early winter.

The two official roads from the capital to the northwest and from the capital to Hexi started construction at the same time.

Before the weather really cooled down, we raced against time and got on with it. Two cement roads were laid at the same time.

A lot of preparatory work has been done in the early stage, which shows great benefits at this time.

As soon as the engineering team is in place, pull up the people, level the road, and pave the cement

The Shaofu cement workshop directly selects sites along the way, repairs cellars and burns cement.

Recruiters put up signs in various townships to recruit workers every day.

The cook is busy from morning till night.

Grain and grass were transported to the construction site by car.

Farmers in the nearby towns carried the burden and sold their surplus food, meat and vegetables to the canteen on the construction site.

A large number of talented children recruited from Shanhe Academy's mathematics department sat in the construction site every day, busy paying money and keeping accounts.

Students of engineering and geology, running up and down with the engineering team, learning experience.

Even the students from Yin-Yang Department came to join in the fun, saying they wanted to help the engineering team watch Yin-Yang.

The engineering team disliked them very much and thought they were in the way.

The cement road is laid along the official road all the way, so you can see the yin and yang of the fart.

The engineering team is not rare, but Chen Erzhuang is particularly fond of this group of Yin Yang students.

Chen Erzhuang followed the construction site and led people to determine the addresses of toll booths and rest stops. Just need Mr. Yin Yang to watch the venue.

He originally wanted to hire someone from Qin Tianjian.

As a result, Qin Tianjian couldn't leave with excuses one by one, and was unwilling to run with the engineering team, he was too tired.

Eat and live in the wild every day, and the weather is cold at night, who can bear it.

Even if Chen Erzhuang offered a high salary, the officials of Qin Tianjian were not happy.

The officials of Qin Tianjian are not short of money.

The big aristocratic family in the capital, whoever needs to see Yin and Yang for weddings and funerals, will invite them. The fee given is also sufficient.

It can be said that Qin Tianjian is the only yamen that relies on self-reliance to live a prosperous life.

Other yamen can't compare,

Can't compare.

Of course, if you want to enter the Qin Tianjian, you must have real skills.

A guy with half a bucket of water can fool people who don't know how to do it, but he can't fool Qin Tianjian's piercing eyes.

It can be said that everyone in Qin Tianjian has a unique skill.

Chen Erzhuang couldn't invite people from Qin Tianjian, so he planned to invite people from nearby Taoist temples.

As a result, the students from the Yin Yang Department of Shanhe Academy came to their door by themselves.

Chen Erzhuang was very happy.

Is there a Yin Yang meeting? Is there a site selection meeting?

Yes! We all will. Learn all this.

Have you learned well? Compared with the people in Qin Tianjian, how is your level?

It's not as good as the supervisor, but it's enough to choose the address for Director Chen.

Chen Erzhuang's excited heart became chilled.

If this group of young students were a little more modest, he still felt a little confident.

However, Chen Erzhuang felt a little vain as his tone became louder and louder.

You guys stay here first, and get to know everyone first, and I will set off to choose a site in two days.

Everything is up to Mr. Chen.

Chen Erzhuang dismissed the group of students and called his nephew.

His nephew Chen Dong, relying on his skill in raising horses, entered Shanhe Academy through special recruitment.

This time when building the road, Chen Erzhuang deliberately took Chen Dong by his side to practice.

You take my greeting card and go to Baiyun Temple to invite... Forget it, I'll go in person. If you go, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite anyone.

Chen Erzhuang took the greeting card and went to Baiyun Temple to invite people in person.

Daoist Xuanqing was not invited, but two apprentices of Daoist Xuanqing were invited.

Taking the two priests with him, he hurried down the mountain and returned to the construction site.

When the students of Yin Yang Division saw it, they were immediately unhappy.

Does Manager Chen not trust us?

Chen Erzhuang laughed, Learn from each other and testify against each other. I am a layman about Yin-Yang School or Taoism. I will listen to whoever has the most reasonable argument.

absurd!

You guys are the ones who are really absurd, what kind of yin and yang science students, hahaha... The two Taoist priests of Baiyun Temple made fun of these students unceremoniously.

This beam is considered to be closed.

Chen Erzhuang pinched his nose, he didn't mean to provoke a fight between the two sides, really he didn't mean to.

He just hopes that the location can be selected smoothly, the toll station rest station can be built smoothly, and the business can be opened smoothly.

It's really not intentional!

Chen Erzhuang slipped away guilty.

...

Four Seas started construction of two cement roads at the same time, and many people were secretly astounded by Four Seas' financial resources.

Rich man!

I am afraid that Four Seas is not only the most powerful firm in the capital, but also the most powerful firm in the whole world.

Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci has aged a lot.

He is very emotional.

Doing business today is different from what it used to be. Opportunities are everywhere in the capital today, and it depends on whether we can seize them.

The housekeeper echoed: Uncle is right.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci looked at his eldest son, feeling very distressed.

As early as when the first emperor was alive, he asked his eldest son to be crowned heir.

When Emperor Wende came to the throne, he saw that the Zhu family's title could not be passed on.

After the old man dies, the Zhu family's title may come to an end. Boss, don't hold any resentment in your heart. This is the general trend, and you can't go against it. The Duke of Zhen has hereditary succession, and now it's not the town that will be beheaded by the fifth generation. Marquis.

