If you want to get rich, build roads first!

After understanding the idea that the servants were preparing to gather in Wushan County for a few days, Huang Jie also asked Sun Xin and Sun Gu to make proper arrangements, and then hurriedly returned to the city before Wushan County was closed.

Seeing Wu Xian, Huang Jie's actions outside the city were naturally reported to him, so he was also very kind to Huang Jie, and said with a smile: "More than 3,000 people, tonight asked the virtuous nephew to be properly placed outside the city, and there was no chaos, and even drinking water and toilets were properly arranged, and it was really responsible!" ”

Huang Jie also smiled busily: "How dare the younger generation take credit, but the left and right are just powerful!" ”

Wu Xian didn't talk nonsense, so he also went straight to the point and said: "As soon as the immortal said it, he also heard the report from his subordinates, does the virtuous nephew really have a way to properly settle these thousands of servants?" ”

Huang Jie smiled bitterly and said: "Not to mention thousands, there are twelve in Wushan County alone, with about more than 20,000 people. It is said that in the whole Bashu and Guizhou and Yunnan, the total number of servants is about 500,000, but now they all recognize the immortals of the younger generation, but they all expect the younger generation to point out the clear road with them, and from then on they can live like the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

When Wu Xian heard this, he hissed and got up and said, "It's a big matter here!" It's easy to be hasty and not ...... I'm afraid that 10,000 yuan of money and 2,000 stone of rice grain will not be enough! ”

Huang Jie hurriedly said: "It's enough!" If it is only to settle the servants near Wushan County, it is more than enough! ”

Wu Xian said: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, this servant is lazy. Raw men are especially lazy to eat, and adult men are good at fishing and hunting. However, it is true that the mountains and forests in this land of Bashu are dense, but the hunting is very rare. Agricultural production, however, is entirely dependent on women. I just asked the county middle division, Wushan County now has no public land, although there are a lot of public land, but there are also mostly mulberry fields and dry land, even if you have servants, it is difficult to have production! ”

Huang Jie hurriedly crossed his hands and said, "Lao Xianzun is worried!" The little nephew is now coming at night, just to discuss this matter with the county honor, and now the resettlement of servants does not need to be done by the county, let alone the public land in Wushan County. In the afternoon, after the little nephew discussed with the twelve servants in Wushan County, there was already a plan to deal with the emergency! ”

Wu Xian also hurriedly came to ask what to do. Huang Jie also smiled: "The county should still remember that in the morning, the little nephew told the county that 'if you want to get rich, build the road first', this urgent plan is to build the road!" ”

At that moment, Huang Jie told the results of the survey of the official roads from Jiangling Province all the way, as well as the idea of repairing the original official roads in various states and counties, and then opening a new "high-speed fast lane" in detail.

But after listening to this, Wu Xian frowned and pondered: "The idea of the virtuous nephew is good, but repairing the road is a big deal. Don't say that the little Wushan County can't be the master, even if it is the Kuizhou Zhizhou Changzhi Festival, you have to think twice! ”

Huang Jie said with a smile: "Such a small matter, why should the county and Kuizhou Chang be the masters?" The county respected that the little nephew was an official envoy. There's a chance to do it cheaply! ”

Saying that, Huang Jie took out his imperial official envoy duty card, and looked at it with Wu Xian, only to see that the back of the card was written "Imperial Edict Fifteen Road Cheap Action". Wu Xian was also stunned and asked, "How is the virtuous nephew going to act cheaply?" ”

Huang Jie immediately said his thoughts, and it was basically up to him to come forward and raise his own funds. Arrange for 12 servants in Wushan County to start repairing the first-line roads from Kuizhou to Wushan and from Wushan to Badong. After the road is repaired. Then Wushan County and Kuizhou Mansion came to accept, if the acceptance is satisfactory, then Kuizhou Mansion and Wushan County will repair the road to spend money and report to Huang Jie.

In short, that is, Huang Jie first raised funds in the name of the official envoy to repair the road first, and then the government came to report and write off the account after the road was repaired. As for the question of whether the government will repay the debt, there is no need to consider it at all, not to mention that Huang Jie, the official road envoy, is already a system with the government, in addition, road construction is also an important part of the assessment of the performance of the local government, and the reason why Huang Jie can get this official road envoy is also because Huang Jie presided over the official road repair and widening project from Huangzhou to Gwangju, and the official evaluation of Huainan West Road and Huangzhou Zhizhou Yamen is also a well-known thing.

Who knew that Wu Xian listened, and was even more stunned: "Virtuous nephew, this road repair is difficult and not to mention, but this existing official road crosses Wuxia from east to west, and the mountains are wonderful, and it costs money to repair it, Wushan Mountain goes to Badong for one hundred and twenty-six miles, and goes west to Kuizhou for ninety-seven miles, a total of two hundred and twenty-three miles of road, according to the repair cost of four hundred and eighty guan one mile calculated by the virtuous nephew, there is no 100,000 yuan of money that cannot be repaired!" ”

Huang Jie said with a smile: "The county is good, but there are two points that have not been counted, one is that the labor cost of three hundred and eighty yuan in the cost of four hundred and eighty yuan is calculated according to the working hours of the Song people. Second, it is also profitable to repair the road, such as the trees, rocks, and wild things on the side of the road, as long as the county respects the little nephew to hunt, it can be converted into cost. Therefore, the little nephew preliminarily converted, to repair the two hundred and twenty-three miles of roads, 30,000 guan of money is enough, and with the 10,000 guan of money borrowed by the county lord today plus 2,000 stone of rice grain, it is already possible to start construction! ”

Wu Xian was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his brain couldn't turn for a while, this has always been a major event for the government to build roads, not to mention the specific labor materials, just the fire consumption and tapping of the entire yamen in a state and a county is a big hole, and after the big hole has to be filled, it is possible for such a big project to start, as for whether it can be successfully completed, it depends on whether the follow-up hole filling work can be continued and there will be no mistakes.

Not to mention, not long ago, the case of Nagui Prefecture is a living example, a small project to repair the road washed away by a flash flood, and the officials of the entire Zhizhou Yamen ate a deficit of more than 100,000 yuan, which can be imagined.

So now Huang Jie actually said that the repair project of more than 200 miles of official roads is enough as long as 30,000 yuan, and he doesn't even want the government to take out the money and grain first, he only needs to borrow 10,000 yuan and 2,000 stone rice grain to start construction, and he can also complete the project, this statement really made Wu Xian stunned, and he didn't know how to respond!

After a long time, Wu Xian's sluggish and somewhat sloppy gaze finally focused, and after raising his eyes to look Huang Jie up and down, he also asked solemnly: "Nephew Xian, have you thought about it, do you really want to build this road?" ”

Huang Jie also replied solemnly: "Naturally, take it seriously!" No jokes! ”

Wu Xian clapped his hand, then got up and said, "Okay! The old man is almost not confused, and he has been cautious all his life, and he has not achieved much so far. Now I also come to Bo to give it a hand, and become a ...... Naturally, everyone is happy, and ...... is defeated It's a big deal, don't do this sesame official from the seventh grade! ”

Then I saw him go to the door of the study, and called someone to invite the county lord Bo and the county lieutenant and the big and small priests. (To be continued.) )
