Chapter 290

When they were on the road, Li Shimin and Wei Hao talked about the matter of the iron workshop, and now it can basically be decided, and Fang Yizhi is the person in charge, but Li Shimin also has a lot of considerations for the iron workshop.

The important thing is that there needs to be enough iron to supply to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and at the same time, it must be supplied to the people, and when the people have iron, they can make agricultural tools and increase the overall yield of crops, which is the key.

"Well, it's not good now, you can't hit it out all at once, you still need to be steady, it doesn't matter if the iron can't be sold, the court still needs to keep some as preparation, after all, the output of our Datang was so low before, and now that the output is up, a lot of equipment that was lacking before needs to be made up, just this year, the military department may need to use more than 1 million catties of iron, and a lot of equipment needs to be replaced!" Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and said to Wei Hao.

"Yes, it will be soon, but, father, I can get the steel bar out for you, this thing, you don't look at it now, it's useless, you will know later, it is estimated that it is not enough to build 10 more furnaces like this, there are too many places where you need to use steel bars in the future, if you cooperate with cement, father, if you want to build the Great Wall, you don't need big stones!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin as he walked.

"The cement you are talking about, and the current steel bar, are so powerful?" When Li Shimin heard it, he stood up and turned to look at Wei Hao.

"Hehe, it's amazing what you can't imagine. Father, didn't I tell you to blow, if the walls of Chang'an City are rebuilt now, how long do you estimate it will take, and how many people? Wei Hao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Well, it is estimated that it will take about two years, and more than 100,000 people will need to be forced into labor." Li Shimin opened his mouth and said.

"Hehe, give me 20,000 people, and I'll fix it for you in three months!" Wei Hao said proudly again.

"How much time? Trimester? Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"Of course, and, to ensure that your current city wall is strong, you will know when the time comes, by the way, father, build the road, I suggest you still use cement, it is estimated that it is much stronger than the way you build the road now, and it is much faster, in addition, save money, definitely save money, when the cement I get out, you will see!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"Well, okay, my father wants to take a look, go, it's too sunny!" Li Shimin continued to walk forward as he spoke.

And Li Chengqian, who was next to him, heard it, rolled his eyes, and immediately said to Li Shimin: "Father, I think it is better to hand over the matter of road construction to Shen Yong, the people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, eh, they are too slow to do things!"

"Uncle, you can't be like this, I didn't offend you, how can you push me into the fire pit!" When Wei Hao heard this, his eyes widened, and he stared at Li Chengqian and said.

"Eh, brother-in-law, didn't I see that they were too slow? Although I haven't been to the iron mill, I have heard that if you are someone else, it will not be good to build in a few years! Li Chengqian immediately said to Wei Hao.

"Come less, I won't do it, uncle, my father will let you be responsible, you will come to pit me, but there is no such thing as you!" Wei Hao said directly to Li Chengqian,

When Li Chengqian heard this, he also laughed.

"Well, Gao Ming, you still need to be responsible, my father has thought about it for a long time, building the road is still very important to you, repair the road!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Yes, Father!" Li Chengqian immediately bowed his hand and said, and soon they arrived at the Lizheng Palace.

Li Lizhi is also there.

"Girl, did you miss me?" Wei Hao saw Li Lizhen, and immediately asked with a smile, Li Lizhen couldn't help rolling his eyes at him, and didn't look at the occasion when he said this.

"Hey, hey!" Wei Hao smiled, and when he entered the living room, Wei Hao saw the eldest grandson queen.

"Queen Mother, sons and daughters meet the Queen Mother!" Wei Hao immediately went over to salute the eldest grandson queen.

"Why is it dark again? Look, come and sit down and have tea! Empress Eldest Sun immediately said to Wei Hao.

"There's no way, I work in the construction site every day, and I'm still impeached!" Wei Hao sat there and complained.

"The queen mother knows, the queen mother is also angry, but there is no way, the court needs those officials, they say let them say, our family Hao'er is right, what are you afraid of?" Empress Eldest Sun sat there and said to Wei Hao.

