Chapter 268: Speculators

Wang Mengzheng left happily, he was a shrewd businessman, and in his eyes Zhao Zhen's proposal was not a kind of squeeze but an investment with high returns.

Originally, he thought that the construction of the cement road would bankrupt the Wang family, but now it seems to be a profitable business, but he didn't expect that the emperor's son-in-law was really a boy with scattered wealth.

No...... To be precise, it should be the lucky star of the Wang family.

Through Zhao Zhen's explanation, he fully understands the benefits of building a cement road, which is a path of hope for both sides.

The imperial court has an additional road with a strong transportation capacity that is far better than Caoyun, and the Wang family has an additional road to get rich with a steady stream of daily income.

Not only that, Wang Mengzheng was inspired by Zhao Zhen to find out how many opportunities this great project would provide for the people of the Great Song Dynasty to eat, and that the construction of roads would require stones, lime, labor, and so on.

Each of these will lead to a new industry, Wang Mengzheng decided to use the power of the Wang family to build this road between the city of Tokyo and the city, so he will not consider the proposal of the official family, how can such a large meal be shared with other merchants?

He saw the long-term gains, which made him press all his net worth. How much more is it to build roads......

Although the official's proposal is good, who can resist the temptation of a single family?

After Wang Mengzheng left, Wang Yuyan quietly walked into the Moon Gate, which is the most private place in the back garden, surrounded by rockeries, it is really the most suitable place to whisper, pull a small hand, and kiss the small mouth......

A small pavilion is located in the valley between the rockeries, the royal things are so luxurious, even the rockeries are similar to the real mountains, but more clean and refreshing, there are not so many weeds and the like, when Wang Mengzheng left, Sancai brought the palace maid to serve.

In the final analysis, they are all servants of the heavenly family, Wang Yuyan doesn't care about being intimate with the official family in front of them, in her opinion, this is nothing, but Zhao Zhen can't let go of the obstacles in his heart, and a pair of shoes that flew out made Sancai leave quickly with the palace maids.

Wang Yuyan pouted and leaned into Zhao Zhen's arms, glanced at Vera who was peeping in the distance dissatisfied, and said: "If you like the official family, you can include Vera in the harem, and the concubine will never obstruct it!" ”

Zhao Zhen playfully picked up her crystal chin with her fingers, and the smooth and tender hand felt like a boiled and peeled egg.

"You don't have to atone for your father's sins like this, and I didn't punish him much, just let the Wang family and him temporarily tighten their belts, and if the cement road is built, the Wang family will be reborn from the ashes."

After Zhao Zhen's simple explanation, Wang Yuyan excitedly sent a fragrant kiss, not because Zhao Zhen took care of the Wang family, but because she knew that the Wang family got all this because of Zhao Zhen's love for herself.

He didn't want to see himself sad, and he didn't want to see the Wang family go unpunished, so he used this method to punish the Wang family, but this punishment was a poison that the Wang family was willing to drink.

Vera stared at the fragrant scene in front of her with wide eyes, her heart was stirring faster and faster, and her face was getting redder and redder, how could she not know how to please her master as a former slave girl, she had also seen this kind of scene, and she knew every detail, Vera could definitely say that she could do better than the queen!

When he saw Wang Yuyan's eyes skimming behind the rockery intentionally or unintentionally, Zhao Zhen turned his head to take a look, and now he knew why Wang Yuyan had become as hard working as Yang Caiwei today......

The harem is a big quagmire, as long as there are more women, don't think about getting along well and other things, even Wang Yuyan, who is knowledgeable, can't be excepted.

What is a Queen? The queen is the lord of the six palaces, although she is in charge of everything in the harem, she is also a person, as long as she is a person, she has her own selfishness, even if Wang Yuyan has been mentally prepared early on, she constantly reminds herself to be generous, but when she sees the peeping Vera, she still can't help showing off......

For the eighteen-year-old boy who tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, he must be happy after a cloud and rain, but the third found that the official family was an exception, not only did not sink into the gentle township, but also became more diligent.

