Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

In the western suburbs of the capital, on the official road to the northwest, a group of people pointed along the official road.

Someone was curious and stepped forward to ask, What are you doing here? Is there a way to guide you?

The person being questioned was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

The old man misunderstood, we are not doing bad things. We are fellows of Sihai Road and Bridge Commercial Company, and we are here to make our way.

Kan, Kanlu? The old man didn't quite understand what Kanlu meant.

The buddy said: The road is to check the terrain, the landform, and evaluate the road condition.

More people gathered around.

Is the road going to be built?

Is it finally going to build the official road in the western suburbs?

Just to build the capital, the official road outside the city gate is ignored. When it rains, this road is impossible to walk, it is full of mud. When entering the city, the city gate officials disliked the cement road of the capital.

Yes, yes! Everyone wants to walk on clean and tidy concrete roads. If the imperial court doesn't build roads, what can we do?

Is it necessary to build roads?

The man said loudly: I'm just a young man from a commercial company, and we were ordered to check the road conditions. I'm not sure whether the road is going to be repaired. Fellow villagers, don't worry. If the road is really going to be repaired, it will definitely happen in a few days. There is news. When the time comes to recruit workers, everyone will come!

Sure, sure! You can also help us find out, do you want to build roads?

...

In the wine shop next to the official road, many people gathered here to chat before dinner time.

They're all talking about building roads.

Boss, you have a wide range of roads and a lot of information. You also know people all over the world. Tell the big guys, do you want to build roads?

Yeah, tell me, boss.

Li Sheng, the owner of the restaurant, was once a refugee, and now a small boss with a registered permanent residence in the capital.

He smiled and said, Don't worry, everyone. Since the Luqiao Commercial Company sent a guy to check the road conditions, there must be something to do. It's not road repairs, but other repairs.

Besides building roads, what else can we build? Is it to build toll booths and rest stops?

Everyone laughed.

Yellow mud road, I don't believe anyone has the face to set up a toll booth.

I don't even think about it. When it rains, the road is so difficult to walk. The carriage is stuck in the mud, and the puller can't pull it.

On a sunny day, if you stop by the side of the road, you can eat half a catty of dust in less than an hour.

Everyone was talking about how bad the yellow mud road was.

Many years ago, no one complained that the officialdom was bad.

At that time, everyone had a simple idea, there is a way, no matter what the way is, it is enough to make people feel satisfied.

It's not easy to walk on rainy days, let's get over it.

On a sunny day, there is a lot of dust and the road is bumpy, so let’s get over it.

Until the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou was built, it was smooth and clean, and there were special personnel to maintain the road surface.

With contrast, there is a gap, and there is also damage.

Compared with the cement road outside the south city gate, people in the western suburbs find the yellow mud official road in front of their house not pleasing to the eye no matter what.

However, the imperial court had no money and was unable to build cement roads. The people in the western suburbs can only accept their fate.

Everyone is looking forward to building roads, but it is not up to them whether to build roads or not.

...

The Shaofu family order is also worried about the official road in the western suburbs.

He looked at Gu Jiu with complicated eyes, Xiao Jiu, why do you want to build the official road in the western suburbs? It's a good time to go out once in a while.

Gu Jiu finally went out for activities.

Super Plus enjoy.

Gu Jiu said with a smile: I have been raising it for nearly two years, and my whole body is rusty. I have long wanted to go out and do something. It just so happens that the official roads in the western suburbs are getting worse and worse, and have not been maintained for many years. I Thinking that the court is in trouble, no, I deliberately share the worries for the court.

Shaofu's family ordered his beard to shake, It's fine to do other things, why do you want to build roads?

The old ancestor doesn't seem to like me building roads? Gu Jiu smiled half-smile.

The Shaofu family order did not hide it, and asked bluntly: You tell the old man first, why do you want to build the official road in the western suburbs?

I want to make money! Gu Jiu said bluntly.

The Shaofu family order frowned slightly, not quite believing it.

Even if the road is built and toll stations are set up, there will be no income in the short term. The concrete road from Beijing to Luozhou seems to have a lot of income. However, so many people invest in it, and so many people wait for the money to be distributed. How much is it? It’s better to repair the house.”

Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, Repairing a house requires someone to buy it! Building roads is different, as long as the court promises to give me fifty years, no, I only need forty years. Worry. If you sell the house, it will be gone, but it’s not as easy as building roads.”

The Shaofu Jialing shook his head slightly, but still didn't quite believe it.

He said earnestly: Xiao Jiu, if you want this old man to fight for you, you have to tell the old man the truth. At least let the old man know what's going on. Don't wait until something goes wrong. His Majesty asks. I don't know what to do when I ask. , the Shaofu family ordered that this position has to be replaced.

