Chapter 592 Reaction of the Parties
Chapter 588

Wei Chenhe asked if he wanted to sell those books to merchants from all over the world. After Wei Hao heard this, he thought about it. It is better to ask Empress Changsun about this matter. After all, the royal family now has business names in various places. If you give the royal business name , is also possible, but Wei Hao still doesn't want to give it, the main reason is not to settle accounts,
Moreover, Wei Hao went out to investigate for a few months this time, and he also knew that the reputation of those royal shops was not very good. The shop was bullying and very arrogant. If the books were given to them, he didn't know what price they would sell them for.

"I'll answer you about this tomorrow!" Wei Hao said to Wei Chenhe, he still had to go to the palace to talk about it with Empress Changsun.

"Okay, I'll let them wait for the news." Wei Chenhe nodded. At noon, Wei Hao invited Wei Chenhe to have dinner at his home.
After eating, Wei Hao went straight to the palace and asked to see Empress Changsun. Empress Changsun was teaching Li Zhi how to read and write. When she learned that Wei Hao asked to see him, she summoned him right away.

"My son has seen the queen mother!" Wei Hao went over and saluted immediately.

"Well, hurry up, come and sit down, and taste these melons and fruits, all sent from the south!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, this time there is mainly one thing I want to ask Queen Mother about." Wei Hao sat down and asked.

"What's the matter, tell me!" Empress Changsun nodded,
At this moment, Sizi has arrived beside Wei Hao, and Wei Hao also picked up Sizi, and said: "Mother, the books bought in the past two days are very good. The 500 million books I prepared before are basically sold out, but now there are a lot of them. The merchants are at the entrance of the workshop, hoping to sell our books to various places. My son has not agreed to them yet. After all, the royal family still has stores in various places. If the mother wants to give it to the royal family, it is difficult for my son to agree. gone."

When Empress Changsun heard this, she was very surprised. All the 500 million books were sold out. In addition, Wei Hao came here to talk about this incident, which showed that Wei Hao didn't want to sell it to the royal firm at all.

"Okay, I sold it, very good, by the way, Shen Yong, do you have any suggestions, whether to give it to the royal firm or to the businessman, tell me, Queen Mother." Sitting there, Wei Hao said.

"Empress, what I mean is not to give the royal business name. I was outside a few months ago and learned that the royal business name has a bad reputation and the shop bullies customers, and by buying the products of the royal workshop, Very arrogant, so ordinary people, if they can't go to the royal business, they won't go.
But this time, what is sold are books. If it is other things, I will not talk about it. Books are related to the affairs of scholars in the world. I dare not say that those scholars are dissatisfied with the royal family, so I think If they are handed over to those merchants to sell, I will give them a [-]% discount. They must sell books according to the marked price, otherwise, I will disqualify them from selling books. I wonder if the mother thinks it is feasible? After Wei Hao finished speaking, he looked at Empress Changsun.

"There are so many problems with the Royal Company?" After hearing this, Empress Changsun stood up and walked in the living room with her hands behind her back.

"Yes. Erchen even went in to buy things on purpose. He was very arrogant. If it weren't for the fact that there were no other places to buy, Erchen would definitely not go!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Those damn things, my mother hasn't taken care of the company in the past two years, and I don't have time to take care of it. Those people below dare to be so presumptuous. Xian'er is also busy, so it is impossible to go to various places to inspect!" Empress Changsun was very angry Said.

"My son also didn't want to make his mother angry, so he didn't say anything. If it wasn't for selling books this time, his son didn't want to say anything, so as not to disturb his mother." Sitting there, Wei Hao said.

"Well, the matter of books cannot be given to the royal firm. Books are a great thing for the country and the people. Let them mess up like this. That's okay. You give it to those merchants. On the side of the firm, the queen mother has to take care of it! "Empress Changsun said immediately.

"We need to clean it up. Otherwise, the common people will only hate the royal family. It's not worth the loss. Instead of doing this, it's better not to have those business names. Now the royal family has enough income. It would be better without those business names!" Wei Hao said as he sat there. Said.

"Well, I want to consider this matter. It's really not possible. Selling all those shops is definitely not possible!" Empress Changsun nodded and said.

"Yes, this is just my son's suggestion!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Well, by the way, all the girls in the family have given birth to one son and three daughters?" Empress Changsun looked at Wei Hao with a smile and asked.

"Yes. Yes!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Congratulations, queen mother, you have to take good care of yourself in the future, don't fight with others, and be a father, be prudent!" Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"I know, it's been a long time since I've fought!" Wei Hao said with a sneer.

"Well, I heard that Shiro wants to worship you as his teacher?" Empress Changsun continued to ask.

"Ah, oh, yes, Concubine Wei Guifei told me about this before, so I checked the paintings of His Royal Highness Ji Wang, and they were indeed good and talented, so I also loved talents. In addition, I Most people really can’t learn such a skill, Erchen has actually been looking for an apprentice for the past few years, but he has never found one, this time His Royal Highness Ji Wang really caught Erchen’s eyes, so I moved my mind!” Wei Hao immediately nodded and said, knowing that Empress Changsun must have received the news, the harem is a matter, and there is no way to hide it from Empress Changsun.

