Chapter 427 What can I do if I can't help it?
Chapter 423

When Li Shimin heard that Wei Hao could solve the food problem, he was very happy, and immediately stared at Wei Hao. When Wei Hao said that it would take three to five years, or even ten years, he was very excited when he heard it.

"Okay, three to five years, ten years is fine, you are ready to go now!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao happily and said, Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin helplessly.

"What's the matter? What's the problem? Lack of money, people, or land?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao puzzled and said.

"Father, I'm short of time, can you stop making me an official?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin depressed and asked.

"Well, this, won't you stop being the county magistrate right away? It's really not possible, let Wei Chen take office now, okay, tell him what to do, anyway, you still have the final say on the affairs of Wannian County, I will talk to him when the time comes, okay?" Li Shimin thought about it, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"But there are many things in Jingzhao Mansion!" Wei Hao continued to look at Wei Hao and said.

"Then, Shao Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, you just became an official, so you quit? Besides, the affairs of the Jingzhao Mansion have just begun. If you are not in the right place, what should you do? It really doesn't work, let Li Ke do more things, you Go get food, okay?" Li Shimin continued to look at Wei Hao and said.

"If it doesn't work, why don't you just take me, Shao Yin, and replace him with someone else?" Wei Hao also looked up at Li Shimin and asked if it's okay.

Li Shimin just stared at Wei Hao, thinking about how to deal with this kid.

"Father, I really don't have time. I also want to get it. This year's cotton has just started to be planted. What I mean is that it will be promoted nationwide next year. When the time comes, people will have cotton clothes to wear in their homes. I will also announce how to do it." I will also announce some quilt technology and spinning technology! Father, my son really doesn't want to be an official, can you not let me be an official?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Hao pitifully.

"There is no door!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao fiercely and said, he knows Wei Hao's ability, in Wannian County, in less than a year, he created Jingzhao Mansion, the county with the most concentrated and powerful taxation in the Tang Dynasty Just after it was established, Wei Hao started to build so many houses, just to improve people's livelihood, and also established a good reputation for Datang among the people.

These are all things that an official should do, but many officials will not do it. Only Wei Hao can do this. These are Wei Hao's abilities, and he has the ability to govern the people. Many people in Chang'an City now , but it's all because of Wei Hao that he has a good life. Now that Wei Hao says he doesn't want to be an official, is that okay?
"Father, I'm going to buy food!" Wei Hao reminded Wei Hao.

"When Shao Yin can also deal in food, I won't know you. Although you are busy, you are also a lazy master. You don't care about those cases and tax collection at all. Let the people below Just take care of it, just do the big things well, hmph, I'm a bit busy, but it doesn't mean I don't have time to do other things,
Now, Jingzhao Mansion is building a house. You just go to inspect it. There are officials from the Ministry of Industry. They will pay attention to the materials. Moreover, there are also people who instruct them how to do things, trying to deceive your father. Emperor, there are no doors! "Li Shimin continued to stare at Wei Hao and said unhappily.

"Cut, let's do it, anyway, I don't have so much time to concentrate on getting food!" Wei Hao said, looking at Li Shimin with disdain.

"You son of a bitch, do it well. In this way, you will be the young minister of Jingzhao Mansion for at most three years, okay?" Li Shimin immediately said to Wei Hao, thinking that the food issue would eventually be resolved after hearing what Wei Hao said. .

"One year!" Wei Hao raised a finger, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Don't say anything, two years, two years, but you can't be idle in these two years, and start to solve this food problem!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and said compromised.

"Does what you say mean what you say?" Wei Hao said in a low voice.

"When does my words count? I'm the emperor, and I can say what I say!" Li Shimin exploded when he heard what he said, and shouted at Wei Hao.And Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin with disdain.

"You little bastard looks at me like this again, believe it if I take care of you?" Li Shimin warned Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao heard it, and still looked at Li Shimin suspiciously.

"I promise, two years!" Li Shimin was helpless, he could only say the word "guarantee", otherwise, this kid really didn't believe it, but thinking about it, he seemed to be in front of him.Never complied!
"By the way, what is the father's bag? Why did you throw it here?" Wei Hao pointed to a bag on the ground and said to Li Shimin. These are the confessions and investigation reports sent by Changsun Wuji just now. , Li Shimin didn't even open it. He knew that all of these were fake, and there was no point in watching them.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it so much, but tomorrow, you have to remember, no matter what, you are not allowed to hit people impulsively, and you have to promise father!" Li Shimin shook his head, then looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Why? Is someone going to impeach me? Father, tell me what to impeach me for?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin incomprehensibly and asked.

"Don't worry about it so much, just remember it!" Li Shimin continued to remind Wei Hao.

"It depends on what, what if I can't help it?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Hold it as much as possible, if you can't help it, I'll clean you up!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin helplessly.

