Chapter 286

Empress Changsun said that she wanted to repair the palace, and as soon as Li Shimin heard it, she knew her purpose, it was nothing more than to support Wei Hao, but it should also be repaired, besides, their impeachment like this is indeed a bit insulting to Wei Hao, so he nodded and said: "Okay, repair it, it's time to repair it, I haven't repaired it for many years, I want to repair it!" ”

"Well, in addition, there are many places in the beautiful princess's mansion that are built of adobe bricks, and now Wei Hao's mansion is all green bricks, and the beautiful mansion can't be too shabby, and the meaning of the concubine is also to replace it with green bricks, Your Majesty, you see!" Empress Eldest Sun continued,

Li Shimin continued to nod in agreement, indeed, there were not so many green bricks before, so adobe bricks were used, and now that there are green bricks, adobe bricks should not be used, otherwise, Wei Hao will say that he is stingy, which is very important.

"Well, all of them are replaced with green bricks, fortunately there is no decoration now, if it is decorated, it will be difficult to get it, I will summon the Minister of Industry and let them rebuild it!"

"In addition, the concubines have an idea, that is, don't they dislike Wei Hao for spending a lot of money to build an iron workshop? Now it only costs a total of 190,000 yuan, and our royal family has paid 100,000 yuan, and the concubine means that our royal family has paid 100,000 yuan again, and this iron mill belongs to our royal family.

Of course, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry need iron, we supply it for free, and we supply as much as we need, but the people need iron, and our royal side is still responsible, since they impeached Wei Hao like this, the concubines were a little dissatisfied, and they knew that this was the case, this iron mill, our royal family had the final idea! Empress Eldest Sun continued to say to Li Shimin.

"This doesn't work, this doesn't work. Those ministers will definitely oppose it, this is related to the court, they will not agree to hand it over to the internal treasury! When Li Shimin heard this, he hurriedly said to Empress Changsun,

This is a bit of a big game, like this, those officials in the court will all oppose it, especially those officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they will definitely not agree, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, as well as the Zhongshu Province, they will not agree, this is money-making, they all know it, and now it is handed over to the royal family, can it work? The ministers also sent all the pieces to them.

"I don't agree, the concubine also needs to fight for it, since they impeached Hao'er and said that they would convey benefits, the concubine doesn't worry about this, so this matter, it's better for the concubine to come." Empress Changsun continued.

"No, if it's royal, how can the officials arrange it, the person in charge of the iron workshop, it's from the fourth grade!" Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun.

"It's okay, the concubine believes that Hao'er will definitely cultivate, we will send the children of the Li family to take over, the children of the Li family dare not be presumptuous in front of Wei Hao, the concubines are still very clear about this!" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.

"If this doesn't work, don't say it again!" Li Shimin immediately said that this matter is too involved.

"If it doesn't work out, the concubines also have to let Xiaogong them fight for it, since those ministers don't look down on it, then give us the royal family, and our royal family is not without money!" Empress Changsun opened her mouth and said, Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun helplessly, she must fight for Wei Hao for this breath.

"Well, not anyway!" Li Shimin said helplessly,

Empress Changsun actually didn't expect to succeed, she just wanted to let those ministers know that Wei Hao was not something they could impeach casually, bullying his son-in-law like this, his father didn't help him, and he still had his mother!

In the afternoon, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, and Li Yuanjing arrived at the harem, and Empress Changsun told them what she thought.

"Mother, this, but you can't get it, right?" Li Xiaogong looked at Empress Eldest Sun and said very carefully.

"It doesn't matter if you can get it or not, since they impeach Hao'er like this, then the palace will definitely not let it, Hao'er is tired and tired outside, and their ministers over there not only praise Hao'er, but also impeach Hao'er, this tone, the palace can't help it, why do they do this?

