However, for this wave of tourists, the Forbidden Army did not dare to charge them a gate fee.

"The gate fee? Haha, King Jin is indeed a second person!"

Li Shimin took Cheng Zhijie and others, lying on the wooden sign, looked at it with interest for a while, and then walked along the cement road with a happy face.

"Li Chang!"

On the way, when they saw Li Chang, the butler of the King of Jin wandering around in Manzhuangzi, they all looked happy, and quickly blocked Li Chang.

"The villain has met His Majesty, the King of Hejian County, and all the princes!"

Blocked by a group of old killers, Li Chang could only salute one by one with a happy face.

"Where is Xuanba?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the king is stalking the bear, this meeting should be in the paddy field!"

Li Chang quickly pointed to the field in the distance and said.

"Sneak a bear?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but startled.

"Return to Your Majesty, it is the iron-eating beast raised by the king, the white bear!"

Li Chang quickly explained: "Your Majesty said that a bear eats and sleeps all day long, and after sleeping and eating, it is prone to obesity and its limbs degenerate, so he started to carry that white bear and walk around the village!"

As he said that, Li Chang couldn't help but look weird.

"I see!"

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, "Go on your own, I'll go find Xuanba!"

With that said, Li Shimin walked towards the field by himself.

The road in Lijiazhuang is easy to find, square and flat, as long as you walk along the cement road.

Soon, Li Shimin and the others saw Li Xuanyi and the others.

It's not hard not to pay attention, so many people are busy in the fields, only a bunch of people are wandering around, and they are all the evil people of their own family.

"Your Majesty, Aye?"

As Li Shimin walked in, Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others also found Li Shimin and others walking behind them.

"Why is Your Majesty here?"

Li Xuan picked up Li Xiong who was trying to get into the water with one hand, let Li Xiong's short and thick limbs dangle randomly, and asked Li Shimin and others behind him.

Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others froze.

However, Li Shimin still smiled and said, "Xuanba, I plan to entertain all the patriarchs of the aristocratic families in the Tai Chi Palace in four days' time!"

"Your Majesty, I know about this!" Li Xuan nodded and said.

Forehead!

Li Shimin was taken aback again, there was really no way to continue talking!

On the side, Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness, I am here to inquire about something!"

"Ok?"

Li Xuan was stunned, and finally looked serious this time, looked at Li Shimin, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, what happened again?"

"Xuanba, the heads of those noble families have been gathering together these days to conspire against the Road Construction Division and the Housing Construction Division. I am worried that so many noble families will be united together, and problems will easily arise!"

Li Shimin sighed and said slowly.

"Your Majesty is worried that they will compromise with each other, who will pave the cement road first?" Li Xuan frowned and asked hastily.

"Exactly!" Li Shimin nodded.

"That would disappoint the patriarchs of these aristocratic families. I promised Cui Hongmo that I will first lay a concrete road for the Cui family in Qinghe!"

……

Chapter 232 The old man is here

Li Xuan laughed lightly and continued.

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't come, I'm going to suggest to Your Majesty to open a cement workshop near Qingzhou and a cement workshop in Xingyang, and at the same time lay a cement road from Chang'an to Xingyang, from Qingzhou to Xingyang, and then from Xingyang to Qingzhou and Chang'an Lay concrete roads!

In this way, construction can be started everywhere, and the paving can be completed in less than two months! "

"First pave concrete roads for Chang'an and Qingzhou?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others were startled.

Immediately, after thinking about it for a moment, they all looked happy.

"What Xuanba said is very true. Luoyang is the accompanying capital, and the concrete roads are paved, so it is better to pave the cement roads for Luoyang first!"

"These reasons are reasonable, and there are so many aristocratic families in Luoyang, they will definitely agree!"

"Even if the aristocratic family disagrees, the Changsun family and the Zheng family must agree!"

"Anyway, no matter what deals those aristocratic families make secretly, the first concrete road is to be built in Luoyang first!"

"Luoyang is connected to the Grand Canal. As long as the cement road between Luoyang and Chang'an is connected, our Datang's control over the south will definitely be strengthened, and the food in the south can be quickly transported to all places in Guanzhong!"

"..."

Without Li Xuan's words, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji suddenly realized the benefits and feasibility of laying the cement road in Luoyang first.

They were only thinking about how to deal with those aristocratic families before, but they never thought about jumping out of the circle of aristocratic families and laying concrete roads according to their wishes.

How could the aristocratic family who gave priority to paving those roads disagree?

