After a long time, Du Ruhui felt a little thirsty and asked: "You said you planned to build such a big road just to make it easier to go to Jiannan Road?!"
At this moment, Du Ruhui suddenly felt as if his world view had been impacted.
Over the years, he has met many dandies, and even his youngest son Du He is a famous dandy in Chang'an City.
However, compared with Su Chen's generosity, he felt that the dandies he had seen before were nothing, just like children from poor families playing house!
You know, considering the distance between Chang'an and Jiannan Road, building such a road will definitely take tens of millions of dollars!
However, Su Chen could actually speak so lightly, as if the money was worthless!
Regarding Su Chen's words, His Majesty Li Er also frowned slightly.
Didn't he just put all the money in the cabinet?
Moreover, the Liuli money is still with him. Where did Su Chen get so much money to build roads?
When he thought of this, His Majesty Li Er was shocked!
Is Su Chen planning to ask him for Liuli's money?!
However, he had just used the money for military expenses, and it was impossible to spend such a huge sum of money all at once.
So, His Majesty Li Er quickly spoke to persuade: "Well, you should listen to my advice. Such a big project requires too much money. Let's talk about it later. There is no need to waste money for such a trivial matter.
"
"Don't worry, Lao Li, it's not difficult for me to make money."
Su Chen smiled and said: "Just in time, I'm going to do a big business recently, would you like to consider cooperating?"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er was very happy.
You know, every time Su Chen makes money, he can make a lot of money. How could he let go of such a good thing?
"Okay, what good ideas do you have this time?"
His Majesty Li Er had a bright smile on his face and was looking forward to it.
"Okay! Then we will discuss this in detail when we get back!"
On the side, Du Ruhui was extremely horrified!
What is the origin of this young man named Su Chen?!
He actually dared to address His Majesty directly as Lao Li!
Moreover, looking at His Majesty's behavior, he seems to be happy for Su Chen to call him that!
…
Soon, the carriage drove back to Sujiazhuang.
"Old Li, do you know the wood and stone dealer?" Su Chen asked.
"I know you, does this have anything to do with the way you mentioned about making money?"
His Majesty Li Er was very curious, why did Su Chen suddenly ask this? Is there still a big market for wood and stone materials in the Tang Dynasty?
"Okay! That's easy!"
Su Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm going to do something big!"
"How to say?"
Seeing Su Chen like this, His Majesty Li Er was even more excited. It seems that Su Chen really has a way to make a lot of money this time!
"I want to buy all the wood and stone in Chang'an City!" Su Chen said proudly.
"Why?"
His Majesty Li Er asked a little strangely: "Why did you buy such building materials? Do you want to build a house?"
"It's almost like building a house, but I don't want to build it."
Su Chen took a sip of tea and continued: "It's Li Er who wants to build a house. I'm going to sell all the building materials to him to make a huge profit from him!"
"Tax is approaching recently, I guess this sheep is getting fat!"
Cough cough cough!
Hearing what Su Chen said, Changsun Wuji and the others who were drinking tea almost choked to death, and the corners of His Majesty Li Er's mouth twitched slightly.
"Why...why do you have such an idea?!" Changsun Wuji asked in confusion.
"This?"
After looking around, Su Chen then said mysteriously: "Old Sun, we are all on our own, so I will tell you this secret!"
"If my guess is right, Li Er will probably build a palace in the near future!"
"When the time comes, I will sell him the building materials I purchased at a minimum of twice the price. I will definitely make a huge profit!"
If Su Chen remembered correctly, it would have been the time for Li Er to prune the Daming Palace recently.
And now Li Erke is richer than recorded in history, he is definitely extremely rich!
There was nothing I could say about letting go of such a good opportunity!
"ah?"
His Majesty Li Er came to his senses and asked: "Where did you get this news?!"
It seemed that what Su Chen said was true, but...why didn't he know that he was going to build a palace?!
The historical records are indeed good, but those things only happened when His Majesty Li Er's treasury was rich.
But now, His Majesty Li Er has spent all the money on fighting, so he has not thought of building a palace.
"Yes, we also know some things about the court, but there seems to be no such news at all. Is this what your elders said again?" Wei Zheng said.
"What?!"
"That shouldn't be the case. Is Li Er letting a good Feng Shui treasure like Longshouyuan sit in the dust?"
Su Chen touched his chin, a little confused.
According to historical records, the construction of the Daming Palace should have started this year and was completed in the eighth year of Zhenguan.
Could it be that the historical records are not accurate enough?!
Just as Su Chen was thinking secretly, His Majesty Li Er on the side also immediately remembered something.
It seems that he really wanted to build a palace in Longshouyuan the year before last, but Wei Zheng refuted it. Furthermore, he had been busy fighting wars and dealing with state affairs recently, so he forgot about this idea.
However, His Majesty Li Er was very unhappy. Why was Su Chen thinking about cheating him every day?!
"Su Xiaoyou, why do you always want to trick the current emperor?"
"With your ability, you shouldn't need to do this, right?"
Hearing this, Su Chen sighed and said, "Old Li, what you said is wrong."
"How can I call this a trap? I am clearly doing this for the Tang Dynasty!"
"Originally, he should be the emperor to do things like building roads. Now I am kind-hearted and help him get everything done."
"At that time, when the road was built, I did not use it privately, but directly used it for public use. Not only did it facilitate the people, but I didn't charge them a penny."
"You think, can I be considered a trap?"
Hearing this, Du Ruhui, who had a dark face at first, nodded. Su Chen's words were indeed correct.
If he repairs the road and gives it to the people for free, it will definitely be a great thing for the people.
The benefits of this cannot be explained immediately.
"Okay, don't worry about the current Saint. I guess there won't be anything like what you said in the near future. You should think of other ways to make money."
His Majesty Li Er looked at Su Chen with a somewhat unkind look. If he hadn't been there every time, he would have been tricked by Su Chen so many times!
"Okay, okay
"No, I can't let Li Er go no matter what!"
Su Chen's attitude was very resolute and said: "Even if I pay for the road construction myself first, I still have to harvest some wool from Li Er later!"
