"Sell Newspaper~Sell Newspaper~"

"If you want to get rich, build roads first~"

"The imperial court will build a number of cement roads in various parts of Daming~"

In the streets and alleys of the capital, with the rising sun, the voice of the newsboy began to fill the streets and alleys.

This has almost become a beautiful scenery in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

"Bring me one~"

"Bring me one~"

The old and young masters in the capital are also accustomed to getting up early to read the newspaper, and there are all kinds of new news every day, and there are also national events that everyone cares about.

Buying a newspaper, reading the newspaper quietly, and enjoying breakfast at the same time, this kind of life is the beginning of a new day for the old and young masters in the capital.

If you want to say that the most lively places in this morning, it is the teahouse, teahouse and the like.

Invite three or five friends, order a pot of tea, and then have breakfast, sit down and drink tea and eat breakfast slowly, while reading the newspaper, by the way, the feelings of the heroes of the green plum cooking wine seem to have been deeply imprinted in the bones of this nation.

Even if he is a small citizen in the market, he can also tell you some of his views on current affairs.

"Great~"

"The imperial court is finally going to build a large number of roads~"

"Brother Li, Brother Wang, look at it, this first route is from Tianjin to the south to Shandong, and then from Shandong to the south of Zhili~"

"If this cement road is repaired, it will be faster and easier for us to come to the Beijing-Tianjin area from Shandong in the future."

When someone saw the latest newspaper, they couldn't help but applaud.

The convenience of the cement road, everyone has already experienced, many places want to build the cement road, but the cement road is built is an extremely large project, but the investment is huge.

Cement, now the price has risen again!

Yes, it has gone up in price.

Although large-scale cement plants are now being built in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and cement output is doubling year by year, it is still difficult to increase the market demand.

Cement, it's so easy to use.

Repair bridges and pave roads, build houses and tiles, it is indispensable everywhere, and the things built with cement are solid and durable, and they quickly became popular in all parts of Daming, and the demand is becoming more and more vigorous.

This has also led to the continuous rise in the price of cement.

The cement required to build a cement road is not a small amount, and the local governments in Daming do not have enough funds to bear it, and the construction of cement roads also requires a huge amount of labor, professional personnel and so on.

So although everyone is eager to build a cement road, but so far, there are few cement roads in Daming, and only in a few places, rich people have paid to build some small sections of cement roads in front of their homes.

Now seeing that the imperial court has finally come up with a new plan, ready to start large-scale construction of cement roads in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, it suddenly began to boil.

"Great~"

"This time, the planned route has our Shanxi, and it will be much more convenient to return to Shanxi in the future, and it can be much faster to travel to and from the capital."

"Isn't it, in the past, it took at least two or three days from Tianjin to the capital, but since there is this cement road, it only takes two or three hours."

"And ah, this cement road is so comfortable to walk on, very smooth, the four-wheeled carriage can transport goods much faster, and the carrying capacity can be larger."

"From Taiyuan in Shanxi Province to the capital in the future, ten days is enough."

"But isn't it, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to the imperial court starting to build cement roads on a large scale, and in the future, it will be much more convenient for us to do business."

Some people were overjoyed, looking at the route written in the newspaper, passing by their hometown, and immediately happy.

"Bang~"

"Deceive too much~ Deceive too much~"

"Why did the cement road to Shandong bypass our Leling and go over Texas, isn't this bullying us that there is no one in the Leling court."

"It's too much to deceive, too much to deceive~"

"It's really too deceitful~"

"We Leling people must unite, go, go, contact the Leling officials in the court, and find them to uphold justice~"

Some people look angry after reading the planned road map.

Without it, because the planned concrete road coincidentally bypassed their hometown, which made them feel extremely angry.

Cement highway is such a thing, it is too important, it greatly facilitates the external traffic of a place, look at the villages and towns that have developed rapidly along the Beijing-Tianjin cement road.

As the newspaper said, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and when the roads are repaired, you will naturally become rich.

At that time, it will be very convenient to do whatever you do, and you will make a fortune in whatever you do.

If nothing else, let's just talk about these places along the Beijing-Tianjin cement road.

In the past, the family raised a pig, a few chickens, ducks and geese, etc., because the road was inconvenient, so they could only be sold to the nearest market, even if the price was cheap, the key was that it was not easy to sell, because everyone had no money.

