    ?

    Li Yuan stopped asking about road construction, and said, "Erlang, how long do you think it will take to build the road from Chang'an to Lantian County?"

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

    If it can be completed and achieve the effect Du Qi said, this road construction will be extended to the entire Datang world, and Datang's control over the Quartet will also be strengthened.

    The inconvenient road 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 roads are blocked and the news is not well informed.  But the road is smooth, but the situation will change drastically.

    Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, I don't know how long it will take to complete. 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 suddenly.

    There was a smile on his face.

    According to the situation in previous years, it took nearly a year to build this road in the past, and it was still a collection of corvee.  But Du Qi was different, he paid for it himself.  Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Li Jiancheng to repair the road within half a year.

    Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "Du Qi, do you dare to issue a military order? The road construction is not a small matter, it is related to the imperial court's plan. You said that it will take half a year, if you can't finish it within half a year"

    Originally, Li Jiancheng was quite proud of speaking.  It's just that when he spoke, Li Yuan was already staring at Li Jiancheng, his eyes were deep and thought-provoking.

    At first, Li Jiancheng didn't notice.

    But halfway through the speech, when Li Jiancheng noticed it, his cheeks twitched, and the words that had just been spoken in the middle stopped abruptly, and then obediently retreated to the side.

    Li Yuan snorted, very dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng's attitude.

    As a prince, you must have a pattern.

    As soon as Li Jiancheng seized the opportunity, he aimed at Du Qi, and even pressed Du Qi to death, which made Li Yuan very dissatisfied.

    In front of everyone, Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Prince, you are the prince of the country, you must know that what Du Qi is doing is beneficial to the country and the people. Such things should be vigorously supported and given help from all sides.  Why do you want Erlang to issue a military order. Your actions do not reflect the heart of a prince, let alone the grace and tolerance of the court."

    Li Jiancheng's cheeks twitched.

    I was criticized again.

    He glanced at Du Qi resentfully, then turned to Li Yuan and said, "My father and emperor taught me, and I will keep it in mind."

    Li Yuandao: "Not only do you have to remember, but you also have to be clear about one thing, that is, to carry out your words, and to carry out the instructions I gave you. You always say you remember, but every time, you commit a crime knowingly."

    Li Jiancheng was criticized in front of his face, and his face was hot.  Especially as the prince, Li Yuan's words would greatly affect the status of the prince, but Li Jiancheng could only stand at attention and was beaten, not daring to say anything.

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

    "In a word, road construction is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I fully support it."

    "Especially if you voluntarily used money to do this. I am grateful for your loyalty and patriotism. If you need any help or coordination from me, you can enter the palace at any time."

    "You should arrange this matter as soon as possible, and start to arrange this matter after the beginning of spring, and arrange things."

    Li Yuan looked very happy.

    Because he has expectations.

    Du Qidao: "I will bear in mind your majesty's instruction and will definitely live up to your majesty's high expectations."

    Li Yuandao: "I look forward to your actions, but you have to be busy building roads, so you can't go north for the time being. This period of time, I will work hard for you again."

    Du Qidao: "It's my honor to have something to do, and it's something that benefits the country and the people."

    Hearing Du Qi's words, Li Yuan stroked the beard under his chin, nodded and said: "Everyone, you are the clan members of the court and the mainstay of the court. You have all heard what Erlang said, and you should all learn from Erlang. He has such a  With a fistful heart, I hope you will do the same, serving the country regardless of personal gain or loss."

    "Your Majesty's teachings must be kept in mind."

    Everyone spoke in unison.

    Although each of them said so in their mouths, it is not known what they actually think in their hearts.

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

    Not what most people want.

    The matter of road construction is settled, the banquet is still going on, in the afternoon and eveningAt 10 minutes, the banquet was over, and everyone left separately. After Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Li Shentong and others left first, Li Shimin left the imperial city and called Du Qi to stop.

    Li Shimin said: "Erlang, the road construction is beneficial to the country and the people. But the cost is at least 1.5 million guan, such a huge cost, even if you have money, even if you make a lot of money every day, you can afford it."  ?"

    Du Qi smiled and said: "Your Highness, I never do business at a loss. Although it involves giving money to the people who work, in fact, it is limited. The real big deal lies in the materials."

    "All the materials for road construction are produced under my command. So in this matter, the general direction is to switch hands. Even if you still lose a lot, it is worth it."

    "The most important thing is that after the road from Chang'an to Lantian County is repaired, the cement researched by my craftsmen will not worry about selling. At that time, countless people will come to buy it."

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

    Du Qi said seriously: "Furthermore, after the road is repaired, I can earn a lot of money by collecting tolls from caravans passing by. In short, don't worry, Your Highness. What's more, my industry has already formed, even if it consumes a lot, it will not  What's the impact."

    Li Shimin said: "It's good that you understand. In short, you should be careful when doing things."

    "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

    Du Qi cupped his hands in thanks.

    Li Shimin didn't say much anymore, after all, his relationship with Du Qi, in the eyes of outsiders, was because Du Ruhui worked for Li Shimin, so Li Shimin had some connection with Du Qi.

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

    Du Qi returned to Du's house in a carriage.

    He will watch the 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 Liu Zhengxi finished listening, he said, "My lord, this road construction may affect the bank!"

    Now here in Datang Chang'an, the bank has started to operate.  As time went by, some people who got the interest after saving started to publicize the benefits, so many people kept saving money.

    Furthermore, Du Qi also threw all the money earned from Du Qi's property in Chang'an to the bank for storage.

    Today, the bank's business is doing well.

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

    Du Qi heard Liu Zhengxi's words, with a smile on his face, he said, "Mr. Liu, tell me how what we have done will affect the bank."

    Liu Zhengxi said: "The reason is very simple. If I were the crown prince's adviser, I would believe that the money that the young master gave must be money from the bank. I would suggest that the prince spread rumors that the young master took the money from the bank to build roads.  It is to move people¡¯s money. As soon as the news comes out, it will inevitably trigger a run.¡± (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
