The head of the Lu family is worthy of being the head of the big family, and his reaction is still fast: "What the prince said is reasonable, this account is too worthwhile!" Zhugong thinks about it, even now, how many carriages and mules and mules are there between Yuegang and Qiqi Town every day, and I think there will be more after the road is repaired. It can be returned to and from Yuegang within one day, and it is a veritable highway! As long as the road is repaired, it can greatly help the people to reduce the time and cost of travel, increase the number of their trips, no longer have to nest in one place, the local products here can be transported to the moon port for sale. If there is no good road, we have to take at least five days to transport goods back and forth, and if the road is really repaired, three days, at most three days, you can go back and forth! ”

The head of the Lu family said that he was thirsty, so he took a sip of the tea bowl. "Besides, the prince said that he could charge a fee, which is one hundred and fifty carriages a day, which is one hundred and twenty-five taels a day, and a year," the head of the Lu family said, and he counted his fingers here.

"It's forty-five thousand taels!" The grain merchant next to him, the head of the Wu family, was the most calculating, and he casually reported the results.

"Hahaha!" The others burst into laughter.

The head of the Lu family was not embarrassed, and then smiled and continued, "Forty-five thousand taels, if the road is repaired, will there really only be such a few vehicles?" I think it's far more than that, and the traffic volume will have to at least double at that time, with a minimum income of 100,000 taels a year. And such a road is estimated to be worth millions of taels of silver, so that the principal can be recovered in ten years, and if it is charged for twenty years, thirty years, or even forty or fifty years, then hehe! ”

"yes, I didn't think of that! This is a blessing for the descendants! However," the head of the Wu family said and set his eyes on Geng Jingzhong, and the other family heads also reacted to the crux of the problem and looked at Geng Jingzhong one after another.

Geng Jingzhong knew what he wanted to ask, and said directly: "If you are willing to build the road, the road can be charged for forty years in a row!" "Forty years, that is, their final return will be about three times, although it is a little longer, but it is better to be stable, and this is still a great good deed!

"Good!"

"Good!"

"The son of the world is wise!"

Geng Jingzhong nodded and smiled: "Actually, you still ignore an important point. ”

"Huh? And also? Everyone continued to prick up their ears and listen to the great words of the world.

"The benefits of building a road are far more than that, just take the road to Yuegang in front of you. It basically took a whole day for everyone to come here by horse-drawn carriage, and you always had to stop for dinner in between. If ordinary people walk, they are afraid that they will have to walk for two days, or even three days. They must stay at a hotel at night, and if they open a hotel near the roadcar, they must also make a lot of money. This is still a short road to Yuegang, if you build a road to Dehua, set up a special parking and rest inn, you think about it, whether you can make a lot of money. ”

"That's true!" Everyone nodded again.

"Also, because of the inconvenience of transportation in various places, there is almost no communication between people except for merchants. It is estimated that if nothing happens, people everywhere will only stay at home and will not interact lightly. Since there is no contact, I believe that the people between the two places will not intermarry lightly. For ordinary people, when will they see their daughter again when they marry so far away? If a woman wants to go back to her parents' home, she has to delay for many days on the road, and her family is not at ease without her own man to accompany her! ”

"Now, if the road leading from the starting point town to Zhangzhou Yuegang is completed, we can build more horse-drawn carriages to carry guests back and forth between the two places. These carriages carrying guests must be marked and there is no charge when crossing the checkpoint. It is no problem for a larger carriage to squeeze ten people, and it must not be much to charge him a hundred yuan per person, and in half a day, he can reach Zhangzhou. Or, starting from Yuegang, you can reach the starting point town in half a day. If you go by yourself, for nearly three days, you will have food and accommodation, and a hundred dollars is far from enough! Then, two large silver dollars a day, which will also be a lot of income. Moreover, being able to travel back and forth in one day is also a great good thing for the people! ”

"People between the two places go back and forth between the two places in one day. You don't need to walk for a long time, you don't need to hire a horse-drawn carriage at a high price, and you don't need to carry your own dry food. They save time, effort and money, so why not! As for the fees, in fact, you can also divide them into three, six, nine and so on, the more high-end and luxurious the carriage, of course, the more expensive the fee can be, because it is for the rich! The most economical carriage, a carriage for ten people, is a large silver dollar. This 100 yuan is really not a lot of money in this starting point town, and basically everyone can afford it. ”

"As long as the road is repaired, the flow of people between the two places will be a huge number. There is absolutely no shortage of guests in the carriage back and forth, and the more guests who ride, the higher the profit will naturally be. Are we just waiting to count the money? ”

"Also, as long as the highway is repaired, the mother-in-law in Zhangzhou can marry the man in Longyan. Long Yan's mother-in-law can also marry a man from Zhangzhou. The problem of returning to my mother's house will be solved smoothly. The flow of people between the two cities will inevitably accelerate, and it will inevitably promote more marriages between the two cities. ”

"After the road was repaired, the establishment of post houses, manned carriages, and so on, all came under unified management. My suggestion is that all of you will contribute together to set up a road administration company, and all of this will be managed by the company, of course, by you. What I am looking forward to the most is that after the road is repaired, it can promote exchanges between people from all over the world, and all ethnic groups can be integrated! Geng Jingzhong held the tea bowl and said with an unhurried smile.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and the roads are connected to wealth, which has been summed up by businessmen since ancient times. People of all times know that as long as the road is good, the transportation of goods will inevitably be accelerated, and the profits will increase immediately. It's just that the current businessmen only focus on their own interests, and they don't understand that when the road is smooth, the exchanges between the two places will be more frequent, and these frequent exchanges will bring more business opportunities.

These things are all they have never thought of before, in the future, Zhangzhou to Longyan, is also the starting point of the town to Yuegang, a day to go back and forth, a large number of people will inevitably bring a lot of income to the inns and restaurants in the two places. At the same time, local products from the two places can also be circulated in large quantities to speed up the economic development of the two places.

Why are future generations keen to create an hour-long economic circle? It is because in the one-hour business district, the flow of people and goods is very frequent, and these are where the business opportunities lie. Only a large number of people can bring a large number of business opportunities. The flow of people is one of the important signs of the development of society. Fujian has a large surplus labor force, and when the time comes, it will be able to work in the city. Their arrival will certainly cause changes in the structure of the city. Cities can hire more workers. In other industries, more people can also be hired. This qiē will gradually promote changes in social relations, as evidenced by the current starting point town.

"The idea of the prince is really unique! Admire it below! The head of the Lu family couldn't help but say. After hearing this, he kept thinking that it was a pity that the prince didn't go to be a businessman, and then he thought, isn't the prince doing business now!
