Chapter 307

Gonggong Hong came over to remind Wei Hao, Wei Hao immediately understood, he didn't know what they were doing here, but now that he knows, Wei Hao naturally has considerations in his heart.

After practicing martial arts, Wei Hao sat in his small courtyard and drank tea, now the weather is a little cold in the morning and evening, but it is still very hot during the day.

"Childe, the patriarch and the patriarchs of several other families are here." The porter ran over and said to Wei Hao.

"Please ask them to come here, I don't want to move!" Wei Hao sat there and spoke.

He is the prince of the country, although he is going to greet him as a junior, but he can not accept it, his identity is here, and Wei Hao estimates that Li Shimin must have sent someone to stare at this side, and the attitude of what should be done still needs to be done.

Soon, Wei Yuanzhao and they came over, and 4 patriarchs came, Wei Yuanzhao, Du Ruqing, Cui Xian and Lu Zhenshan.

"If you miss the distance, please take a seat!" Wei Hao stood up with a smile and beckoned them to say.

"I know you're busy, and it's really sad to delay you for half a day!" Cui Xian said to Wei Hao.

"It's okay, come, sit down and talk!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile.

They sat down, and Wei Hao made them tea.

"I don't know what happened when you came to me?" After Wei Hao made them tea, he asked.

"Good thing, I heard that now in the entire Tang Dynasty, your family has such tea, and the profit is very high!" Cui Xian said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"I don't know, I didn't sell much!" Wei Hao shook his head and said.

"You don't sell, your dad doesn't sell less!" Wei Yuanzhao said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Ah, my dad took the tea out and sold it?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao in surprise.

"Well, many people are looking for your father to buy it, and even the old man has bought some!" Wei Yuanzhao said with a smile and touched his beard.

Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao with tears and laughter.

I really didn't expect that my father actually sold his own tea, but now that I think about it, it seems that he asked himself, saying that there are too many at home, can you sell some, Wei Hao waved his hand and said whatever, he really took it out and sold it.

"Okay, if you sell it, sell it, anyway, he has the final say, if he is in a bad mood, it is estimated that even I will sell it!" Wei Hao shook his head with a smile and said.

"Well, Wei Hao, a few of us came over this time, one is to come and walk around, thank you for giving us the business of the brick mill, this business is very good, we got a lot of money, and the other is, thinking about whether there is any other business to do, your mansion, there are a large number of people staring at it now, not only our family is staring, but many Guogong families are also staring, just thinking about when you will release those things!" Cui Xian looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"Business? My mansion? Wei Hao pretended to be confused and looked at Cui Xian.

"You don't know it yourself? It stands to reason that you should understand the value of those things. Cui Xian asked Wei Hao rhetorically.

"Oh, you say cement and lime?" Wei Hao nodded and spoke.

"There are also glazed tiles, this is the big head, those glazed tiles are very beautiful, no one doesn't like them, your house, the whole Dongcheng can be seen, those colored glazed tiles on the roof of your house, who doesn't like it?" Du Ruqing looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"Talking about business? Well, it's useless to talk to me, you should know that Your Majesty will not let you easily grasp so much wealth, I promised you, and I can't do it.

Besides, I'm really busy here. I don't have time to deal with those things now, my mansion must be built before winter, and now there is no problem outside, but now the interior decoration will take about half a month, so you come to me now, but it's useless! Wei Hao looked at them with a smile and said.

Cui Xian and the others nodded, they also knew that Wei Hao was very busy now, and they also knew that Li Shimin would not easily let them control those wealth, but they came here prepared this time.

"Shen Yong, we may need to delay you a little more today, I want to have a good chat with you, take care of the meal at noon, right?" Cui Hyun said as he touched his beard.

When Wei Hao heard it, he was stunned for a moment, and asked like this, he can still not eat in a Guogong family.

"That's what I'm saying, when will I come, my family will still have one less meal for you, okay, let's talk!" Wei Hao smiled and nodded and said.

"This time we really admit defeat, yesterday, we went to the school and the library, especially the library, and saw so many students in the library reading, copying books, the old man knows that the general trend is not human can change, so, this time we lost, lose convinced.

It would be too hypocritical to say that we don't have the heart to resist, yes, but now that we see this, all the resistance is useless, we can't say that we let the world mess up again, and we may not be able to mess up, now, we just want to let the family prosper.

What does it mean, as long as we ensure that there are two percent of our family's children in the court, we will let the rest out, and two percent of the children can also ensure that the family will not be annexed, in addition, we also want to reconcile with the royal family, and the royal family can intermarry in the future, and at the same time, the family's business royal can be shared, that is, we give up resistance! Cui Xian sat there, looked at Wei Hao and said.

