Since His Majesty Li Er came to the throne in an illegitimate way, he has worked conscientiously and diligently since he ascended the throne.

Therefore, he is often very tolerant to ministers, and he wants to express his generosity and reputation in this way.

When he decided to go to Junyangfang to visit Li Ke and Yang Fan before leaving the palace, he was strongly opposed by all the civil and military officials.

King Wu Li Ke and Yang Fan were assassinated just now, and you, the emperor, ran out again. Isn't this nonsense?

Who can guarantee that His Majesty Li Er will not be targeted?

Seeing all the courtiers' remonstrances and rare unanimous opposition to his leaving the palace, Li Shimin could only give up with a wry smile even though he was very unhappy.

Although he is the emperor, he really can't do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't want to be called a coward.

In desperation, His Majesty Li Er could only ask Prince Li Chengqian to go to express condolences on his behalf.

No matter as the prince or as Li Ke's brother, it is most appropriate for Li Chengqian to go to express condolences on his behalf.

…

Along the way, the heavy snow in the sky made the journey a bit difficult.

When Li Chengqian came to the side road to Junyangfang, he was a little dumbfounded.

The wide and flat roads are all paved with cement. Although there is some snow, it is much easier to walk than the official road.

This made Li Chengqian feel very strange, as if this road appeared out of thin air.

I remember that before the expedition, he had visited Junyangfang. At that time, the road was much smaller than the official road, and it was extremely inconvenient to walk because of the bumps and bumps.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, a broad and flat road that is more than twice as wide as the official road has been opened here.

I remember that after my father saw cement in Junyangfang, he specially purchased cement from Junyangfang as a building material for the Daming Palace.

At that time, Yang Fan still pushed back. Li Chengqian thought it was because cement production was particularly complicated and the output was not high, so he didn't pay too much attention.

But now we use cement to pave the road, which is simply too luxurious.

Needless to say, it must be the work of that boy Yang Fan who instigated Wu Meiniang.

Women will not give way to men!

I really didn't expect that the concubine given to the boy by his father would be so courageous, which made Li Chengqian a little impressed.

Feeling the carriage traveling quickly on the cement road, Li Chengqian finally realized the convenience.

If the entire Tang Empire's official roads were built with such cement roads, wouldn't it be much easier for people to travel around in the future?

What's more, I heard that this kind of cement is indestructible when used to build city walls. It is lighter and easier to use than huge stones.

This is a good thing to strengthen the army and enrich the country.

Isn't it a great achievement to just get the method to make cement?

Who can take away my position as prince?

A cement road made Li Chengqian think a lot.

If Yang Fan knew what Li Chengqian was thinking, he would definitely praise him for his foresight.

There is a saying in later generations: if you want to be rich, you must first build roads.

Convenient transportation not only saves time and costs, but also allows goods to flow from place to place. It is indeed a way to get rich.

If it were possible to pave all cement roads in the Tang Dynasty, even if Li Chengqian did not become emperor in the future, he would definitely leave his name in the history of the country.

As Junyangfang gets closer and closer, more and more caravans come out, and it can even be said to be endless, with no end as far as the eye can see.

You know without asking that these caravans must have come from Junyangfang.

It was a snowy day, and Yang Fan’s ability to make money once again made Li Chengqian jealous!

However, Li Chengqian was not very enthusiastic about doing business.

After all, he has the support of the Guanlong family behind him and he is the prince, so he is not very short of money.

Although Li Chengqian didn't care about this, the accompanying ministers and some second-generation officials were very jealous.

What is the busiest place in Guanzhong now?

It is not Pingkangfang where famous prostitutes gather, nor is it the East and West Markets where all kinds of goods are gathered, nor is it the Lishan Garden where tourists and literati go out for an outing, but Junyangfang is located on the edge of the Qinling Mountains.

Here, merchants from all over the world gather and department stores from all over the world are distributed.

It can be said that Junyangfang has become the cargo transshipment center in Guanzhong area.

Especially that supermarket, it simply overturned the ancients' understanding of business. It was a brand new platform, and everything contained novelty.

