Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 281 Anxiety
Chapter 277

When Wei Hao returned to the mansion, he found that the brothers-in-law had come, and the older sisters were also chatting with their mother in the backyard.

"I can't help it. I'm sunbathing outside every day. Can it not be dark? Come on, sit down and make tea!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile,

Then I went to the tea set in the living room and made tea for them. They all sat here too. After Wei Hao made the tea, he divided it among them.

"Little brother, there are many places in the house that I can't build, that is, small buildings with [-] floors and [-]% of the building. There is no way at all. You said before that new building materials should be used, but what kind of materials are they? Now, I can only Downtime.

Just build those small courtyards, and one-story houses. In addition, are there any problems with your designs? Why are the windows so big?Also, those windows, how to install the windows and doors then? "Second brother-in-law Wang Qixian looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, you are building first, do what you can do first, and wait for the rest, don't you have bricks now? Dad said to build a warehouse. Let me see where to build it. After all, this The warehouse is not small, let's go in the afternoon!" Wei Hao said to Wang Qixian.

"Sure, I'll start construction first. In addition, the entire mansion needs a lot of flowers, plants, rockery, and flowing water. I don't know how to do this! I went to the market to inquire about the price, and I can't say it. Some are very expensive. Expensive, some are very cheap, but you can’t tell which one is better!” Wang Qixian sat there and continued talking.

"Well, let me come. I'll go to the Royal Garden to get some at that time!" Wei Hao thought for a while, and said proudly, as he said before, Li Shimin didn't let him, and he had to dig if he didn't let him. What a beautiful plant, if I don't dig it myself, I'm sorry for myself. Li Shimin disagrees, so I go to my mother, she will definitely agree.

"Okay, as long as you can get it yourself, I don't know how to look at those things." Wang Qixian nodded with a smile and said,

For the construction of Wei Hao's mansion, he was under a lot of pressure. There were too many houses. Hundreds of people dug the foundations alone, and it took them a month. There are still a lot of carpenters doing things, many windows and corridors need to be carved, and now there are more than 50 carpenters working in Wei Hao's mansion, all of which need to be watched by Wang Qixian,

Of course, the other brothers-in-law will also go there, after all, Wei Haojian's mansion, they are free, it is impossible not to help.

At noon, after Wei Hao and those brother-in-laws had dinner in the living room, they chatted with their sisters, and then went to his new mansion, and all the brothers-in-law accompanied them, fearing that Wei Hao might have some orders, Wei Hao Hao turned to Tianhe in his new mansion, confessed some things, and went back.

The next morning, Wei Hao didn't go anywhere, he just lay at home and slept late, tired for so many days, and didn't want to go anywhere, and Wei Furong didn't call Wei Hao, knowing that Wei Hao was tired,

In the afternoon, Wei Hao set off, and this time he brought a lot of things. When he arrived at the iron workshop, Wei Hao went straight to the iron workshop production area to see how the parts and kilns were doing. ?Turned around and returned to the place where I lived.

"Shen Yong, um, the house is finished, otherwise, why don't you live in the new house tomorrow?" Fang Yizhi and the others came over when they heard that Wei Hao was back. Fang Yizhi first said to Wei Hao.

"Sixteen rooms have been built in the past two days, and eight rooms can be built every day. The old man will move there tomorrow, and we will move there tomorrow, so you can go too!" Fang Yi said straight to Wei Hao.

"Okay!" Wei Hao nodded. If they don't go by themselves, they are too embarrassed to go. It is indeed too small and very broken. It was leaking last time when it rained. Now that they have a new house, they must want to to live.

"Shen Yong, we've almost done the things here, there's nothing else to do, I'm finishing up soon!" Chang Sun Chong looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, when you're done, go to the production area. You also need to know about the construction and operation of those kilns, Fang Yizhi!" Wei Hao called Fang Yizhi as he spoke. The most important thing is that if he is allowed to supervise the work here, it is estimated that he will not be able to finish it in three months.

"Shen Yong, tell me!" Fang Yi asked, looking straight at Wei Hao.

"Now you go to those houses for a long time, is there any problem?" Wei Hao looked at Fang Yi and asked straight away.

"No problem. In fact, those workers know how to do it. As long as the materials are ready, I will basically go around in the morning, arrange things, go to see at noon, and go to see at night. Add up, no need An hour." Fang Yizhi immediately said to Wei Hao with a smile, now that he is familiar with the road, he is not so tired.

"Come on, after you inspect this side every day, it's time to go to production. You go to inspect it a quarter of an hour earlier every day. The things in the production area are also very important. I think you all know it in your heart. I don't want to worry about such things.

And you really need such an opportunity. After all, you want to be high officials, but I don’t want to. Here, His Majesty told me that the person in charge here must be at least from the fourth rank. The key is to have great power.

And, hey, if you really want to make money, there is a lot of oil and water. However, I don’t recommend that you get money from here, it’s not worth it, but it’s good to use this as a springboard. , The next step is to enter the court as a servant.

