Chapter 799

After choosing a lucky day and the bright sun, the young master ordered him to enter the palace and face the saint.

These days, when you enter the palace, you have to choose a day. Hum

It's hard to survive!

He was stopped before he arrived at Xingqing palace.

"Are you going to be a noodle saint? It's just that we'll be together

Mr. Li is very familiar with Zhongshu, and he is warmly invited.

The young master's order hesitated for a moment. Would you like to change the day?

Look up at the sky, and then look down to think about the next auspicious day in the Chinese calendar. It seems to be next month.

That's it. Just put up with Mr. Li.

"Mr. Li, please!"

"My Lord, please!"

They were polite to each other. Finally, they walked side by side and went to Xingqing palace to meet the emperor.

"Do you have something important to do?"

At the same time, Emperor Wende was tired of dealing with the memorials. When he talked to the two courtiers, he should be relaxed.

The young master's official glanced at Mr. Li.

Mr. Li chuckled, indicating that the family gave priority to adults.

The family order of the Shao Fu has no scruples.

"Your Majesty, I have a piece of good news to report."

"What's the good news?"

Vanderty was immediately interested.

It's been a lot of bad news these days, and it's been a lot of trouble. At present, we need a piece of good news to wash out the bad luck.

"Your Majesty, a new silver mine has been found in the northwest."

"Is it serious?"

"It's true. This is a sample of silver ore and a map... "

Shaofu's family order presents samples and maps.

Wende Di was very excited, and his life Chang en was quickly presented.

Wende held the unrefined silver sample in his hand, as if to draw strength from it.

The map is a little crude, but it is enough to see where the silver mines are.

"The silver mine is deep in the mountains?"

"Exactly

Mr. Li took the opportunity to interject, "congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. There are new silver mines in Hubu. However, the silver mine is located in the northwest and deep mountains, which is not convenient for mining and transporting out. It is really troublesome. In addition, we should also consider that if the northwest army is not properly handled, there may be conflicts. "

The young master's eyes cast a strange glance at Mr. Li.

Mr. Li's face was calm.

Wende Di nodded again and again, "what Li Aiqing said is reasonable. What do you think of it, my lord? "

"The old minister thought it was time to build roads," he said

Wende Di frowned slightly, "road building?"

All the officials thought that it was the best to rebuild the old road in Beijing. From the northwest to the silver vein, a road needs to be built to ensure that the silver ore can be transported out of the mountains and back to the capital

Mr. Li is anxious about your Majesty's urgency, "my Lord, it's easy for you to say. From the capital to the northwest, and then from the northwest to the silver vein, that is thousands of miles away. Where can the imperial court get so much money to build roads now? It's still concrete roads. For a silver mine vein, spending a lot of money and grain to build roads is putting the cart before the horse.

Your majesty, I oppose the road construction, which is increasing the burden of the people. The silver vein is there. It won't run away. It can be mined at any time. But road building is not going to work now. It's not easy for the Ministry of household to accumulate a little money and food. It's more important. "

The young master's eyes and eyebrows twitch. Mr. Li is a little strange today.

Although Mr. Li is reasonable, every sentence sounds reasonable.

However, the young master's order was so dazzling that he had already seen through Mr. Li.

The man seemed to be waiting for him on the way, and to meet the emperor with him.

It is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and his purpose is not clear.

The magistrate decided to wait and see.

Emperor Wende knocked on the table, "Li Aiqing's words are not unreasonable. Road building is not a trivial matter. At the beginning, the construction of the cement road from the capital to Hedong was time-consuming, laborious and costly. There were many twists and turns. The construction period was extended for nearly two years, and the whole road was not completed. Setting up toll stations is not so smooth. The toll collected is not as much as expected. "

The magistrate was in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, the cement road from the capital to Hedong is actually very busy. The toll charged is far greater than the amount handed in below. The reason why the toll is less and less is because of the prevalence of ink. Toll station personnel are almost controlled by various related households, and various problems arise.

Looking at the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou, each toll station checks accounts regularly, transfers personnel regularly, inspects regularly, refuses all related households, or arranges related households in other places, plus various system precautions, so the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou can develop healthily and make a lot of profits every year. "

Emperor Wende frowned.

