Zhao Chen likes this kind of life, sitting in a bright room at night, making a cup of tea, listening to the music of the gramophone, or reading a book, or practicing calligraphy, even if he doesn't do anything, quietly in a daze, it is a good choice.

This kind of life is not only what Zhao Chen likes, but as His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Er also likes it, since Zhao Chen installed the electric light in the Ganlu Palace, the electric light has almost never been extinguished.

As long as Li Er was in the Manna Palace, the electric lights were always on, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.

In the past, Li Er, who needed to be served by the palace people for everything, was alone on the phonograph, never pretending to be someone else's hand, after a song, Li Er would personally walk to the gramophone, squeak and crunch the clockwork, and then, nodded with satisfaction, and returned to the back of the imperial case again.

Such a scene is not only in the palace and the Hou Mansion, but almost all in the homes of the nobles of Chang'an, and it is staged every day.

The emergence of new things has made the nobles flock to it, and now, if there is no electric light and gramophone in the noble family, it will be looked down upon by the people of Chang'an.

Gramophone and electric light have become the best-selling goods in Chang'an, and the nobles sent someone over, and a box of gold was sent to the Hou Mansion in exchange for the gramophone and electric light of the Zhao Mansion.

Copper coins, Zhao Chen doesn't want them here, a lot of copper coins are sent, and in the end they have to be sent to Li Chengqian, and it's useless to stay at home, so Zhao Chen asked them to exchange for gold, and it just so happens that gold can be recharged to the supermarket.

The princess's mansion is rising day by day, covering an area of dozens of acres, with pavilions and rockeries inside. Everything is available, compared to the Hou Mansion next to it. It's a difference between heaven and earth.

Nominally, it was funded by the royal family. In fact, it was Zhao Chen who was out, and the money that Zhao Chen had accumulated was like snow melting every day, rapidly melting, although he was complaining in his heart, he had to show a happy appearance on the surface.

It's not that he feels sorry for the money, but he feels that the money is a little worthless, just a princess's mansion. If it is handed over to him, or handed over to Li Chengqian, I am afraid that it will only take one-third of the money to build the princess's mansion beautifully.

This is a group of unprofessional people, who don't have a minimum budget, and from beginning to end, they don't know how to use their brains a little.

To build a hall is to build a hall, and never look at the side rooms behind. The hall was built, and all his energy was devoted to the wings, and as before, he did not look beyond the wings.

That is, Zhao Chen has a lot of money. It's enough for these brain-dead troubles, if you really let Li Er invest, it is estimated. A princess's mansion came out, and Li Er's private money. It's supposed to be empty.

Endure! Zhao Chen basically doesn't think about these things now, anyway, he will be his own in the future. If the money is spent, you can earn it back, and there is no need to find yourself unhappy for the sake of money.

Chang'an is changing little by little, quietly, others don't care too much, but Zhao Chen sees this change in his eyes little by little.

The people of Chang'an, who originally had their backs to the blue sky and faced the ground, were digging and eating in the loess year after year, but now, they got up early every morning, busily ate something, and rushed to various construction sites in Chang'an.

In addition to the two construction sites, Chang'an now has several kiln mines, cement factories, brick kilns, gypsum mines, glass mines, etc.

From the few mines jointly established by Zhao Chen and Qin Cheng at the beginning, to now, they have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and many have sprung up.

It was all funded by the nobles of Chang'an, and if there is money, everyone should earn it together, this is what the eldest grandson Wuji told her. What I told him, as the left servant of the Tang Empire, if Zhao Chen hadn't heard it with his own ears, it would be hard to believe that this kind of businessman-like words came from the mouth of the eldest grandson Wuji.

However, Zhao Chen also had to admit that what he said made sense, only when everyone made money together could we completely promote the progress of society.

Large enterprises drive small enterprises, and small enterprises are derived, many small workshops, which are the road of capital operation, and the wealth of a country is not driven by those large enterprises, but by those small enterprises or individual workshops under small enterprises.

One person gets rich, only one person is rich, and everyone gets rich together, that is the foundation of making the country rich!

Therefore, after the eldest grandson Wuji came to visit in person, Zhao Chen agreed to transfer technology, and as a result, the entire Xinfeng suffered, and the quiet and beautiful home in the past immediately became a place of black smoke and miasma.

Even if you stand in Chang'an City every day, you can see from a distance that there is always an indissoluble lead cloud floating in the sky of Xinfeng, that is, black smoke coming out of various factories and mines.

Chang'an has changed, from a slow-paced city in the past, it suddenly became a fast-paced city, and the idlers on the street disappeared.

Li Er is most happy to see such a scene, and the black smoke that Zhao Chen frowned and worried about, for Li Er, represents piles of money, no matter who opens a factory or mine, it is always indispensable to pay taxes to the treasury.

Since the ninth year of Wude, the treasury was looted by the Turks, and it has only been a little more than a year, and the treasury has been full again, so Li Er always looks like he has money and everything is enough.

I have money, so I want to change my living environment, and happily in front of hundreds of officials, I said that I want to build a palace again, Taiji Palace is low, and I freeze my hands and feet every winter, and I want to build a new palace in Longshouyuan.

