The etiquette of entering the palace this time, Yuan Pei had already talked to Li Hao alone, and what Li Hao learned on weekdays also included etiquette, so naturally there would be no embarrassment like Cheng Shaoshang when he entered the palace for the first time.

After Li Hao and Yuan Pei saluted, they were given a seat and sat opposite the crown prince and the third prince.

After looking at Li Hao for a while, Emperor Wen said to Yuan Pei with a smile: "The Qing family is really a blessing, the eldest son is famous, and now he has entered the door of Huangfuyi, and he will be a capable minister in the future; The second son also has the ability to help the needy, and the last time General Wan reported on it, he mentioned that your second son led the troops to suppress the thieves, but he didn't expect that in addition to martial arts, he could also make such a divine object as a quyuan plow. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Pei said modestly: "Your Majesty praises falsely, if you want to say blessings, the prince is gentle and dignified, known as virtuous, and the third prince is also a brave and upright person, Your Majesty has a son like this, and the blessing is far better than the minister, and it should be the minister who congratulates His Majesty." ”

This sycophant was slapped, Emperor Wen was comfortable listening to it, anyway, from Li Hao's point of view, Emperor Wen's mouth was about to crack with laughter.

But it's not easy to shoot this sycophant, first of all, you have to have two talented sons in your own family, otherwise what do you do to set off other people's demeanor.

If you want to replace the base with the uncompetitive sons of Mrs. Lou, it is estimated that Emperor Wen will only be angry when he hears it, and he feels that he has been insulted.

In addition, you have to be more familiar with Emperor Wen, otherwise it will be too abrupt to say this.

After Emperor Wen laughed, he turned to Li Hao and asked: "Your name is Yuan Ang, it is said that at your age, you should not have to work in the fields, how did you think of improving the plow." ”

Facing Emperor Wen's questioning, Li Hao replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I dare not deceive, the main reason for improving the plough is the lack of money." ”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, especially Emperor Wen turned his head directly to look at Yuan Pei, and found that he was also embarrassed, and suddenly smiled even happier.

Asked: "Yes, you are a dignified son of the Yuan family, and you can still lack money, tell me carefully." ”

Li Hao replied: "This time, I exterminated the traitors with the family and got some booty, so I thought of putting a few Zhuangzi for myself to take care of.

My father was also enlightened, and when he heard my ideas, he helped me with a few Zhuangzi, and also gave me some slaves and maidservants at a discount, but as soon as I got it, my purse was empty.

But this newly acquired Zhuangzi also needs money and food to operate, but I said that I didn't need my father's help, so I couldn't pull this face, so I had to figure it out by myself.

It was spring ploughing at that time, and there were people plowing the fields everywhere, which just happened to give me an idea, so many fields in the world need to be cultivated, if you can make a plough that is better than the one used now, how much silver can you make.

At that time, I didn't think how difficult this would be, so I directly gathered a group of craftsmen and experienced old farmers, and the result was that I really made this curved plough with the joint efforts. ”

"I didn't expect the birth of this Quyuan plow, and there is such a story, so how are you earning money now?" Emperor Wen asked with a smile on his face.

Li Hao replied: "No, after the Quyuan plough was made, it was only sold in the clan, and then it was seen by my father and verified the efficacy himself.

After that, my father said that this thing is a thing that can benefit the country and the people, and it should not be used to make money, but should be given to Your Majesty as soon as possible, so that your Majesty's power can spread this thing all over the world.

In this way, the people will be able to cultivate more and more fields, and the harvest will be more and more, and then the people will not be hungry, and the world will naturally be stable, and this is much more important than me going to earn money. ”

"The Qing family said well, the world needs officials like the Qing family who take the people to heart, just for this, you and I should drink it today."

After saying something to Yuan Pei, Emperor Wen continued to say to Li Hao: "As for you, don't be disappointed, I will reward you with a generous sum of money and silver to ensure that you can run the manor."

In addition, I will allocate you two villages in the Shaofu, which have already been adjusted, and you just need to collect the rent, which is good. ”

Li Hao replied: "This is naturally very good, thank you for your grace." ”

Then Emperor Wen arranged for the crown prince and the third prince to take Li Hao to the side hall to speak, and he left Yuan Pei alone.

In the side hall, Li Hao looked at the two brothers who are still quite close now, and then thought of the matter of the three princes deliberately digging a pit for this in the future, and could only sigh that the world is impermanent.

