Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 640 The Powerful Tang Dynasty

Chapter 636

Soon, Wei Hao and Li Tai went to Chengtian Palace.

At this moment, Li Shimin is inviting King Wu and King Silla to drink tea and chat on the fifth floor of Chengtian Palace. Sitting here, one can see the whole Chang'an scenery, including the people on the street.

The two of them came to the fifth floor for the first time and were very surprised.

"Have the people who came with you settled down?" Li Shimin looked at the two of them and asked.

"After settling down, there is really no house in the back. We ordered more than 100 houses in the new city. There is no way. It is really impossible to buy a house in the city. It is too expensive, but outside the city, it is still a It’s good to buy some!” Sitting there, King Silla said to Li Shimin.

"Well, yes, there is no other way. The population of Chang'an City is too large now. Chang'an City has developed so fast in the past few years that I can't even imagine it. No, a plan for the construction of the outer city has been proposed now. I guess Three years later, the outer city will be completed!" Li Shimin nodded and said proudly.

"Your Majesty, I've also heard about the construction of the outer city, but it needs a lot of money, right?" King Wu looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"It needs a lot of money, but it won't cost much. Datang can still support it. Besides, it can be done for three years or five years. Datang's taxation is not bad now. This year, it will cut taxes for farmers again. , Tax exemption for some disaster-stricken places, the tax revenue of the common people has actually accounted for less than [-]% of the tax revenue of Datang, mainly the tax revenue of those workshops.

Now, the common people have money. In the past few years, the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty has done too many things. The more than 100 million yuan of money that has been sprinkled is all wages. These wages are taken away by the common people. Therefore, Now the people of Datang, life is still a little easier! "Li Shimin sat there and said with a smile.

"Yes, my Tang Dynasty is indeed powerful. Now Chang'an City is really crowded with people and there are a lot of goods. I will go out to buy some if I have nothing to do. They are all good things. I have never seen them before. Now, There are also many foreign merchants, and there are tens of thousands of foreign merchants over there in the west city, waiting for the goods from the workshop!" King Wu continued to praise Li Shimin.

"Well, that's right, these are all made by Shen Yong. Eighty percent of my current workshop in Tang Dynasty is made by Shen Yong. My son-in-law is very capable!" Li Shimin said proudly.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wei and Duke Xia are asking to see you!" At this time, Wang De stepped forward and said to Li Shimin.

"Oh, it's just about Shen Yong, hurry up!" Li Shimin said happily when he heard it.

After a while, Wei Hao and Li Tai came up and saw that King Wu and King Silla were also there. They saluted Li Shimin first and then the two of them.

"Come on, come on, sit on, sit on, you guys are out of customs. In the past few days, I have issued an order to prevent anyone from disturbing you. Cheng Yaojin and the others still want to drink tea and chat with you. I rejected it!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Hey, father, I have been very busy these days, but I have figured it out. However, there are still some problems that need to be discussed with father and ministers!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin while sitting there.

"Well, I don't care about anything else. I fully believe in the plan you made, so I will definitely. I want to know how much it will cost. I also need to do some calculations. It will take a few years!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao. Said.

He didn't read those blueprints at all, there was no need to read them, and he didn't understand them himself, but it was enough for Wei Hao to understand.

"Not much. My brother-in-law said that the maximum price is 100 million yuan. If it is added to 5 battles, it may be more than doubled. It needs 240 million yuan! This is calculated according to the highest price!" Li Tai immediately said. Followed by Wei Hao and said.

"That much?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao, looking at Wei Hao in surprise.

"That's right, the main cost of building the city is the labor cost. My son plans to hire 5 people to build the city. If it is fast, it can be completed in one year. If it is slow, it will take two years at most!" Wei Hao clicked. He nodded, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Then what are you waiting for, Xiu, you don't need the consent of the ministers. The Ministry of Civil Affairs won't give you money, but I will!" Li Shimin said grandly at this moment, and he can take out this little money from his internal funds at any time.

