Chapter 405

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Shimin say this, he didn't want to investigate, but if he directly said that he didn't investigate, it would definitely not work, and he still needed to recommend people.

And Li Shimin was displeased when he heard him recommend Wei Hao to go, he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji still wanted to pit Wei Hao, but there was no expression on his face.

"Auxiliary, be cautious, it's not appropriate?" Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's only proper for him to go, if I let the pharmacist be the deputy general and go to patrol the border, I will have a better effect." The eldest grandson Wuji immediately said to Li Shimin,

After Li Shimin heard it, he didn't make a sound, and the eldest grandson Wuji thought that he was waiting for his explanation, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, do you think, the pharmacist is familiar with the army, there are old departments in various places, they go to investigate, the danger is less, and the other thing is that Wei Hao, as your son-in-law, he can also go to patrol the border, just say, and let Shen Yong know the affairs of the army in advance, wouldn't it be better?" ”

"Well, it's not proper, how can the pharmacist be subservient to Wei Hao, Wei Hao is also the pharmacist's son-in-law, it's not appropriate for you to suggest this!" Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"Then let them do the opposite, or let the pharmacist investigate, it's okay!" Eldest Sun Wuji said immediately.

"That's not appropriate, so why should you be cautious? It's better to let the pharmacist go directly, but you also know the age of the pharmacist, plus he has been very low-key in the past few years, and he doesn't want to do such a thing. Li Shimin shook his head and stared at the eldest grandson Wuji,

At this moment, Changsun Wuji's scalp is numb, he doesn't want to go very much, although he doesn't know how deep the water is, but no matter how deep it is, it involves tens of thousands of dollars, and it also involves the army, those Qiu Ba, but they will kill people, once they don't pay attention to it, they will use the knife, this is not what they want to see.

"Auxiliary, what are you worried about, you can say it together." Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, the expression on his face was already a little displeased,

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Shimin's expression, and felt a sigh in his heart, knowing that he had just refused, which made Li Shimin dissatisfied, if he continued to find reasons for himself, he didn't know what would happen when the time came, thinking of this, he hurriedly said to Li Shimin: "Since Your Majesty trusts the minister so much, it is incumbent on the minister, please rest assured, the minister will definitely investigate this matter clearly!" ”

"Okay, I know, at a critical time, you can still rely on the auxiliary machine, it just so happens that you have been here in the capital for the past few years, and it is good to go to the border this time!" Li Shimin saw the eldest grandson Wuji nodding, and also nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Yes, does Your Majesty have any other orders? When is the best time to go? Which general is the deputy? The eldest grandson Wuji knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only bite the bullet.

Then Li Shimin told him how to do this, and when to leave, etc., and after chatting, the eldest grandson Wuji came out of the study, and outside, there were still many ministers, wanting to wait for Li Shimin to summon them, they saw that the eldest grandson Wuji had been in Li Shimin's study for so long, they were very envious, and they also knew that His Majesty still trusted the eldest grandson Wuji the most.

"Qi Guogong, I don't know if Your Majesty is still busy now?" Hou Junji saw him come out at this moment, and immediately asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Oh, don't be busy, you ask the prince to see, the old man still has some things to deal with, so let's leave first!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately looked at Hou Junji with a smile and said, and then arched his hand to the other ministers and said, those ministers also immediately returned the salute, and the eldest grandson Wuji walked outside,

After arriving at the house, the eldest grandson Wuji sat in the study, his heart was very chaotic at the moment, he knew that he was going to investigate, and he didn't know how many people he was going to offend, and even those people and dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry, and they would take their own lives, and even said that the lives of their children, those who dared to do such a thing, were all outlaws, they knew very well that once they were investigated, they would be beheaded all over the house, in this case, it was better to fight.

"Who the hell is it? His Majesty said, don't talk to the officials of the Ministry of War, is this matter very related to the Ministry of War? The eldest grandson Wuji sat there, looking up at the floor upstairs, thinking about it.

"The Ministry of War has a relationship, and if you go to other countries, such a line, without the participation of the family, you don't believe it if you kill yourself, and only they can master such a line!" The eldest grandson Wuji then thought about it, and then thought: "If it is related to the Ministry of War, and related to the family, should I leak the news to them in advance, if I give them the news in advance, then they will definitely be grateful to themselves, and they will be able to benefit at that time, but how to give Li Shimin an errand is also a problem,"

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji was very irritable. The eldest grandson Wuji sat in the study and stayed until the evening, but he really couldn't think of a way to do both.

"Dad, Dad, Lu Guogong is here!" At this moment, the second son, Sun Lian, knocked lightly at the door of the study and spoke.

"Oh, please!" The eldest grandson Wuji heard it, stood up, and then prepared to go to the door to greet him, when he opened the door of the study, he found that Hou Junji had already entered the mansion.

"Hou Shangshu's visit to the cold house is far away!" The eldest grandson Wuji said very politely to Hou Junji.

"Qi Guogong, you are too polite, are you welcome me to come?" Hou Junji was stunned for a moment when he saw him so polite, and immediately said to the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.

