Chapter 363

Empress Changsun sat there and agreed, the royal family can not want those shares, as for whether Wei Hao will give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he will not say, there is no reason to say it. When those ministers heard that Empress Changsun had agreed, they stood up very gratefully and bowed their hands to Empress Changsun: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" ”

"Well, don't be busy thanking you, this palace needs to be made clear. If Hao'er doesn't give it to the palace, then he probably won't give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You can think about it clearly, if it is given to the palace, the palace will also allocate money from the treasury every year, if it is not given to the palace, but to others, the court will have nothing.

So, what to do next, but it's up to you, this palace won't put pressure on Shen Yong, there's no reason to put pressure! If this palace goes to put pressure, won't it make this kid chill? Empress Eldest Sun sat there and said to them flatly.

"Yes. Be! The ministers nodded and said,

"Well, okay, it's okay here in the palace, do you have anything else?" Empress Eldest Sun sat there and watched them and asked.

"Hui Niangniang, no!" Fang Xuanling stood there and shook his head and said.

"Then the palace won't send you, filial piety, Daozong, you two stay." Empress Eldest Sun spoke.

"Mother, the ministers are leaving!" Fang Xuanling and they said goodbye, Empress Eldest Sun nodded, and left.

Soon, there were only the three of them and those subordinates left in the house, and the three of them didn't speak, and Queen Changsun just sat there to make tea, and put the teacup they had just drunk into a small pot next to it to disinfect.

"On the royal side, there will definitely be rumors, but this palace needs to make it clear, those workshops of Shen Yong are for this palace, not for the royal family, whether the palace wants to be with the royal family or not has nothing to do with it, this, you need to go outside and make it clear to those children!" Empress Eldest Sun sat there and spoke.

"Yes, it's just, I'm afraid those children will still misunderstand!" Li Xiaogong looked at Empress Changsun in embarrassment and said.

"Let's not talk about them first, let's talk about the two of you, do you think this palace is doing the right thing, ask yourself!" Empress Changsun looked up at the two of them and said, the two of them immediately bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

"What do you have to say, after all, this matter is so big, as the prince, you are a very high status among the royal children, of course you are qualified to express your opinions." Empress Eldest Sun continued to speak to the two of them.

"Niangniang, it's not that we don't want to say, yes, eh, there are great interests here, to be honest, Shen Yong sent it over, don't be a pity, the royal children, it's just a little better last year, there was no money before, everyone can understand and support, the royal children support the royal affairs unreservedly,

But now, everyone could have been richer, so let's go, who can have no opinion, dissatisfied Niangniang said, I was also a little better last year, one is Shen Yong with some business, the other is the royal side of the share, and now, there are more and more royal children, from the early years of Wude to the present, the population of my royal children has tripled,

It is estimated that in another ten years, the population of my royal children may exceed 60,000, and if there are more children, the cost will be greater. And on the side of the Dao Sect, there are also many children, Niangniang, with the increasing number of royal populations, relying on these now, it may not be enough! Li Xiaogong sat there and said to Empress Changsun, who heard it and sighed.

"Yes, mother, I really shouldn't have promised them this!" Li Daozong sat there and said to Empress Eldest Sun.

"Yes, once it is announced, the royal children still don't know how to talk about you, eh, or else, let's hide it for a few days" Li Xiaogong looked at the eldest grandson queen and asked.

"Otherwise, mother, let's hide it for a few days!" Li Daozong also spoke.

"Can you hide it? Wait for this news, the whole Chang'an City will know, let them make trouble, make trouble, make trouble! Hmph, they underestimate the palace too much, they look down on the son-in-law of the palace, you just go out and announce it, what happened, the palace doesn't care! "Empress Eldest Sun is also a little tempered at the moment, how many things has she done for the royal family, and how much has her son-in-law contributed?

How? I didn't ask for it this time, they still have opinions, what do they know, their son-in-law, is there still a lack of a profitable business? I have such a son-in-law, do I still need to worry about money? Since those royal children want to make trouble, let them make trouble.

"This!" Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong looked at each other, and looked at Empress Eldest Sun a little incomprehensibly.

"It's okay, just go and announce it like this, you guys go back too, make it clear to those people in the clan, and say that the palace has agreed!" Empress Eldest Sun said to the two of them.

"Yes, mother, the ministers are leaving!" Li Xiaogong and the two of them also stood up, arched their hands to the eldest grandson queen, the eldest grandson queen nodded, the two of them immediately withdrew, after withdrawing, the two of them looked at each other, both shook their heads and smiled bitterly, how to tell those royal children later, if it is not good, it will be scolded, and the queen will also be slandered.

"Let's go, go to Your Majesty's side, you need to talk to Your Majesty about this matter, and listen to Your Majesty's meaning." Li Xiaogong said to Li Daozong, Li Daozong nodded, and the two of them thought of going together, and soon they arrived at the Ganlu Palace, where Wei Hao was still drinking tea.

