    ?

    The next day, early morning.

    Early in the morning.

    All the princes of the Manchu Dynasty gathered at the gate of the east gate of Chang'an City.

    Each of them has become a small circle, and they discuss among themselves.  At the front are Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and others, these are the most core courtiers in Li Yuan's era.  As for Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others, they are on the other side.  The rest, such as Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, and many courtiers, formed their own circles

    Everyone was talking about it.

    Talking about today's things.

    When Li Yuan asked Xiao Li to pass the letter, he also said that the purpose of today was to go to the scene to see the results of Du Qi's road construction.  There was a lot of talk about the road construction, but the road was closed, and officials from the DPRK and China never took care of it, so no one knew the final result of the road construction, after all, they never went to see it in person.

    ?In the discussions among the crowd, some people thought that Du Qi was trying to please the public and deliberately attract people's attention.

    Some people think that Du Qi has real materials.

    Du Qi is really doing things.

    At this time, Du Qi's carriage arrived at the gate of the city.  He got out of the carriage and strode over.  Du Qi did not go to the area where Li Shimin was, but nodded to Li Shimin from a distance, then walked to the side and stood alone.

    No one approached.

    No one paid any attention to Du Qi.

    After all, the officials in the court are mainly divided into two factions.

    The first is the people from the East Palace.

    The second is the people of King Qin.

    A few are neutral.

    The problem is that although Du Qi is well-known and praised by many people, from the beginning to the end, Du Qi has never been an official in the court, has no influence in the court, and has never participated in any government affairs.

    So he doesn't know people.

    Du Qi was also happy to be quiet, he closed his eyes slightly to rest his mind.

    Seeing Du Qi alone, Li Shimin wanted to walk over, but was held back by Changsun Wuji.  After Changsun Wuji gave a look, Li Shimin also understood that his relationship with Du Qi should not be publicized, so Li Shimin did not go over.

    Time passed by little by little.

    The distance from Si Shi is getting closer and closer.

    At this time, the sun is already shining. After all, the weather in May is not too hot, and the weather is quite refreshing. The weather is neither cold nor hot, which is very good.

    "Roll! Wheel!"

    Just at this moment, there was another sound of wheels turning.

    But it was the carriage that Li Yuan was riding in. The carriage stopped and the door curtain was raised, but Li Yuan was seen walking down from the carriage.

    After Li Yuan stood still, he swept around.

    His eyes fell on Du Qi.

    Li Yuan saw Du Qi standing alone, while the surrounding people gathered in groups of three or four, chatting and chatting, but Du Qi was alone, Li Yuan sighed for no reason.

    I feel that Du Qi is quite pitiful.

    The moment this thought arises, the next moment, it has already been suppressed.

    Li Yuan regained his composure.

    Li Yuan walked straight to Du Qi's side, stood still, looked around at the people around, and asked, "Is everyone here?"

    "Report to my father, everyone has arrived."

    Li Jiancheng stood up and answered.

    He glanced over and landed on Du Qi, with a cold look in his eyes.  Deep in the eyes, there is even more hatred.  It's just that Li Jiancheng hid this emotion well.

    Li Yuan ordered: "Since everyone is here, let's go and see a section of the road that Du Qi has repaired. You all come to see it, and comment on it by the way."

    "yes!"

    Everyone answered in unison.

    "Set off!"

    Li Yuan gave an order and took Du Qi to the front.

    ?Because it is not far away, only half a quarter of an hour away, so a group of people are walking on foot.  Li Yuan walked and talked to Du Qi, and he didn't realize the time passed, and he had already reached the starting point of the first section of the journey in a blink of an eye.

    There are special people guarding the side of the road to prevent people from making trouble.

    Du Qi and Li Yuan walked straight forward together.  As soon as we got out of the dirt road, we entered the concrete road. The concrete road was two feet wide, and the thickness could be seen from the side, which was about four inches thick.  This kind of road is poured piece by piece, and then spliced ??together, it is stable across the ground.

    All the courtiers have already stepped on the concrete road made of cement.

    Step on it, and the road will not be affected at all.Li Yuan rubbed the soles of his feet a few times, and even asked Xiao Li to fetch a sword, and stuck the tip of the sword in the ground a few times, but there was no wear and tear on the road.

    Li Yuan was shocked immediately.

    The road surface is so hard.

    When Li Yuan was shocked, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Xiao Yu, Pei Ji, Chen Shuda and other civil and military officials in the court tried their best, and they all exclaimed and were even more amazed.

    This road is simply unprecedented.

    The pavement of the road is extremely hard and is not affected by wind, sand, rain and snow.  Especially the pavement of the road has neat scratches, and the soles of the feet step on it without slipping at all.

    "Your Majesty, this thing is really powerful."

    Pei Ji came to Li Yuan's side. He stroked the beard under his chin and exclaimed: "After this road is built, the speed of traveling from Chang'an Road to Lantian County can save at least half of the time according to the estimation of the veteran."

    "Of course, for ordinary people, if you are not in a hurry, it will not have much impact, but it is more comfortable to walk."

    "For marching and fighting, especially for transporting supplies, such roads are extremely cheap. When horses are pulling supplies and running, because the road is flat, it is effortless."

    "According to the roads in the past, even if the roads are well built, many places will inevitably have potholes, which are always inappropriate."

    Pei Ji did not hesitate to praise.

    Looking at Du Qishi, he was full of approval.

    Chen Shuda stroked the beard under his chin, and echoed: "Your Majesty, I don't know how much this road will cost. The old minister can be sure that if such a road runs through the main roads of counties and counties in the world, His Majesty's control over various places will also be strengthened. Once  There are things that can be reached in the shortest time through such a road."

    The rest of the people praised.

    Anyone can see that such a path is excellent.

    When everyone praised him, Li Jiancheng stood aside, but his face was a little indifferent.  There was even more anger in the depths of those eyes.  Because he and Du Qi are enemies, the more Du Qi gets in the limelight, the more unhappy Li Jiancheng becomes. He can't see Du Qi being good.

    Li Jiancheng did not speak.

    Just watch quietly.

    Amidst the compliments from the crowd, Li Yuan looked at Du Qi and asked, "Erlang, this road has been built very well. It is very good to have reached the present stage in such a short period of time. What I want to ask is, is this road from Chang'an to  In Lantian County, are all road sections the same?"

    Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no problem if I dare to guarantee my personality. The roads in each section are the same as the roads in this area."

    "Good, good, good!"

    Li Yuan nodded one after another, his face was full of joy.

    This is a good thing.

    Li Yuan said solemnly: "Erlang, what is the cost of this road? If I want to build such a road on the main roads of states and counties across the country, do you think it can be widely promoted?"

    Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, it is possible to promote it, but it may be difficult to promote it on a large scale. Moreover, if it is to enlist corvee to do things, it may cause a huge burden on the people."

    "The best way is to outsource the project with money from the imperial court and hand it over to a professional to handle it. In this way, it is only a waste of money."

    "At the same time, it can also allow the people to have something to do, so as not to increase the burden on the people."

    Du Qi said solemnly: "Building roads is originally a good thing, but a good thing must be done well, otherwise it will easily become a disaster." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
