Chapter 398: Empress Changsun intercedes
Chapter 398
Kong Ying first came to report the results of the imperial examination of the college, Wei Hao was very satisfied after learning the result, so many students passed the imperial examination, that is the honor of the college, the key is that the people who go to the academy to study are all children of the poor family, there are no children of the family, there are so many children of the poor family to pass, it was originally to meet Li Shimin's expectations, in the court, there is also a large number of officials of the poor family, in this way, Li Shimin will arrange officials in the future, there will be more choices.
Kong Ying sat on Wei Hao's mansion for a while, and then left, while Wei Hao returned to his study and began to write a chapter, and make a report on the affairs of the college, after all, after spending so much money, he always needs a result to the above, and this result is good to be able to make a move.
After writing, Wei Hao asked people to send it to the middle book, and when the time came, the chapter will be sent to Li Shimin's desk, Wei Hao finished writing, and came out and asked the family members, where did his father go?
"Childe, master, the housekeeper and those stewards in the house, all went to Zhuangzi's side, and spring sowing is about to begin, sir, they definitely need to go and see!" The family said to Wei Hao,
Wei Hao heard it, nodded, didn't ask anymore, but rested in his mansion, and then went out and went to the county government, he also needed to go to the county government to sit in the town, after all, he was the county order,
In the evening, Wei Hao returned to the mansion and found Wei Furong there to settle accounts.
"Dad, have you arranged all the things for spring ploughing, do you need me to go?" Wei Hao walked over and asked.
"It's arranged, that is, some farmers have no seeds, the seeds are eaten, and they need to borrow seeds from the house, this is the statistics of the person in charge of each Zhuangzi, and the old man calculated, more than 10,000 catties of seeds are needed! Someone will be sent tomorrow. Wei Furong sat there and spoke.
"Dad, why don't they even keep seeds?" Wei Hao heard it and looked at Wei Furong in shock.
"The family has a large population, no way, or starve to death, in the past few years, those children are like hatching chickens, and if they don't go for a few months, they will find that there are many children who have come out, and when the child grows up, he can eat more!" Wei Furong sat there, put away the paper, and said to Wei Hao.
"It's also a good thing, isn't it, in the past few years, there has been no war, and there have been more children!" Wei Hao smiled and said.
"A good thing is a good thing, but there is not so much farmland, how to feed those children, these days, the old man sent a lot of hoes, ploughed to various villages, and now they are all clearing the wasteland, not opening up the wasteland, it is difficult,
Now you need four acres of land to feed a person, a family of eight, you need more than 30 acres of land, if you count the rent, then you need 40 acres, a family of eight, there are two older children OK, no children, it is difficult to plant 40 acres, 30 acres,
So, the old man is also worried, thinking about reducing some rents, but he can't do this, otherwise, those landed people in Chang'an City will scold us to death, don't reduce it, watching those people suffer, the old man can't stand it, and the family is not short of money for those rents, it doesn't hurt to be less than one percent, but that's not how things are done! Wei Furong sat there and said with a sigh.
"The grain output is still too low, so it can't be done, and it's not a matter to continue to open up the wasteland!" Wei Hao also touched his head and said,
"What's the solution? You can't starve to death, how many years of production is like this! It is still necessary to open up the wasteland, and we must work hard, and the cow dung of our Zhuangzi can only be applied to our own Zhuangzi, and those wastelands, the people have no fertilizer at all, so the yield of those wastelands is very low, and it is good to have 50 catties of one acre of land, and the seeds are five or six catties, eh! Wei Furong sat there, touched his beard, and said with a sigh.
"Look, if there is a large-scale drought, especially in five or six years, something big will happen, and it is estimated that there will be chaos!" Wei Furong continued to say to Wei Hao.
"Can't you?" Wei Hao heard it, looked at Wei Furong in surprise and said.
