Chapter 241

Wei Hao said to let Li Shimin go to build the road, Li Shimin heard it, and asked Wei Hao very suspiciously, the road is really so bad.

"Wouldn't you see for yourself? I can still lie to you, you don't trust people too much! Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin unhappily and said.

"Bunny!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao fiercely, and only this kid dared to say this in front of him, but he didn't know Wei Hao, when such words came out of his mouth, he was a little angry on the spot, and he forgot about it later.

"Here, accompany my father to have a look!" Li Shimin stood up as he spoke.

"What?" Wei Hao was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Shimin.

"Take me to take a look, there's nothing going on anyway!" Li Shimin stood there, stretched out his hands, and said, "Change your clothes, change into ordinary people's clothes!" ”

"You're fine, I have something, I'm going to see my mother, the old man, and Liqing!" Wei Hao shouted at Li Shimin very loudly.

"They won't run away again, go, go with my father!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.

"Okay, just go, if it weren't for the people, I wouldn't go with you!" Wei Hao said helplessly, thinking in his heart that if Li Shimin went to see it, he would also be able to benefit the people, so it was better to go.

Soon, the group left the palace and went to the outside of Chang'an City, Wei Hao thought about it for a while, and asked people to inform Wei Cong and Cui Cheng. When they arrived outside Xicheng, Li Shimin stood on the edge of the road outside Xicheng, looking at those roads, and he was also worried.

"Look, this is Chang'an, other cities, I don't know what they look like!" Wei Hao stood there, smiled and said, Li Shimin felt that he was laughing at himself.

"Father, it's not that I said you, you said that you are the emperor, what you have to do is to make the people of the world rich, make it convenient for the people of the world, this thing of getting rich, it takes time, it is convenient for this thing, that is what needs to be done all the time, you see, how long has this road not been repaired, it has to be more than ten or twenty years, right?" Wei Hao continued to smile and looked at Li Shimin and said.

"I haven't repaired it since the end of the Sui Dynasty, eh!" Li Shimin looked at the road and sighed, such a bad road, I really dare not think.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an County Ling and Chang'an County Cheng are here!" A guard came to Li Shimin and said.

"Let them come!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice,

Soon, Wei Cong and Cui Cheng came over, Wei Cong was shocked, before Wei Hao asked him to repair the road, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would come to see it now.

"Why hasn't this road been repaired? Look for yourself, how bad the road is, how can the people walk, as an official who manages Chang'an, Wei Hao turns a blind eye to this road? Li Shimin stared at Wei Cong and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not that we don't repair, it's that we don't have money, we just planned to repair it this year, because there is still some money this year, but it's winter now, and there's no way to do it, Your Majesty, after the beginning of spring, we will start to build roads!" Wei Cong immediately arched his hand and said.

"How much money do you have in the county government now?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"There is still 800 yuan, Chen thought, when the time comes, repair a few roads out of the city, it is estimated that each road can be repaired for about 10 miles, too much, we can't afford to repair it, there is really not so much money!" Wei Cong immediately said that after listening to Wei Hao's words, he personally went to the outside of the four city gates to see it, and also walked along those roads.

"It's not bad to be able to build ten miles of land!" Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Wei Hao and said, "Hao'er, you say, if you want to repair, how should you repair it?" ”

"Spending money to ask the people to repair, not to ask the people to serve labor, there is nothing wrong with the people serving labor, but if you ask the people to repair, the people have a little money in their hands, they will buy more things, and the court will be able to receive more taxes at that time, and at the same time, the people will be able to get rich!" Wei Hao stood there and spoke.

"Can the people become rich?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao a little incomprehensibly.

"Well, you think, the people are farming now, it is just enough for their own family's life, if they come to work and have an extra salary, then they will think about whether they need to buy some things that the family needs, or send their children to study, or buy some industries, no matter what they do, they are indirectly paying taxes, so that the court also has money!

At the same time, when they buy something, they also make those who sell it money, so that a cycle is formed, a virtuous circle! Wei Hao stood there and spoke.

"That's going to cost a lot of money!" Li Shimin stood there with his hands behind his back and said.

"Well, then build the main trade road, such as the road from Chang'an to the northwest, this is the main road used by Hu merchants, and it is also the main road used by my Tang army, the road is repaired, and the army marches fast.

In other words, from Chang'an to Luoyang, from Luoyang to the land of Qilu, this is also the main business route, there are many people walking, and the money needs to be spent on the blade, so that the most people can benefit, and at the same time, the strategic layout of the court should also be considered. Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Strategic layout?" Li Shimin continued to stare at Wei Hao and said.

"Well, for example, build the road from Chang'an to the northwest, this road is not only for merchants, but also for mobilizing the army to the northwest at the fastest speed, such as from Chang'an to the land of Qilu, this road is the granary of Datang, in this way, when the Datang front needs food, it can use the fastest speed to mobilize food!" Wei Hao stood there and said to Wei Hao.

"Well, that makes sense!" Li Shimin nodded at Wei Hao and said.

