Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2225 This is the means
To be rich, build roads first.

This is an eternal truth.

If the roads in a place are difficult, how can there be businessmen willing to come here to do business?
The road is difficult to walk, and it is difficult for people here to get out.

Therefore, only when this road is easy to go, the exchanges will increase, and the exchanges will increase, and the trade will naturally become frequent.

Moreover, the road is easy to walk, which can save a lot of travel time. For the same business, compared with many people, they will be more inclined to use the road with the shortest time.

Qin Tian talked about his thoughts, and after Ma Zhou listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "What the prince said is naturally very reasonable, but if it is really implemented, I am afraid there will be big consequences. We can process and produce the cement needed for this cement road, and those old Turkic people can come to work, but the wages required by so many people are not a small amount, which is equivalent to using our own Money has supported so many people, and although there is an extra road in the end, the pressure is still great."

After saying this, everyone immediately reacted.

If the cement road was built with other people's money, then they can still make money selling the cement, and the old Turkic people can also get relief, but the cement can't be sold for money, and they have to pay their own wages. There is some pressure, and the pressure may even be greater. After all, this Silk Road is not easy to repair.

Hearing this, Qin Tian smiled slightly. How could he not have thought of this situation?

Any business should be done through exchange with outsiders. If there is no exchange, it's just them playing here by themselves, and it's you who will lose in the end.

"My lord understands what you mean, but don't worry, this Silk Road can't be built in a few years, even more than ten years, and what we have to do is to build the cement road It’s enough to promote it. Think about it, if we start to build cement roads in Xiliang, will some wealthy people in other places in Xiliang want to build cement roads in front of their own houses? After all, cement roads It is comfortable to walk, and there is no mud in rainy days. They are not short of money. They must come to buy cement, and they must use our workers. In this way, we can increase some cement workshops, and these old Turkic people can arrange Working here, some people who can learn to build cement roads can be asked to go out to help others build cement roads, so some people have been solved, and the rest can also build the Silk Road. In this way, as long as most people are willing to work , basically can be resolved, right?"

After Qin Tian finished speaking, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that building roads was just a means, and the point is to popularize cement roads.

After the popularization of cement roads, the demand for cement will increase, and various places that need craftsmen will also increase.

In this way, as long as most of the people have been dealt with, even if the remaining people are allowed to keep grazing, there is no problem, right?
"What the prince said is true, so when will we start work?"

"The construction will start soon. Let's repair the road in front of Liangzhou Prince's Mansion in the west of Liangzhou City. There are many businessmen coming and going on this road. After these businessmen feel the benefits of the cement road, they will definitely promote it. If you go to other places in Datang, there may be cement roads everywhere in Chang'an City, and we have great business opportunities. From now on, we can let people expand cement production and add more workshops."

"promise!"
-
The widest road in Liangzhou City is the road in front of Xiliang Palace.

The road is fairly flat, so there is no need to level it. To make it a concrete road, just pour the cement directly.

After Qin Tian had this plan, the next day, he sent someone to call those Turkic old people. Ah, someone in charge called.

In any tribe, even if it has been wiped out, there will still be some people who are highly respected and become the leaders of others.

This is the commonality of human beings.

After these people came, they were a little nervous and terrified. After all, these days, their people have caused a lot of trouble. They were worried that Qin Tian was looking for trouble for them.

If Xiliang lost patience with them, it might be a catastrophe for the Turks.

Regardless of how many of them there are, with [-] troops from Xiliang, they can all be wiped out.

These people were a little nervous, and when they came, they lowered their heads and dared not speak. Qin Tian glanced at them and said, "I'm looking for you today, and I just want to tell you one thing. I have added some cement workshops in Xiliang. These old Turkic people want to integrate into our Xiliang. If any of you are willing to work in these cement workshops, you can get the same wages as others. In addition, we will provide you with accommodation and other conditions , Also, I plan to build the road in front of the Xiliang Prince's Mansion into a concrete road. If any of you are willing to come to work, the king will send someone to teach them the craft, and they can also get wages and housing and food can be guaranteed. "

Qin Tian told these people about the situation, and they were relieved after hearing it. It turned out that they didn't want to trouble them, so that's good.

Moreover, it is also a good thing to provide them with a livelihood. There are so many of them, there must be something to do, otherwise everyone will have no sense of security for the future.

"What the prince said, we will tell our people after we go back. It's just...many of us here still want to go back to the grassland. I don't know...When can we go back to the grassland?"

They have lived in the grassland for hundreds of thousands of years. Even if they have a livelihood here, most of them still want to go back to the grassland.

This person took a lot of risk and pressure to finally stand up and ask about this.

Qin Tian was not angry when he heard this.

"Your Turkic grasslands are huge, and I can't swallow them in Xiliang. The king has ordered someone to send a letter to Chang'an City to see how to deal with those grasslands. If you can share some of the grasslands in Xiliang, I can guarantee that as long as you If you want to leave and go to the grassland, you can go back to live on your grassland."

Hearing this, those old Turkic people were overjoyed. If they could go back to the grassland, it would be the happiest thing in their life, right?

Although they have to rely on the sky for food on the grassland, they are used to it and they like it.

"Thank you, my lord. Let's go back and convey my lord's meaning. I believe they will be very positive."
