The Department of Housing Construction is in charge of the construction of houses for the common people in the world, and the Department of Road Construction is in charge of all road and bridge constructions in the world.All the officials are appointed by the imperial court and assessed by the Ministry of Officials.

The aristocratic family invested money, and the imperial court jointly funded the construction of cement roads. The cement roads between states were set up to collect business taxes. The imperial court accounted for [-]% and the aristocratic family accounted for [-]%. A split!

In addition, bridges can also be built between big rivers and steep gorges, and cards can be set up to collect business tax and poll tax...

The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Superintendent distribute housing construction projects, and the Housing Construction Department builds houses and cities, and the final profits are shared equally between the imperial court and the aristocratic family..."

"The Department of Housing Construction and the Department of Road Construction are the hope of the common people in the world. The houses, roads and bridges built are jointly supervised by the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the general supervisor.

Anyone who breaks the law will be strictly investigated! "

"This is the charter of the Road Construction Department and the Housing Construction Department. I wonder if you have any doubts?"

After explaining in detail the regulations of the Housing Construction Department and the Road Construction Department that Shang Shuxing and other ministers studied hard and spent so many days customizing, Pei Ji sat down slowly and took a sip of clear tea to moisten his throat.

After listening, all the aristocratic families quickly looked at each other.

Immediately, an aristocratic family head in front stood up and slightly cupped his hands towards Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, do you dare to ask, above Fang Jiansi and Lu Jiansi, the imperial court has to occupy [-]%?"

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "The Department of Housing Construction and the Department of Road Construction are the first government offices of a merchant nature. Those who occupy the most members have the most say. The imperial court occupies more than half, so they can manage the Department of Housing and Road Construction in a legitimate manner."

"Your Majesty, this old man speaks boldly. I heard that all the ministers in the court can also invest in the Housing Construction Department and the Road Construction Department?"

"Naturally, although the ministers are court officials, they are also a family among the people!"

"However, the old man still listens to Prime Minister Pei's idea, and the various government offices in the DPRK can also invest in the Housing Construction Department and the Road Construction Department?"

"Exactly, it's just that the various government agencies in the court do not have their own assets, and you can't invest without money!"

"So, the old man understands, thank you Your Majesty for clarifying the confusion!"

Hearing this, the Patriarch nodded thoughtfully and sat down.

Then, another family head not far away stood up again.

"Your Majesty, since this banquet is to discuss the matter of investing in the Road Construction Department and the Housing Construction Department, please forgive me for speaking bluntly!"

"Patriarch Liu, please speak!"

"Your Majesty, since the Road Construction Department and the Housing Construction Department are jointly funded by our aristocratic family to invest in the construction of houses and roads, I don't know how much the imperial court invested, but they can account for [-]% of the shares?"

"The imperial court does not directly invest any money, but only invests in all materials, officials, and craftsmen. These are enough to account for [-]% of the share!"

Li Shimin chuckled and continued: "However, among the [-]% and a half members, half of the members have to be distributed to King Jin, which is regarded as a reward for King Jin for providing cement. Calculate according to the number invented by King Jin , is a member of [-]!"

"This?"

Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Hedong Liu family's expression changed, and he became anxious.

"Your Majesty's remarks are somewhat inappropriate."

"I don't know what Patriarch Liu thinks is wrong?"

"Your Majesty, it is inappropriate for the imperial court to only provide materials, officials, and craftsmen, which account for more than half of the shares. In addition, it is even more inappropriate for King Jin to provide cement formula, and it can still occupy [-]% of the shares. Old man I think both are unfair!"

"That's right, please tell your majesty that this kind of allocation is very inappropriate!"

Immediately, all the aristocratic families followed suit.

With an extra [-]%, they can get at least more than [-] or even hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Li Shimin chuckled lightly and ignored him.

"Patriarchs, don't argue. The imperial court occupies [-]% and a half, and it is impossible to change it. If anyone thinks it is too much, you don't need to invest money. The imperial court will not force you!"

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji and the others below said hastily.

"Your Majesty, when it comes to business, don't be so ruthless!"

Seeing Li Shimin's determined face, the Patriarchs continued to speak.

"This matter has been decided, and it will not be changed. Your Majesty wants you to participate. It is the advice of King Jin. With the participation of your family, the cement road can be paved faster. Otherwise, the court only needs to slow down. , The cement road can also be paved normally!"

Pei Ji also spoke.

At the same time, I was deeply disappointed in the greed and asexuality of these aristocratic families.

"Pei Xiang and the Duke of Qi should not make such an assertion that our aristocratic family has invested so much money, only accounting for [-]% of the shares. The imperial court really uses our aristocratic family as a tool for money! This kind of behavior, our aristocratic family is ten thousand Never agree!"

Saying that, all the aristocratic families also nodded one after another, their eyes full of determination.

……

Chapter 235: Your Majesty, you're getting rich now!

"Whoever disagrees, they can withdraw!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression darkened, and his words were indifferent.

Hearing this, all the aristocratic families below couldn't help being stunned, Li Er's expression was completely different from what they expected before!

However, Li Shimin didn't give these aristocratic families a chance to respond, and said directly: "A few days ago, the King of Jin advised me that the first concrete road was directly paved from Chang'an to Qingzhou.

