In the end, Dai Zhou and Wei Zheng negotiated and finalized the deal with a total price of six billion taels.
Yan Lide also designed the bridge accordingly.
He also flew helicopters to the local area to check, and sent people to measure the ocean floor.
To ensure that the subsequent design complies with construction.
If the sea bottom is too soft at one point, you may need to change the route.
This will be an extremely huge project.
Because the news of the bridge construction spread, the people in Dengzhou became very enthusiastic. Many people even actively asked to participate in the construction.
Li Shimin was very happy about this.
However, the subsequent construction will not only require manpower, but also requires mechanical ships, and these ships are not small and require more professional people to participate.
Therefore, the role of the common people can be said to be very small.
Someone suggested moving rocks and the like.
But Shengtang Group has excavators and trucks, so no one is needed at all.
Some people also proposed to dedicate their own fields, but the building materials required by the Shengtang Group were very demanding.
Ordinary things are not enough.
In the end, the people felt that neither this nor that would work.
Therefore, we can only spontaneously organize food delivery to the people of Shengtang Group.
Is this always okay?
But Shengtang Group doesn’t want it.
Although they don't want it, the people still want to do it, saying that it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is a century-old plan.
As long as there is Shengtang Group, people will feel at ease.
Many literati even wrote a large number of works praising the Tang Dynasty Group.
But when the news reached Li Shimin's ears, he was unhappy.
"What are these people thinking? I asked the Ministry of Industry to take the lead in doing this. How can they thank Shengtang Group?"
Li Shimin was very upset and said to Queen Changsun.
In fact, this is what happens, and no one would be happy if it were anyone else doing this.
Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, because this matter can only be done by the Shengtang Group. This time the Shengtang Group has indeed contributed. If they don't do it, then no one in the world can do it. I
I heard that the bridge this time is very difficult, so they are fully prepared for the next step."
"But, although what you said is right, I still feel unhappy."
"Your Majesty, as long as the economy of the Tang Dynasty is good, it doesn't matter who does it. If it is done by the imperial court, then the people will also turn to the imperial court. The key is who is doing it and who the common people only see.
He is doing things without knowing anything about the existence behind them.”
Queen Changsun's words made Li Shimin feel relieved a little.
It is indeed like this. The common people only have two eyes. What they saw was that the Shengtang Group was working hard to build the bridge, but they did not see anyone from the imperial court appearing in the construction team.
If it were the other way around, the people would definitely turn to Li Shimin.
This is understandable.
Therefore, Li Shimin really does not need to think so much.
"Queen, you are right. I didn't understand it this time, but now I understand it."
Li Shimin said this.
Queen Changsun breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter if he really understands it or not.
It's best to really understand, that would be the best thing.
"Come here, let Dai Zhou enter the palace! I have something to ask him."
Then Li Shimin said again.
Empress Changsun was relieved because Li Shimin would not say anything more on this issue.
Therefore it is good.
"Yes!" After listening to the order, the eunuch left the palace directly.
Hurry and announce Dai Zhou's entry into the palace.
Dai Zhou stayed in Zhongshu Province, which was not far from Tai Chi Palace.
And today he has a lot on his plate.
On top of the original things, Li Shimin imposed many things on him, which made him miserable.
But since Li Shimin said that he would enter the palace, there was no possibility that he would not enter the palace.
So, Dai Zhou arrived in Tai Chi Palace in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?" Dai Zhou asked.
"What happened to the money from Shengtang Group now?"
Li Shimin asked.
It turns out that's what he was asking.
Only when the money is available, the bridge will be built faster.
If there was no money, the bridge would probably stop.
Unlike others, Shengtang Group has no problem with how much money to pay in advance.
Because they are very strict about quality.
As long as the money is in place, Shengtang Group will definitely do better.
Dai Zhou quickly said: "One billion taels of silver have been paid, and now they have started designing. The next step is to prepare a large amount of building materials!"