Also, after you arrive at the court, you have to speak for Hao'er, something that doesn't make sense, saying that Wei Hao conveys benefits, do you believe it? Empress Eldest Sun sat there, looked at them and asked,

The three of them immediately shook their heads, what are you kidding, Wei Hao is still short of this money?

"So, those ministers, blind impeachment, know that they hinder Hao'er from doing things, and don't want Hao'er to make meritorious contributions, they look down on Hao'er in their hearts, saying that Hao'er doesn't learn and has no skills, but they have a stomach full of so-called economic wealth, and they haven't seen them do anything?

You need to fight for this matter, that is, to fight, we have money now, it's no problem to make more money, even if the court needs us to compensate 200,000, we will do it, you have to believe Hao'er, the iron mill, it must be a lot of money, they people, what do you know! Empress Eldest Sun sat there and said to the three of them.

"Yes, Niangniang, don't worry, we will definitely fight for it!" Li Daozong also immediately said.

"Xiaogong, now Cha Weihao, have you found out anything?" Empress Eldest Sun then looked at Li Xiaogong and asked.

"How can it be found out that things come out, they are all normal purchases, and there is no business at all in the brick mill, if the minister wants to buy a little brick, he has to discuss with a few of them, otherwise, he can't buy it, now there are a large number of carriages queuing up every day, and every day out of the bricks, they will be quickly pulled away!" Li Xiaogong immediately said that his own family also has a share,

But if you want to buy bricks, you have to discuss with them, but they are also happy to see this, the brick mill has a lot of profits a day, every month, several of them bring a lot of money back, so that they are now also arrogant, of course, they don't dare to compare with Wei Hao, this kid is very rich.

"Well, the royal family also needs to be repaired, and the palace will let the people from the Ministry of Industry calculate how many bricks and tiles are needed in the past two days, and then buy them all at the brick mill!" Empress Changsun was also very happy to hear him say this, Chang'an's brick mill royal family did not have a share,

But in the brick mills in other places, the royal family is a shareholder, and now the crown princess is managing this matter, after all, Liqin is also too busy.

"Okay, you have to defend Wei Hao, Wei Hao has done a lot for our royal family, and it is inconvenient for Your Majesty to defend Wei Hao openly many times, so you can only rely on you!" Empress Eldest Sun continued to speak to them.

"Yes, please rest assured, you can still let Hao'er be wronged, they don't protect it, we protect it!" Li Xiaogong hurriedly arched his hand and said, and Empress Eldest Sun also nodded,

Soon they were out.

"Don't say it, if you can get an iron workshop, our royal family will have another income, this year's royal children are much better, if there is one more iron workshop, it is estimated that it will be better!" Li Yuanjing said to the two of them.

"Don't even think about it. His Majesty will not agree. Are you kidding? Such a big profit was handed over to our royal family, and it was a matter related to the three departments of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so they could easily agree? Li Xiaogong put his hands behind his back and shook his head with a wry smile.

"That being said, if they continue to impeach Wei Hao, we will do it, and we must let them know that it is okay to provoke Wei Hao, Wei Hao is the royal family behind him!" Li Daozong also said with his hands behind his back, and the two of them also nodded,

The next day, Wei Zheng continued to ask Li Xiaogong about Wei Hao, Li Xiaogong was also angry, and he asked Wei Zheng a series of questions, that is, to gather one sentence, is Wei Hao a person who is poor in money? Isn't it good to build an iron mill like this? Why keep asking?

Then Li Xiaogong made a mistake and asked His Majesty to hand over the iron mill to the royal management.

As soon as these words fell, those ministers were all dumbfounded, and Dai Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, immediately stood up and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this matter is not allowed, iron is an important material of the court, and it cannot be handed over to the royal management, and the royal management of other things can be, but the matter of salt and iron is absolutely not!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks so, the matter of salt and iron can only be handed over to the court for management, and it is supposed to be managed by the Ministry of Industry!" Duan Lun also immediately said.

