“How to pay?”

"Reply to all generals, you will have to pay as much as you need to build a house!" "Hiss. You have to pay it in one go!"

“That’s right!’

"The same is true for Duke Su and Duke Qi and others?"

"naturally!"

The generals were stunned for a while and then said, "You wait for me. I will go back now and ask the butler to count the population on my general's farm!"

Lv Kuang:

After listening, my nervous body relaxed a little, and then nodded repeatedly.

He respectfully sent these old killers out of the official office, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lijiazhuang, Banshan Villa.

Because the terrain of this north courtyard is high and it feels like it is halfway up the mountain, Li Shimin called it the Banshan courtyard on the first day of his residence.

The villa covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres and has six courtyards.

As Li Shimin and his family moved in, the entire courtyard was filled with imperial guards.

Especially on the courtyard wall, there are rows of imperial guards standing, with tightly guarded.

Everyone in Lijiazhuang subconsciously stayed away from here.

At this moment, there is also a three-story building in the front yard of the villa in the middle of the mountain. The structure inside is similar to that of Li Xuan's main house.

However, there are not so many houses, the entire first and second floors are bright except for the pillars.

Especially on the second floor, there are two large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Two rows of large sofas were placed on one side, and Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others sat in a row.

There were several plates of cold melons and cold ice in front of the people. While eating cold melons and cold ice, they looked at the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling window, which was very comfortable.

Since Li Shimin came, he never wanted to leave again.

Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others even looked at the large floor-to-ceiling window in front of them, their eyes glowing green.

"If the house in my house hadn't been renovated, I would have to increase the two floors and build a building with such large floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides!"

"Your building will collapse directly the next day!"

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others subconsciously curled their lips.

"well!'

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Afterwards, after looking around, Cheng Chusi looked happy again.

"However, by winter, we can live in such a house!"

"Your Majesty, a small courtyard of a village has thirty stakes, and my old Cheng Villa has thirty stakes. After calculation, my village has more than ten thousand stakes.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that such cement houses are cheaper than building wooden houses

"Um?"

As he listened, Li Shimin became less and less wrong as he listened. He put down the cold melon in his hand and looked at Cheng Zhijie.

"It's less than ten thousand chunks of money built by your farm?"

Cheng Zhijie said with some confusion: "Your Majesty, my village has only fifty households. Even if it is paved with cement roads, it is only five thousand chunks!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling a little disbelief: "Five thousand jins, or the cement construction of a whole village?" "Reply to Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is!"

Cheng Zhijie was a little confused.

"Then why does it take 200,000 guan to build a six-story palace?"

Li Shimin looked confused.

"Two hundred thousand coins?"

Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but look surprised.

"Have you heard it wrong?"

"This matter is what Xuanba said to me, and I'm sure I won't be wrong!"

Li Shimin slowly shook his head.

"But, Your Majesty just built a palace, it will cost less than 200,000 yuan in any case!"

Changsun Wuji said with some confusion.

At this time, a cautious voice came from the side.

"Father, what the Master said at that time should be the money spent by the Master to build Lijiazhuang!"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others hurriedly looked at the source of the sound.

In the corner beside him, Li Chengqian was holding a memorial in his hands, looking carefully at Li Shimin and others.

"You said that the 200,000 guan is the number of Lijiazhuang built?" Li Shimin asked

"Back to Father, this should be true!"

Li Chengqian hurriedly replied: "The account book for building Lijiazhuang is compiled by Erchen, Li Chongyi and others. Erchen remembers clearly that the entire Lijiazhuang was built, including labor, craftsmen and those materials, and the total cost was 205,100 yuan.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he asked again: "This money can be counted as the small courtyard of this villa and the two families of Cui Zheng?"

“Go back to Aye, it’s all included.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, "Not only that, even the paddy fields and roads are included!"

Li Shimin:

After a while, he looked weird.

"So, I asked how much it would cost to build a palace that day, but Xuanba was talking about the money to build the entire Lijiazhuang?" "Father, that should be true!" Li Chengqian nodded quickly.

"How much does it cost to build a palace?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Father, you should be about 10,000 yuan!" Li Chengqian thought for a moment and hurriedly reported the report.

"Very good!"

Li Shimin looked overjoyed, "After the autumn harvest, I will ask the generals and the Fangjian Department to build a palace for me quickly!"

On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others were stunned.

Then, his face was full of bitterness.

Cheng Zhijie hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have paid the money to Fang Jiansi first!"

"Paid the money?"

Li Shimin was stunned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you can make reservations for your payment. As long as the autumn harvest is completed, Lu Jiansi can build a farm for me first!" Cheng Zhijie looked proud.

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"In this way, I can only let the general serve as a supervisor to build a palace for me!"

"Your Majesty Cheng Zhijie looked anxious.

"Zhijie, what are your objections?"

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Zhijie indifferently.

Suddenly, Cheng Zhijie fell into a state of paralysis and lay on the sofa with a depressed face, full of regret.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all exhale secretly, not wanting to say more.

However, in Chang'an City, there are constant debates in a luxurious mansion.

"This wind must not last long!"

"Do you know that not only Li Er hates us now, but even the soldiers and generals of the twelve guards are full of hatred for our aristocratic families.

"But, so many farmers go to work as laborers and pave roads, and no one takes care of our farmland, so that would be a huge loss.

"And, in this matter, we act in business and are fair and righteous. What can those reckless men do to us?" "Oh, don't forget that our family has invested money on that cement road!"

"So what, I'm only such a small part of me!"

"But, we still need to take items such as stir-fried tea and glass from the King of Jin and those Majesties.