"That's what I said, but I can't be angry!" Wei Hao sat there and said depressedly.

"It's okay, Hao'er, don't be like them, by the way, Hao'er, now that there is a drought in Chang'an, has your family been affected?" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It's okay, it's solved, I just sent the drawings of the water dragon to my father, and it is estimated that there is no big problem with the drought!" Wei Hao said with a smile to Empress Eldest Sun.

"This kid has made a water dragon, which is a wooden tool that can get the water in the river, and now I let the Ministry of Industry quickly make this, and it is estimated that it can save a lot of farmland, and it is not a big problem, and in other places, as long as there is water in the river, it is estimated that the problem is not big!" Li Shimin sat there and said to Empress Eldest Sun.

"Oh, Hao'er really has a way, the concubine said yesterday, I want to ask Hao'er, you see, Hao'er has a way, right?" When Empress Changsun heard Li Shimin say this, she was quite proud, she just believed in Wei Hao, and now that Wei Hao has really solved it, it is equivalent to winning glory for her.

"Yes, this kid still has a way!" Li Shimin also said with a wry smile, he didn't expect it.

"Well, Hao'er, after returning to Beijing this time, don't go out, rest for a few months, it's not good to be busy for half a year, the family's mansion still has to hurry up and build it, your house in Xicheng is too small, there are more guests at home, and there is no place to arrange it." Empress Eldest Sun continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Yes, I didn't do anything this time, or the queen mother felt sorry for me!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile and said,

Li Shimin heard it and looked at Wei Hao depressedly, this kid just said this on purpose, why does the queen mother feel sorry for him, doesn't she feel sorry for him? Still, these words cannot be said.

"By the way, the queen mother, there is a business, which is to make cement, now, I can't explain it to you, but it is very useful, and the money invested is not much, and it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of dollars of profit a year, I mean, if you want to come, you can account for fifty percent of the shares?" Wei Hao sat there and asked Empress Eldest Sun.

"Good!" The eldest grandson and queen nodded without thinking about it.

"Tens of thousands of dollars a year, forget it?" Li Shimin looked at Empress Eldest Sun and said.

"Eh, Your Majesty, you don't know this kid, he said that the profit of tens of thousands of yuan a year, that is according to the lowest profit, basically it will be multiplied several times, right, Hao'er!" Empress Eldest Sun asked Wei Hao with a smile.

"Hehe, I don't know yet, of course there are risks!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"How much does it cost?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

"Well, it costs about 5,000 yuan!" Wei Hao thought about it for a moment and spoke.

"Okay, I'll send someone to your house later, Hao'er has to do something, of course the queen mother supports it!" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Wei Hao heard it and said happily.

"Niangniang, the meal is ready, do you want to serve it?" A palace maid came over and asked the eldest grandson queen.

"Up, of course you have to go, Hao'er, let's go, let's eat, the queen mother has prepared a meal for you that you like." Empress Eldest Sun stood up, greeted Wei Hao and said,

Even Li Chengqian is a little jealous, this kid also likes his mother, he is better to him than himself, the key is trust, the queen mother trusts Wei Hao quite a lot, but for himself, no matter what he does, he is half-convinced, and he doesn't have the kind of trust he has in Wei Hao at all.

After the meal, Wei Hao and they just sat at the tea table and chatted, Wei Hao saw that the eldest grandson queen was tired, a little sleepy, it was estimated that she needed to take a nap, so she was ready to say goodbye first, the eldest grandson queen did not let it, saying that it was such a hot day, and she must not go out to sunburn, so let Wei Hao and Li Chengqian, Li Shimin sit here and drink tea, and go to rest for a while.

"What reward do you want this time?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"Reward?" Wei Hao looked up at Li Shimin in surprise and asked.

"Well, the iron workshop is done, and this time I also got a water dragon out, how could my father not reward you?" Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Forget it, father, can you let me beat Wei Zheng? I can't be angry, I know he is a capable person, but his impeachment of me is completely unreasonable, I can't be angry, I just want to beat him! Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said seriously.

