Chapter 364 Money is Poison

Chapter 364

Wei Hao sat on the county side and was very irritable, this matter, if it can't be solved, it will leave a lot of troubles, although Wei Hao can completely ignore it and hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but once something happens later, there will be a crisis on the court's side, this is what Wei Hao doesn't want to see,

Wei Hao sat in the county government and thought about it for I don't know how long, at this time, one of Wei Hao's family soldiers came over and said to Wei Hao: "Son, the government sent someone to invite you over for dinner!" ”

"Oh, okay, I got it!" Wei Hao only woke up from his contemplation at this moment, and then stood up, the soldier also gave Wei Hao the things he was carrying, including the Tang knife that Wei Hao was carrying.

Out of the county office, Wei Hao sighed, and then rode to the mansion of Li Jing, the acting prince, and when Wei Hao just got off the horse, he found Li Jing waiting for him at the door.

"Father-in-law, why are you still waiting outside?" Wei Hao dismounted and said to Li Jing with a smile.

"Well, there are a lot of guests in the house today, I think you know it, so the old man came out to talk to you first, what about you, you don't need to worry about me, what should you say, how to say? The old man shoots as a right servant, such a thing, the old man can't help but come out, but it's just coming out, whether it can be done or not, the old man doesn't have hope! Li Jing whispered to Wei Hao.

"Thank you, father-in-law!" When Wei Hao heard him say this, he was also relieved, and said to Li Jing, he was also worried that Li Jing would also put pressure on him when the time came, so he would be depressed.

Soon Wei Hao arrived at the living room on Li Jing's mansion, and the people in the living room were all those who were in the Ganlu Hall today.

"Shen Yong, come, sit here!" Fang Xuanling saw Wei Hao coming, and quickly stood up and greeted Wei Hao with a smile.

"You sit, I'll just sit casually, feel free, here, I'm also half a master!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile.

"Come on, come on, you're welcome, let's come over today, what do we want to talk about, you know, this matter, we really need to convince you, if you don't agree, we have no choice." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Yes, Xia Guogong, this matter still needs your nod, if you don't nod, there is no way to do it, Niangniang's side has agreed, it's up to you!" Dai Xuan also looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Uh-huh!" Wei Hao heard it, smiled bitterly, and then sat down.

"Come, tea!" Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was making tea and poured a cup of tea for Wei Hao.

"Thank you, what I want to say is that this matter is not as simple as you think, it is easy to hand it over to you, hand it over to you, whether you can do a good job in these workshops later, and also, in the future, whether the Ministry of Civil Affairs will interfere with the people's workshops is a question, I hope you will be cautious, saying that it is handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in fact, in the end, no one is responsible, and everyone wants to be responsible, and then, the workshop will be rectified by you!" Wei Hao sat there, looked at them with a sigh and said.

"Shen Yong, are you serious?" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao, smiled and said, laughing and still not believing what Wei Hao said.

"Fang servant, let me ask you, if I hand it over to you, then you know that other workshops will make money, will you also ask for shares, besides, those workshops made by craftsmen now are not the materials urgently needed by the court, since they are not the materials urgently needed by the court, then why do you want to invest in the court, the court, you can't just stare at the money!" Wei Hao sat there, staring at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"No, just to say, if this batch of workshops is handed over to the royal family, it will definitely not work, if it is handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can rest assured, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will not interfere with what to do, nor will it interfere too much with the operation of the workshop, the workshop is still up to you, everything, you have the final say!" Fang Xuanling immediately said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, I'm a little relieved when you say that, but what I want to ask is, if the workshop loses money, will you hold anyone responsible, and will you pay for it to make up for the loss?" Wei Hao continued to look at them and asked.

"Well, we want to hear what you mean, what do you say? Say your opinion and we will consider. Fang Xuanling was very smart and kicked the question to Wei Hao, hoping that Wei Hao could express his opinion, so that they could also discuss, they didn't know about the workshop, and it was wiser to listen to Wei Hao.

"If you lose money, you need to pay for it. Of course, you don't have to pay all the time, if you lose more than 50% of the money you have earned in previous years, you can close the workshop! Wei Hao looked at them and said, this is also what he considered at the county government in the afternoon, if he really can't escape this problem, then he needs to get more suitable conditions for those workshops.

"Okay, listen to you! What do you say? Fang Xuanling looked at the other ministers as he spoke, and when they heard it, they nodded and agreed.

"Well, besides, how do you give status to those craftsmen? They are now considered officials in the Ministry of Industry, but their salary is very low, of course, they have shares in the workshop, but what about their grade, do they belong to the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Civil Affairs? The craftsman is now from the Ministry of Industry, but the workshop is from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so you can't, you don't care about either department, right? So, what if the craftsmen have a problem? Wei Hao sat there and threw out this critical question, and Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, looked at the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"This, this matter still needs to be considered!" Dai Xuan looked at Wei Hao at the moment and said.

