Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 577 Back to Luoyang

Chapter 573

Li Shimin was very happy when he heard Wei Chen's report. Wei Hao and Wei Chen still made achievements in Luoyang. Before Luoyang, the monthly tax revenue would not exceed 2 yuan, but now it is 8 yuan, and there is still a lot of work. The workshop has not yet been put into production, and if it is put into production, it can increase a lot.

"Well, okay, it's getting late, you should go back to rest early tonight, and come to the palace early tomorrow morning to give a detailed report!" Li Shimin said to Wei Chen with satisfaction.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the empress, and all the ministers are tired, so I won't bother you too much. The palace has been arranged by Her Majesty the Princess, and the place where the ministers live is also arranged by the minister!" Wei Shen He cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said.

"Okay, okay, okay, then I will get in the carriage, and you will come back early!" Li Shimin said to Wei Chen, and then got into the carriage,
And Li Siyuan was also chatting with Li Jing and his wife. After a while, she also got into the carriage. As the carriage entered the city, Li Lizhi also accompanied Li Shimin and the others to the palace. He was supporting his daughter himself.

After sitting in the palace for a while, someone sent Li Lizhi back.
The next day Wei Chen went to the palace to report, and those ministers were listening together. Those ministers were also very surprised and happy when they heard the changes in Luoyang.

And Changsun Wuji also came here this time. Hearing that Luoyang has such a large tax, his heart is also very excited. Now, the income of many princes is far more than his, and the income of Changsun Wuji's mansion is actually Not much, now that he sees an opportunity, he is also moved, but he also knows that if he wants to make money from it, he can't get around Wei Hao's hurdle, and it won't work without Wei Hao nodding.

"Your Majesty, I don't know the specific account books. These are managed by those workshop owners, and there are also people on the royal side. Therefore, I don't know how much profit those workshops can make, but The account books they sell do not dare to falsify, and from the perspective of taxation, those workshops are still profitable!" Wei Chen sat there and continued to report to Li Shimin.

"Well, that's for sure, Shenyong's workshops are not losing money!" Li Jing said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Well, you've worked hard too. Without your cooperation, it probably wouldn't have been possible. The two of you brothers have cooperated very well. In addition, this palace has also been repaired very well. I went out early in the morning to take a look around. , I found that it is really good, it has a Jiangnan style, the scenery is pleasant, and Shen Yong put his heart into it!" Li Shimin said to Wei Chen.

"Yes, Shen Yong left Luoyang only after making all the designs and arrangements. He said he was going to find good seedlings for breeding. The seedlings he found were sent over quickly, and let the family servant Haosheng take care of them, including How to plant and how to manage have been mentioned, I heard that some of them are still good, and they can be harvested in a month or so, and Shen Yong is probably coming back soon!" Wei Chen nodded and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, this kid, no matter what tasks I give him, he will finish them immediately, and he will complete them with all his heart. He never worries about the things I give him, but he is so busy now, hey, I am also very busy. want him to rest,
Anyway, after finishing the work for a while, I don't plan to let him go out. He will stay in Luoyang or go back to Chang'an, but let's stay in Luoyang. Dr. Sun is also here. In the second half of the year, a medical school will be opened here. By then, Shen Yong The matter of giving birth in the family must be under the control of Dr. Sun himself. In addition, the four girls in Chang'an are about to give birth. It is estimated that Shen Yong must rush back to Chang'an before they give birth! "Li Shimin touched his beard and said with emotion,
I feel sorry for Wei Hao, but I can't help it. There are some things that only Wei Hao can do, and others can't. Although it hurts, I can only let him do it.

At this moment, Wei Hao also seized the time to dare to go to Luoyang, and the matter of finding Miaozi was almost done. Whether it can be successful or not depends on luck.
Moreover, the rice seeds cannot be obtained at one time, and they need to be cultivated for several generations. The best ones can be cultivated. If they cannot be cultivated, they will have to go out to find them next year.
In addition, Wei Hao also made a lot of other seeds, and wanted to get them all out. Now in his own field in Luoyang, Wei Hao asked the workers in his house to build a greenhouse covering an area of ​​more than 80 mu, all of which were made of glass. , Wei Hao no longer counts the cost. The 80-acre greenhouse has been divided into more than 100 small sheds, where various crops are planted. Wei Hao also hired those who are good at farming at a high price to let them concentrate on Plant this.

In the next few days, Li Shimin wandered around Luoyang City, looked at those workshops, and wandered around Wei Hao's farmland. He didn't understand the matter of those seeds, so he still needed Wei Hao to come back.

In the evening of this day, Wei Hao finally arrived at Luoyang City on horseback, and went straight to the Governor's Mansion.

"My lord is back, my lord is back!" The steward who opened the door saw that Wei Hao had come back, and immediately yelled loudly, and the people in the house heard the movement, and all rushed over here.

"Brothers, take a good rest for a few days and ask the servants in the house to cook for you right away. It's been a hard time!" Wei Hao said to his personal guard.

