Chapter 369

Hou Junji said that he was one, Li Shimin heard it, and he was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it, today he originally wanted Wei Hao to fight, and he also wanted Wei Hao to go to Xicheng to fight, so that the people in Xicheng could know what was going on, and let the people of the world discuss what was going on, but what reassured Li Shimin was that the other generals did not participate.

"Okay, see you at the West City Gate, I don't believe it anymore, I can't clean you up, let's go together, anyway, this matter is so decided, my own workshop, I have the final say, I won't give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you come and beat me!" Wei Hao stood there, looked at them with disdain and said,

When the ministers heard this, they became even more angry, and some of them began to roll up their sleeves.

"What, what, are you fighting here now? It's not that I despise you, if it weren't for my father's presence, I would be able to clean you up here! Wei Hao looked at the ministers who rolled up their sleeves and said.

"Wei Shenyong, the old man doesn't understand, you said that it will be handed over to the Ministry of People, and all the wealth of the world will be collected by the Ministry of People? But what credentials, no credentials, why do you say that? Dai Xuan stared at Wei Hao and said very angrily.

"Why don't you have credentials? Let's just say that the workshops controlled by the Ministry of Civil Affairs are lost every year? Have you checked it out? Also, if the Ministry of Civil Affairs collects that money, plus you lose so much, the money handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs will not be enough at that time, what should I do?

You will definitely find a way to collect all the workshops that belong to the people, and then all the workshops in the world belong to the Ministry of People, in fact, they all belong to you personally, because it is up to the officials of your Ministry of Civil Affairs to manage those workshops, the most realistic example is that the money controlled by the Ministry of Civil Affairs before, why did it flow into the hands of those family officials, why? Can you explain it to me? Wei Hao stood there, also staring at Dai Xuan and questioning, and Dai Xuan was speechless when asked.

"You were also a scholar before? You are dedicated to the public, but what about the officials below, can they still be dedicated to the public? It's not like getting money right under your nose!

Besides, ten years later, you may not be a scholar, but those young officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they are in a big position, and they see that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has so much money, who is not tempted? Well, when I was poor, I saw that others made 1,000 yuan, and my eyes were red! Wei Hao continued to question Dai Xuan,

Dai Xuan also didn't know what to say for a while.

"Isn't there a Supervisory Yuan now? The Supervision Yuan supervises hundreds of officials, if they are corrupt, the Supervision Yuan can take it down, this is not a reason why you don't give the Ministry of Civil Affairs! Eldest Sun Wuji stood up at this moment and said to Wei Hao.

"The Inspectorate? Ha, the Supervision Yuan is only to supervise hundreds of officials, they will also supervise the families of those officials, you go to check the iron mill now, the iron mill was handed over to the Ministry of Industry, it is to be less than one percent, why less one percent, this is iron, not sand, not grain, iron is dozens of catties a piece, where did the iron go? Wei Hao stood there and questioned Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

"What?" Li Jing and the others heard it and looked at Wei Hao in surprise.

"Father, this is the workshop controlled by the court, and the salt workshop is also one percent less, father, have you calculated it, that one percent is one percent of sales, if you strictly calculate it, it is hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, where is it, Erchen is not allowed to lose, loss is to look at things, salt loss is half percent, I can accept it, iron, father, how do you say that there is less iron? It's one percent less! Isn't this a goose plucking? Wei Hao sat there and continued to say to Li Shimin.

"And such a thing?" When Li Shimin heard it, he was also shocked, and then looked at Li Xiaogong: "Xiaogong, is this true?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know yet, this needs to be checked by the minister!" Li Xiaogong immediately stood up and said to Li Shimin,

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Give me a strict investigation!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Xiaogong nodded.

"You said you wanted me to hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Do I dare to give? If it is handed over to the people of the world, the court can still collect more than 1 million yuan in taxes every year, if it is handed over to your Ministry of Civil Affairs, it will not take three or five years, these workshops will be yellow, and you still don't pay attention to craftsmen, why should craftsmen do it for you, anyway, hmph, whatever you say, just don't give it to you! Wei Hao stood there and said to them proudly.

