Chapter 21 If you want to get rich, you must first build roads
On the morning of this day, all the ministers congratulated the emperor on his grandson, and the prince on his eldest son, and Yang Jian's face also had a rare smile, with a more loving color.
The emperor is in a good mood, and the atmosphere of today's morning dynasty is much more relaxed, and the emperor is also smiling happily when he listens to the newspapers from all over the country, and there seems to be nothing to worry about government affairs today.
"King Jin, how is Daxing City?"
"Father, there is no problem with the construction progress of the imperial city, and the son wants to report to his father about the matter of Suzaku Avenue."
"Suzaku Avenue?"
Yang Jian was a little puzzled, what can one road do?
"Father, Zhuque Avenue is the main street of Daxing City, the original plan is to pave the slate, but there is a drawback, just like the road in Chang'an City, the wind blows the sun and the rainforest, and the number of cars and horses is more potholes, the loss is fast, and the cost of later repair is large."
Yang Jian understood that since Yang Guang had mentioned this matter, there must be a solution, so he asked casually: "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"Father, the son showed you cement last time, and it is a new material used to build houses in Daxing City."
"You mean to pave the road with cement?"
Yang Guang nodded: "Yes, Father, I plan to pave a smooth cement road on Suzaku Avenue in Daxing City." ”
"Suzaku Avenue is so wide and long, if you use cement to pave it, you need a lot of cement, can you keep up with the manufacture of cement now?"
Yang Guang immediately shook his head: "I can't keep up, so I told my father that Erchen wants to expand the scale of the cement factory and produce cement in large quantities to meet the use of Suzaku Avenue and the use of residential construction." ”
Yang Jian immediately raised his concerns: "But how about expanding cement production, once Daxingcheng is completed, there will be no need for such a large output?" ”
"Father, Erchen has thought about this problem, Erchen thinks that if cement paving can really be realized, and after expanding production and reducing the scale, maybe not only Daxingcheng, but other cities can also use cement roads, and the roads in the major cities of Dasui will be better."
Yang Jian began to think about this matter, if it can really be done, it may also be an improvement.
The road of the Great Sui, there are still many yellow mud roads in the capital, not to mention other cities, it is not that the imperial court has no money to do a good road, it can be done, but there is no need.
For Xungui, the most important thing to use is a few roads in Chang'an City, these roads are smooth, as for other roads, the yellow mud road is not a big problem on a sunny day, and it will be troublesome on a rainy day, but these troubles are the ordinary people, and what does it have to do with the dignitaries who sit in the carriage and walk the avenue?
Yang Jian is still a man with dreams, he wants his empire to be more prosperous, and the current prosperity of the Great Sui Empire has the foundation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and if he wants to develop further, it is nothing more than a population and a second industry.
The most important thing is to feed these populations with food and the soil that can enable these industries to develop.
Repairing the roads of the city, and even the roads between the cities, is definitely a good and harmless thing, and Yang Guang thought of the official road as soon as he talked about building roads.
Qin Shi Huang's book with the car and the same track to build the Qin straight road, the road built in that year, the Han Dynasty repaired, and then after these years to the Great Sui Dynasty is still a very important traffic road, many trade and military transportation have to be used.
Only when the road is open can it prosper.
Yang Jian asked: "To what extent do you think the price of cement can be reduced?" ”
"Now Erchen can't say for sure, but large-scale production, Erchen now let the craftsmen constantly transform tools and improve manufacturing methods, which should be much lower than now."
At this time, some courtiers stood up and objected, saying: "Your Majesty, now that the Great Sui is fighting against the Turks and building the Great Xing City, our Great Sui has invested too many things now, and it is not appropriate to consume national strength for the time being." ”
Yang Jian ignored his words, motioned for him to go back, and then asked Yang Guang: "King Jin, why do you want to build the road." ”
"Father, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, the roads are not passable, things are not passable, and everything can be smooth when the roads are passed."
In a sentence, if you want to get rich and build roads first, it is simple and concise, concise and to the point, and if you want to make the Great Sui more prosperous, you must repair the roads well, and the transportation is convenient in order to prosper.
Infrastructure is the gene engraved in the bones of Chinese people.
Yang Jian wanted to unify Yang Guang's thoughts as soon as he heard this, but in the face of the uncertainty of cement costs, he did not rashly agree, and when he caught a glimpse of Yang Yong, he asked, "Prince, what do you think?" ”
Yang Yong walked out of the column, today he was full of pride, and said with full of energy: "Erchen has not seen what cement is like, but the minister agrees with the matter of building the road. ”
Yang Guang was surprised, if he remembered correctly, this should be the first time that Yang Yong agreed with his opinion after crossing over, and he said it conclusively and very surely.
What's going on with your eldest brother? Got the wrong medicine?
