Chapter 384 Qin Huaidao realized that those pig iron workshops and salt workshops were not controlled by Tang Jian at all, but the person in charge of the workshop.

"If there are no problems and no one manages it, will it work? Who agrees with such a way of management? Qin Huaidao is very strange, such a management loophole, no one has plugged it, and it continues to let them exist for more than ten years, or even longer.

"No way, the craftsmen are all from the family, and the officials are also from the family, no one can blame this, just blame the family for controlling too many things." Ma Zhou sat there, shook his head and sighed,

Qin Huaidao listened, and didn't say much, carefully pondered how Li Shimin wanted to deal with this matter, and really let himself accept it, whether it was a trivial matter to offend many people, the key was that he really moved too many interests, some people would really take risks, and he really couldn't lie in this troubled water.

And at this moment, in Wu Mei's small courtyard, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang also came over, when they just gave birth to the two children before, they also sent gifts, and today, they also came here to take a look.

This morning, Wu Yuanqing went to court, but he went to court as a national prince, and basically didn't speak in the court, and now he also has a position, an official from the sixth grade of the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Yuanshuang is an official from the seventh grade of the Ministry of Officials,

Anyway, they have an identity, although the level is very low, but at least there is an extra income, which is the result of Qin Huaidao interceding with them.

"A few days ago, I heard the master say that you all already have official positions, so do a good job, and don't expect to be an official, you still don't have this ability. Read more books and less involved in other things. The income of the house is not high, so save some flowers! Wu Mei sat there, looked at the two Wu Yuanqing brothers and said,

The two of them also nodded, and Liu Er was making tea for them.

"Second sister, now your brother and they are all coming back after the last court, no, I informed us early in the morning, asking us to wait for him, saying that after the next court, I want to come and see the second sister, there were many guests in the Qin Mansion before, and it was inconvenient for us to come, plus Hu Guogong was also busy, I wanted to thank him personally, but I didn't expect that Hu Guogong was still not in the house." The sister-in-law looked at Wu Mei and said with a smile.

Wu Mei nodded with a smile and said: "The master has been very busy during this time, after practicing martial arts early in the morning, come to see Han'er and Yu'er, and don't come back until the evening, and after reading Han'er and Yu'er, I go to the study to read.

Listening to the steward, during this time, many officials wanted to ask to see the master, but the master was not available, even if he couldn't see him, the master came back, and I would tell the master. ”

"Yes, thank you second sister, a few days ago, someone also came to me, hoping that I would come to Hu Guogong and say that it was about pig iron and salt, but I didn't dare to agree." Wu Yuanqing looked at Wu Mei with a smile and said.

"Pig iron and table salt? Well? You are not allowed to participate in it, the water in it is very deep, I also heard from Mrs. Talk, the master does not dare to participate in it, you young people are involved, whoever comes to you about this matter, you must refuse. When Wu Mei heard this, she frowned, thinking about what Li Lixian said two days ago, and immediately reminded them to say it.

"I know, why don't you come over and tell you, there are many people outside who are staring at Hu Guogong's movements, they are afraid that Hu Guogong is like being on the side of the Ministry of Industry, checking the accounts, and then arresting a wave of people to ask for beheading,

Therefore, they all wanted to know Hu Guogong's attitude, and some people came to inquire about me, and I said I don't know, how do I know, I haven't seen Hu Guogong for a long time. Wu Yuanqing immediately nodded and said,

He didn't dare to provoke such a thing, he had heard such news outside, and the water was very deep.

Early this morning, Li Shimin was angry, he also saw it, and after the next court, many civil officials sighed, and he also understood that His Majesty was probably going to do it, so he stayed away from this matter as much as possible.

"Well, it's good to know, but don't get carried away because of a little profit, this matter, the master doesn't know much, now the master is busy with the affairs of the university, and there is also the matter of the Ministry of Works." Wu Mei reminded them again and said,

Soon, Wu Yuanqing and the others went out, and before leaving, they looked at the two children again, saying that they would come over next time, and they would go to Yang's mansion later.

At noon, Qin Huaidao actually returned to the house, because Qin Huaidao had no class in the afternoon, and such a big thing happened in the court, Qin Huaidao also needed to know the news, so he came back early.

After finishing eating at the mansion, Qin Huaidao went to the mansion of the Duke of Eguo.

"You kid, why are you so busy? It's hard for the old man to invite you to a meal. Wei Chi Jingde saw Qin Huaidao coming over, and pointed at Qin Huaidao and said reproachfully.

"What my uncle said is that this nephew is really too busy, otherwise, my nephew invites you to go to Qinfu Restaurant for a meal?" Qin Huaidao leaned over with a smile and said.

