Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 504 Reconstruction Preparation
When Wei Hao returned to the mansion, it was almost noon, and Wei Furong also came back. Seeing Wei Hao coming back from outside, he hurried over.

"Shen Yong, what's the situation outside the city?" Wei Furong asked Wei Hao who came in, and the servants immediately took Wei Hao's cloak.

"For the time being, they have been resettled and have a place to live. If the population of the victims exceeds 60, we may have to find a way. It's not a big problem now!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong with a heavy tone.

"Sin, the impact of the snowstorm this time is too great. After the spring, the victims of the disaster should take care of them. Even rebuilding the house will take time!" Wei Furong said with a sigh, thinking about the people in his heart.

"Well, it needs to be solved!" Wei Hao nodded when he heard it. After the spring, the rain will increase a lot. If there is no place to live, those people will have to live a hard life after returning to their original places.

"It would be great if all the houses in our Tang Dynasty were replaced with green brick houses, so that we don't have to worry about snow disasters!" Wei Furong said again with emotion.

"Yes!" Wei Hao heard it and nodded.

"Okay, the court will find a solution, son, come, eat, look at you, go out early in the morning, run for a day, are you exhausted?" Wang Shi also came over at this moment, facing Wei Hao distressedly Said.

"En, Hao'er, let's eat." Wei Furong heard it, and also called Wei Hao to have dinner together.

After eating, Wei Hao felt that something was wrong. Those victims have no income now, and it will be difficult to live after next spring. Although the court will subsidize food and seeds, what about the place where they live?Is it impossible for the whole family to sleep in the open?
Wei Hao returned to the study room, thinking about this matter, how to think about what is wrong, and thinking of a solution, the key is the blue bricks, if the blue bricks are fired fast enough, if the blue bricks can be sent to the disaster victims as quickly as possible In my hand, if the lime is delivered to the victims as quickly as possible, then after the spring of next year, those people will be able to build houses as quickly as possible.

"No, bricks and tiles have to be fired, lime has to be fired, wood has to be bought, and a lot of workers have to be hired!" Wei Hao sat in the study for a while, couldn't sit still, and immediately left the house with his bodyguards He went straight to the Green Brick Workshop. Li Chongyi was also surprised when he saw Wei Hao coming. He didn't know how Wei Hao went and returned.

"Shen Yong, what's the matter?" Li Chongyi asked Wei Hao who had just dismounted.

"I came here to do an experiment today. I want to fire bricks and tiles in winter to make bricks and tiles. Now those kilns are firing at full capacity. How many days can those bricks be fired?" Wei Hao asked Li Chongyi.

"Ah, in this case, it means one month. Our kilns can produce 6000 million bricks a month!" Li Chongyi said looking at Wei Hao.

"Then our current inventory is enough to burn for a month?" Wei Hao asked after hearing this, looking at Li Chongyi.

"Yes, almost!" Li Chongyi nodded.

"Okay, call the workers, I want to work!" Wei Hao looked at Li Chongyi and said.

"Here, the water will freeze completely in no time, and it won't be possible to make bricks!" Li Chongyi said to Wei Hao in a difficult way.

"I came here to solve this problem. Now we need to seal a few warehouses, work in the warehouses, and notify us to make a drying warehouse, so that those brick embryos will be dried in the drying warehouse. After drying, send Go into the brick kiln to fire, and strive to keep our kilns running!" Wei Hao said to Li Chongyi.

"Ah, this, this requires a lot of workers!" Li Chongyi looked at Wei Hao in surprise.

"Now that there are so many disaster victims outside, you still worry that no one will be able to work?" Wei Hao said after looking at Li Chongyi.

"That's right, that's fine, I'll call someone!" Li Chongyi nodded when he heard what Wei Hao said, and then went to call the workers.
In the end of the day, Wei Hao led that group of workers to start remodeling the warehouse, sealed the warehouse, and lit a lot of fires in the warehouse to ensure that the wall on the other side of the warehouse would not freeze.On the side of Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian was also on the side of Ganlu Hall. After dismissing the guards, Li Chengqian told Li Shimin about Wei Hao's method.