Mr. Li echoed: "I've heard of some of the situations mentioned by the family leader. It is said that in the capital city and Hedong, including the government along the way, many relatives arrange their children who are not good at home at toll stations. It is normal for corruption to breed.As for the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou, due to the implementation of commercial management, all systems are designed to prevent the occurrence of ink corruption. On the contrary, the better and better, the people below have no chance to stretch out their hands even if they are thieves. "

Emperor Wende looked at the two ministers, "the two Ai Qing mean that the court system is not as good as a commercial firm."

Lord Li said frankly, "Your Majesty misunderstood me. Weichen means that since the purpose of building cement road is to make money, it should be managed in the way of making money. The people below have turned the toll station into a Yamen. It will be sooner or later to lose money. "

Wendedi said, "yes, I don't know.".

He looked at the young master's family order again, "if you want to build the cement road from the capital to the northwest, have you ever calculated the amount of money and food you need? How to make a profit? "

The home order of the Shao Fu carefully said: "Your Majesty, I have carefully considered this issue. The old minister suggested that Sihai should pay for the construction of the cement road from the capital to the northwest, and allow them the management rights ranging from 30 to 40 years, in which the imperial court will take a share.

In this way, we can not only save money and grain, but also get a cement road without a penny from the imperial court. Secondly, with the management means of all over the world, the income generated by this road may exceed that of the cement road from Beijing to Hedong. "

Mr. Li added, "let Sihai pay to build a cement road from northwest to silver ore vein. In this way, the imperial court can successfully mine silver ore and transport silver ore to the capital

However, the commander of the Shaofu family said, "the four seas will not do anything that is not good. By repairing the cement road from the capital to the northwest, Sihai can get the right to operate and collect tolls. The cement road from the northwest to the ore vein can't get anything from all over the world. "

"Then try to give them something." Said Mr. Li, unconcerned.

Wende gave a light cough.

Mr. Li and the family order of Shaofu shut their mouths and waited for emperor Wende to come down.

Wende Di asked, "listen to me, the two Aiqing agreed to let Sihai pay for road construction?"

"Thirty to forty years of management rights, in exchange for a cement road, I think it is worth it."

"The imperial court can also occupy a part of the shares and make profits together."

Mr. Li agreed with the young master's family order, and they all agreed to build roads from all over the world.

Vander tapped on the table and looked left and right.

The young master's order is also secretly looking at Mr. Li.

It's weird!

Mr. Li seems to be helping him on purpose!

Is it his illusion?

"My Lord, please step back. I want to talk to Li Aiqing alone. "

The young master's commander was stunned. He came back to his senses and quickly bowed down.

The hall is quiet.

Emperor Wende asked bluntly, "what is Aiqing's idea about letting Sihai preside over the construction of the cement road from the capital to the northwest?"

Lord Li said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the court needs this road. According to Wei Chen's understanding, the official road from the capital to the Northwest has been run down by vehicles and horses carrying grain and grass equipment all the year round. When the war starts, this road will seriously hinder the transportation of grain and grass.

Since Sihai wants to build roads, let them do it. In this way, the transportation of grain and grass can save at least 10 days. Ten days is enough to decide the battle.

Obviously, Sihai is better at business than the imperial court. The cement road from the capital to Hedong is a case in point. The imperial court can share the toll dividend with the official ownership. You don't have to pay for it, you can have a cement road, and you can enjoy the dividend. Why not

Emperor Wende nodded repeatedly and built cement roads, which was not a bad thing for the imperial court.

He said with a loud voice: "if you want to build roads, you can't only build the official road from the capital to the northwest, but also need to build a cement official road from the capital to Hexi. If Beirong goes south, northwest and Hexi, it may become a battlefield. "

"Your Majesty is far sighted and far sighted, and I am far behind. I'll let my parents talk about it

Wende di er said, "Ai Qing and your family make it clear that I ask you. The inside information does not need to be disclosed."

"I understand. After Wei Chen went down, he went to find a family to make it clear. Only when they don't know what benefits to promise to Sihai, they will agree to build two concrete roads at the same time. "

Emperor Wende snorted coldly, "the imperial court promised the management right of the four seas for 40 years, and what other benefits would it bring. If you are someone else, you don't want to get involved in official roads, let alone set up toll booths and rest stations on official roads. "
