Chapter 309: If you want to fight, let's fight
Chapter 309
Li Shimin wanted Wei Hao to persuade Li Tai, but Wei Hao didn't go, he didn't have much interest in this Li Tai, and of course he didn't have any hatred, but this kid likes to think he is very smart, Wei Hao doesn't want to play with him, it's boring.
"As your brother-in-law, if you go and persuade, he will listen to you!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.
"You can pull it down, he won't listen to anyone now, let's talk about it in a few years, I know what people of this age will think!" Wei Hao immediately waved his hand and said, I won't go.
"You, okay, I'll tell you someday." Li Shimin said helplessly to Wei Hao.
Now if you want Wei Hao to do some work, it is more difficult than anything else, this kid is very wary of himself, not because of other things, but because he is lazy, this kid is very lazy and doesn't want to work.
"Father, is there anything else, if there is nothing to do, I will go to the harem to see my mother, and then take a look at my aunt, the patriarch also said about me in the morning, saying that I didn't go to see her, saying that my nephew has an opinion about her, the conscience of heaven and earth, I'm just very busy." Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.
"Okay, okay. Go ahead, by the way, did you bring any wine? After Li Shimin waved his hand, he thought of this matter and asked Wei Hao.
"It's gone, I only sent it to the Lizheng Hall three days ago!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in shock and asked.
"Isn't it, well, many ministers come to beg for wine, you say that as the emperor, it is impossible not to give some, right?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and said.
"Father, do you drink every day?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in surprise and asked.
"No, give it to them, they can't buy it, they said that the house has a treat, so they came to me to ask for it!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.
"I, you, father, let's not bring this kind of work, I gave you to drink, you don't drink, you give it to others, and then came to ask me, three days ago, I just sent 50 catties over, and now I don't let the wine, I will collect the wine lees, eh, okay, I will send someone to send it over at night!" Wei Hao is very helpless, this father is unreliable.
"Hehe, there's no way around it, I also know that this jade liquor is difficult, but it's delicious, everyone likes this wine now!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao with a smile.
Wei Hao nodded and said goodbye to Li Shimin, and soon, he went to the side of the Lizheng Palace, and after chatting with Empress Changsun for a while, Wei Hao went to Wei Guifei's palace, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, naturally there was a eunuch to report.
"Oh, my nephew come here, quick, let him in!" Wei Guifei was very happy when she heard it.
Originally, it was very boring in the palace, and Wei Hao was indeed promising, fighting for his face, but he didn't come much, of course, he never lost his share of gifts during the New Year's holidays.
"I've seen my aunt!" After Wei Hao arrived at the living room of Wei Guifei's palace, he immediately saluted Wei Guifei and said.
"Well, excuse me, you kid hasn't been here for a while, but my aunt also knows that because you're busy, Your Majesty has nagged you several times, saying that you won't go to the Ganlu Palace!" Wei Guifei said to Wei Hao with a smile, and then asked Wei Hao to sit down at the tea table, and Wei Guifei personally made tea for Wei Hao.
"Yes, since the beginning of spring this year, I haven't been idle, and my father has been trying to trick me and want me to run errands, but I won't do it!" Wei Hao said with a smile.
"You, ordinary people want His Majesty to run an errand for them, but they don't have a chance yet, that is, our family is cautious, so we have such a ability, my aunt asked you to come over, and there is nothing to do, just let you come and sit.
You also know that my aunt can't go out, so sometimes I think about my family, but it's not so easy for other people to come in, but you can come in at any time, so aunt, I just want to talk to you and ask how things are going on in the family? Wei Guifei said to Wei Hao with a smile.
"That's my nephew's, my nephew will come often in the future!" Wei Hao heard it and said to Wei Guifei with a smile.
"Well, it's going to come often, and the family's situation is okay now?" Wei Guifei asked.
"It's okay, the patriarch is still at my house in the morning, and now the family's brick mill business has divided tens of thousands of dollars, and the patriarch has kept 20%, and the rest is distributed to the children who have entered the office, and it is used to help the family's families who are in difficulty and train the children of the family to study." Wei Hao nodded and said.
"It's still up to you, otherwise, they are all in trouble, the previous ways to make money are not a long-term way, only the business you give them is, Shen Yong, now the family is starting to decline, what about you, you should reach out to help the family, sometimes, the family is the family!" Wei Guifei said to Wei Hao.
"Yes, my nephew knows, but I'm busy now, there's no way, my house is too small, the new mansion will be built this year, and the restaurant is also very small, many guests are queuing, so I built a restaurant, this time, there are many things!" Wei Hao nodded and said.
"Well, it's okay, my aunt has heard of your mansion." Wei Guifei said with a smile, and then the aunt and nephew began to chat.
Almost half an hour, Wei Hao also said goodbye, it's not good for a long time, although there are many palace maids and eunuchs here, but when it's time to avoid suspicion, Wei Hao still needs to avoid suspicion, this is not the Lizheng Palace, in the Lizheng Palace, as long as Wei Hao doesn't stay overnight.
