Li Ke got up early in the morning, he looked at the clothes on his body, and finally chose to change into the prince's clothes worn on formal sacrificial occasions.

There are different occasions for the use of different costumes in the Tang Dynasty, for example, everyone in the last dynasty was in court clothes, except for Li Shimin, the prince and the ministers were the same, they were all court clothes.

On major festivals such as sacrifices, the prince and the crown prince have their own clothes, and no one cares about daily life, so you can wear whatever you want.

But there is only one point, that is, the kind of plain (white) ancient costumes worn by the chivalrous and handsome male protagonists in many film and television dramas in later generations are not worn by anyone in the Tang Dynasty...... It's not that you don't wear white, but white clothes must have other colors to match.

If there is only one kind of pure clothing, filial piety.

Today's occasion is important and not important.

It is important because it can be said that the dividing line of the Tang Dynasty in a certain aspect, perhaps later historians and economists will say when they comment on this day that from today on, the history of the Tang Dynasty will be divided into two paragraphs, especially the history of economics will be divided into two paragraphs.

Because although Li Ke has begun to carry out some modern economic behaviors before, in fact, this time it is really open to the public.

Today is not a morning day, nor is it a day off, although most of the officials have time to go to the sidelines, but everyone maintains a tacit understanding, no one goes.

But they all sent their own housekeepers and the like.

For the people, today's day is different, since the early morning, people have begun to gather outside the Jinguang Gate, and with the passage of time, the number of people is also increasing.

However, the guards also came very early, mainly to avoid stampede, and after Li Ke came for a while, to avoid His Royal Highness King Qin not being able to enter.

Li Yan and Wu Jue arrived early, and they stood in the front row with guards to take care of them, and Li Ke could be seen from here for a while, but there were also a lot of people around them, and they would not attract the attention of others, and they were guarded in front of them, and if there was a situation, the guards could also protect the two of them as soon as possible.

A quarter of an hour from the opening time, Li Ke appeared outside the Jinguang Gate, a high platform has been built next to this big stone, after seeing Li Ke, all the people were a little excited, but at the same time, everyone restrained themselves, and everyone made way for Li Ke.

After all, they haven't forgotten their identities, and they also know that although Li Ke is good to all of them, he is a prince after all, and if it is too crowded, it will hurt His Highness, and it will not be good to ruin His Highness's affairs.

Li Ke climbed the high platform next to the stone, and looked up, the surrounding area was densely packed with people, after all, spring plowing had not yet begun, and most of the people had nothing to do in their homes, so there were a lot of people coming today, and at least tens of thousands of people gathered around.

Jinguangmen is estimated to be unable to enter and exit today, but fortunately, Li Ke prepared a shouting guard in advance to pass on what he said to all directions.

"Hello everyone! I'm Li Ke! Li Ke first said hello to everyone loudly.

"Hello, His Royal Highness King Qin!" There was a response from the crowd below, and there was no need to think about it, this must be the people who Li Ke had hired for a long time, and they knew Li Ke's character.

With someone taking the lead, soon the good voice of His Royal Highness King Qin spread in all directions.

Li Ke raised his hand and made a downward pressing motion, and the scene immediately fell silent.

"Today, I am here, mainly for one thing, that is, to unveil this official road made of concrete from Jinguangmen all the way to Datang Industrial Park, because this is the starting point of Datang official road, but it is definitely not the end!"

"What is the road? I believe that many people do not know, and many people do not understand, but I believe that all people understand one thing, that is, the road is easy to walk, whether it is traveling, pulling goods, or daily walking, it is convenient! ”

What does this mean? It means one thing, if you want to get rich, build roads first! ”

"If you want to live a good life, the road is indispensable! It's like all of us know that Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky. So if there is such an official road under my feet from the land of Shu that extends to Chang'an, is it possible that a lot of grain, silk and linen in Shu can be pulled to Chang'an at a lower price for sale, and some medicinal materials, fruits, etc., can be transported. ”

"And if Shuzhong, or even the location to the south of Shuzhong, if there is an enemy invasion, the army of Datang can rely on the official road to quickly reach all directions of Datang, which shows the importance of the official road!"

"Why do I say this official road is special? Because everyone knows that in the past, the construction and maintenance of official roads were often maintained by the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty, but this official road is not! Including the previous renovation of Chang'an City, it was also not paid for by the Tang Dynasty. ”

"So who paid for it? I know a lot of people say it's me, but it's really not! ”

"Today I'm going to tell you who paid for it!" Li Ke's words were spread from the shouting guards to all directions!

Speaking of this, Li Ke turned around and directly pulled a prepared rope, and with Li Ke's strength, the live buckle tied in advance was instantly untied, and then the red silk silk covering the stone fell instantly, and everyone's eyes looked over, and then the three big characters of "Zhongshang Road" appeared in the middle of the stone.

In the lower section, the names of all the merchants who donated to build the road and renovate Chang'an City are also engraved in small letters.

"I named this road: Zhongshang Road, because it was donated by 93 patriotic businessmen from 82 merchant families in the Tang Dynasty, 5.73 million yuan! Then, with the 2 million yuan compensation handed over to me by the Zheng family of Xingyang, all the roads in Chang'an City and this official road were renovated and built, and a total cost of 8,134,206 guan and 742 wen! ”

Li Ke spat out an astonishing number from his mouth.

There was an uproar among the people around them, they didn't know about these things. If it hadn't been for His Highness, they would probably never have known.

All of a sudden, all the people began to talk about it, it turned out that there were still such patriotic businessmen in the world.

And Wu Jue in the crowd was stunned, more than eight million! Almost close to the annual income of the national treasury, it was actually donated by people? This...... How did Your Highness do this? Those businessmen Wu Jue knew very well that they were all unprofitable people who couldn't afford to be early, and they were willing to donate so much money!

In the same crowd, the heads of the gate valve family and other families who came over today were stunned for a moment, they finally understood how Li Ke built these roads, no wonder they couldn't figure out where Li Ke got so much money anyway.
