Looking at Li Shen's smile, everyone suddenly felt some bad premonitions,

But after thinking about it carefully, there are really no loopholes, and Li Shen will be charged at a higher price for three years.

Otherwise, it is very difficult to recover the cost, but if the price is increased, it will inevitably lead to complaints.

At that time, there will be a lot of impeachments in the imperial history, and the family will not let go of this opportunity.

His Majesty will also consider reclaiming the road in order to appease the people's grievances.

Li Shen carefully folded the contract and put it in his arms.

Then he bowed to Li Shen.

"Aye, since there is nothing to do, there is no way for Aya to discuss state affairs with the princes.

I'm going to go back and arrange for the road to be repaired. ”

"Then I don't know which road you want to build first? I've heard before, you want to build a road to Luoyang, right? Li Shimin asked curiously.

Others are also curious, Luoyang is the accompanying capital, and the prosperity is no less than Chang'an.

Therefore, there are more merchants on both sides, and naturally there are more cars and horses passing by.

If King Ji Xuan Ce repairs Luoyang, it can be regarded as a correct choice.

"Back to Aya, and I have already planned, the first road is the road around Chang'an City,

All carriages and horses passing through this road are subject to a maintenance fee. Li Shen said with a smile.

"Around Chang'an?" Li Shimin was stunned,

"Yes, there are checkpoints at all intersections, and as long as you step on my road, you have to pay a fee, ten cents at a time."

"Just step on your road a few meters, and you will charge ten cents?" Li Shimin raised his voice.

"A few meters of the road, also the road. If you step on it, you will be charged. Li Shen nodded.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, what is the difference between you and forcible seizure?" Gao Shilian asked.

"There is a difference, this is a right granted by the imperial court, and I will announce it in the newspaper." Li Shen shook his head,

"This ......" Gao Shilian said, the contract he had just signed.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, this is simply a strong word. Only a few meters away, you charge ten cents,

It is also necessary to blame the disaster on the imperial court, and when the people of the Tang Dynasty spread the word, how to evaluate the imperial court? Yang Shidao asked.

"How to evaluate is their business, how to interpret is your business,

This king does things according to the contract, and there is no violation of the law, it is all within the rules, what does it have to do with this king? Li Shen pouted disdainfully,

Li Shen's words made everyone present not know how to respond,

If this king did this, then the court would not be criticized, but if it was punished,

King Ji has a contract signed with the court in his hand, and King Ji will definitely announce the contents of the contract to the world.

In this way, the people of the world will only secretly scold the court, and will not talk about King Ji,

Because the money for building the road was made by King Ji, all of this was allowed by the imperial court.

"Your Royal Highness King Ji, if you are like this, aren't you afraid of being scolded by the people?

His Royal Highness is also a member of the royal family, and if he doesn't serve the court, he does such an ugly thing, how can he be worthy of the Tang Dynasty? ”

Gao Shilian was a little angry, and this sentence was what he, the queen's uncle, dared to say.

"Shen Guogong, this king thinks that this Tang Dynasty is not only the Tang Dynasty of my Li royal family,

It is also the Tang Dynasty of thousands of people in the world,

I think that when Gaozu Taiyuan raised troops, wasn't it because of the tyranny of the former Sui Dynasty, which made the people miserable?

Many of you here are heroes who followed Gaozu to oppose the former Sui and follow me Aya to fight everywhere.

Now look at what you have all become, selfish, selfish, and power-ridden.

Everything must be considered in the interests of oneself and the family first, and he is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, loyalty and patriotism.

Have you ever had a time when you couldn't sleep at night for the sake of the people of the world?

You have now forgotten the original intention of the year, forgotten what you fought for, and forgot the soldiers who died for my Datang,

You are not as good as me, and you know what it means not to forget your original intention. ”

Li Shen's scolding was vivid, and Li Shimin listened to it happily.

It seems that his son has grown up over the years.

Not only can you play scoundrels, but you can also use righteousness to scold people.

Li Shen's words made Gao Shilian speechless, and also made the ministers present silent.

Li Shen's words made them unable to refute, but if you want to say it, it is impossible to make them reform by relying on Li Shen's words.

Not even a little ashamed. (Tomato Novel Free Reading)

For them, this is the way it should be, and people do not destroy heaven and earth for their own sake.

"His Royal Highness King Ji said this, although it is correct, but the minister wants to ask, what does this have to do with His Royal Highness King Ji scraping the people.

Could it be that His Royal Highness King Ji is also scraping the people for the sake of the Tang Dynasty? Cen text broke the silence.

You say so much and it has something to do with your indiscriminate charges.

"Of course it matters, why does this king charge so much, you forced this king,

You don't want the court to pay for the benefit of the people, you always want to let others do things, and you pick up cheap ones to get a good name.

In fact, you all know in your hearts that the three-year period will not recover the cost at all.

But in order to oppose the king, you insisted on a period of three years, so that the king could lose money.

Am I wrong that you have no regard for the people for your own selfishness? Li Shen asked sharply.

"This is a bad statement, we will only formulate a three-year period in order to let the people pay some less annual fees, how can we say that we ignore the people." Ma Zhou retorted.

"Hmph, what about three years from now? Will Datang build these two roads in the future? Li Shen snorted coldly.

"Didn't King Ji say that he would continue to repair again?" Cen replied.

"Hahahaha, are you telling this king a ghost story? Ben Wang lost a lot of money by repairing the road,

Will this king still build roads three years later? Isn't this king suffering from brain disease? Li Shen thinks that they have some IQ problems,

Or do they take advantage of it for granted?

"As a prince, shouldn't you do something for the Tang Dynasty?" Ma Zhou said.

"Is the king's money from the treasury? Did you give the king's money?

Tell you that the king's money is earned by his ability, and you are all important ministers of the court, so why don't you donate all your family property to serve the country.

As long as you dare to donate, the king will donate twice, no, five times.

How's that, guys? ”

Ma Zhou's words choked Li Shen enough, is he guilty of being rich?

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Li Shen continued:

"The money in my Ji Wangfu is not blown by the wind, I earn it in a serious way,

There is not a single penny of black money.

And this king has done little for the imperial court, the cement road from Chang'an to Xinzhou, the whole journey is 2,500 miles,

It took more than 2 million yuan to solve the problem of drought in Henan Province, but also enrich the people on both sides.

Don't tell this king about benevolence, righteousness and morality, this king has done a lot more for Datang than you.

Anyway, in a word. Since we have signed the contract, we must act according to the contract,

This king promises not to violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty,

Moreover, the second road of this king is to build the road from Chang'an to Goguryeo.

Tang Shangshu, you'd better prepare the toll now.

The horses are 100 wen, and the siege chariot larger than the carriage is 200 wen for the whole journey.

In the future, if Tang Shangshu doesn't want to take the toll, then please take a detour, don't say that the king didn't inform you at that time. ”

(I predict that some people will think that Ma Zhou and them are a bit of a degraded person,

But often that's the reality,

A certain person who made our merchants take money and do something. The businessmen take it with a certain one. It's a joy to do.

The following year, a certain successor discussed it with us, and we asked,

A certain said: You have a lot of money, it doesn't matter. ）
