Chapter 235 Cheng Zhijie: Your Majesty, this is a fortune!
"Whoever disagrees can withdraw!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin's face couldn't help but darken, and his words were cold.
Hearing this, all the aristocratic families below couldn't help but look startled. Li Er's expression was completely different from what they had expected!
However, Li Shimin did not give these aristocratic families a chance to react and said directly: "A few days ago, the King of Jin gave me advice. The first cement road was to be laid directly from Chang'an to Qingzhou.
Do the Cui Family Heads of Qinghe and Zheng Family Heads of Xingyang have any objections to this matter?"
"Your Majesty, I have no objections!"
"Your Majesty, I have no objections!"
Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe were startled after hearing Li Shimin's words, and then spoke quickly.
"Master Cui? Master Zheng, wait..."
Hearing that these two people were so open-minded, everyone in the family, except for the wealthy families in Henan Province, was filled with surprise.
Later, I couldn't help but secretly guess, could this Li Er want to win over a group of aristocratic families and suppress a group of aristocratic families?
still……
The more they think about it, the more confused the minds of the aristocratic families become.
"In this way, the two heads of the family can discuss with Prime Minister Pei, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Department of Housing and Construction and the Department of Road Construction in a while!"
Li Shimin nodded slowly and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe bowed their hands, but after sitting down, their eyes were full of wry smiles.
This time, they were completely put on the opposite side of the world's aristocratic families by His Majesty, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"Who else among you wants to take this path?"
Then, Li Shimin continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson of Luoyang is willing to surrender!"
"Your Majesty, the Qinghe Fang family is willing to surrender!"
"Your Majesty, the Yu family in Luoyang would like to..."
Under the frightened gazes of all the aristocratic families, more than thirty aristocratic families stood up with a roar.
But they never thought that if Li Shimin laid cement roads for them first, they would also actively lay them.
On one side, Li Shimin and all the ministers could not help but look confused.
Immediately, everyone's faces were filled with joy.
This time, these aristocratic families have no power to resist!
Seeing this, the Wang family, the Lu family, and other aristocratic families could not sit still.
Everyone knows how important Luoyang's location is. In the future, the cement road from Chang'an City to Luoyang will definitely have the largest number of caravans.
Therefore, they looked at each other and slowly stood up.
"Your Majesty, we are also willing to invest some money!"
Li Shimin chuckled and said, "Very good!"
"However, as King Jin said, each state's aristocratic families can only invest in other state roads after retaining enough money for the cement roads where their respective families are located."
"this?"
Hearing this, all the aristocratic families were stunned.
However, there is nothing that can be done.
Then, what happened next was a matter of course.
After the aristocratic families hurriedly finished the banquet, they all began to find Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji and other ministers responsible for establishing the Lu Jiansi and Housing Jiansi, and began to calculate money and argue about how many shares each family needed.
Originally, they came all the way here just for Fang Jiansi and Lu Jiansi.
Who would have thought that Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe, two old guys, would directly surrender to the enemy before they even started.
And all the aristocratic families in Henan Province followed suit without any resistance.
Is this completely different from what they discussed before?
The world's aristocratic families have agreed to form an alliance to advance and retreat together, forcing Li Er to give up some members?
Turns out, tut, it’s all a bunch of white-eyed wolves!
well!
Thinking about it, all the aristocratic families are more wary of each other.
Later, Li Er and a group of courtiers thoroughly saw the tyranny of the family.
The Cui family of Qinghe directly contributed 300,000 yuan, accounting for half of the road from Qinghe to Chang'an.
The Zheng family in Xingyang also contributed 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 big families such as Guanlong Group, Guanxi Wei, Pei, Xue, Yang, Liu, Du family, Jiangnan family, Boling Cui, etc.
Family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Longxi Li family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Taiyuan Wang family and other aristocratic families, as well as Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Gong and other ministers, will divide the remaining 35%!
In less than half a day, 2.7 million yuan went directly to the household department.
"Your Majesty, you are now rich!"
Cheng Zhijie laughed and said.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect it to be so easy for this family to pay for it!"
"Each family only needed to pay a few tens of thousands of guan, and the money for paving the road from Chang'an City to Qingzhou was recovered. 2.7 million guan, the aristocratic families paid it all without even arguing.
, even a little impatient!”
In the Liangyi Hall, Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others all had faces filled with joy and even disbelief.
"May I ask Your Majesty, how much does the cement cost?"
At this moment, Pei Ji thought of something and asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, the money is completely enough!"
On the side, Changsun Wuji replied.
"In this way, the imperial court can complete the paving of the road from Chang'an to Qingzhou with only a few craftsmen's wages!"
Pei Ji said with excitement on his face, "His Royal Highness King Jin is really a genius!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, the craftsmen's wages are sufficient. If you plan carefully, it can even cover all the craftsmen's meals!" Fang Xuanling gently held Qing Xu, her face full of joy.
"this……"
Pei Ji looked surprised and stared at the boss, "So, the court doesn't need to spend a single copper to build such a long road?"
"Exactly!"
Fang Xuanling nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, the people of the world are blessed!"
Pei Ji quickly bowed respectfully to Li Shimin.
Although the Pei family seems to have been taken advantage of, according to the income that the road from Chang'an City to Qingzhou will generate, there is still some profit.
As long as the Pei family does not suffer losses and can bring huge benefits to the people of the world, Pei Ji will support it.
The same is true for Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have paid for it himself and would have given it to his family, who would also have to pay for it.
In this way, all the aristocratic families are willing to pay for it even though they don't know about it.
At night.
Li Shimin was so excited that he told the story to Empress Changsun again.
Empress Changsun also had a face full of shock.
"Erlang, if this happens, the imperial court won't have to pay a single coin. These aristocratic families will compete to build cement roads in all the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Exactly, those aristocratic families still pretend to be noble, but now, they are being played by Xuan Ba in the middle of applause!"
Li Shimin looked proud.
"Prince Jin is really a genius!" Empress Changsun said with emotion on her face.
"With Xuanba's help, I will restore the Tang Dynasty to prosperity!" Li Shimin looked determined.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, with King Jin as a wise king, the Tang Dynasty will surely prosper as never before under the rule of Erlang!"
Queen Changsun congratulated with a smile on her face.
"It's a pity that Xuan Ba has such a lazy temper and acts like a child. He has been staying in Lijiazhuang and will not come to court to help me!"
As he said that, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh lightly again.
"Your Majesty, the King of Jin has such a temperament. It is a blessing for Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty!" Empress Changsun said thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, Maid Guanyin, I will never believe that Xuanba has other intentions!"
Li Shimin looked startled and said quickly.
"Your Majesty, I also believe in King Jin. However, there are always some people who will not settle down!"
Queen Changsun said slowly.
"According to Xuanba's temperament, things that Guanyin Maid is worried about will never happen!"
