But in reality, the transportation network can play a role in more than military convenience.

If you want to build a transportation network all over the world, you will need a lot of manpower, right?

If in peacetime, hundreds of thousands of people were used to work hard, Li Shimin would have to be labeled as a tyrant who was tyrannical like the first emperor.

But what if it is in the year of the great famine, when the people are not happy?

Gathering those who are hungry to work for relief not only obtains a lot of manpower, but also solves the impact of natural disasters, not to mention the economic and livelihood effects that such a large-scale national project can stimulate.

The main thing is that Bai Yuqi's plan is not just to solve the current food shortage.

It is more to avoid the big drought and locust plague in the coming year, and to minimize the possible population loss caused by natural and man-made disasters.

It is not only to keep the seeds of prosperity for Datang, but also to retain enough sources of faith for themselves!

What is Bai Yuqi's plan to open a transportation company?

In addition to preparing to open up the water and grain transportation routes in the south to ensure that the reduction in grain production caused by the locust plague in Guanzhong next year will not lead to a sharp decline in the population.

The most important thing is to take the opportunity of opening up the water transportation route to build a river embankment to avoid the flood of Zhenguan for three years...... After repairing the embankment, are you still afraid of flooding?

The original "New Chang'an Plan" was also based on this consideration.

He planned to use the construction of a new Chang'an as an excuse to take out food from the Shandong family and the Guanlongmen valve to prepare for the disaster.

But the Lingnan dog family who was born out of nowhere, while bringing Bai Yuqi an additional option, also brought him a big problem.

Don't look at Feng Zhidai, who sent 500,000 stone of grain as soon as he came, and squandered it to support Bai Yuqi's "house speculation plan".

But the problem is that Lingnan, like Shandong, has grain, but it can't be shipped!

On the Shandong side, the Turks blocked the trade routes, while the Lingnan side was blocked by miasma because of the high mountains and long roads.

500,000 stone of grain, but equivalent to nearly 30,000 tons, in the future may be a train or a few cargo ships can be done, but in the early Tang Dynasty, only relying on people to pick up horses, the year of the monkey and the month of the horse can be transported to Chang'an?

What's more, the loss of people eating horses during transportation is probably several times that of 500,000 stones.

The transportation trip either led to the high cost of food, or because the gains outweighed the losses, causing Feng to give up.

Therefore, if you want to get the grain donated by the Feng family, and build the south into a food source for disaster preparedness, you must first open up the grain transportation channel.

Regardless of whether Feng Zhidai shouted out first to save his life, he wouldn't lose money if he couldn't get it out anyway, or he deliberately embarrassed him Emperor Wuji.

Now that Feng Shi has said it, Bai Yuqi has no intention of letting him go, and he has to implement this matter for him, so that he will regret it and regret it!

After thinking about it carefully, Bai Yuqi felt that since he had done it, he should simply take a bigger step and draw the cooking cake a little rounder.

Solve the internal problems of Datang once and for all, so that he can think about how to harvest the faith of the people of Datang with peace of mind, instead of being blocked everywhere when he wants to do everything he wants like now.

After a period of deliberation, the Tang monarchs and ministers were happy and worried.

An amphibious transportation network throughout the entire territory of Datang, do you want it?

But the question is: How much manpower and material resources would it take to build such a huge project?

I won't talk about it before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and after the founding of the country, it was also a continuous war, and the year was not as good as a year.

Now, the little money left over from the previous dynasty is about to be exhausted, and he can't even raise the grain and baggage to fight against the Turks.

Under the disasters for many years, the Tang Dynasty is suffering from external worries and internal difficulties, the poor Li Shimin, the emperor, has to cut back on food and clothing, and the eldest grandson empress has to be diligent and thrifty to mobilize palace maids and eunuchs, and embroidery fabrics to subsidize the fields used in the forbidden palace.

Unless......

Seeing that the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were all staring at themselves.

Obviously, they were all counting on him, an immortal, to perform immortal methods, and with a wave of his hand, the roads of the entire territory of Datang were paved.

Bai Yuqi smiled slightly, what good thing do you think?

Not to mention that he, a fairy-level immortal of the land, can also show off on the one-third of an acre of land in Zhongnan Mountain.

If you want to pretend to beep when you get out of the Chang'an realm, I'm afraid that you won't have to show your stuffing when you make a move, even if he can really wave his hand, but why?

The law can't be passed on lightly, can this miracle immortal method be used casually?

Fortunately, when I discussed with Li Shimin several times, I had already made it clear to him with the principle of "equivalent exchange".

It is not impossible for him to take action for free and help Datang ascend to the sky in one step and develop into a "fairy realm heavenly palace" like the upper realm.

But because he is an outsider, he interferes with the operation and natural development of the Heavenly Machine, and under the correction of the Heavenly Dao Rotation, it will inevitably make Datang pay the price.

As for what the price is, it may be national fortune, it may be a natural disaster, it may also be a man-made disaster, in short, there will be gains and losses, and there is no advantage in vain in this world.

This reason made the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers not dare to make any non-trivial demands easily, so they could only wait for him, the immortal, to take the initiative to make a decision.

"This 'deal' doesn't require Your Majesty to pay a penny of grain and money!"

"As long as the policy is supported, not only can we get a water and land transportation network all over Datang, but also the prosperity of Datang is just around the corner!"

Bai Yuqi took out the "Crowdfunding Road Repair Sectional Toll Plan" that he had been planning for a long time, and explained it to the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, "Tiangongmen Infrastructure Construction Company" will join hands with "Datang Economic Development Commercial Bank" to jointly establish "Datang Transportation Investment Group".

According to the development needs, the intercity and interstate roads of Datang Ten Roads will be gradually built, and handed over to the "Yuntong Group" to operate and manage, and the investment will be recovered by collecting tolls.

However, in order to reduce the burden of raising materials and share the risk of investment, the equity will be split into the following according to the "shareholding system":

The imperial court invested in policies and land, accounting for 10%;

"Yuntong Group" is responsible for management and operation, accounting for 10%;

"Tiangong Infrastructure" is invested in technology and manpower, accounting for 30%;

"Economic and Development Commercial Bank" shares in capital and materials, accounting for 40%;

The remaining 10% will be issued according to the construction cost of the road sections, and the number of shares will be issued.

It is used by the people of the state capital, county and county through the road to buy shares, and the collected tolls are distributed proportionally on an annual basis.

The detailed share value will be surveyed and estimated by "Tiangong Infrastructure", and then handed over to the "Economic and Issuing Commercial Bank" for accounting and issuance......
