Chapter 422 gives you a vacation: go to jail
Chapter 422
Wei Hao heard Li Dejian say that the eldest grandson Wuji was coming back soon, and he also laughed, the pig iron smuggling has been going on for so long, and now it is finally back, this time Hou Junji is estimated to be in trouble,
Then Wei Hao thought about it, something is wrong, when will the eldest grandson Wuji come back, Chang'an City knows, that means that this investigation of this matter does not seem to involve Hou Junji, otherwise, the eldest grandson Wuji dares to say so boldly when he will come back, there must be something wrong here,
Wei Hao thought of his master Gonggong Hong, who came to find him, and said that Hou Junji had gone to find the eldest grandson Wuji. Could it be that the eldest grandson Wuji and Hou Junji have colluded together, if so, I am afraid that this investigation will have no results, thinking of this, Wei Hao was very annoyed, smuggling pig iron, those pig iron can be used to make weapons and armor, and when the time comes, on the battlefield, it will also bring trouble to the army of the Tang Dynasty, and they actually dare to do this.
"Shen Yong, Shen Yong, what's wrong with you?" Li Dejian saw Wei Hao sitting there without speaking, and his expression was a little bad, so he immediately asked with concern.
"Ah, oh, it's okay, it's okay, I'll come back when I come back, anyway, I know that I don't deal with him, and if he wants to impeach me, I'll impeach me! I'm still afraid that he won't make it? Wei Hao immediately sobered up, smiled at Li Dejian and said, this time he also took the initiative to send him a handle, handed over 250 houses to his second brother-in-law, and let the eldest grandson Wuji go to impeach, if he doesn't impeach himself, he can't find anything else for him to impeach.
"You don't have to worry, even if the eldest grandson Wuji impeaches you, I estimate that the other ministers also know what's going on in their hearts, and they won't be impeached together, after all, you are doing this for the people of Chang'an City!" Li Dejian looked at Wei Hao and said.
"Yes, you don't have to worry, I'm afraid of what he will do, I also found out this person, it's a villain! No wonder my dad and he just can't play together! Cheng Chuhei also persuaded Wei Hao.
"Haha, I'm not worried, okay, tell me what you think, how many houses do you want to build? Otherwise, 50 buildings are good, and there are more than 2,000 yuan of profits, and the three of you can also get seven or eight hundred yuan of money, which is not bad!
Mainly, in the winter, it is necessary to hand over the house, you have so many workers to do this, and can you finish it, once it can't be completed, I will take it back! You'll have to pay a fine! Wei Hao looked at Cheng Chuhei and they spoke.
"Okay, 50 buildings will do, and we're worried about getting it bad, 50 buildings are the best!" When Cheng heard this, he looked at Wei Hao very happily and said.
"That's okay, anyway, the brick mill is estimated to be able to get a lot of money, plus this, the three of you have a lot of money in the account this year!" Wei Hao looked at the three of them with a smile and said, the three of them also laughed proudly,
Soon, they went back, and Wei Hao was sitting there thinking about the eldest grandson Wuji's investigation of the case, it seems that this time it is destined to be fruitless, if there is really no result, he is going to make trouble, he can't let those pig iron flow out like this, such a result, he didn't agree, but he didn't expect that this time the eldest grandson Wuji came to himself!
Three days later, Wei Hao issued a bid in Chang'an Mansion, forty or fifty large and small contractors, Wei Hao had to ask them how many workers to work, whether they could guarantee that they could be delivered before the winter, if they could be guaranteed, Wei Hao would give them a bid according to how many workers they had in hand, among which Wang Qixian was the most undertaker, and then Cheng Chuhei they built 50 buildings in the city, and most of the other contractors were about ten.
After the bid was issued, in the afternoon of the same day, many workers began to enter the site and began to dig the foundation.
