Daxingtai government decided to renovate the official road, quickly conveyed by the government, which made the people worried, it should be said that the three years of tax exemption, so that the people in the south basically stabilized, they got real benefits from it, at least there is no shortage of food, there is no cold and starvation, there is no worry about living a life of displacement, plus the wind and rain in recent years, every household has a lot of grain, and the merchants who go from house to house, the purchase of grain, but also let the farmers have money in their hands, can buy basic daily necessities, The most happy thing for farmers is that salt is not so expensive, and ordinary people can afford it.

Now Daxingtai is preparing to renovate the official road, which is not a good thing in the eyes of many farmers, many farmers have experienced the pain of being conscripted, and the strong labor at home has been forcibly transferred by the government, after losing the pillars, many things can not be done, and even directly affect the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and the conscription is very hard, people who are not in good health may not be able to bear it, and many times, conscription means the parting of relatives.

The anxious people and farmers waited for the government to send young people to build roads.

But something strange happened to the people and the farmers.

There were indeed officials who entered the village, but they were followed by merchants.

The official's explanation is that the government pays for the road construction, but the specific responsibility is the businessman, and the farmer can get paid for participating in the road repair, and the businessman must cash it out to the person who repairs the road, and at the same time, the official road must meet the requirements, so that the government will give the merchant silver.

The people and the peasant households had never encountered such a thing, and they thought that they were dreaming, or that the officials were fooling them into building roads, and then in the end there was nothing.

Not only the common people and farmers, but also the businessmen who took on the responsibility of building the road did not understand what Daxingtaifu meant for a while. I just know that this is the request of His Royal Highness King Fu.

The first to wake up is Zou Shiming, He Yugui and other businessmen, after all, they have been dealing with the government for many years, and the sensitivity of the businessmen's nature has allowed them to find business opportunities from it, Zou Shiming in the Chamber of Commerce convened powerful businessmen to discuss this matter, specifically reminded one point, that is, the matter of calculation, the government has a specific price for each section of the official road renovation, according to such a price calculation, can win the renovation of a certain official road. After removing all the expenses, there is still a lot of silver to earn, but to earn these silver, you need to have strong strength, that is, you can first pay the silver.

Some powerful businessmen, after calculating, quickly began to find relevant officials and asked to take on the matter of repairing the official road, of course, these businessmen found officials. There needs to be a relationship, too.

After all, it was the first time, and those businessmen with extraordinary strength were also uneasy in their hearts after they got the task of repairing the official road. Their comprehension was stronger than that of the officials, and after getting the books produced by the Daxingtai Mansion, they quickly understood how to operate.

The requirements of the Daxingtai government on how to repair the official roads quickly spread to all parts of the south. It caused a huge sensation.

The first is that the people do not believe that there is still a salary for conscription, which is simply impossible. The second is the anxiety in the heart of the businessman, I don't know if this mode of operation can be successful, and finally the officials at all levels are also worried, I don't know what kind of outcome such an operation will eventually lead to, you must know that the Daxing Taifu, the Jiedu Envoy, the Assassin History and the county order, etc., have issued very strict requirements, and if they don't do this well, the black gauze hat of the officials will be affected.

According to the requirements of the government, their wages are settled every ten days, and these wages are paid in advance by the merchants.

Participating in the renovation of the official road can be that wages, and the news of the real salary, quickly spread, has entered the farming season, the farmers basically have nothing to do, at this time to repair the road, you can get silver, such a thing who does not do, many farmers and people with a half-believing attitude, began to go to the place of the road repair.

The large-scale participation of the people and farmers made the businessmen breathe a sigh of relief.

The time regulations for the renovation of the official road are strict, and it must be completed in three months, which requires a large number of personnel, and the merchant is worried that there will be a shortage of manpower, so that the construction period will be delayed, and they will receive a penalty, that is, there will be a loss in money, after all, when discussing with the government, the treaty is clearly written.

