Chapter 244
···· This chapter is a supplement to yesterday's less chapter.,I'm sorry.,Yesterday was really tired!···
Wei Ting didn't understand Wei Hao's doing this, why did he deal with the family like this.
"Brother, you are also a person who has read books, and you have also achieved the right of Shangshu, so my brother will ask you, is the existence of the family a good thing or a bad thing?" Wei Hao sat there, looked at Wei Ting and asked.
"This?" Wei Ting heard Wei Hao ask this, and thought about it for a while, how do you let yourself answer such a question?
"There are good and bad, of course, it used to be good, after all, there are not many readers, the family has maintained the continuation of our culture, a good thing, but the existence of the family is also a bad thing, they control the books, enslave the people of the world, they now think that they are superior, those ordinary people, are ants, should not come out, should always be squeezed by them, this brother I disagree with very much.
My family, the most realistic example, almost half of the money my father earns is contributed to the family, and the family is distributed to the children of those officials, I want to ask, why? If there is no family, can I keep the money earned by my father, and why should the money earned by my own ability be distributed to the family?
That's right, the family gave our family shelter, but there is no family, do we still need shelter? Also, those ordinary people outside, as long as their wealth exceeds 1,000 yuan, some people from the family begin to worry about other people's property, especially those who have business, they will definitely plunder other people's business, what is this called the world? Why is the family so domineering when doing things.
Also, let's talk about the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the money that belongs to the people, not the money of the family. How good would it be if the money they took away was used to develop education, repair roads, and strengthen the military, but the money was used to distribute it to those officials, why? Why do they take the money paid by the people and divide it privately?
You just said that I want to dig the roots of the family, you go and ask the patriarch, I really want to dig the roots, the family is estimated to be worried about it for a long time, what should I do! Wei Hao sat there, looked at Wei Ting and said.
Wei Ting looked at Wei Hao, still a little incomprehensible to Wei Hao.
"Brother, I don't have such big ambitions, I just hope for a little, fair, relatively fair, to give those people a chance to get ahead, so that they won't be unable to rise at all, I, Wei Hao, am lucky, I have come up, but how many people have such luck as me? Reading is their only chance, and I don't want to deprive them of that opportunity.
Besides, the court is not a hall of words, and the family cannot have the final say, but the people of the world have the final say, and the officials who come out of the poor family, I believe that there will be many scum among them, but there are also good officials, but one thing I am sure of is that ordinary people can see hope, and they will force their children to study, so that the world will make progress, instead of relying on the family all the time.
What the family wants to do now is to maintain the current state and hope that the family will always control the world. I don't agree with this! Let's just say that the road outside Chang'an City, how many county orders have it undergone, and has anyone repaired it? Well? Does it cost a lot of money to build those roads? Don't need it, right? But why doesn't anyone do it? Don't you just think, it's my business, anyway, after a few years, the position above is empty, so I'll go up! Wei Hao continued.
Wei Ting sat there quietly and considered.
"The establishment of the Supervision Yuan is to hope to supervise the work and education of hundreds of officials, that is, to hope that more talents in the world will come out for the use of the court and the people of the world, it's as simple as that, as for what you said, digging the corners of the family, well, strictly speaking, forget it, but if I really want to dig, this is really pediatric!" Wei Hao sat there and said with a sneer.
"Aren't you afraid, the family knows about it and will strongly oppose this matter?" Wei Ting looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"Opposition is certain, but this is His Majesty's business, he has the ability to promote this matter, and if he doesn't have the ability, he will put it on hold, what can I do, I am just responsible for coming up with ideas, whether it can be done or not, I don't care!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Ting with a smile and said.
Wei Ting heard it and nodded.
"Brother clan, the broken ship of the family will sink sooner or later, the clan brother should think more about himself and the people, maybe he will be able to leave a name in history, as for the affairs of the family, you don't have to think about it, it's useless, sooner or later!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Ting and persuaded him.
