Li Shimin

Chapter 405 The First Cement Road Paving Completed

"Excuse me, Prince Hejian, how much does it cost to build a shipyard?"

Li Xuan asked Li Xiaogong who was on the side.

"This?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was stunned, glanced at Li Shimin, and quickly replied: "If King Jin wants to build a huge steel ship, he must build a large shipyard, and the construction of a steel forging furnace will require at least 300,000 guns."

"Your Majesty, my money can account for three percent!"

Li Xuan turned to look at Li Shimin.

"In that case, Xuan Ba ​​will account for [-]%!" Li Shimin nodded directly.

Anyway, Datang has a lot of shipyards, and this one is not bad.

Only Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others on the side were anxious.

However, in this matter, they really do not have a say.

Afterwards, after a few people discussed the matter roughly again, the shipyard settled.

Although it was discussed by several people, Li Xuan kept making the request, and then Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were recording.

"Xuan Ba, the cement road from Chang'an City to Qingzhou will be completely completed in the day after tomorrow. In such a prosperous age, can you go and watch?"

When he was leaving, Li Shimin thought of something again, and asked Li Xuan again.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness. I like to be clean, so I won't go!" Li Xuan shook his head and refused.

The first cement road in the Tang Dynasty, which is thousands of miles long, is completed, and there will inevitably be many people watching it, and there must be a huge crowd of people outside Chang'an City.

He doesn't want to block people.

Li Shimin had already expected Li Xuan's reaction.

Therefore, he nodded and took Fang Xuanling and the others to leave quickly.

After returning to the palace, Li Shimin called the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the doctor of the Ministry of Water, and other officials such as Shaofu Supervisor and Jiang Zuojian to arrange work.

For this matter.

All the officials are also very happy.

Although the distance is long, they can ride in a carriage all the way without bumps. This kind of business trip is a kind of enjoyment for them.

The next day.

After the early dynasty, the Shaofu supervisor and the general supervisor each sent a chancellor, with a few subordinate officials and a group of craftsmen, together with the Water Ministry Langzhong and others, riding in a four-wheeled carriage, under the envy of all colleagues, along the Concrete road, going east.

What satisfied the group most was that every two hours after walking, they could see a spacious inn beside the concrete road.Inside the inn, from the store manager to the waiter, all disabled and retired veterans, although their faces are fierce, they always have a smile on their faces, giving everyone a full sense of security.

Plus feeding the horse, eating, bathing, resting, one-stop service.

Although the price is a bit more expensive, you can still live in this kind of inn when you are away from home, and when they came to the inn, the local officials had already sent people to wait again and hosted a banquet for them.

Although it is a long trip for business, but the journey is extremely enjoyable.

Make everyone extremely satisfied.

In Chang'an City, Luoyang, Xingyang, Qingzhou and other places, the entire line of this cement road has been paved.

Aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen from all over the road ordered their servants to prepare their carriages and took the lead in running around.

After a lap, everyone was full of satisfaction.

Soon, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others in Chang'an City could feel that with the completion of the paving of cement roads, there were suddenly many merchants coming to Chang'an from Henan Province and other counties, as well as Jiangnan and other places. more than [-]%.

Then, on the cement road from Qingzhou to Chang'an City, hundreds of thousands of tolls were collected every day.

Seeing this, all the aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but shine their eyes, and became active again in paving the cement road.

……

Lijiazhuang.

Princess Cui Mi has been pregnant for two months, she eats and drinks every day, and is watched by several old women sent by Li Yuan.

Even, big night.

If Li Xuan wanted Nuan Yu to be gentle for a while, he had to sneak around.

Li Xuan finally found an opportunity to lie on the sofa with his wife and children, but after a while, Zi Yun walked over and reported in a soft voice.

"Your Majesty, Cui Wulang and Zheng Jiulang are asking to see you!"

"Didn't they come here a few days ago, why did they come again?"

Li Xuan stared, his face full of anger.

"Just say that the king is not here!"

Hearing this, Zi Yun looked at Cui Mi helplessly.

"Sanlang, the fifth brother and Zheng Jiulang came to see you last time, but it was a month ago. Now, if you suddenly come to see you, there must be something important, so it's better to see you!"

Cui Mi sighed softly and said in a low voice.

"Hmph, two spoiled bastards, this king finally had such an opportunity, and even chased after the door to disturb this king, more annoying than those old wives!"

Li Xuan sat up with an unhappy face, and walked down.

On the first floor, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde stood helplessly in front of the sofa and did not dare to sit down.

When Li Xuan came down, his expression was startled, but he still hurriedly saluted.

"I have seen the king!"

"What is the matter between you two looking for this king?"

Li Xuan said in a bad mood.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The two of us came to see Your Majesty. We really had no other choice."

Not knowing how they and others provoked the king, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde smiled wryly, and said hastily.

"Hmph, you two are not only the sons of Cui and Zheng's family, but in Chang'an City, you are surrounded by this king. Who else dares to persecute you two?"

Li Xuan looked cold and asked directly.

"Back to the king, it is the nobles of the entire Chang'an City and those top families of the Tang Dynasty!"

Cui Hongmo said with a bitter face.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan was startled, and glanced at the two of them in a daze.

"What did the two of you do to offend all the dignitaries of the great Tang family?"

"Ugh!"

Both Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is not entirely caused by the two of us, but also has something to do with Your Majesty..."

However, before he finished speaking, Li Xuan's expression darkened, and he spoke directly.

"Since the two of you are responsible, it's up to the two of you to solve it. I'm too lazy to take care of it!"

After speaking, he was ready to get up and walk up.

"Your Majesty..."

Seeing this, both Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde couldn't help but look anxious.

"Why, are you still relying on me?"

Li Xuan widened his eyes and looked at the two of them.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Chang'an City's dignitaries who want to buy baijiu! They didn't dare to come to look for Your Majesty, so they invited the two of us over there, and asked us to beg Your Majesty to resume the baijiu auction!"

Cui Hongmo said quickly.

"They still have the face to let me auction liquor?"

Li Xuan was stunned, and then his face was full of anger.

"Where did they come from? Go back and tell those bastards that if you want baijiu, you must either attack the king's Li family village, or... there is no second way. The king has nothing to lack. Why do you need to give those evil people Things, auction liquor? Let them enjoy this delicacy?"

Hearing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde's faces were filled with wry smiles.

"My Majesty, baijiu is such a fine wine, it is a fairy wine for the dignitaries of the Tang family. Before that, the king only sold it to the dignitaries of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City.

During this period of time, with the completion of the paving of the cement road from Chang'an City to Qingzhou, the aristocratic families in Jiangnan and other places also sent people to Chang'an City, and brought a few carts of money, just to auction off the king's liquor .

Now, the dignitaries of the aristocratic families gathered in Chang'an City are already making a fuss over liquor!If there is no more liquor auction, those aristocratic families may still fight in Chang'an City, and the troubles will be endless! "
