Chapter 727: Cai Hongfang, the beginning of road construction
"Big brother, I heard you right, right?" Ye Kai asked again.
He knew that his eldest brother was rich, but it was 10 million! With his current salary, it was enough for him to work for 10,000 years.
"You heard it right, it's 10 million, and it's a one-time payment. ”
"Big brother, what other conditions do you have?" Ye Kai knew that his eldest brother was a businessman.
Businessmen are unprofitable, and they are also mercenary, since the eldest brother donated 10 million to build the road, then there will be no purpose.
"As I said earlier, all of them should be used to build roads. ”
"Uh!" Ye Kai was stunned for a moment and asked, "There are no other conditions?"
"Nope. Ye Lin shook his head.
"But brother, isn't it too much to use all 10 million to build roads?"
"Is it much?" Ye Lin shook his head again and said, "I don't think it's much at all, since it is a road repair, it must be repaired at one time, at least it can be used for decades." ”
"Big brother, I know what you're talking about, but it's 10 million!
Of course, Ye Lin understood what the third child meant, he wondered if he could take out a third or half of the ten million to build roads.
The rest of the money will be invested in agriculture, so that the people can get some benefits, or at least improve the current situation.
"Third child, I understand what you mean, but have you thought about it, don't say half of it, even if it's all of it, what's the use of you investing in agriculture. ”
Ye Lin is right, there are 400,000 people in the entire Caizhou County, and even if 10 million is invested in agriculture, the average person is only 25 yuan.
Of course, this may be a lot of money for the people, but what can be changed, if the road is not repaired, the people still have no way out.
But if all this money is used to build roads, even if Ye Lin does not invest in agriculture in the future, the life of the common people will gradually improve.
It's just that it may take a little longer, it seems to take two or three years, or four or five years at most, but if the road is not built, it is estimated that in another ten years, the people will still be the same as now.
And it will be more and more out of step with the times, so the road is the most important thing at present, of course Ye Kai doesn't know this, but Ye Lin, as a person who has come over, knows better than anyone else.
"But brother, to build a three-meter-wide cement road, one kilometer is a few thousand yuan, and this 10 million can be repaired for more than 1,000 kilometers, even if it is a road connecting every village, it is estimated that it will not need so much. ”
"Who told you? I looked at the map in the middle of the night last night, and if the entire Caizhou County is to reach the village road, it will take about 1,000 kilometers. ”
"Uh!" Ye Kai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are there so many?"
"Don't doubt your brother and me, there are nearly 3,000 villages in the entire Caizhou County, although some roads can overlap, but you calculate how long the average village is. ”
"More than three hundred meters. ”
"That's right, it's more than 300 meters, do you think it's more now! And why do you want to build three meters wide, just build four meters wide. ”
"Four meters wide?"
"Yes, four meters wide. ”
The three-meter-wide width can fully meet the current demand, but in a few years! When the time comes, there will be cars in the countryside, no matter what kind of car! Even if it is a four-wheeled vehicle, at least it must be able to stagger it.
Three meters wide is not at all, let's put it this way! Even if two four-wheeled vehicles go opposite each other, it is very likely that they will not be able to cross, what is the use of such a road.
And four meters wide is different, not to mention a four-wheeled vehicle, even if there is a sedan in the future, an off-road vehicle or something, it is no problem, you can pass two cars.
"Brother, there's no need for this, three meters wide is enough. ”
"Not enough. Ye Lin shook his head, then looked at the third Ye Kai and said, "Let me ask you, on a three-meter-wide road, if there are two jeeps going against each other, can you go over?"
"It should be no problem! I forgot to lean on the side of the road, and it should be okay in the past. ”
Hearing Ye Kai say this, Ye Lin shook his head helplessly and said, "Since this is the case, why not make it a little wider to make it more convenient for everyone." ”
"Money! brother, one more meter to repair, but there is a lot of extra money!"
Ye Lin wanted to slap him in the head, but no matter what, he was also the head of a county now, so it could be regarded as saving him some face.
"You know the money, didn't I give the money? That's it, of course, you can disagree, then I won't donate. ”
"Don't, don't, brother, okay, I agree, but I have to discuss this matter with Wang Ji first. ”
"No problem, there's one more thing. ”
"Brother, you say. ”
"When roads are built, people from nearby villages are used to build each road, and they are told that this is for them to build their own roads. ”
"Uh, brother, why is that?"
"Because they will work harder, they will build better, and they will build roads for themselves, and they will not be perfunctory. ”
"Well, I understand, I will discuss it with Wang Ji, and there is also the matter of wages, which should also be discussed. ”
Early the next morning, before Ye Lin and Wang Hui got up, there was a knock on the door outside.
