Chapter 305

Wei Hao's words made Li Chengqian stand there and think deeply, Wei Hao didn't speak, and after a while, Li Chengqian arched his hand at Wei Hao and said, "Thank you for the reminder, otherwise, you will make a big mistake!" ”

"You are the prince, you have to remember, money, you can spend it, but, as a prince, you can't only have money in your eyes, those money are your tools, and it is your tool to subdue the people and officials, this money can't be given directly to those people, but you can use it to do things and make Datang better! Of course, you say that you want to listen to the singer sing and dance, it's okay, who doesn't have an entertainment, just do it! Wei Hao continued to say to Li Chengqian.

"Lone knows!" Li Chengqian bowed his hand to Wei Hao again.

"Let's go, the school still needs to open, and I found out that you know very little about the affairs of the people, just now, those students hurriedly read books, and I found that you actually have a disgusted expression.

How to say it, in the future, they may be your courtiers, they are now thirsty for knowledge, and you should be very happy, Your Highness, if you have time, go to the people more, Donggong, there are many things you can't see, you can't hear, Dongcheng can't see and hear,

Xicheng and outside the city, you can see the real thing, Datang, now it is really poor, that is, this year, there is only a little money, this time last year, my father and the emperor still have to find a way to get money! Wei Hao continued to say to Li Chengqian,

Li Chengqian heard it, nodded, and then said: "If you have time, Lone really needs to go out for a walk!" ”

Soon, the two of them were out of the room, and the other ministers were waiting for them. "You need to go to the academy now, right?" Li Chengqian asked Gao Shilian.

"Yes, Your Highness, you still need to attend the opening ceremony of the academy, this time a total of 300 students have been recruited, and the potential of these students is very good!" Gao Shilian immediately said to Li Chengqian.

"Okay, then let's go visit those students, they may be able to become the pillars of the court in the future!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Please, Your Highness!" Gao Shilian immediately made a gesture of please, Li Chengqian nodded, and walked forward, while Wei Hao followed, the school is next door to the study building, very close, and they all walked over.

"Your Highness, look at the students outside, they are still queuing up to enter the study building, ordinary people are still eager to study, but there is no chance!" Out of the study building, I saw that there were still four rows of queues outside, all waiting to enter the study building after the inspection, today's situation is special, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, so it needs to be checked.

"Okay, Your Highness is gone, they can go in freely!" Wei Hao shouted at the guards who were inspecting here.

"Yes!" The guards nodded immediately, and then began to let the students in on their own.

"Yes, Lone remembers, the queen mother said that she wants to open a school, so, Shen Yong, what about you, you are a little tired, choose a place for Lonely, Lone pays the money, you help keep an eye on it?" Li Chengqian immediately said to Wei Hao,

Gao Shilian and the other ministers in the back heard it, and they also nodded with satisfaction, they knew that Wei Hao and Li Chengqian must have said something in the room just now, and some of the things that their ministers said, Li Chengqian and Ben would not listen, but Wei Hao said it, maybe it would be useful.

"Don't look for me, just ask the Ministry of Industry to do it, you pay for it, build it better, don't you just use new materials to build, you know about my new mansion, right?" Wei Hao immediately rolled his eyes and said.

"Xia Guogong, Your Highness asked you to be responsible, you will be in charge!" Gao Shilian said anxiously in the back.

"Don't go, I'm busy, I don't know how many things are going on day by day, besides, let the Ministry of Industry go!" Wei Hao still waved his hand and said.

"I think I've heard about your new mansion, it's all made of cement, right? Okay, in this way, let the Ministry of Engineering be responsible, and you can help design it, right? Li Chengqian asked.

"That's no problem, Your Highness, over here!" Wei Hao and the others walked and walked, and they were almost at the side of the school, and they just entered, and there were also a large number of students inside, and they had already lined up on the playground, waiting for Li Chengqian and them.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The officials and teachers in charge here all saluted Li Chengqian and said.

"You have worked hard, are you lonely, let everyone wait here for so long, it will be hot soon, let's hold the opening ceremony first!" Li Chengqian said to those officials with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, over here!" The official in charge here said to Li Chengqian,

Li Chengqian nodded and began to walk to the front, and Wei Hao also followed him, and after arriving at the bottom of the platform, Wei Hao stood up and let Li Chengqian go up alone.

Li Chengqian stood there, naturally he wanted to say something encouraging, hoping that those students would study hard and so on, Li Chengqian finished speaking, it was the official who spoke,

Originally, they wanted Wei Hao to go up and say, Wei Hao wouldn't say, he was not used to such a scene, so he let the officials here speak, and then Mr. spoke on behalf of him.

After the program was completed, it was two quarters of an hour, and then Li Chengqian announced the start of the opening of the hospital, and those gentlemen also took their students to the classroom, and the class was about to start.