After Wei Hao left the palace, he went to his new mansion, which is still decorating there, but it's almost the same, Wei Furong sent a lot of housekeepers and maids to clean here, and some of the small courtyards that have been completed are now cleaned.
And Wei Furong lives, as well as Wei Hao and Li Liqing, and the yards where Li Siyuan lives are still being renovated, but a lot of furniture has been put up.
"Little brother is here, little brother, this weather, I estimate that it will rain in a few days, and even snow is possible, the day is too warm these days, what can I do with these windows? If the rain goes in, it may soak the furniture and it will become mildewy! Wang Qixian came over and said to Wei Hao.
"It's okay, aren't the window shelves all installed? How many more days will it take? Wei Hao asked.
"It can be done in three days at most, mainly because there are too many, so many houses, all of them have windows like this, and the carpenter has been busy for a long time." Wang Qixian said to Wei Hao.
Wei Hao heard it, nodded, and said: "Then it's okay, it will be installed then, basically, after installing the windows, it's almost the same, when the time comes, you will have to light charcoal fires in all the rooms, now it's too humid inside, you can't live in it, and you can't move in so quickly, some small details still need to be changed!" ”
"Well, put aside the window, this mansion is really beautiful, you see, the atmosphere, and you stand high and look far away, that is, eh, you look, empty, look, how uncomfortable, and these, you see, such a big vacancy, eh, what will you do then?" Wang Qixian said to Wei Hao.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, our windows will definitely be the most beautiful in Chang'an City, it's okay, you'll know in three days!" Wei Hao said to Wang Qixian with a smile.
And on the side of the restaurant, it is almost the same now, everyone went to the edge of the restaurant, saw those houses, and were very impressed, but looked at those empty windows, like a big hole, shook their heads and sighed, a good house, actually built like this.
Wei Hao doesn't care about those, now it's finally time to be free, most of the things are done, and it's time to hibernat.
When he returned to the door of the mansion, he saw that many carriages were sent to the warehouse, Wei Hao saw that it was cotton, and now it was time to pick cotton.
"Did you start picking it?" Wei Hao looked at Jia Ding in surprise and asked.
"Back to Gongzi's words, yes, they are all picking now, what the master ordered, they are all ripe, the master said, it may rain in a few days, or even snow, so let people pick it first!" The family immediately said to Wei Hao.
"Okay, picked up!" Wei Hao nodded.
When Wei Hao got up the next day, he thought that his father was going to repair the reservoir, but he needed to go and see it.
When I arrived at the living room, I asked my mother, and my father had already gone out and went to the reservoir construction site early in the morning.
When Wei Hao heard this, he rode over with his family soldiers, and when he got there, he found that a large number of workers were working on this side of the reservoir, some wooden planks had been loaded, and the steel bars had been put down.
"Daddy!" Wei Hao rode to Wei Furong's side, and dismounted after shouting.
"You're just in time, can you see if that's okay? It's better to rain when it rains, but it's troublesome when it snows! Wei Furong said to Wei Hao, pointing to the places below that were ready to be poured.
"It's not going to snow, it's still early!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong.
"What's early, this year we have a drought here, the snow must be early, if it doesn't snow, then next year will be in trouble, so this time it is very likely to snow, if it rains!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao.
"Not so fast, right?" Wei Hao was still a little surprised and said.
According to the lunar calendar, it is only the end of August, and there will be a month before it snows.
"Look, I hope it's not so soon, at least when we pile it up!" Wei Furong nodded and said.
Then Wei Hao went down to look and found that it was still done well, and it was completely done according to the drawings.
And now, many workers have begun to mix cement and sand, ready to pour, Wei Hao stood there and watched, one morning, all poured, no way, is a lot of people, there are thousands of people here to work, pouring is finished, wait a few days, when the time comes, it is estimated that it will be faster, and it will be half a month to be able to pile up this reservoir.
Wei Hao stared here for a morning, and felt that there was no problem, so he went back.
In the afternoon, Wei Hao didn't go out much.
Three days later, Wei Hao began to install glass on those windows, and as soon as those glasses were installed, the people of the entire Chang'an City were shocked, and it was the first time they saw glass, especially in the restaurant, where a large number of people gathered outside and discussed.
"What is this, so transparent, can it keep warm?"
"I don't know, I really want to go in and have a look!"
"When this restaurant opens, I'm going to go in and have a meal anyway!" ... Many people gathered around here to discuss, especially when they saw the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, they were even more shocked, even the officials in the court were shocked, and many people also saw this situation.
"Your Majesty, something happened in Chang'an today, and many people are watching!" In the afternoon, on the side of the Ganlu Palace, Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Well, what's going on?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling a little incomprehensibly.
