PS: Good morning, Sir!! Flower tickets, let's go!
Outside the royal study.
Duan Lun, Wang Shan, and the others were still standing there nervously, waiting for Li Er to summon them.
At this moment, they were all panicking…
A lot of things had happened recently. Xiao Tian had made them lose everything they had. Not only had they contributed money and effort, but they had also suffered humiliation and could not say anything!
Actually…
Duan Lun and the others knew very well that the Emperor was secretly supporting Xiao Tian's actions.
Otherwise, even if he had ten guts, he would not dare to go against so many of them.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
Ever since Xiao Tian's appearance, the Emperor's relationship with them had become more and more distant.
Today, he had suddenly summoned them, and he was alone in the royal study. This made them nervous.
It was very likely that the Emperor was going to play some tricks again!
"No matter what His Majesty says later, we just have to listen in peace. Don't take the initiative to do anything, and don't be fooled by the illusion!”
"Let's deal with all changes without changing!" Wang Shan lowered his voice as he looked at Duan Lun and the others.
"Understood!" Everyone nodded in unison.
At this moment, Eunuch Yao Liang walked out of the royal study. He looked at everyone with a smile and said,""Milords, His Majesty invites you!"
" Thank you..." Wang Shan smiled and nodded at Yao Liang.
Soon after.
He led everyone into the royal study respectfully.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" When everyone saw Li Er, they immediately cupped their hands respectfully.
Although they were prepared, when they stood in front of Li Er, everyone could not help but feel nervous and worried.
They did not know what would happen today!
"Beloved ministers, there's no need to be so polite. Quickly get up!”Li Er smiled and personally came to them.
Wang Shan and the others quickly stood up and looked at Li Er in front of them with some discomfort.
Why did the Emperor suddenly change his attitude today and treat them so well?
For some reason, the more this was the case, the more Wang Shan and the others had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Li Er was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he let Yao Liang close the door. After they were the only ones left, he coughed lightly.
"I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you…"
Li Er said this very gently, completely unlike his usual state.
As expected!
Wang Shan and Duan Lun looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
As for the other people from the aristocratic families, they lowered their heads, determined not to make eye contact with the Emperor.
"May I know what instructions Your Majesty has?" Wang Shan gulped and asked uneasily.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. This matter is actually a great thing for both the Imperial Court and you!”
Hearing Li Er's words, Wang Shan and the others could not help but sneer in their hearts.
A good thing?
It would be strange if there was anything good!
He was probably thinking of ways to scam them and make them lose everything like before!
"We…we are not nervous. Your Majesty, please explain!”Wang Shan, Duan Lun, and the others spoke almost at the same time.
"I recently obtained a good thing called cement. The roads or city walls repaired with cement will be much harder and very useful!”
"Therefore, I want to use cement to repair the roads near Chang 'an. Only when the roads are smooth can the people benefit and the business develop!”
Li Er followed Xiao Tian's instructions and gave a brief introduction of the road construction.
Of course.
He did not tell these people many details.
"Your Majesty is wholeheartedly serving the people. It's really a blessing for the people, but…this doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, right?”Wang Shan became even more nervous.
Although there was nothing wrong with his words, the feeling of being dug a hole in front of him was getting worse.
"Of course, repairing the road is the Imperial Court's business, but the national treasury doesn't have the strength to do so recently.”
"Of course, I won't let you do this for nothing. Everything on the road is repaired. The carriage fees mentioned on this road are limited to 50 years, and the profits will all belong to you!”
Li Er followed Xiao Tian's instructions and threw out the bait.
As expected.
At first, they were very resistant and extremely cautious. However, when they heard that the carriage fees for the next 50 years would all belong to them, their expressions immediately changed.
Many people's breathing even quickened!
What a joke.
Fifty years 'worth of profits, and it was also the carriage fees on the road. This was an unimaginable income. How could the Emperor hand over such a huge profit to them so readily?
Faced with such a huge temptation, Wang Shan and the others remained cautious, even though there were not many left.
"Your Majesty, isn't…isn't this a little inappropriate? Fifty years of carriage fees, this was a huge sum of money. Should they discuss it in the morning court?”Wang Shan took a deep breath and made his final struggle.
He had already made up his mind. If the Emperor was really willing to do as he said, they would be willing to add some conditions, let alone repair the road…