When the ministers heard this, they were angry. That's all that has been said, and there's nothing more to say. Some ministers are thinking, how to calculate Wei Hao, how to retaliate against Wei Hao, Wei Hao is so small, he doesn't take them in his eyes at all, and he can't beat them, so he has to find a way to find trouble with Wei Hao, it's useless to go to Wei Hao alone, he can't do Wei Hao, Wei Hao's power is not small, this needs to be found by the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen, so that he can threaten Wei Hao.

"Wei Shenyong, didn't you say that if you win the battle, those workshops will be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs? We have a lot of ministers in the military department, and the old man will bring them to meet you when the time comes! Hou Junji squinted at Wei Hao at this moment and asked.

"Yes, yes, that's what you just said! Words count! When Dai Xuan heard this, he immediately stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Okay!"

"What to do, what to mess around, the military department is also messing around!" As soon as Wei Hao said okay, Li Shimin immediately reprimanded.

"Father, it's okay, I can clean them up!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin indifferently.

"Rabbit cub, you shut up for me, Hou Jun's military department is not allowed to join in this fun!" Li Shimin said Wei Hao, but immediately stared at Hou Junji dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty. The Ministry of War also needs money, and this time it will be given to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The military department will have money when it fights! Therefore, in this matter, the Ministry of War will not participate! Hou Junji arched his hand to Li Shimin and said, Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji, Hou Junji just didn't look at Li Shimin, Li Shimin was very angry in his heart, angry with Hou Junji, thinking about how this person didn't deal with his son-in-law?

"Father, it's okay, I'm not afraid of them, really!" Wei Hao stood there and said nonchalantly.

"Shen Yong!" Li Jing shouted Wei Hao at this moment, and Wei Hao turned his head to look at Li Jing.

"They are all generals!"

"What's wrong with the general, I really haven't fought a general, I have to try it this time!" Li Jing reminded Wei Hao that Wei Hao didn't care at all, what to do or what to do.

"Okay, don't talk about the fight, ministers, didn't Wei Hao give Yicheng to the Ministry of Civil Affairs? I think Shen Yong is right, the government can't compete with the people, if it competes with the people, how can the people in the world compete for the government, then there will be a situation where the government is rich and the people are poor, such a situation is not good,

So, ladies and gentlemen, you also need to seriously consider the things written in the Shen Yong Concerto, I think there is some truth in it! Li Shimin sat there, looked at the ministers below and said.

"Your Majesty, this is empty talk, now the Ministry of Civil Affairs needs a lot of money to do things, including the construction of water conservancy, including the construction of straight roads, in addition, in the border areas, there are often wars, and, Your Majesty said that he hopes that the people of the world can study, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also planning to build a school in Luoyang and three schools in the south, but these all need money!" Dai Xuan said to Li Shimin.

"Who are you cheating, I don't seem to know how much money is needed in the school, the school needs a maximum of 50,000 yuan a year, and 4 schools are only 200,000 yuan, which is less than 10% of your income from the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Wei Hao stood there, looked at Dai Xuan with disdain and said.

"But that's also money, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has a lot of expenses, this accounts for one percent, what about other major expenses, and other invisible expenses, no money?" Dai Xuan stared at Wei Hao angrily and said.

"What are you yelling at me, and what does it have to do with me? You are the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, not me! Wei Hao rolled his eyes at Dai Zhou and said, Dai Zhou almost vomited blood.

"Well, who else has a different opinion on this matter?" Li Shimin sat there and asked, Li Shimin was a little strange in his heart, the two servants didn't say a word today, Li Jing didn't say anything, he can understand, after all, Wei Hao is his son-in-law, and his father-in-law attacked his son-in-law in the court, which is a bit unusual.

But Fang Xuanling didn't speak, which made people feel a little abnormal, not only Li Shimin found out about this, but other ministers also found out, but no one called him.

