Chapter 303

Wei Hao heard what Wei Cong said, and immediately asked Wei Cong what was going on.

Wei Cong heard it and said with a wry smile: "Now, among the court, the family has been promoted very little, and everyone is fighting very hard, and now the court is also focusing on promoting those officials who serve in the local government, and it is basically difficult to promote those family members in the court now, starting from this summer." His Majesty issued an edict to the Ministry of Officials, and officials who have not served in the local area need to go to the local area! ”

"Well, you haven't served in the local government?" Wei Hao heard it, looked at Wei Cong and asked.

"I've been working here in Chang'an for a few months, and now Chang'an County is Wei Yu, and now he is doing a good job, all of which you told me at the beginning, building roads, and now there are many officials who say that he did a good job, but these are all my original plans!" Wei Cong said extremely unbalanced in his heart.

"Oh, why did you go up in the first place?" When Wei Hao heard this, he looked at Wei Cong and continued to ask.

"I didn't think about it at the beginning, serving as the magistrate of Chang'an County, it is easiest to offend people, and you have to be careful everywhere, but I didn't expect it... Huh! Wei Cong looked at Wei Hao and sighed again.

"I didn't expect that now the power is getting bigger and bigger, no one dares to offend at all, now Wei Yu is doing a very good job here, no one dares to stumble on him, this time, Wei Yu was approved from the court 20,000 yuan, continue to improve the roads around Chang'an, this is another big credit!" Wei Cong looked at Wei Hao and said.

Wei Cong heard it, nodded, and didn't speak.

At this time, the porter came again.

"Childe, the Chang'an County Order is here, he has come many times, every time you are not in the house, and today I came again." The porter came over and said to Wei Hao.

"Well, let him in, just right!" Wei Hao smiled and said to the porter.

Then he looked at Wei Cong and said, "What do you think?" ”

"I... I want to go to a place, like Luoyang! Wei Cong looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Go to Luoyang to serve as a county magistrate? You are now in a downgrade, how is it possible? When Wei Hao heard this, he looked at Wei Cong in surprise and asked.

"But there's no way, here in Chang'an, maybe you won't be able to get four grades in ten years!" Wei Cong looked at Wei Hao and said very uncomfortably.

"Chang'an, Wannian, Luoyang, Taiyuan, Henan, Jinyang, Fengxian County are all first-class counties, among which the chief arrangement is the first, Wannian ranks second, and Luoyang ranks third, you want to serve as the commander of Luoyang County, is it possible? Not to mention His Majesty's side, Your Majesty, then I can handle it, and the family side can agree? What you can see, the family can't see, now those county orders are all positions that the family must fight for, if you want to serve as the county commander of Luoyang County, it's impossible! Wei Hao looked at Wei Cong and said.

"Huh!" Wei Cong also sighed when he heard Wei Hao say this.

"If you miss the opportunity, you will miss it, if you have the opportunity, I will transfer you to the Ministry of Industry, in the next ten years, the Ministry of Industry will do a lot of things!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Cong and said.

When Wei Cong heard this, he immediately looked up at Wei Hao in surprise and said, "It's okay." However, the Ministry of Industry is even more difficult to enter, but the officials of the Ministry of Industry need to be selected by the Ministry of Industry, and the left and right servants can be recommended, and Your Majesty can only give permission! ”

"The Ministry of Industry Shangshu has a good relationship with me, and I don't need to talk about the left and right servants, and I don't need it on His Majesty's side, but you move so frequently, are you sure that the patriarch won't scold you to death? Because of you, how many family resources have been used, not now, at least two years later, now you will always do your work! Wei Hao looked at Wei Cong and said.

Wei Cong used too many family resources, the last time he served as the magistrate of Chang'an County, Wei Yuanzhao went to Wei Guifei, and this was done, of course, he didn't come to intercede with himself, just let himself not stop him.

"Yes, then I'll wait, hey!" Wei Cong said with a sigh at this moment.

Then Wei Yu went to Wei Hao's living room, and after arriving in the living room, Wei Yu saluted Wei Hao very solemnly, this is still a nephew.

"I've seen Uncle Clan, and I've always wanted to come and visit, but since I took office, Uncle Clan, you've been busy, and I've come here a few times, but I haven't been able to see you! Lucky today! Wei Yu said with a smile at Wei Hao.

"Come and sit down, you've just been transferred back from out of town?" Wei Hao said to Wei Yu with a smile.

"Yes, I was transferred back from Dongping County, and it's been several months!" Wei Yu said to Wei Hao with a smile, walked over at the same time, and then said to Wei Cong: "I've seen Uncle Clan!" ”

"Well, good job!" Wei Cong said with a smile, he was very appreciative in his heart, if he worked in Chang'an County, perhaps, he would be promoted to the fourth grade faster.

"Come, tea!" Wei Hao said to Wei Yu with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Clan!" Wei Yu said immediately.

"The road repair is good, it is much easier to walk than last year, this is your credit, but it is also the credit of your uncle, if he doesn't go, you have no chance!" Wei Hao said to the two of them with a smile.

