The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

It's inconvenient, but it's better than smelling the air polluted by coal and walking on the ground polluted by dirty water every day. Besides, the workshop is full of people, which is not safe and disturbing. He is planning If you want to develop Mozhou City into a big city that is not inferior to prosperous places such as Chang'an and Yangzhou, how can you not plan ahead.

No matter how the merchants of the Ren family tried to persuade them, Xie Jingan just refused to let go, and instead turned around to persuade them, "This place is a bit far away, but it is safe, isn't it? On the way back to the city, put a few people on the way, and wait for those who are there." The roads of people with different intentions are really blocked. Even if they have three heads and six arms, they will never want to reveal the secrets in the workshop. Besides, it will not hinder your affairs. It’s just a monthly inspection, and it’s not every day. As for the craftsmen recruited in the workshop, you can find a nearby place to build a few houses for them to live in, and save them the time of going back and forth on the road. In such a short period of time, I don’t know how many more goods will be produced and how much money will be made for you.”

Originally, it was a matter with only disadvantages and no benefits, but after Xie Jingan said so, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. Although all the aristocratic families felt that something was wrong, they thought it made sense, so they nodded their heads, agreeing with Xie Jingan. planning.

The planning matter was over, Xie Jingan completely cast aside his mask, showing his sharp fangs, and said softly with a slight smile: "Actually, in my opinion, building a workshop is easy, just find a group of craftsmen, according to The process of building a house is just to reduce a few places to build a simpler house, but the real difficulty is the delivery of the goods after production.”

Xie Jingan paused when he said this, seeing that everyone was attracted by him and listened intently, he smiled and continued: "Everyone has seen the things made by the king, whether it is perfume or not. , or glass, each is a precious object, which needs to be handled with care, and it will be broken if it is too heavy. How can it withstand the bumpy road? The city of Mozhou is better. It’s no good after entering Mozhou City, there are potholes everywhere, and people in the carriages are still bumping, not to mention those goods, as long as they leave the gate of the workshop, the road will be smashed.”

When Xie Jingan said this, everyone immediately realized that, yes, although building a workshop at this location has many advantages, it may not be without disadvantages. This alone is enough to worry people. No matter how valuable these things are, But what's the use if you can't get out of the workshop?It's not a waste of time.

The merchants of the aristocratic family didn't realize Xie Jingan's sinister intentions, they just felt that he not only handed over the prescription to them, but also sent people to help them build the workshop, and now he is even more worried about the delivery of the goods they made, which is really considerate I can't be more considerate, I thought it was worthless to enter this chamber of commerce after emptying my family's wealth, but now I am so moved, I feel that it is worth it.

Feeling somewhat moved, Yao Jin asked worriedly, "Then what should we do? Although there is a river not far from the workshop, it is not connected to the sea. We can't go by water, we can only go by land. There is a workshop, and all the roads need to be repaired? If you want the carriage not to bump, you must have flat bluestone slabs. Although there is no shortage of these slabs, they can be paved one by one in this way, so that they can be paved in Mozhou in the year of the monkey? According to the grass people, It is better to build this workshop in the city, although there are too many people and it is difficult to discipline, it is better than the goods cannot be transported."

No, no, if it is built like this in the city, pollution or pollution is the second priority. First of all, his plan to pave the cement road will be shattered.

Xie Jing'an hated the traffic of this era since time travelling. At that time, he was poor and had no one, and couldn't build roads. Now he has money and people, so how could he just ask them to destroy his plan?

Xie Jing'an was so anxious that he almost couldn't even laugh anymore, he barely raised the corners of his mouth, although his voice was as gentle as before, but his tone was very strong: "Young Master Yao is right, but in my king's opinion, After all, building workshops in the city is more harmful than building them outside the city. The most important thing is the problem of prescriptions. For these prescriptions, you have almost spent all your money, or two or three families buy together. Yes, if someone promises to lure the people in the workshop to get the prescription with a lot of money, wouldn’t you suffer a lot? As the king said, if the workshop is built outside the city, this hidden danger can be eliminated. It's easier than asking someone to steal the prescription."

