Changseong, Council Hall,

Changcheng and the nearby wealthy merchant families, all the people gathered together at this moment.

They were also amazed at what they had come today.

I only heard that an inspector came to the capital to build some infrastructure in Luozhou.

But they looked at each other, but they didn't even know what it was.

At this moment, a young man with a delicate face appeared in front of everyone.

"You have been waiting for a long time, this official is the inspection envoy sent by His Majesty to Luozhou, presiding over many matters related to the reconstruction of Luozhou."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present immediately focused on Yang Dong's body.

"This is the patrol envoy sent by His Majesty? Looks so young! ”

"If something is as expected, I'm afraid this one is also coming to Los Angeles to be plated with gold. Do you remember the commander of the Dragon Warrior Army? ”

"You said Lin Shoufu's beloved son? Isn't he busy selling grain? ”

Everyone was talking, and in their eyes towards Yang Dong, they were full of curiosity.

Finally, one of them, an old man over half a hundred years old and richly dressed, was the first to speak:

"This lord has won the trust of His Majesty at a young age, and he must be a man of great talent."

"It's just that I don't know what happened when the inspector summoned me and others?"

Yang Dong slowly got up and sat in the first place. He took a sip of tea and said lightly:

"Do you know what this official is doing today?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Yang Dong bowed his head slightly and continued:

"I won't hide it from you, this official invited you to come over today, it is really an important matter to discuss!"

"Do you know what a high-speed official road is?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was confused.

High-speed official road?

They had never heard of the word before, and they didn't understand its meaning.

Everyone focused their eyes on the old man, faintly respecting him as a talker.

The old man pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked:

"Patrol envoy, forgive the old man for being sloppy, may I ask what this high-speed official road means?"

Yang Dong smiled faintly and said:

"The meaning of the so-called high-speed official road is not much different from that of ordinary official roads. But the difference is that this official road is faster, smoother, and connects only a limited number of large cities. ”

As soon as these words came out, the doubts on everyone's faces became more profound.

"It's understandable that the road is flat, but it's faster, and it's only connected to a few big cities, so what's the point?"

Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, Yang Dong smiled faintly and continued:

"You all have some business in your family, right? If you want to consume during transportation, you all know it in your heart. ”

"Where do you think the most consumed goods are transported?"

Hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared on everyone's faces. One of them was dressed luxuriously, with a white jade belt wrapped around his waist, and was the first to speak:

"A certain family is in the tea business, and I have a certain understanding of transportation consumption."

"If you want to say that the most consumed in transportation, it is nothing more than people eating horses and chewing."

"Every time a caravan came back from the south, they had to keep at least three wagons to stock up on their food. After all, along the way, there are many large and small cities, and often you will pass through some deserted places. ”

"So at least three of the ten wagons were used for consumption on the road."

As soon as these words came out, someone else immediately opened their mouths and said:

"Not only that, but the situation is not peaceful now, if you are unlucky, and you encounter a road robbery on the road, your loss will be at least more than half."

Seeing this, another person couldn't help but speak.

"Actually, your business is pretty good, at least you don't have to worry about the deadline for delivery."

"You know that I have a seafood business in my house. That's why every time I send a caravan to transport it, I'm terrified. ”

"I was afraid that there would be a special situation on the road, which would cause all these aquatic products to die in the carriage. In this way, isn't it a loss of money? ”

Someone's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke:

"No wonder the seafood in Los Angeles is so expensive, I didn't expect it to be so risky. But thinking about the profits, is the reason why this benevolent brother insists on the idea of water, right? ”

When the man heard this, he scratched his head, and a shy smile appeared on his face.

"Hey! It's just some hard-earned money, and God rewards it. ”

When everyone heard this, a smile immediately appeared on their faces.

Yang Dong had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his gaze swept over everyone present.

At this time, the old man at the head interrupted everyone's discussion, and then spoke.

"Inspector, I wonder what your purpose is in asking this question?"

Yang Dong didn't answer immediately, but took out a map and put it in front of everyone.

"Everyone, please see, this is the high-speed official road route designed by this official for Luozhou."

Everyone looked along their fingers, only to see on the map. The bold black lines just connect the major cities of Los Angeles together, forming a dense grid like a spider's web, but only a strip.

"Jiaocheng in the south, lockdown in the north. And Changcheng, where we are now. The things they produce are all different, and the labor price is also different. ”

"For example, the fruits of Jiaocheng, the timber of Changcheng, the iron ore of the closed city......"

"If there is a wide road, which connects several cities together. If you transport it, it will save time and trouble. ”

"If there is someone on the way, there is no need to worry about the bandits who rob the road. Wouldn't that save you money on hiring guards? ”

"If you set up an inn every fifty miles during the journey, will you save the loss of your own equipment?"

Yang Dong's eloquent talk instantly aroused everyone's thinking. As time passed, their eyes gradually brightened.

Everyone present was not a fool, but an extremely shrewd businessman, and they had already imagined the benefits from Yang Dong's words.

If everything is really as this inspector said, then the significance of this high-speed official road can be described as unprecedented!

Thinking about this, everyone's eyes immediately became hot.

"Inspector Shi, is the high-speed official road you are talking about the so-called infrastructure?"

"But I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to repair such a high-speed official road, right? And now that the court is poor and weak, can you come up with all this money at once? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's originally excited eyes quickly regained their composure.

Is the highway good? That's excellent, of course.

But now what the Inspector said was nothing more than a flash in the pan.

There is no silver in the imperial court, how can this official road be cultivated?

What is the difference between saying so much and talking in vain?

Who knows, Yang Dong did not panic at all, and said with a faint smile:

"Don't you think this is your chance?"