"Come on, drink tea, pig iron, I really didn't expect that someone would dare to smuggle it, and, hey!" Li Shimin wanted to say it at the moment, but couldn't help it, he couldn't say it, and Wei Hao would go there right away Find someone to settle accounts.

"And what happened?" Wei Hao stared at Li Shimin and asked.

"It's nothing, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the Supreme Emperor, the old man is at your house, how is it now?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao.

"Very good, you don't know, the old man is rich now, and the bonsai he got are dragged to the street to be sold. A good one can be sold for three to five pennies, and a bad one can be sold for five dollars. Six hundred coins, and the old man will take people to the suburbs every now and then to find suitable plants, and now someone is looking for the old man! The old man is very busy now!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Ah, sell it for money? Who will buy it?" Li Shimin didn't believe it when he heard it, thinking that someone must be trying to curry favor with Li Yuan.

"Really, no one knows that the old man made it. The old man found someone and set up a small shop in the suburbs of Dongcheng, which specializes in selling this. There are many workshops, shops, and rich families who like to buy these bonsai. Not to mention, those bonsai made by the old man are really good,
I went to steal a pot and put it by the window of my bedroom. The old man found it. He twisted a hoe and killed me in my bedroom. He warned me that if I dared to steal it again, my legs would be broken, saying that The pots haven't been finished yet, so I sent 2 pots that were finished! " Wei Hao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Ah, so powerful?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao in surprise and asked.

"Really, you can go to the courtyard where the old man lives. All of them are bonsai, and each pot is the hard work of the old man. However, the old man is free and easy. If it is not good, it will be sold. If it is good, it will be kept. When the time comes Go and see if you can steal a few pots, I guess you can steal it, it's probably nothing!" Wei Hao encouraged Li Shimin to say.

"I don't want to go, don't come and encourage my father, hum, I'm afraid of him!" Li Shimin immediately waved his hand and said, I really don't dare to go, I will really be beaten, if I hit you, you dare not fight back.

"Hey!" Wei Hao laughed triumphantly upon hearing this.

"What do you want?" Li Shimin felt that Wei Hao's smile was meaningful, and immediately asked.

"No!" Wei Hao shook his head and said.

"Well, my father would like to thank you. My father also knows that the old man is indeed much happier and more energetic when he lives with you. That's great!" Li Shimin sighed and said to Wei Hao.

"No need, I hit it off with the old man. Now that it's okay, I'll go to him to help him water and fertilize, and trim the branches. The old man said he would pass this technology on to me, hehe!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Well, that's fine, let's learn!" Li Shimin nodded and said, and then asked: "The King of Shu went to Jingzhao Mansion today?"

"This?" Wei Hao didn't know why he suddenly asked this.

"That's right, I don't know him yet, I just know how to play, and I like to go to painting boats, really, I will talk about him when I go to court tomorrow!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao smiled helplessly for a while,
I don't care about the matter between their father and son. After chatting for a while, Wei Hao went out with an indifferent face.
But Wang De and the others were shocked. Li Shimin was furious just now, but after Wei Hao entered, there was no movement inside.

Then, Wei Hao came out with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin summoned Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Li Daozong, and Li Xiaogong to the Ganlu Hall. The bag sent by Changsun Wuji was still on the ground, and no one from Li Shimin picked it up.

"Sit down, everyone else go out!" Seeing the four of them coming, Li Shimin asked the people around him to go out. After the guards went out, they closed the door, and then Li Shimin said, "Two months ago, someone found , The pig iron from my Tang Dynasty was smuggled to the surrounding countries in large quantities, ranging from 150 million catties to as many as 500 million catties!"

"What?" The four of them heard it, and they all stood up in shock, looking at Li Shimin in disbelief.

"I didn't believe it at first, so I asked Qi Guogong to investigate in the name of rewarding the frontline soldiers. As a result, this is his investigation report. Inside this bag are those testimonies. You can take a look at yourself. See It's over, express your opinion!" Li Shimin threw out Changsun Wuji's memorial, then pointed to the bag on the ground, and said to them.

"Hey, who dares to be so bold as to smuggle pig iron? This is a way to connect foreign countries!" Li Jing was so angry that he was a general who commanded soldiers to fight. He sold pig iron to the surrounding countries. Li Jing knew very well that he would bring What are the consequences.

"Let's read his report first!" Li Shimin sat there and said lightly,

They all knew that Li Shimin was really angry, otherwise, they would not have spoken in such a tone. They immediately picked up the memorial and read it together. Just halfway through, they felt something was wrong. Why is there something about Wei Hao's father, Wei Furong?

After reading it, they couldn't believe it even more. This is just a joke. Although such a small amount of pig iron and such a small profit is a huge sum of money for others, most people and officials will be tempted, but for Wei Furong Said, he should not be tempted by this amount of money. There is a son who is so good at making money in the family, so why would he take such a big risk to do such a thing?

"Your Majesty, this, this, is it unlikely?" Fang Xuanling said first.

