This ceremony will be a very grand event.

However, Cao Cao and Sun Ce decided to hold it in advance within their own forces.

They are all county marquises, why do you Zhang Ming do things with great fanfare, they also want to do it.

However, Liu Biao was very disdainful, in the past, he should be crowned king, what is it to be crowned a county marquis, so he didn't plan to hold any ceremony at all.

Sun Ce spent a few days preparing, and immediately after the ceremony, he headed in the direction of Cao Cao.

He wanted to congratulate Cao Cao in person, of course, this may just be an excuse.

The real purpose, Sun Ce is afraid to reach some kind of tacit understanding with Cao Cao.

For the time being, it is not enough to form an alliance, because on the surface, Sun Ce has a better relationship with Zhang Ming.

However, Sun Ce and Zhang Ming did not have many common interests, while he and Cao Cao had many common interests.

Zhang Ming didn't know how Sun Ce and Cao Cao were going to hold this ceremony.

Zhang Ming handed over the matter to Chen Yang.

Tian Feng was the only one left in the cabinet, and he was really busy, so it was just right to hand it over to Chen Yang.

The two most important parts of the ceremony are to worship the heavens in the square, and the other is the military parade.

Sacrificing to the sky is a symbol of imperial power, and Zhang Ming, a county marquis, actually wants to hold a sacrifice to the sky.

The military parade is a show of force and also to calm people's minds.

Show off your force to attract talent from other places.

Internally, it reassures the people and increases their self-esteem and sense of honor.

These things were handed over to Chen Yang to deal with, and Zhang Ming became the shopkeeper again.

Except for going to deal with government affairs every three days, he didn't pay much attention to the rest of the things.

Of course, there will be some time each day to go through the newsletter.

Ten days later, Zhang Ming received news that the Chi Road to Jizhou was finally completed.

"Great, I'm going to preside over the opening ceremony myself."

The road from Beiping City to Jizhou is a very wide road, dozens of meters wide.

After the road was repaired, Zhang Ming and his troops were transferred from Youzhou to Jizhou, and the speed was very fast, and it was convenient to transport grain and grass.

Fast horses, it will be there in two days, and the communication will be greatly accelerated.

Zhang Ming set up more than 20 post stations along the road.

This post station not only has to ensure the communication between the people, but also has a part of the people who patrol the road and act as the traffic police.

This is free for pedestrians, but there is a charge for vehicles.

Road strips will be issued at the time of collection to avoid repeated charges at several points.

Zhang Ming estimated that he couldn't collect much money, but if the money collected could sustain the expenses of more than 20 post stations along the way, it would be very good.

The two lanes in the middle are dedicated to military use, and of course, the horse convoy delivering newspapers is also allowed.

Zhang Ming personally led the ladies in a carriage to a point in the suburbs to preside over the opening ceremony of the road.

At the ceremony, some officials and some businessmen were present.

On this road, the biggest benefit is still these merchants, who can greatly reduce the cost of freight.

Zhang Ming held a grand ceremony.

After that, they each went back and announced the opening of the road.

At the same time, Zhang Ming asked people to make an announcement on the front page headlines.

After coming back, Zhang Ming called Tian Feng over.

"Tian Feng, the Chi Road from Youzhou to Jizhou has been repaired, and I want to immediately prepare for the Chi Road from Youzhou to Xuzhou through Qingzhou."

Tian Feng's face was bitter, and he said helplessly: "Lord, we just have a balance, and the treasury bonds we borrowed last time will expire in a while." ”

In fact, there is still half a year to expire.

In the past six months, the harvest has been good, and Zhang Ming's military expenditure is also small.

However, there is not much to spare, and Zhang Ming has to start a new project.

"Tian Feng, you can't be so short-sighted, there are many benefits to building roads."

Zhang Ming sat down and asked someone to bring a tea set, which meant that he was going to have a good debate with Tian Feng.

"Tian Feng, money is only money when it is circulated, and it is useless to store it in the warehouse."

"We pay for the construction of the road, this use is very huge, and the people involved in the road construction can make money, they will live well, and we can also take back some of the money through taxation, the people have no money, where can we collect taxes."

Zhang Ming explained to Tian Feng, Tian Feng was expressionless, and when Zhang Ming finished speaking, he said: "It's okay to build roads, slowly, and wait for the economy to be more comfortable." ”

Now, they are in debt, and Tian Feng really doesn't want to do it.

Repairing roads, from Youzhou to Jizhou, spent tens of millions of dollars to build such a high-standard galloping road.

More than 100,000 people, repairing for so long, just eating and working are a lot of expenses.

If there is money, Tian Feng also knows the benefits.

But I don't have any money right now.

"Tian Feng, your thinking is wrong, from an economic point of view, the government's debt can greatly boost GDP, that is, economic growth, promote employment, and increase fiscal revenue..."

Chu Xiaoran began to popularize economics for Tian Feng.

However, Tian Feng didn't seem to understand.

In the end, Tian Feng said: "Lord, I want to keep all the daily expenses, and there is still some money left, you can use all of it to build roads, I don't care if it's not enough." ”

Tian Feng still compromised.

But he didn't dare to let Zhang Ming spend lavishly, and he still owed tens of millions of national debts.

"Okay, just do it, as long as you give me a little start-up capital, Lao Tzu can get the money to build the road."

"In my lifetime, I will let all the states of Dahan be connected by cement roads, and when the time comes, China will be unified, and the states will be connected, and the prosperity will not be far away."

Tian Feng ignored Zhang Ming, anyway, he had to get the money himself.

Tian Feng's calculations showed that the money that could be transferred to Zhang Ming was more than seven million.

More than 7 million, Zhang Ming immediately arranged, ordered the previous road repair team to disband half of it, and the other half to transfer to this side to repair the road.

There is not much money, and it is impossible to repair the road with this amount of money, but Zhang Ming can allocate some money a month.

These more than 7 million are enough for Zhang Ming to put up the shelf first.

Zhang Ming's movements were very fast, and after more than ten days, some people had already entered the field and began to prepare to repair the road.

In the original road widened, there was no need to continue exploration, Zhang Ming asked people to repair the road immediately.

In addition, recruitment has also begun in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

In short, Zhang Ming wants to repair the road as soon as possible.

Money, Zhang Ming didn't worry too much.

All aspects of income are enough to cope.

At this time, many merchants had money.

Zhang Ming hit the idea on them.

Of course, Zhang Ming didn't go to rob or blackmail, but to sell them something.

Zhang Ming has a lot of things to sell, but he doesn't plan to sell too much.

Less is precious.

Then he got money from other places, and Zhang Ming also started to draw money out of some business income.

Tanglin Restaurant made a lot of money, but Zhang Ming used it to expand.

Now that the expansion has almost been completed, it is time to use the money from the restaurant's profits.

Then there is the money from Fuso.

In short, there is always a way, pay every month, and you don't have to make a lot of money all at once.

When Tian Feng's finances are eased, he can also divert the money to use.
