Chapter 809

Every city is built from scratch, and it is all in ruins, and the construction of the fiefdom involves all aspects, which is far from being something that Wang Chong can take care of alone. At present, on Wang Chong's side, only Xu Qiqin has this ability, and can handle all kinds of complicated things in an orderly and proper manner. More importantly, war is not only about troops, but also about logistics.

In the future battle of Talas, Wang Chong could not be single-minded, and someone must help share the pressure and handle the logistics.

"Hmm. ”

Xu Qiqin smiled slightly, answered softly, and followed Wang Chong's footsteps.

The two stood side by side, the golden boy and the girl, like a beautiful landscape, attracting countless eyes in the steel city. Xu Qiqin followed behind Wang Chong, smiling at the corners of her mouth, looking around curiously, but she didn't know that she and Wang Chong had become the focus of everyone.

......

Time passed slowly, and when Wang Chong was taking care of the affairs of the Steel City in Wusheng, Zhao Jingdian was also dealing with the affairs on the cement road on another front.

"Hey-ha!"

The sound of trumpets resounded through the road, from the capital to the Western Regions, an unprecedented, blue-white, cement-made road, like a sober dragon, extending continuously on the earth.

Countless families, countless manpower and material resources, endlessly, like a turbulent river, have been invested in this unprecedented "cement road".

On this road to the Western Regions, dozens or even hundreds of miles of roads are built every day. It's flat, smooth, and hard, and everyone is amazed.

Watching an unprecedented, new road system, taking shape and rapidly extending with my own participation, made everyone excited and delighted.

The Silk Road is the Golden Road, the most famous road in the whole world, and the most famous and wealthy jewelry merchants, agate merchants, and spice merchants in the whole world are all between the east and the west......

If this road is built, everyone can expect huge profits from it.

"Boom!"

The sound of wheels resounded through the void, and as thousands of workers joined in the construction of the road, a special horse-drawn carriage with green mantles drove on the newly built concrete road, which looked extremely eye-catching.

However, none of the craftsmen paid attention to it. After working on this newly built cement road for a long time, everyone has long been accustomed to the existence of this green mantle carriage.

Every morning, it departs from Kyoto and follows the newly built road. Then, at noon, the turnaround began.

Day after day, it never changes.

"Lord Zhao, how is it?"

In the spacious carriage with green mantles, a flattering voice suddenly said cautiously. When all the craftsmen were in full swing to work, not many people noticed that in the corner of the carriage, the curtain was opened, and two eyes looked out of the window silently through the carriage window.

"Hmm. ”

Zhao Jingdian only responded slightly, and his eyes silently looked at the side of the road, watching those craftsmen water these newly built cement roads over and over again.

The cement road is not simply built successfully, after the construction is completed, it is also necessary to water and maintain the road, which Wang Chong repeatedly explained in his letters. At the same time, it is also very important to Zhao Jingdian.

"Hehe, it's good that your lord is satisfied! Now that our alliance has taken over everything, we will definitely do our best to help Hou Ye and build this cement road from Jingshi to Wusheng. In addition, our various families also have shares in the city of steel...... , by the way, it's the word share, right, it's weird...... In short, we and Hou Ye are in the same boat, we are all our own people, and Hou Ye's affairs are our own affairs. It's ......"

Beside Zhao Jingdian, a master of the family who looked a little obscene, suddenly paused when he said this, and looked flattering:

"Regarding the road construction, can you discuss it with Hou Ye again, don't change it again, and directly use the road leading to the Western Regions. It doesn't take time and effort, and it's good for everyone, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jingdian frowned, turned his head sharply, looked at the master of the alliance, and his expression suddenly became much colder.

"Do you need me to repeat Master Hou's words? No, it just doesn't work, this article is not negotiable at all, and whoever breaks this article will withdraw from the alliance. Everything about the Western Regions, including the cement road, has nothing to do with him from now on. ”

Zhao Jingdian's eyes were like swords, and under his gaze, the master of the family hurriedly lowered his head, with a weak face.

The two were talking about an agreement between Wang Chong and the family alliance that all newly built cement roads could not use the existing Silk Road, and must be newly dug roads. As a result, in addition to buying lime, clay, aluminum, and sand, the Maison Alliance had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to dig new roads.

From a business point of view, this is not in the Saga Alliance's interests.

So during this time, wave after wave of masters of the Family Alliance constantly tried to lobby Zhao Jingdian, Zhao Jingdian couldn't remember how many times it was, and each time he refused extremely firmly. Regarding this matter, Zhao Jingdian also asked Wang Chong, and Wang Chong had no reservations about him in this regard.