"Okay, that's great. After the expropriation of Xingzhuangzi's warehouse, the temporary residence of the victims has been completely solved. It's a good solution, and Shenyong has a solution!" Li Shimin said very happily when he heard it.

"Yes, but I'm worried that many people disagree." Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said worriedly.

"Who dares to disagree? Father and Emperor will issue an imperial decree later, and let the Ministry of Civil Affairs carry it out. Now the disaster victims are the most important thing!" Li Shimin said while looking at Li Chengqian.

"Yes, that's why I came here and told you alone that I don't want those ministers to know that this idea came from Shen Yong!" Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said.

"I see, you did a good job this time, it's alright, there are not so many disaster victims, and there is no need, wait and see tomorrow, when the time comes, I will issue an imperial edict!" Li Shimin praised Li Chengqian.

"Thank you for your praise, it's all due to Shen Yong's work done before, he has stored a lot of food and supplies to keep out the cold, otherwise, Jingzhao Mansion doesn't know what to do!" Li Chengqian said with emotion.

"Well, it's right to let Shen Yong be the official side. Father is looking forward to Luoyang very much. I don't know what Luoyang will look like under Shen Yong's hands, but father believes that when the time comes, the people of Luoyang will Happier than the people in Chang'an City, Luoyang has a small population, but it is a big place, which can let Shen Yong let go of his hands!" Li Shimin nodded and said expectantly.

"Yes, many people are now asking how Shen Yong should govern Luoyang, and they even heard that Erchen is here, but Erchen doesn't know!" Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"The specific part of this plan is only known to Shen Yong himself, and the emperor doesn't know. What about you, don't bother Shen Yong!" Li Shimin reminded Li Chengqian.

"Yes, of course my son knows, please rest assured, Father!" Li Chengqian said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Where is Shen Yong, where did Shen Yong go?" Li Shimin then asked Wei Hao where he was.

Li Chengqian immediately replied: "My son saw that he came out early in the morning. Now that the arrangements for placement are almost settled, my son let him go back. I don't want him to be criticized by those ministers. After all, Shen Yong is not Jingzhao Manor now." He is no longer an official in the Six Departments of the court, and he has no official position, so I don't want him to be attacked!"

"Well, that's right, then let him rest!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and originally wanted to call Wei Hao to the palace, but thinking of the relocation, Li Shimin temporarily held back.

In the evening, Wei Hao returned to the mansion and summoned Li Chongyi, Li Dejian, Yuchi Jingde, and Cheng Chusi to his home for dinner. After the meal, Wei Hao took them to the study and sat down, talking about himself s plan.

"What, starting to make bricks in winter, firing bricks, hiring those common people, sending those bricks and tiles to those places that need to build houses, this requires a lot of people!" Li Dejian was shocked when he heard that. He looked at Wei Hao and said.

"That's right, there is no shortage of labor outside the city, and I will also persuade my father to start planning to rebuild those houses next year. The bricks, tiles, lime, and wood will be delivered to the homes of the victims as soon as possible. After that, it will be rebuilt, and now I want to make bricks for winter, and now I am also groping,

I estimate that it can be done in a few days. At that time, we need to hire a large number of people and let them work. In this way, the victims of the disaster will have an income. Remember, only the victims of the disaster can be hired! " Wei Hao said to them.

"Well, if we can get out the brick embryos, there will be no problem. I sent someone to count the past today. In Chang'an County and Wannian County, more than 3 houses have collapsed. One brick house, it is estimated that it will take From 3 yuan to 5 yuan for green bricks, it depends on how many green bricks the court pays for. If it is 3 yuan, it will need 9000 million yuan. It stands to reason that there is no need for so many bricks and tiles around Chang'an!" Cheng Chu Si looked at Wei Hao and said.

