This road crosses Jingyang, and you can go directly to the official road of Luoshui, reducing the time of winding and turning on the old official road.

The new road from Jingyang will be faster.

Li Shimin walked on this smooth road, and there were many pedestrians on this new road.

Fang Xuanling said while walking: "The five-kilometer road was repaired from last autumn to the beginning of spring this year, but it was quite fast. ”

Du Ruhui also walked all the way and said: "It is said that Li Zheng will build another five kilometers to connect several counties south of Chang'an. ”

The road here is the same as the road in Li Zheng's village, with an indescribable clay mixed with small pebbles.

These pebbles are a bit awkward to step on, but they are smooth and sturdy.

However, the color is a little different from the road in Jingyang Village, and the mud used is also different.

There are a lot of people walking on the road, and the wide road is more than 10 meters wide.

Li Shimin walked and said: "Why does Li Zheng divide the good road into four parts. ”

Fang Xuanling explained: "The minister has learned a little, according to Jingyang's statement, the two wide roads in the middle are used for driving horses, one in each direction of the back and forth, and the two sides are for pedestrians. ”

Li Shimin found out that there were still people patrolling this road.

Pedestrians who take the wrong path are advised to follow the normal direction.

Occasionally, horse-drawn carriages and fast horses gallop along the road.

Li Shimin looked at the open road with an uncertain expression, as if he understood something, and asked Du Ruhui, "Keming, what do you think of this road?" ”

Du Ruhui replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this road is very orderly, in the past, pedestrians in the carriage and horse crossing lane may not be able to avoid it, but now it seems that Li is splitting the road, and the road of the carriage road is separated from the pedestrian road." ”

"It's a great idea to make the road smoother and more orderly, and it's a lot of work to make, but it's also very useful when you look closely."

"There are roads for cars and horses, and there are roads for pedestrians, and these trees are used to separate them, so it will be very safe to walk here." Fang Xuanling also said.

Li Shimin couldn't stop nodding, Li Zheng even made guardrails on both sides of the road.

"It seems that Li Zheng spent a lot of money to build this road."

Du Ruhui nodded.

There are many people on this road who come to visit spring.

The first thing about this road is very luxurious.

The dilapidated official road cannot be compared with it at all.

There are also rows of large trees planted on both sides of the road, which are like decorations.

Li Zheng also named the road and erected a sign, and there was a sign where pedestrians walked called the sidewalk.

The middle road is also called the road.

"The road? The road to the horse? Li Shimin nodded appreciatively, "It's kind of interesting." ”

Trash cans can be seen on every stretch of the road, and the trash cans are written not to litter.

The roads are also cleaned regularly.

Neatill, clean, safe and comfortable, this is the feeling of Li Shimin walking on this road.

Li Zheng knows a lot of crafts and can make magic things like movable type printing and make thick paper.

Even the road construction is ingenious, Li Shimin summed it up, "It looks good and is easy to use." ”

In fact, Chang'an's Suzaku Avenue also has such a division, but there is no such neatness.

I've been walking for half an hour, and I don't feel tired.

Li Shimin completely holds a kind of visiting mentality.

I saw children on the side of the road watering trees and potted plants on the road.

Li Shimin stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The two children, who looked to be less than ten years old, were not afraid to live when they saw Li Shimin, "Watering? ”

"Who told you to water it?"

"The teacher asked us to water it, and today it's our turn."

"Your teacher?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"It's the county marquis."

Li Shimin nodded understandingly, and asked again: "Why did he let you water?" ”

"The teacher said that these trees should grow well and be planted."

Another child said: "The teacher also said that the soil in Chang'an is relatively soft and easy to be eroded, and planting trees can fix the soil, and if the soil is fixed, the road will not be easy to break." ”

"I see."

"The teacher said that the official road was not well cultivated at all, and the soil erosion was allowed to be repaired, and it was repaired in vain, and it will be rebuilt in a few years."

Hearing the children's complaints, Li Shimin's smile stiffened on his face.

Fang Xuanling also avoided his eyes and looked around.

Du Ruhui thought to herself, this is indeed the case.

Every time the road is repaired, it will be washed away by the rain, and the official road that has just been repaired will become potholes again, especially the mountain road is easy to collapse.

The root system of trees can hold the soil in place.

And it's simple.

It is also a very common truth.

Further on, the road diverged here, and there was an open field in front of me.

There are more people here, as if they are playing.