And Wei Hao accompanied Li Chengqian and those officials to visit the school together. Introduce them to the function of these buildings, a quarter of an hour later, Wei Hao and they arrived at the classroom, at this moment, those gentlemen are already in class, sitting slowly in the classroom, Wei Hao stipulates that a class is 30 people, but now, there are more than 100 people sitting inside, and many people are observing.

Li Chengqian and they looked outside with their hands behind their backs for a while, and then they were ready to go back, Wei Hao also sent them back, and after Li Chengqian left the school, Wei Hao also went to his office on the side of the school.

"Xia Guogong, this is the disciple who is now registered with Mr. So, there are a total of 920 disciples, most of them are not full, I hope to be able to find better disciples, in addition, the students who are registered to study in the hospital, except for students and disciples, there are more than 3,000 people, the current situation is that the classroom is too small, and many students have no way to attend the class, so, Xia Guogong, is there any way?" The official said to Wei Hao, the official came from the Ministry of Rites, his name was Chen Xi.

"So many people?" Wei Hao also looked at Chen Xi in shock.

"Yes, Xia Guogong, the current situation is that we don't know how to arrange those students to listen to the class, and the classroom can't finish sitting! Even if it is all full, it can only hold more than 1,000 people, and there are more than 3,000 people left, these people are all disciples of the people of Chang'an City, and they all want to ask for learning! Chen Xi also said very distressedly.

"Well, that's it!" Wei Hao touched his head with a headache at the moment, he really didn't expect that so many people would come to audit.

"Xia Guogong, now they can still stand outside and listen, but in winter, there is no stove, they stand outside, how can they listen to the class? In addition, so many students are willing to audit, it stands to reason that we should arrange it, they may be my Datang future talents, we must pay attention to it! Chen Xi continued to look at Wei Hao and said.

"You are like this, you want the guards at the door to register, to see how many people are willing to come every day, every day, we will arrange!" Wei Hao said.

"No, Xia Guogong, you don't understand what I mean, these more than 3,000 people live in the academy, they must come every day!" Chen Xi looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Ah, living in the Academy?" Wei Hao was even more shocked.

"There is no way to count the day students, but it is estimated that there are quite a few." Chen Xi continued.

"There's no way around that, so how many classrooms do we have now?" Wei Hao asked.

"There are about 20 classrooms, which is not enough, but the second phase of classrooms will be able to do it in one month!" Chen Xi looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Okay, I'll go to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to add Mr., in this case, there will be 10 students in each class, so that more students can be accommodated." Wei Hao thought about it for a moment and said to Chen Xi.

"Yes, that's the best, it's really necessary to increase Mr., and besides, there will be enrollment next year, I guess most of them may be people studying here!" Chen Xi nodded and said,

Wei Hao nodded, and then went to the bookstore, and when he arrived at the bookstore, he found that there was not a single book on the shelf, but His Majesty had put tens of thousands of books here, and now there is not a single one.

And Wei Hao found that under those eaves, a large number of students knelt on the ground to copy books, for those students, they like to copy books, because it is rare to encounter a good book, only by copying it, can they go back to study slowly, plus, now the book building here provides free paper, as long as you bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, such an opportunity, for those students, is indeed very rare.

"Xia Guogong!" The officials on the side of the book building also came to Wei Hao's side.

"Missing a book?" Wei Hao looked at the official and asked.

"No, now many students are looking for their friends to copy a book together, just today, we have consumed a total of 2,000 large sheets of paper, and those students have taken them! It's all copied here now! The official reported to Wei Hao.

"It doesn't matter, as many pieces of paper as there are, the paper workshop will send them over, and they will copy it like this, which is a good thing for our court!" Wei Hao stood there, still feeling a little sorry for those students, after all, he has printing technology in his hands, but he can't use it, this is a balance reached with the family, if he breaks it easily, then the family will inevitably fight back, and he may not be able to bear it.

"Grandpa Guo, if you do this every day, it's a huge expense!" The official said worriedly to Wei Hao.

"How much overhead? A large piece of paper costs 5 yuan, 2000 pieces are only 10 yuan, and a year is only 3000 yuan, how much expense? Well? Wei Hao glanced at the official and continued to walk with his hands behind his back.

"But what if the Ministry of Civil Affairs doesn't give money?" The official continued to chase after Wei Hao and asked.

"If you don't give money, I see who dares not to give it! What, run out of money? Wei Hao asked.

"No, we don't need any money, mainly paper and candles, no, we have to open it at night, then we need to light candles! This is something that needs money to procure! Now there are only 20 yuan in the accounts, and there are 50,000 large sheets of paper and 10,000 candles in the treasury! The officer spoke.

"I'm going to go, you don't need to worry about this!" Wei Hao said to the official, and continued to look at those students, I felt very good, seeing these students studying so hard, Wei Hao was also very pleased, I don't know if I can shoot left and right in the future, can I write books?