"Wei Hao's restaurant and mansion are all installed windows, before many people were guessing, Wei Hao's big windows, how to do it when the time comes, if not closed well, it will be cold to death in winter, but today, Wei Hao's windows, all closed, and all transparent, the outside can see the inside, very surprised.
Now many people are watching over there, and the minister originally wanted to go and see it, but he couldn't get in, Wei Hao's family guarded the door, and he didn't know what this transparent thing was. Fang Xuanling sat there and said to Li Shimin.
"Oh, there's something new again? How many new things did this kid use? When Li Shimin heard this, he knew that Wei Hao must have used something new.
"Yes, Wei Hao's talent, really, the ministers admire it!" Fang Xuanling nodded and said with emotion.
"If you have time, you want to go to Wei Hao's new mansion to have a look, this kid doesn't care about anything in order to build this mansion!" Li Shimin sat there, thought for a while and said.
There were too many rumors about Wei Hao's mansion, and he was very curious.
"The minister also wants to go and see, but he can't get in!" Fang Xuanling nodded and said.
"By the way, there is one thing, you say, which yamen should Wei Hao go to next for you?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.
"This, Your Majesty, have you convinced him?" Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
"No, I'll ask you what you mean first." Li Shimin shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, I haven't asked him, it doesn't seem to be useful to say this, right? Now that we've discussed, if he doesn't go, you still can't do anything about him? Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin with a wry smile and said, Li Shimin heard it, too.
"This rabbit cub, but it's really difficult to arrange, he doesn't want to take care of things at all, how can you say there is such a prince?" Li Shimin said with a sigh.
Fang Xuanling didn't speak, if he was as rich as Wei Hao's family, he wouldn't want to work, who wouldn't want to be lazy? Isn't there not that much money?
"By the way, is there anything else?" Li Shimin then asked.
"Oh, by the way, there is another thing, Wei Hao's house seems to have built a large reservoir, and it is still piling up, and it has not stopped raining in the past few days! The reservoir is very large, and I heard that it can manage all the fertile land of Wei Hao's family! Fang Xuanling reported to Li Shimin again.
"Oh, repaired?" After Li Shimin heard it, he asked in surprise.
"It's repaired, it's estimated that it will be repaired soon, Your Majesty, the minister is very appreciative of Wei Hao's move, our Datang water conservancy is indeed time to repair, there is a drought every year, the court has no money before, there is no way, it is estimated that there will be a lot of savings this year!" Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin.
"Is there a balance?" When Li Shimin heard it, he asked in surprise, there are a lot of things to do this year.
"Well, Your Majesty, isn't your inner money rich?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin carefully and said.
Li Shimin stared at Fang Xuanling.
"Your Majesty, the money from the treasury can also do something, if you don't repair the water conservancy, if there is another drought, it may be troublesome, in case of a big drought next year, the Wei River will be cut off, what can I do? Then the whole Northwest will be in trouble! Fang Xuanling then asked.
"You mean you want me to take out the money from my inner pocket?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and said.
"That's the best!" Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said.
"Well, it's too late this year, let's look at next year, it's about to enter winter now, these few rains, the weather is much cooler!"
Li Shimin did not directly veto, there is indeed a lot of money on the part of the internal government now, and it is okay to take out some of this money and improve water conservancy, but it is definitely not possible now.
"In addition, the Wa Kingdom sent envoys to the court, they have always admired the culture of our Datang and want to send students to our Datang to study." Fang Xuanling continued to report to Li Shimin.
"Let Honglu Temple go to receive, the Wa Kingdom, which is still an uncivilized country, learn the culture of my Tang Dynasty, well, you go and discuss!" Li Shimin heard it, nodded and said.
"Yes, in addition, both the Tibetans and the Turks have sent envoys, and the Turks have asked us to reopen the border markets and allow them to trade on the border, and they have asked us to support their food, otherwise, they will send cavalry troops to Koubian, although they did not say it explicitly, but they meant so." Fang Xuanling sat there and continued.
"Wishful thinking, hum, it's okay to open a border market, but if you want to support them with food, don't even think about it, a few years ago, how many border people killed us, at that time, I couldn't make a move, and now they still want to attack, then let's try, the army of the Tang Dynasty is ready, if you want to fight, you can fight!" When Li Shimin heard this, he was furious.
"However, there are still many people in the court who agree to support, and they think that the war should not be resumed! Last year, the pharmacist cleaned them up once, although they won, but the consumption was huge, and they almost didn't empty the treasury, and now many people remember this thing! Fang Xuanling continued to say.
"Don't even think about it, peace talks? It's impossible, I'm in a hurry, and in the spring of next year, let the army go out again, and we must cripple the Turks! Li Shimin said very angrily.
"In addition, Tuyuhun is also ready to move, and the border army needs to be prepared, since last year, the Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and many small countries around it, a large number of cattle, sheep and horses have been sold to my Datang, and I don't know what happened, but this has also increased the instability of the border!" Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin.
"Hahaha!" When Li Shimin heard Fang Xuanling say this, he touched his beard very proudly and laughed.