After another half an hour, Li Chengqian and his party came to a more open road.

The roads here are also paved with cement, but they are at least twenty meters wide.

Various products are displayed on both sides of the road, and even on a cold and snowy day, there are endless shouts.

Even though he was used to seeing the lively scenes in Chang'an City, Li Chengqian was also very interested. He got off the carriage and looked east and west.

Many novel objects that he had never seen before made him feel very fresh.

The people accompanying him did not stop him. He stood and looked into the distance. The looming city wall of Junyangfang was already a few miles away. It was obvious that there was not much distance left.

What's more, although everyone is familiar with Junyangfang Mutual Market, they never know what kind of place it is.

Most of the people who come this time usually rely on their status, and of course they will not go to this kind of merchant place.

They wanted to see what kind of skills Yang Fan had that could make everyone praise him so much.

Seeing the busy scene of vendors and people coming and going, Li Chengqian's impression of Yang Fan changed greatly even though he didn't attach much importance to money.

If we say that Li Chengqian’s previous impression of Yang Fan was that he was a little clever boy.

So, in pacifying Tubo this time, Li Chengqian finally saw how powerful Yang Fan was.

Of course, he was not the only one, everyone from the emperor to the common people respectfully called Yang Fan the God of War.

Seeing this bustling trading market again, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Being able to build a sterile place into such a prosperous business place in more than a year, who dares to say that Yang Fan is just a reckless man?

Looking at the busy scene of people coming and going, Li Chengqian sighed: "I found that boy Yang Fan is not only good at fighting, but also has a flexible mind. He can actually build a remote place so well. He is truly a talent. No wonder he was chosen."

My father praised me so much."

Following beside him, Chang Sun Chong, who was dressed in a gorgeous gown and looked elegant and graceful, looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little stunned: "Yeah, I really don't know how that guy did it, he is simply a monster."

As he spoke, his eyes were full of disbelief.

I think that his eldest son, Sun Chong, has always had smooth sailings since he was little.

Whether it is intelligence or knowledge, they are all eagerly awaited by the younger generation.

Since Yang Fan appeared, his star has dimmed and he has even been suppressed everywhere. How can he not be jealous?

When Yang Fan first appeared in the eyes of the public, he only offered a method to prevent smallpox.

Later, he stormed into the Duke's mansion angrily because of a concubine and attacked the prince...

In the eyes of all the honorable nobles, Yang Fan's behavior is nothing more than a fool who acted recklessly because of His Majesty's favor.

Just when everyone wanted to see his joke, the naive guy who once thought of him rose up like a comet, catching people off guard.

Not only did the younger generation fail to catch up even if they wanted to, it also made the older generation feel extremely threatened.

They are the same people, but they seem to be very different in age, but why is the gap so big?

Changsun Chong was jealous.

Seeing traders loading goods onto carriages, Li Chengqian sighed again: "It's so lively here, right? There's at least tens of thousands of dollars worth of transactions a day, right?"

Changsun Chong's expression became even worse!

Xin said, I am not a merchant, how would I know?

However, for such a large transaction volume, 10,000 yuan should be considered a small amount, but my heart became even more sour.

You must know that this is the trading volume in one day!

Although Changsun Chong didn't know, there was one person who accompanied him who knew it clearly, and that was Wei Ting, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

Wei Ting came here this time, of course, not to visit Yang Fan and Li Ke, but to count the shares and taxes that Junyangfang should pay.

After all, the Chinese New Year only lasts about twenty days.

Originally, it was none of Li Chengqian's business if he had questions, but after all, Li Chengqian was the prince. Since he asked, it would be bad if he didn't answer.

So Wei Ting took a few steps forward and said, "Young Master Qi, I know something about the trading volume of Junyangfang."

There are so many people here and Wei Ting certainly doesn't dare to reveal his identity.

Of course, Li Chengqian wouldn't mind a title.

King Wu Li Ke was assassinated, and the princes in the capital strengthened their guard.

Who is not afraid of death?

Li Chengqian was no exception, and he knew it was for his own good.