"You two, you are responsible for repairing the roads in Chang'an County, how much does it cost, write an excerpt, remember, you don't need to labor, you ask the people to work!" Li Shimin said to Wei Cong.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" As soon as the two of them heard this, they immediately arched their hands and said.

"Hao'er!" Li Shimin then shouted at Wei Hao.

"Erchen is here!" Wei Hao immediately arched his hand and said.

"Write an excerpt, write out your main ideas for building roads, I want to see it, and hand it over to the court to discuss, and strive to build one this year!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Ah, do you want to write an excerpt?" When Wei Hao heard it, he looked at Li Shimin in embarrassment, and Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao fiercely.

"Write, write, really, it's so troublesome, I would have said I didn't know anything!" Wei Hao immediately surrendered and said.

"Wei Cong, you clan brother, that's too lazy, but considering things is still very comprehensive, if you don't understand anything about road construction, just ask your clan brother!" Li Shimin said to Wei Cong.

"Yes, Lord Wei is indeed extraordinary!" Wei Cong immediately nodded and said.

"Okay, you guys also go back, we also go back to the palace, Hao'er, go, go directly to the harem, I have already informed your mother, and we will have dinner at the Lizheng Palace at noon." Li Shimin said and walked inside with his hands behind his back,

Wei Hao followed helplessly, and Wei Cong and Cui Cheng also stood there respectfully, watching the two of them leave.

"Tut-tut, look at my brother, it's amazing!" Wei Cong said very enviously.

"Well, now it's okay, you have the money to build roads, how to write the excerpt, it's still up to you!" Cui Cheng nodded and said to Wei Cong.

"Well, I'm going to ask Lord Wei is, otherwise, I can't write, do you know how much it costs?" Wei Cong looked at Cui Cheng and said, Cui Cheng was stunned for a moment.

"It's not okay to have more, it's not okay to have less, so this matter, I still have to ask the lord, he knows how to get it, Wei Hao asked me to repair the road a few years ago, and I paid attention to it, I didn't expect that he could let His Majesty build the road so quickly, really, I can't imagine it!" Wei Cong sat there and said with great emotion.

"Well, then let's go back, you can visit Wei Mansion when you have time, you have to be fast, it will be eighteen in a few days, and then Wei Hao will be crowned, and there will be many family members." Cui Cheng said to Wei Cong,

Wei Cong nodded, of course he knew that Wei Hao was going to be crowned, during this time, the women who married out of Wei Hao's family came back so much, can he not know?

On Li Shimin's side, Li Shimin thought of it, and asked Wei Hao what to do with the money in the Ganlu Hall in the morning, Wei Hao said about road repair and education, and now he understands the matter of road construction, but Wei Hao has not said anything about education.

"Hao'er, you said about building roads, and this father is in favor of it, but how to deal with this education matter?" Li Shimin rode on his horse and asked Wei Hao.

"It's very simple, it's to let more people in the world read, I don't need to say this, right?" Wei Hao was also sitting on the horse, looking at Li Shimin puzzled and asked.

"What you say is simple, how to educate, there are no books!" Li Shimin said with a sigh.

"The library is the largest library, Your Majesty, you can build more houses outside the library, empty ones, keep them for backup, or even give them to those who want to study, for example, isn't the school recruiting 300 people,

However, students can still sit in on the audit, and, hey, if they need to take a more academic test, those who are auditing can also do it.

At the same time, it is necessary to do it, paper and pen and ink can be used as long as their families can support them to observe in this way, and when the time comes, they can also select outstanding students from among those students who are auditing, and in addition, they can also participate in the imperial examination! As long as you get a letter of recommendation from the gentlemen! Wei Hao smiled and said,

The imperial examination in the early Tang Dynasty was different from the later generations, and the later generations were examined from the lower level to the top, and the scientific examination in the early Tang Dynasty was divided into two kinds, one was to directly participate in the Shangshu Provincial Selection Examination from those schools run by the court, and the other was not a student of the Blood Pavilion, who participated in the examination in their continent, and after passing, sent to Shangshu Province to take the exam,

Moreover, those who take the exam not only look at the test results, but also have the recommendation of various people. Therefore, candidates have rushed to the door of the secretary of state and presented their masterpieces to them, which is called submitting papers.

Moreover, the scientific examination of the Tang Dynasty was divided into regular subjects and system subjects, the regular department is once a year, generally held in spring, also called spring, and the other is the system department, which was temporarily ordered by the emperor.

"Well, is that okay?" Li Shimin heard it, sat down on the horse and thought about it.

"Of course, we don't stick to one pattern to reduce talents, as long as it is talent, we want it!" Wei Hao said affirmatively.

"Eclectic talents, good, good, this sentence is good, okay, but Hao'er, my father found out, it's right to let you manage the affairs of the school, you kid, understand!" Li Shimin heard Wei Hao say this, and said very happily.

"I don't know anything, I'm just fooling!" Wei Hao immediately waved his hand and said.

"You kid is just lazy, how can you say that people can be so lazy, it's not like words!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao didn't speak, he didn't want to speak, who was he lazy with?

