"You will know what time I say it, and he will definitely agree!"
"Want to hear the details!" Su Dingfang said.
The five people also looked at Li Min curiously.
Li Min took a sip of tea and said:
“First! Convenient to travel!”
This is easy to understand.
It is also the basic function of street lights, but Li Min explained it in more detail.
"Convenient travel is an important function of street lights. Because when going out at night, if there are street lights, people only need to go out, and they don't even need to carry lanterns. With street lights, it means that people have more and more time to participate in nightlife
.If there are no street lights, then traveling will cause a lot of inconvenience, and nightlife will not be possible. Nightlife can bring a lot of income to Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty. The higher the income, the higher the tax rate! He
Would you disagree?"
This is really understandable.
Everyone fully agreed.
Li Min did not stop, but said again:
"Second! Ensure safety!"
ensure safety?
What people think of is that since they walk a lot at night, street lights can illuminate their surroundings and make walking safer.
But Li Min didn't think so.
He said: "Chang'an now is actually not very safe at night! Recently, there have been some robberies and other incidents that have occurred at night. Taking into account the events and locations of these cases, they all have something in common, that is, these
Cases tend to break out in dark places! Some dark and remote places have the highest probability of happening!
This is why he imposed a curfew. If it weren't for his desire to develop, this curfew would still exist!
He also knows about the importance of nightlife, doesn’t he?
Taken together, this can also indirectly reflect the sense of security brought by street lights. Yes, criminals can be easily seen under street lights and thus easily captured. They should also consider the consequences before committing crimes!"
Yes, facilitating travel and ensuring safety are the two main functions of street lights.
This is also the main reason why Li Min wants to install street lights everywhere, to reduce the probability of crime and ensure social stability so that he can earn more money!
Best of both worlds! Shocking.
In the future, street lights are a tool. As a tool, the main benefit is to bring convenience to humans. Illuminating the road at night is conducive to the rapid passage of vehicles. From an economic point of view, the higher the brightness, the higher the speed of the vehicle. Time is
Money and time can create greater economic value.
This is the third point, but Li Min did not bring it up.
Because they won't understand.
"Based on the two points I just mentioned, do you think he has any reason to refuse?"
Everyone nodded, yes, Li Shimin had no reason to refuse the street lamp.
Moreover, Li Min wanted to install it directly for free without charging him a penny.
Any fool would agree.
I'm afraid that Li Shimin will have random thoughts.
After all, these things belong to Li Min.
He was afraid that Li Min would trick him.
This won't happen once again.
It all depends on him to weigh the pros and cons and let him consider it.
"My husband said it very well. I didn't expect that a simple street lamp has the importance of these two aspects. It seems that I will have to publicize it well in the future. After writing down the benefits of this street lamp, let more people know that things cannot be judged.
It’s superficial. There needs to be a deeper understanding!”
Su Mei said.
With her readership, she can complete a lot of science popularization, which is more useful than newspapers! Some people still read her books, directly tell the story, and spread the word. The dissemination rate is really high!
"But what if His Majesty still refuses? He might really do that!" Su Dingfang added.
No one knows Li Shimin better than him.
Sometimes, Li Shimin would do some incredible things.
He may reject the plan proposed by Li Min.
Li Min said:
"These are the direct benefits that street lights can bring, as well as indirect benefits! I don't believe that he would ignore the indirect benefits!"
"what is that?"
"With more street lights, nightlife will be enriched and more labor will be needed. It can provide a large number of jobs, give more people something to do, and increase people's income! People naturally don't think about it when they have something to do.
Think about it, the chances of crime will naturally decrease! And nightlife can also release people’s stress. We are so tired from work during the day, so it’s not a good thing to meet up with a few friends and go out for a drink or something!”
Li Min said again.
Everyone just understood what he just said, and now he wants to say something deeper.
No one would have thought that all this was due to the street lights.
It turns out that a street lamp can bring about such a big change in Chang'an.
"In this case, our group can grow more than ten times! My husband must have made a conservative estimate, right?" Wu Yi said.
Li Min just smiled.
That's right, ten times is just his conservative estimate.
Actually more than that.
This is tantamount to creating many new industries.
These industries were beyond the imagination of the ancients.
Shengtang Group took the lead.
Let’s make the hot money first. If someone else joins in the future, it will be time for the Shengtang Group to step back and be behind the scenes.
Moreover, this does not stop at Chang'an, Taizhou, Qingzhou and other places, where he will invest in street lamps.
In the early stage, a thousand sets of street lights were really not enough.
In the cities of the future, generally first- and second-tier cities will have more than a hundred sets of street lights per kilometer. The maximum number is nearly three hundred sets.
Chang'an may not be like the future, but it will definitely need 50 sets per kilometer.
These one thousand sets are only enough to cover a twenty-kilometer road.
In Chang'an now, the total length of all cement roads may reach 100 kilometers.
Then the number of street lights will be huge.
In the future, with the continuous construction of routines, the number will increase.
Therefore, Li Shimin really had no reason to refuse Shengtang Group's investment.
"My husband is so strong! In this case, His Majesty really has no reason to reject us!" Zheng Liwan said.
"Actually, there are more reasons. I dare say that there is no reason why he can refuse us!"
Li Min said.
Then, he added: "By the way, don't talk to them about the things we mentioned today, especially don't let him know, otherwise he may change his mind. I know him too well!"
"Then...how do we let him know these benefits?"
"After the street lamp is built, we will ask Duan Lun to handle this matter. Then, I will provide Duan Lun with a feasibility report and ask him to bring it to the palace for him to see! Only in this way can everything be foolproof!"
Li Min has already thought about the future.
"Let me handle this matter, sir!" Ji Ruxue said proactively.
"No need. When we go back, I will ask Duan Lun to go to the tenement building and I will talk to him again!"
Since Li Min wanted to meet with him alone, no one said anything else.