Wei Hao inspected a circle, and then went back, he still had things to be busy at home, and in Li Shimin's study, Duan Lun also reported to His Majesty the inspection of cement by the Ministry of Industry, after the report, Duan Lun said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister's suggestion is to use cement to build roads, such roads are very easy to walk, and the cost is low, the key is that the speed is fast!" ”

"Well, the Ministry of Engineering has tested everything?" Li Shimin sat there and asked Duan Lun.

"Yes, all the tests have been done, including how to repair the road, we have asked Wei Hao in detail, and Wei Hao has given detailed answers, including when it is just repaired, it still needs to be watered, and at the same time, every 10 meters or so, a gap needs to be left and so on!" Duan Lun nodded and said.

"Okay, purchase cement, inform those who repair the straight road, from now on, build the cement road!" Li Shimin nodded and said to Duan Lun.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in addition, cement also has a huge role, Yumen Pass, has been repaired before, need to use tens of thousands of dollars, this time, if you use cement and steel bars, it costs less than 10,000 yuan, and it is strong, the minister means, the Ministry of Industry sent personnel, with cement and steel bars to Yumen Pass, repair Yumen Pass!" Duan Lun continued to say to Li Shimin.

"Okay, Minbu Shangshu!" Li Shimin sat there and spoke.

"The minister is here!" Dai Xuan immediately stood up and arched his hand.

"Pay the money to buy cement, so that the priority is to meet the repair of the city of the side plug, how many steel bars are there on the iron mill now?" Li Shimin looked at Duan Lun as he spoke.

"There are still 300,000 catties, and there is no mass production now, because everyone is not familiar with it, that is, Xia Guogong uses more! However, the minister believed that the amount of steel bars used in the future must be very large, and the minister had already issued an order to the iron mill. Let them not stop producing rebar, let them save first! Duan Lun said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, let's do it then!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Yes!" Duan Lun and Dai Xuan immediately arched their hands and said.

"Well, let's do it!" Li Shimin said to the two of them, the two of them immediately bowed their hands and said, and then withdrew, and after the two of them left, Li Shimin sat there worried, worried about Li Chengqian's affairs, they were already married, and they were not sensible.

"Lao Hong!" Li Shimin suddenly shouted, and immediately Lao Hong came out and stood in front of Li Shimin.

"Did Gao Ming go to the school and the library today?" Li Shimin asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, I went, although I was a quarter of an hour late, but I still behaved very well, especially in the school, and I talked with the students." Gonggong Hong stood there and arched his hand.

"Hmm!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"In addition, over there in the study building, Wei Hao and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chatted for a while, and they chatted in a room, we don't know what they talked about, but after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out, his spirit was a little different, and in addition, Wei Hao was responsible for the establishment of a new school, Wei Hao didn't agree!" Gonggong Hong continued to speak.

"Oh, they talked about it, and they talked about building a school?" Li Shimin asked with interest at the moment.

"Yes, I don't know what we talked about." Gonggong Hong nodded and said.

"Well, this kid, what are you busy with now?" Li Shimin then asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know yet, I guess I'm still busy with his new mansion!" Grandpa Hong replied.

"Well, this kid, it's hard for anyone to find him now, and he doesn't come to the palace every day, but the things in the study building and the school are doing well." Li Shimin nodded with great satisfaction and said,

In the afternoon, a large number of carriages from the Ministry of Industry drove to the cement workshop, and now Datang is not short of horses, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Civil Affairs,

In the first half of this year, the Turks and Tibetans have sold nearly 120,000 horses to Datang, and Datang has bought them all, and now the price of Datang horses has dropped by three percent, because of the influx of a large number of horses, and many ordinary people's homes, as long as they have a little money in their hands, will buy a few, mainly for work.

"How many catties, 5 million catties?" Cheng looked at the official of the Ministry of Industry in surprise and said,

Now cement is 10 catties and 10 yuan, and the cost is about 2 yuan, and 500,000 catties is 500 yuan, 5 million catties, which is equivalent to their current 10 days of output, mainly 2 furnaces have been opened, and other furnaces have not been opened.

"This is only these two days, and there will be a lot of more in the future, it is estimated that all the cement on your side this year will be sold by the court, and now these cements need to be transported to Yumen Pass, and the cement for the straight road is estimated to start buying tomorrow!" The official of the Ministry of Industry said to Cheng Zhihei.

"No, so much, you transport to Yumen Pass, do you know how many carriages are needed? A carriage can hold about 2,000 catties, 5 million catties, and more than 2,000 carriages are needed! Cheng looked at them in surprise and asked.

"We have mobilized 1,000 carriages now, and we will go to the ironshop to borrow 1,500 carriages, and we are still working on new carriages, and it is estimated that they will be soon, and now there is no shortage of horses, so carriages are easy to do!" The official of the Ministry of Industry said to them,

Now there are a lot of horse-drawn carriages, and since last winter, many families in Datang have begun to make horse-drawn carriages one after another, mainly to facilitate the transportation of things.
