Chapter 314 Why Is It So Cheap

As several people said, from the first day Li Shimin moved in, ministers from the DPRK and China came to Lijiazhuang to hang out every day.

Although, the first thing he did when he came in was to report something to Li Shimin.

However, it will come out in less than half an hour.

Afterwards, you can visit every corner of Lijiazhuang.

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that King Jin's small village would be built so grandly?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is indeed worthy of being a military commander like us. Even when building houses for villagers, he uses military formations. He looks so impressive!"

"A group of rough goods. The appearance of these houses is obviously similar to that of Chang'an City. Each house is a neighborhood."

"Hey, you sour fellows, what are you talking about sourly?"

"What? This is the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. You and others can make loud noises, but I can't express my feelings?"

A middle-aged official in crimson official uniform said with disdain.

"Tsk, a bunch of mean people who can only gossip behind their backs and do dirty tricks in secret, what else can they do?"

One of the generals sneered and said loudly.

Originally, the general spoke with a loud voice, but now that he was a little far away, his voice became much louder when he spoke.

Therefore, people within a radius of one mile can hear what is said.

The faces of the civil servants suddenly turned red.

"You vulgar men are making up random things..."

"Bah, you idiots are just making things up. What's going on with the cement road from Chang'an City to Qinghe?"

The military general was not used to this group of civil servants, "If it weren't for the cowardice of those chief officials in Lu Jiansi, I would have led my men to smash down the gates of your class if any one of them had gone!"

"Pooh!"

As he said that, a group of military generals spat at the civil servants with contempt on their faces, then held their heads high and walked to the side of the road triumphantly.

At the same time, while walking, he said loudly with disdain.

"Let's go, I'll go back and ask Lu Kuang, the Housing and Construction Secretary, to build some cement houses for us in the village. Those villagers who follow us can't be like those literati who only care about money and things and be harsh to their villagers!"

"What Brother Xue said is absolutely true, especially for a school, one must be built!"

And standing under the corner, watching the group of military generals retreating, especially the contemptuous words made a group of civil servants tremble with anger.

Some of them knew the inside story about the cement road.

However, this year all the salt fields in their home were given to His Majesty.

Moreover, so much money was invested in cement roads, plus investment in tea and glass businesses, basically all the savings that the family had accumulated for hundreds of years were taken out.

If they don't make some money, how can they hire a great scholar? How can they support the children in the family?

The most important thing is that although they knew about it, it was done by someone in the family and had nothing to do with them!

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel impatient, and cursed angrily with a trembling voice.

"A group of vulgar men, in public, actually ruined a person's reputation..."

As he said that, several people couldn't help but look up at the surrounding houses.

"However, this kind of house is quite good, but I don't know how much money it will cost to build such a house!"

"I heard that Zheng Balang of the Zheng family in Xingyang and Cui Wulang of the Cui family in Qinghe also have a small courtyard in Jinwangzhuang. Please go over and ask!"

"This statement makes perfect sense!"

"Go, go..."

With that said, a group of civil servants marched toward a courtyard.

Wait until everyone has left.

Behind a house, several heads poked out, looked around, and after making sure there was no one else, they quickly walked out and ran towards the forge in the distance.

"This time, His Majesty acted really quickly!"

"Hey, Changsun Chong, I heard that what happened this time was what you, Aye, talked to those aristocratic families!"

"It's as if you, Aye, weren't involved!"

"Hey, who dared those aristocratic families to trip up Lu Jiansi? Those veterans all came from the Twelve Guards..."

These people were Cheng Chusi, Fang Yizhi and others who were driven out of the house by Li Xuan.

Unexpectedly, before they had gone far, they met two groups of familiar people.

"Hurry up, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde are definitely not in the village now, don't run into those people again!"

On the side, Li Chongyi said.

"That makes sense, let's go quickly!"



The first few generals to leave left Lijiazhuang, got on their horses, and headed into the city under the leadership of a group of guards.

Entering Chang'an City, go straight to the Housing and Construction Department.

Fang Jiansi is only a fourth-grade official office, and most of the guards and officials are from the Twelve Guards.

Therefore, these generals had an unimpeded journey.

"I have met several generals!"

Fang Jiansi Lu Kuang also came from the old palace of King Qin. Although he was only from the fourth rank, he was still neither humble nor arrogant towards these generals.

The generals of the Twelve Guards did not dare to behave like hooligans towards Lu Kuang like they did towards other civil servants, and they all returned the favor.

"I wonder how many generals came to the official residence, but what's the matter?" Lu Kuang asked.

"We are going to build the houses in Jinwangzhuang!"

A military commander said.

"It's okay!"

Lu Kuang nodded quickly.

"I'll start building it after I get the autumn harvest!"

Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Lu Kuang's eyes: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this if I am lowered to the official position!"

"Huh? Why?"

All the generals subconsciously stared at Lu Kuang.

"Generals, don't worry!"

Lu Kuang smiled bitterly and quickly explained: "Previously, Duke Su, Duke Wei, Duke Qi, and the prince of Hejian County, etc., have all come to the official and handed over money!"

"Dong Su Guo, Qi Guo Gong and others?"

Hearing this, these generals were startled.

These are their immediate bosses, and even if they are not, they are people they cannot afford to offend.

"The general and others will also pay the money first. After completing the construction of Su Guogong, Qi Guogong and others, they will be built for me and Zhuangzi!"

"Generals, please wait a moment!"

With that said, Lu Kuang quickly took out a piece of paper from under the coffee table, which was filled with price lists of various houses.

"Generals, take the house on His Royal Highness's estate as an example. An ordinary two-story courtyard only costs 30 guan! If there are small courtyards like Cui Wulang and Zheng Balang, ten acres of urine will cost 300 guan.

; Twenty acres is five hundred guan... If you have specific requirements, you will need to add more money!"

After Lu Kuang finished speaking, everyone looked stunned.

"Why is it so cheap?"

"Returning to the generals, I also feel that the price of these houses is a bit cheap. However, this price was determined through consultation between the supervisor and the superior officer of the Ministry of Works. Your Majesty agrees!"

Lu Kuang quickly replied.
