Chapter 411

Wei Hao was discussing things with Du Yuan, but when he saw Wang De approaching, he immediately stood up.

"Eunuch Wang, why are you still here?" Wei Hao looked at Wang De with a smile and asked.

"Your Majesty asked the little one to come and look for you, saying that you haven't been to the palace for almost half a month!" Wang De said to Wei Hao with a smile, Wei Hao smiled, and said with a wry smile: "You call me a county magistrate. Why go to the palace if you have nothing to do? I am so busy every day! My father is still trying to trick me?"

"No, but this time, His Majesty has something to do with you!" Wang De is used to Wei Hao talking about Li Shimin like this. Anyway, their husband and son-in-law are like this. Li Shimin complained in the palace that Wei Hao has no conscience, and Wei Hao Hao complained that Li Shimin cheated people, and neither of them was a good bird anyway.

"What's the matter? If there is something, it's something to cheat me!" Wei Hao became vigilant when he heard it, and looked at Wang De and asked.

"Really, Xia Guogong, this time His Majesty wants to know about the registration of men this time. I heard that your labor is not enough. Your Majesty wants to ask how many of those lords' families have not registered!" De said to Wei Hao.

"It is estimated that there are [-] to [-] people. I didn't find that there were so many people before, but now I look at it, it is only a lot!" Wei Hao turned to look at Du Yuan and said, Du Yuan also nodded, there are indeed so many .

"So many people?" Wang De also looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"Well, that's fine, I'll go too, I haven't seen my queen mother for a long time!" Wei Hao thought it was time to go, so he said to Wang De,

Soon, Wei Hao and Wang De arrived at Ganlu Hall. At this moment, the weather is already very hot, and now everywhere is full of vitality. It is already the turn of spring and summer.

"My son has seen my father!" Wei Hao found Wu Wang Li Ke when he arrived at the Ganlu Palace.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, why are you back?" Wei Hao was very surprised. Why did he come back now? He had been in Shu before, but now he has returned to Chang'an.

"I went back to Chang'an last night, and I'm going to get married this year, so I'm back to prepare now!" King Wu said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Oh, get married, get married, I will get married next year!" Wei Hao said with a smile, looking at King Wu.

"Well, Shenyong, Ke'er just came back, and you, if you have time, ask him to go to your side, otherwise, hehe, this brat, every day is a boat!" Li Shimin said and stared at Li Ke. , Li Ke was very helpless.

At this moment, Wang De came in again and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please see me!"

"Let him in!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Yes!" Wang De went out immediately, and soon, Li Chengqian came in!

"I have seen my father!" Li Chengqian cupped his hands at Li Shimin after entering.

"Well, no courtesy!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Third brother, when I came back last night, I wanted to visit you, but I thought it was too late, and you were exhausted, so I probably needed a rest, so I didn't come. Just now, I went to the palace with some gifts. , Knowing that you have come to the palace, I came here to have a look! At noon, my eldest brother treats you to dinner! It is a welcome for you!" Li Chengqian said to Li Ke with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, brother, you have a heart!" Li Ke also stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin was very happy when he saw this scene, and then said: "Go to the Lizheng Hall for lunch, and your mother Yang Concubine will also go to the Lizheng Hall. Ke'er just came back, so she must have dinner at home! Yong also wants to go, you kid, it’s been half a month, ah, I can’t see anyone from you!”

Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao as he spoke, Wei Hao laughed twice.

"Are you so busy? Ah, busier than me?" Li Shimin continued to stare at Wei Hao and asked.

"Father, the conscience of heaven and earth, you have so many ministers to help you deal with things, and His Royal Highness the crown prince to deal with the memorials. I am a small county magistrate. I have to do everything myself. I have to build a mansion at home, and the palace also needs to do it. Building a mansion, under my rule, the people also need to build roads and houses, what do you think I can do, I say I can't be the county magistrate, you still insist on letting me be!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin helplessly Said.

"Hmph, you just keep complaining when I ask you to do some work!" Li Shimin continued to stare at Wei Hao and said.

"A little work? Father, how much work have I done? I don't think the civil and military people in the whole court have done as much work as me!" Wei Hao immediately retorted, no matter what Li Shimin said, he would never hold back when he had to refute.Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao.

"By the way, it's about the registration of those people. Is there any movement now? I heard that more than 1 people have come out to register?" Li Shimin didn't want to talk about this topic with Wei Hao, knowing that this kid is really busy these days , and also achieved results.

"Yes, it may last half a month at most, and those people can't sit still. Anyway, those people who are registered now live a very good life. Those skilled craftsmen are planning to renovate their houses this year. Some of them are not registered. Worry, I guess those people will come out when those nobles let go, and if they don’t come out to register, I guess they can’t take it anymore, now our workshop is seriously short of people!” Wei Hao said to Li Shimin proudly.

"Well, that's good, and you said to do a good job of population statistics? Hmph, in just one Wannian county, there are tens of thousands of males hidden, and in a few years there will be tens of thousands of households. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, what is the population of my Tang Dynasty? I don't know how much!" Li Shimin said a little dissatisfied at the moment, Wei Hao heard it, but he didn't make a sound, this is a matter of the court, Li Shimin didn't ask, so he didn't say it.