Wei Hao looked at him in shock, this topic was too surprising to Wei Hao, they surrendered?

"This?" Wei Hao couldn't believe that what he heard was true at the moment, they actually surrendered? Who would dare to believe it? The heritage of the family is still there!

"Of course, it's not all about starting, it's just taking our time, we will also go to see Your Majesty in the next two days and discuss this matter with Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty is also happy to see us like this!" Du Ruqing spoke again.

"Well, if that's the case, this, what do you want me to say? I'm also a member of the Wei family, but wait a minute! Wei Hao felt that his mind was very confused, he didn't know whether what they said was true or false, after all, the news came so suddenly, and it was such a big thing.

"Ha, I know that you kid is difficult to understand, Shen Yong, in fact, we really lost, as soon as the paper came out, we lost, you said before, the general trend, no one can change, there will be more and more readers, this is for sure.

A few of us sat together, and we have discussed many times, how to preserve the strength and honor of our family, and even say that it is prosperous, only to take refuge in Your Majesty and admit defeat to Your Majesty, but we can't admit defeat at once, things definitely need to be done step by step, and now we are this idea! Wei Yuanzhao sat there and looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Well, what you said, I really don't know how to say it, what you asked me to say, I am also a child of the Wei family, of course, you have such thoughts, I don't know if it's a good thing, but I believe that it is a good thing for those students in the world!" Wei Hao said to them with a wry smile, and then made a gesture to them to ask for tea, and took a drink from his teacup.

They picked up their teacups and drank tea, and then Wei Hao refilled them with tea.

"The news was so sudden, I was completely unprepared, didn't I talk about business? Why did you talk about this matter? Wei Hao looked at them with a smile and asked.

"There's no way, you stand on Your Majesty's side, now Your Majesty controls the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the rest of the Ministry of Rites and Punishments, not to mention, now our family, in the court, has less and less right to speak, Your Majesty is obviously cleaning the children of our family, just to say, the action is not so violent, so that everyone is not so fierce.

You see now, the Ministry of Industry is not using people from our family to build roads, there are no schools and scholars, there is no Ministry of Civil Affairs, not to mention the Ministry of War, among the six departments, three of them do not have people from our family, maybe ten years later, among the six departments, the children of our family can only be in the most marginal position, Shen Yong, Your Majesty has always wanted to get rid of us, we know! Cui Xian sat there, looked at Wei Hao and said.

Wei Hao heard it and nodded, everyone knows this, but he won't say it in the open.

"Your patriarch regrets it very much, saying that he didn't pay attention to you at the beginning, if he paid attention to you, maybe it wouldn't be like this, but we can't blame your patriarch for this matter, you were an ordinary child in the family before, who would have thought that you could come out so quickly?

Don't say that they didn't think of it, that is, we didn't think of it, so say, Shen Yong, we will compromise, but Your Majesty also needs to give us some benefits, this time we are going to talk about this intermarriage, two things to do, one of which is that among the prince's concubines, you need to choose three from our family and fill them into the East Palace, and you also need to marry a flat wife.

In addition, Li Tai's princess must be the woman of our family, and other princes must also marry the women of our family, and those princesses of His Majesty need to marry one from each family. Cui Xian said to Wei Hao.

"What's that, you're talking about yours, why are you taking me with you? No kidding, I don't want it, I have two daughters-in-law, I can't have a third! When Wei Hao heard this, he immediately shouted at Cui Xian.

"That's not good, who doesn't know, you are the person Your Majesty values the most, there are rumors among the people, you are Your Majesty's favorite son-in-law, and, your ability, we know that if you don't marry the woman of our family, it won't work, and in the future, we will rely on you to take us to make money!" Choi Hyun said with a smile and touching his beard.

"Don't fool me, you go and tell Your Majesty to try, Your Majesty can bomb you out, what are you kidding?" Wei Hao shouted at them.

"No, this is just a negotiation, we are all willing to give up so many officials, in addition, there is another condition for negotiation, that is, you can take out your printing technology, so that we can show our sincerity, what is in your box, how powerful you are, if you release this, Your Majesty can promise us anything, do you believe it?" Cui Xian continued to smile at Wei Hao.

"Wei Hao, when the time comes, you will marry my granddaughter, the eldest granddaughter! You can go and inquire, you can also ask your patriarch, or even ask Li Siyuan, they all play together, and they have a good relationship, my granddaughter is as beautiful as a fairy, but she can't be wronged by Xia Guogong! Lu Zhenshan looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile.

"Come on, what are you doing, I tell you, don't give me a hurry, what the hell, can you still arrange my marriage? What are you kidding, you have to talk about it yourself, don't bring me, take me, don't think about any business in the future! Wei Hao immediately waved his hand at them and said.

