Chapter 66: I am ashamed of myself

"Wei Zheng, do you have any brain problems? Donate money, you can think of it. I want them to pay willingly this time."

"Donate? I need them to donate? They are worthy of it?" Li Shimin stood up, carried his hands on his back, and looked extremely confident.

Wei Zheng, who was already ready to slander people, couldn't speak for a moment.

He never expected that His Majesty the Emperor would be so confident.

Moreover, the money for road construction was not donated by those merchants and aristocratic families.

So how do you build this road?

In the imperial study room, the crowd was in an awkward atmosphere.

Even if they want to break their heads, they can't think of what method they can do.

One by one, lowering his head and not talking.

Li Shimin stood above and sighed slightly in his heart.

I thought they were their own ministers, and they were even less than Zhao Chen, a young man.

"I plan to cooperate with those merchants and families to build roads together." Li Shimin said slowly.

Everyone looked up, but they didn't understand what His Majesty the Emperor meant.

"I plan to ask the merchants and families to pay for the road to build my own roads. As a reward, I will allow them to collect taxes on the carriages, carriages and horses passing through the road, with a time limit of ten years."

"Ten years later, this road will be completely owned by our official Tang Dynasty."

"In the past ten years, these merchants have been doing the maintenance of roads. Even the aristocratic families pay, I will not pay a penny." Li Shimin slowly said to the ministers.

These are the methods Zhao Chen and Li Shimin said.

Simply put, it is to charge the traffic tax for ten years to the merchants who paid for the road construction and the aristocratic families.

Of course, the pricing of these taxes still requires discussion from multiple parties.

Moreover, ordinary people walking do not have to pay money.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this... is this really what Your Majesty thought of?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin, his voice trembling slightly.

His Majesty the Emperor is indeed very good at leading troops to fight, and it is also a matter of law to deal with political affairs.

But Fang Xuanling didn't believe such a strange idea at all.

Based on his understanding of His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor does not know much more about people's livelihood than him?

How could I have thought of such a way?

Changsun Wuji thrust hard, but he could not have imagined that the method that His Majesty the Emperor said was like this.

Although some taxes were given up, the government could no longer worry about the maintenance of Chang'an City roads.

Moreover, the tax on carriages and horses was also discussed together.

As the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City has countless caravans entering and leaving the city every day. If it really charges tax on carriages and horses, it will be a considerable income.

In ten years, you can recover the cost and get a lot of benefits.

More importantly, this is a cooperation with His Majesty the Emperor.

It's a huge face if it spreads out.

If this matter really spreads, those who are willing to cooperate will definitely flock to it.

Wei Zheng drooled hard twice.

He looked at His Majesty the Emperor and swallowed the words he was about to slander people.

"Why, I can't come up with such a good way?" Li Shimin's expression was a little unhappy.

I secretly thought that I was so unbearable in the hearts of these ministers?

What does he really think of?

Can't you trust him like this?

"I don't mean that!" Fang Xuanling said quickly.

"Hmph, this method is indeed not what I thought of. I just left the palace to meet the master, and the master said it to me." Li Shimin snorted coldly, but admitted that this method was not what he thought of.

"It's that master again!" Fang Xuanling's face stagnated, his eyes were shocked.

Last time it was the curved plow and the trolley, and now it is the way to build roads again.

This person is really amazing.

"Your Majesty, this man is so good that he should invite him to the court and give advice to our Tang Dynasty country. This man is a talented man, and I am ashamed of his own inferiority!"

"If this person comes, I would like to give him the position of Pushe." Fang Xuanling said excitedly.

"Haha, Fang Qing is right. That person is indeed a talented person, but he is still slightly inferior to Fang Qing."

"It's just that the master is not willing to enter the court. I will talk to him again when I have the chance in the future." Li Shimin said with a smile.

He was very happy.

Who is Fang Xuanling? That is Li Shimin's right-hand man.

Zhao Chen, a young man, could get such an evaluation from Fang Xuanling. If he grows up for a while in the future, he will definitely be far superior to Fang Xuanling.

Thinking about it, Li Shimin felt very excited.

Changsun Wuji stumbled twice, wanting to ask who the master in the emperor's mouth was.

If this person could be under Li Chengqian's command, coupled with his Changsun Wuji's help, it would be Li Chengqian's help in the future.

However, Changsun Wuji still held back this sentence.

His Majesty the Emperor said before that he would not tell others about his status as an expert.

Moreover, before Li Chengqian, the relationship between Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian had been fully revealed in front of His Emperor.

If you ask these questions yourself, can Your Majesty the Emperor still not understand?

Wei Zheng and others didn't say anything, but they were all curious about who the master in His Majesty the Emperor's mouth was?

...

"Guanyin Bi, you don't know. You were in the imperial study room, Fang Xuanling and others, but you were really shocked by my words."

"Looking at them all opening their mouths, I felt a little happy."

"From the future, they will be one by one, but I can't even accept the words. Today, they will be so obedient in front of me."

Li Shimin happily came to Lizheng Hall and talked to Empress Changsun about the matter about the imperial study just now.

Empress Changsun's beautiful eyes flashed and she felt secretly happy.

Zhao Chen's ideas have far surpassed their knowledge.

Many times they don’t understand what they say.

But if you think about it for a moment, you will find it extremely incredible.

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun felt both happy and heartbroken.

After sixteen years, what has Zhao Chen experienced so much?

"Your Majesty really wants to cooperate with merchants and aristocratic families?" Queen Changsun said softly.

The emperor wanted to build a noble family and looked down on businessmen. Isn’t it against His Majesty’s own ideas when he cooperated with them?

"Zhao Chen said something very well, saying that if you don't have diamonds, don't take care of porcelain work."

"Although I don't understand what this diamond is, it makes sense to think about it."

"I have controlled the Tang Dynasty for nine years. Although I have achieved many achievements, the aristocratic family is deeply rooted, and I cannot take them down in one day."

"You can only take this kind of thing slowly, and wait until I accumulate enough strength..." Li Shimin said slowly.

Li Shimin really wanted to eliminate the influence of the aristocratic family on the court, but he also knew that this was not something that happened overnight.

"If I can't complete it, I will hand it over to Zhao Chen in the future. He is better than me and I will definitely do it." Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't say such words. It is a blessing that the people of the Tang Dynasty can have such a wise king as Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty Qianqiu can definitely witness the dissipation of the aristocratic family with your own eyes." Empress Changsun comforted.

She found that His Majesty the Emperor today seemed to be very sad.

"Guanyin maid, I..."
