I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Li Yuan stopped asking about road construction, saying: “Erlang, how long do you think it will take to build the road from Cháng’ān to Lantian County?”

At this moment, Li Yuan has expectations in his eyes.

If it can be completed and the effect described by Du Qi is achieved, this road construction will be extended to the entire Great Tang world, and Great Tang’s strength control over the Quartet will be strengthened.

The inconvenience of roads is the reason that hinders the control of various places. Once something happens, it is difficult to deal with it in time. After all, the road is blocked and the information is not well informed. While the road is unobstructed, the situation will change like Heaven and Earth turning upside down.

Du Qi said: “His Majesty, how long it will take to complete, I don’t know for the time being. What I can guarantee is that the construction of this road will be completed within half a year.”

“Half a year?”

At this moment, Li Jiancheng stood up.

He has a smile on his face.

According to the situation in previous years, this road was basically built for nearly a year in the past, and it was still conscripted. But Du Qi is different, he pays himself. Under such circumstances, building a road within half a year, in Li Jiancheng’s view, is basically impossible.

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: “Du Qi, can you dare to issue a military order? Road construction is not a trivial matter, it is related to the Imperial Court plan. You said half a year, if half a year Inside, you can’t finish it……”

Li Jiancheng originally spoke quite proudly. Just when he spoke, Li Yuan was already staring at Li Jiancheng, his eyes deep and intriguing.

at first, Li Jiancheng didn’t notice.

I was halfway through the conversation. Li Jiancheng noticed that his cheeks were twitched. When he was halfway through, he stopped abruptly, and then retreated obediently and honestly.

Li Yuan hummed, very dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng’s attitude.

As a Crown Prince, you must have a pattern.

Li Jiancheng has to target Du Qi as soon as he catches the opportunity, and even push Du Qi to death, which makes Li Yuan very dissatisfied.

Li Yuan said solemnly in front of everyone: “Crown Prince, you are the prince of the country. You must be clear that what Du Qi does is beneficial to the country and the people. Such things should be vigorously done. Support, give all kinds of help. Why do you want Erlang to make a military order. Your approach does not reflect the heart and mind of the Crown Prince, let alone the grace and magnanimity of the Imperial Court.”

Li Jiancheng Cheek twitches.

It has been criticized again.

He looked at Du Qi with resentment, then looked towards Li Yuan and said: “The teachings of the Father Emperor, the children will keep in mind.”

Li Yuan said: “Not only to remember, but also to be clear about one thing, that is to carry out your words and implement the instructions I gave you. You always say that you remember, but every time, you know it.”

Li Jiancheng was criticized in front of him, and his face was hot. In particular, as the Crown Prince, Li Yuan’s words greatly affect the status of Crown Prince, but Li Jiancheng can only be beaten right away and dare not say anything.

After Li Yuan criticized Li Jiancheng for a while, his eyes fell on Du Qi, and said: “Erlang, since you said it is half a year, then I will give you half a year, and I believe you. “

“In one sentence, road construction is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I fully support it.”

“Especially if you voluntarily take money to do this, you I am grateful for my loyalty, righteousness, and patriotism. If you need help, or need me to coordinate, you can enter the palace at any time.”

“You should arrange this as soon as possible. After the beginning of the spring, I started to arrange the matter and arrange the matter.”

Li Yuan seemed very happy.

Because he has expectations.

Du Qi said: “The minister remembers His Majesty’s teachings and will live up to His Majesty’s high expectations.”

Li Yuan said: “I look forward to your actions, but you have to be busy For road construction, I can’t go north for the time being. This period of time, I will have to work hard for you again.”

Du Qi said: “It is the youngster’s honor to have something to do, and it is beneficial to the country and the people. Things.”

Li Yuan heard Du Qi’s words, stroking the beard under his jaw, nodded and said: “Everyone, you are the family members of the Imperial court and the mainstay of the Imperial Court. You have all heard that. Erlang should all learn from Erlang. He has such a keen heart and hopes that you will do the same and serve your country regardless of your personal gains and losses.”

“Ministers, etc., remember His Majesty’s teachings.”

Everyone spoke together.

Even though they said so on their lips, in fact, what they think in their hearts is unknown.

After all, Du Qi did this at his own loss.

Not what most people want.

The road construction is set, and the banquet is still going on. In the afternoon, the banquet was over. Everyone left. After Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Li divine ability and the others left first, Li Shimin left the imperial city, so he stopped Du Qi.

Li Shimin said: “Erlang, building roads is beneficial to the country and the people. But the cost is at least 1.5 million yuan, such a huge cost, even if you have money, you can even make money every day. , Can you afford it?”

Du Qi smiled and said: “His Royal Highness, I never make a loss-making business. Although it will involve the money for the people who work, it is actually limited. The real big head It lies in the materials.”

“All road construction materials are manufactured under my command. Therefore, the general direction of this matter is to switch to the right hand. Even if it will still lose a lot, it is worth it. “

“The most important thing is that after the road from Cháng’ān to Lantian County is repaired, the Cement researched by the craftsmen under my command will not worry about sales. When the time comes, countless people will come. Purchased.”

“Making money does not necessarily focus on the present, but also on the future.”

Du Qi said resolutely: “After the road is repaired, I will charge The tolls of the team passing by can also make a lot of money. In short, your Highness does not have to worry. Even more how my industry has been formed, even if the consumption is huge, it will not have any impact.”

Li Shimin Said: “It’s okay if you understand. Anyway, you should be careful in everything.”

“Thank You Your Highness.”

Du Qi thanked him.

Li Shimin doesn’t say much any more. After all, his relationship with Du Qi is in the eyes of outsiders, that is, because Du Ruhui works for Li Shimin, Li Shimin and Du Qi have some connections.

If you talk too much, it is easy to be suspected, so Li Shimin boarded the Carriage and left.

Du Qi took the Carriage back to Du’s house.

He is going to guard his year tonight.

After Du Qi returned to Du’s house, he arranged for Liu Zhengxi to arrange for Yuan Kewang to start producing Cement outside the city. Because next, Cement will be used on a large scale.

In addition, Du Qi also talked about road construction.

After listening to Liu Zhengxi, he said: “Noble Son, this road construction may affect Bank!”

Now in Great Tang Cháng’ān, Bank has already started Running. As time goes by, some people who have received interest after storage have gained the benefits and started to promote it, so many people continue to store money.

Furthermore, Du Qi’s property in Cháng’ān, all the money earned, Du Qi also throws into the bank to store.

Bank Nowadays, all businesses are good.

Even if it is low-key, it cannot be ignored.

Du Qi heard Liu Zhengxi’s words, with a smile on his face, and said: “Mr. Liu, tell us how this thing we did will affect Bank.”

Yu Zhengxi said: “The reason is very simple. If I were the Crown Prince’s small official, I would believe that Noble Son’s money must be the money in the Bank. I would suggest Crown Prince to spread rumors that Noble Son would take it. Using Bank’s money to build roads is to move people’s money. As soon as the news comes out, it will inevitably trigger a run frenzy.”
