Chapter 693 Ask your daughter
I don’t care much about these minor matters on weekdays, but when Li Zheng said this, Li Shimin remembered that this was indeed the case.
Li Zheng continued: "Drainage systems often affect many aspects, especially epidemics, which are a hidden danger. It is necessary to renovate and repair Chang'an's sewers. In addition, the greening problem in Chang'an City is too poor. It is too much to have such a big city with a population of millions without greening."
This kid has a very clever perspective.
However, according to Li Zheng's view, the drainage ditches in Chang'an do need to be well cleared and repaired.
After every rain, there will be water accumulation in many places in Chang'an City.
Li Zheng continued: "Domestic sewage is dumped at will, and domestic sewage for millions of people is a concept. Even the well water in Chang'an is smelly in ten years."
Li Shimin glanced at it and thought, could Li Zheng think that Chang'an where I have been in is a smelly place?
Li Zheng continued: "So the drainage in Chang'an has already been repaired."
"It really needs to be repaired properly, and there are many kinds of trees, just like Jingyang. If there are some trees in Chang'an, it will look particularly comfortable."
Li Zheng also said: "There are also many kinds of trees around Chang'an City. The old saying goes, "Previous people plant trees and later people enjoy the cool air. Planting trees has another greater use to prevent sand. Did Your Majesty not notice that when the wind blows in the northwest, it will eventually bring a lot of sand and dust. Moreover, due to the long-term deforestation and cultivation of Longxi, the desertification of the land has been particularly serious."
Li Shimin seemed to be tired of sitting, so he changed his seating position.
After saying so much, Li Zheng felt a little thirsty and took another sip of tea.
Li Shimin asked, "So, like you Jingyang, have multiple trees?"
Li Zheng said: "If possible, plant a sand prevention forest west of Longyou. I know that this may not be so easy for Your Majesty, but you don't have to worry about repairing Chang'an first."
Unexpectedly, Li Zheng understood me quite well, and Li Shimin felt much more comfortable.
"If you want to plant sand prevention forests in Longyou, you also need to pass the nod of the Guanlong clans. With Your Majesty's current ability, this matter may not be smooth, because it will affect the interests of the Guanlong clans."
With my ability, this will not go smoothly?
Two more muffled thunders exploded, and Li Shimin's brow twitched twice, "Li Zheng, are you saying I'm incompetent?"
Li Zheng shook the fan in his hand and smiled awkwardly, "Don't dare, don't dare."
"I dare not? You have already said that." Li Shimin glared at the beard.
"It's really heavy. I'm afraid the sewage from Chang'an City will be backflowing again when I go back."
Li Zheng said sadly.
Li Shimin also took a look at the heavy rain outside. If anyone dared to talk to me like this.
Isn't this Li Zheng really afraid that I will kill him?
It's a pity to just kill him like this.
As an emperor, you must have the spirit of an emperor.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said, "The drainage canal in Chang'an City does need to be repaired, but according to your map, how long will it take to repair it."
"It's about one or two months, the project is quite large. I can ask Yan Liben to organize mandates for repairs, and His Majesty can pay."
Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng's expression and could actually send someone to do this kind of thing.
But looking at Li Zheng's map, Li Shimin felt that if someone from the Central Department of Works came to do it, he would not be as good as Yan Liben.
I was really angry when I thought that Yan Liben was doing things for Li Zheng now, but if his emperor and his ministers wanted to follow him to be the emperor, they could not force him to do things for the court, as this would make him look very stingy as the emperor.
I need to have a strong mind.
Li Shimin said to himself in his heart.
The thunderstorm comes quickly and goes quickly, and the thunder gradually fades away.
The rain has also become much smaller.
"How much do you want to repair the drainage ditches in Chang'an City and plant trees for me!"
Li Zheng thought to himself and said, "I want to ask His Majesty's daughter?"
"My daughter?"
"Yes." Li Zheng nodded seriously.
"How much does it cost, my daughter has the final say?"
Li Zheng nodded, "Now, the financial power of Jingyang is in the hands of Princess Chang'an. When doing business with His Majesty, Princess Changle naturally needs to settle the score."
Li Shimin laughed inexplicably, "Can Lizhi do such a thing?"
Li Zheng drank tea and said, "Now the financial situation in Jingyang is very stable under the governance of Princess Changle. I have to say that Princess Changle is very talented in handling accounts. Now most of the money transactions in Jingyang are handled by Princess Changle."
After saying that, Li Zheng nodded seriously again.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "So you can go idle all day long?"
Li Zheng sighed: "Your Majesty doesn't know that our Jingyang money earns hundreds of thousands of yuan every month, and hundreds of thousands of yuan, counting the money will make you cramp. Moreover, Princess Changle now has seven or eight maids helping, so I can't be busy alone."
This kid is clearly smiling!
When Li Shimin married his daughter to Li Zheng, he was unhappy.
If Lizhi hadn't been devoted to Li Zheng, how could this kid be cheaper?
I never found Lizhi’s talent in calculating the accounts before.
Looking at Li Zheng's smile now, the boy smiled as if he had found a treasure, and Li Shimin felt inexplicably burning.
Li Shimin stood up and walked step by step outside the library.
Li Zheng said, "Your Majesty, the rain hasn't stopped yet?"
Li Shimin's steps did not stop and walked into the rain.
However, the rain has become drizzle, so it should not be a serious problem.
Li Zheng greeted Li Shimin's back and said, "Your Majesty, you will ask Princess Changle to arrange someone to hand over the contract and accounts to Your Majesty."
I don’t know if Li Shimin heard it, but the emperor went further and further.
After returning to Chang'an, Li Shimin asked someone to check the situation in Chang'an. It was true that there were many water and sewage backflows on the streets of Chang'an.
In Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin felt inexplicably angry when he thought of Li Zheng's face.
"Did this kid calculate it correctly? I can't refuse if Lizhi speaks? I can't bargain with my daughter?"
Queen Changsun, who was standing beside her, said: "How can a father bargain with her daughter?"
Li Shimin held his forehead distressedly, "What a Li Zheng, it's really a good method. I can't do anything to you? I was so confused at the beginning, let Lizhi marry you."
