Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 506 Reminder
As soon as Wei Hao's carriage came out, the army took a fancy to it. Using this kind of carriage to transport supplies is much faster than before. Although the price is not cheap, it is about [-]% more expensive than the previous carriage. , or Wei Hao's carriage is cheaper.

There is nothing wrong with those carriages used to load bricks. Therefore, the Ministry of War also wants to find Wei Hao and order [-] carriages. However, Li Xiaogong, Minister of the Ministry of War, knows very well that the current carriages are mainly supplied to Merchants, brick and tile workshops everywhere now need a large number of horse-drawn carts to transport bricks and tiles in preparation for reconstruction next year.

In the evening, just after Wei Hao arrived at his mansion, someone came over and handed him a greeting card.

"Who, I don't have eyesight. My son just came back and hasn't had a sip of water yet, so I come to see you!" Mrs. Wang has a lot of opinions. Now that Wei Hao is busy and is always away, Mrs. Wang wants to chat with her son I don't have time, and I feel sorry for my son. I haven't got married yet, so I'm so busy.

"Mother, it's okay. It's the head of the Cui family. I guess there's something wrong. Is the greenhouse ready?" Wei Hao said, looking at Butler Wang next to him.

"It's finished. I know you're coming back, my lord, so I started burning at noon!" Steward Wang said to Wei Hao.

"That's good! Tell Patriarch Cui to come to the greenhouse!" Wei Hao nodded and walked towards the greenhouse. Just after entering the greenhouse, a servant girl came in with chopped cold melons.

"Yo, is it ripe?" Wei Hao asked very happily when he saw the cold melon.

"It's ready. Madam picked a lot. She sent some to the palace, and some to the mansion of Duke Dai, and some to the mansion of the Duke. In addition, the restaurant at home also sells some. Madam said, you can't lose money." Already." The maid said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Well, it's fine, just give it away, is there still a lot?" Wei Hao asked immediately.

"There are still many more, and they are still blooming and bearing fruit. The people over there have been fertilizing, and they don't know if it's useful or not. It's their first time planting, and they have been groping!" The maid continued to reply.

"Okay, I'm going to have a look tomorrow!" Wei Hao said happily.

Soon, the head of the Cui family came in, and Wei Hao stood up and said: "The head of the Cui family came to visit, and I was far away from welcoming him. I am really tired. I just came back."

"Understood, we are the ones who disturbed you, so let's say sorry!" The head of the Cui family cupped his hands and said, followed by the person in charge of the Cui family in the capital, and another young man whom Wei Hao didn't know.

"Come on, please sit down and try this cold melon. It was only grown in Tubo before. I grew it for fun, but I didn't expect it to grow!" Wei Hao said to the head of the Cui family with a smile.

"Yes, I know that Juxian Building is for sale. Now many people are saying that they never expected that Xia Guogong is not only good at running workshops, but also better than others in farming!" The head of the Cui family praised with a smile.

"No way, I haven't planted it myself, it's all planted by human beings!" Wei Hao said while waving his hands, and started eating cold melons. It's very comfortable to eat this in the greenhouse!

"Duke Xia, to be honest, our Cui family has something to ask this time, and we hope that Duke Xia can agree!" The head of the Cui family said to Wei Hao after eating the cold melon.

"Well, please? A business matter?" Wei Hao looked at him and asked in surprise.

"No, business matters, we know, Xia Guogong, you have your own considerations, it's my youngest son, named Cui Jian, who is now the county magistrate of a low-level county, come, greet Xia Guogong!" The head of the Cui family greeted and sat down immediately. Said the young man there.

The young man stood up and saluted Wei Hao immediately. He was very respectful. He could not be disrespectful. The title Wei Hao is the Duke of the state, and the official position is the governor. If Wei Hao wants to be an official, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry will always be there. Wei Hao's.

Everyone knows that Wei Hao doesn't want to be an official, but Wei Hao has great energy. It's not a problem to arrange a county magistrate, even a governor. It depends on Wei Hao's willingness. Li Shimin trusts Wei Hao very much.

