Chapter 259

After Wei Hao came out of the Ganlu Palace, he went home directly, and when he got home, he lay down, it was very cool, and Wei Furong was busy outside for a day, those fields, Wei Furong needed to keep an eye on,

Now Wei Furong feels that he is very busy, he is too busy, there are too many industries in the family, and several sons-in-law come to help, they will have 200 acres of land, and they will be able to arrange it soon.

But Wei Hao is tens of thousands of acres of land, and this requires a lot of manpower.

At this moment, Wei Hao's eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, third brother-in-law and Wei Furong arrived at the house and prepared to have lunch.

"Is Hao'er back?" Wei Furong asked casually.

"I'm back, I'm resting in the small courtyard!" The butler replied immediately.

"What do you say, resting? What a rabbit cub, Lao Tzu has been busy without stopping, he has rested? When Wei Furong heard this, he stood up, twisted the stick and went to Wei Hao's courtyard.

"Quick, keep up, I'll hold my father-in-law later!" Cui Jin took a look, and hurriedly called the other two brothers-in-law to go together, Wei Hao's second brother-in-law Wang Qixian, and third brother-in-law Ye Chengfu also hurriedly followed,

When he arrived at Wei Hao's courtyard, Wei Furong went straight to the living room, pushed open the door, and found that Wei Hao was sleeping there and snoring.

"You bunny!" Wei Furong walked over quickly, Cui Jin and they also followed, they thought that Wei Furong was going to beat him like this, and wanted to stop Wei Furong, but he was still a step too slow.

Then they watched in amazement as Wei Furong stabbed Wei Hao with a stick.

"Bunny, bunny!" When Wei Furong stabbed Wei Hao with a stick, he still shouted Wei Hao!

"Who!" Wei Hao sat up very unhappily, and then saw Wei Furong's big face, and then saw the stick in Wei Furong's hand, and jumped up in fright and went down from the other side of the soft collapse.

"Dad, Dad, I haven't done anything, I haven't done anything recently!" Wei Hao stretched out his hand and motioned to Wei Furong not to beat himself first, listen to himself.

"You're embarrassed to say, you haven't done anything, your father and I, I can't take care of the busy food, you are still sleeping at home, the tens of thousands of acres of land at home, don't you care? Ah, the old man is in charge alone, you rabbit cub, those industries in the family will be lost by you sooner or later! Wei Furong said and chased after Wei Hao with a stick,

Wei Hao just ran along the soft collapse and didn't let Wei Furong hit him.

"Dad, speak with conscience, when did I lose my family, I got all the land back at home!" Wei Hao felt that wronged, this is unreasonable!

"Then you don't care, let him be deserted?" Wei Furong stood still, knowing that he couldn't catch up, and now that he was too big, he couldn't win.

"Dad, what's that, I'll go in the afternoon, I'll go in the afternoon, okay?" Wei Hao stood there and shouted at Wei Furong.

"Hmph, don't break your leg in the afternoon, you rabbit cub, you don't know where the family's field is now, how will you be in charge of the house in the future?" Wei Furong pointed at Wei Hao and scolded.

"Go, go, I'll definitely go in the afternoon!" Wei Hao hurriedly said, no, no, it's really too busy, so much land, the two of the top things in the family are their own father and son, and they can't be pushed to others to do.

"Hmph, if you eat, you will know how to sleep!" Wei Furong took the stick and left, and Cui Jin and the others hurriedly followed.

Now Wei Furong has a very big temper, and he will be scolded if he is not careful, and the servants in the family have been scolded a lot recently, but their sons-in-law have not been scolded, after all, they are sons-in-law, Wei Furong can still distinguish this clearly, those sons-in-law come to help, and he can still scold them.

By the time Wei Hao arrived in the living room, the food had already arrived.

"In the past few days, it's all up to your brothers-in-law, all of them have arrived, and they are busy with this matter every day, your youngest brother-in-law is still staring at Zhuangzi now, and he will send food to the past, those fields, those who should be ploughed will be ploughed, fortunately, there are a lot of cattle to buy recently, and the old man has bought more than 300 cows, which is enough, but it is still slow!" Wei Furong sat there, chattering at Wei Hao, and there was no theme.

"Well, thank you, brother-in-law, for your hard work!" Wei Hao immediately said to them.

"Why are you talking about this, the family is busy now, little brother, you are free, and you can also help your father-in-law share some of the things, there are some things that only you can do, we can't do it!" Cui Jin said to Wei Hao.

"Yes, yes, by the way, after a while, do you have time, do you have time to go with me to work outside, you can all write, work easily, a day's salary will not be less than 30 yuan, do you want to go?" Wei Hao asked at them.

"Such a high wage?" The three of them looked at Wei Hao in surprise.

"Of course!" Wei Hao said happily, he has the final say, 30 yuan, which is the uniform price for readers.

"Can it last long? How many months can you do? Wang Qixian also looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It's not about working for a few months, it's about how many years you want to do, but, let's do it first, it's not in Chang'an, I'll come back after a few months, and then I still have something for you to do, and you don't have to worry about making money, by the way, Dad, my brothers-in-law are helping you work, and you have to pay a little bit!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong as he spoke.

