Chapter 287

Wei Hao said that he wanted them to take the money out to do business, when they heard it, they were happy, what they were waiting for was Wei Hao's words, the previous brick mill was missed, which made them regret it, especially the eldest grandson Chong and Fang Zhizhi,

Now that the opportunity has come, can they still miss it? Last time Wei Hao and Wei Zheng quarreled, Wei Hao shouted at Wei Zheng, and immediately made a business of tens of thousands of yuan a year, a few dollars, for Wei Hao, it may be small money, after all, Wei Hao is too good at making money, but for them, don't say tens of thousands of dollars a year, that is, there are 1,000 yuan, it is a big business.

"Cheng, let's make it clear first, this business, maybe the royal will become a shareholder, the royal wants fifty percent of the shares, I want two percent, and the remaining thirty percent, you share, I don't take the money, the royal family doesn't take the money, I don't know, I'm embarrassed to ask them to ask them, but, the capital doesn't need much, it's not good, it will be able to return to the capital in a few months, and it will be able to make some money in a year, anyway, this business will definitely make a lot of money!" Wei Hao smiled and said to them.

"You can say as much as you want, no problem, can't we believe it?" Fang Yizhi immediately said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, then when all the steel in this furnace is out, we will go back to Beijing, anyway, there is no problem in handing it over to those craftsmen here!" Wei Hao said to them.

"It's time to go back and rest for a few days, we've been busy here for a few months!" Those people also nodded, they have been making iron for several months, and now there is a lot of pig iron here in the iron mill.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Industry came to take away 200,000 catties, mainly from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and they came with a note written by His Majesty, because now, the ownership of the iron mill has not yet been determined.

Three days later, all the steel came out, Wei Hao also borrowed a large number of carriages from the brick mill, loaded those steel bars, and prepared to go back, these steel bars, Wei Hao bought them at 15 yuan per catty, a total of more than 150,000 catties, worth 2,300 yuan, Wei Hao also sent someone to send money over.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wei Hao returned to the house, and those steel bars were also sent to the construction site of the new mansion, Wei Hao was ready to rest for two days, and began to make cement and lime, of which the lime technology is very mature, there is a lime factory on the paper mill, but now those people don't know that there are other functions, besides, the lime factory is not affiliated with the paper factory, this has been made clear to Li Liqing before.

"Dad, mother!" As soon as Wei Hao got off the horse from the gate of the mansion, he shouted loudly, and Wei Furong and the Wang family had already learned in advance that Wei Hao was coming back, so as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wei Furong and the Wang family, as well as those aunts, all came out.

"Bunny, it's back!"

"Oh my son!"

"Hao'er is back, but he's suffering!" ... Wei Furong and they saw Wei Hao and immediately surrounded them, Wei Furong was nothing, and he would not express any longing, but the Wang family was so excited.

"Hehe, I'll come back, mother, aunts, go, go back, it's too sunny!" Wei Hao supported the Wang family with one hand and the Li family with the other, and said with a smile.

"Let's go, go into the house and say, my mother told them to kill the chickens, stew the old hen for you to eat, look at what my son looks black, this is fortunately a marriage, otherwise, the daughter-in-law is not easy to say!" Wang said distressedly.

"It's okay, it's black!" Wei Hao still said with a smile, and then shouted at Wei Furong: "Dad, I'm back!" ”

"Well, it's good to be back, go back to the house, your mother has instructed the kitchen to cook a lot of food you like!" Wei Furong also smiled and nodded, after all, he is the only son, no matter how good he is at words, he is also very excited at the moment.

Soon, the family arrived at the living room, and the maid at home also brought tea and snacks to Wei Hao.

"Come, eat some pads, the food will be served soon!" Wang said to Wei Hao, because it was past noon when Wei Hao came back, and they had finished eating, and now Wei Hao was eating alone.

"Okay, don't eat it, how is it at home? Nothing, right? Did Daddy bully you? Wei Hao sat there and asked.

"Who dares to bully your father, your father is in Xicheng, that's sideways!" Wei Furong immediately said proudly, this is really the truth, those who have the strength to bully Wei Furong are the royal family, but Wei Furong and the royal family are in-laws, who dares to bully?

"That's good, what about the farmland at home, okay?" Wei Hao asked.

"Eh, there are thousands of acres that may dry up, no water, you also know that this year's rain is a lot less, the high terrain, there is no water, those people have no choice, they can only use wooden barrels to carry water, water those rice fields, you say, eh, what can be used in this way, thousands of acres, the old man is also worried. The carpenter was instructed to make a few waterwheels, but it was not enough, far from enough! Wei Furong sat there and said with a sigh.

"Don't you have a channel? Don't you have a reservoir? Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong in surprise and said.

"How can there be a reservoir, Hao'er, my father went to buy those mountains, listen to you, let's repair the reservoir ourselves, and start repairing it after cutting the rice, we can't rely on God!" Wei Furong sat there and said with a sigh.

"Okay, Dad, take me to see it in the afternoon, I still don't believe it, is there water in the lowland?" Wei Hao sat there and asked.

