Road construction is a small or big project.

People of this era also built roads frequently, and the official road construction was mainly concentrated on the main roads and railways.

The people are mainly some good people who build bridges and roads.

It is not uncommon for such things to exist as road construction, but it is basically a modern thing to do road construction as a super project.

Master Jiang said, "You and I talk carefully, what's so good about this method?" ”

Wang Lanling explained: "There are many things to say about this, now the imperial court has started from the Holy Emperor to the present, and all road construction is the court's own business, just like doing good deeds." ”

"Most of these roads are used for their own use, so there have always been some problems, and adults should have realized this on the road from Tongzhou to Muzhou."

Master Jiang said: "The road here is bumpy, the road is full of potholes, and it is obviously negligent in maintenance. ”

Wang Lanling responded: "Shanhai County is a poor place, naturally there is no extra money to do this, and the road construction I mentioned is the way to solve this problem." ”

Master Jiang quickly said, "You say! ”

Wang Lanling has been thinking about how to deal with the empire's economic crisis for a long time, this matter is not a matter of one or two days, basically people who care about current affairs are thinking of a way.

"The main cost of road construction is money, which is to pay for the cost of materials and the cost of laborers, and if this cost is paid from the imperial court, the whole country will add up, and it will naturally be a big number."

"As I said earlier, building a road can solve the problem of the upper, middle and lower levels."

"If people at the bottom build roads, they will have jobs, they will have a place to get money, and they will not make trouble because they have something to do."

"The stones, river sand, and cement needed to build roads are available everywhere, and as long as the government allows mining, the price is not a problem at all."

"I have mobilized tens of thousands of people to do this kind of conscription, and in this kind of matter, my suggestion is not to open conscription, but to pay money, hire a group of people to build roads, and the local governments themselves find ways to buy materials for paving roads and bridges."

Lord Jiang thought about Wang Lanling's words, he was seeking a plan for his son this time, whether a plan is good or not, first of all, he wants to think.

Wang Lanling's management ability, many people know, although most of the time everyone doesn't care about this, but whether it is water control or organizing county people to fight back against thousands of horse bandits, many people know.

This qualification is particularly convincing at critical moments.

"Why can't you be sent to the army?" Master Jiang raised his own question, "If it is a conscription, isn't this saving money?" ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "No, there is such a thing as money, as long as it is printed, then there is, the empire is not a problem of lack of money now, it is that money is starting to become worthless!" ”

"Take the few truckloads of things you have outside, my lord, the things are the same, but the money to buy these things this year is a lot different from that of five years ago, right?"

Master Jiang showed a thoughtful look, full of doubts and puzzlement, "I'm still a little confused, if it's worthless...... Why isn't there a shortage of money? I've heard from a few gentlemen that now the imperial court is actually short of money, and the saint is also thinking of collecting money and taxes. ”

The gap between the times is here, and some things are difficult to understand even if they are spoken.

Wang Lanling believes that there is a kind of wise man in this era who can understand his words and understand it at all, but the Jiang family ...... Not seen at this time.

I'm afraid that even the emperor himself thinks it's a problem of lack of money.

The economic crisis has never been solved by printing paper money, nor by collecting taxes.

"It's hard to explain, there's a lot to say, and to put it simply, there are fewer people who spend money."

The essence of the problem is still the problem of the big landlords and aristocratic forces represented by the Jiang family, these people have absorbed a lot of wealth, occupied various resources, and when they kept opening their mouths to ask for food, they were held up by the old emperor with a bowl of rice......

These people were uncomfortable choking on the big cake, and the people below didn't get any scum, and the economy of the entire empire was naturally blocked like this.

When the choked person dies and someone replaces it, it will flow a little more.

In general, at present, the old emperor has always been taking a solution that is not a solution, and he himself is not aware of it, and is solving the problem.

Half of the entrepreneurs are dead, and the economy will naturally recover.

This kind of thing is impossible in the normal world, it will be countered by the capitalists, but this era is different, and the emperor here counts.

If someone told the old emperor that killing more people could solve the current problem, then the old emperor would definitely speed up!

Wang Lanling refused to be this wicked man, if he said so, he would also be buried with him, and the whole family would not die well.

Since ancient times, those who persuaded the emperor to kill people did not end well.

How to explain the internal reason for this road construction, Wang Lanling is not easy to explain, he thought of a solution to the problem, but he did not think about how to tell the Jiang family the reason euphemistically.

What if you can't say it, what if you say it?

"I still don't understand." Master Jiang didn't understand, and he never understood why he said that there is no shortage of money now, obviously he is short of money?

Wang Lanling said: "If there is no forced labor, those people will work faster and harder, and when these people have money, they will buy things." ”

"When they have money, they won't make trouble, they will think about exchanging money for something more valuable."

"After the road is built, it will be more convenient for people in each county and county town to do business, and the people below will have more places to spend money."

"As long as each county arranges for people to collect fees for the use of the road after repairing a section of the road, then it will naturally gradually make up for the loss of road construction."

Master Jiang thought for a few seconds, and quickly said, "I still don't understand, even if I take back all these people's money later, it's better not to give it in the first place, isn't it more convenient?" ”

Lord Wang was dumbfounded, this ......

If you can't solve the problem, don't solve it, this is the valuable experience gained from Wang Lanling's three years of study at the official school.

"Let the construction of toll roads in various places make it faster to open to traffic, so that all kinds of personnel of the imperial court can better travel to the subordinate states and counties, and strengthen the central government's control over the localities."

"After the road is opened, the speed of the car can be increased faster, and the time for collecting taxes will be greatly reduced."

"Compared to the cost of laying railroad tracks, the fraud of building roads is lower, there is no need to build rails after leveling the ground, roads can be built on steep slopes and mountains, and the rails cannot go up and down the slopes, so they are more expensive."

"There are more people doing business in various places, and the collection of taxes is more clear and convenient, and the merchants who are generally nested in their own small land do not have much tax to pay, and if they go thousands of miles to do business elsewhere, they must be to make a lot of money, and they can pay taxes if they have money."

Wang Lanling directly crossed the question of the lower class people and explained the benefits of this road construction from the first and second layers.

Master Jiang thought about it and finally came to a conclusion.

"I still don't think it's good, it's just a way to collect money, how can the saint be able to take a look at it?"

This person still doesn't understand.

"Every county in the country has a paid toilet, and the whole country is not a small number!"

Wang Lanling said with an unhappy face: "If the adults can't believe it, then forget it!" I'll keep it for myself, and I'll give it to the Holy One for reference! ”

Seeing that Wang Lanling lost his temper, Lord Jiang was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, "Sir, please sit, please sit." ”

In the eyes of Lord Jiang, Wang Lanling is young and vigorous, and loves to scold, although he is a madman, he is really talented and learns, and he talks about rules.

His son got a good plan from Wang Lanling a few years ago, and Wang Lanling has not revealed it at all, and he took the initiative to apply to go to Muzhou.

This is a good person, but his temper is a little worse.

That's what Master Jiang thinks.

The rumors of Wang Lanling's bad temper are as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as his ability.