It is said that in terms of personality, the third prince may indeed be more suitable for that throne, after all, if the current situation is unstable today, it really needs a decisive person to rule the world.

But for the courtiers, it may not be the case, think about the original Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, thirteen prime ministers in succession, four committed suicide, three were killed, the probability of suffering a catastrophe is more than half, and the rest of them are not all able to die well.

Therefore, for the courtiers, it is not a good thing for an emperor who is too strong, so if Li Hao really becomes an official in the future, he must also hope to let the prince ascend the throne.

As for his so-called personality defects, there are naturally other ways to make up for them, it's a big deal that Li Hao helped him do all the work, anyway, he did it when Li Hao assisted Zhao Zonghan.

Of course, there is no urgency in this matter anyway, and I don't know what the situation will be in ten years.

Now Li Hao is chatting with the two anyway, it just so happens that these two people have not left the capital for a long time now, and they are also very interested in hearing the scenery stories of Li Hao along the road.

After chatting until a palace maid came to inform Yanxi to start, Li Hao was able to stop, and Li Hao couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect that he was also quite suitable as a tour guide.

After the banquet in the palace, Li Hao returned to the Yuan Mansion with Yuan Pei, this time Li Hao and Yuan Pei finally enjoyed the VIP treatment that went straight to the Xuanming Palace, and got into the carriage from outside the Xuanming Palace, so they didn't have to go so far.

When the carriage left the palace, Yuan Pei asked, "Why did you say this to Your Majesty today, didn't I explain my words to you!" ”

Li Hao replied: "What you asked me to say is some great truth, which seems to be said by a person of my age."

If Your Majesty is an old-fashioned and conservative person, today I will follow my father's explanation, but today, my Majesty is not like this, so naturally I should change the way.

And what's the use of me asking for this credit now, it's better to attribute it to my father's name, so that it is the best choice for the Yuan family. ”

"You're clever, but before you do anything in the future, talk to me in advance, and try not to make your own decisions, you know?" Yuan Pei said.

"Don't worry, father, the child understands." Li Hao responded obediently, and then changed the topic: "By the way, just now Your Majesty left your father alone to speak, what did you say, but you are about to be promoted?" ”

"That's true, my family has been suppressed for all these years, and it can be regarded as letting the old ministers around His Majesty gain a firm foothold.

Now it's time for me to wait for the family to contribute, and it happens that with the introduction of Quyuan plow, we can arrange it.

Your Majesty is going to let me go to Xuzhou to serve as a pastor and co-preside over the extermination of the Xuzhou bandits, and your cousin is estimated to be requisitioned after a while, and then he should also be sent to the local government to serve as the state pastor.

Only the Qu family is a pity, the adult sons of the family have lost everything, and there is not even a person who can enter the office, and now even the position of the crown princess has been snatched away by others. ”

After Yuan Pei finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and sighed that the world is impermanent.

And in Li Hao's heart, why didn't he think so, the result of the prince marrying the Sun family was that the three of them were not happy.

It's a pity that there aren't many things he can do in this matter, whether it is to prevent the prince from marrying the Sun family, or to prevent Qu Lengjun from marrying into the Liang family.

That is, his cousin's uncle is still alive now, otherwise it would be best to secretly make trouble, and let him marry Qu Lengjun.

In addition, this move also made the prince lose the best opportunity to get the help of the family, otherwise if he married Qu Lengjun, he could rely on the strength of the Qu family, the Liang family, and the Yuan family, and he would not end up with only two or three big cats and kittens around him.

Therefore, when Emperor Wen asked the prince to marry Sun, he really just remembered the original promise, or did he have scruples about the power of the family, and the specific situation may really only be known to the parties concerned.

At this time, the purpose of Yuan Pei's trip has been completed, and all that is left is to wait for the edict appointing Yuan Pei as the pastor of Xuzhou, and then he can return to Jiaodong.

After all, Xuzhou is under Jiaodong, which is also a good way, and Yuan Pei also needs to go back to gather his subordinates and staff to go to work together.

Before leaving, Li Hao's arrangements for the Cheng family could start to prepare, in order not to let Yuan Pei notice that he was so concerned about a military general's family.

Therefore, Li Hao's arrangements were all officially made after he left.

It happened that Cheng Shi was in Xuzhou to suppress bandits, and after Yuan Pei took office, it was much more convenient for Li Hao to reveal the news to Cheng Shi.

After Li Hao and his entourage waited in the capital for ten days, Yuan Pei's edict of appointment finally came down, and the Zhuang Yuan and money and silver that were rewarded to Li Hao were also handed over to Li Hao.

