'Boss. Let's start by building roads. But before we can build roads, we have to build cement plants. 'Elevator said.

Li Yibai nodded, "Hmm." I'm going to the U.S. and moving one. The cement plant uses stones to burn cement, and the material is not difficult to find. It's just that it won't pollute the environment. That's what I'm worried about. ’

The elevator hurriedly said, "Don't worry, boss." The cement plant just has some dust, and we can build it in the mountains. Then the mountain will cover it, and it will be fine. ’

Li Yibai was very happy, and he was relieved.

'Good. You and I immediately go to the site and choose a place surrounded by mountains and an exit, so that not only can the stone be sourced locally, but also block out the dust and noise, which is really the best of both worlds. ’

Just do it. Li Yibai and the elevator got on the sports car and began to go out to choose a site.

Just when Li Yibai just wanted to start the vehicle,

Then a guard came and reported, 'Owner.' Oh no. Lin'an's salt solution made Lord Yan come to copy our store, and he also came to arrest the owner. ’

'Bold. I'm a transit envoy, and I'm also a five-rank official. Saying that, Li Yibai got out of the sports car. 'Master Gao, you go to inspect the factory site by yourself first. Tell me when you're done. I'll deal with this first. ’

After the elevator drove away, Li Yibai walked up to the guard.

'Command our guard regiment and my servants to transfer the yamen. They all followed me to the salt shop. I'm here to see how awesome he can do with salt relief. ’

'Yes, proprietor. The guards quickly radioed all the guards.

At the same time, the envoy of the transfer came. But the officials are used to being careless. Moreover, Li Yibai has not been to the Yamen since he took office, which suddenly called them. They were all taken aback. Hurriedly ran over. for fear of being punished by Li Yibai.

Wait until everyone is there. Li Yibai went to the salt shop.

'Husband. I'll go with you, too. Miss Gong Er also took a sword. Run to his side.

Li Yibai nodded, so everyone continued to move forward.

Walking to the door of the salt shop, Lord Yan was arrogantly standing with more than a dozen servants.

'Li Yibai, as an official of the imperial court, you know that selling smuggled salt is illegal, but you still knowingly commit it, what crime should you be guilty of. Lord Yan scolded Li Yibai sharply.

Li Yibai said lightly, "You are the oldest." You take these people with you. Dare to be arrogant with me. ’

'You' Lord Yan saw that Li Yi was a strong horse, and he brought ten times as many people as him, and they were all armed to the teeth. His soaps are all thin and thin, and they are greedy for life and afraid of death.

'Li Yibai, you are too blind. In short, I am ordered by the emperor to raid your salt shop. Do you dare to resist the law? If you dare, I'll report it to the court, and I'll see how you end up." ’

Li Yibai smiled faintly and said, "Lord Yan, you are Lu Ming and Cai Jing's dog." You think I don't know, you are in collusion in Jiangnan, a nest of snakes and rats. You deliberately didn't issue me a salt permit, what can I do. I want to enter the salt industry too. My lord, please give me the permission now. Am I just legitimate? ’

'Hmph. You also want to sell salt. The beauty of thinking. Lord Yan smiled contemptuously, "You want to enter our business." You have to pass three levels and go through six paths. Where is so easy. You'll have to submit your name. ’

Li Yibai smiled lightly, "Are you the underworld?" Also submitted a certificate of nomination. What do you think of as the lifeblood of the imperial court?

I know that your salt industry is ironclad, and you can't get a needle through it, and you can't splash it with water. I didn't want to provoke you, but I was just selling a little bit of illicit salt in Lin'an City. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant and ask me for something. Then I'll have to go into the salt industry, and see if you can tolerate me. I'll have to do it sooner or later anyway. I'll do it now. ’

'Do you know that if you want to enter the salt industry, you need to worship the God of Wealth for the people's livelihood and submit the name certificates to all the salt officials in Jiangnan. We'll look at it later. Even if the emperor comes, he can't break this rule, which has been formed over the past hundred years. The emperor can't change it. Whoever wants to change will be paralyzed in the salt industry, and no one will cooperate.

You're a newcomer who wants to rob us of our fat, and you don't know what to do. ’

Lord Yan despised Li Yibai and said sarcastically angrily.