Ye Lin opened his eyes, then began to get dressed, and after getting dressed, he went out and opened the door outside.
"Uh! ”
That's right, it was Ye Kai who knocked on the door, but there was also Wang Ji who came with him who gave two bottles of Yanghe Daqu.
"Hello Mr. Ye! I just found out that you are a businessman. This Wang Ji hurriedly stretched out his hands.
Ye Lin also stretched out his hand to shake him and said, "Hello, hello, please come in." ”
The three of them came to the living room and sat down together, and Wang Ji said: "Mr. Ye, I heard Ye County say that you want to donate 10 million to Caizhou County to repair the road?"
"That's right. Ye Lin nodded.
"Great, the roads in Caizhou County are so bad, I've been trying to do it all these years, but the county doesn't have the money. ”
"Wang Ji, I wonder if all this money can be used to repair the road?"
"No problem, absolutely no problem, and Ye County and I promise you that absolutely every penny will be used to repair the road. ”
"Hahaha! Then there's no problem, I'll give you this money at any time. ”
"Good. ”
Then the three of them chatted for a long time, mainly about when to start construction, how to start construction, and who to let the construction begin.
Although Caizhou County is also a highway bureau and also has a construction unit, only one construction unit obviously cannot meet the needs, so Wang Ji and Ye Kai decided to prepare to ask for help from several surrounding counties and cities.
Of course, it's not a request for help! The comparison is not free, and money has to be given, which is estimated to be done by some people in the future generations.
But in this era, without approval, those construction units will not come, which is why Wang Ji uses the word for help.
The foundation is still handed over to the local farmers, and the wages are given, although not much, but the management of food, in the words of Wang Ji, does not need to pay wages, nor does it need to manage food, because every year there will be the task of repairing roads and canals.
But Ye Lin thought about it and still giving, because if you don't give money and don't eat, everyone won't have so much enthusiasm, in order to improve everyone's enthusiasm, it's better to give money and manage food.
Ye Lin didn't know that in the countryside in this era, there would be these tasks every year, and the peasants would go to build roads and canals, not only did they not get paid, but they also had to bring their own food.
Moreover, in this era, there is no such thing as centimeters, that is to say, the work is completely wasted, and every household has to send someone to it.
A week later, construction was taking place throughout Caizhou County, and there were special people to mark the line, and then the repair began.
Of course, this is only the first step, which is to widen the old road before, and then put it on the soil, and if it is done here, there will be a roller over there to roll these roads.
Then it is said that the sand and gravel are then paved, then pressed, and finally the cement pavement is laid.
Of course, this is a whole set of processes, and there is no one at present, and it is only widened and reinforced at present.
It can be said that you can't go anywhere you want to drive now, so you can only drive on national and provincial highways.
Because no matter where you turn up, you're building a road.
Yes, there is a national highway in Caizhou County, National Highway 106, and it passes directly from the county seat, but unfortunately this national highway has not brought any development to Caizhou County.
The reason for this is not that this national highway is bad, in fact, the reason is that the roads in the territory are not good, and things cannot be transported, even if there is a national highway, what can it do.
It's still useless, and there is no industry in Caizhou County, not even a factory, and the most famous place in Caizhou County is the winery, Cai Hongfang.
This is also the only factory in Caizhou County, I heard that this wine has a history of 2,000 years, but in later generations, Ye Lin does not seem to have heard of this name.
It is said to have a history of 2,000 years, which should be regarded as a long history, and it is impossible not to be famous.
The only possibility is that it was not done, and the reason why it was not done, needless to say, because there was no money.
Otherwise, the history of 2,000 years is no worse than that of Moutai and Wuliangye.
If you don't know, forget it, now that you know, it is impossible for Ye Lin to let it be buried, so Ye Lin is ready to invest in this winery.
But this matter has to be pushed back, at least not until the road is repaired.
What's more, Cai Hongfang is a state-owned distillery, and it is not so easy to invest in a state-owned distillery, at least not at present.
Of course, this is only for others, and it may be much easier for Ye Lin, after all, there is Ye Kai here, and there is also Wang Ji.
If the two of them knew that Ye Lin was going to invest in the distillery, they would be very happy! After all, the distillery is now half-dead, and even the salary is about to be paid.
Cai Hongfang's wine is very delicious, Ye Lin has drunk it, it can be said that it is definitely not worse than Moutai and Wuliangye, the reason why this is the current situation is mainly because he has not gone out.
So far, this wine has only been sold locally, but what is the local situation, few people have the money to buy it.
This is not because the local protection has not gone out, but to put it bluntly, it is because there is no money and there is no way to expand the outside business.
Because of the road construction, Wang Hui and her family had no way to run too far with their children, so they could only go to the Hewu Gate every day to play.
