Sitting there, Wei Hao didn't know what to answer when he heard what Wei Yuanzhao said. Wei Hao had never cared about how the internal money was spent, and besides, it was not his responsibility. up.

"This time, when you came to Luoyang, everyone was staring at them. They just hoped that the workshop would still issue shares, and everyone would just buy shares. There are more people with opinions,

Shen Yong, you have to think clearly, the wealth in the world cannot be given to the royal family, and it may not be a good thing to give it all to the royal family. Now those princes are also making money everywhere. If they make money, then they are making money for ordinary people For the money, do you think it is appropriate? "Wei Yuanzhao continued to say to Wei Hao,

After Wei Hao heard it, he didn't speak, but sat there thinking.

"Shen Yong, everyone came here this time, hoping to reach an agreement and promote this matter together. Why did so many princes also send people here this time? It's because they are a little unconvinced. The royal family got so much money. Why can't they do it? So, they have also come here and hope to talk to you. Also, many officials also hope that the shares this time will be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, not to the royal family.

The last time about those new workshops, the royal family and the Ministry of Civil Affairs fought once. This time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will continue to fight, and at the same time stand up together, as well as those governors, don’t drive, county magistrates, etc., they You should also strive for it, otherwise, every time you ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs to apply for money, there will be no money! "Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao sighed and poured tea for Wei Yuanzhao.

"Shen Yong, you have to know that you have done a lot for the royal family these years, but does the royal family really care about you? Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about Su Rui before. Although he didn't directly conflict with you, But those businessmen you knew at the beginning were all taken care of by him, and the princess didn't take you seriously. Think about it, do other people in the royal family really take you seriously? They just put You treat it as a tool to make money!"

"Okay, don't say such things!" Wei Hao heard Wei Yuanzhao's words getting more and more excessive, and immediately reminded him that there are some things that cannot be said. If Wei Hao doesn't say it himself, it doesn't mean he doesn't know.

"Shen Yong, what do you mean? Are you on His Majesty's side, or on the side of all the officials?" Wei Yuanzhao immediately stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"It's none of my business, you guys are eating enough to support yourself, and you just started working on things after two years, really, I'm convinced!" Wei Hao said, looking at Wei Yuanzhao with a sigh.

"You can't say that!" Wei Yuanzhao disagreed with Wei Hao's words.

"Okay, I don't want to hear it anymore, is there anything else?" Wei Hao waved his hand, signaling Wei Yuanzhao to stop talking.

"Yes, this time there is only a county magistrate. Can our Wei family get one? In addition, I want to transfer Wei Cong here to serve as the assistant driver. Wei Cong also has the qualifications. Although we still need to be promoted by half a level, our It's okay to operate here!" Wei Yuanzhao asked Wei Hao.

"Don't even think about it, His Majesty has already decided on the candidate. I can't tell you who it is for!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao, feeling a little annoyed. Wei Cong didn't know how much family resources he had used. Now he still has to give him resources, but Wei Chen hasn't used much of the family's resources. Now that he's an earl, Wei Yuanzhao doesn't say to take care of him.

"It's settled?" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao hesitantly after listening.

"Well, it's settled, don't tell the outside world, the influence is not good, don't come to me about the county magistrate, I won't talk about it, you can go to His Majesty, I guess, His Majesty will not give it to you, next These nine county magistrates definitely need His Majesty's nod, and it is estimated that the background is also considered!" Wei Hao said to Wei Yuanzhao.

"Here, if you come here to be the governor, our family will not gain anything!" Wei Yuanzhao said, looking at Wei Hao complainingly.

"What benefits do you want, huh? I still want to ask you for benefits?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao very annoyedly and asked, why everything needs benefits.

"This!" Wei Yuanzhao realized that Wei Hao was a little angry, so he didn't dare to say anything immediately.

"Benefits, benefits, let me ask you, what benefits did I get from the family, and what benefits did my elder brother get from the family? Why, we two brothers are so unpopular? Why don't you want Wei Chen to be Luoyang's boss?" Why did you think of Wei Cong?" Wei Hao stared at Wei Yuanzhao and questioned him, Wei Yuanzhao was taken aback for a moment, then said:
"Well, Wei Chen is still young after all, and he has been very good since he just served as the county magistrate of Wannian County. I think that after he finishes serving as the county magistrate of Wannian County, he will be able to return to the Six Departments. There is no need for this. Transferred?" Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Hao carefully and said.

"However. If Wei Shen arrives in Luoyang, he will be upgraded directly. After returning from Luoyang, he will be the servant, wouldn't it be better?" Wei Hao stared at Wei Yuanzhao and continued to question, but Wei Yuanzhao was speechless .

"Don't get involved in the appointment here, Your Majesty won't let it go easily!" Wei Hao reminded Wei Yuanzhao, and Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Hao.

"Also, you tell those patriarchs that I will disappear this time, let them go back, and the meeting is nothing more than the matter of shares, appointment of officials, these things, don't tell me, I don't want to hear, you really If you want to win those benefits, go to your majesty!" Wei Hao said to Wei Yuanzhao while sitting there.

