Chapter 377

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian sat there chatting, and Li Chengqian said the importance of Wei Hao's doing, which made Li Shimin very pleased.

"Very good, Gao Ming, you can see this, it means that you understand, therefore, the reform of the imperial examination is undelayed, and at the same time, it also allows us to be more comfortable in the face of the family, and we can advance and retreat.

Therefore, this year's imperial examination is very important, and you need to take a look at the papers, or even say, spot check to see if there are any talents who have been missed! Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Okay, father, my son's ministers will go over these days when they are free." Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"In addition, can the straight road from Chang'an to Luoyang be completed this year? Do you still have that much money? Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Yes, father, money, although there are not many in the warehouse now, the materials were prepared last year, and the cement was also paid, basically just labor costs, this son's side should not be a big problem, if the turnover is not effective, the son-in-law will ask the queen mother to borrow some, and then pay it back, this straight road, the son-in-law wants to repair it by himself!" Li Chengqian sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, that's how to do things, you have to have a beginning and an end, you are also a father, and you should also set an example for your children, at present, you are doing a good job, my father is very happy and grateful!" Li Shimin rarely praised Li Chengqian,

When Li Chengqian heard it, he was very excited, since he was a child, Li Shimin basically rarely praised himself, and now he praised himself for the first time, so that he couldn't react at once, but he still subconsciously said to Li Shimin: "Thank you for your praise!" ”

"Well, you'll buy it at the workshop too, right?" Li Shimin then asked.

"Yes, father, the son is thinking that the son may have many children in the future, and among those children at that time, they will definitely need money, and when the time comes, I will give them these shares, which can be regarded as an explanation to them.

Although the East Palace can make money now, in the future, the money of the East Palace is the money of the court, that is, the money of the internal money, and this money cannot be given to them, so only the things that the East Palace itself buys now can be given to them, as the father said, the court is the court's, and the sons are the ministers', this needs to be clearly distinguished. Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, buy some, you, have more children, and train well!" Li Shimin also nodded and did not say anything else.

"Actually, father, what Erchen wants to say is that you should also buy some, after all, Erchen still has so many younger brothers, although they and Erchen are not the same mother, but they are also Erchen's younger brothers, although they are still young,

But once he grows up, he also needs expenses, the third brother is very poor, this time he went to belong to Shu, and Erchen gave him 2000 yuan, hoping that he can live well in Shu, but once the other brothers grow up, if they have no money, Erchen is worried that it will be messed up, after all, as a prince, it also needs a lot of expenses! Li Chengqian immediately said to Li Shimin.

"Well, when the time comes, my father will give them a part of those shares, and the court has given them enough money, you, you can't rely on them, sometimes, they still need to do things on their own, you look at you, now Hu Shang's piece is doing very well, I heard that it has been sold to the Jieri Dynasty?" Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian as he spoke.

When Li Chengqian heard it, he immediately looked around.

"Let's all get out!" Li Shimin sat there and spoke, and the guards hidden inside immediately went out.

"Father, the son is about to report to you!" Li Chengqian said that he took out the information of the Jieri Dynasty from his arms. "Father, the land of the Ring Sun Dynasty is much better than ours, the land on their side is very flat, and you see, according to intelligence, they do have elephant troops, many elephants, and the army is also very large,

At present, our merchants have not fully mastered the language over there, and there are very few people who come to the Tang Dynasty during the festival, and Erchen has been looking for people to find them, but it is very difficult, Erchen wants to know more things about the Ring Sun Dynasty, but the language is not comprehensible.

Father, you see, it is written that the Jieri Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of troops, those nobles own a large amount of land, and the land of the entire Jieri Dynasty belongs to the king, and the king can reward whoever he wants, and ordinary people have no land! Li Chengqian sat there and introduced Li Shimin.

"The land belongs to the king, and he gives it to whomever he wants. In doing so, something big will happen, such a king, the people of the Ring Sun Dynasty, did not overthrow him? Li Shimin also felt very strange sitting there.

"I don't know, anyway, the intelligence says that the people over there are not living well, although their land is more fertile than ours, and their people are also very diligent.

However, their people seem to be poorer than our people in Datang, and our people in Datang are poor, because of the wars in previous years, but now they are getting better and better year by year, and Erchen believes that in a few years at most, the living standards of the people of Datang will definitely improve! Li Chengqian sat there and said to those Li Shimin.

"Well, explore the situation over there, such a good land in the Ring Sun Dynasty, according to Shen Yong's meaning, we don't take pity on ourselves, but, not now, we still need to wait, wait until our people are richer, we can't continue to fight,

This Jieri Dynasty, put it in the end, first of all, to solve those opponents in the northwest and north, and then Goguryeo in the northeast, especially Goguryeo, this small place, the strength is still okay, Emperor Yang of Sui suffered a big loss over there, I don't want to suffer such a loss, if I want to fight, I must completely wipe him out and directly merge into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin sat there and said very domineeringly.