How could he not know what happened in the back garden yesterday? Besides, the night is another lingering, but today the official family still gets up on time at three o'clock, and the queen is lazy like a cat.

Sancai secretly admired the dragon and tiger of the official family......

Under Vera's resentful eyes, Zhao Zhen patted her buttocks unhappily, and the elastic feel almost made him plan to stop the dynasty today, but thinking of the importance of the road, he decided to hold back.

The most successful thing for a person is not how much money he makes, nor how much power he has, but how much power he can successfully restrain his desires, some people are lost in front of power, some people are lost in front of money, and even some people are lost in front of food, desire is the most difficult devil in the world to control, but it is also the treasure that makes people work hard.

The construction of cement road is imminent, Zhao Zhen personally tested, cement road has earth-shaking changes in the transportation industry of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is cattle and horses or donkeys and mules, as long as the flat cement road is much faster than on the dirt road, the wheels will reduce resistance because of flatness, land transportation will become more efficient!

The Song people did not dare to rush at night, firstly, because they would get lost in the wilderness late at night, after all, the official roads were not all over the country, and secondly, the road surface was uneven, and there were no less than hundreds of people who fell to death and injured every year, not only people had losses, but even horses would break their legs or fall to their deaths in the hoof pits.

But the cement road is different, the road is gentle, not to mention the animal labor, but also run more steady, as long as the horse does not gallop at night, there will generally be no big problem, if the eyes are good, even in the gallop of the big night is not a difficult thing, after all, the night of the Song Dynasty is very bright, as long as it is a sunny weather, a round of crescent moon can be illuminated, not to mention the glimmer of the stars.

Running on land is definitely faster than sailing in the water, just as a swimmer is certainly not as fast as running.

And Cao Yun is mostly affected by the water ripple conditions, many places are inconvenient, and the land route will not, and the road is open to the water and the bridge is to build a bridge in the mountains, and everyone knows the shortest straight line between the two points.

The court has begun to argue about the matter of the cement road, and everyone has a great interest and opinion on this matter.

Lu Zongdao shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, although this cement road is good, it is too far from Tokyo City to Guancheng, and it is really inappropriate to spend too much labor!" ”

Zhao Zhen asked curiously: "What did Lu say about participating in politics, what do you do without wasting labor?" Besides, it's not that you don't have to pay for it......"

"Make up the money?!"

Not only Lu Zongdao was surprised, but even Ding Wei screamed as if he had seen a ghost.

This is something that has never been heard of, road construction is an act of the state, of course, you have to use free labor to work, and you have to give some food every day, and now the official family actually has to pay for it, isn't this a hiring?

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Of course, the money is compensated, and the labor is still apportioned from the people of Kaifeng Mansion, even the official eunuchs have to be sent out!" If you don't have to pay taxes, you have to pay taxes, and the clan is no exception! ”

The officials were frightened by Zhao Zhen's words, how could there be a reason to even have to be out of the eunuch's house, this is simply a shame for the scholar class.

In their inherent thinking, they believe that labor is cheap labor, and the common people can serve, but the children of officials and eunuchs cannot, and even the merchants who live more decently cannot.

Wang Zeng said: "Is there something wrong with the official family's move, after all, the labor has never been apportioned to the eunuchs' families, and even if the eunuchs' families are apportioned, they will pay for the service...... Wouldn't this be a matter of asking for money from the eunuchs? ”

Wang Zeng's words speak to the hearts of many people, and this kind of behavior of the official family is really difficult for them to accept.

"What the prince said is too much! I, Lu Zongdao, am willing to send my descendants to the next generation, not only without having to pay money, but also letting my children and grandchildren know the hardships of labor and the preciousness of labor in exchange for money! ”

Sure enough, it was Lu Zongdao, and Zhao Zhen's heart was full of relief.

Xia Zhu glanced at the official family on the throne and then said: "Minister Xia Zhu is willing to let the juniors of the family go to labor in person like Lu participated in politics!" ”

Regarding Xia Zhu's words, Zhao Zhen only regarded it as a joke, what kind of person Zhao Zhen knew best, a sophisticated and cunning political speculator.