"Young Master, you are serious!" The guards immediately clasped their hands and said, these guards rode with Wei Hao for almost tens of thousands of miles, and they all walked the field roads, which was also very hard.

"Husband, are you back?" At this time, Li Siyuan came out first, and after seeing Wei Hao, she walked over quickly.

"Oh, slow down, you have a big belly!" Wei Hao also walked over quickly and said.

"It's okay, you, you, why are you so dark?" Li Siyuan walked into a piece, and found that Wei Hao's blackness was not good, it was even darker than the iron workshop before, like charcoal.

"Every day in the wild, can it not be dark? Where's Li Zhi?" Wei Hao asked with a smile while supporting Li Siyuan.

"I'm going to the palace. The queen summoned her to come over. I think she will be back after dinner. I don't know if you are coming back today. There is no news at all!" Li Siyuan said to Wei Hao.

"Well, I ride a horse every day, and I think it's only been a few days, so I haven't sent someone to deliver a letter in advance!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Son!"

"My lord!" At this time, a group of pregnant women came to the living room. They were all Shen Yong's concubines, and eight of them were pregnant.

"Hey, hold on, don't fall!" Wei Hao said to the maids.

"It's not that expensive, my lord, why are you so hacked?" One of the concubines said distressedly to Wei Hao.

"It's okay, black is black, sit down, sit down and talk!" Wei Hao said to those people with a smile.

"Come on, prepare the bath water right away, my son has washed up, and also, prepare dinner, and ask me to eat something you like, hurry up!" Li Siyuan sat there and ordered,
Those servants also went to do it right away. After a while, Wei Hao went to take a bath. Wei Hao was served by a concubine who was not pregnant. In this way, it is also distressing.

"It's okay, what's the matter at home?" Wei Hao smiled and said with his arms around Li Lizhi. "What can be done at home? You too, don't you know how to be lazy and can't do everything by yourself?" Li Lizhi complained to Wei Hao.

"Hey, how do they understand? If they understand, I don't have to go out for a few months!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's eat, I will serve you to eat!" Li Lizhi said, holding Wei Hao's hand.

"Well, have you all eaten?" Wei Hao looked at the women and asked, and they all nodded.

"That's fine, then I'll be more polite, I haven't eaten home food for a long time!" Wei Hao went to the dining room as he said that, just as he sat down, Li Lizhi handed Wei Hao chopsticks, and Li Siyuan also gave Wei Hao the chopsticks. Hao poured a glass of juice.

"Sit down, why stand up, sit down!" Wei Hao ordered them to sit down, and all the women did too.

"Are the father and mother satisfied with the palace?" Wei Hao asked while eating.

"Of course I am satisfied. I like those styles. They are very beautiful. The queen mother is full of praise. And those ministers, when they talk about it, they will do the same at home! I took a look, and our mansion in Luoyang seems to have the same style. Isn't it?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, yes, this style, as long as you like it, I will go to the palace tomorrow to give a report to the emperor, and I will go to the farmland in the afternoon, and I will go to those workshops tomorrow. In addition, I haven't dealt with Luoyang's affairs, and many things still need to be handled by myself, the governor!" Wei Hao nodded and said, all of them are matters, and Wei Hao needs to go in person.

"Well, you don't have to be so tired. You can rest for a few days when you come back. Look at yourself, how dark you are. If your father and mother see it, you don't know how distressed you are. You don't touch the sun with five fingers Water people, look now!" Li Lizhi said to Wei Hao.

"What does it matter? Black is black!" Wei Hao said with a smile. After dinner, Wei Hao sat with them in the living room, talking about what he had seen and heard along the way.

Tonight, Luoyang officials, big and small, all knew that Wei Hao was back, but no one dared to disturb Wei Hao. They all knew that Wei Hao hadn't returned to Chang'an for more than three months and was busy outside.

Although those officials didn't know what Wei Hao was busy with, they knew very well that it must be such an important matter, otherwise His Majesty would not allow Wei Hao to leave his post for such a long time, and he did not dare to urge Wei Hao,

At the same time, as long as the matter in Luoyang is urgent, it can be sent to Li Shimin's desk. Basically, if it is sent today, it can be approved tomorrow, which is quite fast.

The next morning, after Wei Hao got up and finished his breakfast, he went to the palace. When he arrived at the palace, the school captains guarding the gate saw that Wei Hao was coming, and greeted him at the gate of the city, and soon arrived at the palace where Li Shimin was. Wang De also saw Wei Hao approaching from a distance, and immediately ran into the palace.

"Oh, here we come, all right, I'll go and have a look!" Li Shimin immediately came out of the palace when he heard Wei Hao coming, and when he reached the door, he found Wei Hao coming here through the corridor. At this moment, Li Shimin also found out , Wei Hao turned black into charcoal.

"Hey, Shenyong, why is it so dark? Come on, hurry up, go to the house and do it, don't you know how to hide?" Li Shimin was shocked, he had never seen Wei Haohei before. into this.

