Chapter 1347 - Extraordinary Means
The official road from Guxian Town to Fushan County passes through the south side of Majiazhuang, which is one of the main roads connecting Dengzhou City and Fushan County, and this road continues eastward after passing through Fushan County, leading to Weihaiwei and Chengshanwei at the eastern end of the Shandong Peninsula. However, after Haihan settled in Fushan County, the land connection between the various guard posts in the east and Dengzhou City was cut off, and the exchange of goods and personnel had to be detoured from the mountainous area south of Fushan County, which was very time-consuming and laborious. The government had no way to deal with the Haihan people entrenched here, and later simply changed the mode of communication between the two places to sea transportation, at least the warships on Zhifu Island where the Haihan were stationed have not yet cut off the coastal shipping routes. However, the passage of the people has not been greatly affected, but there are a few more passes along the way that are controlled by Haihan and are in charge of public security inspections.
Zheng Ai has traveled back and forth on this road many times in the past, and he has to admit that after the Haihan people came here, they did much faster than the government to repair bridges and roads. Now the road is wide and flat, and it is no longer muddy on rainy days, and more than half of the credit for this has to be credited to the Haihan people. On the wall of a village next to the road, a conspicuous Haihan slogan was painted with white paint - if you want to get rich, build a road first.
The content of this slogan is simple and crude, but when you taste it, it seems to make a lot of sense. In the past, Zheng Ai's large flatbed truck to transport goods had to pass through the official road from Guxian Town to Majiabao for more than 20 miles, and it took a whole day, because the road was because of the Denglai Rebellion a few years ago, the warring parties in order to block traffic, cut off a lot of places, and after the war, the government did not have enough financial resources to organize maintenance, and many places on the road were rugged, and it was quite inconvenient for cars and horses to pass.
After the Haihan people occupied this place, they organized hundreds of laborers and spent a month and a half repairing and maintaining this section of the road to ensure that it reached its normal traffic capacity. Zheng Ai knew that the Haihan people had also built a road to the direction of Zhifu Island by the sea, so that the goods they had brought from the south could enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty through the land passage. Now it only takes less than half a day to complete this journey, which is indeed much more convenient than in the past, especially the merchants who came from the direction of Dengzhou to trade with Haihan, and benefited a lot from it.
After the road was built, the impact on the lives of the people along the route was also obvious, and the young and strong people in the nearby villages gave up their original livelihoods and turned to work for the Haihan people in order to obtain a good salary. Some people even simply emigrated with their families and settled in the south according to the arrangement of the Haihan people.
So are these people rich? According to Zheng Ai's observations, the people in this region are indeed accumulating wealth at a rapid rate, even including himself who maintains trade relations with Haihan. The money he has earned as a franchisee in the past six months is probably enough to buy half of Guxian Town. It's a pity that these fortunes will not fall into his private pocket, after removing the normal operating expenses and the funds for buying and selling Haihan officials, the remaining profits still have to be handed over, don't think about easily putting them into your own pocket.
Of course, Zheng Ai only played the role of a philistine businessman, but he was not actually a money-hungry person, otherwise he would not have organized such a suicidal armed operation.
