Chapter 232 The old man is here

Li Xuan chuckled and continued.

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't come, I'm going to suggest Your Majesty to open a cement workshop near Qingzhou and a cement workshop in Xingyang. At the same time, cement roads are paved from Chang'an to Xingyang, cement roads are paved from Qingzhou to Xingyang, and cement roads are paved from Xingyang to Qingzhou and Chang'an!

In this way, construction will be started everywhere and it will be built in less than two months!"

"First pave cement roads for Chang'an and Qingzhou?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others were all stunned.

Immediately, after thinking for a moment, I looked happy.

"Xuanba said very much, Luoyang paved cement roads to build for Luoyang first!"

"This reason is reasonable, and so many aristocratic families in Luoyang will definitely agree happily!"

"Even if the aristocratic family disagrees, the Changsun family and the Zheng family must agree!"

"Anyway, no matter what transactions those aristocratic families have reached secretly, the first cement road will be built first!"

"Luoyang is connected to the Grand Canal. As long as the cement roads of Luoyang and Chang'an are connected, our Tang Dynasty's control over the south will inevitably be strengthened, and the food from the south can also be quickly transported to Guanzhong!"

“…”

Without Li Xuan's words, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji suddenly realized the benefits and feasibility of paving Luoyang cement roads first.

They just thought about how to deal with those aristocratic families before, but they never thought about it. They just jumped out of the aristocratic families and paved cement roads according to their wishes.

How can aristocratic families who give priority to building those roads, disagree?

Anyway, the court had the greatest say in the Lujian Department and the Fangjian Department! When the aristocratic family came in, they just wanted the aristocratic family to pay for the money.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task at the moment is to open a cement factory first. You can take advantage of the establishment of the Housing and Road Construction Department to give your Majesty some benefits to your confidant ministers, such as paving cement roads for the families of all the Dukes, or paving cement roads for the prefectures and counties around Chang'an City!"

Li Xuan reminded.

"this?"

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi, Fang Xuanling and others were all stunned.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were full of joy.

Among the few people, Fang Xuanling came from the Fang family in Qinghe, who was a descendant of Yao. Cheng Zhijie came from the Cheng family in Dong'a, Jeju, and was not far from Qinghe.

Li Xiaogong will not talk about it anymore, Li clan relatives, and the Li family in Chengji, Longxi.

In addition to Li Xiaogong, from Chang'an to Luoyang and then to Qingzhou, they can also pave cement roads for their main house.

Du Ruhui is the real Du family in Jingzhao, and is from Duling County near Chang'an City.

These days, the head of the Fang family and the magistrate of Duling County came to see him every day.

"And, taking advantage of these days, I can still keep an eye on the supervisor and check it all the time. Teaching more Aristocrats who are proficient in paving cement roads is also a good thing for the construction of the Fangjian and Road Construction Department!"

Li Xuan continued.

"Xuanba's words are reasonable!"

Li Shimin hurriedly said.

Du Ruhui respectfully bowed to Li Xuanba, and Li Xuanba's suggestion helped him to relieve his siege.

"Huh, will you be a supervisor?"

Suddenly, Cheng Zhijie looked happy.

Li Shimin and Li Xuan looked over, and indeed saw Gongsun Nian, who was about to be the supervisor, and walked over with a sad look on his face.

"I have met Your Majesty, met His Highness, met His Highness, met the King, and met you all!"

Seeing Li Shimin, a smile came out from his face.

"What's the matter of worrying about being a prisoner?"

Li Shimin asked.

"When you go back to your Majesty, I have been visited by a family every day by many families and held a banquet. I can't refuse it. It's really a headache!"

As Li Shimin's confidant, he would naturally know what his Majesty's attitude towards those aristocratic families.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others on the side nodded in agreement.

Although they were Dukes of the State, during these days, those aristocratic families were always able to come to the door according to various relationships, and they could not refuse.

"I really wish I could live on the construction site every day and not go back to my house!"

"I didn't expect that I would have such a wish in prison!"

Li Shimin was stunned, his eyes full of strangeness.

"It just so happens that I have something to do, and I will arrange it for you!"

Gongsun Nian was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty also asks you to give me instructions. I will do my best!"

"I want to pave cement roads for prefectures and counties around Chang'an. Is there any problem with this matter going to be a supervisor?" Li Shimin said.

Gu Ma

"I dare to ask your Majesty, which county to build it first?"

Gongsun Nian was stunned and was very happy.

"What advice do you have?"

Li Shimin asked.

Gongsun Nian was stunned and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I think we should first pave the cement roads for Chang'an City. At the gates of Chang'an City, there are often ravines at the gates of the city. Not only does the carriages and horses walk and bumpy, but whenever it rains, there will inevitably be puddles, and the people are complaining!"

"good!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to pave cement roads for Duling County at the same time!"

On the side, Du Ruhui also bowed and said quickly.

"Can!"

Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui in surprise and nodded slightly, "But Duling County is only twenty miles away from Chang'an City, and it is not worth setting up a card and collecting commercial tax!"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the Du family and all the families in Duling County know about this and will also pay for this money!"

Du Ruhui said quickly.

"Can!"

Li Shimin nodded and looked at Gongsun Nian.

"In this way, is it feasible to pave cement roads together with Duling County?"

"Please rest assured that you will be able to complete the construction quickly day and night!"

Gongsun Nian nodded quickly.

"I don't want to go day and night. As long as I will be a supervisor during this period, I will teach you more skilled in cement!"

Li Shimin said.

Gongsun Nian was stunned and quickly bowed, "I must do my best!"

"Very good!"

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, after chatting with Li Xuan for a long time, Li Shimin took Changsun Wuji and others to leave slowly.

...

The second day.

Lijiazhuang has once again welcomed a wave of tourists with special identities!

Li Xuan had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and greet him in person.

"I have met His Highness, the Cui family in Qinghe, Cui Xuanlan, and I have met His Highness, King of Jin!"

Outside the door, a kind-hearted and beautiful old man saluted Li Xuan respectfully.

"Li Xuan has met the head of the Cui family!"

Li Xuan quickly returned the gift.

Afterwards, Li Xuan prepared to face the old man Cui and walk in.

Suddenly, an old man in gorgeous clothes standing in front of Zheng Mingde also saluted Li Xuan.

"I have met His Highness, Zheng Yuanzhe, a Zheng family in Xingyang!"

Li Xuan looked shocked, but he still quickly squeezed out a smile and bowed his hand to return the gift.

"Have you met the head of the Zheng family!"

Then, he led the two old men into the house.

After entering the room, Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe greeted Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others on the sofa again.

After a while of tossing, the two old men breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa.

Then, he looked at the entire hut with curiosity on his face.

As the heads of the five surnames and seven families, they are all local emperors in their respective prefectures and counties. They have never treated this way for so many years.

I never thought that the dignified prince, His Majesty's third brother, would live in such a small hut.

"I wonder what happened to the two heads of the family come to visit?"

After Cheng Chusi and others presented tea, Li Xuan still asked the same question.

"I heard that Your Highness is willing to help our family and pave the cement road for the Cui family in Qinghe. I will come to thank you very much!"

Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe were stunned and quickly bowed and said.

...