The emergence of the cement road, from the moment it was born, has been mighty and has become an unstoppable torrent. There is no accident, whether Wang Chong agrees or disagrees, the cement road in the future will be popular in Datang because of its convenience and speed, as well as its extremely high bearing capacity.

This means that not only from Beijing to the Western Regions, but also in other parts of the entire Tang Dynasty, there will also be a large number of cement roads.

What Wang Chong wanted to avoid was to encroach on existing roads like this, build cement roads on top of the original roads, and then collect transit fees everywhere. This will make the people complain, and make the project that originally benefited Datang become a project that scrapes the people's fat and ointment, and is useless to the country.

This is contrary to Wang Chong's original intention.

So Wang Chong would not agree no matter what, which is also what Wang Chong told him.

No matter how the Family Alliance lobbied for this, Zhao Jingdian would not agree.

"Lord Zhao is not strange, he is making a gaffe. ”

The family's alliance master hurriedly changed the subject.

"At the current rate, how long do you expect it to be able to repair the scarf?"

Zhao Jingdian didn't care about them, and suddenly spoke.

"This ...... It should take at least another four or five months. ”

The master of the family said, but he didn't seem to be too positive. Obviously, Zhao Jingdian's answer was not what he expected, and he was more or less hit.

"It's not that long, it's been too slow. ”

Zhao Jingdian frowned, this number was far from what he expected.

"You go back and tell the Family Alliance that although Childe can't promise you about using the original official road to build a cement road, if you can build this cement road within three months, Childe can also give up half of the profit on the original basis. And if you can build it in two months, our son can give up 10% of the profit. ”

As soon as Zhao Jingdian's words fell, the master of the family, who originally looked a little depressed, suddenly lit up in his eyes, his spirit was uplifted, and he was suddenly extremely excited.

"Is Lord Zhao serious?"

The master of the family said with a bright gaze.

The contract signed by Wang Chong and the Family Alliance is permanently valid, and all cement roads built by the Tang Dynasty in the future will be subject to the jurisdiction and constraints of that contract. Don't look at the difference between half or one percent, but the profits involved behind it are unimaginably huge.

And for decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years, the paper agreement will be in effect forever.

This is the charm of the paper agreement signed by Wang Chong and the family.

If Wang Chong can permanently give up one percent of the profits, the Family Alliance will definitely go crazy. All the great families will definitely do whatever it takes to build the cement road from Jingshi to Wusheng.

Compared with the huge profits that can be brought in the future, the current loss and effort are simply insignificant.

——This point can be rationally analyzed by all the great families.

"What our son said, a promise, when did you break your promise?"

Zhao Jingdian asked lightly.

"Great! Wait a minute, my lord, I will return to the alliance and discuss with the elders of the alliance—— the elders will definitely agree!"

After saying this, the master of the family pushed the door of the car sharply, and quickly disappeared outside the door with a leap, and went towards the place where the family alliance was located.

"Boom!"

Not surprisingly, Zhao Jingdian's relaying of Wang Chong's words quickly caused an uproar in the family alliance. No one thought that Wang Chong would give up such a big profit, and such conditions were simply irresistible. Suddenly, the Saga Alliance quickly responded:

Deal!!

With the conclusion of this new agreement, the construction of cement roads has suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds, and there has been a qualitative change. The construction speed, which had already reached its peak, immediately went to the next level and became more and more crazy. In order to get the profits in Wang Chong's hands, the major families have shelved a large number of family businesses, completely tilted their resources, and also sent a large number of family masters to supervise the work.

The construction of cement roads has suddenly accelerated several times.

......

Pressing Zhao Jingdian and the matter on the cement road not to mention, time flies, just a few steps away, and another tense atmosphere is slowly brewing.

"Did you find it?"

The night was low, outside the south gate of Jingshi, a gorgeous carriage stopped beside the road, and next to the carriage, a middle-aged man in his forties, standing with his hands in his hands, looking extravagant, was waiting silently. There are people around, but the middle-aged man just stands there quietly and has a temperament that stands out from the crowd.

Even the princes and magnates in the capital, compared with the temperament exuded by the middle-aged people, are overshadowed, like the fluorescent light and the bright moon.

"Back to His Royal Highness, it has been clearly investigated, on the west side of the moraine, a child named Zhang Que is following, but when it comes here, it is the eagle who is in charge. Moreover, I heard that the child named Zhang Que is a disciple of the eagle. ”

Beside King Song, on the left and on the right, stood the old butler and Lu Ting, the old butler bowed, his lips squirmed, and he spoke slowly and logically:

"In addition, I just got the news that the henchman sent by Fumeng Lingcha did not enter the west gate, but went around the south gate, taking the south gate, wanting to avoid the west gate, which was often frequented by the Hu merchants, and blended in through the south gate. ”

[Break out, seventh watch, roar ......]
