Regarding Duan Lun's arrival, Li Shimin's expression was not very good.
"Duan Lun, what's wrong? Why did you come to the palace to see me again?"
Needless to say, there must be something big going on.
Nothing good has happened to this guy these few times he has entered the palace.
Duan Lun also didn't want to go to the palace to talk to Li Shimin about these things.
But sometimes, these things need to be said.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to convince himself.
And if the problem is not solved, the problem will remain there.
When it breaks out one day, no one will be able to bear the responsibility.
So, Duan Lun is here again.
"Your Majesty, I have something to do!"
Li Shimin said: "You just came yesterday. I finally had a rest just now. What can you do?"
"Your Majesty, it's about transportation."
Duan Lun said.
Li Shimin was puzzled.
"What about traffic? Isn't the traffic very good now? Moreover, this traffic issue seems to have nothing to do with your Ministry of Industry.
Isn’t there a special transportation department?” Li Shimin said instead.
"It has nothing to do with it, but it is also related." Duan Lun said again.
"Okay, tell me what it is."
Li Shimin didn't want to get impatient with him.
"Your Majesty, the size of Chang'an City has reached its maximum today. Its current size is more than fifty times that since you ascended the throne!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt very happy.
This paragraph really speaks volumes.
"Isn't that great? The economic growth of Datang today is not just a little bit, but thousands of times higher than it was more than ten years ago."
Li Shimin said with some pride.
"Yes, your Majesty is wise! And this is where the problem lies." Duan Lun said again.
"What's the problem? This is a good thing."
Li Shimin couldn't think of any harm.
A developed economy would be beneficial to Chang'an as a whole and even the Tang Dynasty, but from Duan Lun's point of view, this was not a good thing.
Duan Lun kept talking: "Because the economy has developed, buildings are constantly being built. This month alone, Shengtang Group has built more than ten buildings, and each building occupies a huge area."
.
When the people got rich, they also built buildings, and the imperial court also built many buildings.
This creates a problem: there are too many buildings, and the roads simply cannot bear the traffic of so many people. In addition, in recent years, there have been more rich people and more cars, so the current traffic is not good at all.
And building roads is also a matter of our Ministry of Industry, so this traffic problem has always been difficult for me. Therefore, I came to see your majesty to ask your Majesty to see if you have any opinions."
Listening to what Duan Lun said, it seems that this problem is very serious.
It must be solved.
"In the past, when there were no cars, it would take more than an hour to walk from the east to the west of the city. But now that we have cars, there is no improvement in walking from the east to the west of the city."
Duan Lun said.
This problem is very acute.
The traffic problem needs to be solved.
Otherwise, Chang'an City will be overwhelmed.
This was a bad start for Datang.
"When the road was built, didn't you think of making it wider?" Li Shimin asked instead.
Duan Lun smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the roads at that time were wide enough, but it is different now. The whole city is developing too fast, and the original roads are simply not enough."
The previous plan is the previous one.
Now is the present.
"And because many buildings are on the side of the road, they cannot demolish them casually. And a large part of them are the assets of the imperial court."
Duan Lun said that Li Shimin originally wanted to demolish it, but now he has changed his attitude.
Now there are cars on the ground and subways underground.
At this time, Li Shimin said: "I think we should encourage people to take the subway more, so that they can reach their destination quickly."
"But we still can't go to some places. We still have to drive." Duan Lun continued.
Li Shimin has no solution.
But he thought about it and said, this is wrong. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Why do you ask me to find a solution? This is unreasonable.
So, he said with a straight face: "You have to come up with a solution for this matter. Don't ask me how I know what you are going to do. I will have a complete plan tomorrow night! Do you understand?"
Duan Lun is about to cry.
I wanted to ask Li Shimin how he did it, but now it's better. Li Shimin couldn't figure it out at all and asked him to find a way.
So what should we do?
He still has to find a way.
"Your Majesty, minister..."
