Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2077
It rained heavily for a day and a night, and it finally stopped the next morning.

And this heavy rain caused a three-kilometer wall of Chang'an City to collapse.

If the three-kilometer city wall is connected together, it will be impossible to see the end at a glance.

So in the morning court, the faces of all the people in the main hall were tense, and everyone was very worried, worried that Li Shimin would be furious.

Chang'an City, the city wall of the capital city was washed away by a heavy rain, is this going to make the world laugh?

In addition, I am afraid that many people will feel less awe of Chang'an City because of this, and feel that Chang'an City is vulnerable, and some people are afraid that they are about to move?
Only if Chang'an City is impenetrable, then other people dare not have any crooked ideas.

There was some silence above the hall.

Everyone looked at each other, or bowed their heads, but no one was willing to stand up and say something.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally said: "Presumably all of you dear friends already know that the walls of Chang'an City and the city of Beijing have fallen. It is logically impossible for this kind of thing to happen, but it happened during my Zhenguan years. What happened, what do you say?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then an official stood up: "Your Majesty, hold accountable, who built the city wall must be severely punished."

Li Shimin didn't speak. At this time another official stood up, curled his lips, and said: "This city wall was built in the Sui Dynasty, and the people who built the city wall were from the Sui Dynasty at that time. Is there any point in asking them to severely punish them? What is the most urgent thing? It’s better to repair the city wall as soon as possible. This city wall was originally repaired for a period of time. That’s another thing that can be used for a long time.

This official is quite sensible. After he finished speaking like this, he quickly got the approval of some people.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is better for us to repair the city wall as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, this city wall should indeed be repaired every once in a while."

"........."

Everyone was talking, and at this time, an official stood up and said: "My lord, I heard that the king of Xiliang is also repairing the city in Liangzhou city, and he is using the cement developed by the king of Xiliang. This thing is very sticky. If it can be used on the walls of Chang'an City, then this Chang'an City may not need to be repaired for decades, and it can make the entire Chang'an City as solid as gold."

After the official finished speaking, many people in the court who had heard of it also stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have also heard about this matter. The cement in Liangzhou City is a good thing. We should get some and build the city."

"That's right, that's right, it's not a problem to build the entire Chang'an city."

"My lord, it just so happens that the population of my Chang'an city has increased a lot, and the current city is already a bit crowded. Why don't we take this opportunity to expand our Chang'an city and build a new, strong Chang'an city."

"This proposal is good. The scale of our Chang'an City is indeed smaller now. With the development of Chang'an City, the population of our Chang'an City will increase. Expansion is very necessary."

"…………"

It has been more than 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and in the past 20 years, under Qin Tian's proposal, the Tang Dynasty has formulated many policies. These policies have made Chang'an City very rich. When a place is rich, it will naturally attract many people. Come.

Today's Chang'an City has doubled its population in only twenty years.

The sudden increase in population made Chang'an City look prosperous, but it also caused some unnecessary troubles. For example, the housing prices rose sharply, and the cost of living in Chang'an City also increased for many people. Well, many people have a hard time living in Chang'an City.

But if Chang'an City can be expanded, the pressure on housing prices will definitely be reduced a lot, and the traffic will definitely be smoother.

Of course, after the population increases, the advantages must outweigh the disadvantages. However, if some disadvantages can be eliminated, that is naturally a good thing.

The cement in Liangzhou City made this matter that everyone didn't pay much attention to, and it was brought up all of a sudden, and it caused a lot of sensation.

Many people's land is just outside Chang'an City. If Chang'an City is expanded, their land may be included in the city at once. There is a big difference between the price of land inside and outside the city.

In this way, these people naturally hope that Chang'an City can be expanded.

Therefore, many people support it.

However, just when so many people supported the expansion of Chang'an City and the use of cement, Changsun Wuji's face was very ugly. He knew very well that the expansion of Chang'an City was a good thing, and it was also beneficial to him. There is a lot of land outside Chang'an City. As long as it is expanded, a large part of his land can be included in the city.

But if cement is used to build the city, people must be sent to Liangzhou City to haul the cement. This requires a lot of people. If so many businessmen went to Liangzhou City, wouldn't that be a great help to Qin Tian?
With this person, Liangzhou City can develop.

So this matter made Changsun Wuji very disliked.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if Chang'an City is really expanded, it will consume a huge amount of manpower and material resources. If it is still transported from Liangzhou City, the cost will be even greater. It's very bad, so what I mean is that Chang'an City can be expanded, but it is not suitable to use cement. The things we used before are not impossible, so why should we use cement?"

After Changsun Wuji said this, some people agreed.

"That's right, that's right. The expansion of Chang'an City must cost a lot. I'm afraid the Ministry of Households won't be able to produce so many things at once, so it's better not to use cement."

"The previous city towers can be used. Now that we are expanding Chang'an City, they can also be used."

"Extremely, extremely, please be frugal, Your Majesty."

"........."

There are quite a lot of people who support Changsun Wuji, but at this time, Cheng Yaojin immediately gave a piss, and then said: "Chang'an City is the capital of my Tang Dynasty. How dare you build the city at will? Since it is going to be built, then We must use the best materials to build the strongest city in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, if the enemy comes to attack, what if the city is knocked down all at once?"

"Furthermore, after using cement, we don't need to repair it for decades, which can save us a lot of money, but if we repair it for a period of time like before, I'm afraid it will cost more money. Bar."
