There was a bitterness in Fang Yi's love, and the days of his salted fish were gone.

He's not reconciled!

Why is my life so miserable!

I just want to eat and wait for death, why is it so difficult?

If he hears this kind of thought, and the civil and military officials know about it, I am afraid that he will be killed by spitting one by one.

It's so infuriating!

It is clear that he is in the blessing and does not know the blessing, how many people are envious of this, and he has been promoted to two ranks in a row in less than a year, and he has been named a viscount, what a blessing this is.

It can be said: Jane is in the heart of the emperor!

In particular, those who have been sitting on the cold bench for many years and have not been promoted until they are old, listening to his words, are eager to eat him alive and replace him......

Looking up to the sky and sighing: The same people, why is the gap so big!

It's also that Fang Yiai's love is too dazzling, but when it comes to merits, where are the same pieces of the same, people have nothing to say.

The most important point is that Fang Yiai is only how old he is now, and there is still a lot of room for promotion in the future.

Seeing the rise of the Fang family, it has been guaranteed to prosper within a hundred years.

……

Three days later.

Morning meeting.

"Lang Zhongfang of the Ministry of Works, responsible for the contracting of cement roads."

The order was issued, and Fang Yiai finally knew the reason for his promotion and asked him to preside over the road construction.

The cement road was proposed by him, and naturally no one knew better than him, so the task was assigned to him.

"I knew it was going to be like this...... The pit dug by himself has to be filled by himself, and this is not arranged again. Fang Yi's love was depressed, and the expression on his face also collapsed, and he suddenly felt that his life was full of darkness.

Li Shimin looked at him like an unlucky man, but he was happy in his heart, and then his face turned cold, and he snorted coldly in his heart, "If you want to be lazy under me, no way!" ”

However, Li Er was not happy for too long, and was discouraged by the courtiers......

As soon as his order was issued, someone walked out of the train and saluted, looking solemn, "Your Majesty must not!" ”

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Li Shimin has never concealed the matter of building cement roads.

The palace is all high-level officials of the imperial court, so they naturally have their own ways, and they understand what the so-called "contracting" refers to, that is, the cement road is distributed to the merchants to build, and they charge the road fee according to the standard.

The whole world has begun to collect tolls, and the interests of officials who have business at home will inevitably be harmed, and of course they must stand up against it.

In an instant, Li Shimin's face was stretched, and he had to listen patiently, "What objections does Aiqing have?" ”

"Your Majesty, businessmen are heavy on profit and thin righteousness, they have always been unprofitable and do not get up early, the official road is handed over to them to build, I am afraid that there will be cutting corners, the lifeblood of transportation in the official road, and the role of reprimanding the generals, there is no room for half a mistake, it is really inappropriate to hand it over to the merchants!"

Looking at his expression of worrying about the country and the people, I don't know, I still think how loyal he is, but it is just for his own interests.

"Your Majesty, please think twice! How could such an important place be in the hands of merchants! ”

"And the merchants are cunning, and they may take the opportunity to occupy the road to make money, and collect the road fees from ordinary people."

Last time, they talked about the passage fee, but they were rejected by Li Shiming, and they discussed it a lot these days, focusing on businessmen.

This kind of contracting is the first time, and most of them can be used as handles, and the "Shinong Industrialist" businessman has the lowest status and has a bad reputation in the eyes of the rulers, which is where the topic is played.

According to their ideas: the official road cannot be repaired by merchants, the imperial court does not have so much money for the time being, and it cannot start work in a short time, so it is better to drag it out like this.

"Alas!"

Fang Yiai sighed faintly, he was still waiting for these people to stop Li Shimin, and he could continue to make salted fish, but he didn't expect them to be so unhelpful.

The strategy is reasonable...... Pity! They met Fang Yiai, who opened and copied homework. He had ready-made models to draw on, and these questions had already been written into them when he proposed the contracting modality.

"Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to worry too much, the problems you said have already been taken into account."

Li Shimin said loudly: "The imperial court is not completely ignoring it, and will set up a quality inspection yamen accordingly, and if it is found that it is unqualified, its qualification will be cancelled." As for the oppression of the people, first, there will be a government official at the toll office, and second, there will be supervision in the place. ”

The ministers below were stunned, they had never heard of such a plan, and now all the plans came to naught.

Without waiting for them to react, Li Shimin made up for it again, "If Zhongqing thinks that this is not appropriate, how about you and others build it, I will not let Qing suffer a loss, take Luoyang Road as a reference, and make a profit in three or five years." ”

There was silence in the hall, and the few people standing in the middle didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being named by Li Shiming.

The so-called "official road contracting" is actually advanced by businessmen, and the merchants involved in this matter can get the title of a "good home" and enjoy the same rights as ordinary people.

The status of businessmen is low, they need the approval of the imperial court, and the richer the businessmen, the more they want to get rid of the shackles of status, so they will participate without hesitation.

You must know: In Datang, the family of Shangjia cannot participate in the imperial examination.

However, the court officials and the family of gate lords don't care about this title, although they won't lose money by building roads, the return on capital is too slow, so they don't want to do this.

With so much money, what to do with it is not faster than making money with this.

At this moment, someone walked out of the train again, "Your Majesty thinks that the current imperial court should focus on the autumn harvest, and it is not appropriate to discuss this matter, and postpone it to discuss it." ”

A cold light flashed in Li Er's eyes, and he sneered in his heart: "Why didn't Fang Cai say this!" ”

This person is clearly in the same group as them, this suggestion must be their strategy to delay the army, it is obviously a hastily conceived method, Li Shimin naturally will not allow it, and his face is getting colder and colder.

"Humph! A group of black sheep who only care about their own interests and do not think about the court at all! It's a shame for the imperial court......"

Li Shimin just thought about this in his heart, so naturally he wouldn't say it, he wouldn't have this city government at all, and the court still needs people to operate.

"Today's appointment is just to let Fang Yiai prepare in advance, so that after next year's spring ploughing, it can also delay a little time, not today, why not?"

"It's the minister's inconsiderate consideration, and I ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins."

At this time, these people had nothing to say, they could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes, and after being forgiven by Li Shimin, they returned to the train in a gloomy manner......

"Do you have anything to do?"

Li Shimin thought that this matter had passed, and it could be regarded as a retreat from the dynasty. Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, said abruptly: "Your Majesty, about the construction of cement roads, the minister has something to do!" ”

Li Shimin frowned, Hou Junji was his cronies, he never thought that he would come against him at this time, he would not fail to see the convenience of the cement road.

Of course, Li Er was not in a hurry to attack, and was going to listen patiently first, "Come on." ”
