Chapter 123: Win Changge's Road Building Plan!
At this time, everyone looked puzzled.
In business, you have always lost money and I earned, and the benefits of both parties are very small, let alone the benefits of the three parties at the same time.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you sure you're not fooling people?
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what kind of business are you talking about?" Someone spoke curiously.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we are businessmen who exchange benefits with the world at any time, but if there is an opportunity to serve Great Qin by doing business, why not do it?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, although we are considered to be in class, we also have a certain ability to do business!"
“……”
Hearing everyone's voices, Ying Changge just smiled lightly.
Wait until the voice falls slightly, and then raise your hand slightly.
Then, someone brought in a cloth bag from the outside, and it looked like it was bulging, and I don't know what it was.
"Look, everybody." Ying Changge waved his hand and motioned to cut the bag open.
The soldier waved the long knife in his hand, and suddenly, the gray powder in the cloth bag poured out.
"What is this?" Everyone looked at it with some curiosity.
This gray-white thing, could it be some kind of food invented by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Because it looks like flour.
It's just that the color is different.
Looking at everyone's puzzled looks, Ying Changge opened his mouth to introduce: "This thing, called cement, is made of sand and stones according to a certain proportion, and after mixing, I call it concrete, this thing is the best building material that we can find in Daqin today." ”
"The best?"
"Building materials?"
"Concrete?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
Because of this, they have never even heard of it.
But Win Changge, and even say it's the best?
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you mean?" Someone asked tentatively.
"It's simple, cash-for-work!" Although Ying Changge said that his speed was soft, every word clearly fell into everyone's ears.
For a while, everyone was blindsided.
Cash-for-work?
Just use this cement?
"Throughout the ages, our disaster relief method in Daqin has been to directly distribute disaster relief food to the victims, while the disaster victims, in order to save as much as possible, can only stay at home to avoid exerting physical strength."
"In the long run, this will not only discourage the victims, but also be detrimental to the next season's farming, which will take too long to completely save the victims from this famine!"
"During this time, there are countless people who have been displaced and their families have been destroyed, and the best way to minimize the damage is to shorten this time."
Ying Changge said slowly.
Everyone nodded.
Because what Ying Changge said is indeed the truth.
The relief food taken out by the Imperial Disaster Relief cannot be enough for everyone, so in order to eat the food for as long as possible, the best way is to lie still.
In this way, we will have a chance to survive until the next distribution of relief food.
But in this case, the famine will not only affect the victims, but also the entire society.
When the time comes, the economy will collapse, and there will only be more victims.
Therefore, only by getting these people moving, can we circulate all groups in society as much as possible.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you want those victims to work for us, and we will provide them with food?" The brocade-clad man spoke in confusion.
"Not bad!" Ying Changge nodded affirmatively.
"I mean, it's up to you to pay for the construction of roads for our empire using cement!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the merchants who were full of doubts turned green.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, isn't this still robbing them of their property?!
Speaking of which, isn't it still the empire that benefits, the disaster victims, but their loss-making business?
Where is the tripartite win-win!
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!
Not to mention the huge rich and powerful of them.
Win Changge did this, completely ignoring them!
Suddenly, someone shouted:
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if this is the case, what is the difference between robbing our property and robbing us?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, doesn't this still mean the same thing?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you are like this, then we may not dare to agree!"
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it will also be your credit to build the road when the time comes, what are our interests?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, what is the way for me to make money?"
……
Seeing that these people were in a hurry, Ying Changge raised his hand and pressed it.
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."
Hearing Ying Changge's words, everyone's voices became quieter.
Ying Changge spoke again: "I think you should all understand that every thing, no matter how good the materials are used to build or build, needs regular maintenance, and where does the money for this maintenance come from?" ”
Hearing Ying Changge's words, this group of treacherous and cunning businessmen instantly understood.
They pay for the construction of roads, and when the time comes, they will use the repaired roads to collect road taxes and fees!
In this day and age, the most uncomfortable thing to do business is the road!
If the road can be smooth, whether it is for businessmen or ordinary people, the benefits are great!
And if everyone is allowed to choose, a road that is easy to walk, but requires a little money, and a road that cannot be walked, or is difficult to walk, everyone will not hesitate to choose the former!
As long as it can bring enough benefits, even if it is to pay some taxes, what can it do?
So as long as the pricing isn't exaggerated, it's definitely a sure win.
Moreover, as long as the road is repaired, there will definitely be countless people to walk, and as long as it is walked, it will be able to generate benefits.
When the time comes, the profits from those roads will be much more than the benefits they have now hired these victims!
Because the victims don't need to be paid high wages, they just need to be able to have something to eat in the current situation.
In this way, the benefits are almost perfectly displayed!
"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can we ensure that everyone goes our way?" Someone still asked with some unease.
If no one leaves, wouldn't it be ......
Hearing this person's words, Ying Changge said: "This is very simple, you will definitely be worried on the usual road, whether there will be bandits who will rob your goods, or if there is any accident on the road, which will cause you to have losses, right?" ”
"So, when the time comes, we will build a small military post every other section of the road, and send soldiers to patrol and maintain it every day."
"In this way, safety and convenience will become synonymous with these roads, and at that time, who will take the paths?"
Hearing Ying Changge's words, everyone understood now.
Imperial forces guard, this is the greatest security!
Just ask, which bandit would be stupid enough to kill officers and soldiers to rob?
At that time, who will refuse a safe and convenient road!
"That, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Someone else stood up.
His voice was a little expectant, and he asked with some excitement: "Then the money collected by this road in the end is all obtained by us?" ”
Hearing this, the entire courtyard fell silent.
All the businessmen looked at Ying Changge with expectant eyes.
But in the next second, a slightly angry voice sounded.
"What the hell do you want to eat?"