A person in charge and three assistants are needed here. That is to say, out of ten of you, only four can be left. His Majesty,

However, I believe that as long as you go out from here and put it outside, you will be a good hand. There will definitely be a lot of big projects in the court in the future, and you are the first choice for those big projects. Therefore, Those who were not selected, I believe His Majesty will make proper arrangements, and the minimum will not be lower than the fifth rank, which is quite good! "Wei Hao smiled at them and said, they all laughed when they heard it.

"I still want to thank you. Before I came, I really didn't know that there would be so many things in such a construction site. Moreover, dealing with those ordinary people is both difficult and simple. The difficulty lies in sometimes you reason with them It’s really useless, the simple thing is, just show your heart, have the money, and don’t bully others, they can arrange all your affairs!" Fang Yi said to Wei Hao with a straight smile.

"Your progress is the greatest!" Wei Hao looked at Fang Yi with a smile and said with a smile,

Fang Yi heard it straight away, and was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Wei Hao puzzled.

"Before, I was full of bookishness and even arrogance. Now it is more normal. I hope you can learn from your father, Uncle Fang. Uncle Fang is not an ordinary person. I hope you can also have the opportunity to be a left servant." Servant shot." Wei Hao said to Fang Yi with a smile,
When Fang Yi heard it, he immediately waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to think about such a thing, I just think that it would be nice to be able to do something, other things, I dare not think about it!"

"Well, you are all good, do it well!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile.

"However, you are still amazing, really, I admire you!" Xiao Rui said at the moment giving Wei Hao a thumbs up.

"Me? You can pull it off, let's stop boasting to each other here, it's boring, come, drink tea!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile, and then greeted them to drink tea.

"In other words, drinking tea every day, you have made us miserable. Now that there is no tea for a day, it is completely unaccustomed to you. See if this works. You are the person in charge of this iron workshop, and we work for you. , Good job, give us some tea cups of tea, this tea table will not be used, we can find a carpenter when we go home, and we can make it!" Zhang Sun Chong looked at Wei Hao and asked with a smile.

"What's the big deal for me? That's all. That's fine. Each person will have a set of tea sets. In addition, each person will have 20 catties of black tea and 20 catties of green tea. The best tea is fine!" Wei Hao smiled at them. Said.

"Okay!" When those people heard that Wei Hao was so generous, they immediately applauded and agreed.
Wei Hao smiled, and said, "It's because you have done a good job. You really did a good job. Otherwise, I wouldn't give it to you. Don't worry, work hard. Your Majesty will probably get more rewards!"

They also laughed. Now the court attaches great importance to this iron workshop and has invested a lot of manpower and material resources.

For the next period of time, Wei Hao and the others were busy working in the iron workshop production area every day. Wei Hao also told them the principle of the operation of these machines. , Wei Hao needs to keep the blueprints of these machines here so that the maintenance personnel here can do them.

On this day, when the first stove was in trial operation, Wei Hao and the others also got up early.

"Wake up so early?" Wei Hao just got up to practice martial arts, and found that they were all up.

"Then can you sleep?" Fang Yi walked straight to Wei Hao's side, and said with a wry smile.

"Don't practice too. I see you practice every day. Let's take a day off. We don't know what to do. We've been here for more than two months. Just for this, I don't know if it's okay?" Chang Sun Chong stood there, A look of anxiety.

"Close your crow's mouth, can you do it? What is it? Ah, that's okay. In the past two months, we haven't even been back to Chang'an City. We are here every day. For what? Just for this iron!" Xiao Rui said while staring at Chang Sun Chong.

"If you can't talk, don't talk!" Fang Yizhi also gave Chang Sun Chong a look and said, now they are very familiar, after all, we are together every day, we discuss things together, play cards together, drink tea together , has become an iron buddy.

"I was wrong, am I wrong?" Zhang Sun Chong immediately surrendered and said, but he couldn't help them.

"It's not a big problem. According to my budget, the output of the road is 20 catties. However, for the first time, I didn't dare to burn that much, so I will burn 10 catties. The coal and so on have already been shipped over!" Wei Hao stood there, smiled and said.

"Don't say 10 catties, it's 20 catties. We are better than other iron workshops. The Chaotang Iron Workshop in the entire Tang Dynasty costs 4 catties a year. According to your design, our furnace will be fired twice a month. The iron is 40 catties a month, and nearly 8 catties a year. We have 300 stoves here, which is about [-] million catties, which is much better than them!" Fang Yi stood there, also Said a little arrogantly,

Now the living area is very well built. The houses are row by row. The craftsmen are all assigned to live in the house, and the workers are also assigned to it. It’s just a house for 4 people, and a room for two people. I am very satisfied with the living conditions, and I am very grateful to Wei Hao and the others, so now they are working very hard.

"Why don't we just burn [-] catties?" Chang Sun Chong looked at Wei Hao and asked tentatively. The other people also looked at Wei Hao, and they also wanted to be on the safe side.