Duan Lun looked very embarrassed.
"What? You can't do it anymore? This is the matter of your Ministry of Industry." Li Shimin said again.
Duan Lun is about to cry.
But he brought it up and he has to deal with it.
But it would be impossible not to mention it.
This thing will always be there.
So, he is in a dilemma now.
Li Shimin said: "Aren't you very familiar with Di Renjie? You can ask him."
Li Shimin's words gave Duan Lun a way out.
Now everyone has formed a habitual thinking, that is, if there is something that cannot be handled, then go to Shengtang Group, go to Li Min, and if Li Min is not free, then go to Di Renjie.
Anyway, they believe that there will be a way.
"Yes, then I will go find Di Renjie now!"
"Go ahead and come see me tomorrow. Don't come back for a while." Li Shimin said.
He finally had time to rest, how could he let Duan Lun ruin it?
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Duan Lun said.
Then he left the palace, and as soon as he left, Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun came out from behind.
As for Duan Lun, he went directly to Tanglou to find Di Renjie.
And he told Di Renjie everything he said to Li Shimin.
After hearing this, Di Renjie frowned.
Because he has no choice.
This is a difficult problem.
So, he said: "Duan Lun, I really can't do anything about this."
"Ah? Is there anything in this world that you, Di Renjie, can't do?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Duan Lun asked in confusion.
Di Renjie said: "I am not omnipotent. No one can handle this matter except Mr."
"What? This matter..."
Duan Lun didn't know what to say.
Because Di Renjie said he wouldn't handle it.
Then I'm afraid it's just Li Min.
But if I look for Li Min at this time, I don’t know if Li Min is free.
So he asked again: "Di Renjie, can you contact me sir?"
Di Renjie said: "This matter is about urban planning. You should have a plan, but you may not have time. I will contact him and see. If he doesn't have time, then there is nothing I can do!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Then Di Renjie picked up the phone and called Li Min.
After a while.
Di Renjie said: "Duan Lun, sir, I'm out. I don't have time now. I won't have time until about nine o'clock in the evening. What do you think about coming back in the evening?"
"Otherwise, I'll wait for you sir in the corridor on the top floor? Is that okay?" Duan Lun said.
Now he must wait until Li Min.
We can't wait until night to come back. If we come back at night, Li Min may run away again.
Once Li Min ran away, he probably wouldn't see anyone again today.
Who keeps Li Min so busy?
"It's up to you, but the corridor is very cramped, are you sure?"
Di Renjie said this.
"I'm sure, I have to see you sir today no matter what. This matter is very urgent. If I don't get the answer, I may not be able to explain it to His Majesty tomorrow."
Duan Lun said.
Di Renjie sympathized a little with Duan Lun and the officials who served in the imperial court, especially those who worked with Li Shimin.
Because they are tortured by Li Shimin every day.
As soon as Li Shimin wanted to do something, he would do it, no matter who he was.
Just like what happened today.
So Duan Lun was also afraid, so he wanted to stay here and wait for Li Min.
"It's okay, as long as you can sit down!"
Duan Lun said.
It was only noon at this time, which meant that he would have to wait here until nine o'clock in the evening.
Di Renjie said: "Yes, I will arrange a seat for you."
"Thank you!"
"Won't!"
"Okay, I'll go to the top floor and wait for you sir!"
Duan Lun finally got on the elevator and reached the top floor.
When he arrived at the top floor, many people passed by, holding a large number of documents in their hands, and they placed the documents in Li Min's office.
He had only been there for an hour, and as many as fifty people passed by him.
So how many things does Li Min have to deal with at the end of the day?
However, he had heard that Li Min was no longer in charge and had been handed over to Di Renjie and Wei Zheng.
But so what?
Duan Lun has been waiting here and waiting.
I waited until after seven o'clock in the evening.
At this time the elevator rang.
He stared at the elevator.
When the elevator door opened, he smiled.
Because the person inside is Li Min.
He finally waited until Li Min.
