Once the plan was decided, the next day everyone began.

First of all, Fang Yuan's side, he held a meeting as soon as he arrived at the household department.

Although Tang Jian has submitted his resignation, it will take him a month to go through the process, but he is still not in the household department.

Therefore, when Fang Yuan held a meeting, including Cui Zhentang, he had to participate, and it was full of people.

"I've checked the state treasury in the past few days and found that there is still some money."

"Chang'an City is the center of the Tang Dynasty, but the road is 108,000 miles worse than Liaozhou."

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official thinks it's time to build a road for Chang'an City, what do you think?"

Fang Yuan knocked on the table and said loudly.

Road construction is a means, on the grounds that the household department is the investment, and the world's noble families are secretly invited to invest.

As soon as they came and went, the money entered the treasury of the imperial court from the hands of the noble families of the world, filling the treasury of the imperial court.

"Lord Fang, the road in Chang'an City is very good, there is no need to invest money in it, right?"

"Xia Guan also thinks that the treasury does not have much money at all, and we need to save and save."

"Liaozhou is just a lower state, even if the road in Xiazhou is good, how good can it be, Lord Fang laughed."

A number of household officials put forward their opinions.

Although there is no explicit objection, the meaning is already obvious.

And when these officials spoke, they all secretly looked at Cui Zhentang's side.

It is conceivable that they are showing their loyalty to Cui Zhentang and looking forward to Cui Zhentang.

"As an official of the household department, he controls the finances of Datang, and this official thinks that without investigation, he has no right to speak."

"The development of Liaozhou in recent years is the fastest among the 327 states in the entire Datang, and there is a world of difference between it now and a few years ago."

Fang Yuan's gaze swept over the officials who were speaking, and said indifferently.

Not long ago, he went back to Liaozhou, otherwise he wouldn't dare to talk like this.

The changes in Liaozhou are definitely the biggest among so many states in Datang.

With Liaozhou as an example, it was much easier for Fang Yuan to realize his ideas.

"Even so, it's not time to build roads, and now the treasury has no money."

The officials looked at each other and said in a deep voice.

"If you don't build roads, you will be ridiculed by people all over the world that Chang'an is not as good as Liaozhou?"

"This matter will be vigorously promoted by the official, and if there is any accident, the official will also take responsibility, what other opinions do you have?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

When the words fell, the officials talked a lot and exchanged heads.

Many people looked at Cui Zhentang, who was sitting next to Fang Yuan, and saw that they had not been instructed to do so, so they did not object again.

Since Fang Yuan said that he would bear any accidents, it was not impossible for Fang Yuan to bear them.

Moreover, Fang Yuan also said that he would try his best to promote it, and their opposition was actually not very interesting.

"Since there is no opinion, the matter of building the road has been passed like this, and the official will keep an eye on him the whole time."

"In addition, there is another thing, the change of the community housing launched some time ago, the official decided to implement it together, and sell the land to the world's prominent families to build a community."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Land finance is under the management of the Ministry of Households.

The purchase and sale of land is also under the control of the Ministry of Households.

But before the deal is concluded, the emperor's nod is needed.

"Fang Shilang, building a community requires a lot of land, and the official thinks it is impossible."

Cui Zhentang said indifferently.

He could ignore Fang Yuan's talk about building roads.

Because building roads will only be invested in a bottomless pit, and it will be difficult to make money.

However, building a community is different, and it requires a lot of money to be built in the early stage, and the return will be several times in the later stage.

Regarding the housing in Liaozhou community, many people in the world already know that the five surnames and seven wangs are well-informed and have long known.

For the community house, they also have ideas inside, and they are ready to build high-rise buildings for their families, so that people of the same clan can live in the same building, and so on.

"Lord Fang, the lower officials also feel that it is impossible."

"Lord Fang, no."

One by one, the officials objected.

Fang Qingping was still close to Fang Yuan, and his face became ugly.

There weren't many of them in the first place, and after Cui Zhentang was rumored to succeed the head of the household department, the number was even smaller.

"This matter is not the opinion of this official alone, it is approved by His Majesty."

Fang Yuan glanced at the person who objected, and sneered in his heart.

Cui Zhentang's support is many, and eighty percent of the people in the household department are biased towards him.

"Your Majesty's approval?"

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to each other.

finally looked at Cui Zhentang, and Cui Zhentang made a decision.

"Since His Majesty agrees, then I don't have any opinions."

"But there is no money left in the treasury, what does Your Majesty think?"