"Don't worry, I designed this iron furnace with a maximum capacity of 15 jin. We only burn 5 jin. But now we are trying to run [-] jin. It is already one-third of the capacity. No problem!" Wei Hao He waved his hands, knowing that they were worried, but Wei Hao was still very satisfied with the things he designed, all of which were calculated by himself.

"Okay, listen to you, you know those things, and we don't understand them. Although we know how those machines work, but, hey, I just can't figure it out. How did you figure it out?" Chang Sun Chong sighed and admired Said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, let's go, let's have breakfast early, after we're done, let's check it again!" Wei Hao thought that he would not practice martial arts anymore, so he had to finish eating early, and then went to check the machines.

But at this moment, Li Shimin couldn't sleep at the Palace of Ganlu either. Yesterday Wei Hao sent someone to send news that today, he was going to try to make iron, [-] jin of iron at a time.

"Your Majesty, why did you wake up?" Wang De also hurried over to serve Li Shimin when he heard that Li Shimin got up.

"I can't sleep, Shenyong is going to smelt iron today, and I don't know if it can be done!" Li Shimin said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty, there's no problem!" Wang De immediately said in relief.

"Well, come here to get some food. After I finish eating, I'll sit here and drink tea. Later, some ministers will come over." Li Shimin said to Wang De.

"Okay, Your Majesty, do you want to eat Xiaolongbao or dumplings today? Or noodles?" Wang De looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Here are two drawers of steamed buns. Also, get a bowl of porridge! Also, get some pickles. Just forget about the rest." Li Shimin thought about it and said to Wang De.

"Yes, Your Majesty, let me tell them immediately!" Wang De withdrew immediately, while Li Shimin sat there and began to make tea, let's make tea first, don't drink it, it's too hot now, and Wei Hao also confessed For him, it is best not to drink on an empty stomach, and he also remembered it.

After Li Shimin finished his breakfast, he sat on the side of the tea table. Now when Li Shimin sees those ministers, he seldom says that he is sitting on it. We are here chatting about the affairs of the court.

When it was almost Chen's hour, Fang Xuanling came over, together with Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Xiao Yu and others, they also knew that Wei Hao's side was going to try to make iron today.

"Come, come, come and sit!" Li Shimin greeted them with a smile when he saw them coming in.

"Your Majesty, do you want tea early in the morning?" Fang Xuanling came over with a smile and asked.

"Well, I woke up very early and couldn't fall asleep. You know that Iron Square is trying to smelt iron today, and you also know how many memorials to impeach Wei Hao are there in the Zhongshu Province. I don't have any of these things. Let Wei Hao know, I'm afraid this kid will find out, and quit!" Li Shimin sat there, sighing.

"Those ministers are just staring at one thing, saying that they heard that the road in Tiefang is very well repaired, better than the straight road, and the houses in Tiefang are all blue brick houses, and they built 3000 square meters. For a long time, those ministers just impeached Wei Hao for spending money indiscriminately, saying that Wei Hao should not spend the money here, but just concentrate on making iron.
In addition, I heard that a school was built. Of course, no one studies in this school. I heard that it is for the children of those workers to study, and according to Wei Hao's plan, Wei Hao will build 3000 houses in the future. "Fang Xuanling also sighed and said to Li Shimin,
During this period of time, Zhongshu Province has a large number of impeachment memorials, all of which were impeachment of Wei Hao. Where Zhongshu Sheng stayed, many ministers directly sent the memorials to Li Shimin, that is, the impeachment of Wei Hao, of which Wei Zheng was The most positive one!
"I have said that this time, I have invested 25 guan in the construction of the iron workshop. The money is not enough, and I can increase it from the internal funds. What I want now is to have 200 million catties of iron every year. Do you think it is worth it? No According to the price of our court, according to the selling price of the aristocratic family, a catty is 30 Wen, and their profit is still 10 Wen, and the profit of 10 Wen is also a profit of 2 yuan a year, 25 yuan. It was only taken back after more than ten years,
Moreover, the value of iron to the court cannot be calculated in terms of money. This is related to the safety of the border of our Tang Dynasty and the well-being of the people of our Tang Dynasty! "Li Shimin said a little angrily at the moment.

"Your Majesty, you can't calculate it like this. You count it as profit. I count it as saving. Your Majesty, now the court produces 20 catties of iron every year, and the annual cost is 5 yuan. Calculated, every catty of iron sold If we spend 100 Wen, our court will lose money! And 5 Yuan per year is only a small amount!" Sitting there, Fang Xuanling said again, and several other people nodded when they heard it.

"Your Majesty, if it is really possible to produce 200 million catties of iron a year, it will be worthwhile to spend 20 pennies a year. It really can't be calculated with money!" Changsun Wuji said while stroking his beard. Now, of course he needs to stand on Wei Hao's side, not for anything else, but for his son Changsun Chong, who is very likely to be the person in charge of this workshop!