There were a lot of vendors on both sides of the road, Li Shimin looked at the bustle and said: "I didn't expect Li Zheng to also place shops here, I think this is the reason for the reduction of commercial taxes in Chang'an." ”

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and nodded.

"I really didn't expect Li Zheng to have such a thought." Li Shimin looked at the crowd here and sighed: "Just relying on these merchants, Jingyang's monthly commercial tax can be 3,000 yuan. ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Li Zheng's ability to accumulate wealth really has nothing to say. ”

Walking forward, Li Shimin asked a vendor who bought naan cakes, "This old brother, why did you sell naan cakes on the side of the road, isn't it easy to sell them in Chang'an?" ”

The old man who sold naan cakes said with a smile: "At first glance, you are a nobleman, how do you nobles know the days of our hawkers." ”

Li Shimin asked curiously: "How do you say this?" ”

The old brother smiled and said: "This Chang'an is indeed good at selling cakes, but the stall is too expensive, and the rent of the shop is very expensive." ”

Li Shimin looked at the lively entrance of Jingyang Village, "This should be the boundary of Jingyang, if you set up a stall here, Li Zheng won't take your money?" ”

The old brother smiled, "The county marquis is a good person, this Jingyang county marquis does not charge us rent money, as long as we use 10% of the income from our business as rent." ”

"One percent of the business?" Li Shimin said to himself, thinking about the profits.

The elder brother said: "Let's do business here depends on our ability, if your business is good, you will pay more, see if your business is not good, the county will not take more of our money, besides, you can sell cheaper here, and there are more customers." ”

After listening to what this old brother said, Li Shimin bought a piece of naan and listened to him say that he would come back next time.

Li Shimin came to the next stall, which was a stall selling books, and there were quite a lot of books on the stall.

I saw the Legend of the White Snake and the Dream of Red Mansions.

Li Shimin asked, "How much does it cost to read this book?" ”

"Ten cents a book, which one does this noble man like?" The bookseller smiled and said: "Recently, the book of the White Snake has been selling very well, do you want this noble man to take a look?" ”

Li Shimin had already read the legend of the White Snake, but after listening to the price of the book, he asked: "I remember that in Chang'an, such a book costs fifteen wen a copy." ”

The bookseller smiled and said: "The shop in Chang'an is expensive, it is cheap here, and it can also be cheaper when it is sold, so that there are many customers." ”

"Don't you want to earn more?" Li Shimin asked, "Why is it so cheap?" ”

The bookseller scratched his head, and when he saw another customer coming up from behind, he said, "This nobleman, do you want to buy it or not?" ”

Li Shimin saw a book on the shelf and asked, "What kind of book is that?" ”

"It's called a brain teaser."

"Can your brain still turn?" Li Shimin almost jumped up in shock on the spot.

Fang Xuanling also subconsciously helped his head.

"The nobleman will understand when he sees it." The bookseller smiled, and his smile was a little smug.

Li Shimin paid the money, and said to Fang Xuanling while reading the book: "Xuanling, I ask you." ”

"Your Majesty, may I ask."

Li Shimin looked at the book and asked in a low voice: "A cow, its head is facing west, where is its tail facing?" ”

"Facing east!" Fang Xuanling replied immediately.

Li Shimin said: "It's wrong, it's downward." ”

Fang Xuanling: "......"

Du Ruhui held his stomach and smiled for a long time, "It's not down." ”

Li Shimin looked at it for a while and said, "A pig, when can its tongue and tail touch together." ”

"Hey, this ......" Du Ruhui gasped and asked rhetorically, "Is this possible?"

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded very seriously.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were silent.

Li Shimin said again: "What is the strongest lock afraid of? ”

"Agni." Du Ruhui replied.

"Wrong." Li Shimin denied.

Fang Xuanling added: "It is said that it is the hardest lock, and real gold is not afraid of fire." ”

Du Ruhui beat his chest and paused, "How can there be such a strange topic." ”

Li Shimin handed the book in his hand to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

After looking at it for a long time, Fang Du and the others sighed: "Wonderful, there are so many interesting topics in this world, no wonder it's called a brain teaser, and I really can't figure out these topics in a general way, but I suddenly realized it in another way." ”

Li Shimin's eyes looked at this large clearing.

I counted more than 50 shops in total, and they were scattered and orderly.

From buying cloth to snacks, books, straw sandals, wood......

It seems that there is everything, what Chang'an has, all here.

When I came to a wine shop, there was a sign standing in front of the wine shop, and the five big characters of Chengjia Brewery were written.