"Yes! There are quite a few, and it is estimated that there is no problem! Wei Furong said.

"Okay, I'll go after lunch!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Son, don't worry, it's okay to take a day off!" Wang said distressed to Wei Hao.

"Mother, we can wait, but those rice fields can't wait!" Wei Hao immediately looked at Wang and said.

"Go ahead, see if Hao'er has a way, thousands of acres of land, involving hundreds of tenants, to go!" Wei Furong said with great relief that his son is finally in charge of the family's affairs.

Soon, the meal came up, Wei Hao also ate quickly, the old hen also killed two chicken legs, and the rest was left to eat at night.

After eating, he didn't rest, so he and Wei Furong went to the arid place.

"Dad, here, there's no water in this piece!" Wei Hao just came out of Chang'an City, and found that many rice fields had no water, if the drought continued for a period of time, those rice would die, and now those rice were just budding, and they needed water.

"Look, those people are carrying water, but it's useless, son, it's hard to farm!" Wei Furong sat on the horse and said with emotion.

"Let's go and have a look at us!" Wei Hao said and urged the horse to go to his farmland, and when he got there, Wei Hao found that there was no water in many farmlands, and there was no meaning of rain on this day.

"This year's drought is fixed, I asked some old farmers, and they all said that this year is designated for drought!" Wei Furong sat there and said. "By the way, what about my cotton, and there is no water?" Wei Hao thought of the cotton he planted.

"Yes, all those people carry water to water, once a day, and now it is just the time to bear fruit, I see that those cotton fruits are very good, if they bloom, it is estimated that there will be a lot of cotton." Wei Furong said immediately, and Wei Hao was also a lot relieved.

"The owner, the young owner, you are here!" Some peasants who were carrying water saw Wei Hao and them coming, and they also rested their shoulders, and saluted Wei Hao and them.

"Isn't it a thing to carry water like this, it's this blockbuster?" Wei Hao stood there, pointing to this large arid place, which was very large, thousands of acres of land.

"Yes. Mainly this large area, other places, can also be put into the water! Wei Furong stood there and nodded.

"Let's go, go to the place where you carry water, I'll take a look!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong, Wei Furong took Wei Hao over, there was a river not far away, the river was not big, and it eventually flowed into Weishui.

Wei Hao stood there, visually inspected, estimated that the height difference was about 15 meters, those people were all here to carry water, Wei Hao stood in the river and looked at it, and then began to go to the top, took a look, and found that there was no canal in some places.

"Don't pick up the water, you guys, go back to the village immediately and call someone to come over, bring a hoe, come here to dig a canal, open the canal, tomorrow I have a way for you to get the water in the river, now dig the canal!" Wei Hao stood there and shouted at them.

"Ah, the young owner? How do you get this? An old farmer looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"You don't care how I get it, you go and call someone, I'll go upstream and see if I can lower the height and how far I need to go!" Wei Hao said to the old farmer.

"Just go, go!" Wei Furong asked the old farmer, now is a critical time, Wei Furong still believes in his son.

"Yes, owner!" When the old peasants heard this, they went one after another,

And Wei Hao walked along the riverbank, but after walking a few miles, he found that there was still no change, in this case, he could only choose the place closest to his own field, Wei Hao rode to the place just now, those farmers had already come, Wei Hao asked them to start digging channels, commanded them to dig channels, and after explaining it, Wei Hao and Wei Furong rode back,

When he arrived at home, Wei Hao returned to his study and drew a drawing, and Wei Furong also called the carpenters at home, not only called the carpenters at home, but also invited carpenters from other families to come over, there were more than 50 carpenters alone,

And the wood is also available at home, Wei Hao handed over the drawings to them, and asked them to make the water hook car according to the drawings, those carpenters looked at the water hook car, although they didn't understand what this was for, but now Wei Hao ordered, and people also paid for it, they just did it according to the drawings.

"Dad, tell them that they have to make 100 tonight!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong.

"Okay, I know, son, you go and rest for a while, go quickly, there is a father here to keep an eye on!" Wei Furong immediately said to Wei Hao,

Wei Hao nodded, he was indeed a little tired, so he returned to his small courtyard and prepared to sleep, but it was still a little hot, no way, it was already starting to heat now.

In the palace, Li Shimin was also the one who had just finished meeting Qin Tianjian, and they told Li Shimin that in the area of Chang'an, there may not be heavy rain in the next month, that is to say, the drought in Chang'an has become a foregone conclusion, and now we must find a way to fight the drought.

"How good is this, the entire Chang'an is like this for hundreds of miles to the northwest!" Li Shimin sat there and said worriedly, drought, there is no water in the farmland, and it is still the time when water is most needed in the year, but fortunately, there is still water in the Wei River, and there is no problem with people and livestock, but there is a big problem with the farmland!

"Your Majesty, now those people can only carry water to water the farmland, but they can water a few acres, and now the rice fields have about a month to be harvested, when the matter is critical, and the wheat can be harvested in half a month, which is also the time when water is needed!" Fang Xuanling said anxiously at the moment, now that his family has a lot of farmland without water, he also needs to think of a way.

