Chapter 298: Do You Want to Poison the Old Man?
Chapter 298
Wei Hao and Li Dejian drank tea in the living room, chatting about the current situation, and after a while, Li Jing came back, and when Li Jing came back, the Red Whisk Girl and Li Siyuan went to the backyard, he knew that Wei Hao and they were going to talk about the affairs of the court.
"Shen Yong, what's going on today? Why did you decide the matter of this iron mill? Li Jing sat down, looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"My father came to me in the cell and said that he wanted me to apologize to Wei Zheng, can I still apologize to him? Then he asked me to do this, I didn't agree, he let the wind out first, I had no choice, I could only say to the Ministry of Industry, anyway, I am familiar with the Ministry of Industry!
Besides, I guess my father also meant this, otherwise, he would have made a decision at the beginning and gave it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs! Moreover, the Ministry of Industry is so poor that I can't stand it! Wei Hao sat there and said to Li Jing.
"Oh, that's what happened, okay, just do it, and give it to the Ministry of Industry, but many officials in the court have opinions about you, but it's not a bad thing, you just do what you want!" Li Jing touched his beard and said with a smile.
"I think no matter what good or bad things are, this matter is settled, and no one should come to me!" Wei Hao smiled and said.
"Well, three days later, it is estimated that many officials may come to you for debate!" Li Jing reminded Wei Hao and said.
"Whatever, it doesn't matter, they can argue if they want to, and it's not up to me whether they listen or not!" Wei Hao said to Li Jing with a smile.
"The matter between you and Wei Zheng, I will find a way to ease you up, don't fight between the two of you, Wei Zheng is such a person, he is right about things and not people, what about you, you should also be magnanimous!" Li Jing said to Wei Hao.
"He's right about things and not people, not necessarily, he's been staring at me lately!" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing and said in disbelief.
"How long have you been in the court, and you haven't done anything specific for the court before, the iron workshop seems to be the first thing, Wei Zheng is like this, the old man has been impeached by him, you are very similar to him, both of them are talking but brains, they can say whatever they want, it's not good to think about the consequences of speaking." Li Jing said to Wei Hao.
"I'm thinking about what to do, am I tired?" Wei Hao sat there and smiled.
"By the way, have you considered Erlang's matter?" Li Jing then looked at Wei Hao and said.
"Erlang? Second uncle? When Wei Hao heard it, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Jing, what did he think about?
"Yes, now the old man doesn't know what to arrange him to do, now he is an earl, Congwen Congwu needs to think clearly, what about him, practicing martial arts is not as good as Siyuan! The Art of War, Huh! Li Jing looked at Li Dexuan and snorted coldly as he spoke, and Li Dexuan immediately laughed.
"Siyuan, Siyuan knows martial arts?" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing in shock and asked.
"Yes, I learned it from his mother!" Li Jing nodded, Wei Hao swallowed his saliva, thinking, fortunately he learned martial arts with his master, otherwise in the future, if there was a conflict, he might not be able to fight, it would be so miserable.
"Erlang's matter, do you have any suggestions, the old man wants to hear what you mean." Li Jing looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"No, father-in-law, isn't it time to build roads? For the management of road construction, the second uncle and the rest of the people, that is a good hand, the father and the emperor have no arrangement, they have experience in the management of major projects, how can such experience be wasted like this? Wei Hao looked at Li Jing and asked puzzled, Li Shimin actually didn't arrange them.
"Huh?" Li Jing looked at Wei Hao when he heard it.
"Father-in-law, let them manage the road construction, they have more management experience than many officials of the Ministry of Industry, and they can do better, father-in-law, you should talk to your father, you don't avoid relatives, they are very familiar with this part." Wei Hao sat there, looked at Li Jing and said.
"Oh, build the road, Erlang, would you like to go?" Li Jing turned his head to look at Li De Award as he spoke.
"I don't want to go, but if it's a mission sent by His Majesty, I can't go, but there's nothing to do anyway, it's okay to go!" Li Dexuan said with a smile.