After being brainwashed by Xie Jingan again, everyone really felt that it would be more appropriate to build the road outside the city, but after all, this road construction could not be accomplished overnight. Come up with an idea.

The moment he was looking forward to finally arrived. Xie Jingan was so excited when he received everyone's gaze. He endured and endured so that he didn't show an obvious smile. He pretended to be distressed and muttered for a while, and said tentatively: "Speaking of methods, This king has an idea, it doesn't take too much time, it just costs some money and manpower."

Xie Jingan hesitated when he said this, and everyone was anxious when they heard it. He urged him several times before he pretended to be forced and said helplessly: "Speaking of this method, you all know it, but if you care about it, you will be confused." , all the authorities are just confused, do you still remember the other thing that the king ordered to make, cement?"

When it comes to cement, everyone was a little confused at first, but then suddenly realized and cheered up.

Yes, why did they forget that cement is such a good thing for building houses?It's just a combination of broken bricks, mixed with water and silt, and it will be harder than stone after a few days of drying. Isn't it much easier than paving the road with bluestone slabs?

But although paving the road is easy, it is difficult to get so much cement enough to pave the road.

A few merchants and aristocratic families just got such a solution, and they were not happy for a moment, but then they thought of this problem, and they couldn't help but look from energetic to listless, looked at Xie Jing'an with a bit of a wry smile, and said: "Your Highness, this solution , It is very good, but this cement is produced by His Highness's workshop, and the grassroots can't buy it with money. Now that the cement made by His Highness has been closed to the border, where can the cement come from? Are you going to use it to pave the road? According to the grassroots, it is better to build the workshop in the city, which is more dangerous, build the workshop first, and earn money."

As he talked, he returned to the original topic. Xie Jingan heard a little dissatisfied, his expression sank a bit, and he said slowly: "Since this king can tell you the idea of ​​building the workshop outside the city, naturally There is a solution. The king of cement has it. Although it is not enough to spread it all over Mozhou, it is still enough to spread it from the place where the workshop is built to the gate of Mozhou city. It is just that the king of cement has it, but there are not enough manpower. If you want to To pave the way, you can only find someone on your own, and there is one more thing, apart from the chamber of commerce, this king also has a deal to discuss with you."

Their workshop has not been completed yet, and King Shun is going to negotiate a deal with them again?If Xie Jingan took the initiative to help them make money in the past, they would naturally be very excited, but now a chamber of commerce has almost emptied their family, and even if there is some money left, it is only enough for daily expenses, so how can they do another one? buy and sell.

It's just that King Shun opened his mouth, and they couldn't just refuse directly, so they followed his words: "Your Highness can always think of Cao Min, Cao Min is very grateful, I wonder what business His Highness wants to discuss with Cao Min?"

Xie Jingan has traveled for such a long time, although he has not yet cultivated the golden crystal, but he has indeed cultivated the ability to perceive words and emotions, how can he not see the reluctant expressions of these aristocratic merchants, it's just that Xie Jingan is determined to win this matter, and it will not be because of their reluctance So he kept his mouth shut and pretended he didn't see it, and said lightly: "This business doesn't require you to pay another money, as long as you sign a contract."

Speaking without waiting for people to ask, he told them that he wanted to establish a city construction bureau, subcontract the road sections of Mozhou City to them, and pay for it once a year.

I just joined a chamber of commerce, and now there is an urban construction bureau. Everyone is immersed in the grief of the difficult road and the difficulty of earning money. They are not very interested in Xie Jingan's business. Seeing that Xie Jingan's expression didn't look like a whim, he pondered for a moment and asked: "Your Highness means that neither cement nor manpower will be provided, and the money will be settled once a year, but the road must be completed within the time limit specified by His Highness." Finished, is that it?"

Xie Jing'an nodded, Old Master Chen was silent for a moment, showing a puzzled expression, looked at him and said: "Although this old man has not known His Highness for long, he also knows a little bit about His Highness, His Highness is a kind-hearted person who does business with others , has always benefited both sides, why is it so extraordinary this time, but is there anything left to say, Your Highness?"

