Chapter 253

Wei Hao arrived at the harem, holding Li Zhi in one hand and his son in the other, the son was still young, not yet a year old, but he had already begun to babble.

"Son, when you grow up, brother-in-law will find you the most capable Langjun, don't expect your father, he is unreliable, really!" Wei Hao said to his son.

Empress Eldest Sun heard this and laughed.

"Brother-in-law, what is Lang Jun?" Li Zhi looked up at Wei Hao and asked.

At this moment, Li Zhi is only four or five years old, and he doesn't understand anything.

"Don't worry about it, you will find the princess in the future, I can't help with this, I have to rely on your father, your father will find you to find it, but your father may not be reliable!" Wei Hao immediately said to Li Zhi.

"Father is very reliable! What does that mean reliable? Li Zhi heard it, looked up at Wei Hao and asked.

"Hey, reliable means that you can do things reliably, are you reliable in doing things?" Wei Hao looked at Li Zhi and asked.

"Of course I can rely on it, the queen mother asked me to take my sister, and I took good care of them!" Li Zhi said seriously.

"Oh, that's okay, that's manly, keep up the good work, come, give you this!" Wei Hao took out a piece of popcorn and gave it to Li Zhi.

"Yu Nu, don't listen to his nonsense, why is my father unreliable?" Li Lizhen couldn't help but laugh and slapped Wei Hao next to him, and then said to Li Zhi.

"Okay, Hao'er, don't say it in front of your father, otherwise, you'll be angry again!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"If you're angry, you're angry, how can there be this, I helped him settle things, he's good, let me go to jail, eh, queen mother, you say go to jail and go to jail, I don't have any opinions, I often go, I'm used to it, but he deducted my money for a year, this is very depressing, I did it in vain this year! Queen Mother, you said that you fined me 50 yuan, I don't feel distressed, but if you deduct my money, I feel distressed! Wei Hao sat there and said to Empress Eldest Sun.

"Isn't that the same? Not 50 bucks? Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao a little puzzled and asked.

"Of course it's different, the fine is a one-time fine, and 50 yuan is not much, but have you considered it, when the other lieutenants received the money, I stood next to me and looked dryly, do you know what the mood is?

If someone asks at this moment, what about that Wei Duwei, what about your fortune this quarter, what do I say? I said that the punishment is over, is it a shame? In another quarter, when someone else receives money, I still look at it, and when others ask me what about my money, I say that the penalty is over, and where do you say my face should be placed, and my father can't directly say that he is fined, so I will send the money over, instead of saying, fine? ”

Wei Hao sat there and explained to Li Liqing, Li Li couldn't be happy, and the eldest grandson queen couldn't laugh, according to Wei Hao, it was really, a little pitiful.

"Yes, you said that I vigorously promoted what my father wanted to do, and it doesn't matter if the reward is not me, after all, doing things for my father, that's what it should be, I fight with others, my father is not happy, and I should be in prison, but this punishment for me, I'm really depressed!" Wei Hao said to Empress Eldest Sun.

"Well, really, when your father comes, I'll talk to him!" Empress Eldest Sun nodded approvingly.

Of course, she knew that Wei Hao was the first person to make the contribution to the establishment of the Supervision Yuan this time, and helped Li Shimin win another game, so it stands to reason that he should be rewarded.

"Well, Queen Mother, you have to talk about him, it's not like words! Stingy! Wei Hao nodded very approvingly and said.

When Empress Changsun heard this, she was happy, and then chatted here, and when it was almost time to eat, Li Shimin also came over.

"Erchen has seen his father!" Wei Hao and Li Liqing, Li Zhi and the three of them hurriedly saluted Li Shimin.

"Well, here we are!" Li Shimin said with a face.

"Well, here we are!" Wei Hao smiled and nodded and said.

"Alright, let's start serving!" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile, and then those palace maids and eunuchs brought the meal, and Wei Hao still had a separate soup to drink.

"Well, yes, the skills of the imperial chef are getting better and better!" Wei Hao tasted those dishes, and they really tasted good.

"Well, if you like it, eat more, and now when you're still growing your body, eat more!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Well, thank you, Queen Mother!" Wei Hao nodded and said, This Li Shimin is depressed, it's okay to thank the queen mother, I don't know thank you father, father is good to you.

"Ahem, Shen Yong, the idea you gave Gao Ming is good, I am very satisfied, Gao Ming can do this, it is also a huge help for him!" Li Shimin sat there and spoke.

"Oh, it's okay, in fact, there are still a lot of things that can be done, it's just that His Highness has no money, he's too poor, it's only tens of thousands of dollars, what can be done, but it's good to add up a lot!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"What is Gao Ming going to do?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

"Repair the road, it is estimated that he has recently gotten a sum of money, and there is more money in the East Palace, so he wants to do something, to build the road, to repair the road from Chang'an to Luoyang, this is a good thing, I agreed!" Li Shimin said with a smile at Empress Eldest Sun.

"That's a good thing!" When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she nodded very happily.