"Hey, Father, I also have 80 million guan in Jingzhao Mansion, and the following two county government offices have more than 40 guan. Father, as long as you nod, I will do it right away!" Li Tai was happy Said to Li Shimin.

"It will definitely be repaired. I can also know about other problems, but it doesn't matter, it won't delay your city repairs. These things should be solved slowly, and there must be a solution!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao and Li Tai.

"That's fine, then we will know. In fact, father, the building can be bigger!" Li Tai said to Wei Hao at this moment.

The entire city was expanded by 10 miles to the outside.

"It can't be expanded. Such a large area is enough for Chang'an to meet the needs of hundreds of years. If it needs to be expanded in the future, then it will be handed over to the people behind. What we have to do is to develop Datang well. Maybe, There will be no need for the city in the future, and now I am worried about the invasion of foreign enemies, otherwise, there is no need to build the city!" Wei Hao immediately stopped.

With hot weapons, the city is of no use at all. Now the Ministry of Industry has been studying the use of gunpowder. If you provide them with some ideas, maybe the cannons and muskets will come out!

"Well, listen to Shen Yong, what do you know, the expansion is so big now, it is enough for millions of people to live in it. And other places may also need to be expanded in the future. Chang'an can't only develop in the Tang Dynasty, but also other places. Development is.

Shenyong, do it according to your ideas. As for the following things, you don't need to worry about it, and you don't need to ask. Come on, you can't wait for sinners like this. It's not good for others to retaliate against you when the time comes! "Li Shimin confessed to Wei Hao.

"Yes, Royal Father!" Wei Hao nodded.

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so everyone is sitting here chatting, Shen Yong, you are also familiar with them, they just came to Datang, and they are not familiar with many things in Datang, in the future, I will take them out when I have a chance, No, is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet going to be held soon?
I told your mother that it will be done in Qujiang. This matter will be handed over to the Crown Princess, and you will also go there at that time. In the past two years, my Tang Dynasty has been very good in general, although it is not true The weather is going well, but now my foundation in Datang is getting better and better. " Li Shimin continued to speak to Wei Hao.

He didn't want Wei Hao to intervene in the follow-up matters. This is an offending job. Li Shimin needs to do it himself. Li Shimin also has this prestige. If he really issued an imperial edict, those ministers dare not refuse to listen.

When Wei Hao heard Li Shimin's words, he immediately cupped his hands to the two princes and said, "If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me at any time. Father has always been worried that you are not used to living here in Chang'an!"

"You're being polite, I'll inevitably have to nag in the future!" King Silla immediately said with a smile, and then sat there chatting.

At noon, I ate here, and after the meal, Wei Hao returned home.

Wei Hao didn't want to move anymore. There was nothing to do now, so Wei Hao started to lie down on his body without leaving the door. For three days in a row, Wei Hao had been lying in the conservatory, basking in the sun. It was too hot at noon, so he went back to the study Continue to lie down.

Except for giving lectures to Li Shen in the afternoon, Wei Hao did nothing at other times.

However, Wei Hao is like this, but no one goes back to talk about him. They also know that Wei Hao hasn't had much rest in the past few years, especially Wei Hao's parents. food.

"Mother, you, don't give him so much food. The food at home is not bad. Look, he's been eating big fish and meat every day these few days!" Li Lizhi persuaded Wang Shi.

"It's okay, girl, Hao'er has never stopped since he opened the restaurant. In the past, this kid was very lazy, and he wouldn't move when he lay there! Now that the conditions at home are good, he can just lie down , take a rest, or my Haoer will be exhausted!" Wang said to Li Lizhi with a smile.

"That's right!" Li Lizhi recalled every detail of herself and Wei Hao when she heard Wang's words.

Wei Hao's biggest wish is to be able to sleep until he wakes up naturally, counting money until his hands get cramped, and Wei Hao can't count the money at home even every day. No.

Wei Hao has to get up to practice martial arts every day, even for a few days, he still has to practice martial arts.

"Okay, don't bother him, let him rest for a few years and he'll be fine!" Wang said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, mother, I understand!" Li Lizhi smiled and nodded.