"Well, then accept it. Since you like it so much, and Shiro also has this talent, it would be a pity not to accept it! However, there will be rumors outside." Empress Changsun looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Don't worry, empress, I just said to accept apprentices. As for the rest, I don't care. I and Concubine Wei also said very clearly that although the concubine is from the Wei family, His Royal Highness is my eldest brother-in-law." , Qing Que is my brother-in-law, and the slave is also my brother-in-law, so we can clearly distinguish between relatives and ministers!" Wei Hao said immediately, cupping his hands,
Empress Changsun was very relieved when she heard what Wei Hao said, and immediately said with a smile: "Well, accept it, it's rare that you like it, and you said it yourself. I have been looking for it for many years, by the way, see if you have this slave talent?"

"No, he can't. This son-in-law needs to study for a lifetime, but this slave needs to learn from father and the emperor. It's different!" Wei Hao immediately shook his head and said.

"This, why is it different?" Empress Changsun immediately asked.

"So, my son's research is the law of heaven and earth. For example, why does lightning light up? Is there a way to keep it on? If you want to keep it on, what do you need to do? What do you need to study? Another example, the queen mother, The area of ​​a circle can be calculated, but how to calculate the area of ​​an irregular ellipse? The empress mother and the ministers are studying these!" Wei Hao immediately explained to the eldest grandson empress.

"Ah? Study something like this? Shenyong, what's the use of studying this?" Empress Changsun looked at Wei Hao incomprehensibly and asked.

"Mother, take printing as an example. Printing is very simple, just like stamping, but in order to save manpower, I need to design, which involves the transmission of power, the research of ink, and various aspects. On the one hand, this is very complicated, and what ordinary people learn is completely different,

Also, the queen mother can remember that when the ministers bet with those ministers, no one could calculate the subjects better than the ministers. What the ministers learned can be said to be different from what scholars in the world learn. My son learns this, but Ji Wang can, because Ji Wang likes it, and only if he likes it, he can only study it deeply, so that he can make achievements and make contributions to future generations! "Wei Hao sat there and continued to emphasize.

When Empress Changsun heard this, she understood a little bit, and felt more relieved, but she also admired Wei Hao even more.

"Shen Yong, take in a few more apprentices. My mother doesn't understand what you said, but now my mother also knows that those things are very important. As you said, one printing can benefit many people, and cement, And what you did at the steel workshop really benefited the people all over the world,
No, the queen mother still needs to talk to your father and emperor to find more apprentices for you. With the help of the land in the future, you will not be so tired doing things! "Empress Changsun said to Wei Hao.

"Hey, Queen Mother, this requires talent, and it's not something that ordinary people can learn, so let me find it slowly!" Wei Hao said with a wry smile.

"Find out when to go by yourself. For this matter, you should ask your father to help!" Empress Changsun said,
At this time, Wang De came over.

"Look, your father must have heard of your coming, so he sent someone to summon you." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Xia Guogong, Your Majesty invites Xia Guogong to come over. After you finish chatting here, go over!" Wang De came over and cupped his hands.

"Well, there is nothing wrong, Shenyong, eat in the palace at night, don't go back, go to your father's side, take a good rest after chatting." Empress Changsun told Wei Hao.

"Hey, look again, if the emperor is busy, the minister will go back first, anyway, the minister often comes here!" Wei Hao stood up with a smile, then saluted the eldest grandson empress, and said a few words to Li Zhi and Sizi , Wei Hao went out with Wang De.

"Duke Xia, don't blame the old slave for talking too much. I heard that you want to take King Ji as a disciple?" Wang De said in a very low voice when he was on the road.

"You already know this, Eunuch Wang!" Wei Hao asked with a smile.

"Can you not know? Your Majesty is very happy, but it is estimated that there will be ministers' objections. Besides, there will be many princes' objections. Your gains outweigh the losses!" Wang De said in a low voice.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang. I know that it was actually a misunderstanding outside. It was a misunderstanding, but I have no way to explain it. I accept apprentices just for the sake of accepting apprentices, just to pass on some knowledge, and I have no other ideas. Of course, I have no other ideas. I know what people outside think first, I know!" Wei Hao said to Wang De, clasping his hands.

"Hey, Duke Xia, since you know, I won't say anything, but, it's better to be careful!" Wang De heard Wei Hao say this, and he could only sigh.

"I know, thank you!" Wei Hao still cupped his hands and said, soon, Wei Hao arrived at the place where Li Shimin lived, and inside, Li Shimin was reading the memorial.

"I have seen my father!" Wei Hao said in the past and bowed his hands.

"Well, here we come. Sit down and make tea by yourself. After the father approves this memorial, there is a drought in the northwest, and some farmlands have failed to harvest. The northwest asks for tax exemption!" Li Shimin said.

