Chapter 205 The Prince Comes to Ask

If you have money, you can start construction. Li Zheng, Li Yi’s Mansion and Xu Jingzong began to plan how to build roads.

A ten-kilometer road must be built outside Jingyang Village.

Li Yifu suggested: "It is better to build the roads in Niujia Village and the roads in the princess' fiefdom."

Picking up the brush, Li drew a straight line between Jingyang and Chang'an.

Xu Jingzong looked at the line drawn by Li Zheng and understood the meaning, "The county marquis means a road to Chang'an."

"Yes."

"Isn't there already an official position?" Xu Jingzong asked.

Li Yifu said: "The official road is indeed a bit bumpy and has not been repaired for many years."

The official road does not lead directly to Jingyang. Jingyang was also one of the poorer counties in Chang'an. The official road in Chang'an leads to Luoyang.

But the official road is more than an hour away from Jingyang, and most of them are woodland paths.

Future transportation will be a big problem.

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "Do you know why you say that you should build roads first when you get rich?"

Li Yifu shook his head, "But I think what the county marquis must be right."

After taking a sip of cold and white-opened, Li Zheng explained to the two: "The most important transportation in business is that the road is not good. If you have difficulty transporting transportation, you can only transport ten goods to Chang'an for sale in a day, so you can only earn ten goods, but what if you can transport fifteen goods a day? Do you earn more? This is the role of infrastructure."

Li Yifu nodded with some clarity.

All roads lead to your home, and Jingyang’s ability to get rid of poverty and become rich!

Li Zhi thought so in his heart.

Infrastructure is very important, and when infrastructure construction reaches a certain level, qualitative changes will occur.

The relationship between economic development and infrastructure is inseparable.

After putting away his mood, Li Zheng drew several more lines. These lines are the lines connecting Jingyang and the surrounding villages.

"Build all these roads." Li Zheng said to them.

Xu Jingzong whispered: "Marquis of the County, should you report to the court?"

"Okay." Li Zheng nodded.

"There is a plan now."

Xu Jingzong wrote a memorial and sent it to the court.

Li Shimin, who was sitting in the Lizheng Hall, received two bottles of perfume, which were sent by the Lu family.

Eunuch Wang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the Lu family has borrowed flowers to offer Buddha?"

Li Shimin sneered: "They are not thinking about the prince's marriage."

Empress Changsun said worriedly: "It is said that this perfume is 30,000 guan a bottle, why don't we send it back."

"It's already sent, how can I send it back?" Li Shimin sighed.

Empress Changsun also has a bottle of perfume, but it was given by Li Zheng. Li Zheng was Li Shimin's prospective son-in-law and naturally accepted it without any hindrance. It was also considered Li Zheng's filial piety to him.

But the gift from the Lu family obviously tasted wrong. Li Chengqian, like Li Lizhi, is both his son and daughter, and he is also concerned about the marriage of the eldest son and daughter. Empress Changsun said, "This gift is too hot."

Holding the perfume in his hand, Li Shimin looked coldly and said, "I don't believe it anymore. Li Zheng really can't make perfume anymore."

Li Junxian stood outside the hall and reported: "Your Majesty! Xu Jingzong has a copy to report."

"Support it." Li Shimin said loudly.

Walking into the hall, Li Junxian handed the memorial to Li Shimin.

Opening the memorial, Li Shimin looked at the words above, "Li is going to build a road?"

Looking at what the memorial said, the road construction route must be built until Chang'an.

Although I don’t understand Li Zheng’s thoughts, those official paths have long wanted to be repaired, but I just haven’t had time, let alone so much money.

He didn't dare to conquer the people's strength. Li Zheng had earned so much money and was thinking about building roads. It seemed that this kid was also concerned about the country, and Li Shimin felt much more relieved.

Li Shimin still discussed with Du Ruhui and other ministers.

Finally, I drafted an order to agree to Li Zheng’s road construction.

The Lu family gave two bottles of perfume to his father.

Of course Li Chengqian knew what the Lu family meant.

The official from the Eastern Palace came to report: "Your Highness, there is news about Li Zheng."

"Say!" Li Chengqian looked worried.

The official from the Eastern Palace said: "Xu Jingzong, who was doing business in Li Zheng, handed his Majesty a memorial to His Majesty. His Majesty agreed to let Li Zheng build the road and issued an order."

"Build roads? Why did Li Zheng build roads?"

"I don't know." The official from the Eastern Palace shook his head.

Building roads, building roads, although the official roads in the Central Plains have been disrepaired for a long time, they are still well-connected.

Before, the First Emperor built the road. Why did Li Zheng build the road?

My father actually agreed?!

Then he thought, if someone said he wanted to build a road, his father would definitely not agree, but Li Zheng was a man without power, so Li Chengqian understood his father's intention.

He asked the official from the Eastern Palace again: "What did the father say after receiving the Lu family perfume?"

"Your Majesty said nothing."

Li Chengqian naturally didn't want his future to be tied to his five surnames.

After thinking about this, Li Chengqian packed up his clothes and said to the official from the Eastern Palace: "Prepare a carriage and horse, I will go to see Li Zheng."

Jingyang

Many villagers were talking about Li Zheng suddenly wanted to build a road, but he couldn't find anything good, so why did he build a road?

Li Daxiong said sadly: "This kid earns money by himself, and he will follow him no matter how much he spends it."

"Big Bear, you can't talk about your son too." The aunt in the village persuaded.

Li Daxiong looked sad...

There were many people standing outside Jingyang Village. Now the autumn harvest has passed, and many people are idle.

The efficiency of recruiting personnel is also very good at this time.

After counting a large number of people, Cheng Chumo and Li Ke also brought a guard to maintain public order.

Nearly a thousand people stood neatly.

“How many people are there now?”

Li Yifu said with the list of statistics: "There are already 851 people."

"It's almost done, there are not too many people, and it's not easy to organize if there are too many." Li Zheng greeted Cheng Chumo: "You can greet 300 people first to see the road."

Cheng Chumo rode his horse and pulled people away from here first.

Each person's labor costs ten cents a month and three meals a day.

The conditions are already very good, and the people I receive are all young and strong.

Coordinate the distribution of personnel and leave the next thing to Li Yifu and Xu Jingzongla.

The cement in the system has been used up, and there is too much cement required for a ten-kilometer road.

The reward this time is iron ore, and I don’t know if there will be cement.

In order to cope with tasks and to continue to do so, cement must be made.

Dahu came to report, "General of the Central Army, the Crown Prince has come down."

"Oh." Li Zheng looked at the map and didn't raise his head.

Dahu whispered again: "General of the Central Army, His Highness the Crown Prince said he wants to see you."

"I'm busy and have no time." Li Zheng said.

"But..." Dahu was sweating coldly. He was the crown prince and the crown prince. If he couldn't see him, he wouldn't see him. This was too disgrace to give the prince.

While speaking, Li Chengqian had already walked towards Li Zheng.

Li Chengqian said: "It's okay, you can do it first."