Among them, Wang Qixian's action is the largest, a large number of reinforced concrete, sand and gravel are also followed into the field, and a large number of planks and scaffolding are also beginning to enter the site, many have not been built, are running over to ask, learn from experience, and then do it themselves, Wei Hao also invited 10 people from the Ministry of Industry, specifically staring at the construction site, if you dare to use less reinforced cement, it is absolutely not possible, how much reinforced cement needs to be used in each building, there is a fixed number,
Then many people found that the construction site also needed to do coolies, so they went to Xicheng to find work, and there were five cents a day to work, which was very good.
Next, Wei Hao didn't have anything to do, just to inspect those construction sites.
On this day, the eldest grandson Wuji came back from the northeast border, and the court sent the officials to greet him, and after arriving in Chang'an City, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately went to the palace to report to Li Shimin, reporting two things, the first is the situation of the border soldiers, and the other is the situation of checking the pig iron.
Report the first aspect of the matter, Li Jing and Fang Xuanling, and Hou Junji are all there, and after the eldest grandson Wuji finished reporting, Li Shimin let those ministers go out, and in the room, the eldest grandson Wuji was left alone.
"Did you find out?" Li Shimin sat there, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.
"I found it out, there is a lot of involvement here, there are people from the family, and there are also some officials of the dynasty, among them, the biggest suspect is Wei Hao's father Wei Furong, all the testimony is here!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately took out a huge burden and handed it to Li Shimin, which were the so-called testimonies he found out.
"Who?" At this moment, Li Shimin's eyes widened, staring at the eldest grandson Wuji, the shock in his heart, although Gonggong Hong had reported to him at the beginning, but now after hearing the name Wei Furong come out from the innermost part of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin was still shocked, shocked that the eldest grandson Wuji dared to be so unscrupulous, and dared to frame people like this.
"Wei Furong, because Wei Hao has merit in the iron workshop, and Wei Furong has also contacted some Hu businessmen, so Wei Furong began to operate this matter, and it has been found out that about 800,000 catties are flowing out of Wei Furong's hands, and he has made a profit of more than 30,000 yuan!
There are also those families, they are all doing this, because they are dissatisfied with the benefits that the family is losing now, so they began to do this, about 700,000 catties of pig iron flowed out, and the profit was 30,000 yuan! The eldest grandson Wuji continued to report, Li Shimin just sat there and didn't speak, his mouth was tightly closed, the eldest grandson Wuji was very familiar with Li Shimin, and knew that Li Shimin was angry, this was what he wanted.
"All the evidence?" Li Shimin had a gloomy face, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.
"It's all there, this is testimony, however, some people are worried that after being caught, it will also be a capital crime, and they are also worried that their families will be implicated, so those people committed suicide in the cell, and the minister also sent someone to drive them, but for those who want to seek death, we can't stand it, smuggling materials prohibited by the court is a capital crime, so..."
This is the only place that makes him feel uneasy, and it is also a suspicious place, he is afraid that Li Shimin will suspect that he deliberately destroyed the evidence, but he can explain it like this, and he can also say the past.
"Hmph, it's good that it's useful to seek death, this matter, tomorrow you will talk in the court, in addition, in addition to Wei Hao, are there other ministers involved?" Li Shimin stared at the eldest grandson Wuji and continued to ask.
"Haven't found it yet! It's just some petty officials of the family! Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and said.
"Are you sure?" Li Shimin stared at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.
'This, anyway, hasn't been found out, if there is, it is estimated that it is also very hidden! Eldest Sun Wuji hesitated, looked at Li Shimin and replied.
"Impossible, if there is no general participation, how would those materials get out of those checkpoints?" Li Shimin stared at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.
"This, the minister also asked clearly, those checkpoints are all small checkpoints, and the garrisons are all within some captains, it's easy to buy, so!" Eldest Sun Wuji explained.
"Oh, that's it!" Li Shimin heard it and nodded.
"All the evidence here?" Li Shimin pointed to the pile of evidence and said.