"This money, although it is not taken from the people, but it is still good to use it for the people, the road is repaired, it is still of great help to the circulation of those commodities in my Datang, and at the same time, it will also increase the tax revenue of the court, which is indeed a good thing, and the road is repaired, it will also increase the popularity of Luoyang, I heard that there are not many people in Luoyang, and it is very tattered!" Wei Hao sat there, looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Well, it has been in disrepair for a long time, and there is no money in the court, so Luoyang is indeed a little broken!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"The road has been repaired, and it is estimated that Luoyang will definitely develop soon!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

When Li Shimin heard it, he looked at Wei Hao in a little surprise, wanting to hear why Wei Hao had such a judgment.

"Father, originally from Chang'an to the southeast, the materials in the northeast are very scattered, after all, the roads are almost the same, and even said that the materials to the northeast do not go to Luoyang, starting from the north of Chang'an, if it is repaired, I believe that most people will choose to take Luoyang, so that those businessmen will stay in Luoyang.

That's a great thing for Luoyang, it's a great thing, businessmen want to eat and live, and hire people to work, which can greatly increase Luoyang's income, need more people, and more income, the people of Luoyang City will also increase, and then Luoyang City will be more prosperous. Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"Well, yes, but there's not enough money!" Li Shimin nodded, knowing that this matter was very important, but Li Chengqian's money was not enough.

"It doesn't matter, if this year's income is okay, you can support some, and now there are seven or eight hundred thousand yuan in cash on the domestic side, of which 300,000 yuan is handed over by those families, in addition, now the porcelain workshop and the paper workshop, each month's income, enough for the entire internal expenses, there is still a surplus.

Moreover, His Majesty still has money to send over, and the court will also send money over according to the custom, and the concubine estimates that there may be millions of dollars in this year's balance, since building the road is so important, let Gao Ming repair it first, and the concubine will support him with some more! Empress Eldest Sun spoke.

She spared no effort to support Li Chengqian, just hoping that he could stabilize the crown prince, now it's not that no one is staring at this position, just saying that those princes are still young, and the second is that they are still queens, and those people below don't dare to move, but there are some things, who says it well, so the eldest grandson queen is now paving the way for Li Chengqian.

"Don't give him money directly, let him borrow it, you can lend it to him, you have to make an IOU, the internal money is the money of the entire royal family, you can't give him one person!" Li Shimin sat there, thought about it for a while, and said.

"Borrow? So how can he pay it back? Empress Eldest Sun heard this, surprised by the question.

"He still has to afford it, otherwise, when he has so much money in his hands, it may not be a good thing, and the money still needs to be spent to be useful!" Li Shimin opened his mouth and said.

Wei Hao heard it and pursed his lips.

"Bunny, if you have something to say, just say it!" When Li Shimin saw Wei Hao like this, he stared at Wei Hao and said dissatisfiedly.

"My son borrowed Lao Tzu's money, and he still needs to pay it back, but I won't pay it back anyway!" Wei Hao sat there and said with disdain.

"Your father is just one of your sons, all his things are yours, I have so many sons, and there are swaddling babies, the whole inner house here, to raise the entire royal family, if the money is spent on Gao Ming, the royal children will have opinions on Gao Ming!" Li Shimin explained to Wei Hao.

"I know, I just said, what you just said, there is too much money, for His Royal Highness the Prince, it is not a good thing, Erchen doesn't understand, why is it not a good thing, if he doesn't learn how to control money, how to manage the world's money in the future, and now there is a chance for him to practice, you still deliberately set up blocks?

It stands to reason that Father, you should encourage him now, how to spend money, such as building roads, such as building bridges, such as education, such as medicine, etc., as long as it is for the sake of the people, let His Highness do it, let His Highness know that the people are still very poor, in order to let the people live a rich life, as His Royal Highness the Prince, he needs to do something! Wei Hao also argued with Li Shimin, this time Li Shimin didn't speak, but considered Wei Hao's words.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if he can't even control this money, then what else can he control, such a Royal Highness the Prince, is it what your father needs?" Wei Hao continued to stimulate Li Shimin and said.

And the eldest grandson queen on the side was very satisfied with what Wei Hao said.

"Well, okay, it's okay to support him a little, but he doesn't come to you to ask for it, you can't take the initiative to give, sometimes, you still need to rely on himself!" Li Shimin nodded at this moment, as if he had thought it through, and said to Empress Changsun.

"Well, the concubine knows, but Gao Ming's recent performance is still good, and he knows that he has considered it for the people!" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

"Well, that's a good point!" Li Shimin was also very satisfied, Wei Hao continued to eat, originally he didn't eat or sleep, Li Shimin had to find himself to talk.

After eating, Wei Hao originally wanted to go to Da'an Palace, but was stopped by Li Shimin and asked Wei Hao to accompany him, it had just snowed two days ago, and the inside of the imperial garden was covered by snow, but now the weather is not so cold, it is already spring, and the weather is starting to get warmer, especially when there is still the sun at noon.

"Father, on this day, you still go to the imperial garden, aren't you cold?" Wei Hao said depressedly with Li Shimin.

