Chapter 543: Arriving in Chang'an
"Xuan Ce, let's build the road, we will connect all the states and counties in the whole Tang Dynasty, the road is easy to walk, and the distance between them will be closer. Are you right? ”
Li Shen suddenly said to Wang Xuance.
The relationship between people is never because of distance,
"Build roads?" Wang Xuance was surprised.
"Lord Wang, we have planned to build two roads this year, and the shopkeeper Wang should have started construction at this time.
If the whole Tang Dynasty cultivates together, our palace doesn't have so much money. ”
Li Shen thought about it,
"We can let the court pay for it, but we can't build roads for the court to pick up the cheap, these damn rotten people, they don't have any foresight,
I know that if you are content with the status quo, you will rush forward if you have benefits, and no one will agree when you want to pay.
No, this king has to find a way to get these people to make some money. ”
Li Shen now has a great opinion on the civil officials of feudal society, but whenever the state policy is promulgated, as long as it is beneficial to them, they vigorously agree with it and promote it.
If it is not beneficial to them, or if it is harmful to their interests, even if it is beneficial to the people of the world, they will oppose it.
This is the reason why Li Shen hates them the most.
"Lord, it may be a little difficult to get the court to pay for it, but now that the court has been fighting against Goguryeo for more than a year, the money spent should be very large.
They don't expect to pay for the road.
If you don't get it, someone will suggest that you pay for it. ”
Wang Xuance also knows a little about the affairs of the imperial court.
"Xuan Ce, this is going to be a plan, in fact, it is not impossible to let the palace build roads, and we can also make money on this.
It's just that the palace will pay for repairs, and the king is unbalanced.
And if the palace builds all the roads, the prestige of the palace among the people will be very high.
This is contrary to the original intention of this king, and everything should be low-key. We can stir up trouble among the princes and nobles, but we cannot establish prestige among the people. ”
This is the basic principle of Li Shen's life, and the prestige of the people is too high, so it is called danger.
Wang Xuance didn't say much after hearing this, and followed Li Shen to find a way.
Li Shen's team took the land route, in fact, according to the speed, Li Shen would take a boat to go along the coast much faster than the land route.
Although it is closer to the land route, it is really not easy to walk by land, Lingnan is mountainous, and many of them have to walk around the mountain to pass.
It took Li Shen's team more than 20 days to leave the boundary of Lingnan Province and reach Jiangnan Province.
Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, but Li Shen is not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment, he wants to return to Chang'an sooner.
After more than a month of travel, Li Shen's team arrived in Chang'an.
I walked for two months.
Looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Li Shen was like a world away, and Li Shen was now eager to kiss the two of them against the city wall.
In the past two months, Li Shen was about to vomit while sitting in the carriage, and his buttocks hurt while riding a horse, so he was uncomfortable.
This made Li Shen more determined to build the road, and sometimes when it rained and the road was muddy, the carriage said that it would fall into it.
"Lord Wang, King Wei and King Jin are in front." Stone whispered.
"King Wei and King Jin?" Li Shen was puzzled, even if it was greeted by the ten-mile long pavilion, shouldn't Li Chengqian come?
"Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have gone to Goguryeo at this time." Wang Xuance reminded.
"Yes, the eldest brother should go to Goguryeo, alas, do you think I'll let me go to Goguryeo too.
I'm still some kind of bullshit Governor of the Eastern Crusade, the position of Overseer. ”
At this time, Li Shen's mood when he had just returned to Chang'an began to deteriorate again.
Soon Li Shen's carriage stopped, and Li Shen got out of the carriage.
"Yes, fourth brother, ninth brother." Li Shen saluted.
"Tenth brother, Aya asked the two of us to greet you, the envoy of the Ten Daos, saying that it was for you to enter the palace directly."
Li Tai said, with some jealousy in his tone.
He also wanted Li Shimin to give him more rights, but he just didn't give him a chance.
And he, a younger brother who is idle and unlearned, Aya has entrusted him with important tasks, how can this not make him jealous.
"Tenth brother, you have made a great contribution this time, and the two major cases you handled have given me a warning to the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhi said with a smile on his face.
"Where will the little brother handle any big cases, even if the little brother happened to bump into them, it can be regarded as their bad luck."
Li Shen replied modestly.
"Okay, Aya is still waiting in the palace, the tenth brother has drunk this glass of wine, so follow us into the palace."
Li Tai obviously didn't want to say more to Li Shen here,
Li Shen also felt that there was nothing to talk about with the two of them, so he took a glass of wine and drank it all.
After that, the brothers got into their respective carriages and drove towards the palace.
"Your Majesty, the King of Wei and the King of Jin have brought King Ji back and are waiting outside the palace." Wang De came in to report.
"Let them in." Li Shimin put down the recital in his hand, and after Li Chengqian left, he began to review the recital again.
"The son saw Aya, and the son went out for a few months, thinking about Ayah all the time, and every moment he wanted to listen to Aya's teachings in front of Aya.
I don't know how many nights I have dreamed of Aya in my sleep and wept, and I didn't think about tea and dinner after waking up.
Today I finally saw Aya, Aya's dragon face is still the same, the tiger is vigorous, the spirit is vibrant, the whole body is full of dragon energy, and the spirit is domineering,
It is really the luck of my Datang and the luck of the people.
The emperor's grace is vast, blessing the people of the whole country; The dragon body is healthy and gives longevity for thousands of generations. ”
Li Shen's words made the brothers next to them stunned, and looked at Li Shen blankly.
Especially Li Tai, every time he sees Li Shimin, he is also sweet, otherwise why does Li Shimin like him so much.
But he is not as sensy as Li Shen said, and this sycophant is too level, Li Tai wants to take a small book and write it down.
How did he know that Li Shen began to think about it when he was about to arrive in Chang'an, and he also consulted Wang Xuance for some advice.
He had already said almost everything he had said before, but this time he really searched his stomach and used all the words he would know all his life.
I almost shouted, 'Daddy, I love you.'" ’
And Li Shimin was also a little overwhelmed by what Li Shen said, although it is a good thing that his son misses Lao Tzu, but you don't have to say it so numbly.
All of a sudden, Li Shimin forgot what he wanted to say just now. I could only nod and say
"Okay, dignified man, how can he be like a daughter, what kind of system is this."
said so, but Li Shimin still stood up and walked down, came to Li Shen's face, and looked up and down.
It's darker than in Chang'an, but it's a lot taller.
"Old ten, you've worked hard this time. You did a good job, didn't lose my royal face, and handled it fairly. I'm satisfied. ”
Li Shimin patted Li Shen's shoulder as a compliment.
This made the brothers next to him even more envious.