You know, he waited for more than seven hours.
Now Li Min has finally arrived.
"Sir, you are finally back."
"Duan Lun? What are you doing here?" Li Min asked.
Duan Lun has not been seen for a long time.
Li Min also heard from Di Renjie about coming here this time.
So, he already understood it in his heart.
"Sir, are you free?" Duan Lun asked.
"Yes, I'll give you half an hour!"
Li Min said.
"Thank you sir!"
"Let's go inside and talk, don't sit here."
Then Li Min walked to the front.
Duan Lun followed behind him.
Duan Lun felt a little uneasy.
When he walked to Li Min's office, he was completely stunned.
Because it has been renovated, everything is full of technology.
And there are many places inside.
It was full of people.
It turns out that so many documents were sent here for these people.
No wonder.
He thought Li Min had to deal with so many things.
Obviously, there is something wrong with my own cognition.
"Sir, isn't this your office?"
Duan Lun asked.
"Yes, it's my office. It's just that this whole floor is too big, and I let some of the core staff work together. My office is right in front, and I've separated one room from another."
Li Min said.
Doing so can indeed provide better control over managers.
At the same time, since Li Min has never been in the Tanglou, it is natural for them to do things here.
And it's also because all the tenement buildings are full, except for the top floor.
But these things cannot be discussed with Duan Lun.
After telling Duan Lun, Li Shimin will know tomorrow.
"Sit inside and tell me how the situation is," Li Min said.
"Yes, sir!"
So, the two of them walked to the office cubicle inside, which was an office made of glass. They could see everything outside.
It is a bit difficult to see inside from the outside.
"Sir, what is this?"
Duan Lun asked, pointing to the people outside the office.
"This is an open office, which can enhance everyone's understanding and make everyone more team spirit."
Li Min explained.
Duan Lun secretly remembered it.
Tomorrow, Li Shimin will definitely know these things.
"Sit!" Li Min said after the two walked into the office.
"Yes, sir!"
Duan Lun sat down with some fear.
"Tell me, what is it specifically?"
"Sir, now the Tang Dynasty has become larger in size, with numerous buildings and an overwhelming number of cars, but the roads in Chang'an are still too small and cannot bear such a large amount of traffic.
Some areas are blocked every day and are so blocked that it makes people's lives very difficult. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry wants to deal with this matter and solve it so that traffic can flow smoothly."
After hearing this, Li Min came up with some solutions.
So, he said: "I have some plans here that can make traffic flow smoothly without changing the existing roads. Do you think you need them?"
"Okay, sir, please tell me!" Duan Lun was very happy. If something can be solved without spending money, it is of course the best.
"First, optimize the transportation system, reduce car travel, increase bus routes, increase the number of buses, increase density, and encourage people to use buses more."
Li Min said.
Duan Lun asked: "What about reducing car travel?"
"I have an idea that you can refer to. For some particularly congested areas, we can adopt the method of restricting traffic to odd and even numbers, determined by date. The first number is an odd number, and the second number is an even number."
"In this case, the number of cars can be reduced by at least half!" Duan Lun exclaimed, "This is great."
"Yes, the second one is to encourage other means of transportation, such as bicycles, trams, etc. These tools can be used especially for short distances."
"Yes, sir, I have written it down."
"Third, by promoting shared travel, we can build a platform for people with the same purpose to ride in the same car, reducing the number of cars."
"Sir, this is wonderful." When Duan Lun heard this suggestion, he said it was incredible.
"Another point is to move prosperous areas away. This can alleviate traffic problems even more."
All problems lie in prosperity.
If there are more prosperous areas, cars will naturally flow there. If the traffic flow is averaged, there will be no more cars in some places and less cars in others.
"Yes! What you said is absolutely true. These can indeed solve many problems, but do you have other methods? For example, widening the road!" Duan Lun said.
Li Min thought for a while and found a solution.
It depends on whether the court wants to spend the money.