"You still went to understand this?" Wei Hao looked at Cheng Chusi in surprise and asked.

"Of course, we all know now that the court needs subsidies. If we subsidize this time, our brick and tile workshop will make a lot of money!" Cheng Chusi said with a smile.

"The brick embryos are made in winter, which is what we do in Chang'an City. From now to the beginning of spring, in five months, we can fire 3 million bricks and 10 million houses. Therefore, this winter, if we make Well, our bricks from Chang’an will be sent to all the disaster-stricken areas. I believe many county governments will come to purchase green bricks. You all know how profitable the green bricks are.
At that time, we will dispatch a lot of manpower to hire those common people to transport blue bricks to various places, and it will be profitable, and the wages of hiring refugees will not be very high, so this time, the brick and tile workshop in Chang'an will steal other Local business, including Luoyang! " Wei Hao said to them.

"Here, you have shares in other brick and tile workshops!" Li Chongyi looked at Wei Hao and reminded.

"I know, but the aristocratic family also owns the shares of those workshops. I don't want them to earn the money, and I'm worried that once the bricks and tiles are in short supply, they will secretly increase the price. Therefore, the bricks in Chang'an Brickworks, you need to put pressure on them!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"It's okay, but there are not so many carriages!" Li Chongyi nodded and said.

"The carriage workshop, I will make it soon, and then I will go to Luoyang, the carriage workshop is in Luoyang, then you can buy it!" Wei Hao thought about it, and said to them, the technology of the carriage, now He has fully grasped that the new carriage can carry about six or seven thousand catties, and can hold more than 1000 bricks. Although it is not much, it is much stronger than the current carriage, which can only hold about 1000 catties!

"Oh, not in Chang'an?" Li Chongyi heard it and looked at Wei Hao in surprise.

"Are you kidding? Now that Shen Yong is the governor of Luoyang, he must consider the situation in Luoyang!" Li Dejian immediately said to Li Chongyi.

"Yes, yes, forget about this!" Li Chongyi immediately nodded with a smile and said,

The next morning, when Wei Hao went to the Green Brick Workshop, he found that there were many disaster victims outside the city. The people from Jingzhao Mansion had already arranged for those people to live here. It's done well, and there are still many people serving porridge here. After Wei Hao arrived at the blue brick house, he continued to lead people to work,
In the morning, at Wei Hao's mansion, Li Lizhi and Li Siyuan arrived at Wei Hao's mansion. They also used some money to buy a lot of food and sent people to give out porridge. When they arrived at Wei Hao's mansion, they learned that Wei Hao After they were not at the mansion, they went out,

That morning, Li Shimin issued an imperial decree to confiscate all Zhuangzi's warehouses. Those warehouses were to be opened for the victims to live in. Some people were unwilling, but there was no other way. Those people dared not disobey the imperial decree.

In the afternoon, Li Shimin sent someone to look for Wei Hao in Wei's mansion, but he couldn't find Wei Hao. The people in Wei's mansion didn't know where Wei Hao went, but they knew that he had gone out early in the morning.

"Not at the mansion, where did you go?" After Li Shimin heard the news, he looked at Wang De. How did Wang De know?

"This kid, he's still so busy!" Li Shimin said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, I still want to thank Shen Yong this time. Shen Yong has made great contributions to appeasing the victims. If Shen Yong didn't want to let those workshops free up warehouses to accommodate the victims, we still have to worry about it. What should we do now!" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin at the moment and said.

"Well, Shenyong has always had people in his heart, but the officials among us don't have people in his heart. This time, Gao Ming, Qing Que, and Chang Sun Chong, Wei Chen, really did a good job! When the matter is resolved, I will take it seriously. There is a reward!" Li Shimin nodded and said with great satisfaction,

The other officials also nodded and said, a little envious in their hearts,

And Wei Hao was busy at the brick house for four days. In four days, Wei Hao finally made the brick embryos, and those brick embryos are now sent to the kiln to see how the firing effect is!
"My child, many people have come to look for you these days, but they can't find you. His Majesty has sent people to look for you several times, but you are not at home!" Wang said to Wei Hao distressedly.

