Chapter 373 The road is completed
Bridge tolls, for Yang Heng, he is not short of these money, but the establishment of this bridge has made several boatmen who make a living from ferries unemployed, which is one of the reasons why Yang Heng added bridge tolls.
At first, Yang Heng planned to charge for the heavy-duty vehicles walking on the road.
At the time of that hunting, Yang Heng was attacked by wolves, and the most lured wolf was determined to be the wolves who were lured by someone, and even the scouts quickly confirmed that the person who presided over the lure of the wolves was the steppe wolf thief, so when Yang Heng sent the children back to the city, he quickly found the wolf thief's nest and caught it all, that is, this time he seized all the looting of the wolf thieves on the grassland for a year.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Heng wanted to go along with it, but it turned out that some of the people who were contacted by the steppe wolf thieves were killed and killed, and in the same way, Yang Heng seized a lot of treasures from these people, so the money of a road came out, and the most hateful thing was that Li Er actually let Yang Heng stop the idea of charging on the gallop road he built.
This, but did not affect anyone's income, if you want to say that the impact, it only affects the income of the post station of the imperial court, but it affects the post station, but it reduces the investment of the imperial court in the post station a lot, which is a good thing for the imperial court.
Bridge tolls, Yang Heng is set like this, passing people, one copper plate per person, vehicles, pulling goods is five copper plates, if it is a local, they also want a monthly pass, naturally those who cross the river to farm, this should be treated differently, after Li Xiancheng's statistics to some people issued cards, this is a free card, they only need to hang on the neck, in fact, it is nothing. As a person who charges a fee. They all know these people. Temporarily, the effect is not bad, especially the people who cross the bridge are some businessmen, they really don't care about these money, but it is these money that feeds a few people who were originally ferries, and a few people who maintain the bridge, and Yang Heng has not received a copper plate. It's just doing a good deed.
However, Yang Heng does not regret his investment, although the money is not invested, it is offset by the seized things, but the labor is still his own, but the construction of this gallop road, Yang Heng is not only invested, he also has his income, that is, some products in Shuofang, can pass through this gallop road to connect the grassland and Chang'an at the fastest speed, and even this road is directly connected to one of the north gates of Chang'an City. Gwanghwamen, which was also specifically requested by Li Er. Originally, Yang Heng wanted this road to pass through the west wall of Chang'an City and enter through the Jinguang Gate, but I don't know what Li Er thought.
Along the way, large and small passed through twelve iron bridges, that is, the iron bridge near Shuofang is the longest, and the other iron bridges are fixed on both sides of the river, and then riveted angle steel, which becomes, naturally, there are some smaller rivers, and these rivers, Yang Heng is using stone bridges, this kind of single-hole stone bridge basically does not have much technical content, just find a technician to command the bridge to be built, and even a few porous stone bridges, those are some dry rivers, That is, when it rains, there will be a large flow of water, and most of the time, there will be some small streams.
…………
"Xuewen, I heard that your gallop road has been built?" Li Er was just in time, the bridge in front was built, and then he asked people to call Yang Heng into the palace.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the gallop road is completed, the total length of the gallop is nearly 1,000 miles, the width is more than 30 feet (more than 8 meters wide), the ministers have shared more than 500 people to build together, at most, it can even reach more than 1,000 people, the carriage has been purchased more than 100 cars, and the carriage has been broken in the past year There are more than 1,000 cars."
"Boy, this is not right, you have invested more than a hundred carriages in total, how can you break more than a thousand?" "Back to Your Majesty, this, the minister did not lie, the so-called broken, not if it is broken, it will be thrown away, but while it is broken, it will be repaired four times a day on average, and even every mile of road, a carriage will be damaged, but here I want to be grateful to the person who made me bad last year, it was he who provided me with enough funds, otherwise, this road is very likely to be smashed before crossing the Yellow River, why, the consumption is too large, it is the minister who did not calculate it at the beginning, and it feels a little natural."
Naturally, there is something Yang Heng didn't say, that is, people in this era work really hard, in Yang Heng's previous life, even if they used heavy machinery, they didn't need people, and as a result, the construction speed was only a few miles or even about a mile a day. And Yang Heng is using the construction of sections at the same time, and the only slowness is in the process of waiting for cement.