After a while, Li Lizhi went to Wei Hao's study and found Wei Hao lying on the bed, staring at him.

"What's the matter? Looking at me like this?" Li Lizhi came over with a smile and brought ginseng tea, put it on the tea table next to him, sat next to Wei Hao and asked.

"Hey, boring, I suddenly realized that when I am free, I will be bored. How can I be bored? I dream of living like this every day!" Wei Hao lay there with a strange expression on his face, and he was still thinking about future generations .

If future generations are bored, they can watch their mobile phones, which contain novels, movies, videos, and games. Now, there are not many novels, and I don’t know what to do.

"If you are bored, find something to do, such as raising some birds, such as planting flowers. I also know that you have been exhausted in the past few years. Now that Datang is strong, many things are not so urgent. You If you don't want to go to the court, you can play like this every day!" Li Lizhi sat there, looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile.

"Aren't you angry?" Wei Hao looked at Li Li and asked.

"Why am I angry, you are the one who owns such a large property in the family, and you have so many titles, you can just lie down and eat now!" Li Lizhi said with a smile, looking at Wei Hao.

"That's fine, then I'll just lie down and eat, but it's not interesting, I still have to find ways to find entertainment!" Wei Hao turned over as he spoke, looked at Li Lizhi and said.

"Then take your time and look for it. Anyway, you don't need to worry about family matters!" Li Lizhi said with a smile.

She really doesn't have any requirements for Wei Hao now. As a son, she is worthy of her parents, as a husband, she is worthy of those women, let alone as a father. There are so many titles in the family. Rely on Wei Hao.

Li Shimin is very satisfied with Wei Hao, and as a friend, Wei Hao has also helped many people.

"That's fine, then I'll find something to play with!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

In the next few days, Wei Hao had nothing to do when he was idle, so he saw someone in his house bringing back fish, and I heard it was still wild. Wei Hao heard that he could go fishing, so he started to make fishhooks by himself. Fish floats, fishing rods and the like.

After it was done, the next day Wei Hao took a carriage and went fishing under the Weihe Bridge outside the city. At that time, there were a lot of fish in the river, and Wei Hao harvested a lot every time. Before dark, he must have carried Many fish come home, and there are all kinds of fish.

On this day, at the palace, Li Shimin learned that Wei Hao was free to go fishing every day, so he said to Empress Changsun: "Guanyin maidservant, do you think I am too relaxed and cautious, and now this kid goes fishing every day! "

"You're sorry, Shenyong has been busy for so many years, why can't he take a break?" Queen Changsun said to Li Shimin with a smile when she heard this.

"That is to say, he can't come to play with me if he is playing, and I am bored in the palace!" Li Shimin said, looking at Empress Changsun.

Now he really doesn't have many things to do, some small things are left to Li Chengqian to deal with, he doesn't care at all, in Chengtian Palace, there is nothing to do, isn't it boring?
"Then you go to find Shen Yong, and let Shen Yong take you fishing!" Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin with a smile.

Li Shimin sat there and thought about it, then nodded: "It's fine, but you can't fish in the Weihe River, it's too troublesome, and you have to bring so many guards every time you go out, why don't you go to Qujiang, there is a river outside the Qujiang Palace. Go fishing, okay, I will inform him to go tomorrow!"

Empress Changsun heard it and looked at Li Shimin in surprise: "Are you really going?"

"Go, it's boring, I have nothing to do. Many things are done by the ministers. Now it's about building a new city. Now they are discussing the plan to take back those lands. Several plans have come out. I didn't agree anyway. Those I want to take back [-]% of the land, and leave [-]% to them at most!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Ah, no, so many people will be dissatisfied!" Empress Changsun said.

"Not satisfied? How much money did their family have four years ago? How much money do they have now? How did the money come from? Didn't Shen Yong take them to earn it? Now that they have money, they are still staring at those lands? Are those lands If they want to give it to the common people, they only think about their own family business, and don’t think about how the people of the Tang Dynasty will settle down?" Li Shimin sat there and said very dissatisfied.
