Li Shimin

Chapter 316 Your Majesty, I Pay the Money First!

"How to pay?"

"Back to you generals, how much house do you need to build, and how much you need to pay!"

"Hiss...you have to hand it over in one go!"

"Exactly!"

"Su Guogong and Qi Guogong are also like this?"

"naturally!"

"..."

The generals were stunned for a while, and then said: "You wait for me, I will go back right away, let the housekeeper count the population on my village!"

Lu Kuang: "..."

After listening, the tense body relaxed a little, and then nodded again and again.

Respectfully sent this group of veteran killers out of the official office, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.

……

Lijiazhuang, another courtyard in the middle of the mountain.

Because of the high terrain of this north courtyard, there is a feeling of being halfway up the mountain, so Li Shimin called it the half-mountain courtyard on the first day of his stay.

The other courtyard covers an area of ​​over [-] mu, with six courtyards.

As Li Shimin and his family moved in, the entire courtyard was filled with forbidden soldiers.

Especially on the courtyard wall, there are rows of imperial guards, guarded heavily.

Everyone in Lijiazhuang subconsciously stayed away from here.

At this moment, the main house in the front yard of Caiban Mountain Bieyuan is also a three-story building, and the structure inside is similar to that of Li Xuan's main house.

However, there are not so many houses. The entire first and second floors, except for the pillars, are completely open and bright.

Especially on the second floor, there are two large French windows.

Two rows of large sofas were placed on one side, and Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others sat side by side.

There were several plates of cold melon and cold ice in front of them. While eating the cold melon and cold ice, they looked at the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which was very pleasant.

Since Li Shimin came, he never wanted to leave again.

And Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong looked at the large floor-to-ceiling windows in front of them, their eyes glowing green.

"If it weren't for the fact that the house in my house couldn't be remodeled, I would have raised two floors and built a building with such big French windows on all sides!"

"Your building will collapse the next day!"

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and the others all curled their lips subconsciously.

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Afterwards, after looking around, Cheng Chusi's face was full of joy again.

"However, I can live in such a house in winter!"

"Your Majesty, a farmer's small courtyard has [-].

"Hey, I didn't expect this kind of cement house to be cheaper than building a wooden house..."

"Ok?"

As he listened, Li Shimin became more and more uncomfortable. He put down the cold melon in his hand and looked at Cheng Zhijie.

"Your Zhuangzi is built for less than [-] guan?"

Cheng Zhijie said with some doubts: "Return to Your Majesty, there are only fifty households in my village, even if it is to pave concrete roads, it is only five thousand!"

After listening, Li Shimin couldn't help but widen his eyes, a little in disbelief: "Five thousand guan, or the cement construction of the whole Zhuangzi?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is!"

Cheng Zhijie was a little confused.

"Then why do I need 200,000 guan to build a six-storey palace?"

Li Shimin was full of doubts.

"200,000 guan?"

Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but be surprised.

"Your Majesty, did you hear me wrong?"

"This matter is what Xuan Ba ​​said to me, I am sure it will not be wrong!"

Li Shimin shook his head slowly.

"However, His Majesty is only building a palace, and it will cost less than 200,000 guns anyway!"

Changsun Wuji said with some doubts.

At this time, a cautious voice came from the side.

"Father, the 200,000 guan that the master said at that time should be the money spent by the master to build Lijiazhuang!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others quickly looked towards the source of the sound.

In the corner beside him, Li Chengqian was holding a book of memorials in both hands, watching Li Shimin and the others carefully.

"You said that 200,000 guan is the amount used to build the Li Family Village?" Li Shimin asked.

"Return to father, it should be so!"

Li Chengqian quickly replied: "It was Erchen, Li Chongyi and others who sorted out and recorded the account books of Lijiazhuang. Erchen remembered clearly that the entire Lijiazhuang was built, including labor, craftsmen and the cost of those materials. The total is 200,000 yuan A thousand and one hundred strings!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help being startled.

Afterwards, he asked again: "Can this money be included in this other courtyard and the small courtyard of Cui Zheng's two aristocratic families?"

"Go back to Aye, it's all counted."

Li Chengqian nodded lightly, "Not only that, even paddy fields and roads are included!"

Li Shimin: "..."

After a while, he said with a strange expression on his face.

"So, when I asked how much it would cost to build a palace, Xuan Ba ​​said it would cost the entire Li Family Village?"

"Father, it should be so!" Li Chengqian nodded quickly.

"Then how much will I need to build a palace?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Father, it should be around [-] guan!" After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian hurriedly reported.

"Very good!"

Li Shimin looked overjoyed, "After the autumn harvest, I will ask the general supervisor and the house construction department to quickly build a palace for me!"

On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and the others couldn't help being taken aback.

Immediately, his face was full of bitterness.

Cheng Zhijie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I paid the Fang Jiansi first for this matter!"

"Pay the money?"

Li Shimin was taken aback, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, if you pay the money, you can make an appointment first, so that as soon as the autumn harvest is over, the Road Construction Department can build a Zhuangzi for me first!"

Cheng Zhijie looked smug.

"I see!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"In this way, I can only ask the general to build a palace for me!"

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Zhijie looked anxious.

"Zhijie, what objection do you have?"

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Zhijie indifferently.

Suddenly, Cheng Zhijie paralyzed, lying on the sofa with a depressed face, full of regret.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others also breathed out secretly, not wanting to say more.

However, in Chang'an City, in a luxurious mansion, there were constant debates.

"This wind must not last long!"

"You know, it's not only Li Er who hates us now, but even the generals of the Twelve Guards are full of hatred towards our family!"

"However, if so many farm households go to work as labor labor and pave roads, and we wait for the farmland to be left unattended, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

"Besides, on top of this, we are all business-oriented, fair and honest, those reckless people, what can we do?"

"Hey, everyone, don't forget that my family and I invested money in that concrete road!"

"So what, we only have a small number of people!"

"However, we still need to obtain rare items such as fried tea and glass from King Jin and those His Majesties..."