"I have seen my father!" Wei Hao came in front of Li Shimin, and immediately bowed his hands and saluted.

"Oh, no, hurry up, go to the house to rest, hurry up!" Li Shimin grabbed Wei Hao's hand and walked into the palace.

"Hey, how are the father and queen mother?" Wei Hao immediately asked Li Shimin.

"Okay, okay, when your mother came here, she couldn't be happier, thinking about whether the old palaces in Chang'an will also be remodeled according to the current situation. This palace is very good. You have put your heart into it. Already!" Li Shimin said, holding Wei Hao's hand.

"It's good if you like it. I also thought that I can't be the same as Chang'an. Otherwise, I might as well stay in Chang'an. In addition, you gave me a lot of money, father, so I made bold changes!" Wei Hao smiled. Said to Li Shimin.

"It's good to change it, it's good to change it. If you don't say it, it's better to leave it to you. However, you don't have to do anything this year. Just stay in Luoyang. Look, how dark it has become?" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, and then took Wei Hao to the tea table. Not long after he sat down, the queen came over.

When Wei Hao saw it, he immediately stood up.

"My son has seen his mother!"

"Hey, child, why did you become like this?" Empress Changsun was also surprised when she saw Wei Hao.

"Hey, Hei is a bit darker, but he is still very energetic!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"My child, sit down. When the queen mother came here, she ordered the imperial chef to eat here at noon. I haven't seen you for several months!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao also sat down. .

"Go and tell the ministers outside that today I will not deal with government affairs unless it is an emergency!" Li Shimin said to Wang De.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang De went out after hearing this.

"Come, drink tea! It's still from your house, it's all high-quality tea!" Li Shimin poured tea for Wei Hao and Empress Changsun as he spoke.

"Thank you, father! My son-in-law also wants to report to you the situation of the past three months. I originally wanted to write a memorial, but I really didn't have the time, so I dictated it!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"You don't need to report, you do things, father, don't worry, what to report? Father said, those seeds are things, if you can get them out within ten years, father will give you great credit!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, waving his hand , He didn't want to hear it at all. For Wei Hao, he was absolutely at ease.

"Here, father should report it, right? My son has been away for three months!" Wei Hao hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Father said no need. Father knows that you are working hard and that you put your heart into doing things. Then why do you listen? Besides, Father doesn't understand. He may give orders blindly after hearing it. Don't listen! Don't be like Father. Report to the emperor, by the way, how much did it cost?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I didn't spend much money! It doesn't matter!" Wei Hao also said with a smile.

"In the afternoon, send 5000 guan to Shen Yong's mansion. I can't let my son-in-law suffer and suffer. Look, it's like this. If it's an ordinary thing, you just give him 5. I won't go!" Li Shimin said and looked at Empress Changsun.

"Father, no need!"

"Shen Yong, don't say no, you are doing things for the court, how can you not use it, and let you pay yourself?" Empress Changsun also persuaded Wei Hao.

"It's settled like this. By the way, the four concubines in Chang'an are expected to give birth in two months. You have to go back when the time comes. I hope you can give birth to a son. Then your father will be relieved!" Li Shimin said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"I thought, how could there be one? But, it's hard to say, before my father gave birth to me, he gave birth to eight older sisters!" Wei Hao smiled, stroking his head and said.

"It's okay, you are still young!" Li Shimin also said to Wei Hao with a smile, and then talked about other things,
After a while, Empress Changsun went back, she was going to arrange other things, Wei Hao and Li Shimin were soon left in the study.

"Hey, Shen Yong, Gao Ming's performance is good recently, I sometimes think, this kid, you say he is stupid, no, you say he is smart? Sometimes he gets confused, it's terrible! Shen Yong , when you are free, you should go back and see him more often. If it wasn’t for the last time you helped him, the emperor wouldn’t know what to do. Abolish him? It won’t work, it won’t be abolished. There must be other princes and ministers It's a big opinion, but luckily you saved it!" Li Shimin said with a sigh after talking about Li Chengqian.

"Hey, Father, no matter what you say, Your Highness still has many advantages. Of course, he is very immature compared to Father. However, the environment is different. At that time, Father, you were in troubled times, and you Now Your Highness, it is a peaceful and prosperous age, can it be the same? It is actually very good to have this, although sometimes it is a little confused, but it is not necessarily a good thing to suffer." Wei Hao also looked at Li Shimin and said,
After hearing this, Li Shimin sighed a long time, then looked at Wei Hao and said, "By the way, your uncle may come looking for you, so don't talk to him. He did a lot of tricks in the dark about what happened last time. Now father The emperor is a little uncertain what he is going to do!"

"Ah?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin incomprehensibly, why did he suddenly mention him.

"Remember, your uncle wants to make the eldest grandson's family the first in the Tang Dynasty, and also secretly contacted many people, so be careful! Don't foolishly think that he is an example of loyal ministers, The example of an upright official is all superficial." Li Shimin continued to remind Wei Hao, and Wei Hao nodded pretending to understand.
