Chapter 218 Visiting Lijiazhuang
"When you go back to the king, there are many good items in your mansion. When you were named King of Jin, Your Majesty gave you many rare items. The list of these items was brought by the villain, so that you can see it. You seem to have forgotten it!"
Li Chang hurriedly bowed and said.
"It's good if there is!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
A dignified King of Jin, if he didn’t even have an item to take out a betrothal gift, it would be really embarrassing!
"Leave a few of those items just in case, and load the rest of them into the car and let Pei Xiang send them!"
"Yes, king!"
Hearing this, a hint of heartache flashed in Li Chang's eyes, but he still said quickly.
"Ahem~"
Now, Li Yuan finally couldn't help but cough.
"Xuanba, I have prepared your betrothal gift for you, and I don't need to use your palace treasury!"
"Um?"
Li Xuan was stunned and said with a certain expression: "This is my marriage to my wife, and the betrothal gift should be given to my Prince Jin's mansion!"
"Hmph, Erlang's betrothal gift was also given by me!"
Li Yuan said, "I have prepared your betrothal gift. I will start loading the car now and it will be completed in two days!"
"Two days?"
Li Xuan was shocked, "How many car betrothal gifts do you need?"
"There are 66 cars in total, but they are all expensive things. You need to be very careful when loading them. This will take a little longer!"
Li Yuan said slowly.
"Sixty-six cars?"
Li Xuan was shocked again.
"Um!"
Li Yuan glanced at Li Xuan, "Don't be upset. The collection of your Jin Prince's Mansion is enough to have sixty-six rare treasures. However, this betrothal gift is the last thing I can do for you!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he asked seriously: "Xuanba, once the betrothal gift is passed, it is a date. Do you want to marry the princess?"
"After the construction of the villa is completed!"
Li Xuan said directly.
"Why have to wait for the construction of the other courtyard to be completed?"
Li Yuan was stunned.
"It's just right to marry the princess back to another courtyard!" Li Xuan said.
Li Yuan was stunned.
Li Chang beside him changed his face slightly and hurriedly said, "Master, you must not!"
"Why?" Li Xuan asked in confusion.
"Why can the princess enter the mansion? He or she is either in the Bingzhou King Jin Mansion or in the Chang'an? How can he marry someone else's courtyard? This kind of behavior is not in accordance with etiquette!" Li Chang quickly explained.
“…”
Only then did Li Xuan realize that this was the most etiquette place in the Tang Dynasty.
The royal palace is the mansion representing him. No matter how luxurious and grand the villa is built, it will always be a villa. If you can't get on the table, you will marry the royal palace to the villa. In the eyes of outsiders, even if it is his King of Jin, he looks down on the princess at all, and even outsiders, he looks down on the princess.
"In this way, then keep abreast of the autumn harvest!" Li Xuan said.
"good!"
Now, Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
After dinner, he headed to Chang'an City.
After Li Yuan left, Lijiazhuang welcomed another group of "tourists".
Now, Li Xuan calls those who come to Lijiazhuang, who don’t do serious business and are just idle, tourists!
However, although Li Xuan was not interested in these "tourists", he was very happy when he was the governor of Gongsun Nian and Chu Suiliang, the chief of the Jin Palace.
"I will serve as a supervisor to pay homage to Your Majesty, and to all the great kings and princes!"
"My minister, Chu Suiliang, the chief of the King of Jin, pay homage to Your Majesty, pay homage to the prince, pay homage to all the princes!"
"Two my dear friends, please give up the gift!"
Gu Yuan
Li Shimin had a gentle face and waited until Gongsun Nian and Chu Suiliang finished the ceremony.
I couldn't help but stomp the road under my feet with my feet, full of curiosity and surprise.
"I'll be in charge of the custody. Is this road the cement road you call?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, this road is a cement road!"
Gongsun Nian said quickly.
"Okay, it's really a magical object. In this few days, I can actually build such a wide and smooth road in Lijiazhuang!"
On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Li Chongyi and others looked at the gray road leading directly to Lijiazhuang Village, and their faces were full of marvel.
"Changshi Chu, tell me quickly. This road is really made of cement, so flat and hard, not the huge stone brought by the King of Jin with his divine power?"
"Old Mr. Cheng is talking nonsense. The road is at least meter wide and it is countless. How can there be such a huge rock in the world?"
Li Xiaogong sneered and looked at Chu Suiliang.
"Changshi Chu, I wonder how long it takes to build this road and how much money it costs?"
"When the prince returns to the county, the cement thing was made by the king who let the craftsmen below burn it. It is not valuable. What consumes a lot is the wages of the craftsmen and laborers!" Chu Suiliang explained.
After hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly looked at Gongsun Nian.
Gongsun Nian nodded repeatedly.
On the side, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were also full of joy and thoughtfulness.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Li Shimin and others seemed to hear someone shouting, and couldn't help but look up.
I vaguely saw that at the end of a cement road ahead, there was a man shouting at the craftsmen beside him, "It's probably a Zuni!"
A trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
"Changshi Chu, are you building a cement road there?"
Before Li Shimin could ask, Cheng Zhijie, who was standing beside him, asked curiously.
"Go back to Su Guogong, that's exactly!"
Chu Suiliang replied quickly.
"Your Majesty, you are working on a cement road. Do you have to go over and take a look?"
Cheng Zhijie looked happy, said to Li Shimin, then pulled Chu Suiliang and ran over there.
"His Majesty?"
Beside him, Li Chongyi, Changsun Wuji and others were also full of expectations.
"Let's go, I'll go over and take a look!"
"yes!"
As he said that, the group walked towards the place where the road was built.
After entering, everyone could see a Zuni man holding an iron gourd-like thing in his hand, shouting loudly.
Around it, a group of craftsmen and laborers, like mud, mixed a pile of gray soil and some sand with water.
Then, the two soldiers pushed a small iron cart and pushed the gray soil and fell to the road far away.
There, a group of craftsmen were scraping the gray soil with scrapers, blocking them with wooden boards on both sides.
"Your Majesty, these gray soils are cement. Mix them evenly with the sand, and then pour them on the road. After they are dried, they will become as hard as huge rocks. From then on, this cement road is not afraid of water or wheels being crushed!"
Gongsun Nian, the general manager, quickly explained.
"This thing is so magical!"
Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were all shocked.
It was like mud, and when it was dried, it would be like a huge rock. If it was used to build the road of the Tang Dynasty? Just thinking about it, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel excited.
Then, thinking of something, Li Shimin hurriedly looked at Gongsun Nian: "Will be the supervisor, and the same is true for building a house?"
"Back to your Majesty, there is a difference in building a house!"
Gongsun Nian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please come with me. I also need to use steel and small stones to build a house. The houses watered are hundreds of times harder than the road!"
“Harder than the road?”
Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were even more expectant.
While speaking, Gongsun Nian had already brought Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie and others to a huge pit!
Below the deep pit, there were more than 300 craftsmen, carrying more than 500 laborious labor, doing work that Li Shimin and others could not understand in an orderly manner!
Chapter completed!