"Yes, Erchen is also collecting news about Goguryeo, but there is good news that the nobles of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla have purchased a large amount of porcelain and my Tang Dynasty's exquisite grosgrain, and Erchen believes that continuing to sell this to them will still be able to weaken their strength.

In addition, Erchen also exchanged a large amount of grain, cattle and sheep from Silla, and now there are special people doing this, in the northeast border area, a large amount of grain comes in, and the place where Erchen has military rations is handed over to the local garrison! Li Chengqian sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Good! I received the news, this thing continues to be done, the grain continues to exist over there, once the troops need to go out, there is no need to transfer too much food from the Central Plains, this thing is very good! Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian say this, and said very happily.

"Thank you, father, Erchen is also thinking, those grains are placed over there, it's not bad, the grain gap here in the Central Plains is not big, and now the people have Quyuan plows, it seems that they will increase production, basically increasing by two percent, however, the population of my Datang is increasing, and Erchen is worried about whether there will be enough food to feed so many people in the future!" Li Chengqian nodded, and then said worriedly.

"This is also what my father is worried about, my father sometimes, when he goes out of the palace to look outside, he finds that there are many children, and his father is very happy, as soon as he inquires, there are many children in every household, and I am even more happy, but to feed a person, food is needed, money is only the surface, the key is food and clothes, without these, children will not grow up!" Li Shimin said with a sigh.

"Father, the son thinks that the problem of food needs to be laid out in advance, otherwise, once there is a famine, it will be troublesome, this matter, the father should discuss it with those ministers to see how to solve this problem, and ask Shen Yong, Shen Yong must have a way!" Li Chengqian sat there and suggested to Li Shimin.

"Well, okay! This matter should be discussed early! Li Shimin agreed,

After a while, Wang De came in and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Xia Guogong is here!" ”

"Let him in!" Li Shimin immediately said,

After Wei Hao came in, he found that Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were there.

"I've seen my father, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Wei Hao arched his hand and said.

"Come, sit down and say, it's okay today, so I'll call you to come and sit down!" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao to sit down, but Wei Hao looked at him depressedly. "What? The last time I saw you, it was when the imperial examination had just begun, how many days have it been? Don't you know how to go to the palace? Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said unhappily.

"Father, you have nothing to do, I have a lot of things to do in Wannian County, and now I am registering those who want to buy shares, and my sons need to keep an eye on them, for fear of any accidents, right?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin helplessly and said!

"I'm not as busy governing a country as you are, and you're embarrassed to govern a Wannian County?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao with disdain and said, Wei Hao had no choice but to roll his eyes.

"By the way, today a minister impeached you, saying that you Wannian County charges a penny for the registration fee, and there are hundreds of dollars a day, and if you calculate it, there may be thousands of dollars at that time, and I am afraid there will be problems with this money!"

", who do you look down on, there can still be problems in the past a thousand years, father, he is insulting me, I'm worried now, how can I lose my family, I suddenly found out, I'm so rich!" Before Wei Hao could finish speaking, he shouted,

Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao suspiciously: "Didn't you always know that you were rich?" Every day in the court, I call those ministers poor ghosts! ”

"It's different, father, eh, I'm so sad, Erchen suddenly found out that Erchen's family's annual income is almost 300,000 yuan, and then, Father, you say, how should Erchen spend it?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin as he spoke.

"Huh?" Li Shimin and Li Chengqian both looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"Really, really 300,000! I'm not bragging! How can you not trust people? Wei Hao looked at the two of them and said helplessly.

"You, why do you have so much money?" Li Shimin asked again in shock.

"Father, you see, there are more than 40 workshops in total, I calculate according to the minimum income, and I have 210,000 yuan a year, as well as my restaurant, and my shares in the paper workshop and ceramic workshop, do you calculate?" Wei Hao sat there, crossed his fingers, and asked them, both of them nodded.

"Eh, Father, how about you say that I will build a study building in every state capital in the country? I estimate that a study building will cost 10,000 yuan, and I will repair about 20 a year first? Wei Hao sat there, looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"You, you, you wait a minute!" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao not to speak first, he wanted to slow down, thinking in his heart, this kid actually has so much money, this is simply, no wonder he calls those ministers poor ghosts every day, not to mention those ministers, it is himself, in front of Wei Hao, they are all poor ghosts, although he controls the wealth of the world, but those wealth, not how he wants to spend it!