Regarding this matter, do Patriarch Cui of Qinghe and Patriarch Zheng of Xingyang have any objections? "

"Return to Your Majesty, I have no objection!"

"Your Majesty, the old man has no objection!"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe were startled, and then they said quickly.

"Patriarch Cui? Patriarch Zheng, wait..."

Hearing that these two people were so open-minded, all the families except the Henan Dao family were surprised.

Afterwards, he couldn't help guessing in his heart, could it be that this Li Er wanted to win over a group of aristocratic families and suppress a group of aristocratic families?

still is……

The more you think about it, the more complicated the thoughts of the family become.

"In this way, the two Patriarchs can discuss with Pei Xiang, the Ministry of Households, and the Department of Housing Construction and Road Construction in a while!"

Li Shimin nodded slowly and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe bowed their hands together, but after sitting down, their eyes were full of wry smiles.

This time, they were completely placed on the opposite side of the world's aristocratic families by His Majesty, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

"Who else among you wants to take this path?"

Afterwards, Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson's family in Luoyang is willing to vote!"

"Your Majesty, the Qinghe Fang family is willing to vote!"

"Your Majesty, the Luoyang Yu family wishes to..."

Under the terrified eyes of all the aristocratic families, more than 30 aristocratic families immediately stood up.

But they never thought that if Li Shimin paved the cement road for them first, they would actively pave it.

On the other side, Li Shimin and the other ministers couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Immediately, all faces were filled with joy.

This time, these aristocratic families have no power to resist!

Seeing this, the Wang family, the Lu family, and other aristocratic families couldn't sit still.

Everyone knows how important Luoyang's location is.In the future, the concrete road from Chang'an City to Luoyang must have the most numerous caravans.

Therefore, they looked at each other and stood up slowly.

"Your Majesty, we are also willing to invest some money!"

Li Shimin chuckled lightly and said, "Very good!"

"However, as the King of Jin said, the aristocratic families in each state can only invest in other state roads after they have saved enough money for the cement roads where their families are located."

"This?"

Hearing this, all the aristocratic families were dumbfounded.

However, there is nothing to do.

Then, the next thing is a matter of course.

All the aristocratic families, after hastily eating the banquet, started to find Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji and other ministers responsible for the establishment of the Road Construction Department and the Housing Construction Department, and began to calculate the money and argue about how many shares each family should take.

Originally, they came all the way here for the Housing and Road Construction Department.

Who would have thought that Cui Xuanlan and Zheng Yuanzhe, two veterans, would directly surrender to the enemy before they even started.

And all the aristocratic families in Henan Province also followed without resistance.

This is completely different from what they discussed before?

It was agreed that the world's aristocratic families will form an alliance together, advance and retreat together, and force Li Er to give up some members?

In the end, tsk, they were all white-eyed wolves!

Ugh!

Thinking about it, among the aristocratic families, they became more vigilant against each other.

Afterwards, Li Er and a group of courtiers thoroughly saw the arrogance of the aristocratic family.

Qinghe Cui's family directly paid 30 guan, accounting for half of the road from Qinghe to Chang'an.

The Zheng family in Xingyang also paid 30 guan, accounting for half of the road from Qinghe to Chang'an.

Immediately, the Qinghe Fang family, Luoyang Changsun family, Luoyang Yuwen family, Luoyang Dugu family, Luoyang Yu family and other Guanlong groups, Guanxi Wei, Pei, Xue, Yang, Liu, Du family, Jiangnan family and other big families, Boling Cui family, etc. Family, Fanyang Lu family, Longxi Li family, Zhaojun Li family, Taiyuan Wang family and other aristocratic families, as well as Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Yu Chigong and other ministers, divided up the remaining [-]%!

In less than half a day, 270 million yuan went directly to the household department.

"Your Majesty, you have made a fortune!"

Cheng Zhijie laughed directly.

"Your Majesty, I never thought it would be so easy to ask this family to pay for it!"

"Every family only needs to pay tens of thousands of guan, and the money for paving the road from Chang'an City to Qingzhou is recovered. 270 million guan, those aristocratic families paid out without even arguing, and even some Can't wait!"

Inside the Hall of Liangyi, Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others all had joyful expressions on their faces, even full of disbelief.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what is the cost of the cement?"

Now, what did Pei Ji think of, and asked cautiously.

"Pei Xiang, don't worry, the money is completely enough!"

Aside, Changsun Wuji replied.

"In this way, the imperial court can pave the road from Chang'an to Qingzhou with only some craftsmen's wages!"

Pei Ji said excitedly, "His Royal Highness King Jin is really a genius!"

"Pei Xiang, don't worry, the craftsmen's wages are enough, and even after careful calculation, it can include all the craftsmen's meals!" Fang Xuanling gently supported Qingxu, his face beaming with joy.

"This……"

Pei Ji looked surprised, and stared at the boss, "So, the court doesn't need to spend a copper coin to build such a long road?"

"Exactly!"

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, the people of the world are blessed!"

Pei Ji quickly saluted Li Shimin respectfully.

Although his Pei family seemed to be taking advantage of it, but according to the income that the road from Chang'an City to Qingzhou will generate, there are still some profits.

As long as the Pei family does not lose money and can bring great benefits to the people of the world, Pei Ji will support it.

The same is true for Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have paid for it himself, and would have given it to his family to follow suit.
