Han Chaozong, who was the Jingzhao Yin at that time, had reached his twilight years of his political career. If nothing unexpected happens, he will not be allowed to be an official. He also regards Jingzhao Yin as his last journey to rule the country. Therefore, the heavy responsibilities he shoulders this time must be done well.

"Jingzhao, where are you going?" asked respectfully the soldier who was guarding him.

"Go to Xuanpingfang, the prince's guest will greet Zhizhang's house." Han Chaozong said.

With the help of soldiers, he got on the horse. At this time, it was the Tang Dynasty. The sedan chair was ridden by women and women. Most of the officials, whether they were civil or military officials, rode horses or rode horses. When the Han Dynasty clan got on the horse, the dust slashed over his face, which made his hair and beard slightly yellow. Others covered their faces with their sleeves, but he remained motionless.

"Go." He spit out a word clearly, and he urged the horse to start moving forward.

At the moment, he began to think about the appointment he wanted to go to. Because of his old age, He Zhizhang has been addicted to cultivating immortals and visiting Taoism for many years, so he only held a nominal empty position such as the prince guest. However, because He Zhizhang and Li Shizhi have a good relationship, in the eyes of Han Chaozong, He Zhizhang is also his fellow traveler.

"I suddenly invited me to the door today and said it was a new good wine... But why did he invite Zuo Prime Minister, but me?"

Han Chaozong couldn't help but think of Li Yun's visit the day before yesterday. Li Yun was moved by Lu Qi. After all, he felt that he had to kill Ye Chang's spirit and let him hit a wall, so he would know the beauty of power and be able to bow down in the future, so he deliberately blocked Ye Chang's game. However, the reason Li Yun said to Han Chaozong was high-sounding, only that the people in the city were uneasy because of the opening of the canal, and that the act of gathering people should be forbidden. Especially for the rogues in the market, they should pay attention to the sensational situation in the near future.

Han Chaozong deeply agreed with this. The matter of the canals must be demolished and immigrated. The interests are complicated and the capital is particularly troublesome. If it cannot be protected, someone will cause trouble behind the scenes, so that he, the Jingzhao Yin, can't continue to do it, so that he can replace his own accomplices.

Right Prime Minister Li Linfu is not a good match, that is, Li Shizhi's rough temperament is not careful, while Han Chaozong is much more cautious.

At that time, Li Feng specifically said that He Zhizhang is so stupid this year that he may be entrusted by someone to come to ask him for love. He must pay attention. If there are some city foxes and clubs behind him, he must have to take responsibility for it.

Sure enough, the next day, He Zhizhang invited his husband Yu to meet him, saying that it was the newly obtained Sanlejiu and good wine, but in fact there must be something to ask for. This made Han Chaozong feel worried. On the one hand, Li Linfu's party was eyeing him, but on the other hand, such a thing happened between the people inside him!

"Jingzhao is really shining." After packing up his thoughts, Han Chaozong heard He Zhizhang smile.

"Why did Mr. He say this? Mr. He has always been full of friends here. It was because Han was invited to be lucky."

The hustle and bustle are etiquette and an inevitable way to get closer to friendship. After a few words, He Zhizhang began to introduce the people around him. The first one was Yan Zhenqing. Han Chaozong knew about this person, so he nodded. Then he introduced Ye Chang, who had no fame or official position, but was so young. If he hadn't known that He Zhizhang had always liked to reward the younger generation, Han Chaozong would almost suspect that he was a junior among He Zhizhang's relatives.

"Please sit, please sit!"

He was invited into the door but did not enter the house. Perhaps because the weather was hot and stuffy, everyone sat in a corner of the yard, which was a shade. Han Chaozong just sat on it and said in surprise: "Hello, what is this ground...?"

"Haha, this is the root cause of my invitation to Jingzhao here." He Zhizhang said with a smile.

When Han Chaozong stepped on, he felt something was wrong with the ground, like a floor tiles, but it was a whole piece, like a stone, but it didn't have the heavy and hard feeling of the stone. Because it was washed with water, the ground was very clean, and because it was under the shade of the trees, it was not directly shining by the sun, and it was still cooler when stepped on it.

Han Chaozong simply took off his shoes, stepped on the ground with his socks, walked back and forth a few steps, and raised his head: "Why is this thing? He Gong summoned me to come for this thing?"

"This matter is for Xiaoyou Ye." He Zhizhang smiled.