Wei Hao's elder brother, Wei Chen, is now an earl, and he heard that he might be promoted to a marquis, because of Wei Chen's contribution to disaster relief, why?It's not because of Wei Hao, without the foundation laid by Wei Hao in Wannian County, without Wei Hao's promotion of Wei Shen to be the magistrate of Wannian County, Wei Chen is just an ordinary official, and even now he has died in Lingnan.

"Oh, I know you!" Wei Hao knew his name as soon as he heard his name. Wei Hao basically knew the names of the county magistrates in the court, and Wei Hao was also paying attention to those county magistrates. After all, Luoyang needed to select 9 people. The county magistrate, Gao Shilian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, sent himself all the county magistrate materials from all over the country.

"Thank you Xia Guogong!" Cui Jian said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Well, sit down and talk!" Wei Hao said to Cui Jian, and Cui Jian still sat down a bit cautiously.

"Want to go to Luoyang?" Wei Hao looked at the head of the Cui family and asked.

"Yes, this child has always admired you and hoped to follow you around. I didn't want to trouble you at first. I knew you were busy and wanted to find Gao Shangshu, but Gao Shangshu said that all officials in Luoyang need your nod. That's all right, that's why I came here!" The head of the Cui family said to Wei Hao with a wry smile.

Wei Hao heard this, looked at the head of the Cui family with a wry smile, then looked at Cui Jian and said, "I know your resume well. Gao Shangshu recommended it before, but I didn't agree. First of all, you have no experience in governing the local area. In your current county, you have not made any outstanding achievements in front of my eyes. You even said that you have not done anything for the common people, not even a small thing.

You are in the county office every day, and the people can only find you if they have something to do, and you rarely go among the people, so if you want to go to Luoyang, you can't do it based on your resume! "

"Duke Xia, don't worry, I will follow your footsteps when we get to Luoyang!" Cui Jian said nervously after hearing Wei Hao's comments.

"Wrong, it's not to follow my steps, but you have to figure out how to manage a county well. Yes, I have many workshops, but there are nine counties below. Which county doesn't want it? Will you fight for it or not?" , If you want to fight for it, you need to use your county's advantages. Do you know the advantages of that county? Can you fight for it? It's not that simple to govern the people in a county, you still need to hone it.

Mr. Cui, it’s not that you don’t want to give you face. You also know that I am the governor of Luoyang. Everything in Luoyang has something to do with me. I, I can't do things to disappoint His Majesty, and I can't do things to disappoint the people, he, you'd better let him temper himself before we talk about it! "Wei Hao looked at the head of the Cui family as he spoke, and clearly refused.

"Here, a county isn't that difficult to govern, right?" Cui family head also said in surprise, he didn't expect that Wei Hao directly refused.

"Do you think Wannian County is difficult to govern? Is Chang'an County difficult to govern?" Wei Hao asked with a smile as he looked at the head of the Cui family.

"Of course it's difficult. After all, these two counties have so many people and so many workshops!" The head of the Cui family immediately nodded and said, these two counties have more people than most prefectures.

"And in the future, each of the nine counties in Luoyang will be like this. If Luoyang wants to develop, then it needs to select a good county magistrate to go there. At the very least, it needs a county magistrate who can solve many problems for the people, and his experience is insufficient. Yes, it still needs training, but don’t worry, the county magistrate of Luoyang is also rotated every five years, and there will still be great opportunities in the future!" Wei Hao explained to the head of the Cui family.

"This!" The head of the Cui family didn't know what to say at the moment.

"Really, I can't help you with this job. Please understand. The county magistrate of Luoyang is very important. It is related to the development of Luoyang. If Luoyang's development is not good, I will be the one that father will clean up!" Wei Wei Hao looked at the head of the Cui family with a wry smile and said.

