Chapter 179        Is this consumed?

"Father-in-law, is this consumption?

That is because you have never thought about using resources reasonably. If you think about it, you will find that this is not only not consumption, but also allows you to make a lot of money!"

Xu Tian said.

"Make a big profit! God! Tell me quickly!"

Li Shimin said in shock.

"First of all, when the soldiers are not fighting, they have to train in the military camp every day, so that they cannot exercise their practical ability!"

"You can regularly let the soldiers organize exercises near the official road, such as long-distance marching and siege simulation, so that the soldiers can train their practical combat capabilities and effectively intimidate the villains."

"Secondly, strict punishments must be formulated. Wherever the official road passes, and the closest to the prefecture and county town, local officials must ensure the safety of the official road."

"Once someone finds that he is robbing his house in the official road, it is a serious crime of raiding the house and extermination of the clan. Once someone reports that the government does not do anything, he will confiscate the house and exterminate the clan!"

"In this way, the official road will become the safest place. Those villains will not dare to rob the house in the official road!"

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

"This... God, you! How did you think of this?"

Li Shimin said in shock.

The methods Xu Tian mentioned are simply the most in line with the current national conditions of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty claimed to have a million troops, but the ones who were truly capable of combat are only more than one hundred thousand, and the rest were some militias.

That is, when there is war, they will wear armor and go to the battlefield to meet the enemy. When there is no war, they will plant crops in the fields like ordinary people.

"Father-in-law, I said it, just because the officials in the court have little knowledge and are all thinking about their own interests and the interests of noble families!"

"If they could understand the principle of having a strong country and a strong people, they would have thought of these methods long ago!"

Xu Tian explained.

"Haha! Son-in-law, you said these things just as an assumption, maybe it's possible, but how much money can you earn based on the official ritual alone?"

Wei Zheng said with a sneer.

"Old Wei, how much wealth do you think the five surnames and Qi Wang have?

How much wealth does aristocrats have?"

Xu Tian asked back.

"The wealth of the five surnames and seven hopes..."

Wei Zheng was speechless. He wanted to say it, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Old Wei, if you don't say it, I know what you think. Any five surnames and seven hopes have the strength to be rich and powerful. Together, the seven can be completely comparable to the court!"

"If all the nobles of the Tang Dynasty's aristocrats were added together, they would be at least ten times the strength of the Tang Dynasty's court!"

"Compared with the people of our Tang Dynasty, the wealth of those nobles of aristocrats combined is just a bucket of water in the pool!"

"Even if the people have very little wealth, each person only has one tael of silver. If there are tens of millions of people in our Tang Dynasty, that is tens of millions of silver!"

"Since my Tang Dynasty has so much wealth, it means that every time those businessmen transport supplies, they earn a lot of money!"

"As long as the official road is repaired and safe, the people will have the idea of ​​doing business. At that time, the official road business will be very good!"

"It's no problem to earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year with a pipeline. What if we practice a few more official paths?"

"Also, the official roads are connected to each other, and at each intersection, there are signs with rough directions. Businesses and travelers can reach the destination they want to go on the official road as long as they keep following the signs and changing directions."

"And, in order to facilitate the food and accommodation of business travelers, we can also build some service areas on the official road in a fixed location, and then rent out the service areas!"

"In the service area, food and accommodation can be very expensive, but it must be safe. There are officers and soldiers guarding the service area, which will be a large amount of money for income!"

Xu Tian said.

this……

Li Shimin began to wonder if his brain was stupid. Why did he even think of so many ideas to make money? Xu Tian thought of it so easily?

"Tian'er, can I tell the current priest Li Shimin about this service area and official road?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

He didn't really want to rebel, so he naturally wanted to implement the proposals from the official road and the service area as soon as possible, but if he did this directly, his identity would be exposed.

"Yeah! Father-in-law! You! You are really scheming and thought of this!"

Xu Tian looked at Li Shimin in shock.

Next, he would talk about how to use the official road and service area to deal with Li Shimin. Then, his father-in-law mentioned it. This old guy's brain is really good!

"Tian'er, what do you mean? Could it be that this is your method to deal with the Lord?"

Li Shimin looked at Xu Tian in shock and asked.

"Of course not. This method is indeed beneficial to the people of the world, but when my father-in-law told the emperor, the emperor did not know the loopholes in it."

"As long as we make good use of it, we can earn a lot of money every year and support our own soldiers!"

"And, as long as we set up all the checkpoints, will it be more convenient when we march at night to attack Chang'an City?"

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

"This! God! You are really meticulous. Tell your father that we must cooperate to get money from the official path!"

Li Shimin said.

"Father-in-law, first of all, the money you get from this official road is called road maintenance fee. Naturally, you have to take out the money to repair the official road. Who knows how much the cost of repairing the official road?"

"At that time, my father-in-law will take over this project through his relationship and cooperate with the officials in charge of the renovation of the official road. We can get all the money the emperor earns from the official road."

"The emperor cannot make money, but we have made money. That's the reason!"

"The most important thing is that we also met the officials in charge of the official road. When buying various checkpoints in the future, it will be much easier!"

Xu Tian explained.

this……

Li Shimin was speechless. This kid was so insidious and wanted to use such a loophole to deal with him!

However, when I know, I have to find a way to stop it. After I go back, I will let my sixth brother, King Zhao Li Yuanjing, think about countermeasures!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Tian'er is really a good plan, but what if Li Shimin thought of a countermeasure?"

"Haha! Father-in-law, Li Shimin would never think of a countermeasure. As the saying goes, officials will protect each other. Unless he carries out a major purge of the court, this kind of thing will not be eliminated!"

Xu Tian said with a smile.

"The pattern in the court is carried out to carry out a major cleansing!"

Li Shimin was shocked. If the situation in the court was purged, the whole world would be shaken.

"Son-in-law, don't talk nonsense. Cultivating the official path is not a big deal, but cleaning the pattern of the court is a huge deal!"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.
Chapter completed!
