Building roads?
When Liu Bai's idea came out, Baiguan felt a little confused.
Doesn’t this mean making money? Why are you talking about spending money again?
The doctor ordered Fang Xing to stand up and asked with some confusion: "Mr. Liu, is this how you make money?"
"Why does it seem like...this is about spending all the ways to make money that Cao Shen, the internal historian, just mentioned!"
After saying these words, all the officials nodded, and they were a little confused about what Liu Bai meant.
What has been the most expensive thing since ancient times?
Fortifications!
When it comes to building roads, it's a bottomless pit. Every road is worth gold!
This Cao Shen just got some money at the inn, and you, Liu Bai, are going to throw it in?
You also say that Cao Shen’s method of making money is just a drop in the bucket?
It’s against common sense!
Regarding these doubts, Liu Bai smiled slightly and was about to explain.
Unexpectedly...
"madness!"
A loud shout sounded, but Yang Ye stood up.
After taking Xia Wuji's elixir, he felt that the surge in his body was suppressed.
Now that the doctor Ling Fang Xing spoke, he felt the pain rising again.
"Short-sighted!"
"Liu Bai is right to build roads!"
"What you value is the money in your pocket, but what Liu Bai wants in his heart is to make the people rich!"
"With roads, all parts of our country in Daqin will be connected, and goods will flow. Whether it is the price of the goods or the wages of the workers, it will naturally be more in line with the interests of the people!"
"This is... revitalization!"
Yang Ye spoke in a deep voice.
He is worthy of being the Great Sinong who has been in charge of money in Da Qin for the longest time. With just a few words, he understood the meaning of Liu Bai's plan!
Liu Bai wants to connect the entire Qin Dynasty, without boundaries of east, west, south, north, or region, so that goods can circulate like the blood of the body!
It seems,
The cost of building this road is huge, and all the profits of the station will be invested in it.
But actually?
Li Si stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I believe that what Liu Bai and Yang Ye said is true!"
"The profit of the post station is mainly due to walking and delivering goods. If the road is built, the cost of the post station will also be reduced, and then the profits will be even greater!"
"Moreover,"
"With the flow of goods from all over the world, although our Daqin commercial tax has been reduced than before, such a revitalization of the situation will definitely contribute to the bulk of the national treasury's tax revenue in the future!"
"Compared to all future generations, this move will indeed be a great benefit!"
How could old foxes like Li Si and Yang Ye fail to see what Liu Bai meant?
As Liu Bai said, stations are points, roads are lines, and points are connected!
They naturally thought of Da Qin as their front! These roads run through north and south, cross east and west, and move horizontally in lines to form a 'situation'!
This situation is a time of panic!
After saying these words, everyone was stunned!
The doctor made Fang Xing look ashamed and quickly returned to his seat.
How could he have imagined that the young Prime Minister Liu's plans would be so deep.
I thought it was just a small matter of 'doing business' for the treasury, but unexpectedly, Prime Minister Liu's real idea was to benefit the people of the entire Daqin and revitalize the economic structure of the entire Daqin?
From a long-term perspective, let alone 'keep up', they almost failed to even 'keep up'!
Liu Bai smiled and said nothing.
There are two old foxes standing on the court, which feels really comfortable.
If nothing else, it saves a lot of words, this is the real deal!
Besides....
From building inns, to building roads, to doing business and taxation in various places, there are countless interests involved.
He is the Right Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, and he seems to have unlimited glory, but... his greed will make everyone crazy.
With Li Si and Yang Ye backing up like this, I felt much more relaxed.
"Your Majesty, I think that the action of the internal historian and Prime Minister Liu is very good! Please accept your Majesty's approval!"
"My lord, second the motion!"
"Me too!"
"...."
When it comes to civil affairs, the two prime ministers and a senior minister have both spoken out, and they are so serious that they can see the benefits. How can these ministers not see the 'window'?
This continuous performance is firstly to help boost the momentum, and secondly, it is to make people familiar with each other. It is still unclear whether one of us will have the opportunity to make some profit from this job in the future!
On the high platform, His Majesty the First Emperor stared at the layout plan.
Add additional stations and connect them in series.
Great Qin was in panic, like a black dragon leaping!
"Cao Shen!"
A majestic voice sounded,
Cao Shen quickly stepped out of the queue and saluted: "I'm here!"
His Majesty the First Emperor spoke in a deep voice: "It is my special decree that as an internal historian, you will take charge of the establishment of additional inns and the construction of roads."
"As soon as the money is due, the drawings will be drawn, the text will be revised, and the work will start after being verified by the Chief Secretary."
This decree made Cao Shen happy, and he quickly agreed: "Promise!"
"I will live up to my will!"
And when he agreed, the eyes of the civil and military officials in the court were filled with envy!
Another young man is about to rise to prominence in the court!
The amount of profit this errand will bring to Da Qin's treasury can all be seen with a discerning eye.
And above the court, having earned most of the treasury income for Great Qin, won't he still have the right to speak by then?
To put it bluntly, you are a businessman, and one of your men has taken over most of your business and is still loyal. You have to cover him with a blanket when he works and sleeps, for fear that he will catch a cold!
At the same time, many officials’ eyes were rolling.
Cao Shen is so young and this matter is so important...then...isn't it...
....
After leaving the court, Cao Shen's face was still flushed with excitement.
Ever since Prime Minister Liu 'cultivated' him, he felt that he had been hit by a huge opportunity!
Now that he is responsible for such important things as the inn and road construction, he has to work harder.
"Cao Shen."
At this moment, a voice sounded, and Li Si patted Cao Shen on the shoulder, with a look of relief on his face.
The stupid young man who had the courage to stand up and say a few words about His Majesty the First Emperor's decision in the court, now has to take on the responsibility alone.
"Li Xiang!"
Seeing Li Si, Cao Shen quickly saluted respectfully. He was also grateful to Li Si from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, now His Majesty will leave the errand to you. I have a few words to say."
Li Si spoke calmly, and Cao Shen quickly said respectfully: "Mr. Li, please speak. Cao Shen will definitely remember it in his heart."
Looking at Cao Shen's appearance, Li Si fell in love with this young man even more.
"Remember, the water is clear and there are no fish."
"In our Daqin, there is only one person like Lao Yang."
"Your foundation is not stable. For this project, it is better to let some water flow out properly than someone trying to smash your bowl!"
"understand?"
Cao Shen was stunned when he heard Li Si's 'advice'.