"Why not, when those children grow up a little, they need more food, and when a large-scale drought comes, something must need to happen!" Wei Furong stared at Wei Hao and said,
Wei Hao heard it and nodded, it seems that this food problem needs to be solved, if it is not solved, it will really be troublesome. Thinking of this, Wei Hao thought that he still had to experiment with some farmland himself, otherwise, there would be no way to cultivate high-yield fertile land.
In addition, fertilizer is also a problem, the grain yield in later generations is high, one is planting, the other is pesticides and fertilizers, if there is no guarantee of these two, it is difficult to have high yield.
"What do you think?" Wei Furong saw Wei Hao sitting there thinking about things, and immediately asked.
"Ah, oh, I didn't think about anything, Dad, since the things at home have been arranged, I won't go to watch it, there are still many things to do here in Wannian County, and now I am also preparing for spring sowing." Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong and asked.
"Well, I'm busy with you, family affairs, now I can help if I can!" Wei Furong nodded, knowing that now that Wei Hao was the county magistrate of Wannian County, he had a lot to do.
Now the people here in Dongcheng are all thanking Wei Furong when they see it, and Wei Furong also heard the people say good things about Wei Hao, saying that this county order is to do things for the people, therefore, Wei Furong is also very proud, his son still has the ability.
The next day, after Wei Hao got up, he continued to practice martial arts, and after breakfast, Wei Hao continued to inspect, and those things in the county government were handed over to Du Yuan to deal with, especially when it came to the case, Wei Hao let Du Yuan deal with it, and he just went to open a hall and try it, but fortunately, no very complicated cases have been found.
When it was close to noon, a eunuch rode over to find Wei Hao, saying that he wanted Wei Hao to go to the Lizheng Palace for dinner. Wei Hao remembered that he needed to go to the Lizheng Palace for dinner, so he took people to the palace, and when he arrived at the Lizheng Palace, he found that Li Shimin was also there, and Li Lizhen was also there.
"Erchen has seen his father!" Wei Hao went over and saluted Li Shimin and said.
"Well, went to the construction site?" Li Shimin saw that there was still mud on Wei Hao's boots, so he asked.
"Yes, isn't this to prepare for spring sowing? Erchen also needs to understand what the people are still missing, in addition, there are many things on the construction site now, and Erchen will try his best to do a good job on the construction site without delaying spring sowing! Wei Hao nodded with a smile and said.
"Come and sit down and have tea!" Li Shimin nodded and beckoned Wei Hao to come over and sit down.
"Shen Yong, come, eat preserved fruits!" Empress Eldest Sun came over with a smile and food.
"Thank you, the queen mother, let the queen mother worry about it!" Wei Hao stood up and said to Empress Eldest Sun.
"Thank you, you kid, too, I don't know how to go to the Lizheng Palace to say, you yourself know that the internal government has received 1 million yuan, and you are still missing the 60,000 yuan, next time you are not allowed to do this, you are short of money, after looking for your mother, the queen mother will find a way for you!" Empress Eldest Sun immediately explained to Wei Hao and said.
"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother!" Wei Hao continued to thank him.
"Sit down, drink tea and chat with your father, now you are also busy, it is rare to come once or twice a month, in the future, you have to come often!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Wei Hao.
"Yes, Queen Mother, I'll come over when I'm free!" Wei Hao said to Empress Eldest Sun with a smile, and sat down at the same time.
"There are a lot of things to do in Wannian County this year, but you have done a good job, and from the current point of view, you have done a very good job!" Li Shimin praised Wei Hao and said.
"Hey, hey!" When Wei Hao heard it, he immediately laughed proudly,
Li Lizhi next to him heard it, and said to Li Shimin with a smile: "Do you know how busy he is now?" It's hard to find him for a meal now, but, father, my daughter is going to ask you for leave in advance, the day after tomorrow, I, Siyuan, and Shen Yong will go out of the city together, okay? ”
"Well, yes, of course!" When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately nodded and said.
