On the sand table, each bid section is written on a small wooden sign corresponding to the number of the investment fund-raising contract inserted on it, all the cement plants, ironworks and sand and gravel yards along the way are marked with small white flags, all the areas that reach the start of construction are marked with small green flags, and all the places that need to be rectified are marked with small red flags.

With such a clear and clear sand table map, just a few days later, the plan for New Oriental Road was officially released, and now it is up to Chen Xu to make the final preparations before the start of construction.

"These bridges are in charge of Dean Zhang, before the beginning of spring, we must choose the appropriate bridge location according to the survey line, and then calculate the amount of reinforced concrete, sand and gravel and other materials needed, and then arrange the merchants of the bid section to prepare the required materials as soon as possible, and it is best to repair the bridge before the summer."

"There are also these areas that have collapsed and been seriously damaged, and people can be summoned to speed up the construction in winter, and they must be completed before the beginning ......of spring, and there are still these places that need to be straightened by curves," Chen Xu pointed to several places where the road was more curved with a bamboo stick.

"Master Hou, these places are blocked by hills, although the ridge is not high and the soil and stone are mixed, the previous gallop roads are all bypassed, it is too difficult to straighten, I suggest that it is still built according to the previous gallop road, although it costs a lot more cement and gravel, but the difficulty of construction is also much smaller!" A craftsman involved in the measurement reminded.

"No, these places are too far away, the farthest according to the measured data shows that it is more than 100 miles, and if it is straightened, it is only less than ten miles, and the width of the hill blocked by it is only 100 zhang, so straightening is the best and most economical design!" Chen Xu shook his head.

"Master Hou, we have also specially observed and asked the local villagers about this location you said according to your original instructions, even if you want to dig a passage on the ridge of two hundred zhang, it will take at least a year to gather thousands of craftsmen and tens of thousands of people, we don't have enough time!"

"I'll solve the problem, and when the time comes, just blast a passage with the Taiyi Divine Thunder at the most suitable position on the ridge, and blow ......up a tunnel if the mountain is too high," Chen Xu said with a calm face.

"Taiyi Divine Thunder?" There was a burst of exclamation and agitation in the conference room, and many people stood up directly.

"Yes, you will arrange someone to re-plan the straightened road section again, and the roadbed on both sides can start to be built, and when the location is selected, I will inform me that I will carry the divine thunder gunpowder and explode it directly with the divine thunder, so that the distance can be shortened by dozens of miles, and it will also greatly save manpower and material resources......"

"Okay, as long as Hou Ye can use the Taiyi Divine Thunder to blast these mountain beams, just these straightened road sections will be shortened by nearly three hundred miles, which will not only save tens of thousands of stones, but also greatly speed up the speed of road construction!" Several representatives of the businessmen who undertook these bids stood up and thanked them excitedly.

"This road is my bet with Li Xiang, and it is also everyone's task, no one can slack off and delay, Ben Hou naturally has to do his best to help, you get the bids for each section as soon as possible to send back to step up preparations for repairing the roadbed, if you don't understand, please feel free to contact the engineering headquarters, usually keep in close contact, and now the meeting is dismissed!"

So all the business representatives got their bids and left one after another.

Yang Kun took a group of officials back to the Oriental Road Architectural Department to arrange a new task.

Zhang Cang also began to arrange for craftsmen and craftsmen to prepare to set off to survey the location of the bridge and calculate the materials needed to build the bridge.

That is to say, from today, the construction project of New Oriental Road has officially kicked off.

"Master Hou, start leveling the roadbed now, will Li Xiang say that Master Hou does not abide by the gambling contract after he knows about it?" Sun Shujiong followed behind Chen Xu and asked a little worriedly.

"What are you afraid of, I only made a bet with Li Si to repair the cement road within a year, and this roadbed is not a cement road, I'm afraid of a fart, as long as I don't start laying cement, he has no reason to sue me!" Chen Xu pouted and said.

"Master Hou, you are a little unreasonable!" Sun Shujiong couldn't cry or laugh.

