Jingwen just cut off a guy's future and official position, and the reason why Jingwen did this was for a reason. Because of this kind of large-scale construction, there are always many people who will oppose it. Whether it is hypocritical and wants fame, or really for the good of the country, it is all opposed. And this guy is obviously not really thinking about the country, but in fact, he is a person who wants to use this to invite fame and obtain political capital. Therefore, for this kind of guy who opposes for the sake of opposition, Jingwen will definitely be beaten to death with a stick. Of course, it's not really about his life, it's mainly about letting him get out. Anyway, Jingwen also knows that since he is mixed in the officialdom, how can he not make enemies? Therefore, it is necessary to use people to establish prestige. Otherwise, I am afraid that more people will oppose it.

"Your Majesty, that guy objected too quickly just now, and I objected before I finished speaking. In fact, the reason why the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty were abused was because they were too anxious. They have to build such a huge project in just a few years or so, so can they not spend more people's power? But my Datang is different, and I Datang has many conditions that are much better than theirs. First of all, the emperor is wise and will not treat the people too harshly, and the people will not be unable to bear too much conscription and move around. Jingwen said first.

Li Shimin smiled at everyone, obviously Jingwen was taking the opportunity to pat himself on the back.

"Second, we have solved the biggest problem of the construction project, which is quarrying. We have gunpowder, so quarrying is very easy, don't worry about our lack of stone. We spend less than one-tenth of the time we used to quarry, and less than one percent of the manpower we used to have. Therefore, once the quarrying problem is solved, many problems can be solved. ”

"Third, we have some simple construction machinery, which makes our construction very smooth and trouble-free, so we won't make it too difficult for the people, so the conditions of our Datang are countless times better than those of the Qin and Sui dynasties. A big project. Can't crush us! Jingwen said.

When everyone heard so many conditions, they couldn't help but nod a little, because if there were these conditions, then maybe it would not be impossible to build a big project. But what exactly is this project, Jingwen should have an idea.

"Then Jingwen, what kind of project is my Datang suitable for?" Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can build cement roads across the country. We can build concrete roads all over the country, so that our roads are very smooth. In the past, our roads were all yellow mud roads, and once it rained, it would be very muddy. And if we use cement to build roads. Then we wouldn't have these problems. Moreover, it would normally take three or four days to walk, but now it can be reached in two days. This is of great benefit to both road transport and marching and fighting. Therefore, I think that we can build cement roads across the country, at least on the main roads, so that the exchange of materials can be very smooth, and the unity of the country can be maintained. ”

Heard about the ability to maintain the unity of the country. Everyone couldn't help but be very moved by this. Because it is very difficult to maintain the unity of the country. Because in some places, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, but it is not in vain. Even in the 21st century, there are many local governments that cannot directly govern them. And the reason for this. That is, the road is impassable. The impassability of the road means that the army cannot coerce the local area, and if there is any local rebellion, the army will not have time to go over to quell the rebellion. And the more time drags on for a day. The number of enemies and the erosion of the situation are likely to multiply, and the cost of counterinsurgency will also increase exponentially. And if the army can spend one-third of the time in the morning to quell the rebellion, what a great support for the stability and reunification of the country!

And others know what cement is. However, Emperor Li Shimin got a report from Yan Lide and knew what was cement. And if the whole country can have concrete roads, it will be very powerful for the military. When the time comes to put down the rebellion, that can reduce the cost a lot.

"Your Majesty, this is a bad word. If this kind of road is built, it will certainly help us to quell the rebellion, but it may also be used by traitors! When the time comes, the rebellion borrowed this kind of galloping road to attack my Datang core, wouldn't that be a great crime? So, Jingwen is helping the enemy with such things! "A fool began to speak.

"Idiot!" Many people cursed in their hearts.

And the faces of the generals are dark, obviously this is insulting their army, insulting their army is not those rebellious opponents! And, if it really comes to the point where the enemy is afraid of the enemy using this gallop, then is there any hope for the country? This guy is cursing the Tang Dynasty to die as soon as possible!

"Pull this bastard out of here, and never use it!" Li Shimin said angrily.

Li Shimin continued: "This gallop road should be repaired!" ”

The emperor immediately set the tone, and no one else could say anything. The next thing to discuss is how to build this cement road that runs through the country.

"Your Majesty, the minister has drawn up an outline for building a cement road." Jingwen said.

"Say!" Li Shimin said.

Jingwen immediately said: "Your Majesty, in view of the lessons of the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, we can't be in a hurry. We intend to connect the main strategic state capitals within 10 years, and connect these strategic state capitals, so that we can maintain the rule of the world. Within 20 years, all the upper states were connected with cement roads, forming the backbone of the country's roads. Within forty years, the middle and lower states will be connected, so that my Datang can be almost stable. ”

Li Shimin also sighed a little when he heard this forty-year plan. Because Li Shimin is now almost 30 years old, and in 40 years, I am afraid he will be 70 years old. Even Li Shimin does not have the confidence to live to the age of 70, and I am afraid that the cement road project will take two generations to complete. However, Li Shimin should be able to see the day when all the Shangzhou in the world will be connected, so that the whole country will basically be stable.

"Your Majesty, you can also authorize the local government to build some ordinary cement roads on their own if their own financial resources allow, so that they can connect county-level units together. In the future, the connection between the county levels can be handed over to the local government to complete, so that a lot of things can be saved. Jingwen said.

"Okay, what's next? Let the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Supervisor and other departments work together! Li Shimin asked. (To be continued......)