"Also, father, Shen Yong this time, he was obviously cheated by someone, and someone else tricked him!" Li Lizhi continued to say to Li Shimin.
"Liqin, okay, it's all over, it's all done." Wei Hao immediately reminded Li Lizhen and said that there are some things that cannot be known to Empress Eldest Sun, although she may already know, but she cannot say it publicly.
"To say, Shen Yong took this money, not for corruption, but for the construction of Wannian County, and this money was originally part of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs was able to share these money, which was originally given by Shen Yong, why did those ministers impeach Shen Yong, isn't it to see Shen Yong's honesty and Shen Yong's youth?
It's a shame that they still claim to be old ministers, those old ministers, they don't know how to promote young people, they don't know how to remind young people, and they deliberately wait for Shen Yong to make a mistake, and then impeach Shen Yong, isn't it that Shen Yong has two dukes? But the duke of this country is also Shen Yong's own merit, those people think that Shen Yong has two dukes of the country, and no one thinks about what credit Shen Yong has made! Li Lizhen continued to sit there, complaining.
"Well, the girl is right, but this kind of thing is not something you can meddle in!" Li Shimin said to Li Liqing.
"I didn't interfere, I just wasn't convinced, why did I bully Shen Yong so much?" Li Lizhi sat there and pouted.
"Well, Shen Yong was indeed wronged this time, but there was also a mistake first, so you should pay attention next time." Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.
"Yes, I remember, if I don't have money, I'll ask my father and mother for it!" Wei Hao immediately nodded and said, Li Lizhen said this, Li Shimin was not angry, so what else could he say? It shows that Li Shimin knows it in his heart, but he just said that he can't do anything with those ministers who impeached him now.
"Girl, here, you are not allowed to talk about the affairs of the court, talk about other things." Empress Eldest Sun also said to Li Liqing.
"I know, I'm just not convinced, so many people bully Shen Yong." Li Lizhi immediately hugged the arm of Empress Changsun and continued to complain.
"Who dares to really bully Shen Yong, what are you afraid of? Your father won't protect him, and the queen mother won't protect him, but after all, things need an explanation, this time Shen Yong made a mistake and was caught, so there is no way, simply deal with it, even if it is an explanation to those ministers, your father doesn't really want to punish Shen Yong. Empress Changsun said to Li Liqing, Li Lizhi nodded,
After a while, the food came up, and Wei Hao and they also went over to eat.
After eating, Li Shimin went back first, Wei Hao also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Empress Changsun.
"Shen Yong, come, drink tea! Go clubbing! Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao, as soon as Wei Hao heard it, he immediately went over to make tea, and Empress Changsun also went to the tea set with Li Liqing!
"For the sake of the queen mother's face, don't worry about your uncle, the queen mother knows, he doesn't know how many times he has targeted you, what about you, I have always looked at the face of the queen mother, I didn't care about him, this, the queen mother thank you, wait a minute, the queen mother will summon your uncle into the palace for a trip, the palace wants to talk about him, you have let him so many times, he has not reflected, and wants to bring you down, this, the queen mother will definitely not agree!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Wei Hao.
"Thank you Queen Mother, it's okay, I haven't bothered with him, but when I came out of the Queen Mother's study yesterday morning, I said a few angry words to him, and I don't know how to offend him, he is my uncle, it stands to reason that he should help me, why do you always fall into the well for me?" Wei Hao pretended to be confused and said to the eldest grandson queen.
"Eh, it's because of you and Lizhen's matter, the queen mother doesn't know, why he hasn't let go until now, there is such a situation, the queen mother will definitely not agree to Lizhi and Changsun Chong's matter, but he is angry with you about this, it seems stingy, Shen Yong, you just look at the face of the queen mother, forget it, the queen mother will definitely talk about him!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Wei Hao.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, how could Erchen care about these things, he is an elder!" Wei Hao immediately said with a smile.