"All against?" Li Shimin looked at the ministers and continued to ask, but the ministers still didn't speak.

"Okay, this matter, let's discuss it next time, Shen Yong, you go back to your position, just right, let everyone think about it for three days!" Li Shimin waved his hand at Wei Hao and said,

The ministers below all know that Li Shimin is biased towards Wei Hao's plan, but those ministers don't do it, even if His Majesty supports it, they have to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, it's better to settle this matter this morning!" Dai Xuan stood there and arched his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is better to settle this morning!" The eldest grandson Wuji also said with his hand, and then the other ministers also said one after another, all hoping that Li Shimin could settle down as soon as possible.

Li Shimin just sat there, looking at the ministers below, thinking, did they really not understand what was written in Wei Hao's recital, or did they say that because of people, because they were dissatisfied with Wei Hao, because of the money, they would rather not read the recital and not ask about right and wrong?

"Your Majesty, this matter really needs to be thought about a little more, Wei Hao's recital, the old man sees, there are still some places that are written correctly, about the treatment of craftsmen, about the management of the workshop, about the consideration of preventing corruption, they are all very right!" At this moment, Fang Xuanling stood up and said to Li Shimin, Li Shimin and those ministers looked at Fang Xuanling in shock, they didn't expect that Fang Xuanling would actually speak for Wei Hao.

"Servant shot, you?" Dai Xuan looked at Fang Xuanling in shock.

"Dai Shangshu, you and I are both court officials, the first thing to consider is not personal interests, but the interests of the court, after all, Shen Yong put forward the possible consequences, we need to pay attention to it, besides, the reasons that Shen Yong said made the old man think of the rice paper workshop and salt workshop run by the court before, these are all things that need to be subsidized by the court.

Later, Wei Hao came up with a new salt technology and began to turn losses into profits, and now, it seems that it is going to develop in the direction of losses again, and over there in the iron mill, my son came back yesterday,

He said that there are often losses on the iron mill, and it is also a loss of one percent, my son sent someone to investigate, and he was chased and killed, Your Majesty, and you, don't tell you, I also very much hoped that Shen Yong could hand over the workshop to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but last night, after hearing what my son said, I didn't sleep all night, and began to wonder if the previous insistence was right!

Therefore, what the minister means is that it is still necessary to think about it clearly, and it is not possible to decide this matter rashly, of course, Shen Yong's method is also feasible, after all, this is Shen Yong's workshop, how to deal with it, it is indeed Shen Yong's final say! Where Fang Xuanling was standing, he said slowly, and the ministers all looked at him quietly, after speaking, those ministers, you look at me, I look at you.

"Well, I also agree with the statement of the servant, you can think about it slowly, anyway, it's not in a hurry, don't argue clearly, just argue a few more times!" Li Jing also spoke.

"Well, since the two Aiqing said so, then it's decided, I will have someone transcribe Shen Yong's recital, you take it and read it, carefully consider the things Wei Hao wrote, and three days later, we will continue to discuss this matter in the court." When Li Shimin heard them say this, he was also relieved, and some people understood.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said, while Wei Hao was sitting there, glaring at each other with Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng was glaring at Wei Hao, and Wei Hao was also glaring at Wei Zheng!

"Well, what else can be?" Li Shimin asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in four days, the scientific examination will be, and now the candidates are basically here! The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Rites are ready! The waiter stood up and arched his hand.

"Well, the matter of the imperial examination is very important, and you also need to be attentive!" When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded and said to those ministers.

"Yes!" Those ministers arched their hands and said, and then began to say other things, Wei Hao listened and listened, began to doze off, and leaned over to the vase next to him, and before he could fall asleep, he heard the sound of announcing the next dynasty, Wei Hao also stood up, and after giving up his hand with Li Shimin, he was ready to go back to make up for a good night's sleep.

