Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 495 I have an idea
Li Shimin asked Wei Hao about the situation of the people in Luoyang, and Wei Hao also told the truth that the people were very poor. Wei Hao didn't know before that the people in Luoyang didn't know how much poorer they were than the people in Chang'an, and there was no way to compare.

In the past, Wei Hao thought that the people in Chang'an were already poor enough. Unexpectedly, the people outside couldn't stand it even more. That's why Wei Hao wanted to open so many workshops in Luoyang, hoping to provide more opportunities for the people to make money, so that the people They can live better, Wei Hao can't do anything else, but Wei Hao can still save a commoner in Luoyang City.

"Well, I know, can I not know? After so many years of war, it's hard to settle down. In the past few years, Chang'an has depended on you. If it weren't for you, the people were as poor as the court. Now those ministers feel that When life gets better, come over to make trouble.

The royal children don't live up to it, they know how to squander, hey, those royal children have never suffered, and they don't know what it's like to be poor. Sometimes, the father is also very embarrassing, trying to trap them I am worried that they will be wronged, but don't get stuck. Seeing them squandering so much, my father is angry again, I really don't know what to do. Li Shimin stood up at this moment and said with a sigh.

"That's what I said, but I still have to be frugal. My son was in Chang'an before, and he didn't care about spending money, but after arriving in Luoyang, he felt that spending money recklessly is a crime!" Wei Hao said with a wry smile.

"You are a kind child. Like your father, you like to help people. Your father admires your father very much. In Chang'an City, there is no one who does not know about your father, and how many people your father has helped? There are not many good people." Li Shimin stood there and said to Wei Hao.

"Hey, that's true, I can't even do it!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

Wei Furong really does not know how many good deeds he has done and how many people he has helped.

"You are different. You are also doing good deeds, but many people don't understand. What you do is even greater. You make people's lives easier!" Li Shimin praised Wei Hao with a smile.

"Thank you for your compliment. I just don't like the poor, and I hope I can do something for them. Actually, I don't want to take care of those things, but I don't care about them, but I feel sorry for them. There's nothing I can do!" Wei Hao said with a wry smile .

Wei Hao actually didn't want to take care of so many things, but now the matter fell on him, no matter what.

"Well, tell me about the situation in Luoyang, and explain it in detail. Come on, Shenyong, drink tea!" Li Shimin said, returning to the tea making position, and said to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao also told Li Shimin what he had seen and heard in Luoyang in detail. After about half an hour, Li Shimin also had a general understanding of Luoyang.

"Well, Shenyong, the nine county magistrates, the emperor let you choose by yourself, okay?" Li Shimin thought about it, and suddenly said this to Wei Hao, Wei Hao was stunned.

"Why are you looking at the emperor? How is it?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and continued to ask.

"That's not going to happen, it's against the rules. If something happens to the county magistrates I picked, those ministers will definitely impeach me to death!" Wei Hao immediately waved his hands and said.

This is a trap and cannot be agreed.

"You child, when did you become less courageous? You are asked to choose people so that you can do things conveniently. Are you still afraid that those ministers will impeach you?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked contemptuously.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's trouble, isn't it? Besides, I'm not familiar with those low-ranking officials. How can I know who is good, who is not good, and who is capable?" Wei Hao immediately explained to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin heard it, it was also true that Wei Hao was not familiar with those officials, so it was really embarrassing for him to choose.

"In this way, my father asked the Ministry of Officials to draw up a list of 27 county magistrate candidates. You can choose, okay?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao.

"This is OK, this is OK, it will be much more convenient." Wei Hao nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Then it's settled like this. Those county magistrates should develop those places well, not to mention Wannian County in Chang'an County, which is half as good. I'm satisfied. At least, many people can live a good life. !” Li Shimin said with emotion.

Then Li Shimin asked about Luoyang's plan, and Wei Hao also answered them one by one.

It was almost noon, and Li Shimin sent someone to inform the Lizheng Palace to ask Empress Changsun to prepare lunch, and Wei Hao was going to have lunch at the Lizheng Palace.

Empress Changsun actually knew that Wei Hao was coming, and she also knew that Wei Hao would come today. She also expected Wei Hao to come. Now that the situation has become like this, only Wei Hao can solve it. Therefore, she also wants to talk to Wei Hao But I didn't expect Wei Hao to stay in Ganlu Palace for so long, Empress Changsun almost sent someone to invite him.

Now that Wei Hao is coming to Lizheng Hall for lunch, Empress Zhangsun is very happy, and immediately sent someone to inform the imperial chef to cook Wei Hao's favorite food, and at the same time sent someone to notify Li Zhi and Li Chengqian, and the others , Empress Changsun didn't intend to shout either.

Wei Hao and Li Shimin talked in the Ganlu Hall for noon, and then they left the Ganlu Hall. At this time, there were still some ministers outside, and when they saw Li Shimin coming out, they saluted immediately.

"Well, there is nothing urgent, just come in the afternoon, Zhenyong and Shenyong are going to the Lizheng Palace, that's all!" Li Shimin said to the ministers.

Those ministers quickly said yes.