"But the queen mother, my uncle has embarrassed Shen Yong more than once, you have to talk about him, Shen Yong is so good to him, and he is also very good to his cousin, and his cousin is still good friends with him, but I don't know what my uncle thinks!" Li Lizhi sat next to her and said to Empress Eldest Sun.
"Eh, your uncle is a person who also has the ability, but ah, the heart is still a little smaller, and there is no way to compare with Shen Yong, the queen mother will definitely say your uncle!" Empress Eldest Sun sighed and said, in fact, she knew everything before, but she wouldn't say that Eldest Sun Wuji, after all, it was her brother,
And the matter of beauty, it is indeed not achieved his wish, the eldest grandson queen feels a little indebted to this eldest brother, but repeatedly bullying his son-in-law, that is another matter, although the brother is pro, but the son-in-law is also half a son,
Besides, this half, it helped himself, helped the royal family, helped His Majesty a lot, and they had a long face, bullying their son-in-law, that is, they didn't put themselves in their eyes, they couldn't bear it, if they continued to endure it, their son-in-law should have an opinion about themselves,
And now the prince is so good now, and it has a lot to do with Wei Hao, so he hopes that Wei Hao can always assist the prince, although the eldest grandson Wuji is also very important, but the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin are about the same age, and it is estimated that it will not be able to assist for many years, or Shen Yong can accompany the prince to go further.
"It's okay, queen mother, don't be embarrassed, uncle, if you are angry, you will send it to me, he has to make it clear to me, I was wrong, I will definitely apologize, but Lizhi This matter, the son is not aimed at him, but for thousands of people in the world, close relatives are married, there is indeed a problem, of course, my uncle is so to me, you say this, I also understand, I will bear with it first, let my uncle vent and vent!" Wei Hao immediately persuaded Empress Eldest Sun to speak.
"That's not possible, this matter is almost over, and I can't continue to worry about it!" Empress Eldest Sun immediately waved her hand and said.
"That's it, so many times!" Li Lizhi also echoed beside her and said, she was also very dissatisfied with the eldest grandson Wuji's bullying of Wei Hao, bullying Wei Hao was bullying herself, and her husband was impeached by him like this, and she couldn't bear it. Then Wei Hao sat in the Lizheng Hall for a while, and then prepared to go back and came out with Li Lizhen.
"You, don't say those words in front of the queen mother, make the queen mother embarrassed, the queen mother knows, you let the queen mother choose, how difficult it is, anyway, my uncle and I must have something to do in the future, and we have to fight, then fight, each with their own ability, you say it in front of the queen mother like this, it's not good!" Wei Hao said to Li Liqing, who was holding his hand.
"I know, I can't help it? He thinks we're stupid, and he bullies us like this, really, don't force me, force me, do you see me clean him up? Li Lizhi sat there and said very arrogantly.
"How do you clean him up? You, this is a matter between us men, don't interfere! Wei Hao smiled and scratched her nose and said.
"Hmph, I have a way!" Li Lizhi smiled and dodged, and then said proudly.
"Okay, you have a way, but, we haven't chatted together for a long time, really, I said I'm not an official, everyone says I'm not, now I know that I can't be an official, right?" Wei Hao said with a smile and pinched Li Li's face.
"Well, I really can't be it, after being the county order, we won't be officials, and it's not that we don't have money, what are you afraid of? We'll play everywhere when the time comes! Li Lizhi said with deep feelings.
"Well, I'll go back first, you go back to the palace to rest, I still have to go to the eastern suburbs to watch!" When he arrived at the gate of the inner palace, Wei Hao said to Li Lizhen, Li Lizhen nodded, let go of Wei Hao's hand, and let Wei Hao leave the palace.
And at this moment, on the side of the East Palace, Li Chengqian was also receiving the eldest grandson Wuji in the study, and the eldest grandson Wuji said that he had something to look for him, so Li Chengqian took him to his study.