"Yes, all here, there are signed testimonies!" Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said.
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, you go and rest, I want to see these things investigated! It's been hard all the way, and it's not easy to run from the northwest to the northeast! Li Shimin said to the eldest grandson Wuji with a pleasant face.
"Yes, it's not hard!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately arched his hand and said.
"Go back, the reward will come down in two days!" Li Shimin still smiled and said to the eldest grandson Wuji,
The eldest grandson Wuji withdrew with his hand, and as soon as he retreated, he heard Li Shimin throwing things in the study, and also heard Li Shimin's violent drinking, saying that Wei Hao came over,
Immediately, Wang De ran out and arranged a eunuch to call Wei Hao over,
When the eldest grandson Wuji saw this scene, he was happy in his heart, this time Wei Hao didn't die, and he had to take off a layer of skin.
And Li Shimin, who was inside, didn't pick up those things at all, just sat there drinking tea, and Cheng Chuhei, who was on duty, was also very worried, he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji actually said that Wei Furong was smuggling pig iron, which was absolutely impossible, he wanted to send someone to inform Wei Hao, but before he could act, Li Shimin angrily shouted Wang De to call Wei Hao over,
At this moment, Cheng Chuhei was very worried and wanted to come out to say a few words for Wei Hao, but he didn't dare, he was on duty now, so he couldn't say it, and the other two captains and lieutenants were also puzzled, Wei Hao was so rich, would he do this?
Wei Hao was watching from the construction site, but a eunuch ran over and said a few words to Wei Hao's side.
"Father's anger, why?" Wei Hao heard what the eunuch said, was stunned for a moment, and asked.
"I don't know, the prince asked me to tell you, you must endure your temper and don't talk back to Your Majesty!" The father-in-law said to Wei Hao,
Wei Hao nodded, arched his hand at him, and began to ride to the palace, and dismounted at the gate of the palace, knowing what was going on in his heart, knowing that it must be related to the eldest grandson Wuji, did he really dare to frame himself? How bold is that?
Soon, Wei Hao arrived at the gate of the Ganlu Palace, and Wang De saw him coming, so he stood at the door and waited.
"Princess, I'm sorry for you to report it!" Wei Hao said to Wang De.
"Xia Guogong, but you must remember, don't talk back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very angry, and two cups have been broken!" The prince said to Wei Hao very quietly.
"Yes, thank you!" Wei Hao immediately bowed his hand and whispered, Wang De only went in to report at this moment.
"Get in!" Li Shimin's angry voice came from inside, and then another sentence came: "Everyone go out, no one is allowed to come in without my order!" ”
"Yes!" Those people hiding in the shadows all stood up and walked outside, Li Shimin was sitting there, and after a while, Wei Hao came in and closed the door.
"You bunny, so daring!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and scolded.
"What, what?" Wei Hao was not stunned, and immediately said back, he didn't do anything!
"You rabbit cub, how long have you not come to the palace to lie down?" Li Shimin continued to scold Wei Hao.
"Do I dare, when did I come to see you, and you didn't cheat me once?" Wei Hao continued to stand there and speak.
"This time you're giving you a holiday! Luckily? Li Shimin immediately looked at Wei Hao with a smile and asked, and immediately confused Wei Hao, he was still angry just now, and now he is still smiling at himself.
"Father, are you alright? If it doesn't work, let's call the doctors to take a look! Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin cautiously and asked.
"Bunny, what are you talking about, didn't you say you've been busy lately? In this way, can I go to the prison of the criminal department for a few days? Li Shimin glared at Wei Hao and asked.
"Okay, a few days is not enough, is a month?" Wei Hao immediately became interested, looked at Li Shimin and asked. Li Shimin immediately had a black line on his face, that is, Wei Hao, he was still addicted to prison, and wanted to sit for a few more days: "Don't even think about it, don't you manage the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion and Wannian County?" ”
"It's okay, it's almost over, if there's any problem then, just let them come to me in the prison of the Criminal Department!" Wei Hao said indifferently.