"What is the management of the Ministry of Industry, this is the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Dai Xuan immediately stared at Duan Lun dissatisfied, what are you kidding, the profits of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year from the iron mill can still be given to the Ministry of Industry.

"Your Majesty, iron is mainly used by the Ministry of Industry, so it is best to hand it over to the Ministry of Industry for management, and the Ministry of War needs to use iron, which is also from the Ministry of Industry, so it is most appropriate for the Iron Mill to be handed over to the Ministry of Industry!" Duan Lun continued to say to Li Shimin.

"No, the money is from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, why should it be handed over to the Ministry of Industry?" Dai Xuan is in a hurry, this is not a terrible thing, this is a big entry.

"Don't fight, the money is out of our royal family, you paid 150,000 yuan, our royal family will give you the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the iron mill will be handed over to us to manage, anyway, now you don't look down on Wei Hao, impeach Wei Hao, say that Wei Hao built a blue brick house to convey benefits, what are you kidding? In this case, then our royal family will bear the expenses of the iron workshop, and you don't have to fight for this matter! Li Daozong also stood up and said to them.

"No, Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, I think, impeachment is impeachment, but this is a matter involving three departments, so it can't be handed over to the royal family!" Fang Xuanling also stood up immediately, arched his hand and said,

Whether it is for the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is all from Shangshu Province, and when the court has no money, it can be dispatched from it, but if it is handed over to the royal family, then if you want to mobilize their money, you will not agree so much.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be thought through!" Li Jing also stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"I said Senior Brother Yao, Wei Hao is your son-in-law, your son-in-law was bullied, you didn't react, since they don't look down on you and your son-in-law, our royal family can look down on it, this iron workshop, just hand it over to our royal family, so as not to be so troublesome!" Li Xiaogong immediately said to Li Jing,

Li Jing heard it, that depressed, Li Shimin is still his father, why don't you say Li Shimin? Still, he said; "On the merits, it is indeed wrong to impeach Wei Hao, but it is also wrong to hand over the iron mill to the royal family, and it is necessary to ask Your Majesty to call the shots!"

"Your Majesty, Wei Hao was bullied by them, they also said that Wei Hao conveyed benefits, since they don't believe in Wei Hao, our royal family believes that this money is out of our royal family, so as not to impeach those ministers, wouldn't it be better?" Li Xiaogong continued to say to Li Shimin,

And Wei Zheng is staring at Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong with a black face at the moment, the two princes have gone down in person, so it means the end of the royal family, it means the end of the eldest grandson, and they are going to support Wei Hao.

"Your Majesty, as far as matters are concerned, no matter what Wei Hao does, as long as the Supervision Yuan finds it out, it will be fine, but this iron workshop still needs to be handed over to the royal family!" Wei Zheng also stood up at this moment and said.

"Damn, you've got to say the good and the bad!" Cheng Yanjin took a sip next to him at this moment.

When Wei Zheng heard it, he turned his head and stared at Cheng Yanjin fiercely, and Cheng Yanjin also stared at him, his eyebrows squeezed, provoking Wei Zheng.

"Your Majesty, the iron mill is related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty, and it needs to be handed over to Shangshu Province, as for whether it is for the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the Ministry of Industry, it is a matter of the six ministries, but it is not possible to give it to the royal family!" Wei Zheng continued to say to Li Shimin.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter again, now the royal side also wants the iron workshop, I will think about it again!" Li Shimin sat there, deliberately thought about it and said, in fact, it must not be given to the royal family, and Li Shimin can still distinguish this clearly.

"This, Your Majesty, you don't need to think about it at this time!"

"Alright, go down!" Li Shimin stood up at this moment and announced that he would not discuss this matter anymore.

Those ministers are also dumbfounded, according to the current inference, then Li Shimin has an idea to hand over to the royal family, that is not good!

After Li Shimin left, the officials of the six departments, except for Li Daozong, all went to Fang Xuanling and Li Jing.

