I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Li Yuan was also curious, walked out of the seat, walked in front of Du Qi, and looked down at the slate on the ground. He looked at this stone slab and said: “Erlang, is this a slate?”

Du Qi said: “His Majesty, this is naturally not a slate. If it is a manufacture stone slab for paving, then the road is built. It’s too difficult. Not to mention 1.5 million pens. Even if it’s three million pens, it will be repaired.”

“This stone slab is a craftsman in my house. He spent his entire life developing and mixing mud. Sand, stones, etc., and then poured out a concrete slab.”

“Everyone knows the condition of the stone.”

“This Cement board is extremely hard. It is difficult to split.”

Du Qi said: “This kind of slab paving can ensure the stability of the road from Cháng’ān to Lantian County, and it will not be necessary to build the road every year, and it is poured out. Guan. The road on the road is not paving a stone slab, but watering. This way, the road is more stable and the ground is stable. When the time comes, a carriage can drive fast and is not affected by the weather , The journey is faster.”

Li Yuan said: “Really?”

Du Qi said: “Nature is true.”

paused, Du Qi continued: “Such a thing, dare to deceive His Majesty. After all, road construction is just and honorable. When the time comes, thousands of people can see it, and His Majesty can also check it at any time. There is nothing to hide. “

Li divine ability hummed: “Du Qi, the surface of your stone slab is very smooth. I am afraid that people walking on it may slip, and when the time comes Carriage, it is more necessary to hurry. It’s slippery.”

Du Qi sighed: “Huaian Prince of County, if you don’t speak, no one will treat you as dumb. When you speak, you can only show your shallowness in the end.”

“You…”

Li divine ability is very uncomfortable.

Li Yuan looked in his eyes, and a smile flicked across those eyes.

He respects Li’s divine ability.

During this period, Li’s divine ability was quite domineering. Li Yuan did not want to see such a result. It happened that Du Qi and Li’s divine ability had a conflict. You can use Du Qi to beat Li Divine. ability.

Du Qi continued: “The surface of the concrete slab poured by Cement should be rougher and smoother. It’s all up to me, and it can be determined when manufacturing. It’s just a model. On the real road surface, there must be a few scratches, there are scratches, Carriage will not slip on it.”

Li Yuan nodded.

He stroked his beard under his jaw, with a look of approval on his face.

Li Shimin’s eyes flashed brightly. He already understood the benefits of this slate. Even Li Shimin himself was extremely proficient in governing the country. He saw the benefits of road construction and said: “Erlang It’s really convenient for you to pour stone slabs to build roads. It’s just that this way of building roads has any advantages compared with the original road building methods? After all, the money is paid by you.”

Li Yuan Nodded and said: “Yes, where is your advantage in road construction?”

Du Qi knew that this was Li Shimin deliberately paving the way for him, let him talk, Du Qi opened the mouth and said: “His Majesty 、Prince of Qin. Regarding the money I want to make for this road construction, I won’t talk about it, just talk about the benefits of entrusting this road to me to build the road.”

One, to achieve the effect of work-for-relief.”

“Under normal circumstances, it is the levy to build roads, allowing countless people to build roads from their homes. Not to mention the problem of death, at least the people The family will be more difficult because the males are taken away.”

“The way I build roads is to recruit people to work. In this way, people can make money to support their families. This way, it is guaranteed. Although they say they do things, the money they earn is enough to support their families.”

“For families with difficulties, males, and little land to do, this is even more important. Help.”

“Let them have the opportunity and ability to support their families.”

Du Qi looked around, his eyes finally fell on Li Yuan, and said: “His Majesty, you What do you think?”

Li Yuan said: “Erlang’s plan can indeed achieve the effect of food for work. Especially this road, from Cháng’ān to Lantian County, requires a lot of manpower Participate. When the time comes, people can make money. Not to mention how much they earn, but at least they can support their families in the process of building roads.”

Du Qi said: “All Listens to your Majesty !”

paused, Du Qi continued: “The second benefit is to make transportation more convenient and promote the commercial development of Cháng’ān and Lantian County and the surrounding areas.”

” The original dirt road, although the road is clear, is actually not easy to pass.”

“Carriage walks too bumpy, but after the road is repaired, Carriage can travel smoothly and travel easier. Many businessmen, Even the common people can easily travel to and from Cháng’ān and sell Selling commercial goods can promote commercial development, make the place more prosperous, and make it easier for the people to make money. “

Du Qi said resolutely: “This is the second convenience, what does His Majesty think? “

Li Yuan said: “It is indeed possible. “

Du Qi continued: “The third point is the convenience of military operations. “

“There is no war in the surrounding area of ​​Cháng’ān today. But no one can guarantee that there is a sudden occurance. Once such a thing happens, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, no matter what the weather is, the team can quickly drive along the official road, which can save a lot of time. Once there is war, time is life. “

“A little more time, there will be more opportunities. “

“The convenience of Carriage running makes it more convenient to transport materials. “

Du Qi said: “In addition to the convenience of the third point, there are actually many other conveniences, which are all small aspects. I will not elaborate on one after another, just these three points. The convenience is already very good. In particular, the Imperial Court does not need to be enlisted, and will not increase the burden on the people. The Imperial Court has no pressure, which is the most important thing. “

Li Yuan nodded and nodded.

At this time, he was already in his heart.

Because for Li Yuan, he doesn’t need to care about anything. You don’t need to make any effort to get things done. This is beneficial to the Imperial Court without any harm.

Li divine ability stood aside, gritted his teeth and said: “Du Qi, you are right. It sounds good, not necessarily you did good. Especially when you come to collect the money, when the time comes may increase the burden on the Imperial Court. “

Du Qi laughed up and said, “Huai’an Prince of County, it’s okay if you don’t speak.” When you speak, you expose your ignorant nature. I did this to the Imperial Court without any harm. The most important thing is that, in the presence of His Majesty, I should answer the matter, and I can’t do it well. And let me do things, you also proposed. Nowadays, you are picking bones in your eggs, and everywhere you think I can’t do it well. Why not, I don’t care, you still do it. “

Li divine ability gritted his teeth and said: “I will do it if I do it. You, Cement slate, give it to me. “

“Shut up! “

Li Yuan heard Li’s divine ability and looked towards Li divine ability and said: “This Cement manufacture concrete slab was researched by Du Qi and belonged to the Du family. What is meant by handing over.” This matter, Erlang is willing to accept, has already saved the Imperial Court a lot. “

Li divine ability is helpless on his face.

He was scolded again.

Du Qi said: “His Majesty is clear, it involves receiving With regard to money, please rest assured His Majesty, I will not rush. I, Du Qi, are not short-sighted, and the tolls must be within a reasonable range. “

“This toll is collected. After the money is collected, it is also necessary to pay taxes to the Imperial court. “

“From the very beginning, building roads allows the people to participate in making money, and to the end of the road to complete tolls and taxes, it is all beneficial to the Imperial Court. Of course, I also make some money from it. After all, this matter cannot make me do things at a loss. “

Du Qi seemed very relaxed, and said, “Well, many craftsmen in the Du family, as well as many workers who do things, all have to eat, and they can’t do things hungry. “

Li Yuan said: “Erlang, I understand you.” “

Du Qi smiled and said, “Thank His Majesty. “