"That's right, I'm not reasonable, he didn't spend a penny to repair this road, but Lao Tzu spent hundreds of millions, why should he still find my fault, if he dares to sue me, I won't repair this road, hehe!" Chen Xu grinned a few times.

"If you don't repair the Hou Ye's gambling contract, won't you lose?" Uncle Sun asked blankly.

"It's true that I lost, the problem is that he lost worse than me, do you know how many businessmen participated in this investment promotion? How much money was invested in total? The cash raised alone is close to 20,000 yuan, which is enough to support a large-scale war to destroy the country, and all of this money is the coffin of a group of richest businessmen in Daqin. ”

Chen Xu's laughter like a night owl made Sun Shujiong's hairs stand on end, although he was still confused, he roughly figured out some of the joints, so he kept wiping cold sweat.

This road has almost moved the entire Daqin business community, concentrating a group of top tycoons who are currently the richest in Daqin, these tycoons are all leaders and representatives of various industries, and it is precisely because of the existence of these businessmen that the entire Daqin has sufficient supply and circulation of grain, cloth, copper, iron, salt, etc., so as to ensure the stability of Daqin, and now these people have no hesitation to put a large amount of coffins into this road, there are only two reasons.

The first is to unite to support Chen Xu to win the bet, which is the great trust brought by Chen Xu's continuous support for the development of business with practical actions and the improvement of the status of businessmen through various efforts.

Chen Xu's own identity as a disciple of the Immortal Family and his actions made his current status among merchants tantamount to that of a god-like existence.

The second is to make a fortune and make money, this road does not make money, but the attached cement plant, service area and logistics market will inevitably make money, all businessmen know what they have experienced during transportation, eating, drinking and Lasa are essential, and it is an extremely heavy burden for the caravan to carry dry food and horse grain and grass, and once there is a service area, you can use a small amount of money to solve this big problem, which will inevitably be welcomed by all business travelers.

The emergence of the logistics market, can also greatly facilitate the transaction between merchants, at present some big cities have a variety of markets, including Xianyang has a flat market, slave market, horse market, military market and other special markets, these markets are very large and very lively, but enter these markets need to pay, and into the city also need to pay taxes, merchants operate different goods need to be specially transported to these different markets in order to deliver and sell, but with the logistics market is different, these freight to the logistics market delivery, It is transported to different markets by local merchants to sell, so that there are a lot less intermediate links and troubles, and at the same time, there are a lot of messy costs, and local merchants do not have to look for suppliers everywhere, and go directly to the logistics market to purchase, and you can also shop around to choose the goods you need, which is a great help for both buyers and sellers.

There is a very optimistic prospect for the future of cement as a building weapon, with cement, no matter how roads and houses are repaired in the future, cement must be the first choice, now Xianyang is overhauling the palace everywhere, the future of cement consumption is not to worry at all, absolutely the same as steel is the most profitable industry.

What's more, the industries with the greatest demand in life, such as grain, cloth, pottery, wood, and salt, have long been carved up and monopolized, and no new industries have emerged, so everyone can only squeeze in them to grab each other's food, and the tragedy is unimaginable, and only those who do business know the ups and downs.

Only by following the Qinghe Hou will there be a new chance to make a fortune, which can be known according to Fan's winery, Shui's tea, ironworks in various places, and a huge porcelain factory that has recently risen in Jiangxi.

Although I don't know who opened the porcelain factory, it must be related to Qinghehou, because porcelain was developed by Qinghehou in the first place.

All these reasons continue to stimulate all the businessmen in Daqin to have a relationship with Chen Xu, and even at the expense of all their net worth, they follow a road to the dark.

But if this road is disturbed by Li Si, it will inevitably cut off the financial path of all the rich businessmen in the world, and the businessmen in the world will definitely be enemies with Li Si, even at the cost of desperately.

Shangjia is not a disciple of a hundred schools, and each family has a deep-rooted background, either aristocracy or related to aristocracy.

Qin Shi Huang did not dare to slaughter these giant merchants for the stability of Great Qin, so he could only move these rich merchants to Xianyang for monitoring, and also allowed these people to continue to do business, otherwise it would be a devastating blow to Great Qin's commerce.

