Sandalwood curls and the air seems somewhat quiet.

"What is cement?"

After a long time, Li Shimin spoke. Because he found that he didn't speak, Cheng Chubi didn't speak, and he even squinted his eyes to sleep.

The whole Datang dares to treat itself with this attitude, that is, this guy!

"Back to Your Majesty, cement is made of lime and clay, which can be used to build houses, roads, cities and all kinds of construction, after the cement is dry, it is as hard as stone, and it is best to harden the ground, and this thing cannot be damaged even if it rains heavily, it is very resistant to rain corrosion." Cheng Chubi explained.

"How much does it cost?" Li Shimin asked.

"It's cheap, less than a ton of money." Cheng Chubi didn't deceive people, because the limestone and clay in this era basically didn't cost money, and they dug it when they found a place, and then there was charcoal, and Chang'an City was not far from the coal mountain, and all that was consumed was just a few slaves.

"It's a good thing." Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "My palace has been repaired for a long time. ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Cheng Chubi almost squirted out a mouthful ......of tea, and said if he wanted me to help you build the palace, why hide it?

"Your Majesty, it's not impossible to use a large area, but this manpower and material resources also cost a lot of money." Cheng Chubi said with a smile, just kidding, let me pay for you to build a palace?

"Tiles?"

"This thing is precious, Your Majesty, if it's okay to post it indoors, you won't need it outdoors." Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, are you rich?" ”

"Hmph, I'm rich all over the world!" Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Chubi proudly.

"Your Majesty, this requires a lot of burning cement, a lot of lime, a lot of clay and a lot of gypsum powder, and burned coal, this is all money, Your Majesty, it's okay to make a small fuss, it's too wasteful to use a large area." Cheng Chubi said.

"The whole world is mine, is it possible to miss your raw materials?" Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "I not only want to build the palace with cement, but also build the city wall and build the avenue!" ”

However, after a few seconds, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Oh, but, but I don't have much money in my treasury!" The wealth of the Tang Dynasty is in the hands of the family, hey! ”

Yes, the emperor is also poor! You kid look at it!

"Forget about building the wall, right? The city wall has existed for a long time, and now it has been demolished and rebuilt, what a waste, just smear a layer of cement on the outside. Cheng Chubi's brows furrowed slightly, and suddenly, he thought of an idea, but he didn't know whether he should tell Li Shimin or not.

After a few minutes, he spoke, "Actually, this avenue is very good." You can save money and make money at the same time. ”

"Huh? Do you have a way? Princess Gaoyang next to her couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "If you can take the opportunity to attack the family, it will be even better." ”

"Naturally, there is a way, but Your Majesty has to promise me first, this cement can only be produced by my family!" Cheng Chubi waved his hand and let the maids inside go out.

Li Shimin hurriedly signaled to the attendants next to him, and walked out with his son and Li Zhi, it is better not to let them contact so early on some intriguing matters.

"Yes, I promise you!" Li Shimin glared at Cheng Chubi and said, "Don't come quickly!" ”

"Hehe, this avenue is built, as long as the family is brought in." A wicked smile appeared on Cheng Chubi's face.

"Huh?" Li Shimin is puzzled, this family participates? Will the Maison get involved?

"Let the family participate in it, a family is responsible for the official roads of a county, and then give them the right to pay road taxes for a few years, just afraid that these families will rush in like a hornet." The sinister smile on Cheng Chubi's face became even more gloomy.

"What is a road tax?" Li Shimin couldn't help asking.

"It is the tax on the road, after the road is hardened with cement, the merchant must pay the road tax, such as 10,000 yuan of goods, and take the same money as the road tax." Cheng explained, "Taxes are charged according to the value of the goods. ”

"Doesn't this give the family one more way to get rich?" Li Shimin's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Your Majesty, who is the biggest businessman in the world?" Cheng Chubi asked rhetorically.

"Five surnames, seven wangs and the family!" Li Shimin said.

"People don't suffer from poverty but suffer from unevenness, today the Wang family has collected more taxes from the Cui family, tomorrow the Lu family has collected more taxes from the Wang family, and the day after tomorrow the Li family has collected more road taxes from the Cui family. The smile on Cheng Chubi's face became even stronger, and there was one sentence he hadn't said yet, that is: You all have to buy my cement then, hahaha......

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chubi like a monster, his brows furrowed tightly, the people of the Cheng family really looked stupid, in fact, one was more shrewd than the other.

"A good person does not suffer from poverty but suffers from unevenness, come on, canonize Dugu Lan Ruo as Mrs. Sanpin Haoming, and Changsun Yao as Mrs. Sanpin Haoming!" Li Shimin said happily, Cheng Chubi was forced to look at it, what is going on? What does the idea that Lao Tzu came up with have to do with them?

"Come on, bring the things over!" Li Shimin said happily.

"Yes!"

A group of guards carried the cages out one by one and lined them up in the open space in front of the hall, looking at the pandas in the cages, Cheng Chubi suddenly had some doubts.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Cheng Chubi walked out of the room and couldn't help asking.

"It was given to you." Li Shimin waved his hand, looking quite bold.

"No, no, no, just three, the minister doesn't need so many." Cheng Chubi hurriedly waved his hand, what are you kidding, can this thing be raised casually? Even if you want to raise them, you can also raise those small ones, which are already adults, and I don't know if something will happen if you raise them. Don't look at these guys chubby, they're actually quite fierce.

Don't take pandas for bears.

"You did a good job of this, I know that you like to raise animals, so celebrities have captured some of them, and not only that, but I have also given you my beast garden." Li Shimin seemed quite happy, he was just here to take a look, but he didn't expect to get such a piece of good news.

Great, really great!

When Cheng Chubi heard Li Shimin's words, he was stunned.

What? Will you give me the beast garden? What is the Beast Garden? Could it be the legendary Royal Zoo? Thinking about it, Cheng Chubi is very happy in his heart, and I don't know if there are bears in the beast garden, if there is, taste the taste of the legendary bear paw tonight, well, if there is a tiger, it would be better, just get some tiger whip wine.

"What is this?" Li Shimin wandered around the Xinping Princess Mansion in Cheng Chubi.

"It's a faucet."

"How to use?"

"So."

"Okay, I should have this in my palace!"
