There is no business at the moment, everything that should be eaten has been eaten, and most of the caravans have already found a place to camp and rest in the service area. The boss is also happy to have someone to chat with him.
"It's very simple. His Highness King Qin said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Who is His Highness King Qin? He is a saint from heaven descending to earth. Throughout the ages, I have never seen anyone who cares more about the life and death of our people than His Highness King Qin."
"Of course, this is also thanks to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for giving His Highness the King of Qin the opportunity to show his talents."
"So, the words of His Highness King Qin are the clear path for our current Tang Dynasty, and the thoughts of His Highness King Qin are the guiding ideology of the Tang Dynasty. Even His Majesty and the princes in the court believe this. Are there still people in the world who don't believe it? "
Li Ke: "..." Why do these words sound so familiar? Do you still want to hold high the great banner of the theory I proposed? This is coming from someone, it is simply outrageous.
However, considering that the bosses of these service areas have contact with everyone, I am sure that some people from my Yuelai Trading Company and those political commissars have been here before, that is, they can say this.
"Without His Highness King Qin, how could our people live the good life we have today?"
"His Highness not only exempted us from taxes, but also gave us money in return! When have we ever seen such a court! So since His Highness King Qin said that if we want to get rich, we must first build roads, then we will build roads."
"In each county that this official road passes through, their county officials united with some large households in the county to organize, and then the people spontaneously organized each village, and each person divided a section of the road and worked in a section. Then everyone came together to build the road, level it, and widen it. !”
"For example, in a flat area like ours, the construction of official roads is naturally very fast. Although they are all dirt roads, they are constantly compacted, so it is not that difficult to walk even on rainy days, especially when the roads are widened. ”
"I heard that the Ministry of Construction of the imperial court issued a brand-new road construction method. It said that these dirt roads that have been continuously rolled are laid with a layer of sand and gravel, which is mixed with sand and gravel and then laid. Even if it rains There will be no muddy conditions either.”
"Several nearby counties have begun to search for suitable sand and gravel mines, and are preparing to lay them directly. After all, if the road is too muddy on rainy days, it will really affect the caravan's movement." The boss said happily.
After all, the better the official roads are built, the more benefits they will get from the bosses in the service area. If there are more caravans, there will naturally be more people eating and consuming.
"This is indeed a good thing. The main reason is that if you work like this, it will not affect the busy work of farming?" Li Ke asked.
"It doesn't matter. We all come here to work during the off-season. The county magistrate helps us adjust the time. These tasks will not affect the busy farming season. Your Highness has already solved our biggest problem. We can't help with the big things. Is it possible that these things that are closely related to ourselves can’t help?”
"And I heard that the railway was built in Chencang. It was also invented by His Highness. It is said that it can pull tens of thousands of tons of goods and travel thousands of miles a day. That is amazing. Mr. Gentleman, when you came from there, did you see that train?" The boss asked curiously.
"Fortunately I met him once." Li Ke nodded.
"Either you, Lang Jun, are highly knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Although I am not far from Chencang, I have never taken the time to visit. Let me just say, if Your Highness is not a god, then what? Maybe even such a magical thing could be invented. Gee, it’s amazing just thinking about it.” The boss still looked admiring.
"Well... to be honest, I was actually lucky enough to meet His Highness once. I'm sure His Highness is not a god." Li Ke couldn't laugh or cry.
"Hahaha, Mr. Lang, I am not laughing at you, but if His Highness is really a god, can we, the naked eyes, see it? That is definitely not possible. So, Mr. Lang, do you think His Highness is an ordinary person?" People are normal.”
"But let me tell you, just look at it. Although I am not young and am over forty years old this year, I think I can live for more than twenty years. I don't know what will happen to us in the Tang Dynasty by then. If something magical appears, it must have been invented by His Highness."
"With so many things coming out, it's not a god or a saint. Who is it?" the boss said with a smile.
Li Ke: "..."
To some extent, this is indeed the case.
"What I said makes sense." Li Ke couldn't really argue with him. "So, you should all be living a good life."
"Not bad, it must be good, and it's getting better and better." The boss nodded seriously, and then continued: "I think you must have read a book, Lang Jun, so some of the things I said are unpleasant to you, Lang Jun." Don’t worry about it.”
"It's okay, brother, just say it, I will definitely not be angry." Li Ke shook his head helplessly.
"Hehe, let's just talk about this, Your Majesty. I think Your Majesty should withdraw the canonization of Saint Kong. Saint Kong is called a saint, but did he solve the problem of learning for the people of the world? No. He solved the problem of the people of the world. Is there a problem with eating? No, maybe he hasn’t even solved the problem of unifying the world."
"Is this how he can be canonized? He is incomparable to His Highness the King of Qin." The boss was indeed straightforward in his speech. If he were another scholar, he might have to distinguish between high and low with him.
"Haha, boss, what you said is wrong." A man in his forties not far away laughed loudly and said. He was also a merchant and had set up a shop not far from the boss's door. Get ready to rest.
Apparently he heard what Li Ke said to his boss and couldn't help but intervene.
"Why am I so bad?" The boss looked at him and asked, "Can he still be better than His Highness King Qin?"
"Of course not. What I am saying is that it is precisely because he is not as good as our Highness the King of Qin that it is appropriate to make him a saint. Think about it, when Saint Kong is canonized in the future, His Highness the King of Qin will contribute more than him. In the future, we must not be granted a higher position? Otherwise, how can the descendants of Saint Kong stay?" The man said with a smile.
The boss was stunned for a moment, then turned around and took out a bowl from under the counter next to him. There was a bowl of mutton in it. The boss gave it to the man directly.
"I saw that you didn't seem to have eaten, so I said this to you. This mutton is leftover today. Don't dislike it. I'll treat it to you." The boss said quickly.
"Then I have to thank you, boss." The man was so happy that he reached out and took the boss's bowl.
