After being slightly stunned, the hundred officials bowed in unison and responded, "Okay." If such a road is not good, it is difficult to become a dirt road, think about it, you also know the road, such an appearance, whether it is rain or snow, walk on it, do not worry about the situation such as the vehicle sinking into the pit.

At this time, Fang Xuanling remembered something, and then said with a smile, "Your Majesty, if this road is built to the border pass, once there is a war, then my Datang can send troops quickly, and this road is very good." ”。

Li Shimin smiled, then nodded, and said, "The prince has mentioned this matter a long time ago, and now it seems that this highway really needs to be repaired, not only to be repaired, but also to be overhauled and specially repaired." ”。

"Your Majesty, if this is overhauled, it should cost a lot, right?" Kong Yingda stepped forward and bowed at this time and asked.

Li Shimin coughed several times when he heard this, then looked in the direction of the hospital, and said a little strangely, "Hey, why hasn't Yunfei come back yet." ”。

Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson, Wuji, Cheng bit Jin Kong Yingda, Minister Chai Shao, you look at me, I look at you, all of them were stunned, and then reacted to what Li Shimin was thinking, and one by one couldn't help but quickly turn his head, not daring to look at Li Shimin, for fear of laughing, this is not clear, Li Shimin is preparing to be an iron rooster, and he will not pull out a hair.

Empress Eldest Sun came to Li Shimin's side at this time and looked in the direction of the hospital, and sighed faintly, "Your Majesty, Yunfei saved the life of the concubine again." ”。

Li Shimin naturally didn't hear the meaning of Empress Changsun, and after nodding, he said solemnly, "I won't be stingy, when Yunfei comes, I will ask him, I will give him whatever he wants." ”。

Empress Eldest Sun smiled slightly, then nodded. Then he looked at Qin Yu's blood that was still stained on the hem of his clothes, and he didn't know what to think for a while.

As soon as the tea was over, Qin Yu and Wei Chigong came back together, and the two of them stepped forward and bowed together, "Your Majesty." ”。

Li Shimin glanced at Qin Yu and the bandages wrapped around Wei Chigong's hands, nodded with a smile, then looked at Qin Yu, and said, "Yunfei has a meritorious role in saving the driver, what reward do you want." Just say. ”。

Qin Yu was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Li Shimin to say this again, saying this shows that Li Shimin is extremely generous, but the rewards are basically not big, because Qin Yu can't really ask for this and that. Be humble and push. So. Li Shimin pushed the boat down the river, and after one or two times, it faded nine times out of ten.

Sighing secretly, Qin Yu was just about to say goodbye, when he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Then he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, this is what Weichen should do, not to mention that Weichen is still a Tang horse." There is no need for reward. ”。

When Li Shimin heard this, he was satisfied, and after laughing, he immediately said, "Yunfei, if you have merit, you will be rewarded, this is the principle, let's say, what do you want?" ”。

Qin Yu sighed again, "If I really want any reward, I guess others will talk about me." Thinking of this, Qin Yu suddenly smiled, hurriedly bowed down to cover up, and then said, "Your Majesty, this road repair costs a lot, I don't know if the imperial court can?" ”。

Li Shimin's face stiffened when he heard this, a few months ago, he copied a lot of money from his house, but this money also has a place to use, and now there is not much, the officials want money, the household department wants money, the Ministry of Industry also needs money, and the military department is also a big head, originally a lot of money, this point and that point, divide back and forth, and as a result, there are still millions of yuan left in the treasury, which is called what Li Shimin should do, otherwise Li Shimin would not have taken care of him in the matter of spending money on road construction before.

After laughing a few times, Li Shimin patted Qin Yu's shoulder, and said seriously, "Yunfei, this road has to be repaired, and I have also given you power, well, let's do it, there will be prisoners of war in the future, all of them will be given to you, how about it?" ”。

"Hehe, I'm just waiting for your words." Qin Yu smiled secretly, and then said with a look of embarrassment, "Your Majesty, it's a good thing that there are prisoners of war on this road, but their cost is also high, just eating a day will cost three or five hundred, if there are too many people, this cost will be even greater, not counting the materials used for road construction such as cement." ”。

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched unnaturally when he heard this, how much does it cost to spend 100,000 prisoners of war, Li Shimin naturally knows that even if he saves it, it will cost him a hundred or ten times a day, which is not a small amount, it took a month to repair the road from Qingfengju to Chang'an, of course, this has something to do with the fact that it is winter now, but even if these factors are removed, Datang is so big, how long will it take to build the road, even if it is to build so many roads that go directly to the border pass, it will take a few years.