Master Zhu was expressionless. This issue has been discussed many times.

His father, Cheng Enbo, always thought that he could not inherit the title and would have resentment.

Ok!

He admitted that initially he did have a lot of resentment.

He has already been crowned as the son of the eldest son, but if the emperor changes, his position as the son of the eldest son may not be recognized.

When the old father passed away, the Zhu family's title was gone.

In this situation, whoever changes, can't help but feel resentment.

However, after a long time, his father, Cheng Enbo, always brought him up again, and the initial resentment was gone by now.

Father, don't worry, my son knows how powerful he is. Without a title, the Zhu family can be rich for generations.

The Zhu family has the confidence.

The richest man in the capital back then, even if he was severely injured by Gu Jiu, he still had three catties of nails left in the wrecked ship.

Over the years, the Zhu family has shrunk their business, carefully managed their traditional advantageous projects, kept up with the pace of the Universal Commercial Bank, and more or less recovered a little vitality.

At least you don't have to worry about money.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci was very relieved, If you can figure it out, the old man will be relieved. I don't know how many years this old man can last. While the old man is still active, I will plan a few more escape routes for you. The old man is watching, but he still has to follow Mrs. Zhao.

Grandpa Zhu frowned, Father really likes His Royal Highness the First Prince? Your Majesty has not appointed a heir, and all princes have a chance.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci stroked his beard, and said solemnly: Because Your Majesty did not make a crown prince, the chances of His Royal Highness the First Prince are better. Because he is the eldest son, and without a crown prince, he is the legitimate successor. No courtier can refute this.

Master Zhu frowned, Even so, our Zhu family doesn't have to follow Madam Zhao, can't our Zhu family focus on our own business?

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci glared, dissatisfied: Short-sighted. How many years can you do your own business with one mind? The times are different. If you want to make the Zhu family rich for generations, you must follow the wind. What is the wind? Today's Mrs. Chao is the direction of the wind. You can see that she has a hammer here and a stick here, and it seems that she has no main business. After careful research, the old man has always had a main business, and she has always had a core.

Master Zhu was curious, but he still refused to admit it, Isn't it just building roads and houses.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci snorted coldly, Short-sighted! Building roads and houses is just a means. The real main business is to control the economy and people's livelihood of a city. For example, Xinmin County, how lively it is, you have seen it with your own eyes. Xinmin County Why is it today? It can be said that it is all due to Cosmopolitan.

The only purpose of Mrs. Zhao's various means is to make Xinmin County stand up and attract popularity. In the past, the old man was only focused on making money, and never thought about controlling the economy and people's livelihood in one city and one place. Unfortunately, it was too late to wake up, and the Zhu family had already missed the opportunity. If the Zhu family had the structure and strength of the world back then, how could it have fallen to where it is today.

Cheng Enbo Zhuci saw through Gu Jiu's layout.

That is to make the imperial court cast a taboo.

The imperial court cooperated with her and feared her, but dared not touch her.

Of course, her status is the reason for the prince's wife.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci believed that the more important reason was that the imperial court was afraid to take risks.

The Ministry of Households can achieve a balance of revenue and expenditure, the commercial tax has risen sharply, and the government's expenditure can be solved without increasing the tax and corvee of the people. All of this is inseparable from Xinmin County and the Sihai Commercial Bank.

Touching Gu Jiu is equivalent to touching the Universal Trading Company.

No one is confident that after taking over the Four Seas Commercial Bank, Xinmin County can continue to maintain its current vitality and popularity.

No one can guarantee that the business tax will increase steadily under their own management.

Based on past experience, when the imperial court ran out of money, it took the common people and raised taxes!

The current experience is that if you run out of money, you should look for sources of income and charge more business taxes.

It's just that the court has little experience in business and taxation. No one dares to guarantee that they will be able to do it.

Take Beijing as an example. Every year there are new projects, and there are new tax sources.

These projects are not dominated by the four seas, but also influenced by the four seas.

The world is like a treasure, there are always surprises.

Mr. Zhu couldn't understand what his father Cheng Enbo said, and frowned, thinking deeply about the connection.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci said: It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to remember to follow Madam Zhao. This time, Sihai started to build two cement roads at the same time, but did not raise funds from outsiders. All expenses will be borne by Sihai independently. Old man It is guessed that the pressure in the world is quite high.

Master Zhu said, Father misunderstood. Although Si Hai did not raise funds, he borrowed millions of taels from the Shaofu Bank. It is equivalent to taking His Majesty's money and selling it to His Majesty.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci shook his head, You can't say that. You can borrow several million taels from the Shaofu Bank, and the interest alone will cost hundreds of thousands of taels a year. This is not about selling well, but taking care of the Shaofu Bank. business. The old man intends to meet Mrs. Zhao and invest in these two cement roads.

Madam Zhao didn't raise funds from outside, so I'm afraid she won't accept the money from our Zhu family. Father, I'm afraid it will be a waste of effort.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci said: Always give it a try. If you haven't tried it, how can you know it won't work. If you can invest in these two cement roads, the Zhu family can expect prosperity in the next few decades.