"No, you said it yourself, your family has been passed down for five generations, and you don't need more women to continue the incense for the family?" Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"What are you kidding, my father promised me to marry 8 girls, and my father-in-law also promised me to marry 8, which adds up to 18, my father only has 5 women and gave birth to a son of mine, I don't believe it, I have 18 women, and I can't give birth to a son, don't get me those useless ones, if you want to talk, go and talk about your affairs, my side, absolutely not!" Wei Hao immediately waved his hand and said.

What are you kidding, and you still arrange a woman for yourself, don't you think the house is messy enough?

"If you don't marry the girl of our family, we won't worry!" Cui Xian looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"Damn, you just rely on a woman to maintain your own safety, is it realistic, it's good to get something useful, it's better to let some more benefits come out, in fact, you only account for 20% of the officials, and you won't suffer.

According to what I know, the population of our Datang is increasing rapidly, and each of our farmers now has five or six children, and they are still alive, and at this rate, the number of people in two generations will increase tenfold.

The population counted during the Wude period, it seems to be 16 million, 3 million households, and now I estimate that the population is more than 30 million, from the Wude period to the present, even if it is ten years, you calculate yourself, from the people around you, who has not increased the population a lot, my sister's family, basically now there are 2 children, and even three children are ready to give birth!

A large population, then there will be more officials needed, Chang'an County, but a large number of people have increased, from last year to now, it seems to have increased by almost 200,000, not counting your newly born population, if counted, it is estimated that 500,000 are there, Chang'an County must continue to improve the grade, and even have to be divided, otherwise there is a Chang'an County Order plus the county, I guess it can't be managed! Wei Hao sat there and said to them.

"Yes, there are 30 million people, it may be more than that, it should be more than that!" Cui Xian sat there and spoke.

"Not only that, in the past ten years, the population of our family has tripled, and all of them are newborn children!" Lu Zhenshan said.

"Yes, our family is similar, and when you get married, you think, you kid eighteen women, this, it can be multiplied several times in three or five years!" Wei Yuanzhao nodded and said to Wei Hao.

"Therefore, give up your official position, hide in the back, control the wealth, and those wealth need to be kept in a secret place, which can also ensure the prosperity of the family, if you still want to control the court, it will be enough, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince, you will definitely not be allowed to do this!" Wei Hao sat there and spoke.

"Well, hidden riches!" A few of them heard it and nodded.

However, they have other ideas, what they just said, Wei Hao has not heard clearly, that is, Li Tai's princess, she needs to marry a woman from their family, this Wei Hao just ignored, the purpose of their coming here is actually this.

"As for the business, if you can convince Your Majesty, I don't care, of course, our Wei family must take advantage of it, I am a child of the Wei family, rice and white noodles are busy now, I haven't done it, if you want to get it, I will definitely pull our Wei family, as for whether you can buy shares, I don't know about this!" Wei Hao sat there, looked at them and said.

They nodded, and Wei Yuanzhao was very happy in his heart.

"Convince Your Majesty that we are definitely going to go, but the premise is that you have to agree, and now that you have agreed, we are relieved, Your Majesty, we will go and say!" Cui Xian also said very happily.

He was just worried that Wei Hao wouldn't take them to play.

"Let's make it clear, if you really surrender, I will release the printing technique, and when the time comes, I can bring you into the shares, I believe Your Majesty will agree, but you have no management power, printing this is very special!" Wei Hao said to them.

"Why is that?" Cui Xian looked at Wei Hao with a little understanding, and had no right to manage.

"You also know that printing can not only print books, but also other things, and Your Majesty can put this thing in the hands of others?" Wei Hao looked at them and asked.

They heard it and nodded, and as soon as Wei Hao said this, they knew what it meant.

Then Wei Hao and the others continued to chat.

On Li Shimin's side, Li Shimin received the news that those people had gone to Wei Hao's mansion very early and had not come out for more than an hour, and they heard that they were going to eat at Wei Hao's house.

"Your Majesty. Do you want to send someone to Wei Hao's mansion to have a look? Gonggong Hong stood there, lowered his head and said, also testing Li Shimin's trust in Wei Hao.

"Send someone? Who to send? Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, looked at Gonggong Hong and asked.

"I don't know about this little one, what if Wei Hao and the family get too close?" Gonggong Hong said this deliberately.

"It's okay, he won't, I just don't understand it, what's the need to talk about this for a long time? Does business take so long? Chat, this rabbit cub never chats with me, what do you have to talk to them? Li Shimin sat there and said very puzzled.

"Well, Your Majesty, just send someone to investigate!" Gonggong Hong still spoke.

"No, this kid is estimated to come over in the afternoon." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, still believing in Wei Hao in his heart.