When Li Shimin learned that the two of them were coming, he let them in.

"What's the matter, I'm going to the queen's side, what do you say?" Li Shimin looked at the two of them with a smile and asked.

"Your Majesty, they convinced the Queen Mother! The queen agreed, don't be cautious about the shares you sent..."

"What are you talking nonsense? Guanyin agreed? Li Shimin didn't wait for Li Xiaogong to finish speaking, and immediately asked anxiously.

"Yes, Niangniang agreed, and now we don't know how to tell the royal children!" Li Daozong also arched his hand next to him and said, Wei Hao is also dumbfounded, don't you want the queen mother?

"This, Shen Yong, how is this good?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao anxiously at the moment and asked.

"No, two uncles, you can't joke about this matter!" Wei Hao looked at the two of them and said.

"Do we dare? Is this a joke? Shen Yong, you go and persuade the queen to go, she loves you the most and trusts you the most, Shen Yong, you have to persuade well! Li Xiaogong looked at Wei Hao and said, this is really not a trivial matter, it involves a profit of one or two million yuan, who is willing to give up easily, even let Li Shimin make the decision, Li Shimin dare not be so happy.

"I, father, what's wrong with the queen mother, how did they convince my queen mother?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin as he spoke.

"How does my father know? Okay, you two go back first, Gao Ming, Shen Yong, you two will go to the Lizheng Hall with me, and we will have dinner there at noon! Li Shimin said to Wei Hao and Li Chengqian.

"Good!" Wei Hao also nodded, and soon, the three of them went straight to the Lizheng Palace,

And in fact, Li Shimin was very moved in his heart, this absolute, it can really only be the eldest grandson and queen, and the sooner the better, if it is slow, it will be complicated, and it is not easy to make a decision, now that the decision has been made, no matter how much discussion is made outside, the matter has been decided, and no one has a way to change it.

But just in front of those two princes, Li Shimin still needs to act, otherwise, it will make those royal children feel cold. After a while, they arrived at the side of the Lizheng Palace.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin coming, she immediately stood up and saluted and said, while Wei Hao and Li Chengqian also saluted to Empress Changsun: "Erchen has seen the queen mother!" ”

"Well, Gao Ming and Shen Yong are here, come, come and sit down here, Shen Yong, you come to make tea, the queen mother is still not familiar with these!" Empress Eldest Sun said to the two of them very happily.

"Good!" Wei Hao nodded, and walked over, and Li Shimin was also sitting there, looking at Empress Changsun affectionately, the two of them just had such a tacit understanding, many things, needless to say, Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and smiled, Li Shimin immediately said: "Guanyin, are you impulsive this time?" How can you make a decision so easily? ”

"What can I do, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all opposed, they all ask to be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if Your Majesty insists on keeping it, then it will definitely not work, if there is no money in the treasury, then there is nothing to say, but now there is so much money in the treasury of the Inner Treasury, if you continue to insist, you can't say it!" Empress Eldest Sun stood there and said with a wry smile.

"Queen Mother, don't worry about them, really, what are they, the things are made by us, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Manchu Dynasty Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, just now I also told my father, I can't make a decision on this matter, if those craftsmen know, they will definitely disagree,

How they treat craftsmen, everyone can see, why the craftsmen in the court take less money than Wenchen, Wenchen work, craftsmen do more work, they are more able to promote the progress of the country, but they are despised by those Wenchen, and now the Ministry of Civil Affairs wants it, but there is no door! Wei Hao stood there and said to Empress Eldest Sun,

When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she looked at Wei Hao in surprise, and then looked at Li Shimin.

"That's right, Shen Yong is right, the craftsmen have a lot of opinions about the officials of the court, and last year they were supposed to give them a higher salary, but the Wenchen didn't pass, and now, those craftsmen have come out, and the Wenchen wants to pick the fruit, do you think they can agree?" Li Shimin looked at Li Shimin with a wry smile and said.

"How, how is this good?" Empress Changsun also said a little anxiously, she hoped that it could be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and that handing it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs would be the court and the court, and that would be handed over to the Li family.

"Shen Yong, do you have a way to convince those craftsmen?" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Queen Mother, it's very difficult, it's not just these craftsmen who have opinions, but also the craftsmen of the entire Ministry of Industry, as well as the craftsmen of the whole world, all have opinions, how can the sons and daughters alone convince the craftsmen of the world?" Wei Hao was also embarrassed to look at the eldest grandson queen, and when the eldest grandson queen heard it, she also sat down worriedly.

"Shen Yong, you say, if the treatment of craftsmen is improved now, so that their children can also participate in the imperial examination, and the same treatment as Shinong, would it be good?" Li Chengqian stood there, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"What about the merchants? If the artisans are given the same treatment, then the merchants, believe it or not, those merchants can unite to make all the goods unsold, including those under royal control! Wei Hao looked at Li Chengqian and asked rhetorically.

