Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 496 Give it to whoever I want

Li Jing and the others are waiting at Wei Hao's mansion. They know that Wei Hao will definitely have dinner in the palace. After all, after not returning to Chang'an for so long, Li Shimin will definitely invite Wei Hao to dinner, but they want to tell Wei Hao earlier, so He went directly to Wei Hao's mansion.

When Wei Hao went back, he found that many people were waiting at the gate of the mansion. They were all officials below the third rank. It is necessary to send a greeting card, and whether I can see it or not depends on my mood.

"My lord, you are back, Dai Guogong and the others are already at the mansion!" Seeing Wei Hao's return, the gatekeeper immediately went over and said to Wei Hao.

"Oh, good!" Wei Hao nodded.

"Also, what about these people outside? They all sent up greeting cards." The porter looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, you tell them, no, I have something to do in the afternoon and I don't have time to see them. I know what they want from me. It's inconvenient to say now." Wei Hao thought about it, not wanting to give himself the impression that he was crazy, so he said He explained to the concierge steward.

"Okay, young master!" The porter nodded immediately, and when Wei Hao arrived at the living room, he found that Wei Furong was making tea for Li Jing and the others.

"Father-in-law, room servant shoot, Gao Shangshu is good!" Wei Hao said after entering, cupping his hands.

"Well, Shenyong is back?" They saw Wei Hao approaching, stood up and said in return.

"Have you eaten yet?" Wei Furong asked Wei Hao.

"Eat it!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile.

"Then you come and make tea. I'm going to have a look at the restaurant. Everyone, I'm sorry, so I won't bother you to talk about things." Wei Furong stood up and said to them.

"I'm sorry." Li Jing and the others stood there and said.

"Why don't you go to my study?" Wei Hao thought about it for a while. It's not convenient to talk about some things here, so we should talk about them in the study.

"Okay, go to your study!" They nodded when they heard it, and hoped that they could clarify this matter today.

Soon, they arrived at Wei Hao's study, and the servants immediately went over to burn the stove, and Wei Hao also started to boil water on it.

"Do you know what's going on with the court now? When you were in Luoyang before, you didn't see anyone. You probably wanted to avoid suspicion. We can understand this, but this time you should stand up and speak out. Internal money controls so much Wealth, those wealth are all squandered for your royal family, this is not right.

Although the income of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has increased in the past few years, it is still far from enough. This time you went to Luoyang, and you probably saw how the lives of the people below are!Chaotang urgently needs money to improve this state! "Li Jing sat down and said to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao nodded and did not speak. Fang Xuanling and Li Jing looked at each other, feeling bad, so Fang Xuanling smiled and said to Wei Hao: "Shen Yong, what is your opinion, can you tell me? ? Everyone knows that those workshops were established by you, and you still have authority when you speak."

"Fang Pushe, father-in-law, and old uncle, I am opposed to the use of internal funds in this matter. I oppose the participation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the workshop. The Ministry of Civil Affairs relies on tax collection, not on business operations. Once the Ministry of Civil Affairs Participating in the management, in the future, there will be chaos. Of course, I can understand that you think that the royal family controls too much money. You can fight for this, but you shouldn’t fight for the money to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs? I strongly oppose this! "Wei Hao immediately expressed his attitude.

"Here, Shen Yong, you should know that His Majesty has always wanted to fight a war, and wanted to completely solve the problem of border security. How can he fight without money? Do you have to rely on domestic funds to save money? There is not much money in domestic funds now. Gao Shilian looked at Wei Hao anxiously and said.

"I don't care about this. What I object to is the participation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the workshop. As for the internal money, how do you discuss it? That's your business. I will never give the shares of the workshop to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Department, cannot participate in the operation." Wei Hao emphasized to them.

Fang Xuanling and the others heard it, and sat there thinking about Wei Hao's words.

"So, if we object to Luoyang and the workshops after Chang'an and don't give internal money, you have no objection?" Fang Xuanling looked up at Wei Hao and asked.

"What do I have to say? This is your business. To whom the shares are given is the business of the operator, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs cannot occupy the shares. Of course, how much can the internal funds of the workshop in Luoyang get? It depends on you, to what extent you can object, that is your business!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Oh, that's fine too." Fang Xuanling felt a little more relaxed when he heard Wei Hao say that. If this is the case, then it's better.

"However, if you don't give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can only give it to internal funds. Is it a good thing that internal funds control so much wealth?" Li Jing looked at Wei Hao and asked.

Wei Hao heard it, but didn't speak.

"Shen Yong, just the four of us, if you have anything to say, you might as well speak up!" Gao Shilian looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Well, in fact, I don't give internal money, so who should I give it to? To the family? To the lord? To those court officials? I want to ask you, who is the most suitable to give it to? According to my original wish, I hope to give it to the common people. Yes, but the common people have no money to buy the shares of the workshop, what should we do?" Wei Hao asked them rhetorically.

"This?" Fang Xuanling looked at the two of them after hearing this.