"No, don't repair the book building first, why don't you repair the book building, because there are not so many books, you let the book building in Chang'an continue to collect the books copied by those students, and after copying it, save it first, and when there are enough books to repair a book building, repair the book building?

Now, you give your father to build a palace, according to your family's model to repair the palace, last year it was agreed, I want to repair the palace, according to your family's repair, you have the money, your father will not give you a penny, for me to repair, rabbit cub, so rich, you are so rich? Li Shimin immediately called out to Wei Hao and asked Wei Hao to repair the palace for himself.

"Huh?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in shock.

"Ah what, that's it, I originally wanted to build the palace, but those ministers objected, saying that there are still many places where the court spends money, and they were refuted by those ministers, I said that I used internal funds to repair, and they were right, saying that I built a lot of buildings, regardless of the life and death of the people, eh, I will leave this matter to you! Anyway, there aren't so many books now, so why build so many book buildings? Li Shimin continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Yes, if you want a book soon, your son will print it!" Wei Hao immediately spoke.

"Print?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao a little incomprehensibly.

"Father, do you look down on me? I found out, you actually look down on me, can the book stump me? It's not easy to get a book, as long as you have a book, I can get you thousands of copies in a few days! Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin with an angry face and said.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian looked at Wei Hao in a daze, Li Shimin was stupid, when did he look down on this son-in-law, how much did he pay attention to it, and still look down on it?

"You bunny, what are you talking nonsense? The conscience of heaven and earth, when did my father look down on you, you said you could print books? Engraving printing? Bunny, do you know how much it costs? But yes, you're not short of money anyway? However, doing this requires a lot of manpower and material resources, do you really want to repair the library? Li Shimin said and looked at Wei Hao again.

"Hmmm! However, if you want to build a palace, I'll build one for you, but where is the vacant land? Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Isn't there a little garden next to it? If you fix it, fix it there! Li Shimin said immediately.

"Okay, let's repair it, but build a palace, well, father, if all of them come according to the most expensive, my income may not be enough for a year!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Not enough? You have at least 300,000 yuan a year, which is not enough, no, what kind of cultivation do you want to repair, can it still be enough? With 300,000 yuan, half of the palace can be repaired! Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked,

Wei Hao heard it and looked at Li Shimin with disdain.

"Okay, rabbit cub, you don't have enough money, you borrow money from the inner money, and when you get it in next year, you will pay it back!" Li Shimin then looked at Wei Hao and said,

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin in shock, this, isn't it, Wei Hao is building a palace for you, the money is not enough, you have to borrow money from the inside, and you have to pay it back? There is no reason for this, isn't this a waste of money?

"Okay, fix it this year?" Wei Hao nodded and said indifferently.

"Start repairing tomorrow, start tomorrow, do you hear?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and commanded.

"It's done!" Wei Hao nodded again and said, while Li Chengqian looked at the two of them incomprehensibly, one really dared to say, and the other dared to agree? What's going on here?

"After repairing the palace, you take this money, what do you like to do, but, learn from your father, do something good, but the study building, don't repair it so fast, I also found a problem, if there are too many readers, everyone wants to seek an official position, but it is not beautiful, if it does not meet their requirements, it may be chaotic, to control it, slowly repair, let people know that you are repairing, just give three or five every year!" Li Shimin explained to Wei Hao and said.

"Okay, but I can't finish it!" Wei Hao continued to look at Li Shimin and said in embarrassment.

"Then you will find a way to spend and find a way to lose!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.

"Yes, or else, I will be responsible for your private money in the future?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"I still need your money, I have money inside, when will I spend it, and your mother will dare not give it?" Li Shimin immediately looked at Wei Hao with disdain and said, and Wei Hao heard it too.

"Okay, it's your ability to be rich, who dares to say anything? You didn't steal two didn't rob, three came to the right way, rich is rich, who can rob you, your rich father is happy, when the court money is not enough, your father can still find you for help! Li Shimin patted Wei Hao's shoulder and said.

"Hehe, father, don't worry, little things! Erchen can't do anything else, but he can make money! Wei Hao immediately patted his chest and said with a smile.

"Well, no wonder you're a rabbit cub, you don't want to be on duty in the court, and the little money on duty is not enough for your treasury to miss!" Li Shimin shook his head with a smile and said.

"Hehe, how can I be, the main thing is that I don't want to be impeached by those ministers." Wei Hao immediately said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Well, Shen Yong, you have the ability, this father knows, this imperial examination reform, the father is very satisfied, ready to accept it all, and then carry it out, now those ministers are uncomfortable, more uncomfortable than eating flies, you kid is equivalent to slapping in their faces!" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao with a smile and said, I called him over today, mainly to talk about this matter.