Yang Yong's words are not finished: "Erchen has traveled back and forth to Luoyang and Chang'an many times, the two largest cities in the Great Sui, the road between the cities is already the best existing road in the Great Sui, and the government has repaired along the road all the year round, in this case, many sections of the road are still potholes, and even the carriage can not go, Erchen can ride a horse, but if the queen mother wants to travel one day, the carriage can not go, it will block the road, so no matter what the cement is like this, the road repair should be carried out." ”
Yang Jian nodded heavily, and said to Yang Yong with a smile on his face: "The prince's suggestion is very good, there are frequent trade between Luoyang and Chang'an, and there are frequent exchanges between the imperial court, if the traffic artery between the two cities is still narrow and cramped, the people of the Great Sui will inevitably say that the imperial court is lazy, in this case, the prince, you just got the eldest son yesterday, and you should not have assigned you a task at this time......
When Yang Yong heard this, he immediately said firmly: "Father, the sons are willing to share their worries for their father." ”
"Okay, good, good, then the prince will explore the road between Luoyang and Chang'an for me, and plan a wider road on the basis of the old road, regardless of whether the cement can really pave the road, since it is said here, the road must be repaired."
"Son, Commander."
Yang Guang was surprised in his heart, why did Yang Yong and Yang Jian change today? Yang Yong, who usually has nothing to do with things, suddenly is willing to come out to lead things to do, and he speaks well, Yang Jian is also so satisfied with Yang Yong today, the prince has just given birth to a child and is diligent in government affairs, which makes all the courtiers look at it in their eyes and nod their heads to express their thoughts.
How did you give birth to a son, has it changed so much?
Yang Guang couldn't figure it out for a while.
"King Jin."
The emperor's call interrupted Yang Guang's distraction.
"The son is here."
"The matter of paving the road with cement on Suzaku Avenue in Daxing City, I am accurate, you do it first, but you can't delay the construction period, and you should be as cautious as possible to expand the scale of production, and the expenditure will be drawn from the state treasury."
Yang Jian divided the matter into two and gave it to Yang Guang and Yang Yong.
Yang Guang returned home, he was puzzled about today's situation, how could it suddenly seem that everyone had changed their temperament, Yang Yong seemed to be a different person directly, was he taken away?
After telling Xiao Menglan about the doubts in her heart, Xiao Menglan replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just become a father, and it is possible to be angry and strong." ”
Yang Guang couldn't help but nodded, not to mention such a big thing as being a father, those bosses who can speak well, pouring you a meal of chicken soup can make you continue to work hard for several days.
Yang Guang put this aside in advance, because he was powerless to interfere with Yang Yong's changes, and called Li Yuan to discuss the big matter first.
When Li Yuan entered the house, Yang Guang told him about cement paving today.
Li Yuan was very excited: "Your Highness, the experiment of cement during this period of time is indeed very useful, but I never thought of using him to pave the way, or Your Highness is powerful." ”
"The matter is decided, the progress of the imperial city Yu Wenkai and others are staring, if you are here, let the workers tamp the soil at the location of Suzaku Avenue, remember to tamp it first, and then start laying the cement pavement as soon as possible, cement production to step up and expand, don't worry about raw materials, my father ordered my country to withdraw money, the money is small, with this order, you can mobilize the rest of the region to supply me with raw materials, I will let people do it, you boldly expand production."
Li Yuan can now be said to be obedient to Yang Guang's words, and Yang Guang will do what he tells him to do.
The two chatted about it, and at this time Li Tongan ran over, she still lived in the Jin Palace, and the Tang Guogong Mansion didn't come, and Yang Guang was definitely embarrassed to drive people away.
"Fourth brother, the princess gave me a string of bracelets, look, it's good-looking."
Li Yuan looked at his sister dotingly: "Good-looking, good-looking." ”
Li Tongan and Xiao Menglan get along well, the girls with children's personalities are cheerful, Xiao Menglan chats with the ladies and often takes her, in fact, according to Xiao Menglan's meaning, Li Tongan has no big opinion when she is in the house, after all, does the prince of Da Sui only have one wife? Li Tongan, who has a good identity and personality, is also justified, and Li Yuan holds important positions under Yang Guang.
Xiao Menglan also walked in, and Li Yuan immediately got up and saluted: "Weichen has seen Princess Jin. ”
"Tang Guogong doesn't need to be polite, my brother sent me some special products from Xiliang a few days ago, and I will bring some when I leave, the old lady Xu likes it."
"Thank you, Princess."
When a few people were chatting happily, there was a noisy sound outside, and it could be heard from a distance that it was his eldest sister, Yang Lihua arrived.
When I got closer, I heard what she was shouting clearly: "Why can't I buy a house in Daxing City, I took out real money to buy a house, why is it not allowed?" Ammor, Amour, you come out. ”
Hearing this voice, Yang Guang had a headache, the order not to let Yang Lihua buy a house was given by Yang Guang, if you don't stop her, all her money will be used to buy a house, and she is now the leader of the real estate speculation group of the Great Sui Dynasty.
