"Yes, I heard Mr. Fang say that your name is Liu Yong, right? These opinions are very good. Above the court, ordinary people like you need to speak out. I am very pleased."
After boasting, he answered the person's confusion: "You are right. If these roads charge ordinary people, it will indeed cause greater pressure on the people, so these roads can be opened to ordinary people free of charge."
Zhang Youjin, the Minister of Household Affairs, spoke out to stop him.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done. If the roads are built for free to ordinary people, then the businessmen will have the opportunity to pretend to be ordinary people and use this to fool the public. Furthermore, the money for building roads is huge. Even if they charge a low fee to the ordinary people, they will not be able to do it.
Collect some money and speed up road construction."
Liu Yong was about to retort, but he did not expect that His Majesty would directly ask the young Minister of Household Affairs: "In your opinion, what should I do?"
Zhang Youjin bowed and said, "I don't dare. The funds for road construction are too high. If there are many people using the road, the road will be easily damaged. I just think that part of the fee can be charged, or it can be free of charge in sections. For example, for your Majesty or the Queen's birthday, the Dragon Boat Festival every Spring Festival, and the National
It is used for people to travel on the days of festivals and other celebrations."
"Hahahaha," Qin Huaidao couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhang Youjin's words: "I love you, my love, I don't know what to say to you. You really tried your best to share my worries, but the reason why I
The purpose of building roads is not to increase the revenue of the treasury, but to serve the people all over the world. There is no profit income from the people traveling on the road, so if we continue to earn their money, wouldn’t we be competing with the people for profit?”
"What's more, after these roads are repaired, people still need to work. How can they be used regularly? I have already decided on this matter and there is no need to discuss it further. The tolls will only be for trade."
Seeing this, Zhang Youjin had no choice but to retreat.
"In that case, Li Jingzang, just follow this. As for the production of cement, I will ask the Industrial City to cooperate with you in a while."
"promise."
The matter has been completely decided, and all we need to do is follow the plan. After the Great Chao Conference was disbanded, Qin Huaidao made a special trip to the Industrial City.
According to his plan, the Industrial City has gradually promoted expansion matters.
When he arrived at the Industrial City with Luo Wu and the security forces responsible for protecting him, he found that the progress was much faster than he had imagined.
At this time, Industrial City has completed the merger of Industrial City and Qinjiazhuang, and many industries are also integrating with each other. Today's Industrial City is called Industrial City East City, and Qinjiazhuang is called West City. Under the publicity of Chang'an Daily
, a steady stream of workers entered the city, bringing a large population to the industrial city.
After receiving the message, Zhao Wenshu and Jia Youcai led people to the city area early to wait. When Qin Huai arrived, they quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Seeing that the Industrial City was in full swing, Qin Huaidao praised happily: "Manager Zhao, it is indeed right to hand over the Industrial City to your hands. Now the entire Industrial City is getting bigger and bigger, and you have contributed a lot to it."
Zhao Wenwen replied with a smile: "That is also your Majesty's guidance. Without your Majesty's plan to expand the industrial city, I would just maintain the status quo. It is thanks to your Majesty's establishment of Chang'an Daily that I have the opportunity to promote it to Chang'an Daily.
I really didn’t expect Chang’an Daily’s propaganda to be so effective. Today alone, there are more than a thousand new workers in the Industrial City.”
"very good."
Qin Huaidao looked at Jia Youcai again: "Uncle Jia, how is Qinjiazhuang?"
Jia Youcai's face lit up: "It's so good. The veterans from before had their own land. This merger not only got their own compensation money and property, but also started businesses for workers. Some workers worked directly in the industrial city."
We need everything we need to settle down, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and these are the ways for everyone to make a fortune."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. There are still important tasks that need to be entrusted to you in the Industrial City. Come on, take me to the house to talk."
After the expansion, the industrial city had its own meeting house, which was called "Daye Mansion". Under the leadership of Zhao Wenshu and Jia Youcai, everyone entered the Daye Mansion. After making tea, they began to talk about business.
This time Qin Huaidao has two purposes, one is to improve the industrial city expansion plan, and the other is related to the construction of cement roads.
The plan was something he had thought of long ago on the way back. After the entire industrial city was expanded to four times its area, it must be modeled. With the support of the Mohists, many technologies could be advanced. Therefore, he planned to build a cement house in the industrial city.
Pilot.
If you want to build a high-rise cement house, in addition to the necessary foundation technology, the steel-making technology also needs to be adjusted. Although the standard and toughness of the steel bars required for the cement house are not as good as those for weapons manufacturing, it also has its own unique technical level. In addition to
In addition, construction and safety technology are also very important.
He handed a plan to Jia Youcai: "Uncle Jia, this is a list of materials required for the construction of a standardized three-story cement house. After you prepare the manpower and materials, notify me, and I will personally guide the construction of the model house.
After the housing is completed, the industrial city can be built in batches."
"What is this?" Jia Youcai got the plan and looked through it. It was okay if he didn't read it. After reading it, he was greatly surprised.
This is a completely different technology from the mainstream construction technology of Dahan.
Qin Huaidao explained: "This is a multi-story cement building. Compared with ordinary wooden houses and brick houses, it is not only cold and earthquake resistant, but also can accommodate more people. You prepare it first, and I will tell you during the construction process.
There is cement production, and I have to build roads recently. I must ensure that the cement is produced at the maximum output, so that I can eat as much cement as I want."
Jia Youcai nodded silently.
He has long been accustomed to the new technologies and surprises Qin Huaidao constantly comes up with.
As for Zhao Wenshu, Qin Huaidao had other arrangements.
The entire Changhang-Hangzhou Highway is divided into 116 sections, each section is 300 miles long and requires a lot of labor and cement. This is what Qin Huaidao needs Zhao Wen to do.
"Wen Zhao, I see that you have a lot of experience in managing your industrial city. I have something important to entrust you with when I come here this time. I see that the Daye Mansion has been built. The industrial city will be renamed Daye City from today on. Daye City
From now on, I will leave it to Uncle Jia to take care of it, and follow me to the Dahan Business Department as you wish."
"Nuo, may I ask your Majesty why you joined the Dahan Division?" Zhao Wenwen asked.
"I have 116 industrial cities located from Chang'an to Hangzhou. You need to be responsible for them. After you join the Dahan Division, you will establish a Dahan City Construction Company to specialize in city construction."
"I accept the decree, but there are so many industrial cities, and the manpower and funds required are huge. I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to do it for a while." Zhao Wenshu only took care of one industrial city, and now he was suddenly asked to take charge of so many. He was a little worried that he would not be able to manage it.
.
Seeing this, Qin Huaidao comforted him and said: "It doesn't matter, I will take care of the manpower for you. As for the funds, of course they are taken from the people and used by the people. I will let the transportation construction company in Jingzang allocate the first payment to you."