"Then excuse me, but I still have one thing I don't understand, that is, can you explain the old man's doubts?" Cui family head said to Wei Hao, clasping his hands.

"Say it!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Why do you keep the secrecy so strict in Luoyang? You don't seem to welcome us when we want to invest there?" Cui family head said to Wei Hao.

"No, no, you have always misunderstood, how can you not welcome it? On the contrary, I welcome it very much. I just said that the plan in Luoyang has not yet started. I don't want outsiders to rob the people of Luoyang. Benefits, to give a simple example, now the land outside Luoyang, those wastelands, are very cheap, one mu of land may cost about three guan, and the price in the future may exceed 50 guan, even like Chang'an, the price is more It costs 100 yuan per mu of land. If you buy this land now, it will be a huge loss for the people of Luoyang, so I keep it secret.

Don't worry, after the spring, I welcome you to go there, and I will announce the planned area. At that time, everyone can invest wherever they want! "Wei Hao explained to the head of the Cui family again.

"Oh, but, if this is the case, everyone has misunderstood." The head of the Cui family immediately nodded and said.

"Yes, yes, but there is no way. I, Wei Hao, just want to do something for the common people. Otherwise, why should I be the governor? Being an official will benefit one side, right?" Wei Hao looked at the head of the Cui family with a smile Said.

"Yes, yes, I admire this old man, but I wonder if our family can take a stake in those workshops of yours?" The head of the Cui family asked Wei Hao again.

"Yes, it's still the same sentence. You can persuade His Majesty. However, I have a problem with your family. The disturbance you made last time was not small. Don't say it has nothing to do with you. So, sometimes I am also very vigilant, if I make you bigger, it may harm you, so I am very hesitant!" Wei Hao looked at the head of the Cui family and said, while the head of the Cui family looked at Wei Hao in astonishment.

"This, it's impossible, don't worry!" The head of the Cui family hurriedly cupped his hands and said.

"Nothing is impossible. If you are not from your family this time, it is really not a big threat. Do you think His Majesty will let you continue to unite like this? If you don't, you will have to investigate this matter carefully. Once it is found out, you say, who will Bad luck.

Mr. Cui, you are the head of the patriarch. The situation now is different from before. His Majesty now controls the army, and the imperial examinations have also started, and the common people now have the opportunity to study. Secretly controlling the court can only be said to be courting death.

Moreover, let me tell you, your opponents are not only the royal family, but also those nobles in the court. Once those nobles unite, they will not be much worse than the aristocratic family. On the contrary, they hold actual power in their hands, such as Yuchi Jingde, such as Cheng Yaojin, such as my father-in-law, they all have troops in their hands, so I remind you, do things carefully, don't put your head in the noose, that's courting death! "Wei Hao smiled, looked at the head of the Cui family and said.

At this moment, the head of the Cui family was a little flustered. He never thought that Wei Hao would treat their family like this, nor did he think that his opponents might be those people.

"Elder Cui, I should remind you, and I remind you too. I believe you understand. Just one sentence, your family should give up the benefits that should be given up. Otherwise, the lords in the court are willing to continue those benefits. Being occupied by your aristocratic family, why? If it doesn’t work, then do it, I don’t want such a day, so I dare not help you too much these years, I just don’t want to see this day!
Didn't you notice that none of the ministers you wrote this time wrote a letter, why, the generals are waiting for His Majesty's order, as soon as His Majesty's order is issued, those troops will start arresting people! "Wei Hao reminded the head of the Cui family.

"En!" Hearing this, the head of the Cui family nodded with a heavy expression, feeling very anxious in his heart.

What Wei Hao said was something they hadn't considered before. If what Wei Hao said was true, then the future status of the aristocratic family is indeed in jeopardy, and they may be uprooted at any time.

"But don't worry, His Majesty won't do anything easily, unless you want to die, then there is no way, no one will be able to save you then!" Wei Hao then said to Cui Family Head.

"Thank you Shenyong, we will seriously consider this matter!" Cui family head said to Wei Hao.