"Yeah, I know who Wei Furong is. Even if he used this image to deceive us, but with such a small amount of money, is he worth it?" Li Jing also looked at Li Shimin and asked at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I don't think this matter will be so simple. The people in this memorial don't have that much energy, and as they said, Wei Furong has absolutely no need to do such a thing, nor does he have the energy to do such a thing. Your Majesty, please look into it!" Li Xiaogong also stood up and cupped his hands.

"This is just a joke. Only these people have the courage to do such a big thing. This is not something that can be done by one person. It needs a series of people to help behind. To be able to smuggle so much pig iron out, no senior The general involved in it, I absolutely don't believe it!" Li Daozong also looked at Li Shimin and said, he didn't believe what was written in the memorial.

"So I haven't even opened that bag to look at it. If you are interested, you can open it and take a look!" Li Shimin smiled, looked at them and said.

"Your Majesty, this, the auxiliary machine found out like this? After two months, this kind of thing was found out? This, the minister will doubt his ability!" Fang Xuanling is also holding the memorial at the moment, Said with a face of disbelief.

"It goes without saying that he did it on purpose. This is obviously someone who was arranged on purpose. What's more, those witnesses knew that they would die, so they committed suicide one after another. Nonsense, these dead people may not know this I even knew about it, but I was against them, and they completely killed me!" Li Xiaogong said angrily, and he was also unhappy with Changsun Wuji, if it wasn't for the Queen's presence, he would have hated him a long time ago He fell in love, and even wanted to fight against him.

"Your Majesty, is the smuggling incident real?" Fang Xuanling stared at Li Shimin and asked.

"Well, this is a secret report from you, Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Jian, from the northeast. You can read it yourself! After reading it, you can know for yourself. Tomorrow, we will probably start to deal with this matter!
In the northeast direction alone, the amount of smuggled that has been identified will not be less than 100 million catties. It is conceivable how much has been smuggled out from the northwest and north! " Li Shimin said very angrily,

The four of them immediately took it over to watch it, and after they finished reading it, they all looked at Li Shimin in shock. It pointed out that Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, colluded with the family and helped the family smuggle those pig irons out. This is too appalling!
"This, Your Majesty, is this true?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin in surprise and asked.

"It's true. Some time ago, Hou Junji went to Tiefang to mobilize 30 jin of pig iron, saying that it was going to be sent to the border for backup. But since this year, Hou Junji has mobilized 110 million jin of pig iron from Tiefang to the border!" Li Shimin Said with a sigh.

"This?" The four of them panicked, and Hou Junji alone managed to get so much out, so that's okay.

"This matter, the four of you must make arrangements, Pharmacist, you must control the generals in the Ministry of War, Xiao Gong, you must control Hou Junji, and don't let him and his family leave Chang'an City. At the same time, you must also prepare I started to investigate the pig iron smuggling case, originally I thought that only the border soldiers were involved, not the court, but I never thought that Hou Junji would actually be involved!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes!" Li Jing and Li Xiaogong immediately stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Your Majesty, what about Duke Qi's report?" Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment, looking at Li Shimin and asked.

"Strange, isn't it? I don't know why there is such an investigation report. I don't dare to think about it. I don't dare to think about it. Did I treat them badly? Huh?

The Duke’s annual income is about seven or eight hundred guan, and he rewarded the mansion and a lot of rewards, which is enough for them to live well. If you want to buy shares in Shenyong’s workshops, I never said no, you guys If you want to do it, I also know that you have more children now, and you are under pressure. You can make money through Shenyong, but you can’t reach out to the court, let alone do such things that communicate with foreign countries. I am very heartbroken!
He, Hou Junji, failed to do business with Wei Hao, who is to blame, is it me?Blame Shenyong?Has Shen Yong rejected anyone?He himself insists on looking down on Shen Yong, thinking that his contribution is greater than Shen Yong, so he makes things difficult for Shen Yong?I didn't say anything anymore, thinking that there is something wrong with Shen Yong, after all, this kid has a bad temper, but now what does he mean by doing this?Um?Retaliation, revenge against me or revenge against Shenyong? "Li Shimin was so angry at the moment, all four of them stood up and bowed their heads.

"This matter needs to be discussed tomorrow. Now they don't know that I already know the whole story. Tomorrow, I want to see what they say, how they want to impeach Shen Yong, and you also don't know. What should you do? Well, when necessary, say a few words for Shen Yong!" Sitting there, Li Shimin explained to them.

As soon as they heard it, they knew what Li Shimin meant. They were going to fish, and those ministers who bumped into it would probably be unlucky. For such a big matter, only one Hou Junji could not appease Li Shimin's anger.

"Yes, Your Majesty, here, Shenyong also suffered an unreasonable disaster!" Li Jing said to Li Shimin at this moment.

"Well, that's why I dare not tell Shen Yong now, for fear that he will blow up Duke Qi's mansion!" Li Shimin said with a sigh.
