Construction is taking place everywhere, and the site for the new official road is to expand on the original official road.

In this way, the construction period can be reduced to a certain extent.

Because the original official road is often maintained, the sealing layer below can be renovated without much difficulty, and only need to be leveled.

However, in this way, it has also had a huge impact on the traffic from Tongguan to Chang'an.

Therefore, now all pedestrians and caravans can only take the temporary road built next to it.

However, that kind of road was not easy to walk at all, that is, it was repaired on the original cultivated land, and it was also during the previous preparation period that Li Chengqian and the officials of the Ministry of Industry decided to let these people use stones to press a temporary road out.

Pedestrians are not too much of a problem to walk, but caravans are more problematic when they go up.

The hardness of the sealing layer below is not enough, and the weight of the vehicle itself is too large, so the road quickly becomes potholes.

Not to mention that the vehicles are difficult to walk, after being run over by these vehicles, even pedestrians are reluctant to take this road.

When you go up and walk a hundred and ten steps, the whole person will become a native person, and you can almost shoot a few catties of soil on your body.

Although this is desperate enough, but even more desperate is the rainy day, once it rains, this road can not be walked at all, although the official road also has an impact in the past, but at least it is not like now, there is nowhere to go.

"Hey, how can you say that you can repair it? And to repair such a long distance at one time! ”

"Who's to say it's not, since it's going to be overhauled, why not fix it separately next to it? You have to expand it on the same road! ”

"I don't know how long it will take to repair this time, if it drags on for three or five years, we people will probably starve to death!"

In the inn on the side of the road, a group of caravan members trapped here looked out speechlessly, shook their heads and sighed.

They were stopped by a small rain, which was not a problem in the past, but now they really can't go.

Not to mention, if the goods are damaged due to the car, the loss will be great.

"There's news! There's news! When everyone was sad, a merchant suddenly ran outside, shouting excitedly.

"Master Sun, what's the news?"

"Just now I saw a distant relative of mine when I was going around outside, and I chatted with him for a few words to know that he was here to build roads, but the time was a little tight, we didn't talk so much, he had a quarter of an hour at lunch, I asked him to come over to talk and have a meal by the way." Master Sun said with a smile.

"Hey, what else should it be?" Everyone was obviously not interested in the news of Master Sun's affairs.

If there are more people building roads, what can you do with one of your relatives? Could it be that he can make a decision?

"Tsk, I said don't be so disappointed, my relative said that this road repair is an eye-opener for him, the court is expected to complete this line by the end of the year, but according to his calculations, if everything is as the court said, it can be completed in winter at the latest, and this time the construction is all cement roads, no matter the wind or rain in the future, walking on it can be like walking on the ground, when we run this trip, let alone two or three days faster." Master Sun continued.

Most of the people who appear here are perennial on the business line between Chang'an and Luozhou, and with the recovery of the Datang economy, there are now many different business lines.

Among them, the most important is the official road from Chang'an to Luozhou, and the Grand Canal from Luozhou to Yangzhou, through the link of these two roads, the goods from the north and south of the Tang Dynasty can be linked.

And for the caravan, it also means more abundant profits.

"Is the news true?" One of them was shocked and couldn't help but stand up.

"It's true, but I won't know until my relative comes, but I'm also curious, how could this road be built so quickly?" Director Sun expressed his doubts while being sure.

"Brother Yu, if this news is true, you will be rich!" Thinking of the previous man's reaction, thinking about the business he did, everyone couldn't help but be a little envious.

Of course, it is just a momentary envy, there is no overlap in the business between them, and their profits are far higher than Yu Cheng.

Now saying this is nothing more than a compliment, saying the next scene, and ending up with a good fate.

After all, although Yu Cheng's profits are not high, he is directly connected with the official, and his voice is much higher than that of pure businessmen like them.

"You guys laughed, Yu's business profits are meager, how dare you compare with you? However, if this road can be repaired faster and cement can be used, it is indeed a great thing for Yu! Yu Cheng responded scenely, but did not deny the benefits to himself.

What he did was similar to the logistics of later generations, docking with the weaving workshop.

He is mainly responsible for taking goods from the weaving workshops in Chang'an and sending them to the Wanmin cloth shops in various counties, he is not involved in specific transactions, only responsible for transportation, and according to the distance of the road, each piece of cloth can get three to six yuan in freight.

A car can hold about fifty pieces of cloth, not that it can't be loaded more, but Yu Cheng has calculated, and it is not cost-effective to install more.

If you load too much, the car will be very slow, the livestock will eat a lot, and the wear and tear will be too large.

On the contrary, a cart only contains fifty pieces of cloth, which is not too laborious to pull up, and it is acceptable in time, according to the lowest freight, a cart of one hundred and fifty yuan.

The wage of two people is six dollars a day, and the freight of three dollars and a horse can basically run a round trip in three or four days, and the wages of about twenty-four yuan are calculated, and the food and drink will not be too good, and the labor cost of this trip is about thirty yuan.

Livestock eat and drink more exquisitely, a trip costs about forty yuan, in addition to taxes and fees, what messy expenses, a car and a trip to his boss can probably fall fifty or sixty yuan.

After calculating the cost of wear and tear of the carriage and horse, the net profit that really fell into the hand was actually the most twenty or thirty dollars.

Fortunately, the shipments of the weaving workshop are large enough, and Yu Cheng has ten carriages under his command, and he can earn one or two a month.

This is still the recent market, in the past, these goods are the weaving workshop itself to organize people to send, Yu Cheng was one of them before, after the reform of the weaving workshop, no longer equipped with a transport team, transportation will also be contracted out.

The members of the transport team can be transferred to the production unit, or they can contract a certain area for transportation, and Yu Chengcheng used his identity to borrow a sum of money from the money village to buy these belongings.

For Yu Cheng, there are many goods that cannot be transported, as long as he runs fast, he can make more money, and he contracted Huaxian, the place where the road is repaired.

Li Yuanjing is naturally also in this inn, but Li Yuanjing's convoy is not here, he took advantage of the difficult road to walk, and the convoy came out to hang out by himself when the road was not good and the convoy was stagnant.