Li Shimin was very satisfied after hearing this.
This is the speed of Datang.
But to be honest, after giving him the money, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But for the sake of Datang's future economy, he said nothing more.
"Okay, we have a close relationship. The money must be in place. There are still five billion taels that I want you to pay off within one year. There must be no mistakes!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"By the way, about how they constructed the construction..." When Li Shimin said this, he suddenly thought of Duan Lun.
So, he said again: "Let Duan Lun do it!"
"yes!"
The eunuch then went to invite Duan Lun into the palace.
Then Li Shimin talked a lot with Dai Zhou.
Dai Zhou took the order and left Tai Chi Palace.
Then Duan Lun appeared.
"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
"During this period of time, I want you to select construction craftsmen to supervise the construction of the bridge on the surface. In fact, you need to understand how they build the bridge. I want them to learn from it. In the future, we can also build bridges.
!”
It turns out that Li Shimin was thinking about this.
This way, he won't be too passive.
The reason why he did this was because he was too passive in doing things.
Everything is limited by Shengtang Group’s technology.
This made him very uncomfortable.
So, he wanted to do it himself.
In the future, if there is such a bridge, he can let his own people build it.
But in fact, he can hire people who graduated from architecture schools to do this.
But he didn't.
Duan Lunying said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
"Okay, just understand it. Don't make this matter public. Those people have to be trustworthy, you know?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, it's none of your business anymore, just go out and do it."
"Yes!" Duan Lun left, and then Li Shimin's phone rang.
It was Cheng Yaojin who called.
Now Cheng Yaojin is already in Turks, fighting for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin was very happy when he received his call.
"Zhijie, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I want to report some good news to you!" Cheng Yaojin said.
When Li Shimin heard the good news, he became happy.
"Say! What's the matter!"
"Now the various tribes in the Western Turks are in chaos. We have supported some tribes and provided some relatively backward weapons to help them annex other tribes. Now the Turks are in chaos!"
"Very good, how is Ashina Horu doing now?"
Li Shimin was very concerned about Ashina Helu's situation.
But even if Ashina Horu is killed, a new Ashina Horu will appear in the future, but according to Li Shimin's wishes, Ashina Horu must die.
And it is impossible for people from other tribes to join forces again.
The Turks will be dispersed and may be in a stage of rulelessness in the future.
Regarding the Turks, Li Shimin actually did not want to occupy them because it was not necessary.
As long as he develops to the east, that will be enough. There is no need to go west at all.
As long as the west side is good and stable, it will be fine.
He really didn't ask for much else.
"Now that Ashina Helu has been beaten to pieces by us, don't mention how happy he is. I will take this guy's head back to Chang'an and give it to His Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin added.
"The main thing is to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Show the strength of the Tang army."
Li Shimin said again.
"Your Majesty, I understand. I have done a lot in this regard!"
Cheng Yaojin has not fought in many years and is very happy now.
Coupled with the crushing weapons and equipment, this battle made him extremely happy.
"That's great, and I'm relieved."
"This is the result of His Majesty's wisdom!" Cheng Yaojin said.
Li Shimin smiled and said nothing.
"Okay, if you need anything, please tell me as much as possible, you know?"
"Yes! Nachen hung up the phone!"
Wait until Cheng Yaojin hangs up the phone.
Li Shimin called the propaganda personnel again and said: "Go and notify the TV station immediately. There are also newspapers to broadcast the news about the victory of the Tang army. For specific reports, ask Zhijie! Do you understand?"
Li Shimin's purpose in doing this was to publicize his victory, which was a good thing for himself and for Datang.
It's something that can inspire people.
It can make people's hearts boil.
It can also improve Li Shimin's reputation.
This was a good publicity opportunity and he didn't want to miss it.
Therefore, this time was chosen to broadcast the news of victory.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Therefore, relevant propaganda personnel immediately went to write some news about the front line.
And reported the frontline intelligence around the clock.
