Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2234 There are many benefits

The autumn rain is very heavy.

It is heavier than the rain in summer.

And these rains kept falling.

In this way, Chang'an City was shrouded in heavy rain.

In the distance, misty rain can be seen.

The heavy rain continued like this until it finally stopped the next morning.

And when the heavy rain stopped, Chang'an City returned to its former prosperity and excitement.

But at this time, everywhere in Chang'an City were talking about those cement roads.

"When I came here, I saw a carriage overturned. Alas, the dirt road is not very easy to walk. It will be like this when it rains. If we don't take a carriage, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to come over. But if we take a carriage, then Wagons are easy to overturn, really."

"Who says it's not, the part of the way I came here is not very easy to walk, I still let my boy carry me here, otherwise my clothes will be dirty."

"It's true that the dirt roads are difficult to walk on, but when I walked on those cement roads, I didn't have such worries. The cement roads are really comfortable to walk on. There is only a layer of wetness on the top, and there is no water at all. "

"Yeah, I'm leaving too. The cement road is good. It would be great if there were cement roads everywhere in Chang'an City."

"Who said it wasn't..."

These people talked a lot. After they experienced a heavy rain, they finally knew that the cement road was good.

And they are just these ordinary people, those businessmen, after experiencing this incident, they understand the benefits of cement better, and they feel that this cement is very beneficial for them to do business.

For example, if there are cement roads everywhere in Chang'an City, even after it rains, their goods can be quickly transported away or brought in by horse-drawn carriage. For them, time is money, and they can quickly It is an opportunity for them to exchange goods.

But if there is no cement road, in order to prevent the carriage from overturning, many times, they would not dare to carry the goods immediately after it rains, it is too dangerous.

In addition to these, the cement road is the convenience of my own.

After the rain stopped, they also went to other businessmen's houses. When they saw that those businessmen's houses had cement roads, they immediately felt that the cement roads were really comfortable to walk on. There was no mud after the rain, and Won't stain your own clothes.

The most important thing is that there is a very wide concrete road on the house, which makes people feel grand.

Their businessmen are not short of money, what they lack is such a style.

Other businessmen have made concrete roads like this, so how could they not do it?

Therefore, when they left these merchants' homes, they had already ordered a lot of cement.

When the day became clearer, concrete roads began to be built one after another everywhere in Chang'an City, and those merchants who brought a lot of cement back from Liangzhou City all made a lot of profits from it. .

After they got rid of the cement in their hands, they didn't care about the winter coming soon, and the New Year was getting closer, so they set foot on the road to Xiliang again.

For them, as long as they can make money, they don't care even if it may be over a year when they come back.

To become a qualified businessman, the first thing to do is to make money. Without this purpose, many businesses will not be able to do well.
-
There was a fever of building cement roads in Chang'an City.

Although Li Shimin was in the deep palace, these things could not be hidden from him.

"Yuan Aiqing, what do you think about the construction of cement roads by the common people?"

Li Shimin asked Yuan Lou, and Yuan Lou said: "Your Majesty, when I entered the palace, I also passed by this concrete road. It is indeed much more comfortable to walk up. It’s not easy to walk, even the speed of travel will be much faster, but this cement is only available in Xiliang, if we build cement roads in Chang’an City, I’m afraid it will cost a lot of money, the gains outweigh the losses, and in the end it will be cheaper for Xiliang.”

For Xiliang, Yuan Lou didn't seem to have much affection. After following Li Shimin for so long, he was very aware of Li Shimin's fear of Qin Tian, ​​so he must have said so.

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction after listening to his words.

"What Yuan Aiqing said makes sense, but as the Son of Heaven, I should think about the people of the world. If this cement road is really beneficial to the people, then I have to do it."

Yuan Lou bowed his head and remained silent, while Li Shimin continued to say: "Order Xu Jingzong to go to Xiliang again to purchase cement. I want to build the main streets of Chang'an City, such as East and West, Zhuque Street, into cement. Roads, and more, let the order go on, saying that my Tang court encouraged the people to build cement roads."

The latter order is of no use to many people, who have no financial strength, even if you encourage him to build, he will not build, but after this order, many capable people may start They had no idea of ​​building a cement road, but because of the encouragement of the imperial court, they might instead buy cement for construction.

In this way, as long as these people are mobilized, the cement roads in Chang'an City will definitely bloom everywhere.

After Li Shimin gave such orders, someone soon passed on these orders, and at this time, Li Shimin asked again: "It's already this time, isn't Qin Tian going to the capital Chang'an soon?"

Yuan Lou nodded and said: "Hui Sheng said that the king of Xiliang may return to Beijing within a few days, but I got the news that when the king of Xiliang was passing by Pingliang City, he sent the county magistrate Zhang of Pingliang City to his family. Xiaodu was killed, and the cause of this matter is still under investigation."

Hearing that Qin Tian had left Xiliang, he killed an imperial court official and his family. Li Shimin's face suddenly became ugly, and he even stood up all of a sudden.

"What did you say, you killed the whole family?"

Anger, indescribable anger, that Zhang Fa is an official ordered by the court, Qin Tian kills as soon as he says, does he take the laws of the Tang Dynasty seriously?

And he is so cruel that he even kills other people's family members?
What does Qin Tian mean by this? Is he demonstrating against Li Shimin and the laws of the Tang Dynasty?

Does he feel that he is the king of Xiliang, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty can no longer control him?

Thinking of the revision of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Tian had made great contributions, Li Shimin suddenly felt that this was ridiculous and ironic.

"Send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter. After Qin Tian returns to Chang'an City, he will be imprisoned first, and a decision will be made after the investigation of the matter is completed."

He, Li Shimin, also wanted to give Qin Tian a blow. He wanted Qin Tian to know that the laws of the Tang Dynasty were still the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and the King of Xiliang was no exception.