"Nacheng, when the time comes, I'll talk to the servant and let him propose!" Li Jing nodded, spoke, and then looked at Wei Hao and said; "What about you, what are you going to do? It is estimated that there is no need to delay you for long on the side of the library, and the same is true for the school, you are just managing, you don't need to teach at all, you can go or not! What are your plans? ”
"No, father-in-law, I want to take a break, I will build my mansion first this year, and I will talk about other things later!" Wei Hao immediately shook his head and said, Li Jing nodded,
Then chatted with Wei Hao, and when it was time to eat, Wei Hao had dinner at Li Jing's house.
After eating, Wei Hao and the three of them went to Juxian Building, and at this moment they also had a banquet, and they were very happy to see Wei Hao coming.
"That, one counts as one, if you are free tomorrow morning, go with me to see the place outside the city, where our workshop needs to be set up, and also, we also need to buy land and build, and everyone will arrange it then!" Wei Hao said to them,
When those people heard this, of course they were interested, although it was to make money for the family, but they could also get benefits, and having money in the family does not mean that they have money.
In the evening, Wei Hao returned to his place and began to design a steamer for distilling liquor, and after designing it for one night, it felt almost done, so it was handed over to the blacksmith and carpenter at home.
Early the next morning, Wei Hao took more than 20 people to ride to the western suburbs, Wei Hao and they looked for almost two hours, it was already noon, and then they found a suitable place, Wei Hao told Wei Chi Baolin to buy here, and then he had to go to the brick workshop to buy bricks, and invite people to come and work, Wei Hao ordered a few people who had nothing to do, and let them be in charge of here, at noon, Wei Hao invited them to eat in Juxian Building,
In the afternoon, Wei Hao returned to the small courtyard.
"Childe, what you want is done, do you think this is okay?" A family member next to Wei Hao came to Wei Hao's side and asked.
"Oh, it's done!" Wei Hao heard it and stood up happily.
"Well, it's done, just put it in the side room next to it." Jia Ding immediately nodded and said, Wei Hao arrived in the wing room and looked at the steamer, which was really good.
"Well, call the mason at home, are there any bricks in the house?" Wei Hao asked the housekeeper.
"I don't know about this little one, I need to ask the housekeeper!" Jia Ding hesitated for a moment and said.
"Go get the housekeeper over, and, well, I'm looking for a house!" Wei Hao opened his mouth and said, and then went to look for a house to see if there was a vacant courtyard, and found that there was no, Wei Hao had no choice but to choose a room near the wall.
"Childe, the carpenter is here, and I have the bricks to send them over, what are you going to do?" Steward Wang followed behind Wei Hao and asked.
"Build a stove here, let them do it quickly, tonight, Ben Gongzi will use it!" Wei Hao said to Steward Wang.
"Okay, don't worry, Childe!" Steward Wang nodded hurriedly, Wei Hao explained clearly, and left, returning to his small courtyard.
On Li Shimin's side, Li Shimin also looked at those chapters, and had a headache, all talking about the matter of the iron workshop, and now they are not arguing whether the iron workshop should be given to the Ministry of Industry, but they are discussing, this matter cannot be handed over to Wei Hao to make a decision, and he wants His Majesty to take back his life.
"This rabbit cub doesn't know about a trip to the palace!" Li Shimin sat there, touched his head and said.
"Your Majesty, do you want to summon Xia Guogong over?" Wang De immediately asked, the rabbit cub in Li Shimin's mouth can only be one person, and that is Wei Hao.
"No, why did you call him over, let him come over and be angry, this kid, if you don't get angry with me for a day, he will be uncomfortable!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, just don't look at those recitals, and wait for the day after tomorrow to solve them, let those ministers go and talk to Wei Hao, and see how Wei Hao cleans them up, but those ministers still keep sending the recitals to Zhongshu Province.