Anyway, the imperial court has the greatest say in the Road Construction Department and the Housing Construction Department!When the family came in, they just wanted the family to pay for it.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task at the moment is to start a cement factory first. You can take advantage of the establishment of the Housing Construction Department and the Road Construction Department to give some benefits to His Majesty's confidant ministers, such as paving cement roads for the princes and families, or first Build concrete roads for the counties around Chang'an City!"

Li Xuan reminded.

"This?"

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi, Fang Xuanling and the others were startled.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui's faces were full of joy.

Among them, Fang Xuanling came from the Qinghe Fang family and was a descendant of Yao.Cheng Zhijie comes from the Cheng family in Dongah, Jeju, not far from Qinghe.

Not to mention Li Xiaogong, the Li clan is from the Chengji Li family in Longxi.

Except for Li Xiaogong, from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then to Qingzhou, they can also pave and build cement roads for their Patriarch.

Du Ruhui, but the real Jingzhao Du's family, is from Duling County near Chang'an City.

In the past few days, the head of the Fang family and the magistrate of Duling County have come to look for him every day.

"Moreover, taking advantage of these few days, the general supervisor can keep an eye on it all the time, and teach more people who are proficient in laying cement roads. Good thing!"

Li Xuan continued.

"Xuanba's words are justified!"

Li Shimin said quickly.

Du Ruhui bowed respectfully to Li Xuanba, and Li Xuanba's suggestion relieved him of the big siege.

"Hey, will you be a prisoner?"

Suddenly, Cheng Zhijie's expression brightened.

Li Shimin and Li Xuan looked over, and sure enough, they saw Gongsun Nian, the general supervisor, walking over with a sad face.

"I have seen His Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty, and Your Excellencies!"

Seeing Li Shimin, the general supervisor squeezed out a smile on his face.

"What do you worry about as a prisoner?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, for the past few days, I have been visited by many aristocratic families every day, and I can't shirk the banquet. It is really a headache!"

As Li Shimin's confidant, the general supervisor naturally knew what his majesty's attitude was towards those aristocratic families.

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others on the side nodded in agreement.

Although they are nobles of the state, these days, those aristocratic families can always come to the door through various relationships, and they can't refuse.

"Weichen really wished he could live on the construction site every day instead of going back to his house!"

"I didn't expect the general prisoner to have such a wish!"

Li Shimin was startled, his eyes were full of strangeness.

"It's just right, I have something to do, I will arrange it for you!"

Gongsun Nian was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions, I will definitely do my best!"

"I want to pave concrete roads for the counties and counties around Chang'an. Is there any problem with this matter being supervised?" Li Shimin said.

"May I ask Your Majesty, which county will be paved first?"

Gongsun Nian was taken aback for a moment, and was immediately overjoyed.

"What do you suggest?"

Li Shimin asked.

Gongsun Nian was stunned, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the concrete roads should be paved for Chang'an City first. The gates of Chang'an City are often crushed by vehicles and horses, so there are gullies everywhere. Whenever it rains, there will inevitably be puddles, and the people will complain endlessly!"

"good!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to pave and build concrete roads for Duling County at the same time!"

On the side, Du Ruhui also hurriedly cupped his hands and said.

"Can!"

Li Shimin glanced at Du Ruhui in surprise, and nodded slightly, "But Duling County is only twenty miles away from Chang'an City, so it's not worth setting up a card to collect merchant tax!"

"Return to Your Majesty, the Du family and all the aristocratic families in Duling County know about this matter, and they will all contribute the money!"

Du Ruhui said quickly.

"can!"

Li Shimin nodded and looked at Gongsun Nian.

"So, is it feasible for Chang'an City and Duling County to build cement roads together?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will work around the clock to complete the construction quickly!"

Gongsun Nian nodded quickly.

"I don't want you to stay day and night, I just want to teach more people who are proficient in cement during this period of time!"

Li Shimin said.

Gongsun Nian was startled, and quickly cupped his hands, "I will definitely do my best!"

"Very good!"

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, after chatting with Li Xuan again for a long time, Li Shimin took Changsun Wuji and others and left slowly.

……

Day two.

Lijiazhuang welcomes another wave of tourists with special identities!

Li Xuan had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and greet him personally outside the door.

"Old man Cui Xuanlan from the Cui family of Qinghe, I have met His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Outside the door, a benevolent and well-dressed old man saluted Li Xuan respectfully.

"Li Xuan met Patriarch Cui!"
