Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 514 Wei Hao's Plan

Li Tai invited Wei Hao to dinner, Wei Hao agreed after thinking about it, after all, Li Tai has performed well recently.

Then Li Tai began to contact some people, mainly the sons of Lord Hou, and they were all the eldest sons. Wei Hao didn't know why those eldest sons would be with Li Tai. It stands to reason that they should all be with Li Chengqian. together.

Wei Hao was still in his private box, and not long after he sat down, someone came over.

"I've seen King Yue, I've seen Duke Xia!"

Wei Hao knew the person who came in. He was the son of a civil servant called Zhang Qiling, and he was currently on duty in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Then came a few people, all sons of Lord Hou, and sons of civil servants, and they are all on duty in the court, but their ranks are very low, and they are all in the seventh or eighth rank. To be an official.

Wei Hao has been listening to them quietly, wanting to see if there are any real talents among these people, but he found that these people are all there reciting poems, or talking about prostitutes in brothels. Let's talk about something serious.

"Brother-in-law, my group of friends are all very talented, they can be said to be from a scholarly family, how about it?" Li Tai looked at Wei Hao and said with a little pride in his heart.

"Well, not bad!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Xia Guogong, I wonder if you like to read and write poetry?" Zhang Qiling looked at Wei Hao and asked with a smile.

"I don't like it, King Yue knows me, I don't like those romantic things, I like real things!" Wei Hao immediately shook his head and said.

"Hey, don't underestimate my brother-in-law. Although he doesn't write much poetry, he still has some famous lines. You know that!" Li Tai immediately looked at them and said.

They nodded in agreement, feeling a little disdainful in their hearts, and Wei Hao could also see it through their eyes.

"Brother-in-law, among these people, who do you think is suitable to serve as a county magistrate in Luoyang?" Li Tai continued to smile at Wei Hao and said.

Wei Hao heard it and turned to look at Li Tai.

"Brother-in-law, help me!" Li Tai still looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"Why do you ask me? You ask my father, how can I be the master of such a matter?" Wei Hao immediately shook his head and said with a wry smile, thinking in his heart, Li Tai is still immature, how could he ask such a question, how could this make him Answer, who is suitable and who is not, and besides, none of the people here are suitable.

"Father gave you all the power, I found out clearly!" Li Tai immediately retorted Wei Hao.

After hearing this, Wei Hao shook his head with a smile again and said: "I said His Royal Highness Yue, the father gave it to me, but you said, do I dare to make my own decision? Isn't this a joke? Luoyang is the shore of the emperor, how can I Is it up to you to decide?"

"Here, brother-in-law, you!" Li Tai heard Wei Hao say this, and knew that Wei Hao didn't want to help.

"King Yue, it's not that I don't help, besides, they are now seventh or eighth grade, and they are all working in the capital. Now the father has promoted all nine counties in Luoyang to upper-class counties. Do you think it is possible for them to transfer there? What can you do? What will you do?" Wei Hao continued to talk to Li Tai.

"Here, Xia Guogong, we also want to learn from you. They say that if you serve as the governor, the county magistrates below must be very easy to do. Now we all know that Wei County magistrate relied on you to become a court official step by step. He is an important minister, and he has been made a knight, and I heard that this time he may be made a marquis, and County Magistrate Wei has contributed a lot to this disaster relief!" Zhang Qiling immediately said to Wei Hao.

"That also depends on his ability. Before Wei Chen was transferred to the county magistrate of Wannian County, he was an official of the sixth grade, and you, the rank is still lower. If you want to be promoted, one needs your father to find someone, and the other I just need permission from my father, I really can’t help with this, forget it, let’s not talk about it, today is the situation of the king of Yue, let’s talk about other things!” Wei Hao said with a smile, he didn’t want to talk about it. topic.

Wei Hao didn't like any of these people. They couldn't even get through the officials' side, let alone their own side.

"Okay, brother-in-law, you have to take me with you about getting rich!" Li Tai immediately stared at Wei Hao and said. "I knew your meal was not good!" Wei Hao said while looking at Li Tai with a smile.

"Then, if you don't invite you to dinner, you still have to bring me money. Brother, because you have earned so much money, as a younger brother, you can't treat one more favorably than another!" Li Tai continued to say with a smile.

