Chapter 221: Astronomical

"This in itself is not something that a few businessmen or dozens of businessmen can do."

Tang Qi said with a smile: "This is a joint fund built by businessmen from all over the world. ”

"All the merchants in the world?"

When Liu Che heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

It turns out that this is what Tang Qi meant.

All the merchants in the world, if all of them are added up, the wealth they have will definitely be an astronomical amount.

"Will they be willing, though?"

Wei Qing was a little worried.

Highway, it's a new term that people haven't even heard of.

The lack of clarity led to a lack of confidence in the project.

Refuse to take out the money casually.

This is also highly likely.

"Don't forget, the Great Han belongs to His Majesty."

Tang Qi didn't think this was a problem: "As long as His Majesty gives an order, who dares not to take the money?" ”

"Okay, I got it."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand: "I will draft the decree immediately, if anyone does not obey, I will send him to the morning gate to be beheaded." ”

“……”

Tang Qi listened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Is this going crazy?

shouting and shouting to kill at every turn.

Although the big Han is indeed the Liu family.

But why don't you keep a low profile?

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished my words yet, you wait for me to finish talking about it before I talk about it."

Tang Qi directly interrupted Liu Che's words, to be honest, he was really worried that Emperor Wu of Han would directly issue a decree to the world, and it would be too late at that time.

"Oh? What else is there to say, sir? ”

Liu Che looked at Tang Qi directly.

What Tang Qi said tonight can be said to have completely opened Liu Che's mind, and now he only wants to do it as soon as possible.

"I'm talking about working together with all the businessmen, but it's not just about getting them to pay."

Tang Qi stretched out his finger and said, "First of all, I will come up with the method of turning mud into stone, so as to select the right agent in various regions." ”

"In this way, every merchant will be able to master the technique of turning mud into stone."

"It's just that I won't charge half a dime for this technology, all they need to do is to build a highway for our Han for free."

"In addition, since the cost of building the highway is too great, the minister also implores Your Majesty to exempt these merchants from all taxes for five years!"

"These taxes include all their properties......"

"There's no problem with that."

Liu Che didn't think about it, so he agreed directly.

What are taxes for?

The purpose of collecting it is to enrich the national treasury and to do some things that the state needs to do.

Now that those businessmen are allowed to pay for the construction of highways, there is naturally no need for tax money.

Besides, how much money is it to pay taxes?

If the highway can be cast by paying taxes, then Liu Che basically doesn't need to shout poverty.

That little bit is a drop in the bucket, even if you give it all away, it doesn't matter.

Not to mention, only five short years.

"If you have any other requirements, please say them together, and I promise that I will be able to meet them one by one."

"This is not my personal request, it is a requirement related to the development of the entire Dahan."

Tang Qi pursed his lips before continuing: "We divide the territory of the Han Dynasty into different regions, and in each section, we select a different number of merchants, for example, if it is a hundred and fifty miles, then it will take about ten merchants. ”

"When the merchants are selected, they can pay for the cement and then build the highway."

"And Your Majesty doesn't need to care about anything in this process, the only thing that needs to be supervised is the quality of the highway."

"If it is found that there is any tofu scum project and someone makes black money, I hope that Your Majesty can severely punish it!"

Liu Che's eyes flashed with fierceness.

"Sir, don't worry, if anyone dares to make a ghost in this matter, I will make him regret coming to this world."

And Wei Qing next to him was dumbfounded for a long time.

Every word Tang Qi says now can bring him a huge shock.

With his IQ, it's hard to imagine any of this.

Now that I know it, my heart is full of question marks written in capital letters.

Keep asking yourself.

Is that okay too?

Well, it seems like it really works......

He is worthy of being an immortal disciple!

In this world, probably only Tang Qi's head can be so lively.

His Majesty had to bring Tang Qi back to Dahan from Xiandao no matter what, but now it seems that it is really the wisest choice he made after taking the throne......

"In addition, you can also tell the merchants that they are not working in vain."

After Tang Qi took a sip of water, he continued: "After the highway is built, they can build all kinds of temporary post stations on the highway, and they can prepare some food and forage in the post station. ”

"Those merchants who come and go, if they pass by these temporary post stations, they must go in and rest, so that business will come to the door."

"Of course, considering the remote location and the laborious delivery of materials, therefore, in terms of prices, they can increase the appropriateness of some ......"

"This ...... Sir, even think of this? ”

Liu Che was dumbfounded.

Tang Qi smiled.

This is not an unpopular idea.

In fact, this is the service area on the highway of later generations.

The price of goods in the service area can only be described in one word.

That is, expensive!

If there is a road blockage, the price will rise even more sharply, such as instant noodles, the most common food.

When there is a traffic jam on the highway, if it is a small blockage, the price of instant noodles will only double to triple, but if it is blocked for more than ten days, the price of instant noodles will be outrageous.

A hundredfold multiplier is possible!

Those merchants, a little smarter, may think of the profits that the post station can bring.

"In addition, in addition to opening temporary post stations, merchants in charge of building highways can also charge a certain fee for using them."

"This usage fee will be set by His Majesty, and then the final fee will be calculated according to the length of the road section."

"Actually, to put it bluntly, it's simply tolls. What the toll is, I'm sure the servants of heaven know! ”

"This expense, at the end of the day, can also bring them a lot of income, and a highway can be used for at least a few decades, right?"

"How much money can you make over the decades? Not to mention that the manufacturing costs of the highway can be earned, they can each make a lot of money! ”

Tang Qi said for a long time.

And that's just the most common toll points on highways.

With the construction of the expressway, smart businessmen will definitely be able to come up with some very special toll points.

In this way, their income will be even more substantial.