"What Shen Yong means, I understand, I hope to be fair, in fact, I also want to be fair, the people of the world are all my people, I hope they can all contribute to the court, but, the ministers do not agree, you also know that among the current ministers, there are many children of the family, and they still want to protect the interests that belong to them.

"Well, Shen Yong, you really need to think of a way to convince them." Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao also knew what Empress Changsun meant at this moment, and she also hoped that she could hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Wei Hao was very hesitant in his heart, he couldn't force those craftsmen to do it, although he forcibly asked for it, those craftsmen could do it, but it would have a great impact on his future reputation.

"Shen Yong, you think about it." Li Shimin also looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Father, mother, the son does not agree to hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there is no reason to support it to be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and please think twice about it!" Wei Hao said to them at this moment.

"Huh?" Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun looked at Wei Hao a little incomprehensibly.

"There is really no reason to hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has to collect taxes, and it has to control those enterprises, father, these enterprises may be able to make money now, but after three or five years, they will definitely be eliminated, and once these enterprises are handed over to those officials to manage, something will definitely happen.

Father, I don't believe that if you go to check the current income of some salt and pig iron, it will definitely not meet expectations, for the officials, they will not bear the consequences of the failure of the workshop, once the workshop fails, they will not care about those workshops,

And if it is privately controlled, then the workshop needs to continue to develop new products, constantly meet the people's needs for products, and hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is categorically not feasible, the father and the son are not for themselves, but for the Tang Dynasty, five years later, if those workshops go out of business, the loss is a large amount of taxes, and please ask the father to be clear! Wei Hao stood there and said to Li Shimin.

"Hmm!" When Li Shimin heard it, he looked at Wei Hao, and he was also skeptical of Wei Hao's words in his heart, after all, who can know what will happen in five years?

"Father, if you don't believe it, then just do it, the sons have nothing to say, the sons can persuade those craftsmen, but at that time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will definitely face a cliff-like tax reduction, and please think twice!" Wei Hao continued to say to Li Shimin.

"I know, I believe in you, is there any other way?" When Li Shimin heard Wei Hao say this, he immediately calmed Wei Hao and said.

"No, there is no way for the sons, handing it over to the royal family is completely different from handing it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the consequences are the same, if it is handed over to a private person, it is different!" Wei Hao continued to persuade Li Shimin to say, Li Shimin nodded, hoping that Wei Hao would agree to hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but Wei Hao said so, he couldn't force Wei Hao to do anything, so he could only nod.

"Okay, sit down and talk!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded, knowing that they still didn't believe what they said, but if it really came to the point where the workshop went bankrupt, Wei Hao didn't want to see it, and then, they had been persuading Wei Hao, asking Wei Hao how to do it, Wei Hao said that there was no way, he didn't want to hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and after lunch from the Lizheng Palace, Wei Hao returned to the county office, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were also sitting on the side of the Lizheng Palace.

"Cautious attitude, you have also seen, he is very disagreeing with handing over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how is it good?" Li Shimin looked at Empress Eldest Sun and asked.

"The concubine believes in Shen Yong, and Shen Yong is willing to hand it over to the royal family, but she is so disgusted with handing it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the concubine believes that Shen Yong's consideration is right, but we don't understand the operation of the workshop, but we can ask Li Qian, Li Zhen understands something!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Shimin.

"Well, go and call Liz!" Li Shimin said immediately.

"I'm not in the palace, I'm out!" Empress Eldest Sun shook her head and said.

"You just said that Shen Yong's consideration may be right? So, it is still difficult for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to get the equity of those workshops this time? Li Shimin sat there, looked at Li Shimin and said, Empress Eldest Sun nodded.

"Hmm!" Li Shimin hummed and didn't speak.

"Blame the concubine, I didn't discuss it with Shen Yong first, if I did, such a thing wouldn't have happened." Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Well, it's useless to discuss this, those ministers won't agree to the royal control, and if you don't agree at that time, they will attack you and keep writing!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

"But if Shen Yong doesn't agree, those civil servants will start attacking Shen Yong, although they didn't dare at first, but once they are sure that they can't hand it over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you look at it, they won't let Shen Yong go." Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Shimin,

Li Shimin sighed, and sat there for a while and didn't know what to do.

And after Wei Hao returned to the county government of Wannian County, he also sat there thinking about this matter, and handed it over to the Ministry of People, he would never agree, the products of these workshops are all ordinary products, if they are given to the Ministry of People, it is equivalent to the court personally ending up fighting with those businessmen.

The point is that they can't compete with those businessmen, and in the end, they will definitely force those businessmen to surrender, but will mess up the entire market, and when the time comes, Datang will just recover its emphasis on technology, not to mention the prototype, and even go backwards, which Wei Hao can't allow.

But if he doesn't agree, at that time, he will face a lot of pressure, and even say that he will be distrusted by Li Shimin, thinking of this, Wei Hao is very irritable, completely out of his original expectations, and he dreamed that the court would come down to fight for such interests.