"Success, take you, definitely take you, but now, don't ask me the specifics, I really can't say now, I can only say that I will take you!" Wei Hao nodded and said to Li Tai.

"That's fine. If you have a brother-in-law, you can do what you say, and bring my friends with you when the time comes!" Li Tai looked at those people, and continued to say to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao nodded and said something good, then Li Tai chatted with them.

After a while, the food was served, and Wei Hao didn't drink much, and after they finished drinking, they chatted over poetry and songs. Wei Hao couldn't listen to it at all, so he could only sit there and listen quietly. The point is that it doesn't work. They still like to ask Wei Hao to comment. Wei Hao is very annoyed. He doesn't even know how to comment. What are you commenting on?I haven't developed this skill myself.

Every time Wei Hao said yes, the artistic conception was good, the words were good, and then he stopped talking. After finishing the meal with great difficulty, Wei Hao went downstairs and got on the horse, and shook his head with a wry smile, thinking in his heart, such a I will not participate in the dinner after killing myself.

Li Tai is still really immature. Such a person can accomplish anything. They are all nerds who claim to be cultural people.

After returning to the mansion, Wei Hao was still thinking about the food in his mind. If those Hu merchants were to send the food to Tubo, it would be a real failure. Thinking about it, Wei Hao felt wrong, so he went out and went to Fang Xuanling house.

Wei Hao sent someone to find out, Fang Xuanling came back at noon, Wei Hao had just arrived at Fang Xuanling's residence, Fang Xuanling and Fang Yiai came to pick Wei Hao up at the gate in person.

"I've seen Fang Xiang, you are like this, so that the boy will not dare to come in the future!" Wei Hao said when he saw him coming out, he cupped his hands.

"That won't work. You don't want to inquire. Who doesn't expect you, Wei Hao, to visit. In the past few years, you boy, except when you started to become a knight, you will go to other people's homes. Whose homes have you usually been to? Of course, Except your father-in-law's house!" Fang Xuanling took Wei Hao's hand and said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"It seems that I was rude!" Wei Hao replied immediately.

"That's not it, I know you are lazy, you can move as long as you can, go, go into the room and say, these two days are just right, I went to the restaurant to buy some cold melons, and I bought 50 catties for your father's sake." , but your father sent me 200 catties!" Fang Xuanling took Wei Hao's hand and walked into the mansion.

"Here, how can I let you buy it?" Wei Hao immediately said with a wry smile.

"Just kidding, if you give it away, can you send it over? How many people want to give it away? This is very good, just buy it. Otherwise, those things in your house will be distributed by everyone. Who doesn't know that your house There are good things!" Fang Xuanling said to Wei Hao.

Soon they arrived at the study room, Fang Yiai was very surprised, not everyone can go to Fang Xuanling's study room, sometimes even the six ministers of the current dynasty may not be able to enter the study room at Fang Xuanling's house , but as soon as Wei Hao came, Fang Xuanling invited him to the study.

"Erlang, go, let the servants cut cold melons, and bring up other melons and fruits, as well as the snacks!" Fang Xuanling confessed to Fang Yiai.

"Okay dad!" Fang Yiai went out immediately.

"Fang Yizhi hasn't come back yet?" Wei Hao looked at Fang Xuanling and said.

"No, I don't know how His Majesty arranged for Fang Yizhi. In fact, I hoped that he would follow you, but His Majesty refused!" Fang Xuanling said with a sigh.

"Fang Xiang, you think highly of me. What's the use of following me? Now, Fang Yi should go to the local area, especially the counties with a large population. I guess, the father will let him be the governor of Taiyuan County. The county magistrate will not stay in Taiyuan for a long time. It is estimated to be three years at most, and then he will be transferred to Wannian County to serve as the county magistrate. His father attaches great importance to Fang Yizhi, and Fang Yizhi has indeed grown. Very soon, His Majesty hopes that one day he can take over your position!" Wei Hao said his views on Fang Yizhi.

"Hey, if this is the case, then thanks to you, I just hope that he can be an official well, don't bully the people, don't break the law and discipline, other things, I really don't expect much, I know this kid, his character Calm! It’s just that the bookishness has become stronger, no matter since I went to build the iron workshop, I also found that it has indeed changed a lot and is a little smoother, but the bookishness in my heart is still there!” Fang Xuanling then said with a smile. I am very satisfied with Fang Yizhi.

