For Li Yuan, building a road from Chang'an to Lantian County was not an easy task. But Du Qi is willing to take over this matter, that's the best.
Du Qi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the boy's condition is actually very simple, that is, after the repair of this section of the road, merchants in Chang'an and Lantian counties do not need to pay money when passing this road. But caravans outside of Lantian and Chang'an counties , if you want to walk this distance, you have to pay a certain amount of money, this is the boy's condition."
After hearing this, Li Shentong said: "Du Erlang, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. This is the official way, how can we collect money? If the official way collects money, everyone in the world will follow suit, and the Tang Dynasty will immediately fall into turmoil."
Li Yuandao: "Erlang, what do you say?"
He believed that Du Qi was a reckless person.
Will not talk nonsense at will, so Li Yuan is not in a hurry, waiting for Du Qi to explain.
Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, if it is an ordinary road, it is the same as the previous official road. Then if the boy collects money, he will feel embarrassed and ashamed."
"The problem is that the journey from Chang'an to Lantian County will be a brand new official road."
"This is the responsibility of the artisans under the boy's command."
"This distance, whether it is thunder, rain or snow, can be walked through. The carriage can run at the fastest speed on the road, so there is no need to worry about being very bumpy."
"That's why the kid plans to collect money. Because this journey will consume a lot of financial and material resources, as well as a lot of energy. Under such a premise, if you don't collect money, the kid will lose his pants. To pawn."
Du Qi continued: "Furthermore, this is only aimed at businessmen, not ordinary people, and has little impact."
Li Shentong sneered and said: "You Du Erlang is as rich as a country, who doesn't know? It's no fun to pretend to be poor here. Even if you pay for road repairs, it's only two or three hundred thousand yuan, which is enough to repair this section of road."
"Hahaha¡¡"
Du Qi laughed out loud.
In the laughter, there was a look of disdain.
There was a hint of disdain in the eyes that looked at Li Shentong. This trace of contempt immediately made Li Shentong jump. After all, he is also a clan member in the court, and he is also extremely prestigious in the court.
Seeing Du Qi's expression, Li Shentong couldn't suppress his anger, and said, "Du Erlang, what are you laughing at?"
Du Qi said: "Your Majesty of Huai'an County, the reason why I am laughing is because you said that Chang'an County to Lantian County only needs two to three hundred thousand yuan to repair it. How about this, you are not allowed to collect corvees, and you are not allowed to deduct Qiancai, I will arrange a shopkeeper to be in charge of the accounts, and you will take care of the road construction. I will pay 300,000 guan, and you will repair the road and rebuild it. What do you think?"
He looked at Li Shentong with cold eyes.
Even if the road is not built in accordance with Du Qi's ideas, and the road is simply built, 300,000 yuan will not be enough. After all, there is no corvee, and a road will cost at least 500,000 guan. If the road is built according to Du Qi's standard, the consumption will be even greater.
Li Shentong is purely for the first time.
Du Qizi would not save face for Li Shentong. After all, Li Shentong had been in charge, but in the past, corvee was conscripted, but now it is not conscripted.
Li Shentong snorted and said, "Du Qi, tell me, according to your plan for road construction, how much less will you say?"
Du Qidao: "At least 1.5 million yuan."
"Hiss!"
In the imperial court, gasps were heard one after another.
All the family members of the imperial court, especially Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji and others, all looked at Du Qi in unison.
Because the number is too large.
One and a half million coins!
This is not a small amount. Even when the Tang Dynasty was first established, and even last year's commercial taxes, there was not so much money. But Du Qi said 1.5 million yuan in one breath.
When Li Shimin looked at Du Qi, there was a trace of worry in his eyes. Because Du Qi spoke like this, he felt a little outrageous, and even Li Shimin didn't believe it.
One and a half million passes per road!
is it possible?
Li Shimin was worried but didn't speak.
Li Jiancheng couldn't sit still.
This is a great opportunity.
Li Jiancheng stood up immediately, looked at Du Qi and said, "Du Qi, under the guise of building roads, you said that it costs 1.5 million yuan to build a road. I'm afraid you are crazy about money. You say so much , is nothing more than to make money, to earn money from merchants on the official road.???It is very inappropriate to do so. "
Li Yuanji also echoed: "That's right, Du Qi. You are not only an official of the court, but also a businessman. However, you shouldn't speak so loudly."
Li Shen said: "Du Qi, did you hear that? You are indeed smart, but you can't treat others as fools."
One by one they kept opening their mouths.
People in the clan who belonged to the prince's line kept talking, saying that Du Qi was a lion.
No one believed Du Qi.
Everyone thought that Du Qi was talking nonsense.
Even though Li Yuan valued Du Qi highly, he still believed in Du Qi, but it involved 1.5 million guan, which was so huge that Li Yuan actually didn't believe it.
However, Li Yuan was still patient and said solemnly: "Erlang, tell me why the construction of a road requires at least 1.5 million yuan."
"After all, there is also a budget in this court. And you have to be responsible for this project, and you have to do it according to your wishes. At least you have to explain the reason. If everyone disagrees and cannot be convinced, then your plan, It will be difficult to follow through.¡±
Li Yuan seemed very wise.
With a bright smile on Du Qi's face, he said: "Your Majesty, I have some samples about road construction in my house. Please allow me to arrange someone to bring the samples, and ask Your Majesty to have a look."
"Yes!"
Li Yuan answered.
Facts speak louder than words. Li Yuan believes that seeing is believing, so he has to take a look before speaking.
Du Qi immediately went out of the hall, called a little eunuch, and told the little eunuch to go out of the palace and tell Liu Jian, his attendant who was waiting outside the imperial city, to return to Du's house immediately and bring the stone slab made of cement in the study to the palace.
After the arrangements were made, Du Qi returned to the Ganlu Hall.
At this time, everyone is waiting.
Even Li Yuan didn't speak, just waited quietly. People in the hall were discussing in private, talking about the road construction from Chang'an to Lantian County. After all, this is not a small matter, and Du Qi's conditions are really unacceptable.
Time goes by little by little.
About half an hour later, a young eunuch entered at this time, came to Du Qi's side, and told about the delivery of the stone slabs. Du Qi regained his energy, stood up and saluted Li Yuan, saying: "Your Majesty, the minister's belongings , has been sent."
Li Yuan said: "Bring it in!"
Du Qi ordered: "Bring it in!"
As soon as the voice fell, I saw the little eunuch outside the Ganlu Hall entering with a cement slab in his arms.
With a bang, the cement slab fell to the ground. This stone slab made of cement is the latest formwork, mixed with sand and stone, it can already be called a concrete stone slab, about four feet long, two feet wide, and two inches thick.
The surface of the slate is smoothed, and after the cement dries hard, the surface is smooth.
Du Qi pointed to the cement slab and said: "Your Majesty, this is a model. The road from Chang'an to Lantian County in the future will be made of such slabs, and the thickness will be even thicker. Even if there is thunder and rain, walking will not be affected."
Looking over one by one, they all stared wide-eyed, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Not a dirt road.
It may not be easy to build a road with such stone slabs.
Li Shentong looked over, and he snorted and said, "Du Qi, what are you pretending to be doing? It's not just a polished stone. It takes too much engineering for you to mine stones to build roads. It is extremely difficult to lay stones on the road. "
Everyone looked at Du Qi in unison.
They all thought it was a stone. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
