Chapter 315 Your Majesty, I will pay the money first!
"How to pay?"
"Come back to you generals, how much money do you need to pay for the number of houses you need to build!"
"Hiss... I have to hand it over all at once!"
"Exactly!"
"The Duke of Su and Duke of Qi are also like this?"
"naturally!"
"..."
The generals were stunned for a long time, and then said: "Just wait for me, I will go back now and let the housekeeper count the population of my village!"
Lu Kuang: "..."
After listening, his tense body relaxed a little, and then he nodded repeatedly.
After respectfully sending these old killers out of the official office, they let out a long sigh of relief.
…
Lijiazhuang, Mid-Levels Villa.
Because the north courtyard has a higher terrain and feels like it is halfway up the mountain, Li Shimin called it the Mid-Levels Villa on the first day he moved in.
The other courtyard 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 troops.
Especially on the courtyard wall, there are rows of forbidden troops standing, and they are heavily guarded.
Everyone in Lijiazhuang subconsciously stayed away from here.
At this moment, the main house in the front yard of the Villa in the middle of the mountain is also a three-story building. The structure inside is similar to that of Li Xuan's main house.
However, there are not that many houses. The entire first and second floors, except for the pillars, are completely open and bright.
Especially on the second floor, there are two large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Two rows of large sofas were placed on one side, with Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others sitting in rows.
Several plates of cold melon and cold ice were placed in front of several people. While eating cold melon and cold ice, they looked at the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which was very comfortable.
Ever since Li Shimin came, he never wanted to leave.
Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong looked at the large floor-to-ceiling windows in front of them, their eyes glowing green.
"If it weren't for the fact that the house in my house couldn't be renovated, I would definitely add two floors and build a building with such large floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides!"
"Your building will collapse the next day!"
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others subconsciously curled their lips.
"well!"
Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Afterwards, after looking around, Cheng Chusi's face was filled with joy again.
"But when winter comes, we can live in a house like this!"
"Your Majesty, a small courtyard of a village has 30 guan, and my old Cheng's courtyard has 3,000 guan. After calculation, my village cannot exceed 10,000 guan!"
"Hey, I didn't expect that this kind of cement house would be cheaper than building a wooden house..."
"Um?"
As he listened, Li Shimin felt something was wrong the more he listened. He put down the cold melon in his hand and looked at Cheng Zhijie.
"Your Zhuangzi built it for less than 10,000 guan?"
Cheng Zhijie said with some doubts: "Your Majesty, my village only has fifty households. Even if it is paved with cement roads, it only costs five thousand!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief: "Five thousand strings, or the entire cement construction of Zhuangzi?"
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is!"
Cheng Zhijie was a little confused.
"Then why do I need 200,000 gold to build a six-story palace?"
Li Shimin's face was full of doubts.
"Two hundred thousand dollars?"
Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and others could not help but look surprised.
"Did your Majesty hear wrongly?"
"This is what Xuan Ba said to me, I'm sure it's not wrong!"
Li Shimin slowly shook his head.
"However, your Majesty is just building a palace, and it will cost less than 200,000 yuan anyway!"
Changsun Wuji said with some doubts.
At this time, a cautious voice came from the side.
"Father, the 200,000 yuan that Master mentioned at that time should be the money that Master spent to build Lijiazhuang!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others quickly looked towards the source of the sound.
In a corner aside, Li Chengqian was holding a memorial in both hands, looking at Li Shimin and others carefully.
"Do you think that 200,000 yuan is the amount needed to build Lijiazhuang?" Li Shimin asked.
"Back to my father, this is how it should be!"
Li Chengqian quickly replied: "The account books for the construction of Lijiazhuang were compiled by Erchen and Li Chongyi and others. Erchen remembered clearly that the cost of building the entire Lijiazhuang, including labor, craftsmen and materials, totaled twenty
Fifteen thousand one hundred strings!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but look startled.
Then he asked again: "Does this money include this other courtyard and the small courtyard of Cui Zheng's two aristocratic families?"
"If you go back to Aye, everything will be included."
Li Chengqian nodded slightly, "Not only that, even paddy fields and roads are included!"
Li Shimin: "..."
After a long while, he said with a strange expression.
"So, when I asked how much it would cost to build a palace, Xuanba said it would cost to build the entire Li Family Village?"
"Father, this is how it should be!" Li Chengqian nodded quickly.
"Then how much do I need to build a palace?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Father, it should be around 10,000 guan!" Li Chengqian thought for a moment and then reported quickly.
"Very good!"
Li Shimin looked overjoyed, "After the autumn harvest, I will ask the general supervisor and the house builder to build a palace for me as soon as possible!"
On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but be stunned.
Immediately, his face turned bitter.
Cheng Zhijie said quickly: "Your Majesty, I paid the money to Fang Jiansi first for this matter!"
"Pay the money?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you can make a reservation in advance by paying the money, so that as soon as the autumn harvest is over, Lu Jiansi can build the Zhuangzi for us first!"
Cheng Zhijie looked proud.
"I see!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly.
"In this case, I can only ask the general to build a palace for me!"
"Your Majesty..." Cheng Zhijie looked anxious.
"Zhijie, do you have any objections?"
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Zhijie blankly.
Suddenly, Cheng Zhijie paralyzed, lying on the sofa with a depressed look on his face, full of regret.
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others also secretly exhaled and did not want to say more.
However, in a luxurious mansion in Chang'an City, arguments continued.
"This wind must not last long!"
"Do you know that now not only Li Er hates us, but also the soldiers and generals of the Twelve Guards are full of hate for our family!"
"However, so many villagers are working as laborers to build roads, and there is no one to take care of our farmland. Wouldn't it be a huge loss?"
"Moreover, in this matter, we all conduct business in a fair and just manner. What can those reckless men do to me?"
"Hey, don't forget, our family also invested in that concrete road!"
"So what, we only have such a small part!"
"However, we still need to get things like fried tea and glass from the hands of King Jin and his Majesty..."