Gu Jiu leaned forward and said mysteriously: To tell the truth to my ancestors, the reason why I want to build the official road in the western suburbs is because my people discovered two ore veins in the northwest. It is not easy to transport the minerals out. Road building is imperative.

Shaofu's family was surprised, Two ore veins have really been discovered?

Gu Jiu nodded, Don't dare to lie to my ancestors. I didn't say anything about it. I'm afraid that if the Northwest Army finds out, the ore will be snatched away by Marquis Lu.

The Shaofu Jialing asked nervously: Have you found out exactly what mine it is?

Gu Jiu whispered, One iron mine and one silver mine.

Silver mine?

The voice of Shaofu's house order changed, Really?

It's absolutely true.

After finishing speaking, Gu Jiucong took out a small piece of unrefined silver, Please have a look, my ancestors, this is a sample dug from a silver mine. That silver mine is hidden in the mountains, and it is very inconvenient to get in and out. Fortunately, this silver mine The burial is relatively shallow, so it is not difficult to dig out. How to transport the silver out is a big problem.

Shaofu Jialing picked up the silver sample, held his breath, and looked at it carefully. Also took out various small tools to beat and beat.

Shaofu Jialing deals with money all day long, and knows the situation of each silver mine well.

Often, just by looking at a silver ore sample, one can tell which vein produced it.

Now, the silver ore sample in his hand does not belong to any vein in his memory. It seems that Gu Jiu really found a silver mine in the northwest.

He put down the silver sample, and said to Gu Jiu with some embarrassment: Xiao Jiu, you should know that this matter must be reported to His Majesty. Once His Majesty knows that there is a silver mine in the northwest, this silver mine must be owned by the imperial court. You can't Private mining. This is the rule of the court, and the old man can't do anything about it.

I know! Gu Jiu looked sensible and courteous, I don't dare to expect silver ore, I just ask for iron ore to be given to me, and I will organize a business to mine it. I also ask the old ancestor to say something nice to His Majesty.

In addition, the official road to the northwest is very important for these two mine veins. If the imperial court does not have enough money, I can bear the cost of road construction, counting as 20% of the imperial court's daring shares, and give priority to solving the resettlement of veterans.

The official road has been changed into a concrete road, which is also convenient for post stations and express stations. The courier station now undertakes the important task of transporting a large amount of grain and grass to the Northwest Army. The Northwest official road has been crushed by horses and horses transporting food, grass and military equipment for a long time, and it has become rotten. Coupled with the mining of two mine veins, the carriages and horses transporting ore and grain and grass will crush the road together. After a year or two, the official road to the northwest may no longer be able to drive horse-drawn carriages.

The Shaofu Jialing nodded, Your worries are very reasonable. The situation of the official roads in the western suburbs is not optimistic, and this old man is well aware of this. However, the imperial court is short of money, and it is true that they cannot spare enough money to build cement roads. Are you willing It's really rare to pay. But I'm not sure if His Majesty will suspect your intentions.

Gu Jiu looked aggrieved, I know that because I am married to Liu Zhao, His Majesty doesn't trust me very much. I always think that I have a purpose behind my doing things, and I am helping Liu Zhao plan interests. However, this time to build the official road, even if I have selfish motives, and it is also for the mine veins in the northwest and the business in the northwest.

Some people may say that it is not worthwhile to spend a lot of money and grain to build cement roads for such a small business. As everyone knows, as long as the imperial court approves me to set up toll stations and rest stations along the way, the cost of road construction will be recovered in a few years. It can be said that building roads is a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone. If His Majesty is really worried, I can increase the dry shares to the court to 30%. The imperial court only needs to pay a part of the food and grass.

The Shaofu family order frowned, Is it necessary to build the road?

Gu Jiu nodded aggrievedly, Don't the ancestors want to build roads?

The Shaofu family order laughed, Of course the old man wants to build roads. Once you start work here, the cement workshop in Shaofu can also make a fortune. The only question is whether His Majesty will agree.

After a pause, the Shaofu family order said again: You ask the eldest prince to keep a low profile recently, and the old man takes time to discuss this matter with His Majesty.

Gu Jiu nodded heavily, Thank you, ancestor! I'll treat my ancestor to drink another day.

Don't think about drinking until you are in good health.

Gu Jiu laughed, Thank you, ancestor, for your concern.

She smiled and said goodbye to the Shaofu family order, and left the Shaofu yamen.

After getting into the carriage, he ordered the servant Zhao Minfa, Tell Your Highness that the matter has been completed. He can move over there.

Old slave obeys!