Li Yibai smiled, "I'm not here to make money, I'm just for the well-being of the people." The people eat official salt, and the quality difference is high. And my salt also protects against iodine deficiency diseases, which is a good thing. ’

'Hmph. Really disguise yourself. Master Yan said disdainfully, "That's really nice." That's right, our salt industry is very profitable, and we make a lot of money. However, we are going to hand over 40% of the profits to the court every year. All kinds of expenses of the imperial court are supported by our salt industry. You can move the fat of the court. Do you Li Yibai have this ability? ’

Lord Yan is right, if Li Yibai openly sells illicit salt on a large scale, this is tantamount to smashing the rice bowl of the imperial court, even Song Huizong will not listen to Li Yibai, not to mention the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Their money is gone. Wouldn't they all blame Li Yibai.

How can Li Yibai's new construction of the Great Song Dynasty continue, if these people make trouble and oppose him.

Li Yibai pondered for a moment, "Okay. Lucky for you today, let's go. You can't take my people. I'll turn off the salt shop. ’

Seeing that Li Yibai's clothes had softened, Lord Yan became even more stiff, "No." Trafficking in illicit salt is a capital offense. Master Li, you are an official, I will not arrest you. But I must punish your men severely. ’

'The owner. You save me. I don't want to die. I'm doing something for you. ’

Hearing Lord Yan's words, a guy from a salt shop hurriedly knelt down and begged Li Yibai to intercede.

Lord Yan's words also angered Li Yibai. '. Are you deceiving people too much? Someone's coming. Arrest this Lord Yan for me. ’

Li Yibai's orders were like a mountain, and the guards rushed forward one after another.

Lord Yan trembled with fright. His soap subordinates were the opponents of the guards, and when they saw the guards coming like tigers and wolves, they had already scattered in fright.

Li Yibai walked up to Master Yan, "Why, you were very tough just now." ’

Lord Yan saw that his men had run out. Knowing that he can't be arrogant now. 'Master Li, we have something to discuss. ’

You just said. I want to sell salt. You have to go and worship the God of Wealth, right? Then it seems that you were sent by the Eastern God of Wealth. ’

Lord Yan lowered his head. Don't dare to speak.

'Speak. I'll ask you. You weren't sent by the God of Wealth. Li Yibai asked sharply again.

Lord Yan was helpless, he didn't want to be beaten, 'Yes. Be. Recently, the God of Eastern Wealth has been very unpleasant to Lord Li, and ordered me to rectify you. ’

'Not bad. The God of Eastern Wealth is nothing more than a cloth cloth. You are a court official, you want to bow your head to him and be his dog, you are really ashamed. There is no backbone at all. The books of Confucius and Mencius you read are all in the belly of a dog. ’

Li Yibai scolded.

Lord Yan sighed helplessly, "I'm a salt official. Came to Jiangnan to take office. But unexpectedly, on the first day of my tenure, my subordinates persuaded me that I must go to meet the God of Eastern Wealth. I would have paid off the high. But after two months, I realized that if I didn't go along with him, I wouldn't be able to get along at all.

The entire Jiangnan officialdom is controlled by him. He has our ledger. He also made friends with all kinds of high-ranking people. At the same time, he is also in control of the salt works in various places.

He is also a veritable biggest official in Jiangnan.

I'm really helpless. Master Li, I advise you not to provoke him. His viciousness is not something you and I can deal with.

If you're here, you can hide.

It is estimated that the emperor is coming, and there is nothing he can do. ’

'Huh. When have I, Li Yibai, been afraid of others. Li Yibai snorted coldly. 'I'm not afraid to tell you, the emperor has to give three points when he sees me. Lu Ming, the prefect of Yangzhou, was slapped in the face. I just don't want to step into the court. If I entered the Kyoto Division. The whole capital was also played by me.

East God of Wealth, I will be afraid. This time, I gave up the salt shop, but I just didn't want to be the enemy of the entire imperial court. In the future, I will slowly change the situation of the imperial court's dependence on salt tax. ’

'Yes. Be. Master Lee is clever. Master Li, can you let me go? Master Yan began to pretend to be his grandson and pleaded.

'This is your acquaintance. . Li Yibai dragged him over, and Lord Yan almost fell and ran away in embarrassment.

'Hahaha. The crowd burst into laughter.

'The young master is really powerful, he subdued this dog official in three or two clicks. ’

'That's, don't you see who the young master is? ’

'Husband, does the emperor really have to give you three points? ’

"Of course," Li Yibai said lightly, "It seems that I should suspend this private salt." I'll get it later. Let's build the cement plant first. ’

The next day, the elevator drove to Li Yibai's house.