When Wei Ting heard it, he smiled bitterly, how could it be as easy as he said, except for Wei Hao, who could press the family like this?
"Well, I think about it, but I also want to remind you that you also need to think carefully when you do things, don't just help Your Majesty, sometimes, it may not be a good thing!" Wei Ting reminded Wei Hao and said.
"I know, I'm not helping Your Majesty, if it's helping Your Majesty, I won't write that concerto, I'm for the people of the world, I just hope that the people can have more opportunities." Wei Hao nodded and said emphatically to Wei Ting.
"Okay, that's okay, you're going to be crowned tomorrow, congratulations to your brother first, you are an adult, you need to go to court in the future, and you won't be alone when the time comes." Wei Ting smiled and said to Wei Hao.
"What did you say, Shang Chao?" When Wei Hao heard this, he stared at Wei Ting and asked.
"Of course, after the crowning, you must go to the court, even if you don't hold any official position, you need to go, unless it is specially approved by His Majesty, of course, below the earl, if there is no specific official position, you don't need to go to the court, but above the earl, you must go!" Wei Ting said to Wei Hao.
"Holy!" Wei Hao immediately shouted.
"No, you, what's wrong?" Wei Ting really didn't understand why Wei Hao was so surprised, isn't this something that children know?
"I don't want to go to the court, no, I have to think of a way, I'm already very tired from practicing martial arts every day, and I have to go to the court, I'm full?" Wei Hao sat there, touched his head and said.
Wei Ting looked at Wei Hao in shock, he actually said that the last dynasty was full of food, what did those officials in the last dynasty think?
"Alright, I'll take my leave!" Wei Ting stood up at this moment, for Wei Hao, he still had a lot of things he couldn't understand, so forget it, don't think about it!
"Okay, I'll send you!" Wei Hao also stood up and sent it to the door of his small courtyard, after watching Wei Ting leave, Wei Hao touched his head very depressed, he wanted to go to court, this, it's a bit of a pit!
Very early the next day, Wei Hao was called.
"Well, did I oversleep? Going to practice martial arts? Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong and Wang who were sitting there, stunned for a moment, thinking that he had overslept.
"No, get up quickly, you have to go to the ancestral hall to worship incense, make a prayer to the ancestors, may my son be safe, get up quickly! Today, there are more than ten crowned on the family's side, and a large number of children are crowned every day! Wei Furong looked at Wei Ting and said.
"I still have to practice martial arts! Why didn't you say it before? Wei Hao sat up, and the family came over to dress Wei Hao.
"I didn't want to go, I just explained to the housekeeper, and when your master comes, I'll talk to your master!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao.
Wei Hao had no choice but to follow the arrangement.
After washing, I didn't eat breakfast, so I took the carriage to the ancestral hall, Wei Furong brought the tribute over, and when I arrived outside the gate of the ancestral hall, the carriage stopped, Wei Hao and Wei Furong went in with the tribute, and when they got inside, they found that there were two teenagers kneeling inside, and the incense was also lit.
"Hao'er, go and light incense, and then worship the ancestors, these things, it's time for you to do it yourself!" Wei Furong stood there and said to Wei Hao.
Wei Hao nodded, began to light incense, then carried the basket containing the tribute, worshiped the ancestors, and then knelt down for an hour.
And Wei Furong went back first.
"Are you the grandfather of the county?" The young man next to him looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"Hmm!" Wei Hao nodded.
"I've seen Azu!" The young man said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao was very embarrassed, he was the same age as him, and he actually called himself Azu.
"My name is Wei Qiang, that, do you have land to plant?" The young man looked at Wei Hao and continued to ask.
"You want to farm?" Wei Hao asked.
"Well, my family wants to farm the land, the family that my family planted before, they sold the land, and the newly bought owner asked us to pay an extra 10% of the rent, which reached 50%, my father said that it can't be drawn, I heard that your family has a lot of land, do you need to plant?" Wei Qiang looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"Yes, but what about you, are you reading?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Qiang and asked.
