The next morning, Cheng Yaojin went to court.
Although I was cheated, I can't always hide, right?
What you should face still have to face!
"Yeah, isn't this Duke Lu? I heard you beat your son at home yesterday?" Changsun Wuji said to Cheng Yaojin with a smile.
Cheng Yaojin was already so dark, and now he was even more dark.
"I said Lao Cheng, don't beat your son if you're okay. Be careful that if you get old in the future, he will deal with you in reverse!" Fang Xuanling also said jokingly.
"Old Cheng, fortunately, Huaiyu talked to me when she came back, "Didn't your boy tell you?" Qin Qiong said with tact.
How should Cheng Yaojin answer?
He said he didn't believe what his son said at all?
Isn't that slap yourself in the face again?
"Do not care about your affairs? I will do whatever I want. If I don't accept it, I will have a fight with me?" Cheng Yaojin was angry and raised his fists.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin like this, everyone laughed, but no longer laughed at him.
Cheng Yaojin clenched his fists, feeling extremely irritable.
In addition to his stupid guy, he is still very dissatisfied with Zhao Chen now.
He dared to say that there was no need to spend money, so some people were willing to renovate the Suzaku Avenue.
Just a madman?
"Hey, Old Cheng, today is a bit strange." Qin Qiong walked to Cheng Yaojin and whispered.
"How strange?" Cheng Yaojin was also dissatisfied with Qin Qiong's jokes with others just now, and his tone was not very good.
"Look, there are many innocent faces here today." Qin Qiong signaled Cheng Yaojin to look over.
Cheng Yaojin was impatient. He looked up and saw a dozen middle-aged men in gorgeous robes standing together.
It seems that like them, they came to attend today's court meeting.
"Isn't this a famous businessman in Chang'an City?"
"The Zhang family in Shu, the Wu family in Jiangnan, and the He family in Guanzhong..." Cheng Yaojin said slowly.
He probably knows these people.
Cheng Yaojin loves drinking and making friends, so he naturally has a wide range of connections.
"So it's strange!" Qin Qiong said.
"I don't know..."
"Your Majesty has an order, and all officials will enter the court." The gate of the palace suddenly opened, and then a small yellow gate shouted loudly.
...
"I am here to pay homage to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin sat down and the ministers saluted one after another.
Li Shimin nodded and signaled everyone to get up.
"Your Majesty, I have found several wise men from Chang'an City about the renovation of the Suzaku Avenue." Changsun Wuji stepped forward and said to Li Shimin.
After finalizing the idea of ​​road construction yesterday, Li Shimin asked Changsun Wuji to find the famous rich people in Chang'an City.
These people are waiting outside the hall now.
The status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty was still not allowed to enter the house.
The merchants outside the hall were also nervous when they were asked to come here by Changsun Wuji.
"Xuan them come in." Li Shimin spoke.
Immediately, a eunuch shouted, asking these people to come into the hall.
Cheng Yaojin, who was standing next to him, looked confused.
Last night he also told Zhao Chen about the Zhuque Avenue. Why did the court meeting this morning? This is the first thing His Majesty said?
This is not a collusion, right?
Pooh!
Cheng Yaojin secretly scolded himself for being stupid.
Zhao Chen, a shopkeeper in the tavern, can also collude with His Majesty the Emperor.
Hey, it's not right. His Majesty the Emperor knows this boy Zhao Chen, then...
Cheng Yaojin suddenly realized that he seemed to have been cheated again!
"The grass-roots have seen Your Majesty!"
A group of merchants entered the hall and bowed to Li Shimin.
When they first entered the hall, these people were naturally extremely nervous and didn't even dare to raise their heads.
"You don't have to be polite. I'll call you here today to cooperate with you." Li Shimin said with a smile.
cooperate?
His Majesty the Emperor cooperates with merchants?
This is a huge thing!
The ministers who didn't know the specific matters were shocked.
But I also saw Fang Xuanling and the others, and didn't even say a word. It was obvious that I had known about this for a long time.
Moreover, according to Wei Zheng's troll's personality, if he didn't know, he should start squirting at this time.
"Your Majesty is the common ruler of the world. The people of the grass-roots have a humble status and dare not talk about cooperation with Your Majesty." Several merchants were shocked.
The emperor talked to them about cooperation, and they really dared to compete with the emperor for profit?
The few people immediately felt distressed and thought that they should be sick and would not come.
"Don't panic, Fang Xuanling, tell me about this cooperation!" Li Shimin couldn't stand it, so he handed over the matter to Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling understood what Li Shimin meant and walked out.
"The Suzaku Avenue has been disrepaired for so many places are already dilapidated. Your Majesty wants to renovate the Suzaku Avenue."
"Now the Tang Dynasty is at a critical moment, and the money from the treasury cannot be used for the time being, so Your Majesty wants to cooperate with you."
"Leave the renovation of the Suzaku Avenue to you. In exchange, Your Majesty allows you to charge the carriage fee for the Suzaku Avenue."
"For ten years, all the car and horse fees in these ten years are obtained by you, but the maintenance of Zhuque Street also requires you to pay for it."
"As for the amount of this carriage fee, you need to discuss with the Ministry of Revenue." Fang Xuanling said slowly.
For a moment, the ministers in the court looked shocked.
Cheng Yaojin's face collapsed even more.
Isn’t this the same thing as what Zhao Chen said last night?
Cheng Yaojin realized that His Majesty the Emperor's idea was what Zhao Chen told him.
Otherwise, there would be no such coincidence.
Moreover, that boy Zhao Chen even knew about this, he even made himself do something.
The little bastard is cruel enough!
Cheng Yaojin cursed in his heart!
After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, several businessmen were all surprised.
I thought that what His Majesty the Emperor said was like this.
Chang'an City is the commercial center of the Tang Dynasty, with countless cars and horses coming and going every day.
If you can really charge a car fee, you will definitely make a lot of money in ten years and you can also get along with the emperor.
Several businessmen looked at each other and found excitement in each other's eyes.
In this cooperation, let alone not losing money, so what if it is losing money?
This is a cooperation with the emperor.
This is something I have never heard of.
Just having the identity of cooperating with the emperor, it is not easy for them to make money wherever they go.
"Your Majesty is so respectful, how dare we not give our all?"
"We must do our best to do our best to do our best to the Tang Dynasty!"
Several businessmen looked excited and assured Li Shimin.
"Okay, I've recorded it!" Li Shimin was very happy.
He never expected that the method Zhao Chen and himself would be so relaxed.
It would cost at least one million to build a Suzaku Avenue.
For the Tang Dynasty treasury, this is a lot of money!
I thought to myself that boy Zhao Chen was indeed full of wisdom and could come up with such a way.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a long time. When he saw several merchants leaving happily, he did not come back to his senses.
Cheng Yaojin was wondering whether he would run away while he was now.
Otherwise, how could he eat that plate?
Chapter completed!