The two of them are also thinking about Wei Hao's question, who is the most suitable for them.

"Last time in those workshops in Wannian County, I originally wanted to allow the people in Chang'an City to buy shares, but in the end, according to my investigation, [-]% of the shares flowed into the lord, the royal children and the court chiefs. In the hands of the members, [-]% is probably obtained by the aristocratic family, and the remaining [-]% is those small businessmen, and now the small businessmen control less and less, and they are all bought by others. Therefore, the money will eventually be given to Who is good? Can any of you give me an answer?" Wei Hao continued to talk to them.

Last time Wei Hao got out the shares, but he didn't expect that all these shares flowed into the hands of those people, and ordinary businessmen didn't get many shares at all!

"Here, Shenyong, what do you think? Who is the best to give to, or is the internal money not enough?" Gao Shilian looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"If it is given to the noble family, then I would rather give it to the royal family. At the very least, when the royal family grows bigger and the family is weak, the court will not be chaotic, and the world will not be chaotic. And if it is given to the nobles, it doesn't matter. The nobles follow the royal family." , It should be given to the court officials, that's okay, they also support the royal family, so they can be given to the royal family, nobles, and high officials, but not to the aristocratic family.

However, the aristocratic family is still very powerful in the court, and I guess the aristocratic family is behind this matter. Although there is no evidence, many of the court officials are also members of the aristocratic family. I am worried that these Things will eventually flow into the hands of the family.

So, now I don't know what to do, who is better for it, and in addition, to say something crazy, I made those workshops, and I can give them to whoever I want. What should Hao do?Am I wrong? " Wei Hao stared at them and asked.

The water was boiling now, and Wei Hao took the kettle and started to make tea.

But when they heard it, they nodded. It was indeed Wei Hao who made it. Wei Hao can give it to whoever he wants, how much and how, Wei Hao has the final say.

"Since this is the case, then I would like to ask, why did those aristocratic families and those officials write a letter saying how the workshops in Luoyang should be distributed in the future? Who of them has the qualifications to say such things? People who don't know think that the workshops They made it!" Wei Hao smiled and continued.

"Ha, don't get me wrong, they said this mainly because they have opinions on how internal funds control so many workshops, they don't want to make decisions for you, no one can make decisions for you, right?" Fang Xuanling immediately comforted with a wry smile Wei Hao said.

"Of course I know it, but they don't know it themselves, and they still try to convince me every day? Is it necessary for my workshops to distribute shares? Of course, I didn't say what you mean, I mean those people from aristocratic families, When I was in Luoyang before, they came to me every day, meaning that they want to cooperate with me to build those workshops?
Hey, I'm wondering, do I, Wei Hao, have no money, no power, or no ability?Who else do you have to cooperate with?Can I eat it all by myself?OK? "Wei Hao continued to talk to Fang Xuanling and the others.

"Of course!" Fang Xuanling nodded quickly.

Gao Shilian also quickly nodded with a smile and said: "This is for sure, Shen Yong, don't get me wrong!"

"Uncle, it's not that I misunderstood, it's that many people think that I'm Shenyong, I'm easy to talk, and think that my workshops have distributed shares before, and when I set up a workshop in the future, the shares must be distributed, and they must be distributed. Isn't this nonsense?" Wei Hao looked at Gao Shilian and said.

"Yes yes yes!" Gao Shilian nodded hastily. At this moment they realized that it is really Wei Hao's business whether to share the shares or not. It is also Wei Hao's business who gets the shares. No one can decide, including His Majesty and the royal family.

"So again, who stipulated that I must give to the Ministry of Civil Affairs? So many officials wrote that in the future, the shares of Luoyang Workshop could not be given to internal money, but to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. What do you mean? They gave me Make the decision?" Wei Hao continued to question the three of them.

The three of them laughed bitterly at this moment.

"Shen Yong, it seems that there is a big misunderstanding here!" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Hey, do you think that group of people are idle? They only lived a few days of good life, but they forgot how to live a poor life? When the Ministry of Civil Affairs had no money before, and they couldn't even get the money for disaster relief, they all forgot No? Now the tax has doubled, and with the income from salt and iron, there will be even more, and the price of iron has dropped so much, reducing a lot of military expenditures. Now they are actually thinking about commanding me. It's done, command me to help them make money." Wei Hao said with a self-deprecating smile.

"I don't mean that, Shenyong, you know very well that everyone is mainly targeting the royal family money this time, not you." Fang Xuanling explained to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao nodded, and then said: "I know that everyone is not targeting me, but you are doing this, which makes me very uncomfortable. Those people actually want to come to me and say that they want to share my money? Tell me, I What kind of mood, if you come, it doesn't matter, I will definitely share, but those people I don't know at all want to come to share the money, what do you mean by that?"

After Fang Xuanling and the others heard it, they could only smile wryly, knowing that Wei Hao had a problem with this, and the next step was a bit difficult.

"Shen Yong, in terms of facts, do you think the royal family needs to control so many workshops?" Li Jing asked Wei Hao at this moment.

