In Ganjingzhuang early in the morning, as soon as the day dawned, the farmers began to dig ditches with farm tools.

According to Li Qinzai's arrangement, the ditch was dug and tamped with wooden piles, and then the surface was coated with cement.

This is a big project, and it will be about the end of the year when it is all completed. In order to catch up with the construction period, before the autumn harvest was busy, Li Qinzai hired laborers from neighboring villages to burn kilns and dig ditches to repair roads.

A short section of the road leading from the entrance of the village to Zhuangzili was paved with cement, which is a model project, which is not only convenient for the villagers to enter and exit, but also open to outsiders to visit in the future.

The farmers were busy, the students worked hard, but Li Qinzai slept leisurely until the morning.

Last night's expedition was too much, and was ridden by Cui Jie for half a night, her waist was a little sore, the female knight was heroic, the rhythm was bright, and the ups and downs were like ups and downs in life, both cool and tired, and finally tasteless.

After washing up in the morning, Liu Asi came to report that someone from the British Mansion in Chang'an had arrived.

Someone came to convey Li Tao's words.

A few days ago, Li Tao bought a mansion for Li Qinzai and his wife in Yongning Fang in Chang'an City, with a courtyard with four entrances, and a flower hall with a pond rockery and a warm pavilion, covering an area of more than 20 acres and spending more than 1,000 yuan.

Li Qinzai was surprised, he didn't think about living in Chang'an City at all, he had already regarded the other courtyard in Ganjingzhuang as his home, but Li Tao didn't seem to think so.

With Li Qinzai's promotion to the rank of knight, he was more and more valued by Li Zhi, and he was getting closer and closer to the center of power in the court.

The Li family is a double lord, and as Li Qinzai's county uncle, he should also have a decent mansion in Chang'an City.

Li Qinzai was a little moved in his heart, he was a person who had started a family, and he was not short of money in hand, but he didn't expect to inadvertently gnaw at the old.

- Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome at all, if there are valuable things such as white jade flying horses in the Guogong Mansion, it is better than anything else to give it to Li Qinzai.

After the messenger left, Cui Jie walked up to Li Qinzai and said softly: "Husband, grandpa bought us a mansion, are we going to move to Chang'an City?" ”

Li Qinzai said thoughtfully: "Where do you like to live?" ”

Cui Jie hesitated for a moment and said: "The concubine still likes to live here, there are mountains and rivers, and there are simple villages, and buckwheat can also play with the children without worries, if we live in Chang'an City, there will be more grievances and grievances." ”

After Li Qinzai clarified her thoughts, he said with a smile: "Then let's live in Zhuangzi, the house in Chang'an will be taken care of by the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion, and we will occasionally stay for a few days." There is still a group of uncompetitive students in Zhuangzi, and I can't just leave it alone. ”

Cui Jie sneered, glanced at him, and said, "Mr. Fu Jundang only occasionally asks about their studies, fortunately, there is still a Di Renjie to urge them, otherwise they will all become wild children." ”

"You know what, the free-range animals are tender, fat and juicy, my husband stares at them every day to learn too condescendingly, as long as you keep a dog on a leash in the school, they will be very well-behaved."

Cui Jie said angrily: "You should herd sheep, how can there be a gentleman like you." When the concubine was young, my father invited me to teach the Confucian, and the old gentleman arrived earlier than me every day, left later than me, and forced me to study with a ruler, and I was not allowed to stop ...... for a moment."

Li Qinzai smiled: "If I do this, those bastards who are not angry will hate you to death." ”

Cui Jie snorted: "Isn't this how you come to study? The concubines were also beaten by their husbands when they were young, so why did they have to be offered? The husband just stares at them, and he has to be beaten. ”

Li Qinzai's eyes suddenly sank, looked at the mountains in the distance, and sighed lightly: "I'm afraid I haven't had time to take care of their studies recently......

"Why?"

"Because the Chang'an court may be about to set off a storm."

…………

Li Qinzai's guess was right, and the Chang'an court really set off a storm.

After Li Zhi and Empress Wu returned to Chang'an, they summoned Xu Jingzong, the right minister, and Xu Yushi, the left minister, on the same day, and in front of the two prime ministers, Li Zhi proposed many ideas such as building roads in the next few years, cashing in for work, and building sea ships to find new land.

The two prime ministers were stunned for a long time, and even though they unanimously expressed strong opposition.

Li Zhi's idea is too naïve, to carry out such a huge project, it is difficult to sustain without a rich national capital, the money spent, the craftsmen and people used, the number is so huge that I dare not even think about it.

Li Zhi worked on the draft for a few days, and was about to make some meritorious achievements, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was blocked by the two prime ministers.

Li Zhi was very unhappy, but the two prime ministers were not used to him, and persuaded Li Zhi bitterly to slow down everything.

Although there have not been many foreign wars in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, Li Zhi has been a big war every time he raises troops and uses force, and the little money he has saved in the treasury for more than ten years has been depleted.

There is a red line in the treasury, when the money and grain in the treasury is lower than a certain number, there will be a danger of turmoil in the world.

Li Zhi was a little surprised, he didn't expect the two opposites to be so fierce, it is said that Xu Jingzong, the right minister, is still a trading partner with him, and he has been advancing and retreating with him for several months, standing in a clear line, who knows that this time the partners are not on his side.

Of course, Li Zhi is not a self-righteous son of heaven, and he understands the good intentions of the two prime ministers, but he agrees with Li Qinzai's analysis, so he tries to convince the two prime ministers.

In fact, Li Zhi is not so disregarded to reality, he knows that the world is tired for a long time, and he also knows that the treasury is barren, but his concept can be summed up in one sentence, that is, to exchange the bitterness of one generation for the sweetness of one hundred and ten generations.

The two prime ministers were resolutely opposed, their concept was that this generation was already bitter enough, and if you were bitter again, would you still want to be the emperor?

Seriously, the ideas of both sides actually have their own truths, and there are no sharp contradictions, and it is very common for the monarchs and ministers in the court to disagree.

But Li Zhi is the Son of Heaven after all, accustomed to the courtiers' welcome, this time the two prime ministers refused too bluntly, Li Zhi was patient and reasonable at the beginning, and he got angry when he spoke, and finally got angry in front of the two prime ministers.

The monarch and the minister parted unhappily, and they were very unhappy with each other.

If the topic stops, after the two sides calm down, it would be okay to continue the discussion another day, after all, only the three monarchs and ministers know about this matter, and the two prime ministers will not talk nonsense everywhere.

It's a pity that Li Zhi was angry, and after being rejected by the two prime ministers, he felt that the majesty of the Son of Heaven was offended, so he had a rebellious mentality.

The next day coincided with the Shuowang pilgrimage, which is commonly known as the Great Pilgrimage.

At the court meeting, all officials in Chang'an City with official ranks of four grades or above had to participate, and one or two thousand officials stood inside and outside the Taiji Palace.

On such a grand occasion, Li Zhi's mind was hot, and in front of one or two thousand officials, he said the plan to build roads and ships, and announced his intention to make this a century-old national policy.

This can be regarded as overturning the hornet's nest, and the entire Taiji Palace is boiling.
