Chapter 289

Those ministers looked at them helplessly, one wanted to give Wei Hao power, and the other didn't.

Li Shimin was also very helpless, he wanted Wei Hao to control the iron mill, but this kid was not interested in such a thing at all, what should he do?

"Wei Hao, what should I do if something goes wrong in the iron mill then?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked sternly.

"What's wrong with me? Oh, you still want me to be responsible for the rest of my life, that's the stove, how can it not be broken? The stove that burns the fire in someone's house may break! You can't say that you want me to keep them safe for the rest of my life, can you? Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin, his eyes widened and asked.

"I'm not putting you in charge of this, I mean that if something goes wrong, they can't solve it!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao depressedly and said.

"Then learn, oh, expect me for everything, what do you want them to do? I have already handed over the drawings to the Ministry of Engineering, and if there is a problem, the Ministry of Engineering will repair it, and you can't count on me for anything, and I didn't take the money they gave me! Wei Hao continued to say to Li Shimin,

Li Shimin scratched his head at the moment, wanting to clean up Wei Hao fiercely, this rabbit cub, why is he so unpopular.

"Father, the seal is here, I'll give you the account book, you can't go back!" Wei Hao said that he ran out, went outside, came in with the account book, and piled it on the coffee table.

"Father, and Uncle Wang, now it's all here, you can continue to check the accounts, hehe, it has nothing to do with me!" Wei Hao said to them very happily at the moment.

"Then, who is the person in charge of the iron workshop, you recommend one!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, while Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji both looked at Wei Hao.

"What's the matter with me, it's not my family!" Wei Hao said and drank the tea.

"Bunny, you're going to have to pick someone to take your hands on, right?" Li Shimin scolded at Wei Hao.

"Oh, a few of them are fine, don't worry, they are still very good at doing things, they are people who do practical things, really, they are all good, whether it is Fang Zhizhi or Changsun Chong, or Li Dexian, they are all good, much better than many ministers who command impeachment, they know that they have to do something!" Wei Hao immediately said to Li Shimin,

Li Shimin heard it and nodded.

"My eldest man is probably still a little worse!" Fang Xuanling also said at this moment.

When Wei Hao heard this, he smiled in his heart, and immediately said: "Then you are really wrong, Fang Zhizhi really impressed me, before I went, I was a nerd, but now, it can be said that Father, if Fang Zhizhi is cultivated well, he is also a prime minister!" ”

"Oh!" When Li Shimin heard this, he looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"Shen Yong, don't say that, this kid is too upright in doing things!" Fang Xuanling's heart was happy at the moment, he didn't expect that Wei Hao would actually pick it up and praise his son so much.

"Really, at first, I looked down on him a little, nerd, but after I explained to him about the things that managed and built the house, people also changed a lot, and I knew that it was flexible, and in the minds of those workers, the status was still very high, and I didn't say anything about it.

However, it still needs to be cultivated, father, Fang Yizhi is really good, however, Changsun Chong and Xiao Rui, as well as Gao Zheng are all good, they are all doing practical things, and they have also put a lot of effort into the iron workshop, now you let me choose, how do I choose? All good! Wei Hao sat there and continued.

"Chong'er can't do it either, I'm a little impulsive!" Eldest Sun Wuji said immediately.

"It's ok. Not impulsive, in terms of impulsiveness, can he compare with me? Wei Hao immediately said, it can be regarded as giving the eldest grandson Chong a support, but it is a small support, after all, he has just given Fang Zhizhi.

"He can still compare with you, and his talent is far behind!" The eldest grandson Wuji heard Wei Hao take the words, and said happily.

"Well, okay, then I'll think about it!" Li Shimin nodded at the moment, knowing in his heart that Wei Hao's heart was the candidate, that is, Fang Zhizhi, but Wei Hao said that he should cultivate it well, and Li Shimin didn't know what he meant.

"Then of course you think about it, I don't care about this matter, by the way, you chat, I'll go to my mother's side, and I want to see my mother!" Wei Hao stood up as he spoke, and said to Li Shimin.

"Wait, you're going to eat at your mother's side!" Li Shimin called out to Wei Hao.

"No, father, if you have something, you can just talk, I can't say, remember my queen mother when you eat, go ahead of time!" Wei Hao continued to say to Li Shimin.

"Don't worry, your mother won't think of you like this, really, sit down and talk!" Li Shimin called out to Wei Hao, Wei Hao sat down impatiently, looked at Li Shimin and said, "You are discussing major matters in the court, what are you looking for me?" ”

"You rabbit cub, you are the prince of the country, and national affairs have nothing to do with you, right?" Li Shimin said angrily, and Wei Hao only remembered it at this moment.

"Oh, oh, forgot, that, what's the matter?" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"It's still about the iron mill, do they all understand? Besides, if something happens to the ironshop in the future, you need to go there to help! Also, as I said before, you are supporting all the things in the iron workshop, but you don't have to go every day."