"Yes, I have to thank Uncle Clan!" Wei Yu said with a smile, very restrained.

I have never seen Wei Hao before, he has always been an official in the field, after arriving here, he has also heard a lot of Wei Hao's deeds, knowing Wei Hao's ability, and now he can be said to be the first person in the Tang Dynasty, and the dukes of the two countries are in his body.

"Well, don't be restrained, just do it well, I guess no one is bullying you now, it's okay to walk around with the children in the family and exchange some news!" Wei Hao said to Wei Yu.

"Yes, yes, I have visited everyone's home, and the first one was to visit you, but you were not at home, so I went to other homes, including Uncle Wei Ting, I have been there!" Wei Yu said to Wei Hao.

"Well, okay, that's good, what's the difficulty?" Wei Hao asked.

"Yes, there is a difficulty, this is not, Your Majesty specially rewarded 20,000 yuan in order to reward our Chang'an County for its merits in building roads, but this money, you don't need so much to repair roads, the main roads have been repaired, and other roads, as long as you repair them, so, this money, I don't know how to spend it for a while, I used to find a way to intercept the money of the court, but now I have money, but I don't know how to spend it!" Wei Yu said with a wry smile at Wei Hao.

"Repair the reservoir, isn't this year's drought enough to warn you? If there are enough reservoirs, why should the people spend so much manpower and material resources to get water from the river? Find the Ministry of Industry, let the officials of the Ministry of Industry explore, select the location of the reservoir, repair the reservoir, and start construction soon, I will build a reservoir! Wei Hao said to Wei Yu.

"Reservoir? Well, it's a good way, eh, Uncle clan, this method is good, this method is good, Your Majesty attaches the most importance to agriculture, if the farmland in Chang'an County needs to be irrigated by reservoirs, then there will be no need to worry about drought in the future! Wei Yu said very excitedly at the moment.

Wei Hao nodded and said: "That's right, try your best to achieve this goal, I estimate that when the time comes, if you let those people work, they will also go, this year's drought is also a warning for the people of Chang'an, but it needs to be done well!" ”

Wei Yu hurriedly stood up and said to Wei Hao: "Thank you Uncle Clan for your order, I will go back to the Ministry of Industry to see how many locations to explore, and repair the reservoir and channels!" ”

"Well, sit down and talk!" Wei Hao nodded, pressed his hand and said.

And at this time, Wei Cong is very envious, it was originally all his own work, and he would be able to leave his name in history, but now it's okay, the opportunity is gone, such an opportunity may not be able to meet once in a lifetime, it can be said that if Wei Yu does this thing, within three years, this grade from the fourth grade will definitely not be able to run.

Wei Cong sat there, feeling very bitter in his heart, what Wei Hao and Wei Yu said, he didn't listen to many of them, and after they worked on Wei Hao's side for half an hour, they took their leave.

Wei Hao was thinking, Wei Cong likes to speculate, this time the loss is big, the court still hopes to be able to do the facts, now if Wei Cong does not work in his current position for more than two years, if he wants to be transferred, it is completely impossible, even His Majesty will not allow it.

For the next few days, Wei Hao was busy with the affairs of his house.

On the side of the cement workshop, a large amount of cement is piled up in the warehouse, that is, Wei Hao has bought a lot, but no one else has bought it, and they don't know what to do now.

Soon, they arrived at Wei Hao's new mansion and found Wei Hao.

"Why are you here?" Wei Hao came down from the top of the fourth floor, and now the fifth layer of pillars is being poured, and there is only this layer left, and it will be capped immediately.

"No, you... Why are you building so high? Li Dejian stood there, looked at Wei Hao and asked, he could see Wei Hao's house from a distance, but when he walked in, he found that it was very large.

"Hey, come, come up!" Wei Hao beckoned to them as he spoke, and took them up to see.

They had just entered the interior and found that it was all covered with cement and very hard.

"Hey, cement, you use this to pave the floor?" Cheng looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, the first floor is laid, and the tiles are still to be laid on it, and now we have to wait, the construction on it is not finished yet!" Wei Hao nodded.

"How did you do such a white wall, isn't it a blue brick house? How is it white? Cheng continued to ask.

"Liud, oops, I can't tell you, come up!" Wei Hao beckoned them up the stairs.

Wei Hao's living room on the first and second floors is empty, very high, and after going to the second floor, they also found that it is still a floor made of cement.

"Cement for floors? Can this? Li Dejian looked at Wei Hao in shock and asked.

"Just kidding, put the rebar, it's not okay? This is much stronger than the wooden floor, and it also has the effect of sound insulation, and the upstairs can also live in people! Wei Hao said to them with a smile.

"No, why is the window in your room so big, and it's cold in winter?" Cheng saw that the windows in Wei Hao's bedroom were very large, and then they also found out that the windows here were very large.

"Hehe, it's not decorated yet, you'll know when it's decorated, keep coming up!" Wei Hao greeted them with a smile and said.

Soon they were on the fourth floor, and they could already see most of Chang'an City on the fourth floor.