Xie Jing'an did not finish speaking, he just saw that everyone was not interested, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, so he swallowed back the rest of the words that were beneficial to them.

He used to think of ways to coax the family of merchants to do business with him, but he was just too cash-strapped and eager to get out of the predicament. Now he is no longer the poor prince who had nothing in the past. As long as he spreads the word that he wants to do business, There are many people asking to come to cooperate with him, and he doesn't have to have these people.

However, although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he felt that these people really spoiled him, but since Mrs. Chen asked, he couldn't help but answer, so he said lightly with a bit of anger: "Mr. The king did not finish his words. Although the king did not provide any concrete manpower for paving the road, and the money is settled once a year, it is not unprofitable for you. The king is planning. After the pavement is completed, the merchants who drive through this road will be charged money, five cents per car, and the goods will be calculated separately, what does Mrs. Chen think?"

There is still money to be collected for crossing the road. Even though the old master Chen is well-informed, he was dumbfounded when he heard this. Isn't it... isn't it..."

Isn't it no different from the bandits who blocked the road?Old Mrs. Chen was terrified on the face and extremely disapproved in his heart, his head was almost shaking like a rattle drum, and he shook his lips repeatedly to persuade Xie Jingan to think twice.

Even the other aristocratic merchant families who were immersed in grief also came to their senses and advised him to change his mind. They felt that this was unbelievable. If it was spread to the court, it would not cause an uproar, and told the Minister of the Imperial History of the court to read it Efforts to impeach.

Although the status of the vassal king is honorable and the power is great, but no matter how honorable he is, he is no more honorable than the sage. When the time comes, King Shun will be dealt with by the sage. Where else can they find such a God of Wealth? Whatever they say, King Shun has to be persuaded.

With this kind of determination to break the boat, several merchants from aristocratic families persuaded him in different ways, and they almost used the stunt of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself. Even though they were so earnest that they almost broke their mouths, Xie Jingan never wavered Half a point, after all, although this matter sounds appalling, it is completely feasible. Isn't this the case with highway tollbooths in later generations?

And he doesn't collect it for everyone, the people are naturally free of charge, he just collects merchants who frequently go on the road and have to deliver goods. Although the cement road is strong, it is not always indestructible. How many years can the carriage that transports the goods be pressed, no matter how strong it is?He would almost hurt his muscles and bones once he built a road. He couldn't use the taxes he collected every year to build roads. Then what spare money would he have to build schools, raise soldiers, and develop fiefdoms?

Thinking about it this way, Xie Jingan felt that it was imperative to build a high-speed toll station. He slightly raised his hand and made a gesture to silence several merchants and families. Wang received the money not for profit, but for future maintenance of the cement road. Although the cement road is strong, it is not a fairy thing that is not indestructible. How incomplete is it, let alone this cement road? I’m afraid this road will be beaten back to its original state after a few years of repair, and the carriage will be bumped again. I can’t ask this king to repair it again.”

Xie Jing'an said: "Everyone also knows that this concrete road will cost a lot to repair once. If there is only one road outside Mozhou City, it will be fine, but there are thirteen cities in this king's fiefdom. If all of them are paved with this concrete road, every It will be repaired every few years, and the amount of money I have is not enough to fill it up. Besides, I don’t just collect money from individuals. I just accept those rich merchants who can buy horse-drawn carriages and transport goods in and out every day. Their cars are much heavier than people, and the wear and tear caused by passing the cement road is much greater than that of people. I don't want them to pave the road, but just charge a few pennies to maintain the cement road later. There is one point involved, they have less money than this king, have they paid money to pave the road like this king?"

That's not true. Everyone listened to Xie Jingan's question and shook their heads subconsciously. They felt that King Shun's words were very reasonable, but there were still some people who remained awake. Old Master Chen shook his head and sighed: "Listen to what your Highness said. "It's okay to collect this money, but we think it should be useless. What matters is the Holy Majesty. According to Caomin, His Highness is not in a hurry to collect money from passing carriages, but first think of a way to convince the Holy Majesty. "
