Day 2!

"Lord Wang, I heard you right, right? Do you want to rebuild the Qin Straight Road, and also build an additional branch road to connect to the Happy Forest? Steward Jin was taken aback:

"In ancient times, building roads and digging rivers not only cost a lot of money, but it is beyond the ability of individuals. And they are all gathered by the power of the court and the whole country, how can there be a family and one person to build roads for the country? Lord, don't do this! ”

Obviously, for Zhu Zilong's desire to rebuild Qin Zhidao, Steward Jin was a hundred, and ten thousand were opposed.

So much so that he didn't even remember the most basic honorifics and etiquette, but just tried to persuade Zhu Zilong not to do such a stupid thing. Later, Yang Zhi, Lin Chong and others were also called in.

Knowing that the three of them were sworn brothers, Steward Jin deliberately wanted them to persuade Zhu Zilong to turn back!

"You don't have to persuade it, this king will never do it!" Zhu Zilong refused to listen to persuasion, and replied categorically.

"The prince can't, if that's the case, even if the old slave dies, he will definitely not obey. Kneel here today, if the prince doesn't agree, I won't get up! However, Steward Jin was rarely more stubborn than Zhu Zilong, but he suddenly knelt down and couldn't afford it.

Yang Zhi and Lin Chong on the side also followed the flow and knelt down together beside Steward Jin.

The corners of Zhu Zilong's mouth twitched for a while, he wanted to scold people, and people seemed to be doing it for his good. It's not for one's own sake. For this kind of loyal little brother, you really can't chill people's hearts, otherwise a single commander will not be able to get along.

Thinking about this, Zhu Zilong felt that it was no longer wonderful to be profound.

stepped forward and forcibly helped Steward Jin up first, and then Yang Zhi, Lin Chong and others. sighed and said: "You are too worried, listen to me!" ”

As several people sat down one after another, Zhu Zilong began to speak, and it was a morning, and even breakfast was brought in, and several people did not go out.

When Zhu Zilong talked about the intermission, Steward Jin, Yang Zhi, Lin Chong, and Wu Song and others, who came later, were silent for a long time.

Qin Zhidao, commonly known as "Huangshang Road" and "Sage Strip" in northern Shaanxi, is an important military artery that Qin Shi Huang ordered Meng Tian to supervise from 212 BC to 210 BC.

From the south of the military important place of Xianyang, Kyoto, Yunyang Linguang Palace (now Liangwudi Village, Chunhua County, the meaning of Emperor Wu to take advantage of the coolness), north to Jiuyuan County (now Mengjiawan Village, southwest of Baotou City, Inner Mongolia), through 14 counties, more than 800 kilometers. The road is about 60 meters wide at its widest point and 20 meters at its peak, and it is like an ancient highway.

It is a flat avenue that is finally built in the rolling Ordos Plateau, which is dug into the mountains, filled in the ditches, and painstakingly manpower and material resources. One can imagine how difficult it would be to build a straight road of this magnitude under very low levels of productivity.

According to historical records, such a huge project was completed in only two and a half years. It is simply another miracle comparable to the Great Wall, and it takes less time than the construction of a highway of several hundred kilometers in the 21st century.

The inconvenience of transportation made Qin Shi Huang deeply realize that road construction was an extremely urgent matter after the unification of the world.

Before and after the unification of the Qin Empire, the capital Xianyang was the center of the world's most developed transportation network in the era of the world's most developed transportation network. These well-connected roads provided strong support for the Qin army in the southern and northern wars.

And Zhu Zilong, as a traveler in the modern 21st century, also knows the truth that if you want to get rich, you should have fewer children and build more roads.

I haven't seen that since the beginning of New China, which year and day has not been constantly building roads? Even if it has been repaired for nearly a hundred years, it has been repaired to other countries later, and it is called the Belt and Road Initiative!

Zhu Zilong's explanation to Steward Jin is that you really think too much.

Part of the Qin Straight Road area is still in the situation, which is often used by the people of the Great Song Dynasty, he just wants to connect the Happy Forest to the nearest Qin Straight Road that is not commonly used in the wasteland, instead of really rebuilding, but reprocessing.

Then, on this basis, build a few more good paths to serve as a double insurance for official roads. And the money and food consumed is actually not too much. As for the manpower and labor costs for road construction!

Zhu Zilong smiled in front of Steward Jin and others!

For example, in the modern 21st century, how much money can be spent on materials to engage in engineering? What is more expensive is the land price and labor costs!

And in my Great Song Dynasty, ha, the price of land or something, as long as it is reported to the court and the cheap emperor's father, saying that he will pay to help the country build roads. Look at it, while they scolded Zhu Zilong in their hearts for being a fool, they definitely approved it faster than anyone else.

The cost of land price is infinitely equal to 0, and there is no need to worry about what is the best nail in history. What ordinary people dare to block the official road construction approved by the state, and see if you are not arrested and put in prison, and sit until you die?

Still want to relocate? You move honestly by yourself, at most you will be given a little bit of living expenses, and you can take your furniture and leave.

And then when it comes to labor costs, okay. The exploiting class is TM!

Do you know what is the enslavement system?

Fu originally referred to the requisition and transfer of chariots, horses, and military quarters, and later referred to the taxation of land, that is, land tax, and sometimes also included poll tax and asset tax. Servitude, also known as conscription, refers to unpaid labor performed by civilians under the compulsion of the ruler, including forced labor, miscellaneous labor, and military service.

Qin Shi Huang asked the common people to help him work, when have you ever seen him pay a salary?

Tang Taizong Li Shimin is known as a generation of Ming monarchs, let people repair the palace, build the city wall, repair the bridge, when have you seen him pay the people?

Look at my Great Song Dynasty's box army, thieves with troops. Prisoners, outcasts. That's all about treating you as if you weren't a person, just giving you food to eat, pulling people over to build roads, where is the labor cost?

At present, Zhu Zilong promised Zhang Shuye to rely on the Xiang army for a long time, and at the same time solve the survival problem of a considerable number of Kaifeng refugees.

It is impossible to spend money to raise people every day, and not everyone goes to grow vegetables and raise pigs. There are more people than pigs, and they are brought to build roads, and they will be more than one stone. It's still a good name, and it doesn't cost a lot of money. Why not?

After Zhu Zilong's explanations, Steward Jin, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Wu Song and others looked at each other and were speechless.

They thought about it and like, probably, maybe, um, it really doesn't seem to cost a lot of money?

-

"You and the others all let Emperor Yang of Sui repair the Grand Canal and frighten themselves by destroying the country. This king is not Emperor Yang of Sui, how could he do such a self-defeating thing? Zhu Zilong said.

"The prince is thoughtful and far-sighted, and he is cautious, but the old slave thinks too much. Please forgive me! Steward Jin stood up and apologized cautiously.

Yang Zhi and Lin Chong, as well as Wu Song, who had just passed by, also accompanied them to salute together.

"It's just my own people, and if I say it, it's fine, and this king is also at fault. Come, come, come, no need to be polite! Zhu Zilong hurriedly took the opportunity to give a few people on the opposite side a step down. The scene was very harmonious for a while!