"This, isn't it good?" Wei Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, reminding Wei Hao.

"What's wrong? No, I'm here to inspect this time, and I won't make any decisions, just take a look!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said, while Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Hao.

"I really won't make any decisions this time. Don't come to me, and I won't leak any news. Everyone knows that Luoyang is going to develop, and I can't let those people give all the benefits. Take it, I also need to leave some opportunities for the people and businessmen in Luoyang, right? This is Luoyang, the locals don’t want to make money, can’t they?” Wei Hao sat there, watching Wei Yuanzhao speak, Wei Yuanzhao heard, It was looking at Wei Hao.

"Patriarch, this matter is settled like this, that is, you come, and if someone else comes, I won't see you at all. I have a lot of things to do now, and I don't have time to chat with you here!" Wei Hao walked back Leaning on it, he opened his mouth and said.

"What can you be busy with? I see you go down there every day. What's there to see? Others are officials, but they're not as tired as you!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said.

"If you don't go down and look, can I know how the people are doing? Can I know what else I need to do? Okay, patriarch, anyway, you go out and tell them, don't come to me, I won't see anyone, those merchants should go back Just go back, if you want to invest here, invest here, I won't care about anything, and I won't give any advice, it's not time!" Wei Hao said while sitting there, looking at Wei Yuanzhao.

"Okay!" Wei Yuanzhao sighed, knowing that there was no way to persuade Wei Hao, but he didn't know why Wei Hao did this.

Soon, Wei Yuanzhao went out. Wei Hao thought about it, and immediately returned to the desk, took a pen and began to write, and issued a document, which was to request that the government not sell any land in Luoyang. If you want land, you can buy it from the common people. The government will not sell it, and it will be temporarily frozen!
After finishing writing, Wei Hao handed over to a soldier to send to Wang Rongyi, while he continued to lean there, wanting to take a rest,
That afternoon, many people came to see Wei Hao, but Wei Hao was blocked by his own soldiers, and he didn't see anyone. Early the next morning, Wei Hao continued to ride down to inspect. After those people heard the news, He also sighed endlessly, many people didn't know what Wei Hao meant at all, why they didn't even see them.

At this moment, in a mansion in Luoyang, Wei Yuanzhao and the other patriarchs were also sitting here, drinking tea and chatting.

"You don't believe what I said, you know now, he hasn't seen anyone, and he won't release any news now, everyone, don't worry about it, I guess, we still have to wait until spring to find out, now, We should go back!" Wei Yuanzhao said while sitting there, looking at the patriarchs.

"That's what I said, but you just bought land from the common people yesterday. If I remember correctly, you bought 200 acres of land in the suburbs!" The head of the Cui family looked at Wei Yuanzhao and asked. .

"No way, Wei Hao issued a document in the afternoon. The transaction is not allowed, so I can only buy it from the common people. As for me, I also want to take a chance. I bought all mountain land. This kid, hehe, no He will destroy fertile land. He always uses mountains as his suggestions. I also went outside the city to have a look. The eastern suburbs, western suburbs, and southern suburbs all have mountainous land. I bought some from various places, but the best location is still If you can't buy it, it's all from the government, and Luoyang doesn't dare to sell it!" Wei Yuanzhao said with a smile.

"There are still shops. You can buy no less than ten shops in the city!" The head of the Cui family continued to ask.

"Similarly, I don't know what areas Wei Hao will vigorously develop at that time, so it's better to buy some of them, and you can buy them too, don't blame me!" Wei Yuanzhao said while looking at them with a smile.

"Patriarch Wei, do you think Wei Hao will definitely develop this place?" The head of the Wang family looked at Wei Yuanzhao and asked.

"You said, without vigorous development, he can go to various places to inspect. You have forgotten that when he was the county magistrate in Wannian County, he also inspected all the areas, and then there was a large-scale construction, and all those roads were repaired. The safe houses in each village have also been built, and how many people there are in each place, he has investigated clearly,
What kind of place is Wannian County now? What a wonderful place. The living standards of Wannian County and Luoyang Prefecture are simply the same as the sky and the ground. I believe that Shen Yong will hold a meeting to focus on the development of Luoyang. Well, His Majesty seldom wins easily. That is to say, the governor of Luoyang may have been Shen Yong in the past few decades. You think, can Shen Yong develop well? " Wei Yuan looked at them and said.

"That's right, that's right, that's true!" When the others heard this, they nodded and said, "It's really true. Once you become the governor, basically it won't change. Therefore, here, it may always be Wei Hao." managed.

"Have you ever thought about it? Your Majesty also intends to let Wei Hao be here. One is that he does not want Wei Hao to participate in the competition of those princes. The other is that Chang'an needs Luoyang to guard. Once there is something in Chang'an, Luoyang's troops will immediately will be able to arrive,
Therefore, His Majesty handed over the most important position to Shen Yong, and he also trusted Shen Yong. Therefore, it may be a lifetime for Wei Hao to be the governor of Luoyang. His Majesty trusts Shen Yong the most, so this place will always be Leave it to Shen Yong to manage. "Hearing what Wei Yuanzhao said, the head of the Cui family immediately nodded in appreciation and said.

"Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the things I bought here. I will continue to buy them tomorrow!" Wei Yuanzhao said as he sat there.

"I mobilized 1 yuan from my family this time to buy all the land. Now the land outside Chang'an City is very valuable. As for the land in the industrial zone, 50 yuan per mu was too expensive before. Now, the price has already gone down." When it reaches 1000 yuan per mu, it will be [-] times more in one year!" The head of the Zheng family also said.

"Okay, but it's best not to make a big fuss. I'm worried that this boy Shen Yong will find out, and he will be in trouble when he gets angry!" Wei Yuanzhao said worriedly. He is a little afraid of Wei Hao now. Wei Hao's energy is too great. The ability is too strong, there is nothing he can't do, what he wants to do, he can definitely do it!
But at this moment, in the palace, Li Shimin was sitting there with a livid face, and the basic memorial was placed on the tea table. On the tea table, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai, Li Yuanjing, Li Yuanchang, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, all of them were sitting in the imperial palace. children.

"What's going on? How did this matter come about? Why do so many ministers oppose the expansion of the royal family's internal funds? They also oppose the royal family's continued control of more workshops? Who is the mastermind?" Li Shimin sat there, looking at those people asked.

"Father, I'll investigate right away!" Li Ke stood up and said.

"Father, it's strange these days. There are such memorials coming out every day. At first, I thought it was the idea of ​​the aristocratic family, but later found that many officials who were not from the aristocratic family also wrote memorials to discuss against the royal family's continued control of Luoyang's shares. , This is strange, now there is no action in Luoyang, why is there such a big reaction?" Li Chengqian also looked at Li Shimin and said.

"We all know that when Wei Hao went to Luoyang, the imperial court would definitely develop Luoyang vigorously. Now, many people go to Luoyang to get a share of the pie. The royal family has shares in the workshops opened by Shenyong before, and many The minister is dissatisfied. Now in Luoyang, those people probably think that Shen Yong will definitely open a lot of workshops and raise Luoyang's tax revenue.
In this case, those businessmen are dissatisfied. They worry that the royal family controls too many shares. Therefore, if they want the royal family to give up Luoyang, those businessmen will invest!There are also those officials who come to invest at home. Therefore, this matter, Your Majesty, please pay attention to it. Let’s see how to solve it. I have also heard a lot of news outside, and they are against the continued expansion of royalties. Many people say that the income of the internal money is about to exceed the income of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so many people have great opinions! "Li Xiaogong sat there and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin heard it, and sat there without moving.

"Father, do you want to call Shen Yong back and ask Shen Yong what he can do?" Li Chengqian sat there and said.

"No, Shen Yong is busy sorting out Luoyang's things. He is going to Luoyang for the first time, and he must find out. Calling him back at this time will make Shen Yong unable to find out. Besides, this matter, It has little to do with Shenyong, and Shenyong must also be against those ministers, he wants to hand over the money to the government, the emperor knows this, we call Shenyong back, it is tantamount to putting Shenyong in the middle Roasting on the fire, Shen Yong has good intentions, we can't push Shen Yong to the front!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

"Ah? This?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin a little confused.

"You still don't understand. The pressure they are putting on me now is actually putting pressure on Shen Yong, letting Shen Yong choose whether to choose the Ministry of Civil Affairs or internal money? Understand? They want to use this method to force Shen Yong to stand in line. This Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to come back when the time comes?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said, Li Chengqian nodded.

"Your Majesty, Duke Xia has an urgent secret document!" At this time, Wang De shouted from outside.

"Send it in!" Li Shimin said. Wang De came in with the secret document. After handing it to Li Shimin, he immediately pushed it out and closed the door. Li Shimin looked at the seal, then opened the secret document, unfolded it, and looked at it. It was discovered that Wei Hao was also talking about those ministers.

"Look, Shenyong also knows about it. Someone must have gone looking for him." Li Shimin gave the secret document to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian picked it up and looked at it. There were some suggestions on it, and he hoped that Li Shimin would deal with these matters as soon as possible. Wei Hao is in Luoyang and will not leak any news to buy time for Li Shimin.

"See, Shen Yong is still on my side. If he publicly says that he wants to build a workshop, just wait and see, there will be more objections. Now we still have to think of a way to see how to deal with it. Something!" Li Shimin said as he sat there, and the secret documents were being passed around among those people.

When it was Li Daozong's turn to watch, Li Daozong sighed with emotion and said, "Your Majesty, Shen Yong has been under tremendous pressure for doing this. So many merchants, so many families, and the nobles here in the capital have sent people to Went to Luoyang, and Wei Hao didn’t leak a word, how many people will complain about Shen Yong!”

"Hey, yes, so hurry up and sort this out!" Li Shimin sighed and said.

"You can't hand over the internal money to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, can you?" Li Tai sat there, looked at them and asked.