"You are a strong guy, you are still afraid of the cold, are you ashamed?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and said with disdain.

"Who is idle and has nothing to do, there is a stove in the house, and they run outside to get cold, and they are masochistic, isn't it?" Wei Hao continued to complain in the back.

Li Shimin doesn't want to continue this topic at the moment, and if he is allowed to continue, it is estimated that he will have to talk about it for a long time.

"Gao Ming, you have done a good job in this matter, you want him to understand the lives of the people well and do more practical things for the people!" Li Shimin walked in front, and Wei Hao followed behind.

"Then wouldn't it be good if you let him go to the people for a walk, he is locked up in the East Palace every day, what he can know, what he knows, is what others tell him!" Wei Hao continued in the back, he didn't say the words later, he knew that Li Shimin understood, and the words were spread by people, so it was with personal subjective wishes.

"Well, he is the prince, he has a lot of things to learn, how can he have so much time to go out and walk around, and every time he goes out, he may not be able to see the real situation, and the people below, you still don't know if you report good news or bad news." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"What's this, often go out for a walk, don't follow the route arranged by those officials, you can still see some real things, if the people around Chang'an City are not doing well, then the people in other places must be even more miserable." Wei Hao said in the back.

Li Shimin nodded, and then said, "Otherwise, how about you go to the East Palace to take up a post?" Wei Hao just heard it, so he stopped, looking at Li Shimin's back, Li Shimin didn't hear the footsteps behind him, so he turned around.

"Why, don't you want to go?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I knew you didn't talk much, it's only been less than a month, and you regretted it, how can you be like this? You are the emperor, you can't talk and don't count, people say, a gentleman is hard to chase after a word, if you say, you don't have to chase! Wei Hao immediately complained loudly there, and Li Shimin stared at him with a dark face.

"Father, don't look at me like that, you don't mean what you say, I'll go to the East Palace? I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to build my Guogong Mansion, you've also been to my house, you say, I'm embarrassed to ask someone to go to my house now? It's so small, I don't have a place to arrange it when there are too many people, I originally wanted to treat the prince of the country this time, but I counted, good guy, if you have a treat, my family doesn't have such a big place to arrange, father, we said okay a year ago, and I won't do anything else this year! Wei Hao continued to say to Li Shimin, he didn't care whether Li Shimin had a black face or not.

"Why is it so hard for you to do some work? Yes? Isn't it good to go to the East Palace and assist Gao Ming? Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and reproached.

"It's not good, as long as I am allowed to work, it's not good, I won't go!" Wei Hao nodded very affirmatively and said that he would not go.

"You, hey! Okay, you kid, can you go next year? Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.

"Next year's things will be said next year, what's the use of talking now, I don't know if there are other things next year, father, just let me stop, I haven't rested for a long time, and besides, my family has so much land this year, if I rely on my father alone, he will be tired to death, as soon as my father is tired, he will find me angry, twist the stick and beat me, I still go home to help take care of it, otherwise, I will really be beaten!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin pitifully as he spoke.

"You're so afraid of your father?" Li Shimin thought of this, so he asked with a smile.

"Who is not afraid, you are not afraid? When the Emperor Taishang beat you with a stick, you have a kind of don't run! Wei Hao rolled his eyes and said.

"Get out!" Li Shimin scolded Wei Hao, which pot is not opened.

"Oh, okay!" Wei Hao immediately turned around and was about to run, wishing he could.

"Come back, you kid, you did it on purpose, didn't you?" Li Shimin was angry, so he said that if he got out, he would really run.

"You said it yourself, I knew you were the kind of person who didn't talk much!" Wei Hao still complained.

"Okay, don't talk about this, let's talk about the matter of the library, this matter is related to the future of Datang, although it is handed over to the Emperor Taishang to manage, but I hope you will contribute, because you understand, I hope you are diligent, you are lazy elsewhere, it's okay, my father also knows that you are lazy, but teaching and educating people, you can't be lazy, that's a matter of delaying other people's lives!" Li Shimin said as he walked with his hands behind his back in front.

"Well, I know, in fact, I'm not interested in this, it's not so much that I'm not interested, it's better to say that I don't agree with this way of education, I know that reading the words of the sages, I'm not saying that the words of the sages are wrong, they must be right, but you can't just learn this.

Can anyone tell me why thunder strikes in the sky, why thunder sees lightning first and then thunder, why the four seasons change throughout the year, why it snows, why the sun comes out of the east and not from the west! Why doesn't anyone study these things? Do you know how to study the words of those saints? ”

Wei Hao stood there and asked Li Shimin, leaving Li Shimin stunned, thinking in his heart what kind of problem is this?

"You, you, why do you kid have so many questions, since you want to know those questions, you go to read a book!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Read, is there a book? You don't lie to me, father, tell me, which book is there? Still reading books? It's not in the book at all! Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin with disdain and said.

"There must be in the books!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said with great certainty.

"Then let's make a bet!" Wei Hao said unconvinced to Li Shimin.