"Well, so, father will temper him!" Wei Hao nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Shenyong, did you have something to do when you came here today? It's probably related to food!" Fang Xuanling asked Wei Hao with a smile.

Wei Hao stood up, cupped his hands at Fang Xuanling, and then said with a sigh: "If you are the real estate minister, such things can be expected!"

"Haha, I didn't expect it, I know your character. You, you are only for Datang. Seeing that Datang's grain is going to be sold, and thinking that the price of grain is going up now, the common people need to spend more money. You just feel uncomfortable when you buy food, so you just want to get rid of it, don't you?" Fang Xuanling asked Wei Hao with a smile while stroking her beard.

Wei Hao nodded with a smile, and then said: "The Prime Minister is the Prime Minister, yes, you know, I planned to gradually disintegrate the border countries a few years ago, and now I finally have the opportunity. This time The snowstorm has caused food problems in those countries, and now we are giving porridge at the border to win people's hearts.

When our Tang army kills them, those people will not rise up to resist. In this way, we can control these places for a long time. Now, when Tubo wants to buy food back, they also want to win people's hearts and improve morale. Opportunities we really can't give them! "

"Yeah, I know it, and your Majesty knows it too, but Shenyong, have you considered that we are the kingdom of heaven, and His Majesty is the Khan of Heaven. If we don't help them with food, we can justify it, because we have also encountered great difficulties. Snowstorm, but if you don’t sell it to them, it will be unjustifiable. At that time, those countries on the border will feel disappointed in Datang. In this way, the gain is not worth the loss. Have you considered it?
Today, we need to stabilize the surrounding countries, and our Datang also needs to accumulate strength. Now our Datang’s strength is getting stronger year by year, and the annual tax revenue has to increase a lot, which can make our Datang In a short period of time, they can quickly accumulate strength. Therefore, what His Majesty means is that they should buy the food and accumulate strength first. In two years, I believe there will be no problem. When the time comes, the army will go on an expedition to Tubo and Tuyuhun! "Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and talked about the consideration of the court.

"Fang Xiang, I understand what you said, so I didn't go to the father. I know that the father is thinking about this. I came to you today. I just came to ask in private. Is there any way to destroy this situation?" Don't use the power of the government for the plan to buy food in Tubo this time!" Wei Hao looked at Fang Xuanling and asked in a low voice.

"Don't use the power of the government?" Fang Xuanling was very shocked after hearing this, and then looked at Wei Hao.

"It's said that Prime Minister Fang is amazingly talented in planning, so I'm here today to ask for advice!" Wei Hao then said, clasping his hands.

"Well, Shenyong, others say that's fine. They say, I can still agree with it with a smile, but you can't say this. I know your ability. However, the idea you said can be done at that time, but , If they can’t buy food in the Tang Dynasty, it’s not appropriate, Shenyong, this matter, you can’t do it!” Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, analyzed it in his mind, shook his head and looked at Wei Hao and said.

"What if we borrow Tuyuhun's influence?" Wei Hao then asked Fang Xuanling.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuanling immediately sat up straight and stared at Wei Hao: "Tell me, tell me in detail!"

"Master Fang, look, they need to transport grain to Tubo, but the area that is close to Tubo, that is, on the edge of Tuyuhun, I would rather give this batch of grain to Tuyuhun than to Tubo, because The strength of Tuyuhun is far worse than that of Tubo. If Tuyuhun gets this batch of food, he can recover some strength and continue to fight against Tubo. Doesn't it need the cooperation of the frontier soldiers?" Wei Hao looked at Fang Xuanling and said his rough plan.

Fang Xuanling stood up at this moment, walking in the study with her hands behind her back, thinking about this matter.

"Anyway, I think it's feasible, but I just don't know if I should do it. Will my father agree to such a plan?" Wei Hao asked Fang Xuanling, who was pacing there.

"It can be done, it should be done, His Majesty will agree!" Fang Xuanling turned to look at Wei Hao and said.

When Wei Hao heard this, he also laughed.

"It's unlucky for Tubo to meet you!" Fang Xuanling smiled and sat down, pointing at Wei Hao.