"Little brother, you can't do this, you are slapping your brother-in-law in the face like this, helping your father-in-law's family work, that's how it should be, besides, without you, we still want to gain a foothold in Chang'an City, and we still want to have such a thing, father-in-law, you can't listen to the little brother's nonsense!" Cui Jin hurriedly spoke, and the other two also nodded.

"The old man knows, and he still needs you to teach the old man to do things, hurry up and eat, and be busy after eating!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao smiled and nodded, it is estimated that Dad will have other places to compensate them,

After eating, Wei Hao went to his farmland, all of which were in patches, a considerable area, involving dozens of Zhuangzi, all of which belonged to Wei Hao's family, Wei Hao walked in the farmland, looked at those old farmers and frowned, this is too slow, right?

At their rate, it's not bad to be able to plow five points of land in a day!

"Why is it so slow, how many cows are there in our family?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong as he spoke.

"There are 700 cows in total!" Wei Furong also frowned and said.

"When will you plow the land? Really! Wei Hao said and walked towards the old farmer, wanting to see why he was so slow.

"Uncle, stop first!" Wei Hao opened his mouth and said, the old farmer didn't know Wei Hao, but he knew Wei Furong, who was the master of the family.

"This is my son! Wei Hao! Wei Furong spoke.

"Eh, Grandpa Guo, why did you still come to the field?" When the old farmer heard this, he was very surprised, they all knew Wei Hao, and knew that Wei Hao was Xia Guogong, but they had never seen it.

"Well, you pick up the plow and I'll take a look, at your speed, when will you finish plowing the land?" Wei Hao looked at the old farmer and said,

When the old farmer heard Wei Hao's words, he lifted the plow, Wei Hao squatted down and took a closer look, such a plow is not deep at all, and the front is designed to be traction, there is also a problem, the ox is not good to work hard!

"Well, that's it! Keep busy, that's not going to work! Wei Hao finished talking to him, and clapped his hands, thinking that it was time to let Qu Yuan plough out, otherwise his own land would not be finished at all.

"Grandpa Guo, don't worry, I will definitely be able to finish it, you see over there, my family is digging the ground, and I can dig seven or eight fields a day!" My family rented 40 acres of your land, and it is estimated that it will definitely be able to cultivate the land in a month, and it will not delay the farming time! The old man smiled at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao looked over as he spoke,

Sure enough, in the distance, there were more than a dozen people digging in the field, and even half-grown boys were working.

"Well, okay, I know! Let's get it! Wei Hao nodded, and then continued to watch those people work, although they rented the world of Wei Hao's family, but as the owner, they needed to provide all the farm tools, and there were more than 3,000 households to compensate them for some meat, and there were more than 3,000 households for Wei Hao's family to farm, of course, this also included Wei Hao's food estate, and these consumption were all amazing.

Wei Hao inspected for a while, said hello to Wei Furong, and said that he would go and get a better plow out, and it would definitely not work like this.

Wei Furong didn't force him, it's good to come, where does he understand this, just teach him slowly, before he leaves, just teach him, and now he can still do it, just do more, in fact, it's not to do manual work, it's to arrange things, everything has to make way for spring sowing.

Wei Hao returned to his house, began to design the curved plow, after it was done, he found the blacksmith at home to fight, and at the same time asked the carpenter at home to make a good shelf, almost an hour, Wei Hao got it done, and came to his farmland again with the soldiers.

"Why are you here again?" Wei Furong saw Wei Hao coming over and immediately asked.

"Dad, let's go, I've got a new plow for the people to try, if it works, our family will use such a plow in the future!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong,

Wei Furong also attached great importance to it when he heard it, and he also knew that his son had the ability to do good things, so he immediately called out to a farmer and told him to stop, Wei Hao went over to load the zigzag plow, and at the same time put the tripod on the neck of the ox, and then let the farmer start plowing the land.

"Hey, plough the land so deep and so fast?" The farmer looked at it, but it was amazing, the field was very deep, and it was fast.

"Yo ho, rabbit cub, you really have the ability!" Wei Furong knew at a glance that this was a good thing.

"Of course, it's much faster than yours, and the plough is deep, which is very helpful for those crops to grow roots, and even increase yields!" Wei Hao said proudly to Wei Furong,

Wei Furong also nodded, then continued to look at it for a while, opened it and said: "This plow is better, use this at home now, and produce it as quickly as possible, otherwise, you won't be busy!" ”

"Okay, I told the carpenters and blacksmiths at home to let them do this, anyway, it is estimated that they can make about twenty a day, and now it can only be like this!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong,

Wei Furong nodded, he also estimated in his heart, just this plow, a cow can plough more than 2 acres a day, so calculated, the speed is several times faster than before, according to the depth of ploughing, it is good for crops. The father and son stayed at the farm until it was dark and did not go back.

The next day, the family summoned more blacksmiths, all of whom were invited by Wei Furong, as well as carpenters, and asked them to make the quyuan plough as fast as possible, and after they were ready, they were immediately sent to the farm.

