"This is true?"

"This is a good move for the country and the people!"

"Yes! As the saying goes, how can you have thousands of people in Guangsha to shelter all the poor in the world and be happy!"

"Ha ha……"

All the ministers smiled with satisfaction. If they could sell all the idle land of the family and build cities and houses, they could make a big profit again.

However, the crown prince Zhao Huan and the prince of Yun Zhao Kai frowned.

They all regarded themselves as the future successors of the Song Dynasty, so they hated these court officials who spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but were profit-oriented and harmed the people.

While not understanding why Emperor Huizong of Song was appointing corrupt officials on a large scale, he also felt frustrated for Jiang Chen.

It is believed that loyal ministers like Jiang Chen who serve the country and the people should not be subject to difficulties and persecution by these corrupt officials, and they do not need to compromise on this.

In anger, Prince Yun Zhao Kai couldn't help asking Jiang Chen: "Master Jiang, do you mean that all people who deposit money can get such superior treatment? (Is it too cheap for those stolen officials?)"

“Yes, but not exactly!”

Jiang Chen smiled and explained: "As we all know, after the joint efforts of the Jin Dynasty to destroy Liao, our Song Dynasty has been preparing to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Therefore, the official decided to build two cement roads directly from Bianjing to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, one through Luoyang Prefecture and the other through Daming Prefecture and Zhending.

While building roads, reinforce the city walls along the way, build new cities and open rivers according to dangerous terrain.

In this way, even if the Liao people cannot be destroyed, the property of the northern military and civilians can be quickly transferred, and the strategy of clearing the fields can be implemented, and the strong city and vast territory can be used to drag down the enemy. There is no need to worry about the Liao people's counterattack and revenge!"

"Wonderful! This method is very wonderful!"

"This method of the official family can not only speed up the speed of sending troops, save losses along the way, but also prevent problems before they happen! It is really an unparalleled trick to win both sides!"

"Old officials and others admire it! The official family is wise!"

"The official family is wise, I am lucky to be in the Song Dynasty!"

Zhang Shuye and Zheng Juzhong took their heads and praised Song Huizong. Li Gang, Mei Zhili, Chen Cisheng and others were also full of joy.

They were all opposed to Tong Guan and Cai Jing's plan to defeat Liao. They all believed that after the demise of the Liao Kingdom, they would be in danger of losing their lips and teeth. Jiang Chen's suggestion undoubtedly made them feel much more at ease.

As for whether Jiang Chen's actions are to prevent the Liao people or the Jin people, everyone is smart, so there is no need to say it thoroughly, just tacitly.

"Ha ha……"

Song Huizong laughed proudly, and his eyes were filled with praise when he looked at Jiang Chen.

He was originally worried that this would arouse suspicion and dissatisfaction from the Jin people, but since Jiang Chen found a good reason that the Jin people could not find fault, he felt relieved.

Cai Xie was very upset and frowned and looked at Jiang Chen and said, "What is the relationship between the Royal Chamber of Commerce's road construction and the bonus of us? Are you not asking the question?"

"How did your No. 1 pick pass the exam? All the officials said so clearly, but you haven't understood it yet?

Also, why do you only have the benefits of a small family in your eyes? Is it not as important that the country and society have made money as important as you?”

Jiang Chen glanced at Cai Yi with contempt and said, "I ask you, do you know where the prosperous places of the Song Dynasty and the folk grass market will gather?"

"Why are you going to the grass market again?"

Cai Xie looked confused and full of anger!

Many ministers who didn't know how much an egg cost were even confused.

However, Li Gang, who was concerned about the sufferings of the people, suddenly lit his eyes when he heard this and said with a smile: "Any prosperous place must have smooth water trade.

So after the cement road is built and the river is opened, the folk grass market and merchants will definitely gather together in order to facilitate trade and transportation! Once there are too many people, they need to have a place to live and rest."

"Oh! I understand!"

Zhu Yinian and several ministers were all over his thighs at the same time, and his face suddenly said: "As long as we choose a suitable place, build a new city, and build a building on a flat ground, there will definitely be a shortage of supply and cheaper for the people!"

"Not bad! What you guys said!"

Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Cai Su with contempt and said, "Do you understand now?"

"you……"

Cai Xie's face turned pale, and the mocking eyes of the people around him made him look like a ray of light on his back. He couldn't help but say angrily:

"This is just your idea. What if the merchants and Cao Market don't move there, or the scale is insufficient? How many houses can you sell?"

"Cement can be completely solidified in just four hours! In other words, as long as there are enough blue bricks and manpower, a new city can be built overnight.

When the place is available, a Royal Chamber of Commerce processing factory will be established in the city to process wine and salt at low prices for the people and merchants. Do you think no one will go?

Even if the house is not sold and rented out, it is enough to make you make money every day, right?"

Jiang Chen asked with a smile on his face.

"this……"

Cai Xie was stunned and speechless.

The prince Zhao Huan and Prince Yun Zhao Kai were full of praise, and said at the same time: "Master Jiang was very thoughtful. In this way, what should be worried about is not whether anyone will go, but whether the house is enough!"

"good!"

"That's true!"

Everyone smiled expectantly.

Seeing that most of the people showed satisfaction, Jiang Chen relaxed and said, "The specific details will be done as soon as possible when the officials go back. Interested adults can go to Yuqing Villa in two days to discuss it."

His idea was to let the aristocratic families and officials take out all the land and minerals and hand them over to the Royal Chamber of Commerce, which means that he would take care of them in a unified manner to settle the 200,000-box army that he was about to obtain.

However, seeing that Cai Jing had a bad look and a gloomy face, he did not intend to raise it now, so as not to be disturbed by this old treacherous minister.

But even so, Cai Jing didn't plan to let Jiang Chen pass the test safely. Seeing that his younger brothers had no choice but to deal with Jiang Chen, he personally said:

"Jiang Chen, it is inevitable that the Liao Kingdom will be destroyed. At that time, you can just send troops to guard the 16 prefectures of Yanyun. It would be too much to spend your national efforts to build roads and cities, right?

Moreover, if you build a cement road, if the enemy really invades, wouldn’t it provide convenience for others? You can come to the city day and night?"

"Not bad! Cai Xiang's words are reasonable!"

Dozens of ministers including Wang Fu and Jiang Zhiqi immediately agreed.

When Song Huizong heard the four words "army is at the city", hesitated and hesitated.

However, Zhang Shuye glanced at Cai Jing with contempt and said to Song Huizong: "The official family, whether the Liao or Jin people, are mainly cavalry!

Cement Road Minister has seen it, it is hard and smooth, and is not suitable for cavalry passage at all. It will not only damage horses, but also be very dangerous to run or accelerate marching! Cai Xiang is really worried!"

"Yes, it's true! Cement roads are beneficial to infantry, but not to cavalry!"

"If the two armies confront each other on a concrete road, the infantry's disadvantage will be much smaller than that in the plains!"