"No, I didn't read, I just knew a few words, my father taught me, and I didn't have money to study!" Wei Qiang looked at Wei Hao and said embarrassedly.
"Isn't there a family ethnology? Why not read? Wei Hao asked very incomprehensibly.
"There is no way to work when you study, and it costs money, although you don't need to spend money to study, but it costs money to eat, how can there be money at home?" Wei Qiang said embarrassedly.
"Then blame your father for not having the ability, the children of the Wei family are actually mixed up like this!" The other teenager looked at Wei Qiang contemptuously at the moment and said.
"Well, what does your dad do?" Wei Hao looked at the young man and asked.
"Back to the lord, my father is Wei Chenghai, the clerk of the Criminal Department, and my name is Wei Cong!" The young man immediately said politely to Wei Hao.
"Oh, your father is an official!" Wei Hao nodded, then looked at Wei Qiang and said: "After I go back, tell your father, let your father go to my house, when my family asks, you say, I asked you to come to find it, and when the time comes, let my father plant the land for your family, and your family can plant as much as you want!" ”
"Eh, thank you, sir, don't worry, my father can farm the land, I'm okay, wait a few years, I will marry a daughter-in-law, and I will also farm the land of the lord's family!" Wei Qiang said very happily.
"Well, if the clan studies let you go to school, will you go?" Wei Hao thought about it for a moment and asked.
"No, I'm so old, I'm still thinking about helping my dad with a little bit of land and pulling my younger siblings up!" Wei Qiang touched his head with a smile and said.
"Well, good!" Wei Hao nodded.
"Sir, I'm studying in the study of ethnology, and this year's spring, please help me look at my submission papers!" Wei Cong looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile.
"Well, I can't read that, and I haven't read anything!" Wei Hao smiled and said.
When Wei Cong heard this, he smiled again and said, "It's okay, you can help me take a look, and then write your comment!" Wei Cong continued to say to Wei Hao.
Wei Hao nodded, did not speak, at this time, a father and son came in outside, and they were also crowned today, and after the worship, the young man knelt in the ancestral hall.
"What's your name and what do you do?" Wei Cong looked at the young man and asked.
"It's called Wei Yun, who runs a shop at home!" The boy spoke.
"Oh!" When Wei Cong heard this, he no longer paid attention to him, but looked at Wei Hao and said, "Sir, the food in your Juxian Mansion is really delicious, I often go to eat it." Now there are dumplings, buns, and white noodles, and that's delicious! ”
Wei Cong looked at Wei Hao and continued, Wei Hao smiled and nodded, still did not speak.
And Wei Yun next to him looked at Wei Hao, and wanted to stop talking, Wei Hao saw it, but the other party didn't say it, and he wouldn't ask, right?
"Are you Wei Hao's old Azu?" Wei Yun plucked up his courage and looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"Well, I am!" Wei Hao nodded, thinking in his heart, his rank had been upgraded by one level.
"Well, I want to ask you for something!" The young man looked at Wei Hao and said with great determination.
"Well, you say!" Wei Hao nodded.
"I... I studied in a private school and wanted to participate in the imperial examination, but I needed a recommender to participate in the imperial examination, but my father went to find the county order, and I heard that the county order was also our old ancestor, but I couldn't get in at all, so I didn't find it, and I couldn't find other officials in the family, so I want to find you, can you help me write a letter of recommendation, let me take the exam, I need to take the Chang'an County exam first, and after passing, I can take the Chunqiu, and the Chang'an County exam will be held at the end of the month! Wei Yun looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"Oh, are there any requirements for a letter of recommendation? Or is it better to write a random one? When Wei Hao heard this, he looked at Wei Yun and asked.
"Just write one, I'll hand it over to the county order at that time, and then I can go to take the exam." Wei Yun said to Wei Hao.