"Okay, you can think about it, and if those craftsmen belong to the Ministry of Works, is it appropriate for them to take such a small salary? How much value did they create for the court? With such a little money, will they have a balance in their hearts?

In addition, if they are transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how will those craftsmen be transferred, what department will they be transferred to, and how will their grades be determined? Wei Hao sat there and continued to ask those people,

Fang Xuanling and they were all dumbfounded at the moment, they just wanted to control those workshops, hoping that the court could increase their income, but they didn't expect that there would be so many things behind.

"You were thinking about controlling those shares before, but you didn't think about what the consequences of controlling those shares would be, if it was given to the royal family, then these things were not things, they were cooperating with the royal family, it was a cooperation between private individuals, but now you want to buy shares, and you want to be the same as the iron mill and the salt side, then, the treatment of those craftsmen, you need to think about it,

Please also think about it clearly, this matter is not a simple matter, it involves hundreds of craftsmen, as well as the entire craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, if those craftsmen are not convinced, whether those workshops can be established is a problem! Wei Hao sat there and continued to speak, and those ministers were also thinking about what Wei Hao said.

After Wei Hao finished speaking, he didn't say anything, let them think about it for themselves, and what they said was clear enough.

"Shen Yong, what do you mean?" Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while, and felt very confused, so he wanted to ask Wei Hao what he meant.

"I don't dare to express my meaning about this, I said, you still think I am embarrassed for you, how to solve it, you come to think about it, I don't publish it, I will convey your meaning to those craftsmen, let those craftsmen consider,

In addition, there is another thing, if you want to buy shares in those workshops, please prepare money, this money, is a lot, the money earned by the workshop before must have nothing to do with you, and now that people have come out, then those shares are sold to your Ministry of Civil Affairs, and your Ministry of Civil Affairs needs to pay for it.

If it is sold to a private person, there is no problem with a share worth 10,000 yuan, and now I ask you for 5,000 yuan, and you want 50% of the shares, then a workshop needs 25,000 yuan, and now there are 42 workshops, so it needs 1 million yuan, does the Ministry of Civil Affairs have so much money now? Wei Hao sat there, looked at them and asked.

"What, so much money?" Fang Xuanling heard it and looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"Is it expensive? If you don't believe it, 5,000 yuan is a share, put it outside, and you go and see how many people will buy it at that time! Even you all want to buy it, right? And the family's side, I have been talking to me for a long time, and I am willing to pay this price, and now I will give you a five-percent discount for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and you still dislike the expensive, so it's a little unreasonable, right? Wei Hao looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"No, that's not right, is it? The royal family paid 50,000 yuan before! Fang Xuanling continued to look at Wei Hao and said.

"That's right. The royal family paid 50,000 yuan, and they accounted for 50% of the shares, that is to say, the 1 million yuan, we need to hand it over to the royal family, and the remaining 500,000 yuan is shared between me and those craftsmen, of course, you can also let the royal family not want the 500,000 yuan, but the 500,000 yuan of me and the craftsman, but it is needed.

Don't think there are a lot, there are hundreds of people here, divide up, there are really not many, I take 2 percent at most, 300,000 yuan, to those craftsmen, a person is only less than 1000 yuan, not much, right? Wei Hao looked at Fang Xuanling and said.

"This!" Fang Xuanling and they were all dumbfounded at the moment, they didn't expect that there were so many problems.

"You guys have to think about these things, think about it clearly, and then come and talk to me!" Wei Hao sat there and said very calmly, those ministers also found out that Wei Hao is very different today from before, and Wei Hao today is very calm and not angry like before.

"Shen Yong, those issues you mentioned, tomorrow I will be anxious to discuss with the ministers above the fifth grade, and then send a letter to Your Majesty to see if Your Majesty can approve it, now it has involved the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Officials, and the treatment and promotion of those officials cannot be bypassed the Ministry of Officials!" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao nodded and did not speak.

Fang Xuanling sat there and thought about it for a while, then looked at Wei Hao and asked, "You are very opposed to this matter in your heart?" ”

"What do you say, the advantages you see now, five years later, you will see the disadvantages, this disadvantage, very serious, not good, well, there will be something, big thing!" Wei Hao sat there and said coldly to them.

"Big deal?" Fang Xuanling stared at Wei Hao and asked in disbelief.

"Competing with the people for profit was originally a taboo in the court, and you are fighting so much now, the taboo of the taboo! When the time comes, all the workshops in the world will be collected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which will be a disaster for Datang! Wei Hao sat there and said with a sigh.

"Impossible, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will not easily close the workshop!" Fang Xuanling said.

"Fang servant shooting, you are now servant shooting, five years later, you are still not servant shooting, ten years later? Once the Ministry of Civil Affairs collects the workshop, there will be money, and this money is poison, and those people in the back, once they find that the workshop is not profitable, will find a way to get other workshops, and they must ensure that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has so much money every year.