As for iron, Wei Furong went to buy it, no way, expensive to buy, you need to invest in those farmlands at home, sometimes, you need to invest, fortunately, there are a lot of them at home, the iron of the government is 100 wen a catty, but find those blacksmiths to buy, the price is almost 50 wen, and the amount can be cheap,

Wei Furong doesn't care if this is illegal or not, he will buy it if it is cheap, because there are too many needs at home.

"Dad, are you going to buy private iron?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong in surprise and said, he only learned when he heard the blacksmith at home.

"Well, what's wrong, I ordered 2,000 catties, 35 wen yuan a catty!" Wei Furong looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Dad, smuggling salt and iron, that's a capital crime, they have such guts?" Wei Hao still looked at Wei Furong in shock and said.

"What do you know? Do you know where that iron comes from? Do you really think it's from those blacksmiths, they have iron, but it's all given to them by customers, when they make it, how much is left, and it's those families who really make iron, understand? Wei Furong lowered his voice and said to Wei Hao.

"How could they have?" Wei Hao still looked at Wei Furong puzzled and asked.

"Of course they have, not to mention others, let's just say that those small families have them, and our Wei family also has them, but who is in control, I don't know, anyway, this matter, everyone does this, if they all go to the government to buy iron, who has so much money, of course, the government also has to buy some iron, otherwise it will be checked!" Wei Furong looked at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao nodded, wanting to continue to ask about this matter, so he asked, "It's so cheap, those people can also make money?" ”

"Of course they can make money, how much they spend in the government, 100 yuan, it is estimated that they will lose money, but for those families, they can still make a lot of money,

The old man heard that if you get it well, the cost of a pound of iron is about 20 yuan, and in spring and autumn it is the peak period when iron is needed, and many people will buy some, for example, if you have 100 yuan in your hand, do you go to buy the government or buy a private one? Everyone must buy private ones! Wei Furong continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Oh, the family has already achieved that the cost is about 20 yuan, which means that their technology is okay, why don't they provide it to the court?" Wei Hao continued to ask.

"It's not that you don't know the relationship between the family and Your Majesty, how can they give it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty actually knows, but there is no way, because the court does not have enough iron to sell, and the people need iron, what should I do? I can only turn a blind eye! Wei Furong sat there, looked at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao nodded, even if he knew what was going on, Li Shimin probably couldn't control it, after all, now the people need iron, and the court doesn't have it, so they can only figure out their own way,

And on the side of the family, after all, they have a lot of background, they must have a way to get iron, and in the next few days, Wei Hao is at home with Wei Furong staring at the matter of spring ploughing.

In addition, Wei Hao of the cotton field also had to tell those people to prepare, Wei Hao specially hired a few old farmers to keep an eye on it, specializing in weeding and fertilization.

As the weather warmed, Wei Hao also began to experiment in his yard and began to sow cotton, those seeds are very expensive, Wei Hao didn't dare to make them blind, they still need to experiment,

A few days later, Wei Hao saw that the cotton seeds had sprouted, so he began to take half of the cotton seeds to the farmland and let them sow them first.

The other half, Wei Hao wants to wait a few days to get it,

After finishing the cotton matter, Wei Hao began to hand over the house drawings he drew to his second brother-in-law!

"Oh my God, you're going to build a house like this, and you painted it yourself?" The second brother-in-law, Wang Qifu, asked Wei Hao in shock.

"Well, I painted it all by myself, brother-in-law, don't lose it, now you just let those people start digging the corners of the wall, and the other is to prepare enough bricks and tiles, and I have also prepared a budget here, and it will take about 1.2 million yuan to earn and 1 million tiles. You've got to buy these!

In addition, there is wood, here I also made statistics, size, length and quantity, all of them, you need to arrange someone to buy them, these I will hand over to you, how much money is needed, you ask Dad, in addition, I also let Dad that 1000 money reserve fund for you, that is, when you need to pay a small amount of money, you pay directly! Wei Hao said to Wang Qifu.

"Okay, I know, don't worry, the wood is easy to say, but it's this brick, and tile, brother, this is really not good, this needs to be bought through the court! Isn't this what I want to build a stable on the other side of the yard, to build three walls, it takes 5,000 bricks, the price of bricks is not cheap, a brick is a penny, a tile is a penny for four, and I can't buy it, so I have to queue up! Wang Qifu said embarrassed to Wei Hao.

"What, a brick is a penny, and you can't buy it?" Wei Hao heard it, looked at Wang Qifu in shock and asked.

"Yes!" Wang Qifu nodded.

"Then, there is no civil one? No one burns it in the folk? Bricks can't be controlled by the court, right? Wei Hao immediately looked at him and asked.

"Yes, the folk ones are more expensive, Gao Yicheng, they don't have as many people as the court, but if you want to get so many bricks, I estimate that you can hollow out all the output of those kiln factories around Chang'an City for half a year!" Wang Qifu stared at Wei Hao and said.

"And there is such a thing, is it difficult to fire bricks? Can it be more difficult to fire than ceramics? Wei Hao looked at Wang Qifu incomprehensibly and said.

"I don't know, anyway, so many bricks and tiles, it's really hard to buy!" Wang Qifu also said very distressed.