Longshouyuan has a high terrain and an excellent location, just outside the Xuanwu Gate, Li Er has long taken a fancy to the place there, but he has been suffering from no money, and now he has money, so he thought about building a palace there.

As a result, as soon as Li Er's words came out, the court immediately condemned him, and they rushed one by one, as if they had finally seized the opportunity to show their faces, they reprimanded Li Er with tears in their eyes, and said a lot of truths, but they almost didn't say that Li Er was a loser.

In the past, Fang Xuanling and other Li Er's hardcores would definitely jump out to help Li Er, but now they are pretending to be deaf and dumb one by one, and Li Er has shown his eyes several times, but as a result, they simply lowered their heads one by one, pretending not to see Li Er's call for help.

It just so happened that there was a guy in Yushitai who was accidentally kicked and actually in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. Interrogated Li Er, the emperor is rich. Can you build a road to Chang'an, every time there is a heavy rain and snow. The road of Chang'an is impossible to walk at all.

Li Erqi's face darkened, but in the end he still had to agree, there was no way if he didn't agree, the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty were staring, you have money to build a palace, and you have no money to build roads, right?

As a result, Li Er had just agreed to pay for the road repair, and Wei Zheng jumped out again. talked about a lot of this year's drought, and later on, all the problems were summed up in the fact that Chang'an did not have a grain depot that could store a large amount of grain.

That's it!

Li Er gritted his teeth vigorously, and as soon as Wei Zheng's words fell, he immediately waved his hand and agreed to build a grain depot. The grain depot is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, Li Er agreed. The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu sang praises to Li Er, and praised Li Er as an enlightened king.

The palace was not built, but the money was spent, only to build roads and grain depots. It's not a small amount, and when he returned from the Taiji Palace, Li Erqi smashed a screen on the spot.

Zhao Chen did not go to the court. These things were told to him by Li Chengqian later, and Zhao Chen secretly sighed when he heard it. It's not easy to be an emperor, it's just a palace to build. As a result, he was almost drowned by the spitting stars of the courtiers.

Regardless, whether it is to build a road or build a grain depot, Zhao Chen is in favor of raising his hands and feet, the road in Chang'an should indeed be repaired, the loess is mated, the sunny day is fine, if it is windy and rainy, it is basically over.

Last time, a rainstorm made Chang'an's street grounded, to now, are all potholes, now, with cement masonry, it is time to build all the Vermilion Bird Street into a cement road, no longer afraid of wind and rain.

The most important thing is that in this way, Chang'an has two more big projects, and a lot of idle labor has been used at once, so why not do it in one fell swoop!

And when the court was arguing about the construction of roads and grain depots, Hu Lu, who had left Chang'an since the beginning of the year, also rushed back from other places.

This trip to Hu Lu is very responsible, and the promotion of high-yield grain and new agricultural tools is almost all done by Hu Lu alone.

These things, if they are only done by those adults in the court, Zhao Chenjue's will be fully promoted, and it is estimated that it will be the Year of the Ox.

The harvest is huge, Hu Lu's business methods, so that he spent a few months, the grain and farm tools, to promote to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, and now, it is the middle of June, the grain in the Jianghuai area, is not far from maturity.

Next, there are Heluo, Lingnan Road and Guanlong Road, and when the wheat in these places is all ripe, it is time to transport it to Chang'an.

It's just a drought, Zhao Chen doesn't believe it, under such a pronged approach, how can they still be affected by a drought?

The drought in the history books of Zhenguan in the second year, resulting in the Guanzhong area, no harvest, in the autumn, the whole Guanzhong Road is a miserable situation, the people for life, buy sons and daughters, Li Er's family, had to tighten their belts, empty the money of the inner house, and continue to help.

It's just that now that there is Zhao Chen, because of the unexpected appearance, these tragedies will no longer appear in the history books.

How nice!

"The next thing, we can get out!" In the dining hall of Zhao's mansion, Zhao Chen looked at Hu Lu on the opposite side and gobbled up, smoked a cigarette leisurely, and said slowly.

"Understood!" Hu Lu, who was eating with his head down, heard Zhao Chen's words, and said without raising his head.

Next, it is to transport grain for disaster relief, which has already been mixed once, and if it is mixed in again, it is sick.

Anyway, everything that should be done has been done, and the next thing is to transport grain, Zhao Chen doesn't believe it, the adults in the court, this thing can't be done well.

"When you finish eating first, let's figure out how to get rich next!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he suddenly looked at Hu Lu and said a little helplessly.

"Master Hou is short of money?" Hu Lu, who was eating, raised his head in surprise when he heard Zhao Chen's words, and asked in disbelief.

Zhao Chen didn't speak, but just pointed to the princess's mansion under construction across the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and smiled helplessly at Hu Lu: "Do you expect them to save money?" ”

When Hu Lu heard this, the expression on his face was slightly stunned, and then he immediately buried his head in the rice bowl and gobbled it up.

This guy, who has been out for a few months this time, has really suffered a lot, and his whole person has lost a lot of weight, and his image is poor, and he has the appearance of the richest man in Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
