Chapter 287: Follow in His Footsteps (Add more to the monthly pass, and start with the eighth watch)
Mingde Gate is the main gate of Chang'an City, out of the city gate, is a wide avenue of more than 100 steps leading to the distance.
Today, the cement road from Chang'an to Liangzhou will be built from here.
The sky was still bright, and the people of Nanshan Construction came here.
Those who carry gravel, those who carry sand, those who carry water, those who carry cement, those who level the ground......
In this construction site alone, thousands of people are working at the same time.
Of course, although the road of more than 100 steps is very wide, if thousands of people are crowded here at the same time, it will not be able to be used.
So in fact, the construction site was divided into one mile and one mile, and those who were really at the gate of Mingde were thousands of people.
"Second brother, did His Royal Highness the King of Chu really agree to build such a long cement road?"
The two brothers, Yan Liben and Yan Lide, went out of the city early in the morning to check the situation.
As the two people in Datang who know the most about construction technology, this time the cement road construction, Li Shimin or Li Kuan, did not look for them.
However, as the master of the Ministry of Industry and the master craftsman, the two of them are still very concerned about this huge project.
"There are already thousands of people working here, and I heard that more than 10,000 people went in the direction of Liangzhou yesterday, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is serious."
Yan Liben has dealt with Li Kuan a lot in the past two years, and he still has a clear understanding of his temperament.
Although there are many people in Chang'an City who doubt that Nanshan Construction Engineering will not be able to build this road in the end, Yan Liben has a different opinion.
"First Daming Palace, then the road from Chang'an to Liangzhou, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is also preparing to build a cement road from Chang'an to Luoyang, as well as to Dengzhou and Taiyuan, if this is really completed, the significance to Datang will be too great."
As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Yan Lide naturally understands more about the importance of road construction than ordinary people.
"Let's look at the movement behind, as long as the road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou can be successful, the rest is not a problem."
"Yes. Some people in the court impeached His Royal Highness the King of Chu for conniving at the bad behavior of the Liangzhou slave catcher, in my opinion, as long as it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the means are excessive, what does it matter? ”
Although this road is not Yan Lide's major, but after all, it was completed during his tenure, if you really want to talk about it, there should be a name of your own in the history books, right?
……
The Nanshan construction workers of the Chu Wangfu were responsible for the construction of the cement road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou, and the imperial court did not pay a penny.
The news quickly made headlines in Chang'an City.
Yang Benman felt a little better in his heart.
His own more than 5,000 catties of tea cakes were only sold for more than 1,000 yuan, which was simply a loss of money, which directly made the Yang family hurt their muscles and bones, and the money they earned for several years was lost.
Originally, Yang Benman was worried about this matter.
However, when he heard that the Chu Wangfu turned around and fell into a huge pit, his mood was inexplicably better.
"Yang Dong, did you say that the King of Chu made a huge splash at the beginning, and in the end he only built a cement road near Chang'an City, and the rest was gone?"
Yang Benman drank ginger tea made from his own tea cakes and looked at the new book "Tea Ceremony" that he had just bought from Xinhua Bookstore.
"Ah Lang, theoretically, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but the momentum of this cement road construction is so strong, even if His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants to stop, it is estimated that he can not calculate it if he says it."
"It's also said, if he dares to give up halfway, see if I don't impeach him to death!"
Yang Benman thought of his more than 5,000 catties of tea cakes, and his heart began to hurt again.
The most uncomfortable thing is that in the end, except for Wang Fugui, no one wants his own tea cakes.
Only cut meat!
Or cut off the meat and feed it to the enemy!
Yang Benman felt that he was distressed and couldn't breathe!
……
In Diandude, Chen Jin and Liu Wenfei rarely got together again in Chang'an City.
In the past two years, their business focus has slowly shifted to Dengzhou Mansion, and at the end of the year, they have stayed in Dengzhou longer than Chang'an City.
"Brother Chen, if the cement road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou can be repaired, then your family's silk business is promising."
Liu Wenfei and Chen Jin have known each other for many years, and they know each other well.
Although Chen Jin also has some other businesses in Dengzhou, his main business has always been silk, after all, his hometown is in Suzhou, and silk is the ancestral business of the Chen family.
"Not only is the silk business promising, but I think that everything that is missing in the grassland will usher in new opportunities. The concrete road is extremely flat, whether you are riding a horse or driving a carriage, the speed is at least twice as fast as usual, and if it is compared to the rainy and muddy weather, it is even faster I don't know how many times. ”
Liu Wenfei's vision is naturally not bad, and he saw the opportunities contained in this road at once.
In fact, in Chang'an City, the merchants in the east and west cities are looking forward to this cement road the most.
"In fact, the most important thing is that with this cement road, not only is it faster, but the carriage can also transport more goods, which means that the loss on the road is also reduced."
Chen Jin seemed to see a road full of golden light, leading to Liangzhou.
Liu Wenfei: "Yes, in a few days, I plan to go to Liangzhou, and I will buy a shop there first, which can be regarded as exploring the way." ”
Chen Jin: "That's what I mean, why don't we go together?" ”
……
The eldest grandson's family.
The eldest grandson Wuji is conducting routine training for the eldest grandson Chong.
"Chong'er, do you know why my father asked people to go to the suburbs of Chang'an City to buy land during this time?"
The eldest grandson Wuji is generally quite satisfied with this son, but compared with when he was young, he is still a lot worse.
What a pity!
"Aye, I was about to ask this question. Those lands are very remote, and they are not good land, so it seems to be useless to buy them back, and they occupy tens of thousands of dollars for no reason. ”
"To tell you the truth, I don't know what the use of being a father is now." The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, feeling a kind of urgency that his IQ was not enough, "However, I still arranged for someone to buy it." ”
"Why? The child heard that the various shops in the house have not been operating very well in recent years, although they will not lose money, but they have not made much money. ”
Although Eldest Sun Chong's business acumen is very ordinary, as the future head of the Eldest Sun family, Eldest Sun Wuji still arranged for him to learn everything.
"Because the Chu Wangfu wants a lot of wasteland on the outskirts of Chang'an City!"
"Huh?"
Changsun Chong thought he had misheard.
"Ayah, this ...... What does this Chu Wangfu have to do with our family? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but sigh when he saw that his son hadn't understood his intentions until now.
If Li Kuan was half shrewd, no, half and half would be fine, he wouldn't have to be so tired all day.
"Because in Chang'an City, no one has been able to make money better than Li Kuan in recent years. But whoever follows his footsteps has made money! ”
Although this reason made the eldest grandson Wuji feel a little difficult to say, but in front of his son, he said it.