"Senior Brother Yao, take a look, how to deal with these movements, Your Majesty has read them all, and there is no instruction, and the ministers below are still asking if we have sent them!" Fang Xuanling said to Li Jing with a wry smile.
"Let's just send it up, we should leave the rest of the matter alone, besides, I want to tell you something!" Li Jing said with a wry smile, and then looked at Fang Xuanling.
"Senior Brother Yao, you say!" Fang Xuanling put down the things in his hand, looked at Li Jing and asked. Li Jing immediately told Fang Xuanling what he said to Wei Hao yesterday,
When Fang Xuanling heard this, it really made sense, and it might be better to let them manage the road construction than to hand it over to other officials.
"Cheng, the old man will go to His Majesty in the afternoon to talk to him, as you said, they are all people with similar experience, so they can't waste it!" Fang Xuanling immediately agreed,
In the afternoon, Fang Xuanling really went to say it, Li Shimin also felt that this idea was good when he heard it, let them manage the matter of repairing the straight road, the provincial Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs were pulling each other's skins, and if they didn't have money, let them ask for a few of them, if the Ministry of Civil Affairs didn't give it, they would come to themselves again, and they would be able to solve this matter themselves, and the province was dragging it now.
Li Shimin then said to Fang Xuanling, let him say at the court meeting, when the time comes, this matter will be settled,
At night, Wei Hao was also busy in the study, Wei Hao has been drawing the drawings of the cement workshop, and now the place has been found, and the materials have been found, that is, the construction, without the drawings, how can it be built? Moreover, now that I can't wait for my new mansion, I still need to hurry.
"Childe, the housekeeper just came to look for you, you instructed you not to disturb people in the study, he said, the stove has been built, the steamer has been installed, ask what else is needed?" When the family saw Wei Hao coming out, he reported to Wei Hao.
"Well, okay, it's time for dinner, right?" Wei Hao said and walked outside with his hands behind his back.
"The front yard hasn't come to notify you yet!" The housekeeper said, and Wei Hao didn't care, he was a little hungry, so he went to the front yard to have a look.
After the meal, Wei Hao took a few of the family members in his small courtyard to work in the distilled liquor room, Wei Hao asked them to pour the lees into it, and then let those people light the fire, and he just sat there and watched,
After a while, the room was filled with a strong aroma of wine, very fragrant,
After a while, Wei Furong also came over, and he was also surprised to smell such a fragrant wine.
"Hao'er, what are you doing here?" Wei Furong looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"Make wine, it will come out soon!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong and said.
"You make wine out of those lees?" Wei Furong saw that there were still a lot of sake lees next to him, so he asked.
"Well, hehe, it's a good wine you haven't drunk!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile and said,
At this time, there were drips of wine from the bamboo pipe under the steamer, and Wei Hao immediately went over to look at it, anyway, there was a jar underneath.
"It should be wine!" Wei Hao looked at the dripping wine drops, and said, there is no way to judge now, after all, the wine smell is so strong.
"Bunny, is this wine? This is a drop of water! What are you doing here, you're full, it's not hot, okay, go back to sleep! Wei Furong saw that it was a transparent wine droplet, and immediately said to Wei Hao, he had never seen a liquor before, thinking that this was a water droplet.
"Dad, this is wine, not water, okay, I won't tell you, you better go to sleep, I'm going to keep an eye on it here!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong.
"You're confused, aren't you? Is this wine? Hurry back to sleep, you know to sleep during the day, and you can't sleep at night, really! Wei Furong scolded at Wei Hao.
"If you don't believe it, forget it, you wait here, wait a while, it's flowing fast now, bring the bowl!" Wei Hao said to the family next to him,
When the family heard it, he immediately brought a hurried bowl to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao immediately put it down and took a little. When he got in front of Wei Furong, he quickly said, "Dad." You taste it! ”
"Get out, bunny, you want your dad to die early, don't you? So what is it for Daddy to taste? Wei Furong glared at Wei Hao and scolded Wei Hao, he didn't know anything, so he let himself drink, this kid didn't clean up.