As the saying goes, literati rebellion has not succeeded in three years, and no literati has ever succeeded in rebellion since ancient times, first, since ancient times, literati have been contemptuous of each other, which is known from the hostility and displeasure of hundreds of disciples, and second, most of the literate people are poor and do not have huge wealth to support them to develop a strong force.

But the merchants are different, especially these merchants of the former six countries, who want money, money, food, and even people, as long as they are willing, they can arm a force like Ran Feng at any time to carry out substantive sabotage operations, if there are more such people, Daqin can be said to be full of holes soon.

Qin Shi Huang is not unattached to business, it can be seen from his meeting with the widow Qing and the animal husbandry giant Wu Yanguo, and because of the disaster relief to reward Qi Mao as a righteous businessman, it can also be seen that Qin Shi Huang attaches great importance to businessmen, knowing that commerce is a very important cornerstone of the prosperity and stability of Great Qin, otherwise he would not agree to Chen Xu and Li Si's bet this time, because once Chen Xu wins, the law that suppresses commerce will inevitably be canceled, and if Qin Shi Huang does not attach importance to business, it can be said that he will not agree at all, Instead, he will continue to delay Chen Xu's request.

If Chen Xu didn't say this reason, many people might not be able to guess it, but only Li Si, who bet with him, saw it through at a glance.

After Li Si saw Chen Xu's investment promotion brochure and mortgage loan plan, Li Si felt that his general trend had gone.

Because Chen Xu's two articles completely tied the richest group of businessmen in the world to the chariot of this bet.

Chen Xu can afford to lose, because he didn't spend a penny, at most he won't mention the book of loosening the business law in the future, he is still a double marquis, he will still marry the fifth princess, Meng Yi will still become his father-in-law, still eat, drink and have fun, but the thousands or even tens of thousands of businessmen who participated in the fundraising will definitely not be able to lose, and if they lose, they will go bankrupt.

And once Li Si interferes with this road, if Chen Xu declares the bankruptcy of Huaxia Qianzhuang again, all the redemption notes and deposit receipts will be invalidated, and all the businessmen in the world who rely on Qianzhuang to trade and participate in fundraising will have hundreds of millions of assets in an instant, the entire Daqin business will collapse in an instant, and a big city like Xianyang, which is completely dependent on commercial support, will be in chaos in an instant.

And Shang Jia will definitely not target his hatred at Chen Xu at this time, but at Li Si.

Therefore, in order to appease the hatred of the world's businessmen, Li Si may be divided by the emperor's five horses.

ended up like Shang Ying at the beginning, covered with a big hat of rebellion, but only for the anger of the common people.

Zhang Yu, a cloth merchant, couldn't see through it, thinking that he could use his hands and feet to delay the completion of the road on the road, so that Chen Xu could win the gamble if he failed.

But in fact, Li Si instantly knew that this time the bet had not even started, and he had already lost.

With tens of thousands of giant businessmen in the world as bargaining chips, Chen Xu was invincible from the beginning.

But Chen Xu was convinced by Li Si in order to win, and in order to be more convincing in the court in the future, he still had to complete this road within a year.

In order to win glory, although he can't blatantly start paving the road a few months in advance, but if he levels the roadbed in advance, this kind of small action Li Si will be regarded as invisible at all, even if he sees it, he will treat himself as blind, and while drawing circles at home and cursing Chen Xu for being shameless, he can only squat in the corner and keep muttering: I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I didn't see it......

"Whew, this huge trouble has finally been solved!" Chen Xu let out a long breath and walked out of the Academy of Sciences.

But looking at the slippery trees in the yard that had lost their leaves and the cold wind that was already blowing on his face, Chen Xu couldn't help but stand in the yard for a long time.

Nima has been so busy lately that she didn't expect it to be winter in the blink of an eye.

And this time last year, it seemed that he had just come to Xianyang City.

In an instant, Chen Xu's mind came to Xianyang at that time, and Qin Shi Huang personally went outside the city to greet him and ride the jade chariot together.

"Qin Dada, Qin Dada, I, Chen Xu, came from afar, I only hope that Daqin can stand firm and survive that hurdle, I hope you don't let me down, and I naturally won't let you down."
