and arrived at Wei's place. side.

"Come on, three brothers, try my craft!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Okay!" Cheng Chusi said happily, picked up the meat skewers on the table, and started to eat.

"Why are you back? Before you came back, you didn't know how to say hello?" Wei Hao looked at Fang Yi and asked.

"Hey, don't mention it, I came back temporarily today because of something, I asked you for advice, and even said, hey, it's a troublesome thing!" Fang Yi said straight to Wei Hao.

"Troublesome thing? Something happened in the steel workshop?" Wei Hao looked at Fang Yi in surprise and said straight away.

"It's not a steel workshop, yes, yes, like this, that, brother Pauline, you come to bake, I will talk to Shen Yong about the matter, when the princess grows up and Siyuan, I will borrow Shen Yong first, there is an important matter !" Fang Yi said straight to them, grabbing Wei Hao's arm, wanting to talk to the side.

"Go ahead, there are important things to deal with first." Li Lizhi nodded with a smile,
Wei Hao also felt very strange, Fang Yizhi knew his character, he was a very steady person, if there hadn't been a big incident, he wouldn't have been so flustered.

The two of them walked to the river beach, and when they were a little away from the others, Fang Yi said in a low voice: "In the past few months, the steel we have been going out is in Chang'an, Huazhou, Luoyang, and Taiyuan. Selling points, the sales volume is very large. Among them, the sales volume of Changan is about 20 catties a month, Luoyang is about 15 catties, Taiyuan is about 12 catties, and Huazhou has about 15 catties.

Other state capitals are basically maintained at [-] to [-] jin. At the beginning, I didn’t take it seriously. Later, I thought, no, why does Huazhou need so much steel? There is not much farmland there. No, why do you need so many?
The same is true for Luoyang and Taiyuan. Chang'an has more because there are so many workshops, and they already need a lot of iron!So I sent someone to find out, where did the iron go, and guess what? "

Fang Yizhi whispered to Wei Hao very nervously, and Wei Hao looked at Fang Yizhi.

"Look, I found out. The news came to me last night. I couldn't sleep all night!"

Fang Yi handed a note to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao took it and unfolded it to read.

"How is it possible, who is so bold?" Wei Hao became furious when he saw it, and his voice raised a lot. It said that those steels were sold to the Turkic side through Huazhou, and the ones in Luoyang also went to Huazhou and entered the north. The grasslands in Taiyuan entered Tubo through channels, and tens of thousands of catties in Chang'an also flowed into Tubo every month.

"I don't know yet, it's a well-established underground channel, maybe it's been around since last fall,

Preliminary estimates show that from last year to now, the amount of steel that has flowed into Turks and Tubo will not be less than 150 million catties. I dare not even think about how the steel passes through the border. This journey involves entering so many cities. How did they get through!Therefore, Shen Yong, His Majesty must know about this matter. Fang Yi said straight to Wei Hao,

Wei Hao nodded when he heard it. Of course, Li Shimin needs to know, who dares to hide such a thing.

"Is the military involved in this?" Wei Hao stared at Fang Yi and asked, Fang Yi nodded affirmatively.

"Ma De, who, who is so bold, isn't this sending weapons to the enemy to chop off the heads of our own people?" Wei Hao is very angry at the moment, and he has never given up on Datang. Salt can be sold Go, but the iron has not been good, and Li Shimin also made a decree, asking the border officers and soldiers to strictly check the pig iron exiting the customs.

"Without a certain force, at those border gates, without a leader, there is absolutely no way out!" Fang Yizhi said affirmatively. "My God, how many people are going to die this time?" Wei Hao felt at the moment, the army, he didn't know how many people were going to die this time, Li Shimin would definitely be furious if he found out, those border guards needed to be fully reviewed, 150 Ten thousand catties of pig iron, equivalent to the output of Datang in the two years before last year, was sold just like that.

"I also sent someone to find out that the profit of pig iron is at least three times when it reaches the grassland. The profit of these pig irons is tens of thousands of dollars. Shenyong, tens of thousands of dollars, can completely dredge a channel. I don't know how much it is now." people involved,

Moreover, I don’t know if these four state capitals are like this. If other state capitals are also like this, then the outflow of pig iron may exceed 300 million, or even 500 million catties.

Shen Yong, the profits here are astonishing. I used to be very surprised. Before the steel workshop came out, my annual output was only about 80 catties. Why is the annual output of 1000 million catties still not enough? Every month , all the sales outlets are urging us to ask for steel. After we give priority to meeting the needs of the Ministry of Industry, we will basically send out all of them. Except for the 300 million catties of inventory that we made before, all the others will be released. Not enough, logically speaking, ordinary people don't need such pig iron at all! "Fang Yi stood there and continued.

"Don't die, those people want money but don't die, why bother, it's just such a small amount of money, your uncle!" Wei Hao was very angry, he really didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"So, now I don't know whether to report or not. Once I report, I don't know how many people will be killed!" Fang Yizhi looked at Wei Hao worriedly.

"Go and report it. You can't hide this matter. It will come out sooner or later. You have to know that these pig irons are used as weapons when they go out. Those countries are going to fight with our Tang Dynasty. Those generals have conscience. Was it eaten by a dog?" Wei Hao scolded angrily, wondering how so many people would die for such a small amount of money.

"Shen Yong, otherwise, you go report it, I will go, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it! It's not that I'm afraid of death, you know? As soon as the news comes out, I'm in the open and they are in the dark. When the time comes I don't know how I died, so what I mean is, I will give you this news, and you will report it to His Majesty in a few days, okay?" Fang Yi said to Wei Hao in fear,

Wei Hao heard it and looked at Fang Yizhi.

"I also thought about asking my father to report it, but my father couldn't handle it. With such a big channel, I don't know how many people are involved. Shen Yong, only you can handle this matter, and only you can handle it! Fang Yizhi looked at Wei Hao pitifully.

"Aren't you cheating on me?" Wei Hao looked at Fang Yi depressedly and said straight.

"I can't help it, you think about it, the army is involved, and other forces are also involved, my family, I really can't stand it!" Fang Yizhi was about to cry, and he didn't need to think about it to know that the opponent was very powerful.