"It needs to be carefully considered!" Wei Hao also nodded and said.

"What about Luoyang?" Cui family head looked at Wei Hao and asked.

When Wei Hao heard this, he couldn't help sneering, he had reminded him so clearly, they still kept their eyes on the benefits, it seems that the family still didn't want to give up any benefits in their bones.

"Let's talk about it next year, it's too early to talk about it now!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

The head of the Cui family heard it and nodded, then got up and said goodbye to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao didn't want to keep him either, he had just come back, the stool was not warm yet, they came to him, if he didn't see him as the patriarch of the Cui family, he wouldn't bother to talk to him.

After the Cui family left, Wei Hao sat there and continued to eat cold melon, which was delicious.

"Hao'er!" Mrs. Wang opened the door and entered.

"En, mother!" Wei Hao stood up immediately.

"Stinky boy, you run outside every day. If you knew this, you wouldn't be allowed to be an official!" Wang said with a distressed face.

"Mother, I'm in Luoyang, very close!" Wei Hao said with a smile as he went over to support Wang.

"Well, in a few days, the king of Shu, Li Ke, is going to get married. The gifts are all ready, and the invitations are also received. By the way, this is the gift list. Can you see if there is anything missing?" Wang said Take out the gift list.

This time the king of Shu got married, Li Shimin also attached great importance to it, and the king of Shu also sent invitations to Wei Hao's family, not only Wei Hao's name and Wang's name, but even Wei Hao's father wanted to attend, because Li Ke It is very clear that Li Shimin also likes Wei Furong very much, and Wei Furong has also done a lot of things in this disaster relief!
Wei Hao took out the gift list, looked at it carefully, then nodded and said, "No problem!"

"That's fine. By the way, His Majesty sent someone to your father to say that he would like to order two thousand catties of cold melon. I asked the servant, and the servant said yes, and I will send it over at that time? Mother sees that you like to eat, and you want to keep it?" Click!" Wang looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Then send it over and write it on the gift list. How can I eat so much?" Wei Hao said with a smile when he heard it. Wei Hao didn't care about the 2000 catties of cold melon. He just gave it away.

"Success!" Mrs. Wang nodded when she heard what Wei Hao said.

Then the mother and son sat there chatting for a while, and then went to have dinner. After eating, Wei Hao went to Li Yuan's yard. Now Li Yuan's yard is full of greenhouses!

"Old man, are you still busy?" Wei Hao asked with a smile when he saw Li Yuan pruning branches there.

"Yo, your kid is here? Come, come and sit!" Li Yuan was very happy when he saw Wei Hao. He hadn't seen Wei Hao for a while.

"Well, I just came back. I came here after dinner. I'm in good health. I heard that you spent a lot of money on disaster relief this time?" Wei Hao smiled and went to support Li Yuan and said.

"Hey, spending money is a trivial matter. After a heavy snowfall, I found out that there are so many victims, and I feel troublesome. I didn't expect it, but I let you solve it. When I went to the palace to dig uncles a while ago, Erlang came over. The old man told your father-in-law that if Datang didn't have you, there would definitely be chaos this time!" Li Yuan said to Wei Hao beside him.

"Impossible, I don't have such ability, this is father's ability!" Wei Hao said to Li Yuan with a smile.

"You, it's your credit and it's your credit. I guess this time it's time to reward your meritorious deeds. Your kid's share is indispensable. I made it clear to Erlang that I can't treat you badly!" Li Yuan Said to Wei Hao.

"Why do I want a reward? I don't have anything?" Wei Hao smiled and said indifferently.

"If you have it, it's yours. If you don't reward your credit, then it's your father-in-law's fault! Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about your affairs in Luoyang. This carriage is very useful. I even found someone to get it Five cars can hold a lot of things!" Li Yuan asked Wei Hao with a smile.

"Ah, you still want to buy it? Blame me, blame me!" Wei Hao immediately smiled and apologized as soon as he heard it.