Cui Zhentang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

He just thought that Fang Yuan proposed to build a road and build a community.

It is estimated that he is afraid that he will empty his rights after he ascends to power, and now he is seeking a way out.

But now after hearing that it was Li Shimin's approval, Cui Zhentang instantly felt that something was wrong.

There may be things you don't know.

"Your Majesty doesn't have any ideas, it's for us to discuss it on our own."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said indifferently.

"Negotiate it yourself?"

"But I'm not going to be able to participate in this because I've been busy lately."

Cui Zhentang's brows furrowed even deeper, and he shook his head.

He felt that these two things were even more unusual.

So he decided not to support Fang Yuan, so that Fang Yuan's things could not be done.

As long as it is delayed until Tang Jian successfully resigns, the household department Shangshu can fall on his head and the dust will fall.

"Lord Fang, I have been busy with a lot of things recently, I'm afraid I will neglect the implementation of the construction of the community, can you delay the time a little?"

Officials followed Cui Zhentang's words one after another.

Fang Qingping looked at them with anger, his face turned red with anger, and he glared at them angrily.

"It's okay, the official will also personally check this matter, as long as there is an official."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently.

When they saw this, they were even more surprised.

Fang Yuan engaged in these actions when Cui Zhentang was about to succeed him, was he going to die and struggle?

Then, when the meeting ended, everyone dispersed, and the atmosphere in the household department became even more oppressive.

After the meeting ended, Fang Yuan, who was in the office, called Fang Qingping and a few people.

"Announcements of road construction and community construction will be posted and publicized as much as possible."

Fang Yuan commanded.

Time is of the essence, and everything needs to be implemented as soon as possible.

A month, it's only thirty days.

"My lord, do you have any ideas?"

Fang Qingping didn't go down immediately, but asked in a low voice excitedly.

"It's an idea, but it's uncertain whether it can be realized."

"You said yesterday to look for evidence, and don't stop."

Fang Yuan didn't have a showdown, and waved his hand.

"Retire!"

Fang Qingping left excitedly.

Although Fang Yuan said that he was not sure if it could be realized.

But there is a method and there is no method, there are two different things.

It didn't take long for the announcement of the household department to be sent out and spread throughout Chang'an City.

From the hundreds of officials to the common people, they all knew that the imperial court wanted to build roads and communities.

Li Shimin, who learned the news, was surprised, but after thinking about it, he knew that it was Fang Yuan's method.

Anyway, the state treasury does not have much money now, and it is simply impossible for the state treasury to invest in road construction and community building.

Then let Fang Yuan do it, he can do whatever he wants, and he will only give him a month.

The Dugu family.

A family known as the Queen Family.

The roots of this family are not in Chang'an City, but there are branches in Chang'an City.

In fact, many of the world's families have no roots in Chang'an City, but they will have branches in Chang'an City.

Chang'an City is the imperial capital, and each family will keep an eye on the movements of the imperial court to ensure that they can understand the direction of the empire more quickly.

At this moment, Fang Yuan was personally visiting the Dugu family and meeting the person in charge of the Dugu family here in Chang'an City, Dugu Bo.

"Lord Fang, why are you here in person?"

Dugu Bo greeted Fang Yuan in person, and said very politely.

Although it is now rumored that Cui Zhentang is going to sit in the position of the head of the household.

But this had no effect on their respect for Fang Yuan.

They respected Fang Yuan because Fang Yuan was a household servant and had strong hard power.

"Brother Dugu, didn't bother, right?"

Fang Yuan chuckled.

This is the eldest son of the Dugu family and the future patriarch of the Dugu family.

He committed some things a few years ago, and was arranged by the Dugu family to go to Chang'an City to exercise, and he never went back.

"No, no, please inside."

Dugu Bo shook his head and invited Fang Yuan to enter.

"Brother Dugu also bought a bicycle and a tricycle?"

Fang Yuan and Dugu Bo walked into Dugu Mansion and saw several bicycles and tricycles in the courtyard.

"Yes."

"Bicycles and tricycles are really rare and magical, and the Mojia Research Institute is really amazing."

Dugu Bo looked at the bicycle and sighed.

The people in the house learned that the Mojia Research Institute had launched bicycles and tricycles and informed him.

He didn't do it at first, but Dugu's family had money, and a few hundred bicycles were not a problem at all, so he bought a few and came back.

After coming back, Dugu Bo looked at the magic and tried it himself, thinking that it was really magical and practical, which could greatly improve the convenience of life.