"Father-in-law, I can't say anything about this matter. You can only say it. Don't come to me. What's the use of looking for me? Will I not give it if I say no? Also, even if I don't give it to the royal family, I just said He also said very clearly, to whom? To the lord, to the family, to the officials? You need to talk about this, anyway, you can't give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing and said.

Li Jing looked at Wei Hao helplessly. If he didn't give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who would have the ability to snatch things from the royal family? Wouldn't it be courting death to snatch things by oneself?

"Well, I believe that other officials will also work together to promote this matter. Let's wait and see, it's not a good thing for the royal family to control so much wealth!" Li Jing said to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao nodded, then poured tea for them.

"Okay, let's not talk about this! Tell me about your affairs in Luoyang, what are your plans in Luoyang?" Fang Xuanling asked Wei Hao.

"I don't know yet. I wrote the memorial and handed it over to my father. After he finished reading it, I don't know if he can approve it. If he can approve it, of course it would be the best." Wei Hao didn't tell them the specifics. Things, the specifics cannot be said, once said, the news may leak out.

"Can't you leak some information to us?" Gao Shilian asked Wei Hao with a smile at the moment.

"I really can't, hey, you all know that in Luoyang, I don't know how many people are staring at me. No matter where I go to investigate, there will always be people following me, wanting to ask me for news!" Wei Hao said with a smile and shook his head. .

"But the development of Luoyang is certain, right?" Fang Xuanling asked Wei Hao with a smile.

"That's for sure. However, you don't have to worry. You will definitely not lose your share. Don't inquire about those things. What I am worried about now is the family. You also know that the family has a huge influence. Well, no one knows who is from their family. Maybe, those industries in Luoyang will be controlled by the family. They had no choice but to be watched by His Majesty in Chang'an, but in Luoyang they don't have so many Don't worry, if they know the news in advance, hehe, who knows how many shares of the workshop will fall into their hands!" Wei Hao comforted them.

Wei Hao will definitely consider them.

"That's true, but if you don't share some benefits with the aristocratic family this time, I guess the aristocratic family will have a lot of opinions. It's not good to besiege you then." Li Jing reminded Wei Hao.

"I'm sure I'll divide it, but it's up to me, not them messing around below, right?" Wei Hao said with a smile.

The others nodded and chatted for a while, Li Jing and the others left, and Wei Hao notified the porter that no one disappeared today, and returned the greeting cards they received, and told them well, let They have something to do, they will come to visit in a few days, I have to rest today, I am tired after returning from Luoyang.

After sending off Li Jing and the others, Wei Hao went to the shed of the cold melons to see those cold melons. Those cold melons are not small anymore, they are as big as football in later generations. It is estimated that there are still ten days at most. It was about to ripen, and Wei Hao took a closer look at the cold melons in the greenhouse, but there were quite a few, probably thousands of them.

"My lord, are you here? These cold melons are growing really well. Look, they are all green vines. I guess, after ten days, you will definitely be able to eat cold melons." The servant in charge of the greenhouse , saw Wei Hao coming, and immediately said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, not bad, by the way, it is estimated that it will snow heavily in the next few days, please be careful not to let the heavy snow collapse the greenhouse!" Wei Hao said to the servant.

"Young master, don't worry, how can the shed be crushed by the heavy snow, the few of us are here to watch every day!" The servant immediately nodded and said.

Wei Hao nodded, and went back to the front yard. He sat in the study and drank tea. At the gate of Wei Hao's mansion, there were still people who wanted to see him. There were officials, people from aristocratic families, and businessmen. He wanted to come to visit Wei Hao, but Wei Hao didn't see him.

At this time, Wei Chen was also on duty. When he learned that Wei Hao was back, he also wanted to come and see Wei Hao. When he rode to Wei Hao's mansion and found so many people there, he was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of Before that, many officials wanted to entrust themselves to say hello to Wei Hao, hoping to participate in Luoyang's workshop, but Wei Chen didn't agree to anyone.

"Brother Jinxian is here? He is also visiting Xia Guogong?" A person who knew Wei Chen saw Wei Chen coming, and immediately came over and cupped his hands.

"Well, come to my uncle's house to sit down, not to see Shen Yong, well, you are busy, I will go in first!" Wei Chen also got off his horse and said, he did not say that he came to see Wei Hao, but that he came to see Wei Furong.

"It seems that they are not allowed to enter. Xia Guogong said that no one will be seen today. It seems that Master Wei is not at the mansion, but in Juxian Building!" The official immediately reminded Wei Chen.

"That's it, then I'll go in and wait, uncle will be back soon!" Wei Chen nodded, handed the horse to his servants, and walked straight to the gate of Wei Hao's mansion.

"I said no, but he still went over. Really, who does he think he is?" At this time, in the distance, a person underestimated in a low voice.

"Hmph, what do you know? He is Xia Guogong's cousin, can he still get in?" Another official said with a cold snort. At this time, they discovered that Wei Chen actually went in. Don't stop him.
