Li Shimin

Chapter 226 It's Nice to Have an Older, Unmarried Girl

"So, for Datang, this matter is a sure-fire business!"

After listening, Li Yuan nodded slowly in satisfaction.

But Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde, who were standing by the side, were both happy and depressed after listening to them thoroughly.

"I don't know if you two have any doubts about Road Construction Department and Housing Construction Department?"

After finishing Li Yuan, Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde, and asked slowly.

"Back to your Majesty, the villain wants to know, can this Lu Jiansi and Fang Jiansi go on for a long time?" Cui Hongmo asked.

"You should ask His Majesty and the court ministers about this matter."

Li Xuan curled his lips, but he thought that Cui Hongmo would soon become his eldest brother-in-law because he had already given the dowry to the daughter of the Cui family. Your Majesty should not break his promise to the world!"

"Of course, it would be hard to say if Tang Guozuo came to an end, but this will happen hundreds of years and thousands of years later, and you and other aristocratic families don't have to worry so much!"

On the side, Zheng Mingde was full of envy.

This is the benefit of having an unmarried older sister in the family.

In the past, when did His Royal Highness Prince Jin speak to the two of them in such a low voice?

"May I ask your Majesty, can you take the lead in building cement roads for Qingzhou?"

Cui Hongmo continued to ask.

After staying with King Jin for such a period of time, he finally understood that His Royal Highness Jin Wang is indifferent, and all his thoughts are placed in this Li Family Manor. If he wants any benefit, as long as it is not out of line, he has to be the first to ask for it.

Otherwise, His Royal Highness King Jin would never have imagined it.

Zheng Mingde also understands this truth.

Therefore, after Cui Hongmo finished speaking, his face was full of resentment.

Cui Jiazi really had a thick face and a dark heart, and he was the first to contact His Royal Highness King Jin anyway, so why did this guy seize the opportunity everywhere after he saw the king.

"Build roads for Qingzhou first?"

Li Xuan was taken aback.

Immediately, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Of course it is possible. After the road construction department and the housing construction department open the office, the king will talk to His Majesty about this matter!"

"Thank you king!"

Cui Hongmo looked overjoyed, as long as King Jin opened his mouth, the matter would surely be a success.

"However, from Chang'an City to Qingzhou, at least two thousand miles, this requires countless money. Can your Cui family spend so much money?"

Li Xuan asked with some concern.

"A road of two thousand miles?"

Hearing this, Cui Hongmo couldn't help being surprised.

Immediately, he shook his head again and again, "Your Majesty misunderstood what the villain meant. The villain just wanted to build a few concrete roads near Qingzhou! The road from Chang'an City to Qingzhou is so far away, even if the Cui family is hollowed out, it can't be taken." Pay so much money!"

"I see!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Xuan's eyes. He was also planning to build a road from Chang'an City to Qingzhou, which could be regarded as a gift for his future Princess Jin.

"Your Majesty, you can actually build it to Xingyang first, and then build it from Xingyang to Qingzhou!"

On the side, Zheng Mingde quickly said, "From Chang'an City to Qingzhou, one must pass through Xingyang. My Zheng family in Xingyang can afford this money!"

"Ok?"

Li Xuan subconsciously looked at Zheng Mingde, with a flash of joy in his eyes, "It should be a thousand miles from Chang'an City to Xingyang. Your Zheng family has so much money?"

Zheng Mingde looked happy, and said slowly: "My lord, although the Zheng family is only a prefect, but the family is quite rich! Moreover, from Chang'an City to Xingyang, not only the Zheng family's family, but also the Lu family, The Yuan family, Yuwen family, Yu family, and the eldest grandson's family, as well as the Xie family of Chen Jun and the Yuan family of Chen Jun, must be very willing to pay this money!"

As he spoke, Zheng Mingde turned his head subconsciously, and glanced at Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian at the side.

The eldest grandson Wuji is from Luoyang, Henan!
"As for Luoyang near Xingyang, the aristocratic family is even more superfluous! Your Majesty, the Zheng family can raise enough money without paying much money to build a cement road from Chang'an City to Luoyang!"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Mingde glanced proudly at Cui Hongmo who was at the side.

Letting your Cui family travel so far, if you want to find a few decent families, you can't find a few.

"From Chang'an to Luoyang, Xingyang, and then to Qingzhou..."

Hearing this, Li Xuan thought about the route in his mind.

Gently nodded, this way is feasible.

"Your Majesty, do you agree?"

Zheng Mingde was overjoyed.

"My king agrees, but this matter depends on His Majesty's will in the end!"

Li Xuan glanced at Zheng Mingde speechlessly, and this king agreed, why are you so happy!
"As long as the king agrees, His Majesty will agree too!"

Zheng Mingde didn't care about Li Xuan's differential treatment.

As long as a concrete road is built for Xingyang first, the reputation of his Zheng family in the world will be directly improved.

On the side, Cui Hongmo couldn't help sighing softly.

"Cui Wulang doesn't need to worry, as long as His Majesty agrees to build this road, you can let the road construction department open a cement workshop near Qingzhou, and you can start building cement roads in Qingzhou and Chang'an City at the same time!"

Li Xuan said.

Now, the more Li Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible.

Luoyang is the eastern capital, and there are many big families gathered in it.As Henan Province is in the Central Plains, there are countless aristocratic families. As long as this matter is brought up, more than half of the officials in the court will agree without Li Shimin's consent.

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde both looked shocked, and then Cui Hongmo's expression brightened.

On the other hand, Zheng Mingde quickly said: "Your Majesty, you can also open a cement workshop in Xingyang, so that you can build cement roads from Xingyang to Qingzhou and Chang'an at the same time!"

"This king can naturally think of this matter!" Li Xuan said calmly.

"Hey, Your Majesty is wise!"

Zheng Mingde didn't take it seriously.

How good the cement road is, I am afraid that no one in the world knows better than him.

After the two said goodbye to Li Xuan, they walked on the wide and flat concrete road in the village. Both Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo were beaming with joy.

As long as the cement road is repaired, what kind of expression will all those aristocratic children who laughed at them before have?

"Zheng Balang, what kind of expression do you have?"

Suddenly, Cui Hongmo stopped and asked Zheng Mingde who was beside him.

"Cui Wulang, someone first met the king!" Zheng Mingde said.

"But we are cooperating with the king at the same time!"

Cui Hongmo didn't give in at all.

"What's the matter, now we should build a concrete road for a certain Zheng's family first?"

As he said that, Zheng Mingde couldn't help jumping a few times, feeling the solidity under his feet, and his face was full of pride.

"Hmph, in a few days, a girl from a certain family will be Princess Jin!"

Cui Hongmo chuckled, stomped his feet lightly, and walked forward with a happy face.

"If there is no sister from a certain family, King Jin will not build a concrete road for Er Xingyang..."

Behind him, Zheng Mingde froze in place, his face full of depression!
Trippiff, Shuzi!

Isn't there an older girl who can't marry, what's so proud of?

After a while, Zheng Mingde sighed softly, turned his head and looked around enviously, the surrounding construction site, and the two wide and flat concrete roads that had been built, then quickened his pace and headed for Chang'an City .

Regardless of whether the City Construction Department and the Road Construction Department are a blessing or a curse to their aristocratic families, the cement road is real, and they must be the first to snatch away other aristocratic families and make a decision on this matter.