When the time comes, those officials can only go outside to get other workshops, the world's workshops, all the Ministry of People's Affairs, to the back, all the world's money-making businesses, all in the Ministry of People's Affairs, in the end, rich Ministry, rich officials, poor people in the world, this day will not be far away, at most 20 years, I believe that many people here can see!

Because, the status of the industry and commerce in your hearts is too low, and their wealth is the wealth of the court for you, and you can take it if you want to, and those people can't resist at all. Wei Hao sat there, still very disheartened.

"Shen Yong, no, it's not that serious, don't worry, besides, if you're in the court, you will also prevent this from happening, right?" Fang Xuanling immediately persuaded Wei Hao and said, although he didn't believe Wei Hao's words, he was still a little convinced, knowing that Wei Hao's long-term vision was still accurate!

"I, haha, is it possible? His Majesty is willing to hand over those workshops to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so the ministers all agree, and if I oppose it alone, who will listen to me? I said too much, they still think I have selfish intentions, and they are dissatisfied with you saying that if I don't give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I am ready to attract investment, that is, let people from all over the world buy the shares of these workshops.

For example, if you have 1,000 yuan, you can unite 10 people, raise 10,000 yuan, and buy a 10,000 yuan share of a workshop, and at the end of the year, for example, this workshop will share 10,000 yuan, then, you will take 1,000 yuan, I would rather do this, because in this way, these wealth is in the hands of the people, not in the hands of the court.

And when you have money, you will also buy good things, so that the more good things you need, the more taxes the Ministry of Civil Affairs will receive, and the people of the world will be richer. Wei Hao sat there, staring at them and said.

"This?" Fang Xuanling and the others heard it, and they all looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"However, I guess my father will not agree, after all, the profits in this are too great, and Your Majesty is not willing to accept it!" Wei Hao sat there and said with a wry smile, and those people sat there thinking about Wei Hao's words, and then went to eat, those ministers couldn't eat at all, and Wei Hao didn't eat much.

After eating, Wei Hao returned to his mansion,

And Fang Xuanling was summoned to the Ganlu Palace, and Fang Xuanling also said Wei Hao's words to Li Shimin as they were,

When Li Shimin heard it, he was very shocked, and walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.

Even if Fang Xuanling is gone, Li Shimin still thinks about what Wei Hao said, especially for Wei Hao, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will collect all the workshops in the world in the future, and the people will be miserable, and if the people of the world are allowed to buy those shares, then the people in the world will have money, and the people will buy more and better things, and the court will also receive more taxes, in addition, not competing with the people for profit, it is also Wei Hao mentioned several times,

After Li Shimin tossed and turned all night, he couldn't sleep, and after waking up the next day, Li Shimin said to Wang De: "You send someone to Shen Yong's mansion and let Shen Yong come to the palace, and say that I want to see him, and I want to see him now." ”

"Yes!" When Wang De heard it, he immediately sent someone out, and now the palace gate has not been opened. Then Li Shimin went to the conservatory, eating breakfast, thinking about what Wei Hao said,

Unconsciously, the sun in the east had risen and shone in the sun room, and Li Shimin sat there and began to boil water to make tea.

After a while, Wei Hao came over.

"Father, is there something urgent?" After Wei Hao came in, he asked Li Shimin.

"It's not urgent, it's just, um, have you eaten it?" Li Shimin thought of this, so he asked first.

"No, no, I just finished practicing martial arts, washed and done, and I didn't have time to eat yet, so I came over!" Wei Hao stood there and said.

"Sit down, sit down and say, go, get some food, get more, buns or dumplings!" Li Shimin said to a eunuch beside him.

"Yes!" The eunuch also went out.

"Shen Yong, those words you said yesterday in your father-in-law's mansion, Fang Xuanling came to look for me, after I heard it, I didn't sleep all night, I couldn't sleep, my father knows, you kid, I hope that the Tang Dynasty will be strong, since you oppose handing it over to the Ministry of People, it must be right, after all, you don't lack this money, you give it to anyone, you can't give it to the Ministry of People, naturally there is a reason why you can't give it, this father believes you!" Li Shimin sat there and said to Wei Hao.

"Father Xie, father, you are to the point, the sons are really not short of money, besides, the shares are given to whomever they are given, but they can be given to the royal family, they can be given to any family, but they can't be given to the court, the court is an institution that manages the affairs of the world, not an institution that makes money, and collecting taxes is not making money.

And if the court ends up in person, then, will the world's workshops still have a way to live? Now they will definitely not end up, but, father, money is poison, once they get used to the Ministry of Civil Affairs has so much money, if one day it is less, they will go to the first way to get more money, then it can only be a lot of workshop owners unlucky, father, this matter, the retainers have no selfish intentions, you know, at the beginning, the retainers were ready to give fifty percent to the royal family! Wei Hao heard Li Shimin say, and said to Li Shimin with a little emotion,

When Li Shimin heard Wei Hao say this, he also patted Wei Haocai's shoulder again and again, saying that he knew his mind and reassured Wei Hao.
