Chapter 235 Cheng Zhijie: Your Majesty, this is a fortune!
"Whoever disagrees will be able to withdraw!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin's face sank and his words were cold.
Hearing this, the families below couldn't help but look stunned. Li Er's expression was completely different from what they had expected before!
However, Li Shimin did not give these aristocratic families a chance to respond and said directly: "A few days ago, the King of Jin gave me advice that the first cement road was built directly from Chang'an to Qingzhou.
Do you have any objections to this matter?”
"Go back to Your Majesty, I have no objection!"
"Your Majesty, I have no objection!"
Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe were both stunned when they heard Li Shimin's words, and then hurriedly said.
"Head Cui? Head Zheng, wait..."
When hearing these two people so unconcealed, all the families except for the Henan Road were full of surprise.
Then, I couldn't help but guess in my heart, was this Li Er trying to win over a number of aristocratic families and suppress them?
still……
The more I think about it, the more mixed the families are.
"In this way, the two heads of the family can discuss with Pei Xiang, the Ministry of Revenue, the Fang Jiansi and the Lu Jiansi!"
Li Shimin nodded slowly and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe bowed and bowed, but after sitting down, their eyes were filled with bitter smiles.
This time, they were completely placed by this Majesty, opposite the aristocratic families in the world. I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a disaster.
"Who else is going to commit to this path?"
Afterwards, Li Shimin continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, the Changsun family in Luoyang is willing to join us!"
"Your Majesty, Qinghefang's family is willing to join us!"
"Your Majesty, the Yu family in Luoyang is willing..."
Under the fearful eyes of the families, more than 30 families stood up.
But I never thought that if Li Shimin paved cement roads for them first, they would also actively pave them.
On one side, Li Shimin and the ministers couldn't help but look confused.
Then, his face was full of joy.
This time, these aristocratic families have no power to resist!
Seeing this, the Wang family, the Lu family, and a number of aristocratic families could not sit still.
Everyone knows how important the location of Luoyang is. In the future, it will definitely be the cement road from Chang'an City to Luoyang, with the most numerous caravans.
Therefore, they looked at each other and stood up slowly.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to invest some money!"
Li Shimin chuckled and said, "It's great!"
"However, as King Jin said, the aristocratic families of each state can only invest in other state roads after they have enough money to keep the cement roads where their families are located."
"this?"
After hearing this, all the aristocratic families were stunned.
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
Then, the next thing was natural.
After the banquet was over, a group of aristocratic families began to find Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji and other ministers responsible for forming the Lu Jian and Fang Jianshe. They began to calculate the money in various ways, debating how many shares each family would need to occupy.
Originally, they rushed over from all the way to the Fang Jiansi and Lu Jiansi.
Who would have thought that Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe, the two old guys, surrendered to the enemy before they even started.
And all the families in Henan Road followed without any resistance.
This is completely different from what they discussed before?
The promised families in the world to form an alliance, advance and retreat together, and force Li Er to give up some members?
As a result, it was all a group of ungrateful wolves!
well!
Thinking of the fact that the families were more wary of each other.
Afterwards, Li Er and a group of court officials fully realized the tyranny of the aristocratic family.
Gu Ka
The Cui family in Qinghe directly paid 300,000 guan, accounting for half of the road from Qinghe to Chang'an.
The Zheng family in Xingyang also paid 300,000 yuan, accounting for half of the road from Qinghe to Chang'an.
Immediately, the Fang family in Qinghe, the Changsun family in Luoyang, the Yuwen family in Luoyang, the Dugu family in Luoyang, the Yu family in Luoyang, and other Guanlong groups, the Wei, Pei, Xue, Yang, Liu, Du family, Jiangnan family and other major families, the Cui family in Boling, the Lu family in Fanyang, the Li family in Longxi, the Li family in Zhaojun, and the Wang family in Taiyuan, as well as the ministers such as Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Yuchi Gong, allocated the remaining 30% of the remaining!
In less than half a day, I went directly to the Ministry of Revenue for 2.7 million guan.
"Your Majesty, you're rich now!"
Cheng Zhijie laughed directly.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that it would be so simple to ask the aristocratic family to pay for it!"
"Each family only needs to pay tens of thousands of guan to pay the money for paving roads from Chang'an City to Qingzhou. Two million guan, those aristocratic families did not argue, and they took them out, and they were even a little impatient!"
In Liangyi Hall, Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others were all full of joy and even disbelief.
"You dare to ask your Majesty, how much does the cement cost?"
At this moment, Pei Ji thought of something and asked carefully.
"Don't worry, this money is completely enough!"
On the side, Changsun Wuji replied.
"In this way, the imperial court can pave the road from Chang'an to Qingzhou with only some craftsmen's wages!"
Pei Ji said excitedly, "Your Highness King Jin is really a genius!"
"Pei Xiang rest assured, the craftsman's wages are sufficient, and even after careful calculations, they can also include all the craftsman's food!" Fang Xuanling gently held the green beard, his face full of joy.
"this……"
Pei Ji looked surprised and stared at the boss, "In this way, if you pave such a long road, the court does not need to spend a copper coin?"
“That’s right!”
Fang Xuanling nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, the people of the world are blessed!"
Pei Ji quickly saluted Li Shimin respectfully.
Although his Pei family seemed to have acted as a sucker, there are still some profits based on the road from Chang'an City to Qingzhou.
As long as the Pei family is not losing money, it can still bring huge benefits to the people of the world, Pei Ji is supportive.
Similarly, the same is true for Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling.
Otherwise, I wouldn't pay it myself, and I would give it to my family and pay it as well.
As a result, although all the aristocratic families were unaware of it, they were willing to pay the money.
At night.
The excited Li Shimin told the story to Empress Changsun again.
Empress Changsun was also shocked.
"Erlang, in this case, the court does not have to pay any copper coins. These aristocratic families will rush to pave all the prefectures of the Tang Dynasty and lay cement roads!"
"That's precisely, those aristocratic families all claim to be aloof, but now they are played with by Xuan Ba in applause!"
Li Shimin looked proud.
"The King of Jin is such a genius!" Empress Changsun sighed with emotion.
"With Xuanba helping me, I will restore the prosperous Tang Dynasty to its peak!" Li Shimin looked firm.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, with such a wise king of Jin, the Tang Dynasty will surely be able to be unprecedentedly prosperous under the rule of Erlang!"
Empress Changsun congratulated with a smile on her face.
"It's a pity that Xuanba is so lazy and is like a child. He has been staying in Lijiazhuang and not going to the court to help me!"
As he said that, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh softly again.
"Your Majesty, the King of Jin is such a person, which is not a blessing for Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty!" Empress Changsun said thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, Guanyin maid, I will never believe it. Xuanba will have a strange intention!"
Li Shimin was stunned and said quickly.
"Your Majesty, I believe in King Jin. But there are always some people who will not be at peace!"
Empress Changsun said slowly.
"According to Xuanba's nature, there will never be any worries about Guanyin Bi!"
Li Shimin looked firm.
Chapter completed!