"Well, okay, do you have pen and paper here?" Wei Hao nodded, then looked left and right, on a desk, saw the pen and paper, stood up, went to take the pen and paper and the inkstone, got some water and poured it into the inkstone, and came over to continue kneeling.
"Sir, I'll grind ink for you!" Wei Yun was very excited at the moment, and immediately knelt down to grind ink for Wei Hao.
"Okay, here you go!" Wei Hao nodded, then began to fold the paper, and then said: "My handwriting is very poor, Your Majesty has scolded me many times, don't you mind!" Wei Hao said with a smile.
"Don't mind, my dad told me that you didn't study much before, you just fought, but you have great skills, and I don't, so I can only rely on reading." Wei Yun said shyly to Wei Hao.
"Well, there were fights every day at that time!" Wei Hao said with a smile.
After Wei Yun finished grinding the ink, Wei Hao began to write, and when he finished writing, he made an envelope for Wei Yun, and then wrote on it: "Brother Wei Cong, Wei Haojing, the founder of Pingyang!" ”
After writing it, I got it done and handed it to Wei Yun.
"Thank you, old Azu!" Wei Yun knelt there and kowtowed to Wei Hao as he spoke.
"Eh, don't kowtow, this is the ancestral hall, it's not good for you to kowtow to me!" Wei Hao hurriedly said.
"It's okay, you're already senior. Yes, and I can afford it! Wei Yun said to Wei Hao with a smile.
"Well, take the exam well, strive to participate in the Spring Festival, and if you pass the Spring Festival, you will be able to become an official!" Wei Hao said to Wei Yun.
"Thank you, old Azu!" Wei Yun said to Wei Hao again, slowly, there are more and more people on the side of the ancestral hall, all of them are teenagers.
"Wei Hao, are you here too?" At this time, Wei Yuanzhao actually came in, and those teenagers saw Wei Yuanzhao and immediately knelt down to salute Wei Yuanzhao.
"Well, it's free, almost, right?" Wei Yuanzhao waved his hand at them, looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"Almost, about half an hour to go." Wei Hao nodded and said.
"I'll go to my house for breakfast later, it's all ready for you." Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said.
"Don't you? I guess my dad is waiting for me at home! Wei Hao said with a refusal.
"It's okay, I sent someone to inform you and tell your dad that you will have dinner at my house in the morning." Wei Yuanzhao said with a smile.
When Wei Hao heard this, he could only nod his head, and when the time was up, Wei Hao stood up, and after saying hello to those people, Wei Hao went to Wei Yuanzhao's mansion.
"Come, Hao'er, white porridge and white noodles are all from your house, and the old man is usually reluctant to eat them! This is pickles, and this is fresh spinach made by the old man. Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and explained with a smile.
"Well, patriarch, you eat too!" Wei Hao nodded.
"Wei Hao, when did the business you mentioned start? Don't talk about other people, let's just say that the old man, now they all want to buy white flour and white rice, after eating this, the previous rice and white flour, I can't eat it at all! Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"It's not so fast, I guess I'll have to wait for the beginning of spring, and this matter is still a little troublesome, I have to deal with it." Wei Hao said to Wei Yuanzhao.
"Trouble? What's wrong? When Wei Yuanzhao heard this, he immediately asked, he didn't want any big trouble.
"King Yue and King Shu also want to participate, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want them to participate, this matter, I don't know how to deal with it for a while." Wei Hao said to Wei Yuanzhao.
"They're going to participate too? Isn't it for royalty? I can just talk to Your Majesty about this matter. Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said.
"It's not that simple, so to speak, it's tantamount to offending them, this matter, I still need to find a chance, otherwise, it's not easy, I don't know what these princes mean, you let me think about it, if it doesn't work, I'll divide the royal share into two, one is the royal treasury, and the other is the royal princes, so that the two are not offended, but His Majesty may not be willing, he must hope that the more shares controlled by the royal treasury, the better!" Wei Hao sat there, thought about it for a while, and said.
