Zhang's mansion is still in the study, the weather is cold in December, and the two of them are drinking wine, chatting about everything.

Zhang Xun said: "I heard that you are rectifying the guards today!"

Zhang Zhongmou said: "Yes! The army is developing too fast, which is not a good thing. If you don't fix it, something goes wrong.

Zhang Xun said: "Zhongmou, this is where you can rest assured." Now that your two wives are pregnant, you can't let them help you do things anymore, if you hurt my Baobei grandson, Lao Tzu will not be finished with you.

This is also the most distressing thing for Zhang Zhongmou, his two women are actually pregnant one after the other.

Liu was not happy when he found out, and directly took them back to Zhang's mansion to raise the fetus, so that no one would take care of the construction site, and he couldn't get out of the way, so he had to send Ye Xiaodi to take care of it, and the chamber of commerce was managed by the new Li Longsheng as the vice president.

Zhang Xun said: "A few years ago, your strategy of exhausting the enemy is now working very well. But this year's heavy snow is much worse than usual, and I am afraid that there will be uncertainties in the coming year. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Zhang Zhongmou said: "The Jianzhu is indeed the most direct threat of the Ming Dynasty, but with our armament, there is no need to be afraid.

However, our control over the ground in Shandong is not firm enough.

Zhang Xun said: "Didn't you set up some county offices?

Zhang Zhongmou said: "This is far from enough, although Shandong is not big, but the transportation is really unsatisfactory, whether it is for marching and fighting, or transporting materials, and merchants." All are a big problem.

Zhang Xun said: "Then what do you want to do."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "I have a big plan.

Zhang Xun said: "What plan to say, let's hear it."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "I plan to build a few main lines in Shandong. In the event of war, our troops can be quickly reinforced with electric four-wheelers. Second, the power reserves of our three power plants have covered the whole of Shandong, and I plan to make the telegraph network fully operational. Third, we have already built three ironclad ships. I'm going to let the newly trained navy go around and fight pirates and see blood. Fourth, our salt works have been built, and once there is no threat from pirates, we can transport salt to the whole country and sell it.

Zhang Xun has had a good time in the past few years, and everything is taken care of by this son, except for the fact that he sometimes needs to cooperate. But he never expected that Shandong already had such a scale.

Zhang Xun said: "Although this Shandong is not big, it is not a joke to build a few trunk lines. Not only money, but also things and people. It's not a trivial matter.

Zhang Zhongmou said: "This kid thinks like this.

First, there is now a new material called asphalt, which is separated from the fierce fire oil, as long as it is improved, it can be turned into a road building material, similar to cement, better maintenance than cement, and the price is cheaper than cement.

Second, to build a road, I plan to charge, our electric four-wheeled vehicles have been sold a lot, I plan to set up a Ministry of Transportation, all vehicles must be listed, and drivers must obtain a qualification certificate to go on the road. And the vehicle must pay a road fee every year.

After the road was built, some ox carts could not get on the road at all.

Zhang Xun said: "You plan to collect money for the car, but so far, there are not many people who can afford the car!"

Zhang Zhongmou said: "This is simple! If you can't afford it, you can rent it! And this person who buys a car can register as an institution. Then pay us a fee.

Zhang Xun said: "This idea is really good.

"And we need to set up such an institution to provide guarantees to businessmen, so that we can also collect their business tax," Zhang said.

Zhang Xun said: "Then according to what you say, if all businessmen set up factories and also need to be registered, we can manage them in a unified manner and collect business tax."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "Dad, you are so smart, you can draw inferences from others."

Zhang Xun said: "Hey, hey! You are well guided

Zhang Zhongmou said: "So I think that we, the Zhang government, want to do something special."

Zhang Xun said: "You can't say this, in case you hear it, it's not a joke."

Zhang Zhongmou said: "Dad, what's so terrible about this, with our current strength, we are not afraid at all."

Zhang Xun said: "It's better to be cautious." The current hard-won situation is quite favorable to our development. Once a war is launched, the people will suffer secondly, and it will affect the development of Shandong.

Zhang Zhongmou also knew this reason, and said: "Otherwise, I'll make a plan, and Dad, you can help me get these institutions done."

Zhang Xun said: "I think the time is not yet ripe. When it comes to building roads, what about the eight characters yet? Second, it is still too early for Shandong to collect business taxes, because there are still a lot of waste to be rebuilt. Besides, the court is not so easy to fool.

Zhang Zhongmou was like a deflated ball when he heard this, listless.

Zhang Xun said: "You first do what you can do at present, step by step, and it is true to be down-to-earth."

Zhang Zhongmou: "Okay, if you want to get rich, build roads first." I'll open the road first, that's the last word!

Zhang Xun said: "This is another fallacy in your books.

Zhang Zhongmou: "That's really called the golden house in the book."

Zhang Xun said: "Others study to become officials and make a fortune, but you are good, you study to make a fortune."

Zhang Zhongmou: "At least, I can earn with peace of mind, and by the way, I can help others get rich."

Zhang Xun said: "When you were young, I found out that you are not an official, but you know a lot about business.

Zhang Zhongmou: "It's just a small fight."

Zhang Xun said: "If you are a petty fight, how do you tell those businessmen to live." By the way, how is your project going?

Zhang Zhongmou: "At present, it is nearing the end. In February next year, it should be possible to fully attract investment.

Zhang Xun said: "It's been less than three months so fast.

Zhang Zhongmou: "This was also unexpected by me.

Zhang Xun said: "After the construction is completed, what are the plans?"

Zhang Zhongmou: "I think so, after the construction of the entertainment city, the displaced people will have nothing to do, I plan to fill them into the factory, and all those commercial houses will be rented to the displaced people, and they will enjoy the right of first refusal." It is also possible to pay in installments, and pay while staying.

There are fewer villas, and I plan to sell them at auction.

Those previously ordered houses or shops can be rented, or the final payment can be paid in advance, or they can be paid in installments.

As for the project, all the things that have been invented and the new things that have been created in the past few years are displayed here one by one.

Zhang Xun said: "Then Tai'an, how is the situation on Yong'an's side."

Zhang Zhongmou: "So far, it has been completed, and more than 30 businesses have settled in, and now they have started to produce products.

Zhang Xun said: "How is the progress of the night school.

Zhang Zhongmou: "According to the data reported by the Ministry of Literature and Art, it shouldn't be a problem to know a few thousand words!"

Zhang Xun said: "Your word that lacks a diaphragm and a few legs will definitely work." He's always had an eye for those fonts.

Zhang Zhongmou: "Speaking of which, I'll ask my father for a favor."

Zhang Xun said: "What's the busy, you say."

Zhang Zhongmou: "Now schools have been established in various parts of Shandong, but only at the primary school level, and I want to establish a middle school and a university in Fushi, and I need a management body." I call it the Ministry of Education, this institution must be of the nature of the court, and its role is to compile teaching materials, and to earmark special funds.

Zhang Xun said: "This is no problem, but you have to raise so many children, the pressure is not small!"

Zhang Zhongmou: "This is also a helpless thing, who called the current Ming Dynasty is full of holes and devastation."

Zhang Xun patted him on the shoulder and said, "My son has worked hard."
