"A two-lane cement highway of more than 200 kilometers only cost 1 million yuan, which means that the budget for rebuilding more than 400 kilometers of two-lane cement highway from Qinzhou to Lanzhou on the basis of the original road will not exceed 2 million yuan." A prospective project cost estimator who was sent on a business trip from the School of Architecture was thinking of personally coming to Li Ji, who was in Qinzhou at the Qinfeng Road Governance Office, to report on the progress.

"How can the cost be so low? The average cost per kilometer in your budget report is only 2,000? The cost price of cement produced by the cement factories under our group should be consistent, according to the standard thickness of 25 centimeters and the thickness of ten meters of pavement is 2,500 cubic meters of concrete per kilometer, that is to say, at least 2,000 tons of cement and 1,000 tons of sand and 1 to 2,000 tons of gravel and other raw materials, not to mention personnel salaries, land acquisition, taxes and public relations costs and other costs. The cost of digging tunnels and culverts in mountainous areas alone is at least 500,000 yuan! Are you ready to cut corners? Lee Ki asked.

"How dare a student? I heard that we have obtained the qualification approved by the imperial court to build a new cement road, and want to build a high-standard two-lane road from Qinzhou to Qingtang City, and the government is very supportive of all over the country. The cost of land acquisition in the places where the planned road passes is reduced again and again under the pleas of the landlords, which is almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing. The Qinfeng Road Highway Operation Company we opened has obtained the privilege of tax exemption for 3 years, which is a preferential policy for the three divisions of Qinfeng Road. After the landlords and people at all levels along the route heard that we were going to build this strategic-level highway, they enthusiastically and actively responded to the requisition and labor of the political axe. It is possible to complete all the project progress three months in advance, and complete the acceptance before the Qingming Festival. ”

After listening to the report, Li Ji, who was deep in thought, asked: "Is this mode of mobilizing the masses to work hard and quickly, not taught by Zhao Shouzhong?" ”

"No, Dean Zhao never said anything to us, but the engineers and technicians who supervised the construction site slightly revealed that we are going to publicly sell shares to raise funds for the Qinfeng Road Highway Operation Company to build four trunk roads of the same scale in the future by setting up toll stations to recover costs and maintenance costs, and those landlords and officials are like going crazy in order to curry favor with us and obtain the qualifications to buy a large number of stock warrants. Ordinary people also know that the construction of roads will bring them great benefits under the propaganda of our technicians, and we will achieve town-to-town connectivity in the next 10 years and village-to-village connectivity within 20 years. ”

"Stupid, who asked you to leak these internal confidential information to them, no one authorized you, don't you know what kind of punishment you should receive for this behavior? According to the management charter, all your salaries and bonuses for each of you and those technicians who leaked information were canceled in the first quarter of this year. However, I personally think that your approach is very good, after all, you will not be subject to foreign military orders, and your behavior has also saved the group a lot of money, originally built this trunk line from Tianshui to Xining, no, the trunk line from Qinzhou to Qingtang City, the total amount of budget prepared by the group reached 5 million, if it is not enough, the budget will be added later. I can't imagine that you can solve the problem with only 3 million yuan, save half of the budget saved, and give bonuses to those related meritorious personnel, which is also the company's charter. See for yourself! Li Ji happily went to the banquet of the transfer envoy.

"The walk after dinner is really pleasant, I really want to thank the adults for the banquet, there are really a lot of trees in Qinzhou, I have a special interest in strolling among the giant cypress ancient trees." After Li Ji was full of wine and food, he and the three envoys of Qin Fenglu who invited guests began to discuss the future development of Qin Fenglu.

