Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2233 It's Raining

Chang'an City is getting more and more autumnal.

Seeing the time passing day by day, Lu Liu and the others finally became a little anxious.

The cement cost a lot of money. Of course, they would not be unable to live because of the money, but as businessmen, the money did not allow them to obtain more benefits. After all, they were not satisfied with it.

On this day, several people sat together and drank. Of course, drinking was secondary, and the key was to discuss how to sell the cement.

"Brother Liu, I heard that you didn't sell a single bag of cement?"

The man called Brother Liu is obese and has a special preference for food. When he was asked, he was gnawing on a chicken foot. The chicken foot was first fried and then stewed. It is very soft and rotten, and when you put it in your mouth and suck it, you can suck all the edible things on the bones into your mouth.

That process is simply a pleasure.

After the man called Brother Liu finished eating a chicken foot, he wiped his mouth slowly and said, "Yes, none of the bags were sold, but some people wanted to buy a few bags and go back to repair a pool. , but was rejected by me, the price he offered was too low, not worth it."

When talking about this matter, this brother Liu didn't seem to be worried at all that his cement would not be sold. Seeing him like this, Lu Liu was a little curious and asked, "Brother Liu, we spent a lot of money to buy this cement. , and it’s been transported for so long, if it can’t be sold, it will all fall into our hands, which is not good, brother Liu is so calm, but what good solution is there?”

Everyone turned their gazes over, and brother Liu had already picked up another chicken paw and gnawed on it.

"There is no good way, but I think that if the cement can't be sold, then we can use it ourselves. We can repair the road in our own courtyard and the front of the door, so that we don't have to buy it every time we go down. When it rains, it’s always a problem to go out, don’t you think so? Besides, we buy cement to build roads, but we don’t use cement to build roads in our own houses and in front of our doors, so how can others buy it? ?”

After Brother Liu's words were finished, everyone felt enlightened.

Don't do to others what you don't want done to you.

If they themselves are not willing to build roads, how can others be willing to build roads?

Only when they build roads by themselves and let other people see the convenience and benefits, other people will be willing to buy it. They buy a lot of cement. Even after building their own homes, there will still be a lot left. If they can be sold , This trip is also free of money.

After the few people finished talking like this, they all realized a little bit, and then they didn't stay idle, and each went home and prepared to go.

But this man who was called Brother Liu finally took a leisurely ride back home after eating all the chicken feet.

In the carriage, there was already a person waiting for him.

"Have you finished everything that the lord told you?"

Brother Liu nodded: "As a businessman trained by the lord, we have naturally done the things that the lord has explained, but I don't understand one thing. The cement road construction can be said to be of great help. Why did the lord wait until At this time, I was asked to take such an action, instead of letting these businessmen build roads by themselves from the beginning?"

Why waste so much time and energy if you can do it right from the start?

Brother Liu didn't understand. He was just one of the many businessmen trained by Qin Tian. Most of the time, they just followed orders, and they didn't have the qualifications to know the specific situation.

And the person in the carriage happened to be qualified to know this.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "It's very simple, because these businessmen think that after the cement is brought in, they can sell it at a good price. If you let me repair their own roads from the beginning, would they be willing?" I'm afraid they are unwilling to make more money, but now, they have no other good choice, they can only repair their own road first, and then other people will follow, the prince asked you to say at this time, It's the best time."

This person explained a little bit, and after listening to Brother Liu, he suddenly realized it, and quickly nodded in agreement.

And after this matter was decided, many merchants in Chang'an City began to build their own roads one after another.

They first repaired the roads in their mansions. These people are rich businessmen, and their mansions are also big. The roads in the past were either stone roads or dirt roads.

The stone road is one thing to say, the ground is not very flat, and the rain is not very scary, so this can be repaired endlessly, but the main road must be repaired.

As for the dirt roads, they must be repaired. These dirt roads are better on sunny days. If it is raining, it is basically impossible to walk.

So the dirt road must be repaired.

After these people built the road in the courtyard of the mansion, the next step is the road in front of the door. This is not an easy task for them, because everyone should walk the road in front of the door. If they repair it, they must only repair it. The section of the road in front of my own door.

It’s just that if they build the road, the road for others will be uneven, and the disconnected part must be made with a slope, so that it is convenient to walk.

If several businessmen are connected together, it would be easy to say that everyone can connect, but no matter what, these businessmen are not stingy with cement now, no matter whether they are connected or not. It was repaired. Although many of them are not connected, they look a little strange after repairing, but they don't care. Only after the road is repaired, other people will think that the cement road is good. Only in this way can their cement be sold. .

Those who can be neighbors with businessmen like them are either rich or expensive. When they see the benefits of these cements, they will not believe that they will not come to buy cement.

These businessmen were working in full swing. After more than ten days, when the autumn wind was stronger, they had almost finished building their respective concrete roads.

When many other people saw these cement roads, they were very curious.

"These businessmen really have money and nowhere to spend it. They actually use it to build roads. What a tsk tsk..."

"Who says it's not? What's the use of this cement for road construction? It's better to use it for building houses."

"Yes, the most important thing is that others can walk these roads. You can't stop others from walking the road in front of your door, right?"

"That's right, that's right, it's a big loss. Whoever does this kind of business will be taken advantage of."

Everyone was muttering, and at this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky above Chang'an City, and then it began to rain.