"Look, what a view!" Wei Hao said with a smile, and Li Dejian didn't care about looking at the scenery, they were all squatting down and studying Wei Hao's cement slab, and a few of them jumped and found that there was no problem at all.

"This is really a good thing, but, eh, Shen Yong, our cement workshop is full of cement, and the warehouse is full of three, what if it can't be sold?" Li Dejian squatted there, looked up at Wei Hao and asked.

"Isn't the fifth warehouse ready yet?" Wei Hao asked.

"No, it's going to take a few days, no, we have so much production, we have no confidence in our hearts, how to sell this cement?" Li Chongyi also looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Hehe, tomorrow you go to my restaurant, my restaurant will be hardened, you will come to see it then, and I will also invite people from the Ministry of Engineering to come and see!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile.

"Would you like someone from the Ministry of Works to come and see? Build roads with cement? Li Dejian looked at Wei Hao and asked, Wei Hao had told them about this before.

"Well, when the time comes, the straights will probably all have to use our cement! Just hurry up and give birth! Wei Hao said to them with a smile.

There is definitely no problem with cement, once the Ministry of Industry purchases a large number of them, then I don't know if this cement workshop is enough or not, and it may need to be expanded.

When they heard Wei Hao say this, they were a little relieved, after all, this is a new thing, no one has used it, and they don't know if they can sell it.

The next day, they came to Wei Hao's new restaurant and found that they had already started to work, and those who were working were mixing cement.

And Wei Hao watched with the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

"Do you see it, that's it, use a certain proportion of stones and sand, add water to mix, so that you can build roads, I here I calculated, a total of 200 roads need to be repaired, that is, more than a mile of land, you have also seen the labor, about 60 people, used a cart, this cart is made by me, on the flat ground, can be used to load cement, used up, just wash it in time.

You see, they can finish it in one morning, if the straight road takes such a method, I believe that the road from Chang'an to Yumen Pass will be repaired in less than three months, and it will be very easy to walk! Wei Hao was introducing Duan Lun.

Duan Lun nodded, just now he also went to see Wei Hao's floor slab, it was very strong, although there were steel bars in it, but the cement slab was also very strong.

"You all take a look, register it, and when the time comes, you will be able to use it when you cultivate the straight path!" Duan Duanlun said to those craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.

Those craftsmen nodded, Duan Lun and Wei Hao and Li Dejian watched here for a morning, all the repairs were completed, Wei Hao invited them to eat in Juxian Building, after eating, Wei Hao and them went to the new restaurant again, Wei Hao was already on the road that was repaired earlier in the morning.

"You see, it's hot now, and in the morning, it's hard to get dry, and there's no problem for people to step on it, and when you come here tomorrow, you'll be able to see that these roads are all good, and they're very strong!" Wei Hao said to Duan Lun.

"Tomorrow the old man will have to come in person, and he may bring a hammer! Knock on your pavement and see how it goes! Duan Lun looked at Wei Hao and said.

Using cement to build a straight road, Li Shimin also said to Duan Lun, so he wants to come over to take a look, ordinary straight roads, it takes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, until the road surface is compacted, it takes a lot of manpower, and glutinous rice and rice milk are used, which costs a lot.

If the use of cement can be faster, more cost-effective, and the effect is almost the same, then it is also possible to use cement, of course, the road surface must be maintained for decades, this Wei Hao is still confident, most of the appearance to maintain for decades is no problem, of course, some places with landslides and subsidence, may be broken, but it will be fine if it is repaired in time, and now there are no large trucks, if you want to crush the road surface, it is very difficult, just rely on those carriages, it is basically impossible.

Besides, to build a straight road, Wei Hao estimates that the thickness of the cement pavement should be at least 40 centimeters, how can such a thickness be so easy to break.

"No problem, you just come over tomorrow, the weather is good, if it's cold, it may take a few days, but it will definitely be done, it's just a matter of time and evening!" Wei Hao said to Duan Lun.

And the road that Wei Hao is building in the new restaurant, many people have seen it, it is very smooth, much smoother than the road surface on the street, those people and officials, just thinking, can this road be walked?

The next morning, many people found that the road was dry and had turned white, and they found that the workers of Wei Hao's family were walking on it.

"That's it?" Fang Xuanling was also watching at the moment, and personally went to the road to step on it, and found that it was very hard, like a stone.

"Servant shot, you're here too?" At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji also came over, and he also came here to see this road, and now here in Chang'an City, they are all discussing this road, mainly because it is repaired quickly and is smooth, so those officials also want to come and have a look.

"Well, you see, it's sturdy, it's the same as the stone road, the key is that it's smooth, and I heard that it was repaired after Wei Hao spent half a day yesterday?" Fang Xuanling also stepped on it hard and said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"yes, this is the cement they use, it's amazing!" The eldest grandson Wuji also squatted down, and deliberately crushed it with his foot, but there was no trace.

"No, I want to report this matter to Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better if the straight road was also repaired like this, such a road, the carriage is easy to walk, there is no hurdle at all!" Fang Xuanling stood up and said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Well, that's fine!" The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, thinking that this cement workshop also has a share in his own family, besides, this is indeed a good thing, at least for now, it is a good thing.