Another reason why there are many ancient trees in Qinzhou is that there are many ancient temples. Chang'an, the first ancient capital of China, has been in the center of the most political, economic and cultural development in China for 15 centuries. Qinzhou is the largest town in western Beijing, and it is the "three-way crossroads" of Jingzhao Mansion connecting Sichuan, Shu and Xia. Especially after the ancient "Silk Road" of the Western Han Dynasty was completed, it has always been a thoroughfare for the prosperity of towns and culture. "Yuanhe County Chronicles" said that "the capital has not reached Shazhou, and the prosperity comes from Longyou", and Longyou is Qinzhou. Because Buddhism (including Islam in the Ming Dynasty) spread eastward along the Silk Road, Taoism also aspired to go west along the Silk Road, and this place is also the birthplace of "Xihuang soil, Wahuang suburbs, Xuanyuanye," as well as Zhou, Qin, and Tang Dynasty, and there are many ancestors, and the result is inevitably a variety of temples, making Qinzhou one of the cities with the most ancient Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, temples, and mosques in China. The ancient temple is known as the "jungle", which means that all religious sites, as well as clan ancestral halls, will be decorated with trees to decorate solemnity and solemnity. Therefore, Tianshui has formed the reputation of "those who have ancient temples must have ancient trees". Objectively speaking, monks and Taoists have the habit of planting and protecting trees, but most of the old trees that have been watched for thousands of years benefit from the care of monks.

Qinzhou has been a place rich in "big wood" since ancient times. This is nature's unique gift to Tianshui. Qinzhou is located in the transition zone from warm temperate semi-humid to semi-arid climate, and belongs to the intersection of North China, Central China, Mongolia and Himalayan plants. Trees evolve from south to north and from east to west, with complex compositions and a wide variety of species (according to the survey, there are 728 species in 195 genera and 68 families). As the hometown of "big wood", not to mention the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, that is, in the Song Dynasty, there is still a large area of natural forest in the Qinzhou region, and the history books say that this area is "even the valley, how big the wood", "the forest is lush, I don't know its extreme".

"Big wood" is a necessity for the imperial courts of ancient dynasties to show off their power and satisfy their extravagant desires. Qin's Xianyang Palace, Han's Weiyang Palace, and Tang's Changle Palace, there is a convenience near the land, and the materials of the pillars come from Tianshui. When the Song Dynasty built the capital of Kaifeng, the eastern plain lacked timber, so the imperial court placed wood collection here, and cut down tens of thousands of giant trees for the construction of the capital. Giant trees are mined and accumulated into mountains, and huge rafts are built in spring and autumn every year to float in the Wei River, and are sent to Kaifeng under the Yellow River in the east. In order to satisfy their selfish desires, the dignitaries and nobles in the capital also dared to violate the ban and collect wood from Qinlong, and even the famous prime minister Zhao Pu also participated in this disgraceful act.

After silently recalling the minerals of Qinfeng Road and understanding many specialties and details of Qinzhou, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is no problem with investing in Qinfeng Road Highway Operating Company, and now I will have a great wealth to give to you." Apples, peaches, pears, walnuts, peppercorns, and peppers are all local specialties, oh no, peppercorns and peppers are not, but as long as all of your mountains, dry lands and fertile fields are planted with these seedlings improved by our chamber of commerce, at most five years and at least four months, you can earn 5,000 yuan. The Chamber of Commerce is open to acquisitions and is purchased with our membership and internal settlement tickets and Chenji money, without copper coins. Even if you resell the tickets and Chenji money in your hand, you will make at least twice the profit. If it is extended to every county in the entire Qinfeng Road, your income can reach at least 60,000 guan per year, and even if you leave office and are promoted, this legitimate income obtained through your efforts to promote good governance can be sold and discounted to at least 600,000 guan and taken away. What do you think? Knowing full well that the decline in transportation costs is the main force that led to the collapse of the small-scale peasant economy by the market economy, Lee Ki seduced many officials like a broker.

Turning a single pillar industry of the logging industry into a diversified economic structure is a basic strategy for the prosperity of Qinfeng Road and the completion of the Tibetan Ministries. To build Shanzhou and Lanzhou, which were on the front line of the border between Western Xia and Tibet, into a bridgehead for the evolution of Japanese products, a strong and prosperous Qinfeng Road was needed. After the construction of the road, it was time to promote the agricultural and commercial revolution of Qinfeng Road. This will provide millions of new jobs, at least a 20-fold increase in the GDP of impoverished Qin Fenglu, and a 30-fold increase in fiscal revenue.

After all, a developed diversified economy can be used to slow down the rate of decline in forest cover, and the root cause of the problem is to turn tree cutters into tree planters and other industrial workers.