Zhuangyuan is all well-conditioned fields and forests, and the location is near the capital, which is much more expensive than his manor in Jiaodong.

It's just that it's really too far away, and Li Hao can't take care of it, so he only arranges some people to take care of the accounts, and the original people are still responsible for other things.

As for the money and silver, Li Hao didn't bring it with him, he left it in the capital first, anyway, he would be able to use it sooner or later, so as not to transport it back with the laborers.

After a toss, Li Hao and Yuan Pei embarked on the road back to Jiaodong, basically according to the route they came, but now there is no heavy cargo in the team, the overall speed has increased a lot, and it only took more than 20 days to get home.

At this time, the elders of the family had already received the news and knew that Yuan Pei was appointed as the pastor of Xuzhou, and they were very happy, and congratulated Yuan Pei on his good life in the clan.

Of course, in addition to celebrating, it is to mobilize the talented people and the most elite troops in the clan for Yuan Pei, and the other is to contact the local scholars in Xuzhou to open up the relationship.

Li Hao also saw this kind of operation, and couldn't help but sigh, it is really easy for this family to do things, and all aspects can be arranged for you.

After staying at home for a few days, Yuan Pei didn't wait any longer, after all, the task given by Emperor Wen was to eliminate the bandits in Xuzhou as soon as possible, and it was not good to delay for a long time.

However, before leaving, Yuan Pei found Li Hao and said: "This time you made a Quyuan plow, I can be regarded as benefiting from it, although Your Majesty gave a reward, but I also prepared a copy for you." ”

Having said that, Li Hao's interest also came, after all, he had something to take, how could he not be happy.

I only heard Yuan Pei say: "Throughout the past few years of schoolwork, I am proficient in archers and horses, and I also have my own understanding of the battle formation, so I think I am more interested in martial arts."

So I found you a veteran as a master, and taught you the knowledge of commanding troops and battles, and I am with you five in the manor, and the part will also be made up to 2,000.

You don't have to worry about the money you have to spend, if you can't get it out for the time being, I'll ask my mother to make it up to you, and then it will be deducted directly from the money in the capital. ”

Hearing this, Li Hao was still quite happy, after all, the war in the Han Dynasty was indeed different from that of the Song Dynasty, and Li Hao also needed a teacher to bring him to familiarize himself.

And having more estates and ministries also means that Li Hao has more autonomy, which is indeed a good thing.

After Yuan Pei brought the people and stared at the handover of the people and the manor, he hurried to Xuzhou to take office.

In the days that followed, Li Hao became particularly busy, after all, the original six arts of a gentleman could not be put down, which was equivalent to adding the course of military science.

In addition, this manor and the ministry also have to worry about Li Hao from time to time, after all, Li Hao has no available people in his hands, so he can't help but be busy all day.

In the end, the Liang family couldn't stand it anymore, so they allocated a few of Li Hao's cronies to listen to it, plus the small leader promoted by Li Hao from below, and slowly stabilized the manor and the tribe.

As for Qian Yin, Li Hao also found a way to make money for himself, that is, to make glass.

In fact, after Li Hao's special understanding during this time, it was found that there were products similar to glass in the Han Dynasty, but because of process problems, the output was low, the quality was not good, and the transparency was not high.

So Li Hao spent a lot of money, and also used the face of the Yuan family to dig up a glass craftsman, and then made a series of improvements in the production process of glass.

Of course, Li Hao did not directly develop in the direction of modern glass, after all, the aesthetics of the two eras are somewhat different, and if you want to fool the children of the family to spend money here, you have to take one that conforms to their aesthetics.

And even if he could break them over, Li Hao didn't plan to do it, after all, it was enough to earn it only once, and Li Hao also planned to cut leeks a few more times.

Yuanjia glaze became popular as soon as it was launched, after all, compared with other people's products, Yuan's family is far beyond in terms of color and luster.

Therefore, the products that are basically transported to various states and counties through caravans can not wait for the next day to be sold out.

When they got to the back, many people simply wanted to make an appointment with the Yuan family.

However, of course Li Hao refused, originally this glass was a luxury, if everyone could get it, this grade would undoubtedly be lowered.

Therefore, Li Hao did not plan to satisfy the market, but to use hunger marketing to raise the grade of his own products and create heat in the market.

For a time, Li Hao obtained a large amount of money and grain with the help of glaze, and completely got rid of the lack of money.