"Wei Shenyong, do you dare to run?" When Wei Zheng saw that Wei Hao was about to pass through the gate of the Ganlu Palace, he pointed at Wei Hao and shouted, Wei Hao stopped when he heard it, turned around and looked at Wei Zheng helplessly and asked, "Is it really impossible to fight?" ”

"Wei Shenyong, you have to talk about it!" Dai Xuan also stared at Wei Hao, and said angrily.

"I'm still afraid of you, Simon, go, whoever doesn't go is this!" Wei Hao said and made a turtle look.

"Let's go, go back and get the book, we will meet at Chengtianmen, and then we will go to Ximen together, the old man still doesn't believe it, can you Wei Shenyong be so powerful?" Hou Junji also stared at Wei Hao and said.

"I said, Hou Junji, what are you doing to make a fuss?" Cheng Yanjin looked at Hou Junji a little dissatisfied and said.

"Eh, aren't I going to get more support for you? What should I do if the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not give money in the war? If you don't go, forget it, the old man has to clean him up, it's too arrogant! Hou Junji stood there and waved his hand and said,

And Li Jing snorted very dissatisfied, left, Li Jing and Hou Junji did not deal with each other, strictly speaking, Hou Junji was Li Jing's apprentice, he followed Li Jing to learn the art of war, but after learning, Hou Junji actually sued Li Jing for rebellion, fortunately Li Shimin didn't believe it, otherwise, it would be a big crime to punish the nine clans,

Therefore, since then, unless it is a business matter, Li Jing will never talk to Hou Junji, and after so many years, Hou Junji wanted to visit him twice before, Li Jing said bluntly, no, so the two families basically have no contact.

"Shenyong, don't go!" Li Jing shouted to Wei Hao,

Wei Hao just stood there, looking at him, and he just said, whoever doesn't go is a turtle.

"There's no need to fight, just make it clear, you can definitely say it clearly, the old man reads this book is well written, although many old men may not understand, but at the very least, you have seriously considered it, don't care about it first, just think about it!" Li Jing looked at Wei Hao and said.

"What are you afraid of, father-in-law, I can still suffer, it's not me who blows with you, as long as it's not on the battlefield, these people, I haven't put it in my eyes yet!" Wei Hao said proudly to Li Jing.

"Eh, you'll be sensible when you suffer a loss, this kid!" Cheng Yanjin looked at Wei Hao and said,

Li Jing also sighed, and walked outside, wanting to ask for a holy decree to go, and ask Wei Hao not to fight, Wei Hao didn't care, just left the palace, anyway, this time it was an order to fight, what are you afraid of?

When Wei Hao rode to the Xicheng City Gate, the guards guarding the gate thought that Wei Hao was going out of the city gate, but found that Wei Hao had dismounted, and the captain on duty at the Xicheng Gate immediately ran over.

"Xia Guogong, what are you, do you want to check?" The lieutenant came to Wei Hao, looked at Wei Hao and said.

"What do I check? It's okay, I'm going to fight here later, you don't have to worry about it! Wei Hao said to the captain.

"Ah, who is so eye-open, fighting with you? Isn't that a joke? The lieutenant looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"Well, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Imperial Court!" Wei Hao nodded and said, Du Wei heard it, and looked at Wei Hao dumbfounded, this, I fought again, I heard that I fought twice, and now I came again,

After a while, Hou Junji arrived, and there were two military generals, both of whom were His Majesty Hou Junji in the military department!

"Shall you start now?" Wei Hao stood there, staring at Hou Junji and said, Hou Junji snorted coldly, he looked down on Wei Hao in his heart, he didn't rely on the Duke of Guo, he was knighted, and he fought for life and death on the front line in exchange for a Duke of Guo, and what about Wei Hao, the title of Duke of the two Kingdoms, plus he was Li Jing's son-in-law, he was even more unhappy.

"Hmph, let's talk about it when we get together, others in the province think I'm bullying you!" Hou Junji turned over and dismounted, looked at Wei Hao and snorted coldly and said.
