Opportunity?

As soon as these words came out, a trace of incomprehension immediately appeared on the faces of everyone present, and only a few of them had a look of thought on their faces.

Seeing this, Yang Dong immediately spoke.

"Yes, this patrol is giving you a chance."

"It is your blessing to meet this official."

After speaking, he picked up the teacup and took another sip, and then continued unhurriedly:

"What do you think should be the revenue of this high-speed official road?"

Official's revenue?

When everyone heard this, their faces were a little more clear.

"Nowadays, there is no unified billing method for Da Zhou Guandao. Some of them are frighteningly high taxes to enter the city, some are miscellaneous taxes collected by petty officials, and even more are tolls collected by those bandits who occupy the mountains and fall into the grass. ”

"There is no specific number of all this. But two or three out of ten are definitely there. ”

Yang Dong bowed slightly, and the smile on his face became more and more full. Like the big bad wolf who tempted Little Red Riding Hood to open the door.

"I won't hide it from you, after this high-speed official road is repaired, there will be no miscellaneous taxes and fees. As long as the tax stipulated by the Great Zhou is paid, the entry tax can be paid. ”

"As for the use of the expressway, it will be calculated according to the eleven. And on the official highway of the expressway, there will be no bandits collecting tolls. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces immediately showed surprise.

"If that's the case, it's great news for traders."

"Yes, yes, if that's the case, those caravans will take the highway anyway, even if it means paying some extra taxes. Or maybe it's a detour because of it. ”

"After all, the most worrying thing for a businessman is to encounter bandits, and if you are lucky, you will take money to buy your life. If you're unlucky, you're killing people and selling more goods. ”

Yang Dong knew that he had sprinkled enough bait, and now he was waiting for the fish to take the bait.

He coughed lightly, interrupting the others' discussions.

After his gaze swept over everyone present, he said lightly.

"Don't hide it from you, today's imperial court does not have so many silver and two high-speed official roads."

As soon as these words came out, it was difficult to hide the disappointment in everyone's eyes.

"But as this official said, this is actually an opportunity for you."

"This official came to Luozhou this time, and specially asked His Majesty for the right to collect taxes on the high-speed official road."

"The imperial court will take five points of profit, and as for the remaining five points, one point will be subsidized to the Luozhou state capital, and one point will be held by the official himself. And the remaining three points ......"

Yang Dong didn't continue, but swept his gaze to the people present.

When everyone heard this, their bodies couldn't help but tremble. The right to collect taxes, this is the right to collect taxes on the high-speed official road!

Fang Cai's beautiful imagination was actually placed in front of his eyes at this moment!

Just thinking about this makes people's hearts beat wildly.

As for only having three points?

Come on, that's a toll tax! Although it doesn't seem like much, it's a profitable business!

Among them, there was a man who was proficient in arithmetic, and after a short calculation, he came to a surprising conclusion.

That is, even if the principal is paid, as long as the high-speed official road is completed.

In just two years, the entire cost can be recovered.

From now on, it's pure earning!

As for the abandonment of official roads?

How can you build a road for only a few years?

It can be said that as long as the city is not deserted, then this official road can basically continue to exist.

And isn't this just a lucrative deal?

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were hot.

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask.

"Dare to ask the Inspector Envoy, this time I was summoned to come, but for the sake of building a high-speed official road?"

"Now that the state of Los Angeles has been affected, my family has also suffered a lot. But since it is a call from the imperial court, we should naturally do our best to share your worries and solve problems. ”

"I wonder how I can get involved?"

Yang Dong smiled faintly and said:

"It's very simple, just build the road."

"Don't hide it from you, now the high-speed official road from Changcheng to Jiaocheng has fallen into the hands of Shen Laosan of Shen Ji Grain Shop."

"You should have seen the construction standards of this official road."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces showed a look of shock.

It turns out that in the past few days, the hot work in and out of the city has been for the sake of cultivating official roads?

"I've heard of this Shen Laosan, he is a well-known grain merchant in the capital!"

"I heard that he has a habit, that is, he likes to give his concubine to others to play with."

"Ahem, this brother is off topic, and now I'm waiting to discuss the matter of the high-speed official road."

At this moment, the old man, who had been silent, suddenly spoke again.

"Dare to ask Inspector Yang, why is the soil used for paving the official road different from the usual soil?"

"The old man once sent people to investigate, and according to his subordinates, after the soil dried, it turned out to be extremely hard. And it's very flat! ”

"Please also ask Yang to inspect and teach!"

Hearing this, Yang Dong looked at the old man with a little more surprise and seriousness in his eyes.

This old man is worthy of being the person they elected to speak.

With this eyesight alone, he has long surpassed others.

Unexpectedly, this old man actually saw the core secret of the high-speed official road!

In that case, the young master doesn't mind throwing another cake to tempt you.

Yang Dong's heart moved slightly, and suddenly said seriously:

"Dare to ask your father-in-law's surname?"

"Don't give your surname Chen, Chen family Chen Qiu."

The old man arched his hand, but the curiosity on his face did not diminish by half a point.

"It turned out to be Mr. Chen."

Yang Dong arched his hand seriously, which was regarded as etiquette. And then he continued:

"Mr. Chen's eyes are like a torch, and he actually discovered one of the most important technologies of high-speed official roads."

"The kind of soil that can harden when it dries, I call it cement."

Cement?

In everyone's eyes, a doubt flashed again.

This kind of amazing thing, they have never heard of before.

"Yes, it's cement."

Yang Dong bowed slightly, and a hint of pride flashed on his face.

Look, this is the power of the young master as a traverser.

Take out something casually, and you will be amazed.

"Ahem, the so-called cement is made from the ancestral recipe of this official."

"When it's completely dry, it basically has the hardness of a slate, and it's so flat that you don't need to carve it by a craftsman."

"You should know that this high-speed official road was built for only a few days, and it has more than 30 miles. With such progress, it will take more than half a month to repair to Jiaocheng. ”

"It only takes seven days to dry, and the highway is completely passable and not affected by the rain."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were immediately filled with curiosity.

"Such a fetish, can Yang Patrol choose to sell it? The price is expensive, right? ”

"No, if the price is high, how can Shen Laosan's goods be willing to be used to pave the way?"

"Do you mean ......?"

Yang Dong smiled faintly and said:

"As you expected, this cement is indeed affordable...... It is 30% cheaper than ordinary paving! ”