"If you don't drink, I'll drink!" Wei Hao took a sip as he spoke.
"Hiss, roar~ good wine, good wine, no, no, no, it's too pure, spicy tongue!" As soon as Wei Hao drank it, he knew that it was liquor, and he was very excited.
"Poison you bunny! Don't drink it, what is this? Wei Furong nervously scolded Wei Hao, he is a son, don't play yourself to death.
"Dad, don't worry, it's poisonous there? You wait! Wei Hao said and ordered someone to get some cold boiled water, and at the same time took a bowl over, and then Wei Hao came over with some graduated ceramic cups, and placed the small table in the kitchen,
Then start pouring the same liquor into it, then measure the cold white of different scales and add it, and then taste a small sip to determine the best taste of liquor, now I don't want to release the high liquor out, I can't draw it, or the low liquor is the most suitable, so that it can be sold for a few more money, the high liquor still has to be saved, and the older the storage, the better it tastes.
"You kid, can you really drink?" Wei Furong stood there and asked Wei Hao suspiciously.
"You taste it, I can still block my own father, it's really wine, it's all sake lees, sake lees contain a lot of essence, you don't understand, just use it to feed the pigs, it's a pity, if you want to feed the pigs, you have to wait for the distillation to play and then feed!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong, and as he spoke, he brought 10,000 low-alcohol wine to Wei Furong, Wei Furong took it and tasted it, it was really wine.
"Hey, this, this, is it so delicious? Why doesn't it smell like that? Also, why is it so clean, I don't know and think it's plain water! Wei Furong looked at Wei Hao in shock and said.
"Hey, good bar!" Wei Hao said proudly to Wei Furong.
"Good wine, that, a few of you, you will be in charge of this place in the future, if you dare to say it, you will be killed!" Wei Furong immediately told those family members.
"Master, don't you dare!" The family members immediately bowed their hands and said.
"Get it well, double the salary!" Wei Furong said to the family, and the family immediately thanked him.
"Good wine, good wine, give the old man a little more!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao took the prepared and poured some for Wei Furong, not daring to get more.
"This wine is more powerful than the wine sold in Juxian Building now, ordinary people can drink three bowls in Juxian Building, and they may not even be able to drink a bowl here, when selling, you must pay attention to remind them,
If you drink this wine for the first time, you can only sell them a bowl, and if you don't sell it more, you will say no! Wei Hao said to Wei Furong.
"This, okay, but I'm afraid it's not that easy, who doesn't like good wine, and how to sell this" Wei Furong looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"Well, the current Yuqiong is 20 wen yuan per catty, this is 30 wen per catty, don't let Yuqiong completely lose sales, that's all!
This profit is very high, Dad, here I added two loads of grain lees, it is estimated that the grain is about 200 catties, you see, there is already a jar here, this jar, I estimate that it can be matched with two and a half jars of liquor, a jar can hold about 10 catties, Dad, calculate the account, it is better than selling grain! Wei Hao said with a smile at Wei Furong.
"Rabbit cubs, you can't make wine, you can only brew secretly, if you brew too much, you will be investigated, and then it will be troublesome!" Wei Furong reminded Wei Hao!
"I know, we collect sake lees, we don't make wine, I think who will impeach me?" Wei Hao squeezed his eyes at Wei Furong proudly.
"Okay, anyway, you should be careful yourself, this wine is good, if you appear in Juxian Building tomorrow, I don't know what the business will become, now our restaurant business is not good, white flour and white rice, the whole Datang, just our family, now if there is such a liquor, the old man estimates that the business is very better!" Wei Furong said very happily.
"Dad, Dongcheng, you see if there is any vacant land, I want to rebuild a restaurant, Juxian Building is still small, rebuild a restaurant, it is our own home, now Juxian Building is rented, people take it back, we have no choice!" Wei Hao thought about it for a moment and spoke.
