    ?

    Pei Ji immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Du Erlang's words. The construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal by the previous dynasty was originally a meritorious service that will benefit the future. Why, it will become one of the reasons for the collapse of the previous dynasty, because  Too much corvee was collected, resulting in the death of countless people on the canal construction. The same is true for road construction, we must be cautious."

    Li Yuan said: "I know."

    In his heart, he agrees with road construction, because it is a good thing, and it is beneficial to the development of Datang.

    The measures taken should be cautious.

    Li Jiancheng wished that Du Qi's project would be stranded, but he didn't go up to speak, and stood obediently, as if he was a perfect air man, as if he didn't exist.

    Li Yuandao: "Erlang, I want to build roads, what do you think is a good way?"

    He hopes to have the best of both worlds.

    It can not only build roads, but also take care of people's livelihood.

    Have it both ways.

    Pairs of eyes fell on Du Qi, waiting for Du Qi to speak.

    Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, this matter should be decided by the princes in the court. After all, the princes in the court are the ones who discuss state affairs. It is not appropriate for me to handle this matter."

    Li Yuan looked back at the courtiers under his command, and said, "Come on, who will tell us about the road construction, and how can we take care of both, so as to take care of the people's livelihood and build the road at the same time."

    All of them shook their heads.

    Officials in the court are all human beings.

    They are unwilling to be involved in it, because once involved in it, I don't know much about it, and maybe I will be deeply involved in it and cannot extricate myself, it is better not to be involved in it.

    What's more, many people really have no choice.

    It is really impossible.

    After seeing this, Li Yuan simply looked at Li Jiancheng and asked, "Prince, what can you do?"

    "Father forgives the crime, but the son does not."

    Li Jiancheng's head shook like a rattle, and he answered directly.

    He couldn't think of a way.

    Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin again, and said, "King Qin, do you have a solution?"

    Li Shimin said: "Father, my son thinks that this matter must be completed. I am afraid it will take a few years of development. The court will be able to complete the matter when it has enough financial resources."

    Li Yuan directly called the names again, and after asking several people, the results he got were all unknown.  Everyone said that they had no answer, because everyone felt that this matter was difficult to handle.

    After all, Pei Ji said it all.

    This matter is beneficial to the country and the people, but if you don't pay attention to it, it may cause turmoil to Datang.

    When Emperor Sui Yang of the previous dynasty dug the Grand Canal, the Sui Dynasty had been established for decades, and its foundation was deep, but it could not withstand the toss of Emperor Yang of Sui. In just a few decades after Yang Guang ascended the throne, the Great Sui fell apart, and wars broke out everywhere.  .

    It has only been a few years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the world has not yet been completely settled.

    Tossing at this time will do great harm to Datang.

    Datang can't stand the toss.

    After listening to everyone's words, Li Yuan looked at Du Qi again, and said, "Erlang, this matter is up to you. Everyone in the court has no solution, or is unwilling to give a solution. Tell me, what should you do?  "

    The courtiers looked at Du Qi one by one.

    They all wanted to see what ingenious strategies Du Qi could come up with.

    After Du Qi heard it, he lowered his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, I do have a strategy, which may be effective, but such a strategy has certain difficulties."

    Li Yuan said: "But it doesn't matter."

    Du Qidao: "This plan cannot be known to everyone, it needs to be kept secret."

    After Li Yuan heard it, he stopped talking, and ordered everyone to back away from him, which was nearly fifty steps away from him.  At this time, Xiao Li was by Li Yuan's side.

    Li Yuan said: "Tell me, what can you do?"

    Du Qidao: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the boy's solution is very simple. Use the power of a powerful family to build roads."

    Li Yuandao: "You mean to ask the powerful family to donate money."

    Du Qidao: "The reason is this, but don't do it directly. If you ask the aristocratic family to pay for road repairs, you will definitely be boycotted. So you have to change a reason so that they can't refuse."

    Li Yuan asked, "What's the reason for changing?"

    Du Qi replied: "It is said that the imperial court is planning to build the northern capital of Taiyuan, and needs to relocate aristocratic families to facilitate the development of the northern capital of Taiyuan  Those who are willing to go to the aristocratic family will be given many preferential treatment by the imperial court.  Those who don't want to go can only pay to solve the problem.  Of course, if you don't want to go, if you don't directly explain the payment, the other party will definitely understand.  "

    After a pause, Du Qi said: "If you are neither willing to go, nor willing to pay, what else can you say, just get rid of it directly, anyway, this is not the case for everyone."

    Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, with a serious look in his eyes, and said: "Erlang, your plan is bold, that is, it is less harmful than directly expropriating corvee. If you take action against aristocratic families, if all the aristocratic families in the world unite  Rise up and fight against the imperial court in unison. By then, it is very likely to cause the collapse of various places and lead to the resurgence of war."

    Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, you are too worried. It is really difficult to deal with the powerful families working together. The problem is that there are also our people among the powerful families. The royal family of Taiyuan Mansion has their hearts towards the court."

    "At that time, the Wang family will take the initiative to pay the money first, and they are willing not to move the Wang family to the government office of Taiyuan Mansion."

    "In this way, a precedent has been set for the rest of the aristocratic family. Only the remaining people have to follow the precedent of the Wang family. After all, no one in the aristocratic family is willing to move."

    Du Qi made a suggestion.

    Li Yuan also showed a smile on his face when he heard it.

    Struck his beard and laughed lightly.

    Du Qi's method is indeed useful.  According to this method, the rest of the aristocratic families cannot escape.  After all, with the Wang family taking the lead and people's hearts fluttering, the rest of the big families will follow.

    It is extremely difficult for the remaining aristocratic families and powerful families to resist even if they want to resist.

    The civil and military officials in the distance.

    Looking at Li Yuan who was laughing, and seeing Li Yuan and Du Qi talking happily, many people were envious in their hearts.  The reason is very simple, that is, Du Qi was in front of Li Yuan, which made Li Yuan so happy.

    Du Qi said again: "Your Majesty, I think this matter can be further refined. For example, at the beginning, it only targeted the five surnames and seven Wangs, and did not target the rest of the big families, so as not to cause turmoil. Wait for these people to win  After collecting a certain amount of money, we will build the road first. After the main road is built, we will consider the next step to deal with the rest of the big clans, so that it will not have a big impact."

    Li Yuan nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, that's right, that's the reason."

    He agreed with Du Qi's proposal.

    This is a good way.

    Arrangements in a small area first, and then expand step by step. When the main roads across the country are rolled out, the entire Tang Dynasty will be more stable.  Li Yuan lowered his head, stomped his feet, looked at the concrete road under his feet, and said, "Erlang, is it feasible to use this kind of cement to build the city wall?"

    Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, it is true that cement can be used on the city wall. After mixing sand and stone, smear it on the city wall. Once it dries and solidifies, the wall will be extremely strong. It is hard to hurt by ordinary swords and can withstand great impacts."  force."

    Li Yuan smiled and said, "That's fine."

    After a pause, Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Erlang, you invited me here today, especially all the civil and military officials are here. After seeing this cement road, you want to let others know so that your cement can be sold in large quantities.  .¡± (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
