Chapter 156: The Excited Family
The early dynasty started again, and Cheng Chubi followed Chai Lingyu in the direction of the palace, who was listless before, but now he is even more listless.
The bells and drums sounded in the morning, and there was no way to make Cheng Chubi wake up. Sitting cross-legged, but his eyes were blurred, since he came back from the inn, Cheng Chubi has not had a good day, and Chai Lingyu will be refreshed tomorrow.
Kong Yingda, who was not far away, nodded his head from time to time with his eyes slightly closed, obviously very sleepy, and some literati who were better with him were also drowsy at this time, without much energy at all, and I don't know if it was last night that he fought with his concubine for hundreds of rounds.
The people in the court generally argued endlessly, and there was no way to argue who was right and who was wrong.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play." At this time, a smile appeared on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister recently got a thing, and I invite Your Majesty to look at it." ”
"Yes." Li Shimin said with a slight smile.
Then I saw two Jinwuwei come in carrying something, one of which was a bag of powder, and the other was something that looked like a stone.
"Your Majesty, the name of this thing is cement, and when it is mixed with water, when it dries, it will become such a hard stone, which is most suitable for building roads. Your Majesty, many of the roads in the Tang Dynasty were built in the previous dynasties, but now decades have passed, and those roads are dilapidated, and the minister thinks that it is time to build some roads, build new roads from all over the country, and go directly to Chang'an City. The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile, and at this time, those family officials showed a faint smile on their faces one by one, and none of them were surprised.
Obviously, these guys already knew about the existence of these things, so none of them were surprised.
"Well, Zhao Guogong's thing is indeed good, but this road construction will cost a lot of money, and there is not much money in the treasury." Li Shimin sighed and said: "It takes countless manpower and material resources to build roads, isn't this suffering for the people again?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to give 700,000 yuan to help the court build a new road." Cui Gan stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to contribute 500,000 yuan to fund the construction of roads." Wang Jue smiled slightly, unwilling to be left behind.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to give 400,000 yuan."
"The minister is willing to pay 350,000 yuan."
“……”
This group of families has become extremely active this time, and when Cheng Chubi heard it, he thought that this group of families had become better and would think about the country and the people.
However, if you think about it carefully, how can you be so kind with the greed of the family? It is estimated that he was angry before, but now it is just a live performance, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but sigh, life is really like a play, and a play is like life.
"Okay, good, good, since you Aiqing are so sensible, then after the new road is built, the tax on the cost of this passage will be given to you." Li Shimin said with a slight smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Everyone shouted, their faces were full of joy, and they were already fantasizing about the endless wealth of their families.
Although it had been discussed before, but at this time, when they heard Li Shimin's promise, these people still seemed quite happy one by one.
"Your Majesty, no!" However, at this time, Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, by all means, by all means!" ”
"Your Majesty, how can the law of state power be given to private individuals? This is the government of a bad country, and it is absolutely unfeasible. If this precedent is set today, then in the future, the country will not be a country, and the people will not be a people, Your Majesty, this wind cannot be long, and this government cannot be opened. Wei Zheng said excitedly.
"Doctor Wei's words are wrong, this is benevolent government, building roads and bridges is moral politics, and it is a matter for the benefit of all people, but in the mouth of Doctor Wei, it has become a sign of the death of the country, dare to ask Doctor Wei, what is your intention?" An envoy stepped forward and asked.
"Doctor Wei, Your Majesty's benevolent government has become a sign of the death of the country in your mouth, dare to ask what is the intention of Doctor Wei?" Another envoy stood up and asked coldly.
"Doctor Wei first served the Prince Yin, and then served His Majesty, such a disloyal, unkind and unrighteous person, it has already been obvious what his intentions are."
"Wei Zheng, I originally thought you were a loyal person, but I didn't expect it to be so unbearable, I am ashamed of you!"
“……”
Wei Zheng just raised an objection, but a group of people immediately came up and scolded him for a while, this group of guys used to shout with Wei Zheng, but now it has become a-for-tat, I have to say that the literati of the family turned their faces, it is really faster than turning a book.
Wei Zheng was very aggrieved, quite aggrieved. I am not wrong at all, it is the emperor who is wrong, why have these guys become so unclear about right and wrong now?
Watching the performance of these guys, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel a little funny, but unfortunately, there is no melon seed bench now, otherwise it would be really interesting. At the same time, Cheng Chubi also knew a truth, don't offend the literati of the family, once the literati of the family calculate, they can say that the black can be said to be white.
After arguing for a while, no one could convince anyone, and Wei Zheng's face darkened even more.
He really couldn't understand why he didn't speak out to support himself this time, so he had always had the same political views as himself. The emperor's policy this time is clearly more harmful than beneficial.
"Your Majesty, the minister has been feeling dazzled in the market recently, and he can't see the words clearly, so he has come to ask for his resignation." An official of the Cui family stood up and said.
"That's right." Li Shimin smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, the minister is old and more and more powerless in political affairs, so I am here to ask for my resignation." Another official stepped forward, and it was an official of the Wang family.
"Your Majesty, please resign from the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and please ask Your Majesty for permission." An official of the Lu family stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, please resign from the post of Honglu Temple."
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown."
“……”
"I'm ready!" Li Shimin said loudly, with an extremely proud look on his face, he was simply very happy. Driving away some people and supporting their own people to grow into positions is Li Shimin's favorite thing to do.
This is the exchange of interests, Li Shimin gave these families the right to build roads and the right to select officials in new departments, and these families naturally have to pay some price.
These families are now rejoicing in their local right-of-way, but they don't know that this is a huge trap.
And Cheng Yanjin watched from the side, with a faint smile on his face, stroking his beard from time to time. This thing is done, and it seems that the efforts of these days have not been in vain.
The smile on Cheng Yanjin's face became even richer.