Just tired of walking, come here to take a sip of wine.

The guy who picked up the guests stepped forward warmly to greet him, "Three guests, buy wine or food?" ”

"A jar of wine, three vegetarian dishes and a pot of mutton." Fang Xuanling said.

The little servant asked again, "Dare to ask the three guests who came on horseback?" ”

"What does this have to do with riding a horse?"

The little guy looked apologetic and pointed to a large wooden sign behind him.

Looking at the words on the wooden card, Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

Fang Xuanling was also surprised.

Du Ruhui read it out directly, "Don't get on the horse when you drink, don't drink when you get on the horse." ”

The little servant said: "Don't be surprised by the three guest officers, this is our rule here. ”

"Rules? It's the first time the old man has seen such strange rules. Li Shimin was obviously a little unhappy.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly said to the little guy: "We came on foot and went to the bar. ”

The little guy nodded and went to make arrangements.

Fang Xuanling looked around and said to Li Shimin: "I didn't expect Li Zheng to run this place very well. ”

Du Ruhui also nodded, "This road is also built chic." ”

Li Shimin said: "If you don't drink alcohol, you won't get on the horse, and you won't drink when you get on the horse." This must be the rule set by Li Zheng. ”

Knowing that Li Shimin was a little unhappy, Fang Xuanling also said: "If the official road is not cultivated like this in the future, it will be good." ”

Li Shimin took the wine handed by the servant and poured it down.

Du Ruhui whispered: "If you really build a road like this, how much will it cost to build the road." ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Now that there are so many border guards, the DPRK and China have to spend money everywhere, I'm afraid it's ......."

Li Shimin: Tons and tons of tons......

After pouring a sip of wine, Li Shimin burped.

The little guy's meals were also served, and Li Shimin asked, "The old man asked you, how much rent do you pay to Li Zheng in a month?" ”

The little guy thought for a while and said, "Our shopkeeper said three thousand a month." ”

"That's a lot."

"It's a lot, but we make 10,000 a month." Xiao Wu had a smile on his face, "It's still that our Cheng Xiaoye and the Hou of Jingyang County are brothers, and they gave this position, otherwise I'm afraid that we won't even be able to get a position, and this lot is in demand." ”

"10,000 a month." Du Ruhui sighed.

"It's not bad, the wine shop in Chang'an is estimated to be so much a month." Fang Xuanling said.

Drank wine and filled my stomach.

Li Shimin and Fang Du left here.

I found that there are even ice sellers here.

There are also those who sell chili peppers and vegetables.

There are also those who buy cotton clothes.

Even pork was taken out and sold.

And eggs......

Seeing this, Li Shimin gasped, and felt that Li Zheng had built this road and took out all his things and sold them.

Li Shimin secretly thought in his heart, Li Zheng is definitely earning, this kid will not do a loss-making business.

Secretly gritting his teeth, Li Shimin thought in his heart.

This Li Zheng kept talking about building roads, and it turned out that he was waiting here.

He knew that his roads were well built, and that as long as someone passed by, he would have a business to do, and he could sell what was in his village himself.

You don't have to go through other people's hands, let alone sell it in Chang'an.

The earth is his.

Man is also his.

The goods are also his.

As long as this road is always walked and passed, there will be a steady stream of business.

It's just that this road is still so well built!

He was thinking that the official road was in disrepair, and he took this opportunity to build a road himself to do business for him.

It's all about making money for him.

Li Shimin said to Fang Du and the others: "What kind of realm do you say Li Zheng's means of doing business? ”

Fang Xuanling sighed and said: "Li Zheng spent a lot of money on road repair, many people think that Li Zheng is only building roads, and ordinary people see roads as just roads, but in Li Zheng's hands, road construction is another opportunity to do business." ”

"With a long-term vision, people just see before the road is built, and what Li Zheng sees is that after the road is built, he doesn't know that there is one more road that can drive so much business, which others can't reach."

Du Ruhui also sighed, "I just counted, there are a total of 671 shops here, and there are many stalls along the way, in addition to the merchants who came out of Chang'an, more are the shops opened here by the villagers of Jingyang themselves, if Li Zheng spent 200,000 yuan on building the road, and the 30 taxes of the Tang Dynasty are calculated, all the merchants on this road will get 90,000 yuan a month, and Li Zheng will draw 9,000 yuan a month." ”

Fang Xuanling said again: "This account is not calculated like this, there are also things in Li Zheng's own village, and the cost of some things may be lower." ”