"Isn't it busy? I'll go to the palace early tomorrow morning!" Wei Hao said with a smile,
After dinner, Wei Hao went back to his study and began to write the memorial, writing his own plan, using the fastest speed to build the houses of the victims. After writing the memorial, Wei Hao went to Going to bed, I'm exhausted these days!
The next morning, after Wei Hao woke up, he still went to practice martial arts. After breakfast, Wei Hao went straight to the palace. Now the disaster relief work has basically stabilized. The area affected by this disaster is huge and the number of people is also large.
There were more than 50 houses that collapsed, and more than 700 million people were affected. The entire Tang Dynasty had only more than 300 million households, and one-sixth of them were killed at once, because in this era, most of the people still lived in the north. , The population in the south is not large now, but the population of each household in Datang is very large, with a large household having more than 80 or [-] people, and a small household with five or six people!

Wei Hao arrived behind Ganlu Hall, Wang De saw Wei Hao coming, and immediately went to inform Wei Hao, Li Shimin was having breakfast at the moment.After Wei Hao entered, Li Shimin immediately asked Wei Hao if he had eaten, and Wei Hao said he had.

"What have you been up to these past few days, boy, are you not at the mansion every day?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Busy making brick embryos, my father and son thought, if we don't stock up enough green bricks in winter, how will the common people build houses after the spring of next year? Maybe it will be difficult to complete in a year. There are a large number of people who have no houses to live in, so I want to use the winter time to burn enough green bricks, complete the transfer at the same time, and send those green bricks to various villages. After the spring, the people can The house is under construction!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"Well, are there so many bricks? Yesterday, my father did some calculations. If we want to rebuild those houses, we need at least 15 blue bricks. The least is just a few brick houses, but we can't finish it!" Li Shimin Sitting there, he said to Wei Hao.

"It can be completed, father, this is a memorial written by my son, can you take a look?" Wei Hao said and handed the memorial to Li Shimin. Li Shimin picked it up and looked at it, nodding while looking at it.

"Okay, okay, that's great, so those victims will have an extra income, save time, and let the people live in houses faster, good!" Li Shimin said happily after reading the memorial.

"Father, I originally thought that I would let the brick and tile workshops in Chang'an City burn it, but it was obviously not enough. I also needed to requisition the workshops in Luoyang, Huazhou and several other places. The workshop makes brick embryos together in winter, and the firing and distribution of those bricks and tiles are completed before the spring, and the specific how to do it is also written in the memorial!" Wei Hao continued to talk to Li Shimin.

"Father saw it, very good, come here, call the prince immediately, servants from left and right, ministers from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, ministers from the Ministry of Industry, several censors, ministers from the Ministry of War, and ministers from the Ministry of Officials, come to Ganlu Palace." Li Shimin faced Wang De said.

"Yes!" Wang De went out immediately.

"Good boy, I've been holding back this for the past few days. It's good. Father is very satisfied. I know you won't disappear for several days without any reason. No one can find you!" Li Shimin smiled at Wei Wei. Hao said, in fact, Li Shimin knew Wei Hao's whereabouts the second day after Wei Hao went to the workshop, but he knew that Wei Hao must have something important to go to the blue brick workshop, otherwise he wouldn't even leave home. back.

"I beg your father to forgive me. My son is also worried. After the beginning of spring, what will the common people do? They can't sleep on the streets. The adults can last for a few days, but what about the children?" Wei Hao said immediately, clasping his hands.

"I know, so my father didn't send anyone to look for you. This disaster, my father has thought a lot. If you hadn't done so much in the court in the past two years, the disaster this time would probably move the court. Genji, but now, those common people are calling Chaotang good and Zhen good, and you have a huge contribution to this!" Li Shimin said with satisfaction, pointing at Wei Hao with a smile.
