Is it a good thing to build roads?

A good thing, of course!

Does Li Shimin want the official roads in Datang to be spacious and flat?

Naturally, I want to.

In the construction of Daming Palace, a large amount of cement was used, and Li Shimin didn't know the benefits of these cement roads?

Of course he does.

But why didn't you dare to put forward the idea of converting the official road into a concrete road?

You must know that the Tang Dynasty was established by stepping on the corpse of the Sui Dynasty.

Emperor Wen of Sui is so eloquent, why did he completely ruin the country in the hands of Yang Guang in just a dozen years?

The three conquests of Goguryeo are certainly the most direct reason, but in Li Shimin's view, the demise of the Great Sui can be seen from the first year of Yang Guang's accession to the throne.

In the first year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang ordered the construction of the Eastern Capital, recruited 2 million people every month, and completed this huge project in ten months.

Then, Yang Guang ordered the construction of canals, dragon boats, and various palaces such as Xianren Palace, Jiangdu Palace, Linjiang Palace, Jinyang Palace, Xiyuan, etc., especially the construction of the Grand Canal, which mobilized millions of people.

You must know that the entire Great Sui is only a few tens of millions of people, which is a direct transfer of one-tenth of the population.

The construction period of these projects is short, and under the pressure of the cool officials layer by layer, the number of people who died on the construction site is simply an incalculable number.

Therefore, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has been very cautious about large-scale requisition of people.

Naturally, Li Shimin only dared to think about the idea of building a cement road in an all-round way.

"Kuan'er, this cement road, I naturally know that it is a good thing, but good things do not necessarily have good results. The Grand Canal of the former Sui, isn't it good? The Grand Canal connects the north and the south, making the circulation of people and materials convenient, which is naturally good, but ......"

Li Shimin listened to Li Kuan's words and thought for a while before speaking.

"Your Majesty, Weichen knows what you are worried about, in fact, why these big projects will lead to the demise of the Sui Dynasty, in the final analysis, is that Emperor Yang of Sui is too anxious and blindly presses regardless of the actual situation. However, our cement road can learn from the experience and lessons of the construction of the Grand Canal, and slowly try to do it, without requisitioning the people, so that there is no need to worry about causing changes in the people. ”

Li Kuan does not expect to complete the task assigned by the system this time, and if it can be completed in three years, it is fast, and five years is not slow.

"Slowly, I approve of it. But if you don't requisition people, then who will build the roads? Besides, the sand and gravel for road construction may not be valuable, but the cement can't be provided for free by your Chu Wangfu, right? ”

The bloody lessons of the former Sui were there, and Li Shimin did not dare to make a decision easily.

"There is a slave hunting team in Liangzhou, I don't know if Your Majesty knows about this matter?"

"Humph! I didn't mention it to you, but you're too embarrassed to take the initiative! For this matter, the impeachment of you is about to pile up, how can I not know? ”

Slave catchers, no matter what dynasty they are in, will not be a glorious profession.

For those saint disciples who pay attention to convincing people with reason, the practice of the slave hunting team is completely the way of the barbarians, and it is naturally unacceptable.

"Slave hunting, Your Majesty, since you are slaves, whether it is used to build cement sand and gravel workshops or lay cement roads, it is natural that you only need to take care of them and eat a mouthful. If Your Majesty is worried about the construction of the cement road, the impact is too great, you can start from Liangzhou City and build a cement road from Liangzhou to Chang'an. While repairing, look at the effect, see the impact of road construction, and then come to scale up. ”

Li Kuan didn't expect Li Shimin to start the reconstruction of the entire Tang Dynasty's official roads at the same time, if this was the case, it should be himself who stopped it.

Li Kuan still wants to be this comfortable prince, but he doesn't want the Tang Dynasty to fall into a situation like the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

"You mean to use the slaves captured by the slave trappers to build concrete roads?"

"This is part of the personnel, and the other part can use prisoners. Last year alone, there were tens of thousands of captives in Tuyuhun, and no matter where the imperial court placed them, it was a scourge, and they might rise up to rebel again. ”

Li Kuan felt that every time the Tang Dynasty fought abroad, it was a loss in terms of economic accounts, and even all the Central Plains dynasties faced this dilemma when they fought abroad.

In Li Kuan's view, the main reason is that he pays too much attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Li Kuan has no opinion at all about his people's benevolence, righteousness and morality, but for those Hu people and barbarians......

At the time of the Five Chaos of China, Hermes-Epitek was called the two-legged sheep.

In Li Kuan's view, anyone who is not a citizen of the Tang Dynasty is a walking animal that has not yet evolved into a human.

"Mistreating the prisoners will inevitably cause a lot of opposition from the DPRK and China, and it will also make the future conquest face stronger resistance."

After listening to Li Kuan's words, Li Shimin was a little moved, but he still had concerns.

"Your Majesty, Nanshan Construction Engineering has basically completed the construction of the Daming Palace, and tens of thousands of helpers will soon be idle and have nothing to do. With these tens of thousands of helpers, plus tens of thousands of Tuyuhun captives and the manpower captured by the slave capture team, the cement road from Liangzhou to Chang'an City will be built in a year or two. As for the opposition of the DPRK and China, let Nanshan Construction Engineering bear it. ”

No matter what infamy he would incur, Li Kuan was determined to persuade Li Shimin to agree to the construction of the cement road, otherwise, his task would not be expected to be completed.

If you can't complete the task, you will no longer be able to exchange items after using up the points in the system.

That would be equivalent to the eunuch's house falling Xi Shi and Diao Chan, who were in a hurry and couldn't move.

"Kuan'er, build a cement road and hand it over to Nanshan Construction Engineering, I am relieved. It's acceptable to ask the household to pay a certain fee, but if you want to make money by building roads, I can't accept it. ”

Li Shimin couldn't figure out why Li Kuan was so enthusiastic about doing such a thankless job.

If you succeed, it is Datang and the people along the road who will benefit.

failed, and it was he Li Kuan who suffered infamy.

What is he trying to do?

Could it be ......

Li Shimin suddenly chuckled in his heart, Kuan'er wouldn't have an idea that he shouldn't have, right?

"Your Majesty, don't worry, just one East China Sea fishery is enough for the ministers to live this life without worrying about food and clothing, and the construction of this cement road, the Chu Wangfu will definitely not earn a penny from it. Of course, Weichen doesn't do anything about advancing money. ”

Li Kuan didn't know if Li Shimin would have any other ideas in his heart, anyway, as long as he agreed, today's goal would be achieved.

"You step back first, and then I will discuss with the ministers and give you an answer in a few days."

Li Shimin has basically made a decision in his heart, but for such a major matter, he still wants to listen to Fang Xuanling's opinions.

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also a little worried.
