Chapter 546 End of the Year
Chapter 542

Just as Wei Hao sat down, those people looked at them.

"Drink tea, drink tea, everyone, you are welcome, I am also a guest today!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile, and then Wei Chen also poured tea for Wei Hao.

"Where's aunt and sister-in-law?" Wei Hao asked.

"In the living room in the backyard, the uncle and aunt are over there, all of them are some female relatives and some old people in the clan!" Wei Chen said while looking at Wei Hao.

"Oh, is Auntie still in good health?" Wei Hao continued to ask.

"Okay, I don't know how happy I am today, holding my uncle's hand and never letting go." Wei Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, that's good. It's cold. Don't let her go around. I remember that a greenhouse was built for you in the backyard. When the time comes, let your aunt sit in the greenhouse and bask in the sun, and let your sister-in-law chat with her." Wei Wei Hao continued to speak.

"I know, now my mother doesn't know how much I like the greenhouse, and I don't like it on cloudy days. Why don't I see the sun? He is there every day now, and a few grandchildren just go to accompany him. Noisy, but she is happy .” Wei Chen said happily.

"Old man, don't you all want your grandson to be around your knees?" Wei Ting was also talking beside him.

"Yes!" Wei Chen said with a smile.

"Shen Yong, Luoyang's action this time is probably very big. If Jinxian was transferred, you will also go there, which shows that His Majesty still has high expectations for Luoyang. When the time comes, you and Jinxian will make contributions again. "Wei Ting said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Well, it's just to do something. Now the court needs officials who can do practical things, and they also need to do something for the common people. Otherwise, isn't it a waste of time to be an official? I am the governor of Luoyang, and I definitely hope that Luoyang will develop better. Moreover, Chang'an is now under great pressure from all aspects, and the population is large. If it continues to expand like this, there will be a crisis in Chang'an.
For this snow disaster, a large amount of food has been prepared in advance. If there is not enough food, think about it. Chang’an City does not know how many people will freeze to death in this snow disaster. Therefore, Father also hopes to use Luoyang to share the burden. Chang'an's pressure is also for assistance, so that no matter what problem occurs in one of the cities, the other city can quickly help. "Wei Hao said to Wei Ting.

"Well, indeed, this Chang'an disaster relief work was really good. His Majesty should have conferred the title of marquis on Jinxian. By the way, Chang Sun Chong was also conferred the title of marquis today, but the position has not been transferred. Now everyone is staring at him. Wannian County!" Wei Ting looked at Wei Hao and said, Wei Hao nodded when he heard it.

"Is there anyone to recommend?" Wei Ting continued to ask Wei Hao.

"No, this time our Wei family will definitely not be able to do it. It cannot be said that the three county magistrates are all from the Wei family. How is that possible? Someone else should go up!" Wei Hao shook his head and said,
Wei Ting heard this, and sighed in his heart, knowing that Wei Hao didn't want to help this, of course not for himself, but for the other children of the Wei family, if Wei Hao spoke, then the county magistrate of Wannian County must be It belonged to the Wei family, but since Wei Hao didn't speak up, no one else could do anything about it. Besides, Wei Hao's reasons were also very powerful.

"Then who do you think it is?" Wei Ting continued to ask.

"I don't know about this, and I haven't asked about it. Really, I don't care about this matter. I'm not from the bureaucracy, but you may know the news in advance." Wei Hao turned to Wei Ting He smiled and said.

"It's useless for me to know in advance. When I know in advance, it's already settled!" Wei Ting smiled bitterly, and then chatted about other things, not business,

After sitting for about half an hour, Wei Hao went to the backyard to see his aunt and sister-in-law, and then the whole family went back. Today, Wei Shen was conferred a title and served as Luoyang Biejia, which shocked many people. No one thought that this position could really fall on Wei Chen's head,
Now, many people want to find Wei Chen to get closer, but today he has just been conferred a knighthood and is busy, so no one moves, but they are afraid that it will be too late, and there will be no practical significance by then.In the evening, Wei Hao sat in the mansion and read Qin Shubao's book of war until very late. Now Wei Hao is not going to go out. He has done everything that needs to be done and is preparing for the New Year. The next day, Wei Chen and his eldest grandson Chong is about to go to the palace to thank him.

