Chapter 45

Empress Changsun still hopes that Wei Hao can make money, but now Wei Hao doesn't believe them at all. He has to tell Li Shimin in person, and Li Shimin still doesn't believe that Wei Hao has such ability. Empress Changsun still hopes to help Li Shimin.

"It's difficult, my daughter said this afternoon, I also know the father's difficulties, and I hope I can share some of it, but he doesn't believe it, and the daughter can't do anything, but it's okay, I'll think of a way, this fool, now I don't believe it I have to deal with him." Li Lizhi said while gritting her teeth,

Empress Zhangsun laughed when she saw her like this, and then looked at Li Lizhi and said, "You have to hurry up on this matter and let him think of a way. , your royal father also took the initiative."

"Yes!" Li Lizhi nodded.

At Wei Hao's house, Wei Hao was there to persuade Wei Furong.

"Okay, isn't it just 1500 mu of land? It's no big deal, we'll just buy another land then!" Wei Hao persuaded Wei Furong.

"You prodigal son, 1500 mu of land, what else? 1500 mu of land is worth tens of thousands of dollars. They are just bullying people like this. No, son, you still have to go to your majesty and talk to him, why? If we can give us land like this, it is estimated that it will not be possible without three to five years after the land is raised, and we have to invest a huge cost. , My family suffered such a big loss.

"Oh, what is there to say, since you can keep those lands well, then you can slowly spend your time and experience to transform them, what's the big deal, it's alright, don't be angry, what is land, think about your son and me, Now he is the count." Wei Hao continued to comfort Wei Furong there.

Wei Furong glared at him fiercely, knowing in his heart that this matter must not be counted on him.

"Dad, come to eat, don't starve yourself." Wei Hao said and brought the meal to Wei Furong, but Wei Furong was still annoyed that he couldn't eat it.

"Dad, I'll go take a look tomorrow, it will definitely be useful." Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong and continued.

"What's the use? I knew about land, you were not born yet, you never went to the village, you still know land?" Wei Furong shouted angrily at Wei Hao, Wei Hao was very depressed, This old man knows that he is angry with himself when he is not happy, what does this have to do with himself.

"Okay, Dad, eat, or else, I'll go to the palace tomorrow to make a fuss?" Wei Hao said helplessly, looking at Wei Furong.

"That can't be done, it can't be done, son, you can't go to the palace to make trouble. If Your Majesty finds out, it will definitely be unpleasant. Then your count will be in trouble." Wei Furong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded Wei Hao said.

"Okay, eat." Wei Hao continued to say to Wei Furong,

When Wei Furong heard Wei Hao agreed, he was relieved a lot, but thinking about the land, Wei Furong was still a little unhappy.

Early the next morning, Wei Hao took Steward Wang and Steward Liu to the land where he was rewarded. Wei Hao also wanted to know what kind of land he was rewarded with.

The land awarded is not far from Chang'an City. It is less than three miles away. You can see the bare mountain when you step out of the west gate. Such a good location has never been rewarded to others before, but now it is actually rewarded to myself, indeed It means to bully people.

"Young master, you see, this large area is bare, below, although it can be reclaimed into farmland, but according to the previous reward from His Majesty, those farmlands are all reclaimed, only our land, you see, How can there be fields? And I also inquired when I was young, why this place has not been cultivated, because the food is always bad, and the yield is very low!" Butler Liu said to Wei Hao.

"En." Wei Hao also climbed up the mountain at the moment, and found that the mountain is not rock, but like dirt, but why doesn't this dirt grow grass?Wei Hao feels strange!So he said to the housekeeper Liu beside him? "Go find a hoe, go!"

Butler Liu didn't know what Wei Hao was going to do, but when he heard Wei Hao's words, he ordered his servants to find a hoe. After finding it, Wei Hao asked them to dig.The excavated soil is white.

"This!" Wei Hao squatted down, took the soil and squeezed it hard, and found that the stickiness was very good.

"Is this kaolin?" Wei Hao was shocked. This is clay that can be used to make ceramics, and it is so close to Chang'an City?

"Continue digging!" Wei Hao ordered to those few people.They also didn't know what Wei Hao was going to do. Wei Hao asked them to dig. Naturally, they wanted to dig. If they continued to dig below, the soil below would be more sticky.

"Okay, okay!" Wei Hao told them to stop, and then continued to walk with those people to other places. At this moment, Wei Hao was still very pleasantly surprised. Unexpectedly, there is also kaolin in Chang'an City, which is made of ceramics. good raw materials.