"Shen Yong, I have a plan to establish the Chang'an Mansion, the governor of the Chang'an Mansion, and the prince will be the governor of the mansion. The affairs of the Chang'an Mansion will be handled by the prince. You think it is good. Of course, Wannian County, Chang'an County will be governed. County!" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao.

"Okay, of course!" Wei Hao nodded and said,
"Gao Ming, I let you serve as Governor of Chang'an because I hope you will start to understand the affairs of the people, and you can't stay in the palace all the time, so you don't understand the sufferings of the people!" Li Shimin said, looking at Li Chengqian.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said.

"Shen Yong!" Li Shimin then looked at Wei Hao.

"Father, don't lie to me, there must be something to do, father, my son has something to do first!" Wei Hao immediately stood up when he heard him call him, ready to run!

"Stop, what's the matter, sit down!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao fiercely and said.

"Father, if you're okay, I'll go back first. By the way, I'm going to invite someone to dinner at noon. I'll go to my mother's place for dinner next time. Really!" Wei Hao stood there, forced a smile on Li Shimin Said.

"You serve as the Shao Yin of Chang'an Mansion, assist the prince in dealing with the affairs of Chang'an Mansion, and concurrently serve as the county magistrate of Wannian County!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao,

Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin stupidly.

"What? Don't thank you yet?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Father, don't take you like this. You set up the Chang'an Mansion, you set it up, why did you pull me in, you can make anyone you want, I am so busy every day, and you still stare at me? Let go!" Wei Hao said depressedly, looking at Li Shimin with a crying face.

"Okay, it's settled like this, Gao Ming, let Shen Yong handle the affairs of Chang'an Mansion in the future. He knows the sufferings of the people!" Li Shimin continued to say to Wei Hao, Wei Hao had no choice but to stand there very depressed!

"Brother-in-law, come, sit down, sit down and say, you help Gu, don't worry about it, if it's someone else, don't worry about Gu! Besides, if you have any thoughts about Chang'an Mansion in the future, you can tell Gu, Gu I will definitely solve it for you!" Li Chengqian pulled Wei Hao to sit down, Wei Hao was so reluctant.

Then Li Shimin poured tea for Wei Hao, and said to Wei Hao, "Come, drink tea!"

"Father, let's make one thing clear first. It's fine if I'm allowed to be Shaoyin, but, the county magistrate of Wannian County, I've finished this year's affairs, so I won't be the magistrate. I ask to be given to the designated person!" Wei Wei Hao sat there and said to Li Shimin. "Who are you appointing?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao curiously and asked.

"My cousin, Wei Chen, my father and his father have always had a good relationship. He helped me a lot when I was in trouble before, and now he is on duty at the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, that's fine, let him go, but you have to take care of Chang'an Mansion!" Li Shimin smiled and nodded at Wei Hao and said, knowing that Wei Hao is a person who knows how to repay kindness, and Wei Hao does this, Li Shimin will not It will be a surprise.

"Then it's settled. I've finished building the Dongjiao workshop area and repaired the roads, so I don't care about it. I will leave the rest to my cousin!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and continued to ask.

"Okay, but, in this case, Wei Yu needs to be transferred away. It cannot be said that the two county magistrates of Chang'an City are both members of your Wei family. When the time comes, Wei Yu, the old man will transfer him to a high-level mansion to serve as the mansion. Yin, can you?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao.

"Okay!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Okay, Shenyong, I can't help it. Among so many county magistrates, you are the most capable. Look at the current Wannian County, how good it is. The people have jobs and have made a lot of money. , if our Great Tang is like this, then don’t worry, the court is also rich! It’s a pity that other county magistrates don’t have the ability like you! As Shao Yin, you will be able to manage two counties, at least you can Manage the two counties well!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao,

Sitting there, Wei Hao was very depressed, thinking about when it would be a head, he didn't want to be an official, he really didn't want to be an official, it was so fun to play every day, he was not short of money, nor was he short of status!

"Father, let me be clear first, how many years will I be in office? I will be in office for up to five years, and I will stop being in office after more than that. Also, don't ask me to be a governor somewhere in the future, and don't ask me to be a servant in the sixth department." I'm not interested in Shangshu or anything like that!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and continued to ask,

Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao. According to Li Shimin's idea, Wei Hao first served as the Shaoyin in Chang'an Mansion, then transferred to Luoyang as the governor, then transferred back to the Ministry of Civil Affairs as a servant to make a transition, and finally served as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. As for whether he can be As for Pu She, it depends on how Wei Hao does at that time. However, from now on, Li Shimin thinks that Wei Hao can serve as Pu She, so that he can assist the prince in governing the world.

"Father, you don't agree?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in surprise and asked, because Li Shimin didn't speak, Wei Hao was a little anxious.

"Yes, yes!" Li Shimin nodded immediately and said, first stabilize Wei Hao before speaking, otherwise, he would not be a Shaoyin anymore.

