The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 366 Cement Road
"Oh? Strong? Where did Wuji know about it?" Li Shimin glanced curiously at his eldest grandson Wuji.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, the road in my house has just been made of concrete some time ago. I have tried it myself, and it is indeed very strong." Changsun Wuji said.

"Really? I want to see that road!" Li Shimin became interested when he heard that there was a ready-made concrete road to see.

"It's my honor that Your Majesty is interested in this." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

That's it, Li Er and his party didn't go shopping in the East Market anymore, they called the accompanying guards, or those who got on the horses got on the horses, and those who got on the cars got on the cars, and rushed towards Changsun Wuji's house in a mighty way.

……

After the cement road was repaired, it was very smooth, and after special treatment, it was cleaned and it was very smooth. Li Shimin walked a few steps on it, stepped on it a few times, and nodded calmly: "This road seems to be real. good."

"I just don't know if it's strong or not. It would be great if it could be like a palace wall." Standing aside, Cheng Yaojin said carelessly.

"What's so difficult about this, you'll know if you try it." Yu Chigong was a blacksmith, and he has a straightforward temper. After hearing the words, he turned around and snatched a chain hammer from a guard, and smashed it on the ground when the wheel was round. down.

Changsun Wuji looked at those murderers, and the corners of his eyes twitched. He had lived for decades and had never seen anyone swing a chain hammer at someone else's house.But before the old grandson finished feeling, the chain hammer weighing more than 20 kilograms had hit the ground with a bang, and then bounced up again, leaving a few small white spots on the ground, and the chain hammer The several spikes on the hammer had been completely flattened.

"It's such a solid ground." Li Shimin looked at everything in front of him, a little surprised, but he didn't blame Yu Chigong for his recklessness, anyway, it wasn't his family's land that was smashed, so it doesn't matter if it was smashed.

Cheng Yaojin looked at it for a while and said, "Hmph, I knew that Li Muyun was dishonest, and he said that there is not enough cement. If it is not enough, how did the floor of the old fox's house be repaired!"

Swearing at other people's old foxes in other people's homes, except for Cheng Yaojin, there is basically no one else. Changsun Wuji's old face was flushed with anger. If it weren't for the embarrassment that His Majesty the Emperor was by the side, it is estimated that going up and fighting him desperately would not be enough. have.

Of course, to some people, Lao Cheng's words still had a strong sour taste in them, obviously envious and jealous.

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't care about these little details, and he didn't care about Lao Cheng's complaints at all. He just looked at the ground and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Li Shimin raised his head and said to Zhangsun Wuji, "Wuji, do you know how much the road will cost when repairing it?"

Speaking of the cost, Changsun Wuji was a little embarrassed: "I don't know the exact value, this road... This road was promised by Xiaoyao Hou for free, so it doesn't cost money."

"The bastard would be so kind? He gave it away for free? I'm afraid the money has already been counted into the wall." Cheng Yaojin didn't seem to know that he had become hated by thousands of people, and he was still chattering on the sidelines.

Naturally, Li Shimin wouldn't say anything to him like a bastard. After hearing what he said, he just pretended not to hear it, and continued to ask Changsun Wuji: "Then according to your observation, will the cost of this road be very high?"

"Your Majesty, if you only count the cost, I don't think the road will cost much. If you consider the service life and future maintenance costs, I think the cost of repairing the cement road is only lower than the normal official road."

"Is that really the case..." Li Shimin held his arms and rubbed his chin with one hand: "If this is the case, then it is not impossible for Li Muyun to renovate all the official roads in Shuozhou."

……

"What's not allowed? It's too good!" Li Muyun squatted on a chair in Shanyin City, Shuozhou, and patted the table to give an educational lesson to a group of officials below.

"Your Excellency, despite what you said, our government office is really about to run out of money, but this road has only been repaired a little bit." Qian Botao said with a bitter face.

"No money? How could there be no money?" Li Muyun was taken aback by the words.

Qian Botao said helplessly: "My lord, I really have no money! Do the math, although the stones for road construction do not cost money, but the cement always costs money, right? And there is labor cost, you paid so much labor cost High, although the progress of road construction has been accelerated, the cost is also high."

The corners of Li Muyun's mouth twitched, he looked at Qian Botao with the eyes of a monster, and then at Jiang Renbin, Fang Yizhi and the others: "You won't always be using government money to build roads?"

"Master Shijun, what we are cultivating is the official way. This is the official business. What can we do without the government's money?" Jiang Renbin felt that Li Muyun's question was very strange, so he asked back.

"You..." Li Muyun only felt that he was really defeated by the gangsters, and he jumped off the chair angrily: "Have all of you been assigned by idiots? What are you pretending to be in your head? Use your own money to build roads, who do you think I am? God of wealth! I am a bandit, bandit! Do you know what bandits do? They specialize in robbery! Spend your own money to build roads, why don’t you Compensate the wives and children!"

Maybe it was because he was too excited, Killer Li stood in the lobby of the government office as an assassin, blatantly declaring that he was a bandit, which made everyone feel very embarrassed.

Sun Liang, the county magistrate of Shanyin County, who had been in contact with him for a long time, had to stand up and remind him: "My lord, I, we are officials, not bandits!"

But obviously Sun Liang underestimated the extent of Li Muyun's hysteria. He had just finished speaking when he heard a certain assassin yelling: "What's the difference?! It's just that one has a license and the other doesn't."

It's over, I'm too deep into the drama!Fang Yizhi, who had been silent all this time, had a flash of worry in his eyes, he really didn't know if Li Muyun wanted to drag everyone into the mountain now, should he follow him or not.

……

Chang'an, after leaving Changsun Wuji's home, Li Shimin returned to the palace in a good mood.

Empress Changsun is teaching her youngest son Li Zhi to practice calligraphy in the bedroom. The little guy is already four years old. He is sitting behind a small table, concentrating on writing big characters that are not much stronger than a dog crawling. When Li Shimin comes in, he immediately throws the pen away Get up and run over to hug Li Er's thigh: "Father, father! Pheasant misses you!"

"Pheasant slave, don't be naughty, come back and finish writing!" Empress Changsun knew Li Zhi's behavior of taking the opportunity to be lazy, and exposed him mercilessly.

"Oh!" Li Zhi, who was not as tall as Li Er's thigh, was caught in the dark, pouted and looked at his father who was looking at him with great interest, and moved back to his small table step by step.

Seeing that her son had gone back to write again, Empress Changsun came to Li Shimin's side and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, did you encounter any happy things today?"

"The queen who knows me, I really can't hide anything from you." Li Shimin smiled and handed the folding fan in his hand to Queen Changsun, and patted Li Zhi on the head as he passed by, and then said happily : "I heard that Li Muyun is cultivating all the official roads in the entire Shuozhou. The Guanyin servant girl thinks that when he has no money, how can I deal with him!"