After a morning of transfer, Wei Hao finished transferring all the reward land, and there was only an area of ​​kaolin clay on the surface. Wei Hao estimated that it would not be less than 1000 mu. The official from the Ministry of Rites and the official who was unable to get through it was simply a big gift for himself.

In the palace, Li Shimin also got the position of Wei Hao's award, including who presided over the award.

"Wei Liang, Wei Cong's clan brother! Interesting." Li Shimin smiled after reading the memorial, knowing that Wei Liang or Wei Cong must have done this. Bullying Wei Hao doesn't even know the quality of the land, waiting for the reward Now, Wei Hao can only suffer a dumb loss.

"Your Majesty, I know that this piece of land was originally intended to be given to the Duke of Lu, the Marquis Junji, but the Duke of Lu had come to you and said that you don't want this piece of land, this piece of land can't be planted at all. I criticized the officials of the Ministry of Rites." Wang De, the eunuch beside Li Shimin, said to Li Shimin.

"You said that, I still remember, is this land?" Li Shimin heard it, turned his head and asked Wang De.

"It's this piece of land. This piece of land is actually very close to Chang'an City, but because no grass grows, it's just a wasteland!" Wang De said to Li Shimin,

Li Shimin heard this, nodded, and did not speak. He was still a little unhappy about the Wei family bullying Wei Hao like this. If it was Wei Hao who was bullied like this by other family members, Li Shimin would not say anything, but from the same family. People, doing such a thing, Li Shimin is quite despised.

At noon, Li Shimin went to Lizheng Hall for dinner and found that the food in Lizheng Hall was actually from Juxian Building.

"How can someone send it over?" Li Shimin asked with a smile as he looked at Empress Changsun.

"It's the girl Lizhi, who just brought it back." Empress Zhangsun said with a chuckle.

"Oh, where's that girl?" Li Shimin heard and asked.

"I'm holding my Sizi inside." Empress Zhangsun gestured to the existing house behind and said.

"Tell Li Zhi to come over." Li Shimin said to a palace maid, who immediately went out.

"But what happened?" Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"No." Li Shimin shook his head and said, then sat down and prepared to eat.

"Royal Father, are you looking for me?" Li Lizhi asked when she came to Li Shimin's side.

"Well, is the shop open today?" Li Shimin nodded and asked.

"It's open, the business is quite good. Many merchants came to us this morning, and we also sold them. In one morning, we sold 50 copies, and there are many more in the afternoon. Those merchants came to order, and they were all one-offs. Tens of thousands of sheets, and now we have consumed almost all the paper that we had accumulated before. By the way, Father, an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs came to our store today, and they want to order 10 sheets!" Li Lizhi heard Li Shimin's question about this. Very happy to say.

"That's good, so you don't have to worry about selling the paper from your paper workshop?" Li Shimin asked Li Li with a smile.

"Well, that's for sure! There is definitely no problem with the internal money, but Father, after we get 3 yuan, we need to give it to Wei Hao. Wei Hao hasn't taken a penny yet. ." Li Lizhi reminded Li Shimin that this is a contract.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin gave a gracious voice, thinking about giving Wei Hao so much money, he was still a little reluctant, not that he shouldn't give Wei Hao points,

But now, Chaotang really needs money, and when Empress Changsun sees Li Shimin like this, she knows what he is thinking.

"Lizhi, can you talk to Wei Hao and say, your father borrowed it from him and will return it to him later, and now the court needs money!" Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Li and asked.

"Ah, borrow his money?" Li Lizhi heard it, looked at Empress Zhangsun in shock, and then looked at Li Shimin.

"Chaotang really has no money. You know the situation on the border side. The Turkic attacks continue. Chaotang still needs to increase its troops on the border. The father emperor has only been on the throne for four years, and there are many different voices. There are many different voices on the border side. Once I can't take it anymore, hey!" Li Shimin sighed as he spoke.

"Cheng, Father, I told Wei Hao, I don't know if he will agree." Li Lizhi agreed to this matter immediately.

"By the way, girl, how much money do you think this papermaking workshop can make this year?" Li Shimin then asked Li Li.

"Before, Wei Hao promised me that I could get 4 to [-] guang in a year, but now it seems that it will be more than that. Our profit in a month will exceed [-] kan. Now that the winter freezes, at least In [-] months, I estimate that at least [-] yuan can be distributed." Li Lizhi thought about it, and said to Li Shimin, she was really suspicious, why did her father ask this?