Han Chaozong turned to Ye Chang. This young man was extraordinary in appearance and not only handsome, but more importantly, he had a sense of a sense of elegance. In the impression of Han Chaozong, he had only seen this temperament in another person - no, it was another and a half of him. That person was Li Mi, and half was Li Bai.

The feeling of Han Chaozong for Li Mi is a terrifying life, but the feeling of Li Bai is a pity.

"Han Jingzhao, a man from a countryside, came to Chang'an because he had something to do in Beijing." Ye Chang did not go straight to the point, but took a turn: "Chang'an City is worthy of being the capital of my Tang Dynasty. Zhang Heng was reborn, and Zuo Si was resurrected. It is probably difficult to give two capitals and three capitals."

Zhang Heng in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Zuo Si in the Jin Dynasty were both famous for their poems and poems. Their two capitals and three capitals were described in the description of the city at that time. However, the two capitals and three capitals in their works were far inferior to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Ye Chang said this, and Han Chaozong was calm, but he gave Ye Chang an evaluation in his heart: "I am a big talker!"

This is definitely not a good review.

Ye Chang said again: "However, I found that there was a regret in Chang'an City. If it was not decided for many years, it was a road problem. The dust flew during drought, which made it difficult to suffocate. When the rain accumulated water and became a depression, it caused the flood. The root cause was that it was just a mud paving the ground. Although it was repaired at all times, it could not be cured."

Hearing this, Han Chaozong's eyebrows moved slightly and he immediately looked at Ye Chang with admiration.

The roads in Chang'an City are indeed a big trouble, and Han Chaozong has a deep understanding of this. After taking office, he paid great attention to checking the previous archives and records, and knew that dust and waterlogging would cause personnel injuries almost every year, and it would cause heavy waterlogging once a few years, causing great casualties.

"What do you mean to use this item to pave Chang'an Street?" Han Chaozong finally spoke.

"That's right, I know that what Jingzhao is worried about is that this thing is expensive and difficult for the court to bear. But I think that although it is expensive to pave the road with this thing at a time, the daily maintenance cost is far lower than that of today's dirt roads, and the convenience brought by it is even better than that of today's dirt roads. In terms of the total price, it is still more convenient to use this thing."

At this time, He Zhizhang also interjected: "Can you know how much does it cost to spend this small half of the yard in my home in Jingzhao?"

"Please give me some advice." Han Chaozong looked at the ground where the soil cement was laid in the yard again, and then asked.

"If we only look at the materials, it will cost less than five cents." He Zhizhang laughed.

This price surprised Han Chaozong. He originally thought that it would cost at least dozens of cents to spend this half of the yard, but it turned out to be less than five cents!

"If it is used on a large scale, the price will only be lower, because the materials used are originally something that is not worth much. But the labor costs will not be less. I asked the price of the plasterers in Chang'an City, and then roughly estimated that, like Zhuque Street, each shop is 1 zhang, the entire cost is about two cents of money..."

"Two sects?"

"This is to count all the materials and labor."

Han Chaozong was silent. Zhuque Street was 1,700 feet long, and each meter was spent 2 jin of money, so the whole road would cost 3,400 jin. The annual treasury income of the Tang Dynasty is about 30 million jin, but today, it is very difficult to maintain the treasury. In addition, this is just Zhuque Street. There are nine north and south mountain streets in the entire Chang'an City. Although the rest of the streets are not as wide as Zhuque Street, most of them are longer than Zhuque Street. In this way, Zong Street only costs more than 30,000 jin. In addition, the number of Hengjie Streets and Fangnei Streets is probably going to be more than 100,000 jin.

The Tang Dynasty could take out the money, but after it was taken out, it would be difficult for other places to go.

"It's still too expensive." Han Chaozong sighed.

Ye Chang smiled, smiling but not saying anything. This expression made Yan Zhenqing next to him extremely anxious. He understood Ye Chang's intention and used the method of offering soil and cement to exchange for the convenience of Han Chaozong in the football match. But now Han Chaozong has rejected his proposal, and Ye Chang didn't find a way to convince him, but shut up. What is this?

"What, did Langjun Ye still have a strange plan?" Han Chaozong couldn't help asking when he saw Ye Chang's appearance.

"What Mr. Han is worried about is not that the cost is expensive, but that the court cannot afford the money for the time being. This year, the court will open the canal again to facilitate the entry of Shandong grain into Beijing. Princess Wei was in charge of this matter, and Mr. Han also made the inconvenient storage and transportation of timber in Chang'an City, and wanted to open the water channel to facilitate the entry of Nanshan timber into the city. Both of these items are very financially consuming, so Mr. Han had no intention of engaging in other timber-but so?"