"You two can testify, my father promised me that I will stop being a Shaoyin after five years!" Wei Hao looked at Li Chengqian and Li Ke and said.The two laughed, but didn't dare to nod!

"Okay, let's talk about your Wannian County, I really want to know!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao can only give Li Shimin a rough report, including the current income of those workshops, they are all very good of,

And the shops, restaurants, and hotels controlled by the county government are doing very well, bringing huge income to the county government. Now the county government is estimated to receive 2 yuan every month. In the year, the county government was not short of money.

"So much money, 2 yuan per month, more than 20 yuan a year, plus tax rebates, more than 30 yuan a year, or even 40 yuan. A county government has so much money, isn't it good? "Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao in surprise and said when he heard Wei Hao say that.

"Father, what do you mean?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin incomprehensibly and asked.

"With so much money, I don't know how much corruption will happen at that time. What I mean is that this money should be taken back to Chang'an Mansion, so that Chang'an Mansion can control the money and build Chang'an well!" Li Shimin said to Followed by Wei Hao and said.

"This!" Wei Hao heard it and didn't know what to say.

"What? Just say what you have to say!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.

"Father, this is the result of our hard work in Wannian County. If you say, you will take it all back. It's not good, so the people of Wannian County should have an opinion! Now we are planning, in Wannian County Several large villages have set up schools to enroll the registered children in Wannian County! All the expenses will be paid by the county government!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao, thinking that this kid is really capable. He managed a county so well and set up schools in those villages. In other counties, let alone schools, even the people who study Not many.

"In this way, leave half for Wannian County, and give the remaining half to Chang'an Mansion!" Li Shimin continued to think about ideas, and said to Wei Hao.

"That doesn't work either. The tax rebate must be from Wannian County. As for the income of those shops, half of the income from those shops can be given to Chang'an Mansion!" Wei Hao thought about it and said to Li Shimin.

"Okay!" Li Shimin also thought for a while, nodded and said, and then several people sat in the Ganlu Hall and chatted for a while, Wei Hao's interest was not high, he had no choice but to be tricked,
After arriving at the Palace of Ganlu, Li Lizhi noticed that Wei Hao was not in high spirits, so he immediately pulled Wei Hao aside and asked.

"What's the matter, with a face full of bitterness and hatred, who bullied you?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and asked in a low voice.

"Your father, who else can deceive me except your father?" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi depressedly and said.

"Tricked you again, how did you cheat?" Li Lizhi continued to ask after hearing this.

"Your father wants to establish the Chang'an Mansion, and bring Wannian County and Chang'an County under the Chang'an Mansion. Your elder brother will be the governor, and I will be the Shaoyin, hey!" Wei Hao said with a sigh.

"Oh, that's okay, you are the deputy anyway!" Li Lizhi said after thinking about it.

Wei Hao rolled his eyes helplessly, and said: "You think your elder brother will take care of Chang'an's affairs, I don't care if I come here, I will ask your elder brother for anything, I have to ask your elder brother to pay some money !"

"Hee hee, that's a matter between the two of you. It's okay, of course, Shao Yin, let's not be it!" Li Lizhi smiled and said to Wei Hao, knowing that she was tricked now, and there was nothing she could do.

"Shen Yong, what are you talking about, come here for tea!" Empress Changsun shouted to Wei Hao, Wei Hao walked over with a smile, at this moment, Concubine Yang was also there.

"Come, drink tea!" Li Chengqian made tea there and poured tea for Wei Hao.

"Shen Yong is also very busy during this time. He is in Wannian County every day, so he has less time to come to the Lizheng Palace!" Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin heard it, and looked at Empress Changsun depressedly.

"That's right, queen mother, do you know? Now my father has asked me to be the young minister of the Chang'an mansion, and the Chang'an mansion has just been established!" Wei Hao immediately said to Empress Changsun.

"I want you to do something. Why are you talking so much? No matter how many people want to be an official, they can't be. It's good for you, you shouldn't be!" Li Shimin immediately said to Wei Hao.

"What's so good about being an official? I'm rich!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin very proudly.

"Yes, Shen Yong, take me to make some money when you have time!" Li Ke said with a smile beside him.

"It's okay, Tiangu will send you 3000 coins from the East Palace some other time, as money for your wedding preparations, if you see something good, buy it, you can't lose the prestige of our royal family!" Li Chengqian said first,
He knew that he would rather give Li Ke money himself than allow Li Ke and Wei Hao to cooperate. Now Wei Hao is surrounded by many people. Those people are forces. Now Wei Hao follows him. Once you are familiar with them, Li Ke will become familiar with those people, and then it will be troublesome.
In addition, this time he also heard the news that Li Shimin intends to keep Li Ke in Chang'an, and does not want him to go to the vassal. This makes Li Chengqian very vigilant. Fighting against myself, saying that it is my whetstone, but who is the knife and who is the stone, I don’t know until the end,
Therefore, Li Chengqian wants to win over Li Ke and make Li Ke his own, so that Li Shimin can't solve problems for himself. However, there is another problem that is Li Tai. Now Li Chengqian doesn't know why Li Tai has gone. Knowing that he is busy every day, he seems to have a lot of money, but I don't know how this money came from.
