Du Qi chuckled, and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and I can't hide my thoughts from you no matter what."
He did have this in mind.
Du Qi paid a lot of money for the construction of this journey. Although tolls will be collected in the future and some money can be earned back, it will take a long time.
The most important thing is to make a name for yourself.
Once all the princes in the court know, there will always be something to build in this household, and cement can come in handy. It is time to make money when the sale of cement in large quantities begins.
Li Yuandao: "A gentleman loves money in a proper way. Although you have put your heart into making money, this thought is upright, and it is more beneficial to the country and the people. Therefore, I support your approach. Your cement factory, even if it is sold, As long as you operate legally, I will support you. Anyone who dares to make trouble will be dealt with."
Du Qi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Yuan said: "Although the road from Chang'an to Lantian County is still in full swing, judging from the construction of this section of the road, we can see that there must be no problems with this section of the road, and it will be completed smoothly in the end. The money and energy you have devoted is immeasurable. You have made such a feat, what reward do you need?"
When Du Qi heard Li Yuan's words, his mind changed, and he made a plan and said: "Your Majesty wants to give a reward, why not write another word for the kid. The cement is now formed, but it has not yet become famous."
Li Yuandao: "According to your boy's disposition, do you intend to ask for the best cement in the world?"
Du Qi laughed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Yuandao: "This number one in the world is considered to be your target. From the number one tea shop in the world, to the number one restaurant in the world, and then to the number one in the world for down jackets, you have quite a lot of number ones in the world. "
Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, no matter how many No. 1 in the world you get, it's actually not what you want most."
Li Yuan said: "What do you want?"
Du Qi said: "The boy who wants to be the most loyal minister in the world is the greatest compliment."
"Hahaha¡¡"
After Li Yuan heard it, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
The laughter was hearty.
The laughter is very carefree.
In Li Yuan's opinion, this is the best thing he has heard. As a courtier, it is the best to have the most loyal minister in the world.
Li Yuan's big laugh was seen by Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng blinked, feeling a little sour for a moment. Anyway, he was Li Yuan's son, but he was scolded and suppressed everywhere in front of Li Yuan, so he was in a difficult situation.
If he didn't move at all, he was ordered to shut up and think about his mistakes.
If you don't move at all, you will be punished with a stick.
Not to blame him.
It is to blame the subordinate officials of his East Palace.
After the courtiers saw this, they all sighed in their hearts. Because Li Yuan had always been unsmiling in front of them, how could he laugh like he did with Du Qi.
This difference is too big.
After Li Yuan finished talking with Du Qi, he took Du Qi back and joined the civil and military officials.
Li Yuan ordered: "You have already seen the concrete made of cement and sand and the paved road, so there is nothing to say. The road from Lantian County to Chang'an has been a great success. Of course , cannot be separated from the cement made by Du Qi, which is a great contribution."
The word cement was heard by the courtiers.
Especially when they saw the neatness of the cement road, they were curious about the cement in their hearts.
Such a road is indeed comfortable.
"Let's go, go back to the city."
After the group went straight back to the city, Li Yuan returned to the court with his courtiers, while Du Qi returned to Du's house. Du Qi basically didn't need to get involved in the construction of roads all over the country.
Because the officials in the DPRK are responsible for this, and Du Qi is responsible for providing suggestions, which is enough.
As soon as Du Qi came back to relax, Huang Sheng came.
Huang Sheng reported the situation of the bank to Du Qi. Today's bank has a lot of money. There are countless people who come to the bank to save money. Similarly, there are also a lot of people who come to the bank for mortgage loans.
The business of the bank is becoming more and more extensive.
Has been known by countless people.
Fortunately, the Qianzhuang has now undergone reforms. All the people in the Qianzhuang are familiar with Arabic numerals. After the change in the way of keeping accounts, everything is different from before. Although outsiders don't understand it, the speed of keeping accounts is much faster and more concise.
After Du Qi listened to Huang Sheng's report, he didn't ask Chang'an.?? business, but asked: "The bank has been established for several months. During this period, is there any business from Yanmen bank?"
Huang Sheng opened his mouth and said: "My son, there are three transactions. These three transactions are all stored in Yanmen Bank, and then exchanged in Chang'an Bank."
Du Qi said: "The process of redemption in different places must be careful, and even more cautious, so that no mistakes can be made."
Huang Sheng said: "The humble job understands."
Du Qi waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go and do your work, I don't worry."
"yes!"
After Huang Sheng reported the matter, he turned and left.
Du Qi is now at the mansion, mainly waiting for the completion of the road. From May to June, and then from June to July, the weather is the hottest today.
However, the construction site is still in full swing.
All workers are constantly busy.
All are working hard for the completion of the road construction, because it has reached the final finishing stage. After entering August, the weather gradually turned cooler, and after August 15th, it became even cooler, and the autumn wind gradually picked up, adding a little bit of coolness.
During this period, Du Qi has been in Chang'an.
On the one hand, it is a person with poor development, and on the other hand, it is dealing with the commercial affairs of the industry under its command. Now Du Qi's industries, such as tea and restaurants, are on the right track, mainly cement here.
Cement has been sold during this period. There are many people who come to buy in bulk for building houses, building foundations, and road repairs, etc., because the demand for cement is extremely huge.
The emergence of the cement factory, on the contrary, came first, and made large-scale profits, becoming a pillar industry under Du Qi's command.
The last thing Du Qi did was to complete the construction of roads in Chang'an.
One day at the end of August, Liu Zhengxi hurried back to Du's house, came to the study, and reported to Du Qi that the construction of the road from Lantian County to Chang'an had been completed.
After Du Qi heard it, he also let out a long sigh of relief.
Things are finally done.
According to the previous arrangement, Du Qi specially asked people to set up checkpoints on the official road leading to Chang'an in Lantian County to facilitate the collection of tolls, while Du Qi went to the palace again to report to Li Yuan that the road construction was completed.
After the road is repaired, it's time for Du Qi to leave.
After all, Du Qi has been in Chang'an for half a year because of road construction. Du Qi went into the palace, saw Li Yuan, and told about the completion of the road construction.
After reporting on the road construction, Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, the road has been completed. The minister's affairs in Chang'an have been completed. So I plan to set off northward to go to Yanmen. After all, my brothers have already married in Yanmen, but still I didn¡¯t go and take a look, so it¡¯s time to go back and take a look.¡± (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
