Du Qi returned to the study, quite emotional.
The appearance of cement means another change. Especially in the past one month or so, the Chang'an Bank has been in operation. Although Du Qi has kept a low profile and never publicized it, the Datang Bank in Chang'an has been in operation, and it will be connected with the Datang Bank in Daizhou.
However, Qianzhuang has not yet exerted its power and has not highlighted its role. After all, it is a new thing, and many businessmen do not understand it for the time being, so it is not clear for the time being.
Du Qi is not in a hurry about these.
Take your time.
Early the next morning.
Du Qi got up early to wash, had breakfast, and stayed at home to read. Just after noon, Du Qi finished his nap after lunch, and just after getting up, an eunuch in the palace came to convey Li Yuan's oral order, calling Du Qi into the palace.
It was very windy and snowy outside, so Du Qi put on his down jacket and entered the palace in a carriage. When the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Du Qi took off his down jacket and entered the palace in official robes.
When he came to the Ganlu Hall, Du Qi saw Li Yuan, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty!"
At this moment Du Qi looked to the left and right, and there were Li Shentong, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji there. In addition, there are Li Shimin and the rest of the imperial family, and the Li family's relatives are all gathered.
This is how the Li family celebrated the new year.
Li Yuan had already told Du Qi before that he wanted Du Qi to participate. Although Du Qi wanted to go home to watch the New Year's Eve at night, so he didn't have to stay in the palace to have fun with everyone, but now he can participate together, which is lively and lively.
Li Yuan said with a smile on his face, "Erlang, sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Du Qi walked to the last seat on the right, and after sitting down, Li Yuan summarized the past year and looked forward to the year ahead. After these words were finished, Li Yuan offered everyone a glass of wine.
After Li Yuan finished speaking, they all drank.
Toast and chat, the atmosphere is harmonious.
Although Du Qi is young and not a clan relative, in fact, Du Qi's influence in the clan is not weak. In particular, Du Qi's father had worked for Li Shimin, and Du Qi was considered to be on the side of King Qin's mansion, and many clan relatives were on King Qin's side.
Many clans are quite kind to Du Qi.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The atmosphere at this time is even more lively. But at this time, Li Shentong stood up, walked to the center of the hall, bowed respectfully to Li Yuan, and said: "Your Majesty, today is the New Year's Eve, and the celebration at the end of the year is an excellent thing. Talking about government affairs. It's just that I have something to say here, so I can't complain."
Li Yuan said: "But it doesn't matter!"
Li Yuan trusted Li Shentong very much, so when Li Shentong said something happened, Li Yuan didn't have any opinion.
Li Shentong said sternly: "Your Majesty, what I am worried about is the official road from Chang'an to Lantian County. In the past years, the roads had to be rebuilt every spring. After all, after the heavy snowfall, many roads were closed and problems appeared in many places. "
"This road has problems year after year, year after year."
"Prior to this, the minister has always been in charge."
"However, I have not been able to solve the road problem completely, so I hope that your Majesty will choose a talented and intelligent person to take charge of this matter, and build the road from Chang'an to Lantian County to ensure that there will be no problems."
Li Shentong made a suggestion.
After Li Yuan heard it, he nodded and said, "The road from Chang'an to Lantian County is indeed quite important. After all, this road is related to whether Lantian County and beyond can smoothly transport materials into Chang'an."
Li Shen said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Yuan asked: "Do you have any candidates and suggestions?"
Li Shentong said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think that the person in charge of this matter must be smart and have great wisdom to solve this problem. I think Du Qi is extremely smart, and it is most appropriate for him to be in charge."
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows.
It was actually Du Qi.
Li Yuan did not expect that Li Shentong would choose to recommend Du Qilai to take charge of the matter, which is a bit weird. However, Li Yuan did not object directly, because Du Qi was indeed intelligent, and Du Qi was very reliable in his work.