Soon, Wei Hao and the others arrived at the palace and arrived at the Lizheng Palace.

"Queen Mother, I'm here!" Wei Hao entered the small courtyard and shouted loudly.

"Come in, this kid, why is it so long?" Empress Eldest Sun's voice came out from within.

"My father is running around with me!" Wei Hao immediately shouted complaining, Li Shimin heard it in front, and his teeth itched. Entering the living room of the Ganlu Palace, he found that Li Chengqian and his wife were also there.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" Wei Hao immediately clenched his fists and said, while Li Lizhi on the side was playing with Li Zhi.

"Hey, girl, what have you been busy with lately?" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhen and smiled.

"What can you be busy with, porcelain matters, you are really lazy! For so long, I didn't go to the porcelain workshop. Li Li glanced at Wei Hao and spoke.

"Isn't that busy?" Wei Hao immediately said helplessly.

"What are you busy with, you haven't come to the queen mother for a while, you are angry with your father, but it has nothing to do with the queen mother!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Those women who are busy picking up my family and marrying out, hey, I go to the Shili Pavilion every day to wait for someone, and I am a backup at home, who do you say I won't pick up?" Wei Hao sat down with a sigh and spoke.

"Also, it's going to be crowned, it's a good thing, after being crowned, you can do things for the court, by the way, the queen mother made you two clothes here, and I will send them to you when the time comes." Empress Eldest Sun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Queen Mother, don't be so troublesome, the family will do it, you are very tired with those children, and you are still worried about my affairs!" When Wei Hao heard this, he immediately persuaded Empress Eldest Sun to say.

"It's nothing, it's okay now, they can also play cards, they have palace maids watching, they don't need to worry about this palace!" Empress Eldest Sun immediately said with a smile.

"Well, Gao Ming, how do you plan to spend the money in your storehouse?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian at this moment and asked.

"Huh?" When Li Chengqian heard this, he was really shocked, and he asked all kinds of questions in his heart.

"There are almost 20,000 yuan in your treasury, this money, it's a lot, I originally wanted to take it back, but Wei Hao has a different opinion, he said, as the prince, you need money to spend, you can do a lot of things if you have money, my father sat down to ask you what your plans are for this money!" Li Shimin continued to say to Li Chengqian,

And Empress Eldest Sun was also very shocked, she didn't know about this matter, how could the prince have so much money.

"Father, the emperor, the son hasn't thought about this yet!" Li Chengqian said stubbornly, now he also knows that Li Shimin will not take back his money, this still depends on Wei Hao's help, but now he asks himself how to spend money, he must be for those officials who follow him, and he buys those people himself, but he needs money.

"Father, look at what you asked!" Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin with disdain, and when Li Shimin heard it, he turned his head to look at Wei Hao.

"It's only been a few days since the money arrived in his hands, if it were me, I would definitely need to count a few days, after I made money, I sat in the warehouse and watched it for a long time, I have never seen so much money, so don't take a good look!" Wei Hao immediately said Li Shimin.

"Hey, hey!" Li Chengqian suddenly laughed.

"Look, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have done this!" When Wei Hao heard this, he immediately looked at Li Chengqian and said.

"No, don't slander Lonely, Lone just goes to see if there is anything missing!" Li Chengqian immediately retorted.

"Look, I'll just say, don't ask him how to spend it now, let's talk about it later, now he is willing not to spend a penny. People who have just made money don't want to spend a penny. Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin and said.

"You guys!" Li Shimin looked at them helplessly at the moment, and he also believed Wei Hao's words in his heart, otherwise, Li Chengqian would not have said that he would go to see it every day, so he also reflected on himself, whether he was too harsh on Li Chengqian.

"Well, Gao Ming, you keep this money for yourself, don't know how to buy those extravagant things, but you need to spend the money in key places!" Li Shimin continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Uncle, don't listen to his nonsense, you should buy it, he doesn't understand!" Wei Hao immediately said to Li Chengqian.

"No, why don't I understand?" Li Shimin is very angry, this kid has been scolding himself for a day today.

"You've got money, and you wouldn't want to buy good stuff? Is that a normal person? Buy what you should buy, but don't buy them all, just buy what you like, and when you buy more, you will find that this is the case, you can buy it or not, whether you have it or not, slowly, you won't buy it, I don't understand, I don't want to improve my life if I have money, I want to do something else, there is something wrong with my head? Wei Hao immediately sat there and said to Li Chengqian.

"Well, that makes sense!" Li Chengqian nodded and said, while Li Shimin was thinking about it there.

"Okay, Gao Ming, you need to understand what your father means, as a prince, you must know that thrift is the right thing to do, not just enjoy a luxurious life, this is not good, and your wealth is not your personal, it is the people of the world!" Empress Eldest Sun sat there and spoke.

"Well, Queen Mother, you are this!" Wei Hao nodded immediately, and at the same time gave a thumbs up to Empress Eldest Sun,

Li Shimin saw it and was stunned for a moment, he also said such things, this kid not only didn't praise himself, but also scolded himself, this kid has such a big opinion of himself, what his mother says is right, and what he says is wrong?