If you add the materials for road construction, it will cost more money, and the homes of corrupt officials are not copied every year, isn't it embarrassing Li Shimin, at this time, Qin Yu glanced at Li Shimin, who was embarrassed, smiled secretly, and then said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if Weichen has an idea?" If you can, Weichen can also turn around, so that you can continue to build roads. ”。

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "What an idea, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”。

"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to ask His Majesty for the right to collect fees, that is, if the highway in Lu is repaired, if it is opened to traffic, vehicles and horses will have to pay money." Qin Yu bowed down with a smile on his face and said.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, looked at Qin Yu dumbfounded, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Yunfei, aren't you blocking the road and robbing it." ”。

Qin Yu's face suddenly stiffened, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and then he said helplessly, "Your Majesty, this is not a roadblock robbery, the highway is repaired by Weichen, Weichen didn't ask them to pay a penny, if the vehicles and horses use the road, it will damage the road, and after a long time, it will naturally be broken, and then Weichen will have to arrange regular maintenance, which will cost money, and Weichen can't help it, otherwise this road is estimated to not be repaired for long, and it will have to be completely stopped." ”。

After a pause, Qin Yu continued, "Father, the cost of this road is not high, you will pay one or two for each road section, and those who ride horses and cars will not have a penny, not to mention that they can also choose not to take the road, then they will not have to spend money, and after the retainers recover the cost, they will pass for free." ”。

Qin Yu's voice was very small, only Li Shimin and Empress Changsun could hear it, and the hundreds of officials on the side pricked up their ears one by one to listen to what Qin Yu said, but unfortunately they couldn't hear it at all.

After listening to this, Li Shimin thought for a while, then nodded, and then recognized Qin Yu's statement, then looked at Qin Yu and asked softly, "Yunfei, when the time comes, my soldiers and horses will use the road, and you won't also charge, right?" ”。

Qin Yu was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Father, how is this possible, the army is naturally free, there is no doubt about this." ”。

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, and was just about to say yes, when he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Yunfei, give me a thorough understanding, how long will it take to return to the original on this road?" ”。

When Qin Yu heard this, his face suddenly stiffened, and he said secretly, "Alas, I still plan to make some money, forget it." After thinking about it, he immediately said, "Father, it is estimated that it will return to its original cost in three or five years, depending on the use of the highway." ”。

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and after thinking for a while, he then said, "Yunfei, how about I give you the right to charge for three years?" ”。

Qin Yu was slightly stunned, and then asked in a low voice, "Father, do you count these three years from now, or do you start by repairing all the roads?" ”。

"From now on, of course." Li Shimin glared at Qin Yu, and then whispered, very straightforward and very simple, listening to Qin Yu's egg pain, Qin Yu nodded helplessly, and then said, "Okay, three years is three years, but Father, this prisoner of war is still too few, when will I get some more?" ”。

Li Shimin touched his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something, then looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Yunfei, don't you want to go to the battlefield again?" ”。

Qin Yu laughed a few times, then nodded, and then whispered, "Father, the son really wants to go to the battlefield, but it will take a while." ”。

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, as for what Qin Yu said about waiting for a while, Li Shimin took it for granted that there was no excuse to send troops now, but he didn't know that Qin Yu was waiting for guns and cannons.

As for sending troops, there is no excuse, but because Qin Yu swept away Tuyuhun in seven days, those alien races were collectively silent, and no one dared to come to the Tang border to make trouble, of course, it is not impossible to conquest those alien races under the guise of revenge, but in this regard, whether it is Li Shimin or the hundred officials of the Tang Dynasty, they will not choose this way.

Of course, the alien race will not be honest for too long, their quality of life is there, at most a year or two, there will be some action, otherwise how to solve their food and drink, how to solve all kinds of materials, and how to maintain the luxurious life of those nobles of the foreign race, so it is only a matter of time, barbarism and greed are the nature of those aliens.

It's not useless to educate, but the premise is to speak with your fists, Qin Yu's strategy is this, Li Shimin thinks so now, and even many of the hundred officials in the Tang Dynasty think so, especially those generals, of course, there are not no sour and rotten people, but there will not be many, because this is the Tang Dynasty.

"Ahem, ahem." Wei Zheng suddenly coughed vigorously a few times, Li Shimin and Qin Yu were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it is not good to whisper like this, Li Shimin hurriedly straightened his expression, and then looked at Qin Yu and said, "Yunfei, I will hand over the power of this highway toll to you, for a period of three years, and after three years, it is best to recover the cost, and if you can't recover the cost, Yunfei don't blame me." ”。

"Weichen doesn't dare, thank you Your Majesty." Qin Yu hurriedly bowed in response.

At this time, Fang Xuanling looked over and asked, "King Qin, how is the toll price of this highway calculated?" ”。

Qin Yu smiled slightly, and then said, "Vehicles use the highway, and they are charged according to the distance, and they are charged for every fifty miles, and it is also one for fifty miles. ”。 (To be continued......)
