I’m Marquis in Great Tang

For Li Yuan, building a road from Cháng’ān to Lantian County is not an easy task. But Du Qi is willing to take over this matter, that is the best.

Du Qi said resolutely: “His Majesty, the youngster’s conditions are actually very simple. After this section of the road is repaired. Merchants in Cháng’ān and Lantian County pass this way and do not need to pay Money. But caravans other than Lantian County and Cháng’ān counties must pay a certain amount of money to walk this section of the road. This is a condition of the youngster.”

Li divine ability After hearing the words: “Du Erlang, I’m afraid this is wrong. This is the official way, how can you collect money? If the official way collects money, everyone in the world will follow suit, and Great Tang will immediately fall into turmoil.”

Li Yuan said: “Erlang, what do you say?”

He believes in Du Qi’s reckless person.

I don’t want to be silly, so Li Yuan is not in a hurry, waiting for Du Qi to explain.

Du Qi opened the mouth and said: “His Majesty, if it is an ordinary road, it is the same as the previous official road. Then if the youngster collects money, it is all sorry, and I feel ashamed.”

“The problem is that this section of the road from Cháng’ān to Lantian County will be a brand new official road.”

“This is the responsibility of youngster’s craftsmen. “

“This section of the road, whether it is thunder, rain, or snow, you can walk through. Carriage can run at the fastest speed on the road, don’t worry about it. Bumps.”

“This is the case that youngster plans to collect money. Because this section of the road process will consume a lot of financial and material resources, and also consume a lot of energy. In this way Under the premise of, if you don’t collect the money, the youngster will lose your pants.”

Du Qi continued: “Furthermore, this is only for businessmen, not ordinary people, and has little impact.”

Li divine ability said with a sneer: “Who doesn’t know that you are rich in Erlang? It’s boring to pretend to be poor here. Even if you pay for road construction, it’s a twenty-thirty thing. Enough to fix this section of the road.”

“hahaha……”

Du Qi laughed.

In the laughter, there is a look of disdain.

In the eyes that looked towards Li divine ability, there was more contempt. This bit of contempt caused Li’s divine ability to jump. Anyway, he is also a clan of the Imperial court, and he is also very prestigious in the Imperial court.

As soon as he saw Du Qi’s expression, Li’s divine ability could not suppress his anger, and said: “Du Erlang, what are you laughing at?”

Du Qi said: “Huai’an Prince of County, I laughed because you said that from Cháng’ān County to Lantian County, you only need twenty-thirty ten thousand dollars, and you can repair it. Instead, you are not allowed to levy or deduct money. I will arrange a shopkeeper. Responsible for the accounts, you are here to take care of the road repair work. I will give out 300,000 sticks, and you will repair this road and rebuild the great cultivator. What do you think?”

He looked towards Li’s eyes. , It’s all cool.

Even if the road is not built according to Du Qi’s ideas, just 300,000 guns will not be repaired. After all, there is no levy, and one road is repaired, at least more than 500,000. If the road is built according to Du Qi’s standards, the consumption will be even greater.

Li’s divine ability is purely a beating.

Du Qi wouldn’t give Li’s divine ability a face. After all, Li’s divine ability was once in charge, but he used to be enlisted for corvee, but now he is not. He thought about it, 300,000 Guan Zhen couldn’t fix it.

Li divine ability hummed: “Du Qi, you just talk about it, according to your road construction plan, how much less can you say?”

Du Qi said: “At least 1.5 million pennies.”

“Hiss!”

In the Imperial Court, there was a sound of cold air.

One by one Imperial Court clan members, especially Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji and the others, are all looking towards Du Qi.

Because this number is too large.

1.5 million money!

This is not a small amount. Even when Great Tang first established the country, even if it was the business tax last year, there was not so much money. Du Qi said in one breath, 1.5 million yuan.

When Li Shimin looked towards Du Qi, there was a little worry in his eyes. Because of Du Qi’s words like this, there was a sense of ranting, even Li Shimin didn’t believe it.