"Don't, father, I didn't agree, what you said last time, I didn't promise, I didn't have time, besides, they did a good job, really, father, you have to believe me and believe them, of course, if there is a problem, I will definitely go!" Wei Hao immediately stopped Li Shimin from continuing, joking, if he wanted to take it off, he would get rid of it.

"You, you, you're mad!" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao and said.

"I don't care, if I take care of it, if something happens at that time, those ministers will impeach me, you will be stupid! Now Wei Zheng's affairs, I haven't talked to him yet, you wait for me to finish the past few days, if he doesn't give me an explanation, you see that I will clean him up! Wei Hao sat there and said loudly, just don't care.

"You! Isn't your Uncle Wang now proving your innocence? Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Do I still need to prove my innocence? Who do you look down on, this money, I still have to convey benefits, if it weren't for this iron mill delaying me to make money, I would have made hundreds of thousands of dollars now, and I would have also delivered benefits!

I won't go to the iron workshop, and besides, I won't do any specific things in the court in the future, I'm afraid of them! If there is nothing to do every day, it is just a mouth cannon! Mouth full of cannons! Wei Hao sat there and said with great disdain.

"Wei Hao, you can't say that, many ministers still admire you, and they also admire your talent and character, you can't say such angry things because of a few people!" Fang Xuanling immediately persuaded Wei Hao and said.

"Then I won't manage it! I'll still manage my own affairs, by the way, father, there is a business, no, forget it, I still won't tell you, I'll tell my mother! Wei Hao thought about it as he spoke, but he still didn't tell Li Shimin,

Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao fiercely, this rabbit cub was deliberately angry with himself, and if he didn't say anything halfway, he could hold back his curiosity.

"What business, let's hear about it!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, the cement business, you haven't seen it, but you can't believe that you can build a city wall with this steel bar, and you can't believe it, and you can also explain that in addition, you can also build roads and bridges, of course, if the straight road is repaired with this, I estimate that it will be broken for hundreds of years! And it's flat, it's easy to walk! Wei Hao sat there and spoke, thinking that there were no big trucks in this era, so it was estimated that they couldn't crush those roads, right?

"Well, cement? Can you build roads, build bridges? Li Shimin heard it, looked at Wei Hao curiously and asked.

"Of course, for example, we need to build a bridge over the Weihe River, right now, do you have a solution?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked. The men shook their heads.

"With cement and steel bars, there is a way, and it can be repaired, but, forget it, I'm just saying, father, whether you come or not, at the beginning, it is estimated that it is not very profitable, but as long as everyone looks at the benefits of this thing, I estimate that there are still a lot of people who use it, my mansion, I am ready to use a lot of cement!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"How much profit is there?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"A business of tens of thousands of dollars a year!" Wei Hao said that he was small, and now he doesn't know if everyone likes to use such things to build houses.

"Well, go talk to your queen mother and see what he means!" Li Shimin thought about it for a while, opened his mouth and said, and then thought of Wei Hao's saying that the city wall was also repaired quickly: "You just said that the city wall is also built quickly?" ”

"Of course, if it's like this, it can be repaired in two or three days, and it's hard to smash!" Wei Hao nodded affirmatively and said.

"Oh, then you get it first, if I see if it's really useful!" Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and said to Wei Hao, if it really has this effect, then the court will definitely purchase it.

"Okay!" Wei Hao nodded, this matter still needs to be asked to Empress Eldest Sun.

"That's right, the school and the library are almost built, and now they are making bookshelves and tables and chairs, so that those students can read well, and the school is almost built now, you have time to take a look, what is still missing, hurry up, I plan to start recruiting students at the end of July, and at the same time, the library will also be open to those students." Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Forget it, let's leave it to the Emperor Taishang to be responsible, I'll forget it, I'm afraid of being impeached!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Rabbit cub, you just said that I don't talk about credit, and now you don't talk about credit yourself, right?" Li Shimin heard it, and shouted at Wei Hao.

"The point is, they impeach me, if I do something more, won't they impeach me again?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin very depressed and said.

"Wouldn't you just not do those impeachable things? Isn't it okay to cause less trouble for me? Li Shimin also stared at Wei Hao and shouted loudly.

"Father, the conscience of heaven and earth, when did I cause trouble, they came to find fault, the more sons and daughters do, the more they will be impeached, but the sons have figured it out, don't do anything, it's best, this will also delay them to get rich, and it will not delay their promotion, so that they can be happy, and sons are also happy.

Anyway, it's better to do more than to do less, and it's better not to do less than to do less, and now the court is like this, I'm not stupid, I won't learn from them? Wei Hao immediately shouted at Li Shimin there,

When Li Shimin heard it, he was also stunned for a moment.

"Is there still such a atmosphere in the court?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling as he spoke.