In this regard, Dugu Bo wanted to order a batch to send back to the family.

So when he saw Fang Yuan coming, he was quite polite, after all, Fang Yuan was the true master of the Mo Family Research Institute.

"It's good to make Brother Dugu like it."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

A peek at a leopard and know the whole body, families like the Dugu family have attention, and other families must also pay attention.

This is great news for bicycles and tricycles, which will become popular in a short period of time.

"I like it very much."

"It just so happened that Lord Fang arrived, can I order 10,000 bicycles and 10,000 tricycles directly from you?"

Dugu Bo said directly.

The Dugu family is a big family, and 10,000 bicycles and 10,000 tricycles are not enough.

But now the price of a bicycle is 399, and the price of a tricycle is 499, which is a very high account, almost exceeding his authority in Chang'an City.

"It's definitely no problem."

"But now there are a lot of people who order, and I'm afraid it will take half a month to deliver."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

He didn't really know about the ordering of bicycles and tricycles.

But since the Dugu family has taken a fancy to it, other families must also take a fancy to it.

"It's okay."

Dugu Bohaha laughed.

Invite Fang Yuan to sit down and let people prepare tea and pastries.

"Brother Dugu, I came this time because I have something else to discuss with you."

Fang Yuan is the color road.

The Dugu family is a big family.

If it is said that the five surnames and seven hopes are the top families.

Then the Dugu family is a first-class family, second only to the top family.

It is not good to build roads and build communities to find five surnames and seven hopes, and they may find out the truth.

A first-class family like the Dugu family is the best partner to work with, and they have the strength and manpower.

"Lord Fang, please speak."

Dugu Bo asked curiously.

He was also curious about why Fang Yuan came to find him?

"May I ask if Brother Dugu received the imperial court announcement to build roads and communities?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Received, does the imperial court want our family to build a community?"

Dugu Bo nodded and asked.

For the information of the imperial court, he can guess some.

And for the construction of a community, Dugubo also has some ideas.

But it's one thing to have an idea, it's another to do it.

Now the Dugu family is not his master, and he can't do what he wants.

"Not bad."

"I personally looked for Brother Dugu this time because I wanted to talk to Brother Dugu about building roads and communities."

Fang Yuan looked at Dugu Bo and nodded.

"Lord Fang, I'll tell you the truth, I don't have any ideas about building roads, and I'm interested in building a community."

"But whether you have an idea or not, or whether you are interested or not, such a large scale is not for me to decide, you are looking for the wrong person."

Dugu Bo shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Brother Dugu, you can give advice to the clan."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He had investigated Dugu Bo, who was only a few years older than him.

is the eldest son of the Dugu family, and the most likely candidate to inherit the Dugu family in the future.

Such a person must have a great say in the Dugu family, so Fang Yuan was the first to come to him.

"Those in the clan are all old foxes, they only think about whether they have interests, not whether they are interested."

"Building roads is a big investment, the cost is extremely high, just to provide convenience, it is difficult to bring in income, they will not agree."

"They may think about building a community, but the risk is very high, they may not agree, and it is almost a waste of time for me to give them advice."

Dugu Bo shook his head and said.

There was a bit of weakness and anger in his eyes.

"Brother Dugu, building roads is actually very easy to bring income."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.

"First of all, let me ask you, do you think bicycles and tricycles will be popular?"

Fang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Definitely!"

"I don't dare to say that everyone has one, but there will definitely be many people who own it."

Dugu Bo nodded solemnly.

What can bring great convenience to people will definitely be able to hit the streets.

Three or four hundred yuan, it is not a problem for the rich, but for the poor, it is still possible to buy it by gritting their teeth.

"Whether it's a bicycle or a tricycle, or a new type of car to be launched in the future, they can drive well on flat roads, and they can drive a lot on ordinary dirt roads."

"At this time, if you can drive on the road, then people must be very happy, at this time the road built will start to collect tolls, after a long time, do you think you can return to the cost?"

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

To build roads, some places can be free, but some places can be charged.

It can't all be charity, there must be a return to the capital.

"It's certainly not going to be expensive."

"But it can be cheap, how many years will it take to pay back?"

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, but he soon had a new idea.

"For your big family, what is ten years, twenty Chinese New Year's Eve years?"

"And I think that building roads and building communities is the only chance for your first-class family to surpass the five surnames and seven hopes."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

When the words fell, Dugu Bo's eyes widened instantly.