When we arrived at Ganlu Hall, Li Lizhi and Li Chengqian had already arrived. Su Mei wanted to come, and she also wanted to come to hear Wei Hao's news about Luoyang, but Li Chengqian refused to let him. The eunuch who notified him made it very clear that this The deputy chief, Empress Sun, called Lizhi and herself, which meant that it was inconvenient for others to come over because there was something important to discuss.

When Wei Hao and the others arrived at the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun was already waiting for Wei Hao at the gate of the main hall.

"I have seen my mother!" Wei Hao said as he went over and saluted.

"Wai Li, this child, this trip to Luoyang is such a short distance, you can stay for two months, really!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"No way, I need to figure out what's going on in Luoyang!" Wei Hao said with a smile, then bowed his hands to Li Chengqian and said, "I've met my brother-in-law!"

"Excuse me, thank you for your hard work!" Li Chengqian also smiled and cupped his hands in return, and then Wei Hao and Li Lizhi looked at each other and smiled.

"Hurry up, come in, it's cold. These days, it's been gloomy. It's snowing and it's not falling. I don't know when it will clear up!" Li Shimin immediately greeted Wei Hao and said, and the group went to the tea room in the Lizheng Hall. Beside the table, Empress Changsun had already laid out snacks and fruits.

"Shen Yong, come here, this is the fruit that just came up as a tribute, and there are desserts. The food will be ready soon. I don't know when you will come over, and some dishes haven't been fried yet!" Empress Changsun held the fruit plate and dessert plate, Followed by Wei Hao and said.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Wei Hao said hurriedly, cupping his hands.

"You're welcome! Take it and eat it!" Empress Changsun said with a smile, while Li Chengqian was sitting there making tea.

"This time Shenyong went to Luoyang, but it brought me a huge surprise. Shenyong is very clear about the situation in Luoyang, and Luoyang will develop well by then! With Shenyong in Luoyang, my father can rest assured. !” Sitting there, Li Shimin said with emotion.

"Well, so is this child. It's only a day's journey, and he didn't come back for two months." Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"By the way, father, there is something that I need to report. Qin Tianjian said that if the cloudy sky continues, it is very likely that there will be a blizzard, and the scope of the blizzard this time may be very wide. There may be no problem at the side, Jingzhao Mansion has stored enough food and cold-proof materials, but other places may not be well stocked!" Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin worriedly and said.

Li Shimin sat and frowned when he heard it, it was Blizzard again.

"There is no problem in Luoyang. I have checked the food myself. What I am worried about is that Luoyang is not as good as Chang'an in terms of keeping out the cold. There are not so many brick and tile houses there. Once the houses collapse too much, the people will not even have shelter from the cold." No!" Wei Hao also said worriedly.

"I hope it will be fine soon. If the cloudy weather continues like this, it will be troublesome! However, the problem should not be serious. Shen Yong made a lot of reserves in Jingzhao Mansion before, and I have to thank Shen Yong for this!" Li Shimin said. Said.

"At that time, the royal family will also pay for some food and supplies. The royal family is bound to do so!" Empress Changsun also took up the topic.

"By the way, Shen Yong, you must know what happened recently. There is a lot of trouble now, do you have a good idea?" Li Chengqian immediately stared at Wei Hao and said.

"If you have an idea, don't ask, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Li Shimin took the topic first and said.

"Oh, do you have an idea? That's good, Shenyong, my mother does not support giving the money from the internal funds to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although the internal funds are rich, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also rising. To take it back, if the Ministry of Civil Affairs sees that a person has money, he can also take it back? Wouldn't the world be in chaos!

It's not that the queen mother is reluctant to part with the money. Although the royal children have spent a lot of money, there is also a lot of money spent on the common people. And Shen Yong, you know that Yuan Jing and Li Ke are going to get married this year. Yuanchang wants to get married, and there will be many people who want to get married in the next year. All of these need money. No matter how little it is, it needs tens of thousands of dollars.

Especially those brothers of your father, if you give less, they should have an opinion. After finishing the main affairs of the royal family, the queen mother can take out part of it and give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Moreover, in the past two years, your father and emperor have also transferred money from internal funds. You and Li Zhi got back the internal funds. It was also handed over to the royal family, and it can't be justified to the Ministry of Civil Affairs! "Empress Changsun looked at Wei Hao and said why she didn't give it.

"The queen mother is right. Personal money is personal money. The Ministry of Civil Affairs relies on tax collection, not on operating to make money. I have always meant this, unless it is a material controlled by the court, such as salt and iron. This must be paid by the court. It is controlled, and the profit needs to be given to the court, and now the profit of the salt and iron business is actually very large, and there are millions of dollars a year!" Sitting there, Wei Hao nodded and said.