"Congratulations!" Changsun Chong saw Wei Chen, and immediately cupped his hands and said.

"I want to congratulate you too!" Wei Chen also said, cupping his hands.

"Actually, we all took advantage of Shenyong. The food and cold supplies were all prepared by Shenyong. We just distributed them to the common people. That's what we did, and we became marquises! However, you It's great to be transferred to Luoyang, I don't know how many people envy you!" Chang Sun Chong said to Wei Chen, and the two went to Chengtian Palace side by side.

"Yes, but Luoyang is no better than Chang'an. There are no workshops there now. It needs to be developed. It may take about a year. But the two of us, I'm not telling lies, Shenyong is there , It’s not my turn to worry about these things, I just need to do those things well!” Wei Chen said with a smile, looking at Chang Sun Chong.

"No, otherwise, it's easy to work under Shen Yong, as long as you do things." Changsun Chong nodded and said in agreement. Then, the two of them arrived at Chengtian Palace. After being informed, they were taken away. When we reached the fifth floor, Li Shimin was sitting in the greenhouse on the fifth floor, watching the memorial.

"Chen Weichen (Chang Sun Chong) has seen His Majesty!" The two said immediately after reaching the conservatory.

"Well, here we come, excuse me, sit down and talk!" Seeing them coming, Li Shimin immediately smiled and said to them, and then a eunuch brought tea.

"This winter's snow disaster, you did a great job. You deserve this reward. This time Wei Chen is transferred to Luoyang, and I hope you can help Shen Yong manage Luoyang well. Shen Yong is very busy, and he has more There are important things to do, so the management of Luoyang will all fall on you, are you sure?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Chen with a smile and asked.

"Yes, at the beginning, when Shen Yong told me about this matter, I didn't have the confidence in my heart, but after thinking about it later, and with some assistance from Shen Yong, now, I still have a little confidence. I believe Luoyang will soon It will be able to develop!" Wei Chen nodded confidently,

Now he really has this confidence. Wei Chen knows the whole plan of Luoyang, but Sun Chong is surprised. What Wei Chen said just now means that Wei Chen already knew that he would be transferred to Luoyang, and even said, Wei Hao had already told Wei Chen about Luoyang.

"Chonger!" Li Shimin then looked at Changsun Chong.

"Your Majesty!" Chang Sun Chong immediately stood up and cupped his hands.

"You've done a good job, but you're still young, unlike Wei Chen. Wei Chen had served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for more than ten years before. You just entered the official position, so you still need to settle down. Chang'an County still needs you to manage it well. Yes, don't be proud!" Li Shimin said to Changsun Chong.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I definitely don't dare!" Chang Sun Chong immediately answered with cupped hands.

"Okay, this is the best way, you have to learn to meditate, you have to learn from Shen Yong, you don't think that Shen Yong has made money, but how many people Shen Yong has driven to make money, how much tax has brought to the court, and, for the people, for the world How many things have you done? You have to learn from him, don't be proud, Shen Yong is not proud, on the contrary, this kid thinks about his wife and children every day, so don't learn from this!" Li Shimin explained to his eldest grandson Chong .

"Yes, but after all, Shenyong is a single heir for several generations. It is normal to have this idea. I remember, from the very beginning when I knew him, he had this idea. It is not just now." Chang Sun Chong spoke for Wei Hao.

"Yes, this kid!" Li Shimin laughed when he heard it.