"You, you rabbit cub, such a big credit, you use it to beat people?" Li Shimin was angry, pointed at Wei Hao and scolded.

"Is that okay?" Wei Hao also looked at him tentatively and asked.

"No, I'll tell you, rabbit cub, don't fight, besides, wait at home tomorrow morning, there is a holy decree coming, you don't make trouble for me!" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao and warned.

"Hehe, okay, I don't make a mess, I don't want to go out on such a hot day!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile and said, and stayed until the end of the day, when Wei Hao went back,

When he got home, Wei Hao just lay at home and didn't move, wanting to take a rest, Wei Furong didn't care about him, knowing that he was busy.

In the evening, when Wei Hao was eating in the living room, Wei Furong said: "Tomorrow you go to your father-in-law's house, go to the palace, don't go to your father-in-law's house, you can't say!" ”

"I know, I can't go tomorrow, by the way, don't go out tomorrow, there is a holy decree to come, it is estimated that there will be a reward!" Wei Hao nodded and said to Wei Furong.

"Oh, there's a bounty, because of what?" When Wei Furong heard this, he looked at Wei Hao happily and asked.

"Dad, I've been busy working outside for more than three months, don't you want a reward?" Wei Hao immediately looked up at Wei Furong and said dissatisfiedly.

"yes, okay, dad won't go out tomorrow!" Wei Furong said happily,

The next morning, Wei Hao got up and practiced martial arts, took a bath after practicing martial arts, and went to sleep after breakfast, on such a hot day, it was most comfortable to sleep in the morning, but not in the afternoon, it was too hot, but I could sleep. Wei Hao slept in a daze, so Wei Furong came over and pushed Wei Hao.

"Quick, get up, the Divine Decree is coming, get up!" Wei Furong happily pushed Wei Hao and shouted.

"Well, here it is?" Wei Hao did it, looked at his father in a daze and said.

"It's coming, it's almost noon, hurry up!" Wei Furong pushed Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao immediately put on his shoes and ran to the front yard.

At this moment, in the living room of the front yard, Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was drinking tea.

"I've seen Dou Shangshu!" Wei Hao said with a smile and clenched his fists.

"I've seen Xia Guogong, congratulations to Xia Guogong, as soon as this holy decree is announced, I don't know how many people will envy it!" Dou Lukuan said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Hehe, it's still troublesome for Dou Shangshu to go!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Well, then announce the holy decree first, is the incense case ready?" Dou Lukuan asked Wei Hao with a smile, and Wei Hao glanced at Wei Furong next to him.

"It's set, it's been set up a long time ago, it's outside!" Wei Furong immediately arched his hand and said.

"Then go ahead!" Dou Lukuan said with a smile,

Then Wei Hao and they knelt down, Dou Lukuan announced, at first those words were polite words, Wei Hao basically understood, and the back was the key.

“... Today, Wei Hao is added as the Duke of Yan Guo, 3,000 households, 1,000 households, 4,000 acres of fiefdom, 50,000 gold, and 100 horses of brocade silk..."

Wei Hao listened and listened, confused, what is the situation, he is the Duke of Xia Guo, and he also has a food and fiefdom, how can there be another Guogong, and the Duke of Xia Guogong was canceled before. When Wei Hao was in a daze there, Wei Furong was also in a daze, a little unincomprehensible.

After Dou Lu Kuan read Qin, Wei Hao also gave up his hand to thank Huang En, then took over the holy decree, and then looked at Dou Lu Kuan in a daze and said.

"That, I'm Yan Guogong now, so do those seals of Xia Guogong need to be handed over?" Wei Hao looked at Dou Lukuan and asked.

"Eh, didn't you hear me clearly? The special re-sealing is to deliberately crown you as the Duke of Yan Guo again, that is to say, you are now two Duke of Guo, and Datang has such an honor for you alone! If you don't want to say it, we want to congratulate you, Your Majesty attaches great importance to you! Dou Lukuan smiled at Wei Hao and said.

"Oh, two princes? This, this! Wei Hao was also shocked at the moment, he had never heard of the two princes.