"Eh, let's prepare for disaster relief, is there still enough food here in the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" Li Shimin asked.

"It needs to be mobilized from other places, as far as Chang'an and the surrounding cities are concerned, it will definitely not be enough!" Li Jing also arched his hand and said,

Dai Xuan also nodded and said: "It's really not enough, and it needs to be mobilized from farther away, and the same is true for those surrounding cities!" ”

"Then we have to prepare for mobilization, we can't wait for there to be no food, so that the people panic, in addition, we must also control those grain merchants, and we can't raise food prices!" Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling.

"Your Majesty, this minister knows, let's find a way now, if this drought continues, those farmlands will be a pity, and they can be harvested immediately, if there is such a drought, a part of the yield can be reduced, but if it is not good, it will be all grain, which is equivalent to a dead harvest!" Fang Xuanling was very anxious, and he felt a pity in his heart.

Those paddies are budding, and if there is no water, they will die immediately, and the rice will not bear rice!

Li Shimin is also very irritable, the weather is going to be dry, what can he do, he went to ask for rain three days ago, it was completely useless, and now he can only wait.

In the evening, Li Shimin came to the Lizheng Hall worriedly, and he got Li Zhi and his son-in-law, but the sadness between his eyebrows could not be erased. Empress Changsun also knows that there is a drought now, and there is no way.

"Hao'er is back, I heard that he will be back this afternoon, or, early tomorrow morning, call Hao'er over and ask, ask him if there is any way?" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin and said.

"What can he do? If it doesn't rain, no one can do anything, can he still get the water out of the Wei River? Li Shimin said helplessly.

"Well, too!" When Empress Changsun heard this, she also nodded,

And in Wei Hao's house, the carpenter of Wei Hao's family is still busy, some water dragon cars have been ready, after Wei Hao woke up, he saw that those water dragon cars have been done a lot, and his heart is also a lot more relieved.

"Son, does this work?" Wei Furong asked Wei Hao a little worriedly at the moment, after all, he had done so much, if it didn't work, it would be a pity!

"It's useful, you can rest assured, I'll pull it to the farmland tomorrow, it's over early in the morning, I have to go to the palace tomorrow to report on my work, and at the same time hand over the seal or something, it's okay to go later!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong.

"That's good, I hope it's useful, don't you know, now everyone is in a hurry, your brother-in-law's farmland, fortunately, the terrain is low, but according to this dry method, it is estimated that it will be a matter of three or five days, and now your sisters are going to the farmland to fight the drought with those farmers!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao.

"What are they doing, they don't have any money at home?" Wei Hao heard it and said casually.

"Food is fundamental, money is useless, no food, no matter how much money you have, it's useless, you have to starve to death!" Wei Furong glared at Wei Hao fiercely and scolded.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, you were right!" Wei Hao hurriedly admitted his mistake, no matter what era it is, food always comes first, without food, everything else is in vain!

Early the next morning, Wei Hao's family made more than 140 water hoses, Wei Hao's family put the water hoses on the carriage, and dragged them directly to the farmland.

And Wei Furong also asked them to gather people to come over and bring hoes, and after those people arrived, Wei Hao instructed them to dig a pit, and put those water scoopers down in a pit a few meters.

"You two, go shake this! Seeing that the two sticks were not, the holes on the sticks were against the two handles, yes, they started to shake! Wei Hao pointed to the two young people and said, the two young people immediately began to shake according to what Wei Hao said, and with this shake, the water in the river immediately came up, and there was a lot of water.

"Keep shaking, so do you!" Wei Hao pointed to those people and said, those people were also very excited when they saw the water in the river in this way,

Soon, many people began to shake those water dragons, and after a while, the first pit was almost full, Wei Hao asked the people above to continue to shake, and after a while, the water reached the channel and began to flow towards the farmland.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Some people haven't shaken it yet, and they all thanked Wei Hao and Wei Furong, which is much faster than them carrying water, and with so many water dragons, the water in the channel is very large.

"Hurry up and water the fields, remember, the first wave only needs to water the ground, and if you wet the ground, I estimate that you can last thirty days, first let all the arid farmland, water the wetlands, and then fill those fields with water, don't let those rice drought,

Also, you people who shake the water dragon cart are divided into two groups of people, one group is tired, and the other group is on the other, don't stop, and you don't expect it to rain, I guess there is no rain during this time of the day, it depends on yourself! Wei Hao shouted at those people.

"Shaodongjia, don't worry, we know, thank you Shaodong!" Those people shouted happily, the water can come up, they are not afraid, even if it is shaking day and night, it doesn't matter, as long as there is water in the rice fields,

Wei Furong is also very proud at the moment, or his son has a way, these thousands of acres of land, it is estimated that he will not die, and there is no need to worry about other farmland, with this water dragon, there is still water in the river, so there is no need to worry, soon, more and more people gathered here, all of them are Wei Hao's farmers, and they all came to shake the water dragon.
