Chapter 206 Peace and power

Hearing Li Xiaojiu's generous promise, An He was overjoyed, when he burned the cement, he already had a vague plan in his heart, and after careful consideration in the past few days, a rather huge plan has appeared in his hands, if this plan can be successful, then it will not only have an extremely important impact on the entire Datang, but also can unite a large number of people tightly around him with interest groups, and greatly increase the strength of his own government. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info However, there is a very critical prerequisite for this plan, and it is just a good opportunity to have Li Xiaojiu's nod, and now is a good opportunity to put it forward.

"Your Majesty!"

An He changed his previous lazy appearance and stepped forward to say seriously

, "As a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, the minister should solve problems for the country and share worries for the emperor, and the three strategies of cement and peace and liao are just doing their part, where can they use rewards?" ā€

Modest! Be humble! Although I want it very much in my heart, I must prevaricate on my face, which is the philosophy of the Chinese.

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you will be punished, I have always had clear rewards and punishments, An Aiqing, since you have made such a great achievement, how can you not be rewarded? So don't shirk it. ā€

Li Xiaojiu is very satisfied with his son's attitude, it is really rare to be able to win without arrogance and defeat at a young age.

"This ......"

An He deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then continued,

"If the emperor really wants a reward, the minister dares to ask the emperor for something."

"Oh, what do you want?" Li Xiaojiu is now smiling.

Winning or losing in this move, An He secretly gritted his teeth, and then said:

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to take charge of all the affairs of cement!"

"Uh~"

Li Xiaojiu was stunned, he didn't expect An He to make such a request? The surrounding civil and military ministers also looked at An He with puzzled eyes, not understanding what he was thinking?

Although Anhe was the inventor of cement, since he had already dedicated cement to the imperial court, the Ministry of Industry should come forward in the future and begin to organize craftsmen to establish workshops, and the cement produced was used for road construction. Of course, if there is a surplus in production, some will also be sold for civilian use. In addition to being more complicated, these things are nothing special, why did An He take on such a boring thing?

"Your Majesty. The reason why the minister wants to take charge of the cement affairs is not for his own selfish interests, but to better promote the cement, and at the same time to let the court have more income and reduce the cost of road construction. ā€

An He looked at Li Xiaojiu and was silent. Hurriedly continued.

"Oh? Can it also reduce the cost of building roads? ā€

Li Xiaojiu said strangely, he is not reluctant, but the production and operation of cement is very complicated, people without relevant experience, can not figure out the clue at all, although Anhe is very smart, but after all, he is too young, Li Xiaojiu can hardly believe that he can do cement affairs well.

"Your Majesty, if you hand over all the affairs of cement to the ministers, don't talk about anything else for the time being. The minister can guarantee that he will be able to pay at least 100,000 yuan to the national treasury every year. And the minister dared to promise the emperor that if it didn't reach 100,000 yuan, then the minister would make up the money even if he paid out of his own pocket. ā€

An He said anxiously, the operation of this cement is related to the implementation of his future plan, so even if he loses money, he has to take care of the matter.

"Good! It's rare for you to have such determination, cement was invented by you, and it's okay to leave it to you to operate, but cement is related to road construction. So you have to promise me that you must not delay the construction of the road. ā€

Li Xiaojiu didn't care much about handing over money or something, as long as he could not delay the road construction. It's the same for anyone, of course, he has a little selfishness, and wants to see what else An He can do to surprise him?

An He saw that Li Xiaojiu agreed, and was overjoyed at the moment, and said loudly with a deep salute:

"Thank the emperor, the ministers will live up to the emperor's trust!"

The big thing has been decided. An He seems to see that there is a group of powerful people united around him, and I will not move if I am left unmoved, no matter who becomes the emperor at that time, there is no way to take myself, a powerful rich man.

Although Zhang Xingcheng and other important ministers felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to hand over such an important matter to An He, but seeing that Li Xiaojiu had agreed, An He's performance these days was often unexpected, so they weighed it left and right, and they didn't object.

After the meeting ended, An He was left alone by Li Xiaojiu, and asked him in detail with great concern how he planned to operate the cement? An He did not hide it, and explained his thoughts to Li Xiaojiu, some of which still needed Li Xiaojiu's support. Li Xiaojiu was first shocked by An He's idea, then puzzled, and finally greatly admired, and said on the spot that he would give Anhe the greatest support if he let An He do it with all his might.

It was already noon when An He returned to Anfu, and Li Jingye, Cheng Boxian and others, who were hangover at his house yesterday, had already left in the morning.

An He had something in his heart, and after eating something hastily, he locked himself in the study alone and didn't come out, so Yu Chi Amin, Qingyun, and Jin Feng thought that something had happened to An He, and they hurriedly walked around outside the study, but they didn't dare to go in.

It wasn't until it was dark at night that An He came out of the study with a tired face, his eyes filled with a strange excitement, and he spent an afternoon supplementing the details of the previous plan to ensure that the subsequent implementation could go smoothly.

"Husband, are you alright?"

Seeing An He come out, Yu Chi Amin hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Hahaha~, what's the matter with Anhe?"

Although he was very tired, An He was in a good mood, laughed and raised the plan written in his hand, and then said:

"Qingyun, your handwriting is good, after dinner in a while, help me transcribe this thing, if you don't understand it, come and ask me directly."

Although he learned a lot of traditional Chinese characters during this time, and the brush was barely able to use, he was still far from writing alone.

"Qingyun obeys!"

Seeing that An He's mood was so high, Amin and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Chi Amin poured a cup of tea for An He, brought it to him, and said softly:

"Husband, please have tea."

An He's heart fluttered by Yu Chi Amin's soft voice, if it weren't for Qingyun and Jin Feng, maybe he would have had a good time with Yu Chi Amin again, but he was really happy today, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and laugh on Yu Chi Amin's little face:

"Amin is so good, your husband is going to make a fortune! Hahahaha~"

After saying that, he laughed and left. Yu Chi Amin was flushed by An He's intimate actions, and he didn't pay attention to what An He said. The two girls, Qingyun and Jin Feng, looked at An He's departing back, their faces were full of puzzlement, and after a long time, they said to themselves:

"What kind of madness will An Zhonglang have today, now that he is so rich, how much wealth is called a big fortune?"

Early the next morning, An He got up in a hurry, today he was going to participate in the morning dynasty, and then Li Xiaojiu would issue a holy decree and officially entrust him with the cement matter.

After breakfast, An He took the carriage and entered the palace with those civil and military officials. (To be continued.) )