"There is no way for this. My uncle also gave birth to a lot of children, but Shenyong has only one son. The same is true for my grandfather before. Therefore, there is no way. Wei Hao's family is sparsely populated. We just hope to have more sons. Before our family, But he was bullied a lot, just bullying our two families, without brothers to help." Wei Chen also sat there and nodded.

"Well, now you have three sons?" Li Shimin asked Wei Chen.

"Yes, three sons!" Wei Chen nodded with a smile and said.

"That's a good thing, your family was similar to Shen Yong's before." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Yes, after my second son was born, Uncle Jin Bao cried, holding the baby and crying non-stop!" Wei Chen also said with great emotion at the moment.

"You Uncle Jin Bao is a good person. I don't know how many good deeds you have done. I believe that good people will be rewarded. Okay, let's not talk about government affairs today, just chat. It's very good!" Li Shimin smiled. They both said,

After chatting for about two quarters of an hour, Li Chengqian came over later, and the two of them left.As for Wei Hao, who is at home, he is really not ready to go out. He is at home every day, at most, he will go to the homes of a few brothers-in-law and ask them about the situation this year. The situation in their homes is not bad. They all have very high incomes. In Chang'an City, it can be said that they are big families. Before you know it, it will be New Year's Eve.
This morning, Wei Hao was going to worship in the ancestral hall. This is an old rule. When he arrived at the ancestral hall just now, there was a huge crowd of people. They were all the children of the Wei family. When they saw Wei Furong and his son coming, they also bowed their hands and saluted. Wei Furong also looked helpful. , Greeting those clansmen, Wei Furong and Wei Hao also walked into the ancestral hall, and when they got there, they found that basically everyone had come, but the time for offering sacrifices had not yet arrived.

"Uncle Jin Bao!" Wei Chen saw Wei Furong approaching, went over to say hello, and then supported Wei Furong.

"Well, here we are, is everything ready at home?" Wei Furong asked Wei Chen with a smile.

"It's all ready, there is nothing missing, and with so many things sent by your house, what else is there to lack, but those boys, ouch, think about the snacks sent by your house every day, Mother can't hide it every day!" Wei Chen said to Wei Furong with a smile.

"This kid, feed those kids if they want to eat, there's more at home!" Wei Furong said to Wei Chen.

"Uncle, you can't feed them too much, you don't know, they don't eat, so they just use this as a satiation, that's not okay, besides, I can't go without the food of those boys Yes!" Wei Chen looked at Wei Furong dumbfounded and said.

"Don't feed them too much, just eat a little every day, otherwise, the teeth will be broken by then!" Wei Hao said beside him.

"Did you hear that, Uncle, that's the reason." Wei Chen said with a smile.

"Jinbao!" Wei Yuanzhao saw Wei Furong coming, and he also greeted him, and the clan elders also greeted each other. Wei Furong also greeted them one by one, and the etiquette cannot be ignored. Wei Furong attaches great importance to this point.
Wei Furong was chatting with those clansmen, and Wei Ting and those sons who became officials in the court surrounded Wei Hao and Wei Chen. They all knew that now that Wei Chen relied on Wei Hao, it was not only a matter of promotion, but also a matter of promotion. Is it a knighthood, or a marquis,

Last year, Wei Chen was the head of a Ministry of Civil Affairs. In one year, he became a Marquis, and he would be transferred to Luoyang to serve as a deputy. Next, if Wei Chen was transferred, he would be the servant of any of the six departments. The position of Minister, as long as Wei Chen does not make mistakes, it is already a certainty, there is no suspense.

After chatting for a while, the sacrifice began. After the patriarch’s sacrifice, it was Wei Hao’s sacrifice, followed by Wei Chen’s sacrifice, and then the officials. After the sacrifice, it was still the old rule to go to the patriarch’s house for dinner.
Of course, they are still the sons of officials, but this time, many people have been added. After taking the imperial examination, they have already won the Juren and Xiucai. These people can be regarded as the backup candidates of the Wei family. There are ten tables, but the ones sitting beside the tea table are Wei Yuanzhao, Wei Hao, Wei Chen, Wei Ting, Wei Cong and others, while the others are holding teacups and listening to Wei Hao. They talk.