But that's no longer the case.

Tianjin and Beijing are like two huge beasts, and the amount of food, meat, eggs, etc. that need to be consumed every day is an extremely large number.

And because it is located on the Beijing-Tianjin line, you don't need to go out, there are special businessmen to come to buy, and then sell to Beijing and Tianjin.

Now along the Beijing-Tianjin Highway, there are already many people in the villages who specialize in raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and sheep on a large scale, which is very profitable.

This is the huge impact of the cement road, which is not only convenient for transportation, but also can drive the development of a place.

Factories, workshops and the like need convenient transportation, with cement roads, there will naturally be people on both sides of the road to set up factories, help workshops, when the time comes, recruitment, employment, etc., these can drive the development of the highway along the way.

Now the imperial court has begun to build roads on a large scale, but it has bypassed its hometown, which makes many people seem very atmospheric.

In the house of Zeng Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the threshold is about to be broken.

"Zeng Gong~Zeng Gong~"

In Zeng Jian's living room, Liu Jian, the first assistant to the cabinet, came to visit Zeng Jian in person.

"Liu Gong's visit to the humble house is really brilliant."

Zeng Jian looked at Liu Jian, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, although he is also one of the six departments, but this Ministry of Industry is the most disadvantaged, the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion and assessment of officials in the world, and the Ministry of Officials is known as the Heavenly Official.

This military department was in charge of military power before, and it was even more powerful, that is, now there is no military power, but the status is still higher than that of the Ministry of Industry.

The household department is in charge of the world's money, grain and population, and its position is not comparable to that of the Ministry of Industry, and even the Ministry of Rites is also in charge of the interests of the imperial court, and its status is much higher than that of the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, Liu Jian has never taken the initiative to visit him, after all, he is the first assistant of the cabinet, the head of a hundred officials, and everyone has always visited Liu Jian.

After a polite greeting, Liu Jian said with a sad face: "Zeng Gong, why didn't the cement highway planned by the imperial court go to Henan?" ”

As soon as he heard Liu Jian's words, Zeng Jian suddenly smiled slightly in his heart.

Since the imperial court was going to build cement roads on a large scale across the country, his house has not been quiet, and there are too many people visiting before and after.

Officials large and small in the government and the opposition, as well as those large and small cement factory owners in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the threshold of his family is about to be broken.

This has never been something before.

In the past, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and there were no people who came to visit him.

Because he doesn't have any real power in his hands at all, and he doesn't have any interests, and he doesn't have any right to speak in the government and the opposition, so naturally few people come to visit.

"Liu Gong, you also know that the cement road planned to be built by the imperial court this year is just the beginning, and this year is just to start repairing it first and accumulate experience."

"It will be next year that we will really start planning a number of routes, and then it will cover the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Daming, and Henan is located in the center of Daming, so there will naturally be."

Zeng Jian thought for a while and said.

This line is planned by the Ministry of Industry, and the construction of the cement road will also be presided over by the Ministry of Industry, and the cost will be paid by the Ministry of Households.

This can be regarded as the most influential and status moment since he became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and even this Liu Jian had to intercede for his hometown Henan.

"Zeng Gong, of course I know this, but I don't know if the route to the south can be changed?"

Liu Jian nodded, he was actually reluctant to come.

But there is no way, the newly planned cement road does not have Henan's share.

There are two main routes out this time, one is to the west, from the capital to Shanxi and then to Shaanxi, bypassing Henan from the north.

The other one is to the south, starting from Tianjin, passing through Dezhou to Jinan, Shandong, and then going directly to the south to Nanjing, and bypassing Henan from the east.

You say that this is not angry, the officials from Henan are angry, and many people come directly to Zeng Jian, if Zeng Jian wants to change the planned route, there must be a line from Henan.

It's just an ordinary person, Zeng Jian didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, although this household department has money, but it is still very picky, this budget is so much, if you go around, this budget will not be enough at that time.

What's more, today Zhang San came to find himself and asked to change to the door of Zhang San's house, and tomorrow Li Si came to find him again and asked to change to the door of Li Si's house, and he didn't want to do it.

But I didn't expect that today, even Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, came to him and spoke for his hometown of Henan.

There is no way, this kind of thing has been like this since ancient times, speaking for one's hometown, this is a righteous thing that can also gain a good reputation, everyone likes to do, and must do it.