And these intelligence messages can be seen even by Li Min who is far away in Dongzhou.
Today's technology is different from what it used to be.
It was impossible to see these things before.
Regarding Li Shimin's propaganda, Li Min said, this is very Li Shimin!
But he didn't express anything special.
Because this is a routine operation.
…
When everything is ready.
Li Shimin also had some time to spare.
He did not leave the palace that day, so he drove a helicopter and flew to the Daming Palace with Queen Changsun.
When they arrived at the top floor of Daming Palace.
Look at everything below.
The entire night view project in Chang'an is now very beautiful.
Because of Li Shimin's help, the entire city of Chang'an became very modern.
Li Shimin also liberalized construction, but still restricted the height of buildings. Everything was not allowed to be higher than the Daming Palace.
Moreover, no high-rise buildings are allowed within five miles of Tai Chi Palace.
Because Tai Chi Palace does not allow tall buildings to sandwich Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun stood on the top floor of Daming Palace, looking at everything below.
At this time, night falls, and the night view project of Chang'an City begins to show its unique charm.
Looking down from a high building, the sky is filled with bright lights, like a dynamic and beautiful map.
The magnificent tenement buildings flashed with huge light advertisements, running quickly like meteors piercing the night sky. Walking through the streets and alleys of the city, fluorescent tubes, neon lights, street lights and other lights constructed a gorgeous light curtain, revealing the night sky.
Everything is lively and beautiful.
At this time, there were many scenic spots in Chang'an City.
Eighty percent of these classics were created by Li Minrang.
The fountain in the Bell Tower Square has bright and gorgeous lights, dancing in the wind and swaying shadows, bringing a visual feast to people.
In the Shengtang Group, the musical fountain plays music at the same time, with water splashes and musical notes flying alternately, as delicate and smooth as silk, and the brilliant mercury light jumps down, which is intoxicating.
The artistic water pavilion stands leisurely in the center of the pond. The water ripples and reflects the starry lights. The entire square transforms into a picture of nature.
Looking at everything in front of me, I suddenly felt majestic.
The exquisite reflections displayed by the lights make the night view of the entire Chang'an City magnificent.
Chang'an at night seems to have become a commercial metropolis. Now Chang'an is a gathering place for nightlife and an antique city.
Chang'an Nightscape Project makes the city exude endless charm at night, attracting countless tourists to linger and wander in the night.
The nights here seem to never feel tired and never lose that special charm.
"This Chang'an night view project has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. It makes people feel very comfortable, especially in this night full of joy, which makes people unable to sleep." Li Shimin said with emotion.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. In the past, there were no programs at night, but now we can play till midnight without feeling too late."
Li Shimin also realized this.
"In the words of Shengtang Group, this is called nightlife."
Li Shimin said this.
"Yes, Your Majesty! It's nightlife."
"But problems have also emerged." Li Shimin said again.
"what is the problem?"
"This is tantamount to using the time you used to sleep to complete economic development and exchanging human bodies for prosperity."
Li Shimin is still awake and knows that this model is not good.
But the results obtained are so good that it makes people want to stop.
Because the economy has developed, people's lives have become better.
People no longer spend time sleeping.
But do something useful.
Such as drinking.
Such as studying!
Such as many things.
And these behaviors have indeed played a great role in promoting the economy.
Therefore, nightlife can increase the economic vitality of Datang at least ten times, or even more.
Empress Changsun was shocked by Li Shimin's words.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, but the benefits of nightlife to the economy outweigh the disadvantages. Although it will cost some people's health, it does improve economic development. It provides more employment opportunities and makes people more stable."
"Yes, what you said is correct, but the problem is that our court is also under great pressure. In the past, we only needed a curfew, but now we have to allocate forces to manage these businesses! We also have to prevent some people from doing things that are not conducive to society!
"
Li Shimin said again.
But he quickly added: "However, the result is always good. That guy's idea is really unique, but recently, have you felt that that guy has made less and less improvements in this area?"