"How can it? Please sit in the living and dining room! The eldest grandson Wuji immediately made a gesture to the living room, he didn't dare to take Hou Junji to the study, once Li Shimin knew, the investigation would not go well, and he didn't leak the news, it is estimated that Li Shimin would not believe it, so he could only ask Hou Junji to sit in the living room.

"This, Qi Guogong, I have something important, I want to discuss it with you, or let's find a quiet place?" Hou Junji didn't expect the eldest grandson Wuji to invite him to the living room.

"Well, why don't you go to the wings!" The eldest grandson Wuji thought about it for a while, but he still didn't dare to take him to the study, so he could only take him to the side room, Hou Junji was very surprised, he was a prince, he couldn't go to the study in the front yard of the eldest grandson Wuji to sit, and let himself sit in the wing, is this looking down on himself?

However, he didn't dare to attack, he knew very well that he couldn't afford to offend the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Come, tea, please! There is no tea table in the wing, so you can only drink it from a cup! After the eldest grandson Wuji and others brought the teacup, he said to Hou Junji.

Hou Junji looked at the eldest grandson Wuji suspiciously, he felt that the eldest grandson Wuji was a little abnormal, completely abnormal, how could he be so external to himself, he was also a scholar, and he was also a national prince.

"Brother Auxiliary, is there something wrong with you? How do I feel that you are so unfamiliar to me today? Hou Junji couldn't help it, and immediately looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

"Oh, you misunderstood, really not, it's just that the study, it's indeed a little inconvenient, inconvenient, please forgive me!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately snorted and said.

"Ah, it's inconvenient, are you still hiding in the golden house in the study? Haha, brother auxiliary, so interested! Hou Junji immediately quipped.

"No, no!" The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand again and again and said, what are you kidding, but he doesn't want Hou Junji to stay in his house all the time.

"I don't know what Hou Shangshu is looking for the old man, what is the matter, you just tell it!" The eldest grandson Wuji stared at Hou Junji and asked. Hou Junji took a look at the eldest grandson Wuji, and strengthened his judgment, the eldest grandson Wuji must have something to do.

"Brother Auxiliary Machine, if you have something inconvenient to say, you can hint at it, and the little brother will help you do it!" Hou Junji looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in a low voice and said.

"No, that, eh, I won't tell you, I'm in trouble, and I can't tell you now, so don't see outside, if there's anything on your side, you just say it, I can help here, I will definitely help." The eldest grandson Wuji can only lie and get things over.

"Got into a problem? What's wrong, lack of money? If you are short of money, you look for me, although I am not as good as Wei Shenyong's hairy boy, but I still have some savings in my hands, if you need it, I will transfer it to you! Hou Junji immediately said to the eldest grandson Wuji with an enthusiastic face.

"Oh, it's really not, tell me about you." The eldest grandson Wuji was already a little impatient, and Hou Junji didn't say anything until now, what is the matter with finding himself?

"This, yes, that's the case, Chong'er is not in the iron mill, I want to buy 100,000 catties of pig iron, I don't know if Brother Auxiliary Machine, can I ask Chong'er to help with this?" Hou Junji stared at the eldest grandson Wuji and said in a low voice.

"What?" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he was even more surprised in his heart, His Majesty had just let himself investigate the sale of steel abroad without permission, and now Hou Junji was going to buy 100,000 catties of pig iron.

"Buy 100,000 catties of pig iron, isn't this my nephew in the iron mill? I heard that the power is still very large, and it is a deputy, so I want to find my eldest nephew and get some pig iron! Hou Junji continued to laugh and speak.

"No, Hou Shangshu, what do you want so much pig iron for, and you don't have so much land in your house, right? Don't you have other ideas? Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but ask, those iron can be used to make weapons and armor, Hou Junji was originally a general, and he was also the secretary of the military department, and Changsun Wuji didn't dare to continue to think about it.

"Brother Fuji, look at what you said, what else can I think, I am dissatisfied with what you said, pig iron on the market is very scarce, ordinary people can't buy it, and some businessmen want to transport it to the south to sell, in the south, a pound can be sold for an extra 3 yuan, pull a cart over, and you can also earn some, so, didn't I come to you for help?" Hou Junji immediately smiled and explained to the eldest grandson Wuji,

Where would the eldest grandson Wuji believe it, if it was before, he would definitely believe it, but now, he won't believe it if he is killed, Hou Junji is thinking about the profit of the three cents.

"I said, why are you still thinking about the profit of 300 yuan, this, it doesn't match your identity?" The eldest grandson Wuji stared at Hou Junji and asked.

"Hey, 300 yuan, it's still less? Our annual income is only about 1,000 yuan, we are not Wei Hao, Wei Hao, this kid, is indeed able to make money, I don't know how many people are in the family now, and Li Jing's mansion, Cheng Biting Jin's mansion and Wei Chi Jingde's mansion also have a lot of money.

But Wei Hao is not with us at all, there is no way, we can only find a way to make a little money, otherwise, the children in the family, but it takes a lot of money, your eldest grandson is in the house, and there are many children, so you don't worry? Hou Junji sat there and asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

"This, eh, it's useless to worry, they have their own way to live, and the old man has also prepared 100 acres of land for each of them, and the rest is up to them!" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he was also a little worried, but he didn't show it.

