Chapter 1002: One Thousand and One Nights (Part II)

In the case of the possibility of such a policy, the gate valve family is gradually giving up the land.

There is no way, although some of the inheritances in their bones make them reluctant to give up a large amount of land, but they have no way to keep it, so they can only give it up.

Because everyone knows that to go against the court now is to go against His Royal Highness King Qin, to go against His Royal Highness King Qin is to go against the people of the world, and to go against the people of the world is to find death.

At the very least, they don't want to get any support from the people.

Even if it is a big gate valve family like the five surnames and seven wangs, if you don't count the ordinary people they can control or influence, how many members of their own family can there be? At best, it's only in the thousands.

This still has to count everyone such as the old, weak, sick and disabled to have this number, what can these numbers do?

However, although there was no way to keep a large amount of land by buying non-households or hiring tenant farmers, the families still kept a portion of the land that belonged to them.

According to the 100 acres of land of a family in Datang, each family basically retained it according to this amount, and if you don't want to plant, you can buy Kunlun slaves to plant, and there are no non-compiled households in the entire Datang Dynasty, and only Kunlun slaves, Silla maids and other non-compiled households from other countries can be called non-compiled households.

And Kunlun Nu is not bad because of his work, and he is also the first choice.

Fortunately, I heard that the number of Kunlun slaves coming in from Guangzhou Port in Nanyang is very large, and it is said that there are several fleets outside that have been collecting Kunlun slaves everywhere, and for the time being, each family is still enough.

The Zheng family in Chang'an has no land, and it can be regarded as the batch that has completely given up the land, and Zheng Lin currently does not have much available funds in his hands, that is, less than 600,000 yuan, which is still because he has eaten a lot of benefits and dividends with His Royal Highness King Qin in the past two years.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the money, but it has to be said that the assets of the Zheng family in Chang'an have doubled compared to when the Zheng family was separated from Xingyang.

It's just that at present, these wealth are more in the form of shares, etc., and the land and other aspects have almost been reduced to a minimum.

"Go, let someone prepare 500,000 yuan in cash, we will bring it tomorrow, and you can go and inquire and see who else has received the invitation." Zheng Lin quickly made a decision and directly explained to his housekeeper.

Although His Highness said that he didn't like money, and His Highness often didn't accept money on the spot, as long as there was an opportunity, Zheng Lin had to seize it, and the opportunity was for those who were prepared.

What if he had the opportunity to spend the money on the spot this time?

So Zheng Lin still decided to bring the money.

Soon, Zheng Lin's housekeeper came back and brought back the news that Zheng Lin wanted to know.

"Are you saying that not only Your Majesty will go tomorrow, but even the ministers in the entire court will go? And various gate valve families, powerful merchant families, Li Yinan and other people have also been invited? Zheng Lin was a little shocked.

He thought that it was only them who received the invitation, the gate lord families and merchants, after all, His Highness has always been good to these merchants.

But he never expected that the scale of this time would be so large, and even His Majesty and all the prime ministers above the court would have to go over together.

"Yes."

Zheng Lin pondered for a moment, if this is the case, then it means that this matter itself is not ordinary. Looking at the previous activities, among the things that these people participated in together, there was only the military parade on the National Day the year before last.

That military parade was something Zheng Lin had seen, or he had never seen such a shocking event since he knew it.

Zheng Lin originally wanted to say that there was no need to bring money, and His Highness would not have the activity or behavior of collecting money in such a scene, and it would be in vain if the money was brought.

Later, after thinking about it, it was only 500,000 yuan anyway, and it didn't take much space on his body, so Zheng Lin didn't say anything.

The place I went to this time is the place where I heard that the road has been being repaired, and this road repair has always been a high-standard road repair method, and the workers in the later stage of road repair are all professional workers, and there are people guarding the site, and they don't know what kind of road it is.

Could it be that His Highness directly built a cement road from Chang'an City to Chencang? So let these people go over this time, can it be said that they will see the advantages of cement roads and let them pay for the construction of roads?

It's not impossible to build roads, so how do you recoup your investment? Is there a charge? Zheng Lin turned a few thoughts in his mind, all he could think of was the method of road tolling, if several of their families invested in the construction of a road from Chang'an to Luoyang, then the commercial banks and pedestrians along the way from Chang'an to Luoyang would charge fees, it would indeed be a long-term business.

This business can be done.

However, Zheng Lin soon denied this practice, not to mention anything else, it is impossible to just say that it is impossible to charge fees for all pedestrians, and His Royal Highness is not allowed to have roads that affect the lives of the people. Zheng Lin saw this very clearly.

Forget it, what do you want to do with this, you will know when you go to the scene tomorrow, at present, he Chang'an Zheng also has certain assets, and he has also united a group of well-connected families, if it is really a road, according to this three-hundred-mile road, it is not impossible to repair.

When Zheng Lin and the others were curious, several villages along the Weishui River received notices.

"What? Zhang Erhe, are you sure Your Highness said that we can go to the nearby to watch the ceremony? The village chief of Maquan Village asked anxiously.

"Of course, Your Highness said, thanks to everyone's help in patrolling in the past two years, there has been no opportunity for some people with intentions, and now that the road has been repaired, of course everyone can check it nearby tomorrow, but you must not board the road, because tomorrow the road is a brand new road, and it may be dangerous." Zhang Erhe is a member of the security force in charge of Maquan Village.

"Haha, understood, don't worry, we must know, to be honest, this has been guarded for two years, and we are all very curious, what kind of road is this, tomorrow everyone in our village will be very interested, anyway, now the busy farming time has passed." The head of Maquan Village was very happy.

That's right, this road has been built for more than two years, and from the beginning, these villages along the way have been involved, and the villagers have helped to make a lot of money in the construction of the road, not to mention, and His Royal Highness told them in the later stage that he hoped that they could help look at the sides of the road, and it was strictly forbidden for any stranger to approach the road.

The road is to be kept strictly secret and cannot be made public until it is successfully constructed.

For this reason, the villages along the road have also set up a special road protection team to patrol day and night, just for fear that some people with ulterior motives will break in! And they themselves have never been in to see it.

Now they are also curious, what is in this road, is it the same cement road as Chang'an City? If that's the case, that's great!

Of course, what none of them knew was that Li Ke wanted to tell them a story, a fairy tale, a fairy tale of one thousand and one nights.