"Jinxian, when you arrive in Luoyang, you must work hard. Don't embarrass Shen Yong. I don't know how many people will fight for the position you transferred this time. I didn't get the news before, so I want to fight for them. fight,

Because you have only been in Wannian County for half a year, it is very difficult to transfer, so you are not considered, and people from other families, let alone, run to the official department every day. Speaking of which, Gao Shilian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has never let go of his mouth before, and his love has already been decided! "Wei Yuanzhao said to Wei Chen with a smile.

"This is due to Shen Yong!" Wei Chen immediately said modestly.

"That's also your skill. You did a very good job in Wannian County. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to recommend it. Besides, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but my old uncle, I have settled here, so I will go with him After saying hello, how can he promise you?" Wei Hao also laughed.

"By the way, Shen Yong, these people, let me just say a few words, they all admire you very much!" Wei Yuanzhao said, pointing to those Juren and scholars behind.Wei Hao turned his head to look, and found that they were all good young people. The oldest one was probably in his early twenties, and the youngest one was probably about the same age as himself.

"Shall I say something?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao and asked.

"Of course I have to say a few words, they all want your advice!" Wei Yuanzhao nodded immediately.

"That's fine, I'll just say a few words!" Wei Hao turned around as he spoke, and looked at the faces of those people. They were all very immature, and he probably had been studying before.

"Xiucai, Juren, um, yes, there are so many, but it is not an easy thing to become an official. Of course, it is good to be an official. You eat the royal food of the court, but the responsibility is also very important. But Don't think about getting promoted and getting rich. In fact, you shouldn't think about getting promoted and getting rich.
As long as you do your own things well, think more about the people, and do things for the people, you will naturally get promoted and get rich. If you put all your heart into getting promoted and getting rich, then you should stop being an official and do something else. Now you I also know how powerful the Overwatch Council is. This year, more than 50 officials were investigated and dealt with. They and their immediate family members can no longer be officials. They not only deceived themselves, but also deceived their own children.
So, I'm here to remind you, do things well, don't stretch out your hands indiscriminately, as long as you do things well, if others bully you, I won't agree. After all, no matter what I say or what I do, I belong to the Wei family Brother, if they bully me, it will definitely not work, but I will not help you bully others,
If you want to get promoted, don't come to me, I won't help you if you ask me, if you have difficulties, you can come to me, if you are bullied, you can come to me! Sitting there, Wei Hao said to those scholars who raised people, and they nodded quickly.

"Read more, think more, ask why, think more about how to change the living standards of the people, think more about how to govern the people of one side, think more about how to build Tang Dynasty stronger,
As long as you think in this direction, then you will be able to become a Jinshi, and you will be able to hold higher positions. Other false things, such as who bought the most expensive things today, who has a big power, that is It's useless! "Wei Hao continued to speak,
The officials sitting there also nodded thoughtfully. In fact, Wei Hao had already told them the way to be an official and how to be reused.

"Others, I won't talk about it, I haven't read a few books seriously, I have read some, but I haven't taken the imperial examination, so I can't study as well as you. In terms of study, I won't give you any advice! " Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Shen Yong is right. If you do more things and think more about Tang's affairs, you will naturally be promoted. Shen Yong, I just ignored this point!" Wei Ting took the topic at this moment and said to Wei Hao.

"Brother, what about you, you really need to practice. Last time you came to see me, how are things going?" Wei Hao asked Wei Ting, who smiled wryly.

"No?" Wei Hao continued to ask.

"No, now there are people vying for any position, and I really have no advantage in competing with others. I have been in the Ministry of Education and have no experience in any place. Many people are worried!" Wei Ting still said with a wry smile, I was also very depressed.