"This is not available, Wei Hao, don't talk nonsense!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately said to Wei Hao.

"This, there are still such signs, after all, many ministers only know about it, but they really don't know how to deal with specific things, for example, this drought, everyone has no way, including the old man, there is no way, it still depends on Wei Hao, so what Wei Hao said may not be wrong!" Fang Xuanling also said beside him,

And Li Xiaogong on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately said: "That's it, don't hide it from Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just think about it, in the past few years, what have those ministers done, straight road, until now, it has not been repaired, but it has been repaired around Chang'an, I don't understand, is it so difficult to build a road?" The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs are still arguing! ”

"Huh? Haven't fixed it yet? When Li Shimin heard this, he looked at Li Xiaogong in surprise, and then looked at the other ministers.

"It's just to repair the surroundings of Chang'an!" Lee Hyo-gyong continued.

"Why is it so slow?" Li Shimin was a little unhappy at the moment, and immediately stared at Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister also went to understand, mainly because the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry have not yet negotiated, and in terms of work, the prefectures and counties have not coordinated well, so it is still stagnant!" Fang Xuanling immediately said to Li Shimin.

"What's so hard about this?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling very incomprehensibly.

"Your Majesty, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs pays for the construction of roads, but the wages of the workers are paid by the prefectures and counties, but some prefectures and counties have no money, hoping to let those people serve labor, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not agree to such a plan, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is willing to pay half of the labor money, and the other prefectures and counties are out, and the prefectures and counties still have no way to come out, so the matter is deadlocked here!" Fang Xuanling sat there and spoke.

"On the part of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, have you started to save even this money?" Li Shimin stared at Fang Xuanling and said.

"This, not to say saving money, since ancient times, the construction of straight roads has been a need for the county to work, but now don't you want to ask those people to work? Therefore, the prefecture and county that I believe have no money, and if it is said that it is going to be forced labor, it is not now, it is all after the agricultural work is done! Fang Xuanling explained to Li Shimin again.

"Hmm!" Li Shimin heard it, mumbled, and said with a sigh.

"Then you have to do things according to this method, I estimate that a straight road can't be repaired in thirty or fifty years, eh, I'm wondering, why is this thing not impeached, why just stare at me?" Wei Hao looked at Fang Xuanling and them as he spoke.

Fang Xuanling and the others also smiled bitterly, what did they say.

"Don't they think I'm a bully, father, they bully me!" Wei Hao immediately shouted at Li Shimin,

Li Shimin heard it, that headache, who dares to really bully him, don't die, let's not say that he doesn't agree, is Wei Hao's character, is he the kind of lord who is honestly bullied? The rabbit was complaining that he hadn't spoken for him in the first place.

"Well, the matter of the straight road, they will start construction within ten days, Gao Ming!" Li Shimin sat there and spoke. "Erchen is here!" Li Chengqian immediately stood up and said.

"You supervise this matter, if it doesn't work, it should be investigated!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Ah, this, yes!" When Li Chengqian heard this, he had a headache, he hadn't taken care of this matter before, and now he suddenly let himself take over.

"Okay, is there anything else? If there is nothing else to do, we must seize the time to fight the drought and make sure that as many grain fields as possible are not reduced by the drought! Li Shimin said to them.

"Yes!" Those people immediately bowed their hands and said, and then they said goodbye, and Wei Hao also accompanied Li Shimin and Gao Ming to the side of the Lizheng Palace, when he was on the road, Wei Hao felt that the sun was not good, but he was quite used to it.

"Hao'er, tell me, who do you like the most over there in the iron mill?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao.

"Father, aren't you embarrassing me?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin helplessly.

"Fang Zhizhi?" Li Shimin continued.

"It's okay, but if he stays in the ironshop for too long, I'm worried about wasting his talent!" Wei Hao said in the back.

"That's him, starting from him, the iron workshop can't let one person control it for a long time, including the craftsmen inside, it also needs to be changed every few years, the matter of the iron workshop is very important, it is related to the court, and now the Ministry of Industry is using your iron to make weapons and armor in large quantities!

There's no shortage of iron this year! The Ministry of Industry received 200,000 catties at once, which is the annual output of Datang in previous years, which is enough for them to use for a while, but when will the private sales of those irons be considered? Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"It's simple, it's become a sales department, under the management of the iron mill, set up a point in each big city, sell it to the outside world, and then the people come to buy it, if it's a remote area, I believe there will be merchants selling it!" Wei Hao followed Li Shimin and said.

"Well, that's going to work?" Li Shimin thought about it for a moment and asked.

"Then what else can I do, do I need to sell it directly to those big businessmen? In this case, the iron bought by the people will be more expensive, this iron, the court should not have made the people's money, but just said that now the cost needs to be recovered, otherwise the ministers want to sell it at cost price, and forget it for a pound or two! Wei Hao said in the back, Li Shimin heard it and nodded.
