    ?

    Li Yuan was also curious, walked out of the seat, walked up to Du Qi, and looked down at the stone slab on the ground.  He looked at the slate at this moment and said, "Erlang, is this a slate?"

    Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, this is naturally not a stone slab. If it is made of stone slabs to pave the road, it will be too difficult to build the road. Let alone 1.5 million guan, even if it is 3 million guan, it will be repaired."

    "This slab is a concrete slab made by a craftsman in my house who spent his whole life developing it by mixing sand, stones, etc., and then pouring it out."

    "Everyone knows the situation of the stone."

    "This cement board is extremely hard, and it is difficult for ordinary swords to break it."

    Du Qidao: "This kind of slate paving can ensure the stability of the road from Chang'an to Lantian County, so that the road will not be repaired every year, and it is poured. The road on the official road is not paved with stone slabs one by one, but poured.  , In this way, the road is more stable, and the ground is also stable. At that time, the carriages can travel fast, and they will not be affected by the weather, and the journey will be faster."

    Li Yuan said: "Really?"

    Du Qi said: "Naturally it is true."

    After a pause, Du Qi continued: "How dare you deceive Your Majesty about such a thing. After all, road construction is aboveboard. Thousands of people will be able to see it, and His Majesty can check it at any time. It cannot be hidden from anyone."

    Li Shentong snorted and said: "Du Qi, the surface of your stone slab is very smooth. I'm afraid that people walking on it may slip, and when the time comes, the carriage will slip even more."

    Du Qi sighed: "Prince Huai'an, if you don't speak, no one will regard you as dumb. Once you speak, it will only show your shallowness in the end."

    "you¡­¡­"

    Li Shentong was very upset.

    Li Yuan saw it in his eyes, and a smile flashed in the depths of his eyes.

    It is true that he highly values ??Li's supernatural powers.

    During this period of time, Li Shentong was quite domineering, and Li Yuan didn't want to see such a result. It happened that Du Qi and Li Shentong had conflicts, so he could use Du Qi to beat Li Shentong.

    Du Qi continued: "The surface of this kind of concrete slab made of cement should be rough or smooth. It is up to me to decide. It can be determined when it is made. This slab is just a model. The real road  On the surface, there have to be scratches, and if there are scratches, the carriage will not slip when waiting on it."

    Li Yuan nodded.

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

    A light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. He has roughly understood the benefits of this stone slab, and even Li Shimin himself is very proficient in governing the country.  It¡¯s convenient, it¡¯s just that this way of building roads, compared with the original way of building roads, what advantages does it have? After all, you pay for the money.¡±

    Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, where is your advantage in road construction?"

    Du Qi knew that it was Li Shimin who deliberately paved the road for him and let him talk, Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, King Qin, I won't talk about the money I want to make from building the road, just talk about handing over this road to me."  What good will it do if I come to build the road?"

    "First, to achieve the effect of work-for-relief."

    "Under normal circumstances, corvee is enlisted to build roads, and countless people come from their homes to build roads. Not to mention the issue of whether people will die or not, at least the people's homes will be more difficult because the males are taken away."

    "The way I build roads is to pay money to recruit people to work. In this way, people can earn money to support their families. This way ensures that although they speak out and do things, the money they earn is enough to support their families."

    "It is a great help to some families who are in difficulties, have males, and have little land and nothing to do."

    "Giving them the opportunity and ability to support their families."

    Du Qi looked around, his eyes finally fell on Li Yuan, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

    Li Yuan said: "Erlang's plan can indeed achieve the effect of labor relief. Especially this road, from Chang'an to Lantian County, requires a lot of manpower to participate. At that time, the common people will be able to make money. Not to mention how much they earn  , but at least they can support their families while building the road."

    Du Qidao: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    After a pause, Du Qi continued: "The second benefit is to make the transportation more convenient and promote the commercial development of Chang'an, Lantian County and surrounding areas."

    "The original dirt road, although the road is passable, is actually not easy to pass."

      "The carriage is too bumpy, but after the road is repaired, the carriage can run smoothly and travel more easily. Many merchants, even ordinary people, can easily travel to and from Chang'an, sell goods, and promote commercial development.  The place is more prosperous, and it is easier for the people to make money.¡±

    Du Qi said seriously: "This is the second point of convenience, what does your Majesty think?"

    Li Yuan said: "It can indeed be achieved."

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

    "There is no war in the vicinity of Chang'an today. But no one can guarantee that there will be any emergencies. Once such a thing happens, no matter it is windy or rainy, no matter what the weather is, the team can follow the official road  Quick travel can save a lot of time. Once there is a war, time is life."

    "With a little more time, there will be more opportunities."

    "The convenience of running a carriage can make the transportation of supplies more convenient."

    Du Qi said: "In addition to the third point of convenience, there are actually many other conveniences. They are all small aspects. I will not elaborate on them one by one. The convenience of these three points alone is already very good. Especially  The imperial court does not need to collect corvee, it will not increase the burden on the people, the imperial court is not under pressure, and this is the most important thing.¡±

    Li Yuan nodded.

    At this time, he was already in a heartbeat.

    Because for Li Yuan, he doesn't need to take care of anything, he doesn't need to pay anything, and he can get things done, which is not harmful to the imperial court.

    Li Shentong stood aside, gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi, if you speak well, you may not necessarily do well. Especially if you come to collect money, it may increase the burden on the court."

    Du Qi laughed, and said: "Prince Huai'an, I've already said that it's fine if you don't speak. Once you speak, you expose your ignorant nature. I do this thing, and it will benefit the court without any harm.  The most important thing is that I have agreed to something in front of His Majesty, how can I not do it well. And it was you who suggested me to do something. Now, you are picky and think that I can't do it well.  How about this, I don¡¯t care, you still do it.¡±

    Li Shentong gritted his teeth and said, "If I do it, I will do it. What kind of cement slabs are you, hand them over to me."

    "Shut up!"

    When Li Yuan heard Li Shentong's words, he looked at Li Shentong: "This concrete slab made of cement was researched by Du Qi and belongs to the Du family. What do you mean by handing it over? Erlang is willing to accept this matter, and it is already for the court.  A lot of savings."

    Li Shentong had helplessness on his face.

    I was scolded again.

    However, Du Qi said: "Your Majesty knows clearly that when it comes to collecting money, please rest assured, I will not go fishing in a dry lake. I, Du Qi, am not a short-sighted person when I do things, and the toll fees must be within a reasonable range."

    "This collection of tolls, after collecting money, also has to pay taxes to the court."

    "From the beginning of road construction to allow the common people to participate in making money, to the final completion of road tolls and payment of taxes, it is all beneficial to the court. Of course, I also make some money from it. After all, this matter cannot allow me to do things at a loss."

    Du Qi looked very relaxed, and said: "Anyway, many craftsmen of the Du family, as well as many workers who do things, have to eat, so they can't do things hungry."

    Li Yuandao: "Erlang, I understand you."

    Du Qi smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
