Chapter 109 is to rewrite history

Ning Wen's confusion was finally solved, mainly because he was involved in these struggles without realizing it. He couldn't accept it and had no experience, so he felt very depressed. No one in the family could tell the pain, and it was also a loss to Guo Enxiong, otherwise Ning Wen would have been ill.

"Sir, the papermaking workshop should be done as early as possible. It's just now. It's better to go there in the past two days and break it earlier, so as not to cause more trouble."

Guo Enxiong specifically reminded Ning Wen, that is, if Li Ke used the papermaking workshop as a weapon to attack him, it would be really not worth the effort for Ning Wen. He just felt that it would be a little less generous to wipe his butt in the bathroom in the future. Now he is throwing a whole piece of white paper into the pit, and he doesn't feel sorry at all.

"Old Guo is relieved, I don't care about this input."

Ning Wen replied absent-mindedly, wondering if this old Guo was a bit of a spendthrift. As soon as he came, he devoted his workshop at home. Ning Wen felt a little reluctant to let go of his own efforts, so the Li family members were hated.

"Sir, Guo doesn't know which family the prince belongs to, but Guo reminds the Sir, be cautious in everything!"

It's time to go to work. Today, the prince, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue are waiting to study the matter of building cars and repairing roads. It's rare to get up so early. Yu'er and Erya help dress Ning Wen with sleepy eyes. If you become an official, you have to look like an official. Ning Wen will not touch those official uniforms and wear them uncomfortable.

The meeting location was arranged in the East Palace. As soon as Ning Wen entered the Xiande Hall, he saw four officials similar to the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue standing honestly in two shifts, waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince to arrive.

Seeing Ning Wen come in, the four of them have no expression on their faces. Ning Wen bowed and said hello. The four of them bowed to Ning Wen, but they felt that they were just perfunctory and Ning Wen was also open-minded. After all, they were a senior official of the court, and he was a viscount, and he could not catch the eye of others.

The arrival of Li Chengqian shocked the four people. Ning Wen obviously felt that these people were emitting endless energy and energy. The legendary fart spirit was probably like this. Ning Wen felt that he was still studying and exerting more to achieve such a state.

The main topic of the first special meeting was the specific details of the preliminary preparations. Li Chengqian first talked about his own views:

"The Tang Dynasty has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and most of the border areas are barren. People live in difficult life. Building cars and roads is a thousand years of achievement. Today, I have the people in my heart and feel that the responsibility is great, so I ordered my king and you to jointly plan to rescue the people on the border from water and fire."

After saying that, he paused and looked at Ning Wen and the others. Seeing that the few people were ready to move, they all showed a strong look on their faces. They felt very happy in their hearts, so they continued:

"The road construction work depends on the country and the people. I want to recruit 100,000 people in advance. Starting from Chang'an and going east to Yangzhou, I will build a prosperous road as Ningwen said. I wonder what you think?"

Ning Wen's mouth was sweet and almost vomited blood. The naked Jie and Zhou were completely seeking death. Not to mention whether the 100,000 people could be successfully recruited, this idea alone would make Li Shimin faint directly on the ground. You should know that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui built a canal to recruit one million people. This handsome guy had 100,000 people in advance, and he put 100,000 people on these thousands of miles away. He probably couldn't see anyone. Maybe he would have to pay back 100,000 people in the future. If he couldn't make it easy, he would have set a record. The consequences were definitely worse than Emperor Yang of Sui.

"Your Highness, I think it's better to choose a relatively flat official road for transformation first, and see the effect. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"

Ning Wen couldn't help but interrupt Li Chengqian. There was no way, this guy was too angry. Besides, Li Shimin would definitely not let this guy be so dissipated, and he wouldn't do this badly.

At this moment, the four ministers seemed extraordinary. Not only were they flattering the mountain sounds, but they were also very enthusiastic about building a high-level highway from Chang'an to Yangzhou. It seemed that the day when this road was repaired was the time when Li Chengqian ascended the throne, Ning Wen felt like he wanted to vomit.

"Ning Wen's words are reasonable. That's all, let's discuss here first today and get together in three days. You should think about it carefully and see what to do."

Li Chengqian probably felt that he could only ask for a hundred thousand people at once. He could not get anything from his old man. Maybe he would be scolded and couldn't open it now. He blamed himself for not thinking about it, so he asked Ning Wen to stay and sent the others. Ning Wen felt sad and didn't want to stay here.

"Ning Wen doesn't have to be polite, just sit down."

Ning Wen sat down, and Li Chengqian even asked someone to serve Ning Wen. Li Chengqian glanced at Ning Wen and said:

"Ning Wen, what you said about the transformation of the official road was not mentioned before. I wonder what kind of upgrading method is?"

Ning Wen took a sip of tea and owed his body slightly:

"When you go back to Your Highness, the so-called upgrade and transformation is to consolidate the roadbed, level the road surface under the original road conditions, and then lay the three-dimensional soil on it. This reduces a lot of cumbersome things and is much faster than rebuilding the road."

Ning Wen's original intention was to reduce project investment and reduce the number of civilians as much as possible. Thinking that Li Chengqian was so anxious, it was considered to be a favor, so he revealed the transformation path to Li Chengqian. I guess this guy will mention it to him tomorrow, and he will probably get praise from Li Shimin.

"So that's the case, I thought of it, but I just felt a little afraid of my head and feet. Since Guangcheng also thought so, I presented this plan to the emperor to see how His Majesty judged it. Haha."

Li Chengqian's appearance was very ugly. He thought of him and kicked Ning Wen far away, without any grace at all.

Ning Wen didn't care. Guo Enxiong had instructed to be cautious in everything, and he would make mistakes if he said too much. Since the prince was willing to make the case, he would be happy to be idle. Besides, right and wrong are just a matter of Li Shimin's thoughts. If Li Shimin is not as kind as in history books, if he plans to recruit millions of civilians in one breath, this is also an indescribable thing.

History is written by people, and it may not be recorded very clearly. Take Cui Shuai Ge's seeds for example. I remember many people have said that things like corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. were introduced by European merchants around the fifteenth century. It seems that it was the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty. Ning Wen couldn't remember them, but after searching by Cui Shuai Ge, he found that the barbarian Hu Shang, who traveled between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, had seeds from the American continent. Of course, these people will definitely not be recorded in history books. After all, where is the status of merchants, who cares about them without any trouble.

Cui Shuai Ge's subsequent seeds were also in place, mainly sweet potatoes and potatoes, and another fifty-five carriages entered the city in a mighty manner. Since it was an official task, there was no need to hide it. Ning Wen also dug a cellar for this matter and placed these precious sweet potatoes and potatoes.

"Brother Ning, look, this thing is the pepper you have been looking for for many days, right?" Mr. Cui was holding a few red peppers in his hand. It was not bad. Ning Wen took it and saw that it was indeed peppers, not bigger than those of later generations. It was small, and it felt so spicy.

"That's exactly, it's Ning who has been looking for peppers for many days. Brother Cui Shi will be able to taste the taste of this product next year, so you won't be able to stand it."

Ning Wen carefully put half a bag of chili powder, not knowing what the chili seeds looked like. Ning Wen thought that it might be a small piece of it in the chili, not knowing whether it was ripe. Let's take a look.

"It's a coincidence that when the barbarians returned last time, they found that there were peppers drawn by Brother Ning in the backyard, so they picked them and put them carefully. So they were afraid that Cui would not accept them. They said that they were green, but after they were left for a long time, they would become what they are today. Hehe, I wonder if Brother Ning had told Cui before that Cui really wouldn't accept them, but Cui still suppressed the price, which was a lot less than the previous day."
