"Repair it together, this road is repaired, although it is good for everyone, but who wants to spend this money?" Zhang Xucong asked.

"And our cement is not enough to sell, where is there a road to build?" Ran Yanbo also said.

"That is, to build roads, especially to build the cement roads you said, the cost is too great, and we can't afford it." Wang Pinxuan also said.

Wan Yunjun on the side also nodded his head in confusion, not knowing whether he heard the words of a few people or was dreaming, everyone was pessimistic about Zhao Yuan's idea of building a road.

"What if I have a way to get most of our merchants in Shu to invest money to participate." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"How is that possible?" Zhang Xucong said.

"Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, and we have to investigate it first." Zhao Yuan thought about it, but he didn't dare to pack the ticket completely.

In an agrarian society, the transportation of goods and commodities may not be as large as Zhao Yuan imagined, and if you want to build a toll cement road, then you must have a large number of caravans walking on it, so as to recover the cost. The current situation of the Shu official makes Zhao Yuan not count on it at all, otherwise things will be much simpler.

"Brother Atom, I think that the road construction should not be in a hurry, and all aspects must be thought through." Zhang Xucong said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I also have such an idea now, and I don't know what year it will take to implement it." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

For road construction, the current conditions are not yet mature, the output of the cement workshop is still very low, the scale is still very small, now the cement workshop even if it is full production, the output of a month is only four or five thousand tons, equivalent to a daily output of only more than 100 tons, which is completely incomparable with the daily output of any small cement plant in the future at about 1,000 tons.

Then there is the current situation in Shudi, so that some large businessmen are more willing to spend money on improving their own security and defense, spending money to buy cement to repair their own walls, and there is no problem in building some strong fortresses. If everyone is allowed to use the cement they bought with money to build roads, few people are really willing, even if Zhao Yuan can make everyone realize the benefits.

"Wan Ershao, wake up, Brother Atom is talking about big things, how can you fall asleep." Seeing that the matter was put on hold for the time being, Wang Pinxuan patted Wan Yunjun, who was already drowsy in the chair.

"That's it today, I see that the second brother is not lightly drunk, Changyan Changsong, you help your father to rest in the house." Zhao Yuan said to the two brothers who were licking the ice drink on the side.

"Okay, Uncle Atom."

Today in the restaurant, Wan Yunjun was poured wine by a group of people, and when he came back, it was fine, as soon as he sat down, the wine came up, and he fell asleep without holding on, from this point of view, Wan Yunjun's wine was very good.

With the help of Qian Hu, the two brothers helped Wan Yunjun back to the room, and Zhao Yuan pulled Wan Yan to talk carefully about the establishment of the transport caravan.

Zhang Xucong and the others also recognized Wan Yan very much, he didn't talk much, his face was full of weather, he looked like he was running out all the year round, and after a few words, the three of them couldn't help but admire Zhao Yuan's view of people, and they also decided to hand over this transport caravan to him.

Zhang Xucong and the three of them ate the food on the table, no longer caring about Zhao Yuan and Wan Yan, these three were the real shopkeepers.

"Steward Yan, can you tell me about the current transportation of goods in Shudi, such as how many people take the waterway, how many people take the land route, how large the amount of goods are transported, and what are the problems in the process of cargo transportation......" Zhao Yuan pulled Wan Yan is problem.

"In addition to the official post station, we ...... Shudi" Wan Yan answered Zhao Yuan's question in a clear manner, and also gave Zhao Yuan a general understanding of the current cargo transportation in Shudi.

Generally speaking, the current transportation of goods is not industrialized and appears to be very fragmented. The official post station mainly serves the royal family, dignitaries and nobles, in the previous dynasties, especially in the Tang Xuanzong period, there are more than 1,600 waterway post stations in the country, and it is also popular to use the post station to transport fruits, aquatic products and other things. "When you ride the red dust concubine and smile, no one knows that it is lychee", this is the most famous logistics express in history.

The items transported by the folk dart board are generally not ordinary goods, but most of them are valuables.

Shu is mountainous and rainy, the transportation of goods mainly depends on manpower and animal power, such as cement, which can not see water and has a large proportion of goods, is particularly difficult in the transportation process, which Wan Yan also said.

"In this way, Steward Yan, I will formulate a detailed plan tonight, and according to what I said, these problems you said should be solved a lot." Zhao Yuan chatted with Wan Yan for a long time, and he had a general idea in his mind.

First of all, it is to improve the tool for transporting goods, that is, the car, and design a labor-saving, firm and easy-to-use pull car, which is not difficult for Zhao Yuan at all.

Secondly, the waterproofing and fixing of the goods are very easy to solve in Zhao Yuan's opinion.

In terms of animal power, there are channels for Wang Pinxuan, and there is no problem at all in buying some horses in advance.

In terms of manpower, there seems to be no problem with Wan Yan, who has been transporting goods for many years, and the skilled hands promised by Wan Yunjun and Zhang Xucong.

"I don't think there's anything else I can't think of." Zhao Yuan thought with a frown.

"Boss Zhao, Boss Zhao, are there any questions?" Wan Yan said softly.

"It's okay, Rock Steward, the delivery of cement has to come from Gray Plains Town now anyway, and we'll communicate later." Zhao Yuan shook his head slightly.

"There's no problem on my side, and now I don't need to go to the soap workshop, so my brothers and I are idle." Wan Yan said bitterly.

"Well, rest assured, we need a lot of transportation for cement, and the treatment for everyone will be improved a lot." Zhao Yuan patted Wan Yan and said.

Wan Yan mainly followed Wan Yunjun, and as Wan Yunjun moved out of Wanjia, although Wan Shihao, Wan Yunquan, and Wan Yunhao all knew what was going on, but the people below were still somewhat affected. Originally, Wan Yan was very busy in the transportation of the soap workshop, but with the intervention of Zhang Xucong's family, the transportation of goods and raw materials was slowly taken over by several companies, and Wan Yan was so idle, and there was naturally a lot less work to take.

After Wan Yan left, Zhang Xucong and the three of them stayed in the small courtyard where Zhao Yuan lived, because every room in Zhao Yuan could be equipped with ice cubes to cool down.

Ignoring a few people, and explaining Xiaocui and Xiaojuan to the two brothers Changyan Changsong and the two sisters Wan Xin and Wan Xiaoxiao, Zhao Yuan came to the study to formulate the rules for the transportation caravan and some advanced transportation vehicle design drawings. It's been three days since I came to the county seat, so I'm done with this side of the business early and go home.

Shao Meng, who helped Xiao Qi sell ice drinks on the street, helped Xiao Qi's family sell out the ice drinks they prepared before coming back.

"Senior brother, don't you want to be so happy!" Guo Du looked at Shao Meng's mouth with a smile and quipped.

"Go, go, sir?" Shao Meng asked.

"In the study, I've told us not to bother him if it's okay." Guo Du said.

"Okay." Shao Meng held back his words, and now he had to hold back.