Li Yuan turned to look at Du Qi, and asked, "Erlang, what do you think?"
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, if you are responsible for the construction of the section from Chang'an to Lantian County, it will inevitably take a long time to delay. It means that after the beginning of spring, I will not be able to leave Chang'an."
Li Yuan flicked his sleeves and said with a smile: "I have already said that here in Chang'an, you are free to come and go, and you don't have to be limited by time. So whether you want to leave Chang'an or not?"??It's up to you. This matter right now depends on your willingness. If you don't want to, then that's all, I will arrange another person to take charge. "
Du Qi was thinking in his heart.
If there is no cement thing, he is really difficult to handle. Now with cement, this is an opportunity.
Du Qi looked at Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, when it comes to building roads, a lot of money will be needed to get things done. How much will the court allocate for this?"
Li Yuandao: "Erlang, the imperial court can support 10,000 yuan in appropriating funds."
Du Qi twitched his cheeks and said, "Your Majesty, ten thousand guan is not enough."
We must know that from Chang'an to Lantian County, building official roads along the way will inevitably consume a lot of financial, material and manpower resources. Without sufficient financial support, it cannot be completed at all.
After all, this is a big project.
Li Yuan smiled slightly, and continued: "Erlang, although the money is only 10,000 guan, I can conscript corvee and mobilize the people to do things. In this way, 10,000 guan is still enough. After all, it is what the people should do."
The matter of corvee has existed since ancient times.
In fact, many construction projects rely on corvee, which is unconditional free labor.
Must obey.
After hearing this, Du Qi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the Great Tang Dynasty, the people's lives have just stabilized. The large-scale collection of corvees may cause a heavy burden on the people. Such things will increase the burden on the Great Tang."
Li Shentong took over the conversation at this time and said: "You, Du Erlang, have a lot of businesses and make a lot of money. It's better to let you pay for it. As long as you are willing to pay for it, road construction will be easy."
This is intentional.
Just to target Du Qi.
When Li Yuan heard this, he scolded: "Prince Huai'an, don't talk nonsense. Although Erlang is rich, it is a gentleman who loves money and gets it in a proper way. He deserves it if he doesn't steal or rob it. How can it be because Du Erlang is rich? , let him pay. I also heard that your Huai¡¯an County Prince¡¯s Mansion also has countless singers, and there are countless fertile farms and shops, which are quite rich. How about, how about the Huai¡¯an County Prince also give some money?¡±
brush!
Li Shentong's complexion changed slightly.
Was stunned.
Moreover, he was hated by the emperor. You must know that Li Shentong is Li Yuan's cousin, and the relationship between the two parties is excellent. He himself has won the trust of Li Yuan. She never thought that because of Du Qi, Li Yuan would target him like this.
Li Shentong opened his mouth to speak, but seeing Li Yuan's strong side, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Forget it, it¡¯s still not fun to ask for it.
Li Shentong died down.
Li Yuan looked at Du Qi and said, "Erlang, it is helpless to conscript corvee for road construction. But this road is also related to the stability of Chang'an, so it can only be done like this."
Du Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the boy thinks that the words of the King of Huai'an have some truth. The boy is willing to pay for the construction of the road from Chang'an to Lantian County this time, and there is no need for the court to collect corvees. The road built this time is not Ordinary dirt roads, even if there is thunder and rain, or even heavy rain, it will not affect the future journey. In short, I promise to complete the task."
Li Shentong's eyes widened in disbelief.
Du Qi actually agreed.
Li Yuan was also a little surprised, and soon he recovered. Although Du Qi is benevolent in doing things, he has never suffered a disadvantage, so Du Qi must have conditions when he said this.
Li Yuan said: "Erlang, you agree to pay for road construction. But, what conditions do you have?"
"Your Majesty is holy!"
Du Qi showed a smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, there are indeed certain additional conditions for road construction."
Li Yuan said: "But it's okay to say!" (Remember the website of this site: 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