There is also a favorable condition, that is, there are many rivers, there are many benefits of rivers, the sand does not need long-distance transportation, and even the stones do not need to be made by special personnel, directly from the river to fish out the sand, there are some big stones, fine sand, just can be matched to build the road, maybe for Yang Heng, fools have stupid blessings, to know the road, cement is nothing, sand is nothing, but the stone is a troublesome thing, which requires a large power of machinery to break, even Yang Heng did not consider this at the beginning of the road construction, When he opened, it was a little late, but he suddenly found that the amount of stones and sand in the river was just right to use, which was a problem to solve, this was in Yang Heng's previous life, it was something that he didn't even think about, if there was such a good thing, I don't know how much money the road builder would make, and at this time, Yang Heng was worried about the stones used to build the railway, although the cement was not used, but the amount of stones was greatly increased, and I don't know how my uncle solved it.
"Xuewen, what are you thinking, I asked you, but you didn't hear it." Perhaps, Li Er is also happy, it's not simple, a cement gallop road of nearly 1,000 miles, when the imperial court had no idea, was actually built, and this gallop road was built, and Li Er also collected enough taxes, and some cities could be reinforced.
"Ah, that majesty, the minister is a little tired." It's a good excuse, but Yang Heng is not worried about Li Er's punishment of his crimes, "Well, if you're tired, go back and rest, and cancel any celebrations, don't be in the limelight anymore." ”
Indeed, Yang Heng heard some different voices, mainly for bridge tolls, but those who had different opinions were just talking behind their backs, and they really didn't dare to say it on the bright side, if it was a bridge alone, it would be no longer true, Yang Heng would have been hit by a long time, but there was such a long road here, and there was no sound, and when Yang Heng built this gallop road, some officials' homes were also engaged in construction, that is, some corridors in the yard were paved with cement at homeAlthough there are also legends that Yang Heng seized the money of those horse bandits on the grassland, it is not in Datang, even if it is in Datang, it is Yang Heng who seized it, and no one will rob him, right, you must know that there are still many mountain bandits in Datang, if you are envious, then you can also seize the money of those mountain bandits.
There is also a saying that if you use the story of Zigong to redeem people to refute it, naturally, this will rise to the words of the saints, and some people will still not come out of this, if they do, then they will have to deny the statements of the saints, and then there will be a series of debates, and they will be completely defeated, so a bad thing, before it comes out, will be strangled to death by themselves.
"Your Majesty, the minister retires." Naturally, Yang Heng's credit is there, which needs to be remembered by Li Er, in the present, although his vineyard has not been harvested in a few years, but the cotton will start picking recently, and then it is a huge profit, maybe this year's New Year, Yang Heng will pay off all the debts, and next year, it will be just waiting to count the money, this is the benefit of being a traverser, spending money is also spending a lot of money, and earning money is also making a lot of money.
Even, spending money, that is throwing money, and making money, that is robbing money, who can do this kind of thing, only traversers. Even this is not in line with the laws of the economy, there is no fixed model to card.
"How about it, husband, is it that my father and the emperor are also going to participate in the celebration ceremony together." "If you don't participate, the celebration ceremony will be canceled, Your Majesty has warned me, this road is repaired, I still have to be invisible, otherwise there will be some trouble."
"Oh, okay then." Changle and Yuzhang were a little disappointed, originally this celebration was paid for by the two of them, to know that Lu Dao, this road is temporarily speaking, it is the most beneficial to the two of them, to know that Lu Dao their most profitable industries are transported through this road, especially the transportation of their goods, although it cannot reach the speed of 800 miles of expedited, but 300 miles of expedited can be achieved, and it can even be done day and night, but on the road there is a need for them to have a separate post station, naturally this is not a post station of the imperial court, It is attached to a yard near the post station to raise horses, whenever there is a transportation of goods, they are through their post station to change horses, or even change carriages, each batch of goods, will not be more than three days will be transported from Shuofang to Chang'an, but to other places will not be, but they do not want to transport the goods to other places, in Chang'an City to give the approval of Lu go.