"This is indeed the case." Han Chaozong nodded.

These two projects require a huge amount of manpower and material resources. The court had already suffered from underpaying for years. Han Chaozong had a deep understanding of this, so he would not spend money to build roads. People in Chang'an have been patient with the flying dust for a long time. What's the harm in enduring it?

Ye Chang said again: "Han Gong felt that the court was a little inadequate to make ends meet, which made many things that were beneficial to people's livelihood impossible to implement, right?"

"yes."

"Han Gong thinks that in addition to being used on roads, this cement is used in his own yard, and even replaces floor tiles in his own house. Is it suitable for use?"

Han Chaozong was still a little puzzled and looked at Ye Chang: "Speak straight away if you have something to do."

"Now, only someone knows that although the recipe is simple, if the court wants to control it, there must be not many households in Chang'an City dare to use it. But if the court does not restrict it, it encourages it. If it needs to lay this, each place in the house should be paved, and at the same time, please lay one place on the road..."

"hiss!"

He Zhizhang didn't expect that Ye Chang had this idea. He was so old that he couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.

Ye Chang continued: "Anyone who can afford to pay for a 45-ton yard and floor, and naturally they don't care about having an extra 45-ton yard and street. But if they are directly asked to raise funds, they are afraid that they will be unwilling to accept it and will be ridiculed by the people. But when they turn around, they are taking the initiative to spend money to buy it?"

"For example, Your Majesty said that all officials in the capital have worked very hard this year, so he gave all officials the opportunity to buy this goods at an affordable price. Next, wealthy families in the city will inevitably flock to follow and imitate them, and find ways to buy this goods. But at the beginning, this goods were like salt and iron, and only the court - only the Jingzhao Yin could sell them. The price only needs to be set at a little more than twice the cost. Then, wouldn't the wealthy families in the city lay one place for the court?"

What Ye Chang said was of course the most ideal state. In fact, during the operation process, no matter whether it is loss or the staff are full, it is impossible to be so perfect. But this idea is enough. There are at least tens of thousands of households in Chang'an City. According to Ye Chang's calculation, each household needs to spend about two cents of money to pave the floor, so the same number and the government will have to be paid. In a very short time, it will be able to collect the money to renovate the entire Chang'an road.

"This boy is good at managing finances, so he is really the choice of a capable official!" Han Chaozong looked at Ye Chang with his eyes different again.

He knew that if he really rewarded Emperor Li Longji, he would definitely be able to pass this matter. This was neither a tax increase nor a share of the power of others, but also a way to enrich the treasury. There was almost no resistance in the court for such a thing!

Even though he, Han Chaozong, felt that Ye Chang's plan was as cunning as a merchant and couldn't help but feel disgusted with him, he had to admit that Ye Chang had a good plan, which made him extremely excited!

Especially Ye Chang's words, "Only Jingzhao can sell it", which means that Jingzhao Mansion has more power. Who would despise himself from having too much power?

"If you offer this strategy, you will make great contributions to the country. I will definitely not forget to express my praise to the court." Han Chaozong figured out all this in a short time, and then asked in a harmonious voice: "Whatever you want, just say it, is that my official agrees, and there is still Mr. He here!"

He Zhizhang smiled bitterly, but he didn't know that Ye Chang would take such a big deal!

This is definitely a big deal. Not only did it be a plan for tens of thousands of wealthy families in Chang'an City, but it also made them willing to be happy!

But if He Zhizhang had known that Ye Chang would do such a big deal, he would never have introduced him to Han Chaozong. The wood was so beautiful that the wind would destroy it. Ye Chang was only seventeen years old now and was just a young man. How could he be involved in the official storm?

"The people of a certain countryside do not need to be rewarded by the court. They just intend to promote football plays, intending to hold a football game behind Qinglong Temple three days later. In order to avoid more people, they want to ask Han Gong to arrange for the soldiers to maintain order." Ye Chang said.

For Han Chaozong, who was responsible for the affairs of the capital, this was just a small matter, which could be said to be insignificant. Moreover, Ye Chang also asked him to send troops to maintain order. He could completely control the matter, and there would be no mistakes. Therefore, whether it was He Zhizhang, Zhang Xu, Yan Zhenqing, and Ye Chang, they all believed that Han Chaozong would agree.

Han Chaozong showed a smile on his face. This was the first time he had smiled at Ye Chang.

Ye Chang also smiled.

"No."

Two words were spit out from Han Chaozong's mouth, and Ye Chang's smile suddenly solidified.