1.5 million per road!

Is it possible?

Li Shimin was worried but did not speak.

Li Jiancheng can’t sit still.

This is a great opportunity.

Li Jiancheng stood up at once and looked towards Du Qi and said: “Du Qi, under the guise of building a road, you need 1.5 million dollars to build a road. I’m afraid it’s because of money. Crazy. You say so much, but it is to make money, to earn money from the merchants on the official road. It is very inappropriate for you to do this.”

Li Yuanji also echoed: “Yes, Du Qi ah. You are not only an official of the Imperial Court, but also a businessman. But you shouldn’t be such a big talk.”

Li divine ability said: “Du Qi, did you hear that? You are indeed smart. But you can’t treat others as fools.”

Keep talking one by one.

The people in the clan belonging to the Crown Prince family kept talking, saying Du Qi lion’s big mouth.

No one believes in Du Qi.

Everyone thinks Du Qi is hypocritical.

Even if Li Yuan values ​​Du Qi, he also believes in Du Qi, which can involve 1.5 million pennies. This amount is so huge that Li Yuan actually does not believe it.

However, Li Yuan is still patient, and seriously said: “Erlang, you just talk about why it takes at least 1.5 million dollars to build a road.”

“After all, this Imperial court also needs a budget. Moreover, you have to be responsible for this project, and you have to do it according to your wishes. At least you have to say the reason. If everyone disagrees and cannot convince the public, then your plan, It will be difficult to follow through.”

Li Yuan seems very wise.

Du Qi had a bright smile on his face, and said: “His Majesty Mingjian, I have a sample of road construction. Please allow the minister to arrange someone to bring the sample, and His Majesty check it out.”

“It’s time!”

Li Yuan answered.

Facts speak louder than words. Li Yuan believes that seeing is believing, so he has to take a look and speak.

Du Qi immediately went out of the great hall and called a little Court Eunuch, and asked the little Court Eunuch to go out of the palace and tell the attendant Liu Jian who was waiting outside the imperial city, so that he should return to Du’s house immediately and put him in the study. Send the stone slabs of Cement manufacture to the palace.

When the arrangements were made, Du Qi returned to the Sweet Dew Palace Hall.

At this time everyone is waiting.

Even Li Yuan did not speak, but waited quietly. The people in the great hall were vying to discuss privately, talking about the road construction from Cháng’ān to Lantian County. After all, this is not a trivial matter, and Du Qi’s conditions are really unacceptable.

A little bit of time passed.

About Mo Xiao’s one hour passed. At this time, a young Court Eunuch entered and came to Du Qi’s side. He talked about the delivery of the slate. Du Qi lifted his spirits and stood up and saluted Li Yuan. , Said: “His Majesty, the minister’s item, has been delivered.”

Li Yuan said: “Take it in!”

Du Qi instructed: “Take it in!”

When the voice fell, I saw the little Court Eunuch outside the Sweet Dew Palace Hall, holding a Cement stone slab to enter.

With a bang, the Cement stone slab fell to the ground. This Cement manufacture stone slab is the latest manufacturing template. It is mixed with sand and stone, and it is already called a concrete slab. It is about four feet long, two feet wide, and two inches thick.

The surface of the slate is smoothed. After Cement dries, the surface is smooth.

Du Qi pointed to the Cement board and said: “His Majesty, this is the model. The road from Cháng’ān to Lantian County in the future will be made of such slabs, and the thickness will be thicker. Even if thundering It’s raining, and walking won’t affect them.”

One by one, their eyes widened, with an incredible expression on their faces.

Not a dirt road.

This kind of stone slab road construction is not easy.

Li divine ability looked over, and he hummed: “Du Qi, what do you do deliberately mystifying. It’s not just a polished stone. You mine the stone to build roads, which is too costly for Engineering Project. . It is extremely difficult to lay the stones on the road.”

Everyone, look towards Du Qi.

They all think it is a rock.