'Good news, boss. To the south of West Lake, there is a mountain nest, which is very suitable for the construction of a cement plant. Where there is a passage that can facilitate the delivery of cement. ’

'Good. Li Yibai clapped his hands and said, "Master Gao has worked hard." I'm going to the United States to move a cement factory and come back. We started construction of the highway immediately. ’

Li Yibai looked at the map marked by the elevator and knew the landing site.

Subsequently, Li Yibai carried a cement factory from the United States and landed in that mountain nest.

Li Yibai's Northern Song Dynasty Engineering Company, under the guidance of the elevation division's power equipment engineering company, had learned to build the project, and there was no problem in laying roads.

The cement plant in the nest of the 'boom' mountain is also up and running. The electricity used in the cement plant is generated by the hydropower plant.

The workers of the engineering company, led by the equator, began to explore the route, lay the foundation, mix the concrete, and lay the sand and gravel.

During the construction of the project, we pay attention to the protection of ecology, and avoid the ancient temples when encountering them, and never damage an ancient building.

However, the road itself was built on the basis of the original dirt road, so it was not very difficult. However, during the construction of the road, the dirt road was blocked.

Although some people complained, because of the power of Li Yibai and Liu Erqiu, they didn't dare to say anything.

Sure enough, he has the strength and is easy to do as an official. Li Yibai is an official. Liu Erqiu is an official. Li Yibai has a guard regiment. These are the guarantees that can be carried out effectively by the highway.

Otherwise, two ruffians from some village would have started to blackmail the engineers, and there would have been such a thing. There is no shortage of ruffians in any era.

The construction of the cement road is very fast, and it is advancing at a rate of 20 meters a day. Seeing this, Li Yibai felt very relieved, because as long as the highway was built. His goods can be sold all over the country and even the world through this road.

'Xiaoqiang, take more silver and come out. Li Yibai commanded.

'Young master, what are you doing with the silver?' Xiaoqiang wondered.

We bought all the land at both ends of the road. At the same time, we also have to buy every station place. Li Yibai said with a smile.

'Where to buy land, what are you doing, I don't lack land.' Xiaoqiang was still puzzled.

'Huh. You don't understand that. This is called real estate investment. As soon as our roads are built, the price of land at both ends of the highway will rise. ’

Xiao Qiang suddenly realized, 'I understand. The young master is really smart. ’

Then Li Yibai bought all those lands.

Because the price given by Li Yibai was high, those people didn't understand, so they sold it in a daze. The main reason is that the people do not have the investment vision of modern society.

When Li Yibai bought land, he walked all the way to the strength of the road, Hangzhou Bay Wharf.

'This pier is too small. We must also increase investment in construction. There should be cranes here, and we're going to get containers, which will improve efficiency.

As for the big boats, wooden boats could continue to be used. The big wooden ship of the Great Song Dynasty is also good, and it can also carry a lot of goods at one time. But I'm definitely going to have to ship two modern cargo ships in the future.

Large cargo ships can transport a lot, and the speed is also fast. You can also swim upriver to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. ’

Xiaoqiang nodded. These are all too good. Young master, hurry up and build. I have made such a great achievement with the young master, and I am also excited. ’

Li Yibai smiled, "In the future, Lin'an will be the richest place and the richest place in the Great Song Dynasty." It was the first city to modernize.

All first, the first electrified city. The first city to have a television station. The first city to have a newspaper. The first city to have a telephone. The first city to have running water. The first city to have a car. The first city to have a bank. The first city to have a hospital. The first city to have a school. The first city to have an internet connection. ’

At this time, the cargo ships in Hangzhou Bay were sailing with white sails.

Seeing these ships, Li Yibai couldn't help but be excited,

'Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat, and ten thousand trees spring in front of the sick tree. The entire Great Song Festival will be reborn under my construction. Everything will change here. This will no longer be the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the new era of the Northern Song Dynasty. ’

'Young Master, Long Wu came to look for you. It looks like there's something urgent. Xiaoqing ran from a distance and shouted.

'He's looking for something for me. Li Yibai returned home with doubts.

Ryugo walked around the room, obviously in a hurry.

'Daddy, you're finally back. ’

'Long Wu what's the matter. Li Yibai asked as soon as he stepped into the door.

'The Eastern God of Wealth has removed all my official salt business outlets. (To be continued......)