When Empress Changsun heard what Wei Hao said, she felt relieved, knowing that Wei Hao's idea must also be opposed to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Well, I don't want to talk about court affairs today. Shen Yong and I chatted in Ganlu Palace all morning. Let's stop talking and talk about other things. Shen Yong, the two of you will get married in spring. After you two get married, Do you plan to live in Chang'an or Luoyang? If you live in Luoyang, the emperor will reward you with a piece of land covering 200 acres. You can also build a mansion in Luoyang. Anyway, you have two dukes and you need two. Mansion, Luoyang Inspector, you have been in charge, you are in charge, father rest assured!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Okay, then build a mansion. I still feel inconvenient to live in the governor's mansion!" Wei Hao immediately said happily after hearing this.

"Well, when you get married, the emperor will reward you." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Royal Father!" Wei Hao and Li Lizhi immediately said thanks with their hands clasped together.

"Well, it's the father who wants to thank you. Although the ministers are arguing now, the father is not annoyed once. On the contrary, he is a little happy. At least, it is not a few years ago. A few years ago, there was really no money. Now that you have money, you just need to give it to someone, no big deal! The purpose of those aristocratic families promoting this matter is very clear, they want to occupy more shares in Luoyang, Shen Yong, for this, Do you have an opinion?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"I can't give them too much. What I want is to give more to the people of Luoyang!" Wei Hao thought about it and said.

"For the people of Luoyang?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao in confusion.

"I plan to use the land in Luoyang to invest in the shares. That is to say, in the future when I build a workshop in Luoyang, Luoyang Prefecture will hold [-]% of the shares, and the county where the construction site is located will hold half of the shares. The dividends of these shares, after a year, are estimated to be quite a lot of money! In this way, Luoyang Mansion can be built well.

In addition, Erchen is now planning to start the complete registration of household registration, and in the future, it may be necessary to distribute dividends to the people according to household registration. Of course, the premise of this is that Luoyang Mansion is very rich and can't be spent! " Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.

"Then if you are like this, the people and officials here in Chang'an will be depressed to death. They have to stop you from taking office in Luoyang. You don't know that after you went to Luoyang, many people came to Jingzhao Mansion to make trouble. Now, I can't let you go to Luoyang, but let you stay in Chang'an, Chang'an County and Wannian County are the same, they are here to make trouble, I hope you can stay!" After hearing this, Li Chengqian looked at Wei Hao a little depressed Said.

If Wei Hao does this in Luoyang, then the speed of Luoyang's development can be imagined.

"Well, I don't want to go either, you ask Father!" Wei Hao said with a wry smile when he heard this.

"It's okay, Chang'an is already very good. Now the emperor wants to develop Luoyang. In addition, starting from this month, the money from the internal funds should be spent as little as possible. Now the officials have opinions on spending the internal funds like this. , Moreover, on the border side, the conflict has been intensifying. The surrounding countries all know that once Datang recovers, it will kill them.

Fortunately, in the past few years, we have made their countries poor by selling goods. They can't fight now if they want to. On the contrary, the initiative of the timing of the war is on our side, only Goguryeo. Has been in the northeast direction, aggressive, I really can't spare my hand now, if I can spare, I must deal with Goguryeo severely! "Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, because of Goguryeo, Datang had 30 soldiers on the northeast side for defense.

"If there is a chance, clean up the northwest and north first, and then clean up the northeast! I guess it will be two years!" Wei Hao immediately persuaded Li Shimin.

Wei Hao knew that Li Shimin had always hoped to solve the border problem completely.Then a few people chatted about the affairs of the border, saying that they should not talk about the affairs of the court, but they were talking about the affairs of the court.

Li Lizhi sat there and seldom spoke. Wei Hao didn't know what was wrong with her, but it was inconvenient to ask her here now.

After eating, Wei Hao said goodbye and wanted to go back, Li Lizhi sent Wei Hao out.

"What's wrong with you today?" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi and asked in a low voice.

"What else can I do? People come to inquire about your thoughts every day, about Luoyang, about the ownership of those shares this time. Anyway, there are people every day, and people send greeting cards every day. I dare not go out, so I let sister Siyuan go. , Sister Siyuan is also very annoying now, Uncle Yaoshi hopes to return to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, what should you tell Sister Siyuan to say, who should I support?" Li Lizhi said with a sigh.

"Ask you why, how do you know? Really, these people are also free. When I was in Luoyang, those people also came to visit. I ignored them, and I just met the patriarch!" Wei Hao was also very irritable when he heard that Said.

"Hey, now everyone knows that Luoyang is going to develop greatly, who doesn't stare at this piece of fat?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao with a wry smile and said.

"It's okay, I'll share the fat. If anyone annoys you, you can see how I'll deal with them. How dare I come to harass you. It's really bold!" Wei Hao said very unhappy.

Li Lizhi heard it, nodded and said, "Anyway, be careful yourself. It's best not to go home today. If you want to go back, you have to go back before the curfew. Otherwise, just watch, the threshold of your house will be stepped on." broken."

Li Lizhi reminded Wei Hao with a smile.

"Then where am I going?" Wei Hao looked at Li Li and asked.

"How would I know?" Li Lizhi smiled and shook her head.

"Then let's go home. I guess there will be many people waiting for me in the living room of my house. Do you believe it?" Wei Hao said with a wry smile.

And right now in Wei Hao's house, there are really many people sitting in his house, including Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, they all eat here at noon.