"Don't go, I just finished eating at noon, next time, anyway, I heard Pauline say, the box you use is quite good, the old man wants to go and see,

A few days ago, the old man went to the Qinfu Restaurant, and he designated the box, and you in charge of the affairs did not agree to die, and kowtowed to me, saying that it was ordered by the princess, and they did not dare to call the shots.

I didn't embarrass him, knowing that Princess Chengyang was reserved for you, but I was worried that you would suddenly have a treat, and I was worried that there would be no private room. Wei Chi Jingde walked forward with his hands behind his back,

Qin Huaidao followed behind, and said in a little surprise after hearing this: "Ah, there are such things, no, after my nephew goes back, tell them that my uncle is going, whatever the box you want." ”

"Excuse me, that's fine, otherwise, I'll use it, and the other princes will go and specify the box, what should I do? To give or not to give?

That box, you still want to use it, Qinfu Restaurant, when will there be no Guogong, Wangye, Hou Ye please eat? I, Captain Chi Jingde, can't even get in, and any of them are still qualified to enter, except for Your Majesty, of course. Wei Chi Jingde waved his hand and said, not wanting to cause trouble to Qin Huaidao.

"Hehe, then, next time you want to go to dinner, you take me there, and I can give you a free order!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile in the back.

"You kid, the old man can't afford to eat, and he still takes advantage of his nephew?" Wei Chi Jingde smiled and pointed at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"Yes, yes, didn't my nephew want to take you in and have a look?" Qin Huaidao immediately said with a smile.

"Well, next time, next time you invite the old man to go." Wei Chi Jingde said with a smile, he didn't care if he couldn't get in,

It's impossible for me to make things difficult for my nephew's family, and I don't make things difficult for myself, who would dare to make things difficult? Soon, the two of them arrived in the study,

It's July now, and it's the hottest time of the year, and there are also family members in Wei Chi Jingde's study carrying ice cubes in, which is a lot cooler.

"It's about pig iron and paper mills, right?" After Wei Chi Jingde waited for the family to go out, he looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and asked, and then began to wash those tea sets.

"Yes, my nephew also heard the news at the university, so I came over to ask my uncle, for pig iron and salt, my nephew has never been in contact with it before, and I really don't understand the twists and turns in it." Qin Huaidao nodded and admitted, I came here today to ask Wei Chi Jingde.

"Hmph, pig iron and salt, let the people of the family make a lot of money, and the two mouthfuls of food are flowing with oil, it is simply drinking the blood of the court and the people, Your Majesty will not move, you must have said something to Your Majesty, right?" Wei Chi Jingde looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"I really didn't say anything, uncle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to me and said that he wanted me to manage these two affairs, but I didn't agree, I was busy, so I refused." Qin Huaidao looked at Yu Chi Jingde seriously and said.

When Wei Chi Jingde heard it, he also pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, if you don't say anything to Your Majesty, how dare Your Majesty move this?" Your Majesty didn't know it before, he didn't move before, he just endured it, why do you move these two pieces now? ”

Wei Chi Jingde couldn't understand it, Li Shimin had known about this matter for a long time, but there was no way, those two things, that is, the people of the family would be, and other people would not at all, and His Majesty also asked them,

But now, it seems that Li Shimin has confidence, where does this confidence come from, before Wei Chi Jingde thought it was from Qin Huaidao, but Qin Huaidao said no, which made him puzzled.

"Uncle, I really didn't promise anything, and besides, I haven't entered the palace for a while." Qin Huaidao said affirmatively to Yu Chi Jingde again.

"Well, that's weird." Wei Chi Jingde sat there, frowned and said, then looked at Qin Huaidao and asked, "You tell the old man what the prince said to you, as well as what you said, and the old man wants to see what went wrong." ”

"Eh, uncle, I'll teach you a lesson." Qin Huaidao said and immediately told him about Li Chengqian's coming to see him that day.

"Oh, you, you didn't just say no, but you said you were busy?" Wei Chi Jingde looked at Qin Huaidao and said anxiously.

"Well, yes, I mean I'm busy. Shhhh Qin Huaidao was thinking about it at the moment, and Li Shimin also thought that he would just be busy now and not do it.

"Oh, you, hey, how good is it for you to refuse directly? The water is deep in here. Wei Chi Jingde blamed Qin Huaidao and said.

"I, I didn't think about it, it's just two workshops, how difficult it is, now I know that the water inside is very deep." Qin Huaidao also said a little depressed.

"Now the question is, will you or won't? If not, you'll be in trouble. Who will clean up this stall then? Wei Chi Jingde looked at Qin Huaidao and asked,

This is the key, don't wait for Li Shimin to finish his work, let Qin Huaidao come out, Qin Huaidao can't solve it, then it's really troublesome, so now Wei Chi Jingde wants to know, Qin Huaidao will or won't?