At the beginning, perhaps because the people and farmers did not understand, the merchants could not recruit many people, which made some merchants anxious to eat and sleep well, but such a situation did not exist after more than ten days, a large number of young people came from all directions, and the available personnel for the merchants to repair the road were soon sufficient.

In addition, there is the problem of quality, which the merchants do not need to worry, the people and the peasant households are simple, they get the silver from the hands of the merchants, and they work extra hard to do things, as long as they put forward the requirements, they are even better than the prescribed renovation, and the enthusiasm of the people and the peasant households is completely different when they serve the conscription.

There is also a question of time, the Daxingtai government proposed three months to complete the task of renovating the official road, even Cui Shenyou, who had served as the prime minister of the imperial court, thought that the possibility was not big, the official road that needed to be renovated, the distance was too long, but after the project began to be implemented, Cui Shenyou and others widened their eyes, they couldn't believe and couldn't believe that the miracle continued to appear, the original stipulated construction period, was constantly shortened, and the officials sent out to inspect and supervise the quality of the official road after the renovation, It's even better than what the government has requested.

Many other festival envoys, for such a situation, are basically adapted, they know the ability of His Royal Highness King Fu, as long as His Royal Highness King Fu insisted, there will be a good result, only Lingnan Dao Jiedu Cui Shenyou and Qianzhong Dao Jiedu make Zheng Ningji, for all this is surprised, they have been officials in the court for many years, never seen such a miracle.

A month has passed, and the method proposed by the Daxingtai Mansion to renovate the official road was quickly understood by the officials and businessmen, and they can only sigh at the magic of His Royal Highness King Fu, what is impossible, it is nothing in His Royal Highness King Fu.

Zou Shiming and He Yugui and other big businessmen specifically analyzed such practices and put forward the benefits.

On the surface, the government took out a lot of silver, and it needed to take out a lot of silver, most of which was obtained by the people and farmers who renovated the official road, and a small part was obtained by the businessmen who were responsible for repairing a certain section of the official road.

One is that the people and farmers have increased their income, they have increased their income, and they can easily pay taxes, and at the same time they think of renovating their houses and purchasing necessary daily necessities.

The second is to make the businessmen more developed, whether it is to build a house, or to renovate the official road, in general, it is to pull the further development of the businessman, the construction of the house needs to spend silver, the renovation of the official road also needs to spend silver, these are business opportunities, are directly provided to the businessman business opportunities, as long as you seize such a business opportunity, you can earn silver, you must know that this business opportunity, has never appeared before.

The third is to further increase the government's trade taxes, as long as the business transactions are expanded, the government's taxes will naturally increase, and businessmen who have a lot of business opportunities will also pay taxes willingly.

Judging from the above aspects, commerce and trade have embarked on the track of benign development, and the government, businessmen and ordinary farmers can benefit from it.

In fact, in such a situation, the businessman is the most assured, after all, there are too many lessons in history, and there are many examples of businessmen encountering liquidation and calculation, once the businessman is too rich, he will suffer the blow of oppression, and it is good to go bankrupt, and he can't save his life if he doesn't do it well.

But in today's south, such a situation will basically not appear, because the contact between the merchants and the government has gradually increased, and the government must rely on the merchants for some things, such as the transportation and management of grain, the renovation of official roads, etc., and His Royal Highness King Fu has been in charge of the south for many years, and the policy has never changed, and it has always been supportive of commerce and trade.

The official roads around Xiangyang were the first to be renovated, and after inspection and acceptance, the government paid the silver to the merchants.

This news caused a huge shock among the merchants, some businessmen are always worried in their hearts, if the government does not count, that is, they want to exploit their silver, they can only bow their heads and endure, and the government is looking for death to do the opposite, but the government settled the silver in a proper manner, and also specially in the form of an official letter, praising the official road renovation in Xiangyang is very good, requiring other places to maintain a good quality, the official letter especially emphasized that the government will not owe a penny of silver.

The shrewd businessmen knew very well that the renovation of the official road was only the beginning, and there were more roads to rest or be built later, as long as they had a good connection with the officials, I am afraid that they would be able to earn too much silver from the construction of the road.