"This matter, but it takes two servants to shoot and His Majesty to say, you can't give it to the royal family, this is related to the safety of the court, how much iron is needed on the side of the military department, and you still need to think about whether the royal application can be made at that time, so it's too nonsense, right?" An official looked at Fang Xuanling and the two of them said.

"Yes, the impeachment matter, we didn't participate in the six ministries, this has nothing to do with our six ministries, it was those people who impeached, it's better to fall on us? It's not fair, right? Besides, we also believe that Wei Hao will definitely not convey benefits, this matter still asks the two of you to fight for it from His Majesty's side, otherwise, it will really be assigned to the royal family, and it will be a huge blow to our six departments! Dai Xuan was also anxious to say to the two of them at the moment.

"Okay, we know, we will talk to Your Majesty, now you still do your own thing, the iron mill can't be assigned to the royal family, we know this!" Fang Xuanling also said to them helplessly,

Now that things have come to this, they are also helpless, and they don't know what happened to Wei Zheng and them? How do you know to hold on to Wei Hao? This is completely unreasonable.

And Wei Zheng is also angry, the royal move is tantamount to roasting himself on the fire, the day before yesterday he quarreled with Wei Hao, which made him lose face, and now the royal family is also involved, obviously accusing himself of being wrong.

"Well, the old man doesn't believe it, and he can't find Wei Hao's slightest bit of horseback?" Wei Zheng gritted his teeth at this moment and said,

In fact, he and Wei Hao have no hatred, just because Li Shimin ignored his impeachment, which made him hate Wei Hao.

Now he is a Wei Hao, or a newly promoted Guogong, and he can't win the first confrontation with him, so how can he mix in the court in the future, to put it bluntly, it's a matter of face.

And on Wei Hao's side, Wei Hao didn't care, Wei Hao began to put 150,000 iron into the steelmaking furnace, and he was going to put it, but the other furnaces have not yet come out, and after they come out, they can't be sent over immediately, so Wei Hao just made 150,000 catties of steel!

After starting to burn the furnace, Wei Hao is the substance that decarbonizes and desulfurizes the inside according to the proportion, and the temperature inside the furnace is also extremely high, Wei Hao has been staring at the furnace, after all, whether it can become steel or not also needs to be verified.

After five days of steelmaking, Wei Hao let out a little molten steel to let him cool down, and then waited for him to cool down a little, then poured water on it, and then handed it to the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, let them see what the difference was with iron, those craftsmen took the iron block, and also began to burn it in the furnace of iron, and finally verified that this iron block melted at a higher temperature than iron, and it was extremely difficult to forge, and they didn't know what Wei Hao was doing with this.

"So, this should be steel!" Wei Hao is also holding the piece of steel at the moment, and the other irons are beaten, and now there is no way to verify how much carbon is contained in this piece of iron, it can only be said that with experience, for the sake of insurance, Wei Hao still waits for the furnace to burn for a day.

The next day, Wei Hao began to push the equipment to the side of the furnace, and a huge piece of iron was loaded with a gourd, and then began to release molten steel, after the molten steel was squeezed and cooled, several steel bars were formed immediately.

"What's the use of this?" Fang Yizhi stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"It is of great help to build houses, especially for building roads and military fortresses!" Wei Hao looked at the rebars and said.

"How does this work? Wouldn't it be better to use an iron plate? Eldest Sun Chong also didn't understand, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, there is another material to be matched, by the way, whether you have money or not. If you have money to buy shares, 300 yuan per person, we will get cement, and the profit will definitely be very high at that time! Wei Hao smiled at them and asked,

As soon as they heard about the business, their eyes immediately lit up, the business of the brick mill before, the eldest grandson Chong did not participate in them, and they were depressed, but now Wei Hao said that he would do business.

"Is 300 yuan enough, or 600 yuan, no problem! I'm going to ask my dad for it! Eldest Sun Chong stared at Wei Hao excitedly at this moment and asked.