"Two princes, my God, okay, Hao'er don't stand stupidly, hurry, hurry up and ask Dou Shangshu to sit in the living room, I'll arrange lunch, go quickly!" Wei Furong is also excited at the moment, his son has two national titles. "Eh, yes, please, please!" Wei Hao immediately smiled and said to Dou Lukuan.

"Well, then I'm welcome, you all know that your food is delicious, and the old man is also a person who loves to eat, so naturally he won't miss it!" Dou Lukuan touched his beard and said.

"Come over at any time, don't have a homely meal yet? Please inside, I'll make you tea! Wei Hao said to them with a smile, and after taking them to the living room, Wei Hao personally made tea for them.

And after Wei Hao added the title of Duke of Yan Guo again, it also made the whole often discussed, most of them were envious of Wei Hao, of course, there were also jealous people.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Changsun Chong was called into the study, looked at Changsun Wuji, who was sitting there gloomy, and asked.

"I know how to play, I've been back for two days, and I don't have a foothold at home, what's the matter, my wings are hard, and I don't want my home?" Eldest Sun Wuji stared at Eldest Sun Chong and shouted.

"Dad, I've been busy outside for three months, why don't I visit those friends when I come back?" Eldest Sun Chong also looked at Eldest Sun Wuji helplessly.

"Hmph, visit, visit, you don't know the person in charge of the Dare Iron Workshop, it is very likely that it is Fang Zhizhi, Wei Hao has a very high evaluation of Fang Zhizhi, you still have the heart to play, ah, what are you playing?" Eldest Sun Wuji stared at Eldest Sun Chong and scolded.

"Fang Zhizhi, oh, it's okay, he is indeed stronger than me, the others, Xiao Rui and Gao Cheng are about the same as me, but Fang Zhizhi is stronger than me, of course he is in charge, I am convinced!" When Changsun Chong heard this, he was also stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile.

"You, you, don't you know to go to the palace, talk to your aunt, and let your aunt talk to Wei Hao? If the old man hadn't thought about such a thing, it would not have been good to beg your aunt, he would have gone a long time ago, what about you, you went to beg your aunt, she wouldn't help you, you are his nephew! The eldest grandson Wuji shouted loudly.

"What's there to ask for this, the deputy is also a positive five products, it's okay, besides, I don't want to be embarrassed, this is based on ability, not on relationships, if it is another place, I will definitely ask for it, but the iron mill is not good, it is to be really capable!" Eldest Sun Chong immediately said to Eldest Sun Wuji.

"You, you're mad at the old man!" The eldest grandson Wuji pointed at the eldest grandson Chong, a little hated that iron could not become steel.

"Dad, it's okay, I'll be in charge sooner or later, the iron workshop is not another place, if the control is not good, something will happen, you don't understand the things inside, Wei Hao has taught us, but now we are also learning, eh, don't say anything else, just say the drawings, you can't understand it!" Eldest Sun Chong persuaded Eldest Sun Wuji and said.

"Do you think Wei Hao will teach you the real thing, and he didn't teach Fang Zhizhi alone?" Eldest Sun Wuji gritted his teeth and stared at Eldest Sun Chong and said.

"Dad, what do you mean? No? Dad, it's not right to think of people like that! Don't talk nonsense if you're not in the iron shop, what does it mean that you haven't taught us the truth, and what does it mean to teach it alone?

Let me tell you, Dad, there is no such thing, Wei Hao is busy, besides, when we study, we all study together, and then if there is a problem, we get the opportunity to ask! Besides, teach it alone, what are you kidding, he Wei Hao still has such time? Is he Wei Hao still such a person? Dad, Wei Hao, he's not such a person! Eldest Sun Chong said to Eldest Sun Wuji at this moment.

"You, you, you rabbit cub, have you forgotten about Li Lizhen, ah, have you forgotten, if it weren't for him, you would be Your Majesty's eldest son-in-law, and you still spoke for him!" The eldest grandson is not jealous, and he pointed at the eldest grandson Chong and scolded.