"Then let's stay for five days, can five days be okay?" Li Shimin glanced at Wei Hao and asked.
"It's only been five days? What kind of leave is this, don't go, five days, I'm too lazy to pick up things, or half a month, I won't go! Wei Hao was not happy for five days when he heard it.
"10 days, don't say anything, just 10 days, there are so many things in Jingzhao Mansion, if you live for a long time, the impact is not good, and remember, remember to say hello to your father in advance!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.
"Yes, rest assured!" Wei Hao said very happily, ten days is ten days, it has been a long time since I rested, and it is good to have 10 days of rest.
"Do you know why you were sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao, and after Wei Hao heard it, he shook his head indifferently, and then said: "Is it because my father saw the hard work of his son, so he deliberately gave his son a holiday?" Father, you are merciful! ”
"You bunny, I!" When Li Shimin heard it, he angrily pointed at Wei Hao and scolded.
"Isn't it? Because of what? Wei Hao didn't care at all, looked at Li Shimin and asked.
"This time, the eldest grandson Wuji came back from the investigation, and the results were also given to me, well, forget it, I still won't tell you now, come to the court tomorrow morning, and you will know when the time comes!" Li Shimin originally wanted to tell Wei Hao now, but after thinking about it, in this case, Wei Hao might really go back and blow up the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji, and frame Wei Hao like this, Wei Hao can't bear it.
"No, father, what are you doing? Don't bring such an appetizing thing! Wei Hao was not happy when he heard this, and stared at Li Shimin and asked unhappily.
"Just remember to come over tomorrow, tell your father in advance, your father in the province is worried, come, come and drink tea with your father, you are doing well in Jingzhao Mansion, know to do something practical for the people!" Very good! Come, tell your father what you think of Jingzhao Mansion! Li Shimin smiled at Wei Hao and asked,
Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin suspiciously, feeling that Li Shimin was not wrong with his brain now, he would be angry for a while, and laugh for a while, but fortunately he didn't bird him much, otherwise, he wouldn't be scared to death?
"Come and sit down and have tea!" Li Shimin saw Wei Hao standing there without moving, so he urged Wei Hao to say.
"Okay, but, father, are you sure you want to trap me again?" Wei Hao stared at Li Shimin and asked, Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao, Wei Hao looked at the door behind him, and just closed it by himself.
"You still dare to run?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.
"No, father, drink tea, drink tea!" Wei Hao immediately walked over with a smile and sat down.
"Shen Yong, tell me about the situation in Jingzhao Mansion!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.
"This, it's better to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince report to you, I'm a young Yin!" Wei Hao didn't want to report, Li Chengqian should have reported.
"What does he know? It's not you who govern it yet, hurry up and talk about it, be careful that your father cleans you up! Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and warned.
"Okay, say!" Wei Hao immediately nodded and said, and then began to report, telling Li Shimin in detail about his thoughts on the governance of Chang'an City.
"Well, it's really good, if you can really do it all, then Chang'an City will be prosperous, not bad, not bad, now it is indeed the place where the people live is tense, and Chang'an City is so big, the people would rather live in the city than outside, that is understandable, after all, there are walls in the city to guard,
In addition, it is also very good that you have to reserve enough food for the people of Chang'an City to eat for a year in Chang'an City, but there are not so many food reserves, and the problem of food now is the problem that I am most worried about, the problem I am most worried about! When Li Shimin heard this, he stood up with his hands behind his back, and talked as he walked, which became the thing he was most worried about.
"There is a way, Erchen is busy now, and when Erchen is done, he will start to solve this problem!" Wei Hao immediately said to Li Shimin.
"Oh, can you fix it?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.
"Yes, it will take three or five years! If it's long, it could take ten years! Wei Hao thought about it for a while, and said conservatively to Li Shimin.