"Brother Fuji, you just prepared such a little for them, do you know how much land Cheng Yanjin prepared for his sons? Now it's 500 acres per person, I estimate, it will increase in the future, Brother Auxiliary Machine, don't you want to wait for when, we are gone, those children in our family are still suffering, and such as Wei Chi Jingde and others, their children have thousands of dollars in their waists and thousands of acres of fertile land, right? Hou Junji looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in a low voice and said.

"This! No, although they also have some shares in the workshop now, it won't be like that, right? The eldest grandson Wuji hesitated for a moment, looked at Hou Junji and asked.

"No, hey, Brother Fuji, you're in the East Palace, and you don't know what's going on outside, do you know? Now, the profit of the brick mill in a month will exceed 10,000 yuan, and when it comes to Cheng Biting Jin, it is a few hundred yuan, how much do you calculate in a year?

In the past few years, do you say that the gap between us and them is even bigger, Brother Fuji, I have no choice, anyway, sell to those merchants, as long as we have iron, they want, each time we can exchange it for a few hundred dollars, it is also good, anyway, those merchants are buying, we just get the iron out of the iron mill. Hou Junji said to the eldest grandson Wuji,

But the eldest grandson Wuji didn't believe it at all, he didn't believe what Hou Junji said, he believed that there was definitely more than just the profit of three cents, and there were many sons of Hou Junji's family, and there were more concubines, and he didn't know how many things he had prepared for his sons now, but thinking about it, some time ago, Wei Hao scolded him at the gate of the Ganlu Palace, saying that his son was on the side of the painting boat every day, and the cost was very large, which showed that Hou Junji's family had a lot of money.

"I said you, listen to my advice, it's best not to do such a thing, you are the secretary of the military department, don't worry about Your Majesty finding out about it?" The eldest grandson Wuji cautiously reminded Hou Junji and said.

"Your Majesty? What is he looking for? Iron is sold in the people, and the price is higher than the price of the government, you don't know, in various places, the people can't buy iron at all in the government, they all need to buy it through the merchants, you think, those local officials, they don't get money,

Brother Auxiliary, I didn't do anything, I got the iron from the iron mill, that is, it was transferred to those merchants, I won't lose a penny of the money to buy iron, how can Your Majesty check me? Hou Junji said to the eldest grandson Wuji with a smug face.

"But, have you ever wondered where the iron will really be sold?" The eldest grandson Wuji stared at Hou Junji and asked, Hou Junji heard it, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Don't you be afraid, those merchants sell to other countries, you know, the court strictly prohibits the sale of iron abroad!" The eldest grandson Wuji continued to stare at Hou Junji and asked.

"Brother Auxiliary Machine, did you hear something?" Hou Junji asked very carefully, and the eldest grandson Wuji heard it, knowing that as he guessed, Hou Junji was really related to this matter.

"What?" The eldest grandson Wuji pretended to be confused and looked at Hou Junji and asked.

"Shall I go to your study? Otherwise, you can go to my house! Hou Junji sat there and thought about it for a while, and then said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"It's good to say it here, I just ordered, there are no people in the next few rooms, you can rest assured!" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Hou Junji and said.

"Brother Auxiliary Machine, you just said that iron was sold abroad, did you hear any news?" Hou Junji said to the eldest grandson Wuji again.

"No, I'm thinking again, other countries know that we have so much pig iron in Datang, they will definitely find a way to buy it, there were those countries that sent people to secretly buy iron before, and now there must be it, what's wrong? You? The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Hou Junji and asked.

"Me? No, no, I've heard about it, and I'm not going to tell you, I'm worried about it, but those merchants assured me that they were bought in the south, and I also sent people to the southern state capitals to inquire, and those state capitals really didn't have much iron to sell, and the people could only buy it in the hands of those merchants! Hou Junji immediately waved his hand and said to the eldest grandson Wuji, with a relaxed face, but in fact, he was a little panicked.

"Well, it's better to be careful anyway, don't be deceived by those merchants, if it's really sent to the north, northwest, and northeast, then it's troublesome, and I don't know how many people will be headed!" The eldest grandson Wuji pretended to have no intention of reminding and said,

Hou Junji immediately nodded and said with a smile: "That's natural, how could I do such a foolish thing?" However, this time about the pig iron, can you ask your eldest nephew for help? ”

After finishing speaking, he stared at the eldest grandson Wuji, hoping to see the eldest grandson Wuji nodding.

"Hmph, Chong'er hasn't come back since the New Year, you must have heard of it, that kid in my family has a lot of opinions about me, forget it, he is now grown up, he has his own ideas, the old man can't control it, if you want to buy iron, go to him in person, your uncle will go to him, I think he will definitely pay attention to it, as for whether he will sell it to you, the old man can interfere with that ability!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately shirked and said,

He knew that Changsun Chong would definitely not sell it, and if he did, it would be a fool's mistake.

"This, Brother Fuji, Chong'er is your son after all, if you open your mouth, I believe he will definitely consider it!" Hou Junji heard that the eldest grandson Wuji refused like this, and immediately smiled and persuaded him.
