Chapter 84: That's it

Wei Zheng never thought that oil would flood one day. After being called into the palace and listening to Changsun Wuji's statement, the old man was also confused: "Changsun Pushe, what do you mean is that there is a lot of oil and no one buys it, the only option is to discard it?"

"Not bad, I can only throw it away." Changsun Wuji nodded.

Wei Zheng rolled his eyelids: "Why? There are many people in the Tang Dynasty who are not full of food, so why can't they take it out and share it with them?"

Changsun Wuji was speechless and took it out, but it was thanks to the old guy Wei Zheng who could think of it.

Don’t he know that this thing was exchanged for money? It’s really not that he can create value but wants to give it to others for nothing. He really doesn’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive.

Li Er sighed helplessly: "Wei Qing, it is OK to send grease to the people, but have you ever thought that grease is something that no one wants, but the court used it to distribute to the people. Is this appropriate?"

"This..." Wei Zheng hesitated a little.

In fact, he knew that he had said the wrong thing as soon as he spoke. At this time, Li Er pointed out and was stunned.

Changsun Wuji spoke at the right time, breaking the awkward atmosphere: "Old Wei, do you still remember the boy from the Li Jing family, he was buying grease in the first place."

"Not bad!" Wei Zheng was excited when he heard this: "Your Majesty, why not sell the excess oil to Li Dejian for the attendant?"

"It's easier said than done. Wei Qing, I have explicitly banned Li Dejian from purchasing grease last time, but how can I get it now?" Li Er shook his head and sighed.

Wei Zheng didn't think so and said calmly: "What's the problem? Your Majesty doesn't need to come forward, and the old minister will tell him."

This is OK? As expected, it is better to provoke him or her if you want to.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Er speechlessly.

...

...

Li Hao, who was summoned into the palace emperor, was also speechless.

Looking at Wei Zheng, who was full of words and saying that the country was full of things and courtship, had only one thought in his mind: I'm afraid this old man is not stupid, right?

"Li's boy, this is the case, so you have to collect those oils."

"Wait, wait." Li Hao came to his senses and said with a good attitude: "Uncle Wei, it was you who impeached me to buy grease. Now the grease cannot be sold. You are still asking me to collect grease. Please, even if you want to fleece, don't catch me and try your best to get it."

Wei Zheng: "…"

It is true that the kid I impeached last time, but there was very little oil at the beginning. At that time, I could sell it for money, but now I can't sell it at all. Can this be the same?

I have to say that Lao Wei is a typical idealist. Many things are considered from how they should be considered, and he has never thought about how others will feel.

In other words, in Lao Wei, right is right, wrong is wrong, black and white are clear, and there is no gray area.

This is also the main reason why Lao Wei failed in life and was dug out of his tomb by Li Er after his death.

It is precisely because Li Hao knew these things that he would not be spoiled by his faults. He whispered him and then threw out a classic saying from later generations: "Besides, the landlords don't have any surplus grains. You asked me to buy so much oil at once, where can I get money?"

Wei Zheng was speechless after being criticized. After a long time of long time, he said, "I can plead with Changsun Pushe for you. You don't have to give the money first. How about it after you make Zhenguan soap and sell it."

Zhenguan soap..., Sure enough, my soap still couldn't escape the poisonous hand.

Li Hao glanced at Li Er and said in a daze: "No, what if I can't sell it and smash it into my hand? There are hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and the more I collect it, I will still be alive in the future. My father knows that I will beat me to death."

"This..." Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment, turned to look at Li Er who was drooping and silently: "Your Majesty, if Li Dejian made Zhenguan soap, would it be better to buy a batch in the palace?"

"Yes." Li Er nodded without raising his head and his eyes closed.

This kid is too bad. On the surface, Old Wei caught a sheep and fleece, but in fact he caught the toad and snatched it out of his urine. However, Old Wei was bullying it with a tantrum.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zhenguan soap was really needed in the palace, Li Er could hardly help but drive Li Hao out.

Seeing Li Er agreeing, Wei Zheng said to Li Hao again: "Li Dejian, what else do you have to say?"

Li Hao continued to shake his head: "That's not the case. In addition to oil, I also need soda ash for producing Zhenguan soap. There are a lot of lime. These also require money to buy them. I just bought a barren mountain, so how can I have the money to buy these things?"

If it weren't for the mistakes that happened today because of his impeachment of Li Hao, Old Wei really wanted to throw his palm on Li Hao's face and beat him to death.

But if that is true, the problem of unsalable oil and fat will inevitably not be solved.

Therefore, Old Wei's boss gritted his teeth and said with a tough forehead: "It's no problem. I can tell you about your quota and ask you to temporarily take credit."

Li Hao continued unreasonably: "What if someone impeached me for a malicious acquisition in the future?"

"I'm going to tell you the same thing, how about it?" Old Wei gritted his teeth and secretly vowed that if Li Hao was sluggish and slapped him again.

Fortunately, Li Hao also knew what it means to stop at the right time. He nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is settled. Uncle Changsun, tomorrow you will ask you to send all the useless grease to the village outside my city. Thank you."

"Hu..." Wei Zheng let out a long sigh, and it was finally over. Unexpectedly, this little brat was so difficult to deal with.

Changsun Wuji also smiled and said, "It's so good. My nephew will go back and arrange it. The grease will definitely be delivered before noon tomorrow."

Poor old Wei.

Although I don’t know how the tricks here changed, Li Hao obviously felt that there was some special smell hidden in Changsun Wuji’s smile. It would be strange if there was no trick to what happened today.

The facts are not much different from his speculation.

After leaving Li Er's study, Li Hao met Li Chengqian, who was secretly smirking, halfway through.

"How about Li Dejian, is Wei Zheng's face almost green?" Li Chengqian asked as soon as he got together.

Li Hao was stunned for a moment: "What's your idea?"

Li Chengqian shook his head: "It was my uncle's idea. I just told my uncle that he wanted to cause trouble for Old Man Wei. My uncle thought of this solution, but he didn't expect you to cooperate so well."

"So that's it. I said, how could the Minister of Revenue care about such a little bit of oil?" Li Hao smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that Uncle Changsun did this on purpose."

Li Chengqian said proudly: "That's right, my uncle is a famous old fox, and there is nothing I don't know about Chang'an City."
