Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 127 To be rich, build roads first

Shen San asked a few words to explain the problem clearly.

But, can it really recover the cost? The road is not short. The money is spent like running water, and every penny is recovered. How many people will take this road of paying?When the time comes, can these toll roads really be free?

And what about the land for road construction? How can His Majesty's land be misappropriated casually?
This thing is still too new for the ministers of the Great Zhou.

All the ministers in the court whispered to each other, they have never encountered such a situation, who can tell them what will happen next?
Di Renjie looked worried, "This is the land of Da Zhou."

This is not private land, and neither profit nor loss can be measured from a business perspective.

Shen San asked with a complicated expression, "Didn't Your Majesty entrust the princess to take care of all the affairs of Yuanzhou?"

Wherever the princess wants to build roads, she can build roads, and build a palace if she wants to build a palace. Can you control the things that His Majesty approves of?
Emperor Wu can take care of it, but he has to come out and take care of it, "The affairs of Yuanzhou cannot be treated with common sense. This matter cannot be imitated by outsiders. Mountains, forests, rice fields, and woodlands have their own laws and demarcations. This matter must be announced to the world and cannot be imitated. "

It is inappropriate for the government to build roads for merchants and then collect money, which is tantamount to oppression, and it is not appropriate, and it has a good reputation.If this move is really well done and can be accepted by others, it will not be too late to follow suit. If the supply exceeds demand and the income cannot make ends meet, the imperial court will not do business at a loss, and other states will not clamor for road construction.

It's just that everyone is thinking about it again. What is an outsider? A princess can do it, but others can't?This is an obvious loss-making business, who would be stupid to follow suit.Your Majesty's intention is still not to occupy the land casually, yes, it should be so.

Shen Sanwen didn't say anything more, if His Majesty punished Cui Xuan, he would hit the princess in the face, and for these merchants a few copper coins, it would certainly not be enough.An ordinary county road does not have Lai Junchen's weaving skills, and it is difficult for ordinary people to lead to serious crimes.If His Majesty doesn't want to see this matter, you can solve it by calling someone to send a message in private. It's a good thing you still took the morning to say it, and you are filled with righteous indignation.

If it wasn't that he didn't want to see the discussion in the future, Shen Sanwen didn't even want to come to the morning court today.

Spring is here in the blink of an eye.

Literati like to walk in the rain and step on mountains in the snow, as if the cold can temper a person's noble character.

In fact, it can only increase injuries in vain.

Mr. Cui fell down during an inspection when the drizzle turned into a heavy rain.

One fell ill.

It also gave Consort Shen a chance, and Shen Sanwen came to Yuanchun on the pretext of visiting a sick person.

At this time, the first business road in Dazhou was a bit muddy, but it could be seen that the foundation was solid, and these merchants naturally wanted to set foot on this smooth road, but the high cost dissuaded them.

There were also people who wanted to make trouble, but under the guidance of others, they saw the stone tablet engraved with Princess Taiping Ling Cui's special way of business, and these people put away their shock and anger.

Princess, of course I can't understand the sufferings of these people. They have to collect money to build a road. What kind of breaking the world.

Chidao occasionally collapses, but there are also long-walking porters who avoid traps everywhere, just like old sailors hired by a large merchant ship to guide the ship from hitting the rocks.A porter only needs five renminbi, but it takes thirty renminbi to go into business.

Is thirty gentlemen expensive?Compared with the goods they carry, it is not worth mentioning. It's just that the road that has always been free of money has to be charged. I really think the common people are fools.

Among the patients, Cui Xuan never forgot to ask if the current road is profitable.Hearing that no one is leaving, I can't help but sigh, Yin Zi!Gone forever.

Then he also thought of countermeasures, such as running a race and transporting speed blocks, these businessmen should also consider it.But Shen Sanwen stopped him.

"Don't be so troublesome. Few people know about the race. Once the fame spreads, the rainy season will be over."

The real heavy rain is only for the past half a month. After that, it will still drizzle, and you can go any way.

But since the road has been built, it is natural for people to see its benefits, mutual benefits, how can these businessmen not know about it?

The next day, under the banner of celebrating the opening, Shen Sanwen divided the business road into four sections, and the first section was free for three days.

Who knows, there is no shop, so where did the talk of opening come from.

Now many people don’t think so much. It’s better to go to the toll road than to go without toll. It’s always good to try.Businessmen must be brave enough to try to discover new opportunities.

The first businessman who passed by did not choose to continue on the business road. Although the road was not so comfortable and bumpy, the money given by the family was limited, so we still had to save some money.The second section of the road was also okay. After walking, he really missed the smoothness of the business road.

Until the third road, there was a loud "boom".

Pulling back the curtain, he saw the carriage next to him fall into the pit, he cursed, "Guide, do you have eyes? Do you know how much time this will take?"

Some goods have to be put down, pushed back and forth many times, and then put back. These are very delicate and cannot withstand the toss.

Then he began to regret, isn't it just twenty Wen, and he ran so fast that he might be able to arrive one day earlier.Even if it is only one day earlier than the same batch of goods, it is a great business opportunity, and the family may praise him.

Fortunately, not long after entering the third road, he directly ordered people to turn back and take the business road!My family didn't recognize it, so I paid the money by myself, anyway, I left comfortably.

Go back and report one more worker and come back.

Many people walked directly on the commercial road in the second section of the road, bumpy, potholed, and they have walked enough, so they should feel sorry for these goods.Making money is not just to be happy, to eat and drink well, to save a few dollars, but if you lose your health, you will lose the big.

After walking the road in Yuanchun County, looking at the muddy appearance of the carriage coming out of the road, my heart is full of superiority, poor ghost.

Of course, they didn't last long, because the road returned to the previous state, I really miss it.How can this road be repaired for just a few tens of pennies? How wonderful!Well, now there is no money to spend.

When I walked to the inn where I was resting, a group of old men yelled, "This road is really not for people to walk, I have traveled all over the country, this pass, no, all the roads in the world are not as good as Yuanchun's road. "

Then someone echoed, "Yeah, after Yuanchun came out, my old waist has been bumped into a bad shape." The entourage next to me muttered, your waist was not good before.

Hmph, what do you know, the master has done this precious road, and it is comparable to those mud legs?
Yuanchun's Chidao, the third section, was not so difficult in the first place.But on a rainy night, an insomniac son-in-law asked someone to do a lot of tricks, and there were many accidents.

The bumps in the past were too light to let you experience the ups and downs. Of course, you can't appreciate the goodness of business.If you want to get rich, build roads first, this is no joke.