"Father, is it a big loss?" Wei Hao immediately asked after hearing this.

"It's not big, but it's a big deal for the people affected by the disaster. I'm going to mobilize food to go there, but we can't starve to death!" Li Shimin wrote on it, and Wei Hao nodded.

"This year I have enough food in the Tang Dynasty. As long as I survive this year, next year there will be no problem. At least tens of millions of catties of food will be added, which is enough to feed millions of people. By then, there will still be enough for newborn children. There may be more food to eat, but it needs the cooperation of local governments to plant it.
Father, son thought, when the time comes, let Chang'an, Luoyang, and the surrounding counties come to Luoyang, let them see the new grain varieties in person, let them taste it for themselves, let them know the yield, and then prepare the fields next year , sowing rows of varieties! " Wei Hao sat there, looked at Li Shimin and began to speak.

"Is it about to harvest?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It's almost there, Father, what do you mean?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Of course, so, you set a time, and I will issue an imperial edict to the ten surrounding state capitals to let their officials come to Luoyang!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao excitedly.

"Then five days later, so that everyone will have time!" Wei Hao said after thinking about it.

"Okay, then five days later!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and then took a pen and paper, and began to write. When the time came, let Zhongshu save the formulation and even go. After finishing writing, Li Shimin handed it over to Wang De : "Leave it to Zhongshu Province, let Zhongshu Province immediately send someone to notify the designated state capital, and let the state capital notify the county magistrate below them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang De took the paper and withdrew, while Li Shimin stood up and arrived at the place where he drank tea. At this moment, Wei Hao was almost done.

"Shen Yong, what do you think about Shi Lang's matter, tell my father!" Li Shimin sat down and said to Wei Hao.

"Ha!" Wei Hao laughed bitterly.

"Why this expression?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao incomprehensibly.

"Father, my son has no other ideas. Father, you don't know what my son learns, and those things my son learns, but you need talent to learn them well. Let's put it this way, King Ji and my son learned, he learned I don't have the ability to govern one side, but I can learn the ability to make a lot of tools, such as those things that Erchen is doing now,

So, my father, my son and son just hold the idea of ​​collecting a piece of land and passing on the mantle. Although it is said that it can be passed on to my son, but my father, I don't know if he can do it!You can't let no one inherit my skills, can you?In addition, if King Ji learned it, he would be able to assist the new emperor in the future, right?But now there are various rumors outside, saying that Erchen has other ideas, Erchen, hey! " Wei Hao said with a sigh.

"That can't be blamed on the outside. You kid has made such a great contribution and influence to my Tang Dynasty. Who doesn't stare at you? I guess, Gao Ming is staring at you. However, Gao Ming can agree, which really surprises me. , I was also surprised, this child still has a heart!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Actually, Your Highness is very good. He likes to listen to women when it comes to women's issues. There is nothing he can do about it. However, now he also knows that he is wrong. He has already made two mistakes on it. I don't think it will happen next." Do you want to do it again?" Wei Hao thought about it and said.

"I also hope that he won't do it again. That's fine. Since you said so, the emperor won't ask any more questions. Just do it. Concubine Wei Gui will arrive later today, and she will tell me about it then." , Of course I agree!" Li Shimin nodded and said, of course he agreed,

If Li Shen is outstanding at that time, it is not impossible to become the prince. They are all his own sons.

"Yes, thank you, Father!" Wei Hao immediately cupped his hands and said, after chatting for a while, Wei Hao wanted to leave,
But Li Shimin didn't let him go, but continued to keep Wei Hao and talk. Wei Hao didn't return to the mansion until after dinner. At this time, Li Lizhi and Li Siyuan were already waiting for Wei Hao in Wei Hao's study.

"What's the matter?" Wei Hao saw the two of them with serious faces, thinking that something happened.

"I heard that you want to take Shiro as your apprentice?" Li Lizhi sat there, staring at Wei Hao and asked.

"The news is so fast!" Wei Hao smiled, thinking it was something.

"Why, we don't even have any children now, so you just want to accept apprentices and pass them on, so you can't think about it for your children? How can you pass on such a skill to outsiders? No matter how bad it is, you still pass it on to Wei Zhili. It's your eldest son!" Li Lizhi sat there, staring at Wei Hao and said very unhappy
"That is, others don't know your skills, don't we? Who has learned your skills, not to mention being a high-ranking official, but becoming a rich man, that's definitely no problem!" Li Siyuan was also sitting there, Said unhappy.

"I said, you are all angry because of this!" Wei Hao laughed.

"Of course I'm angry. This is a family heirloom. How can outsiders learn it? If we agree today, how can our descendants blame us two mothers?" Li Lizhi was still very angry. said,

Wei Hao heard it, smiled, and then walked into a cabinet in the study. Wei Hao opened the cabinet with a key. The cabinet was just brought by Wei Hao from Chang'an. Inside were all textbooks written by Wei Hao. There are textbooks in universities.
