Volume 5 Tokyo Cold Chapter 419 [Tap Water]

Listening to the Zhao Guanjia actually so skillfully landing on the ground to repay the money, Huang Jie was also stunned, but when he thought about it, since the Zhao Guanjia ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, eighty percent of the things they have done are spending money, and if the money is spent too much, it will naturally be cheated a lot, and it should be done to learn this skill of killing half of the price!

Immediately, Huang Jie's head was like a rattle, and he hurriedly said: "I can't do it, this is not a mountain and country road, and I am not an official of the imperial court." In business, you have to give some profits to make money...... At least it has to be an integer, a million pieces! But they want money, not money! ”

When Zhao Guanjia heard this, he also thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Otherwise...... How about I give up one step, 600,000 guan? ”

Huang Jie immediately widened his eyes and said, "The official family is accurate, and now he is bargaining?" It's a loss of decency! The minister also let one step, 950,000 yuan at a price! ”

A sentence of loss of grace, put Zhao Guan's family in the corner, as the emperor, this promised thing is now bargaining is indeed unhonorable, when even when he saw him wave his sleeves, he said: "That's it!" Keep the way, the will! ”

After all, it was the emperor, and the Zhao Guanjia still wanted the prestige, so he immediately asked Liang Shicheng to draw up a central decree, asking the household department to prepare 950,000 guan and prepare to repair the roads and canals in Tokyo City.

In fact, the money for building roads and canals now is not enough for him to build Genyue. In the second year of Zhenghe, Cai Jing suggested that the preparation of materials began to be officially started in the seventh year of Zhenghe, and the annual material consumption was not less than one million, and even the construction cost of Genyue this year has exceeded one million.

Of course, the Zhao Guanjia knew that the renovation of this road was just a face-saving project, and no matter how much money was spent, no matter what kind of construction it was, as long as it was done, it would naturally attract rave reviews from the ministers of the DPRK and the central government and the common people. It's just that in the view of Zhao Guanjia, the canal is more interesting than the road, since ancient times he has never seen such a whimsical idea in the world, if this canal is really built, the people will no longer have to carry water on their shoulders in the future, as long as the water valve is opened at home, there will be a bubbling clear stream, who will not read a good word from him when using water?

Moreover, such unprecedented exploits should also leave a strong mark in the history books.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guanjia suddenly felt that a million guan was not much!

After thinking about it, he simply asked Liang Shicheng to draw up the middle order, but it was sent to the inner mansion to reward Huang Jie with a set of nine-color wedding gifts, plus 50,000 pieces of gold and silver, to show his favor.

Seeing that the name of Zhao Guanjia's reward was actually a wedding gift, Huang Jie was naturally a little surprised, but Zhao Guanjia smiled and whispered: "Your relationship with that Yinu, Shi Niangzi naturally told me, it is really a heavenly marriage, these can be regarded as congratulatory gifts from me and Shi Niang and you!" ”

Listening to Zhao Guanjia using the self-proclaimed name of "I" again, Huang Jie was also sensible and thanked him again, and then discussed the details with Zhao Guanjia and others. First of all, this project is not the road administration of the government, and Huang Jie does not want any official identity, but only asks Yin, the Kaifeng Mansion to which Tokyo City belongs, to sign a contract with his family Huangzhou Construction on behalf of the government, and entrust the entire project to Huangzhou Construction with full authority.

As for the allocation of funds, it is also allocated in three phases, with a down payment of 550,000 yuan in the early stage as the start-up capital, and 200,000 yuan in the middle and later stages, depending on the progress of the project. After that, the government can send people to supervise the entire construction process, but it cannot interfere beyond its authority, and if it is necessary for the Ministry of Industry and other departments to cooperate and cooperate, it cannot shirk slack. Huang Jie simply recommended Liang Shicheng to be the chief inspector, anyway, he is a genuine inspector, and he is a general manager who takes care of everything, and using him as the chief inspector happens to make the best use of everything.

This Liang Shicheng is now a saint, and of course the Zhao official family has no objections, and it will be approved at the moment.

Then, Huang Jie proposed that after the completion of the Tianqu, it still needs to be operated and maintained, if the government comes forward to do it, I am afraid that there will be a lot of inconvenience, and it is easy to cause redundant officials and redundant personnel, it is better to set up another Tianqu Club (the name of the private shareholding in the Song Dynasty is also called the club), in which the government holds three percent of the shares in the name of the water supervisor, and the remaining seventy percent of the share capital is privately raised.

Once the Tokyo Tianqu is completed, this method can be quickly spread in the Great Song Dynasty, and then all the states and counties in the world only need the government to pay only 30% of the construction cost, which can drive 70% of the private investment.

After hearing this, Zhao Guan's family also patted his dragon head and said in surprise: "Your method, it seems that you also mentioned it in the planning at the beginning, what did it seem to call raising funds to build roads?" Now is it time to raise funds to build canals? ”

The idea of raising funds to repair the road, he was indeed written in the "Jiangling Mansion to Huangzhou Road Widening and Repair Plan" when he was surveying the Shu Road, I didn't expect that now after four years, Zhao Guanjia still remembers, Huang Jie also laughed, and said: "Building bridges and repairing roads is a good deed in the people, and it is feasible to raise funds to build by raising funds, but the Tianqu is unprecedented, and it can only be built first and seen by the people with their own eyes, so it can be promoted." And let the ministers see, such things that benefit the people and facilitate the people must not be used for profit, otherwise I am afraid that the name of benevolence of the official family will be damaged, and the loss will outweigh the loss! ”

Zhao Guan's family actually didn't take the small profit of the water reward in his eyes, but Huang Jie's words really stabbed him in the heart, if all parts of the world were built in the canal, and everyone could use the tap water, wouldn't it be that every household would praise his benevolence at that time, and he was also proud at the moment: "The Qing family has such thoughts, it's really good!" I have my own plans! ”

At this moment, I heard another gong downstairs, followed by a burst of cheers, but it was the end of the half.

It's just that now everyone's attention in this pavilion is not on Keju, all of them are gathered around the table to listen to Huang Jie's explanation of the plan, and they can't help but see Gao Jin, who is full of sweat, ran up, first grabbed Gao Yu's teacup and poured a sip of residual tea, then came to stare at everyone, and shouted in wonder: "I don't kick!" ”

When he said this, no one paid attention to him, but they all buried their heads in looking at what Huang Jie was drawing on the paper, Gao Jin also leaned over to take a look, and then heard Huang Jie explain: "This fountain is an exquisite mechanism of the Great Qin Country in the extreme west, which can spew water several feet high, which is a wonder!" I took in a few blue-eyed Westerners who came to the Song Dynasty from Daqin before, and I happened to know how to make this fountain, so I planned to wait for the completion of the Tianqu, and then I also built one hundred and eight fountains along the royal street all the way to the south, so as to highlight the water and Tianwei of my country! ”

When everyone heard this, they all snorted and were silent, even Gao Jin was stunned, and couldn't help but look carefully at the graphics drawn on the paper, but unfortunately he was standing in the wrong position, so he couldn't understand what the strange thing on the paper was.

I also listened to Huang Jie: "I tried in Chengdu, if the fountain pool is square, each three zhang long, one zhang deep, with the method of Daqin to make a spring, the spring pillar can be spewed out more than two zhang at the highest." If the water of the heavenly canal is poured into the spring, it may reach a height of five zhang! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, but Zhao Guanjia thought of something, and suddenly asked: "How much does this kind of fountain mechanism cost?" If you want to build on that mountain, is it not feasible? (To be continued.) )
