Vol 2 Chapter 19: If you want to build a road first

The departure of the Viscounts of Leilis and the Baron of Henas has caused a spur of the heart of Xu Yi, and has not had any impact on the lives of the people of Bang Ta City. All things are moving forward on the established route.
With the end of spring ploughing, the renovation of farmland in Bangta City was successfully completed with the support of a large number of farmland magic machinery.
According to the statistics of the city government, through this farmland renovation project, the area of ​​cultivated farmland outside Bangta City has jumped from more than 30,000 hectares to more than 110,000 hectares, and has been successfully planted accordingly. crop.
It is estimated that the output of Bangta City will be at least twice as high as last year.
If all goes well, this amazing effect can be achieved by the autumn harvest, which is an extremely important achievement for the Count of Satsuma, who is the owner of Bangta City.
Therefore, although the Count of Satsuma was very busy during this time, he was always very happy. Every time he saw Xu Yi, he smiled and expressed his kindness to Xu.
However, when he heard the request made by Xu also today, his face suddenly became difficult to look.

Building a road?
Count Satsuma looked at Xu Yi with a look of distress. Shen Shen said:
Mr. Xu, this road, although I don’t know how it differs from those outside the city, even those roads outside the city are built. It’s very expensive. This road was raised by the guy who has always been willing to spend money. I’m afraid it’s more expensive? The current financial situation of our Bangta City is not good, I am afraid I can’t promise you.

Xu also revealed a smile that had been expected for a long time, and did not care about it: "The urban master, this road, it is indeed very expensive to say that spending money. But in my hometown there is a saying, called to be rich, first Road repair. The meaning is that if you want Bangta City to be rich, the first thing to do is to build roads and protect traffic. For example, we have a lot of specialties in Bangta City, such as Steele and I. One of them is the rock berry that I like very much for a while. I think you must have eaten this fruit, you should admit it is delicious?"
Earl Satsuma couldn't help but nodded. "Well, that's right. This rock berry is delicious and juicy, sweet and delicious. If you eat more, you won't get tired. If you put it in Anweimar City, I want to sell a gold coin." Someone wants."
"Yeah. Such a good fruit, but because it is not easy to save, can only be sold in Bangta City and several nearby cities. Can not afford to sell the price, there is no way to promote it, this can be lost a lot Financial resources." Xu Yi looked a pity.
"Indeed, if you can sell...etc. What does this have to do with the construction of a road from Bangta City to the Rain Valley?" The Count of Satsuma suddenly woke up.
To sell the rock berry to a farther place, it is obvious that building a road from Bangta City to Anweimar City is the most important. Your kid can’t think of the flag for the city of Bang Ta, running for you. The new Feishang will fight for benefits."
The so-called "falling valley" refers to the land leased by the King of the Kings in the western suburbs of Bang Ta City about 50 kilometers away.
Because this land is surrounded by two mountains, and behind the rain, it is named Rain Valley.
For the new Feishang Association to rent a large piece of land. The Earl of Satsuma is of course clear, and how can he not know that Xu also proposed to build a road from Bangta City to the Rain Valley?
"The master of the city, our new Feishang Chamber of Commerce is also the Chamber of Commerce of Bangta City. We will fight for the benefits of our new Flying Chamber of Commerce. It is not to fight for the benefits of our Bangta City." Xu also immediately screamed. "If it wasn't for our Chamber of Commerce, we thought about solving problems for the urban masters, preparing to open more factory workshops and recruiting a large number of workers, resulting in a hectare of land leased from the Viscount Lesley. How could we think of developing rain? Valley, are you still asking for a road? You can't marry me.
The Earl of Satsuma didn't sigh with a sigh of relief: "Okay, you kid is good to say, after all, it's because your new club will develop. I don't care what, don't you prepare to start a new factory again?" Speaking of this, the Count of Satsuma suddenly looked alive. After a hesitation, he asked: "When you say it, Xu Yi, why don't you continue to rent Leslie's territory? Instead of renting a large piece of land far away from Bangta City to the King? Just just not enough. Reason, can you say no?"
Xu Yigan said with a smile: "The owner of the city, renting the territory of the Viscount of Leslie, is a bit inconvenient. After all, I am afraid that in a few days, it will not be the territory of the Viscount of Leslie, but the others. Territory."
"Oh? It seems that Leslie’s kid told you before he left?" Earl Satsuma accidentally stunned Xu. "This kid is good for you, and I am willing to tell you these things."
"The Viscount is indeed good to me..." Thinking of the advice before Viscount Lesley left, Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, licking his brow furrow and taking a breath, saying to the Count of Satsuma: "The Lord of the City, Even if we really want to develop a rainy valley for our new Feishang Association, it is a very legitimate reason to build a road from Bangta City to the Rain Valley. You said that you will fully support the development of our new Flying Chamber of Commerce. Now that our development has encountered a bottleneck, you need your strong support, you can not directly veto."
"You kid, want to run against me?" Earl Satsuma smiled and sighed: "Actually, I understand your thoughts and want to help you. Even the road plan you gave me last time, I am serious. I have studied it and feel that if you build more roads according to your plan, it will definitely help the development of Bangta City, but..."
Count Satsuma looked helplessly and spread his hands.
"I really don't have any money. Although Bangta City is a good city in the Kingdom of Lampari, it is still a good part of the tax revenue, but it is still paid to the kingdom a lot of money every year. The rest of the money is spent in Bangta City. There is no extra money to do other things on the inside and outside maintenance. As for the road repair... I don’t want to say that the material itself is costly, and it’s hard for me to get a lot of labor.

Xu Yizhen smiled: "The master of the city, this is the important reason why I came to you this time. Building the road is not the same as what you think of the road. Last year, our new flying company built a road to the factory. The biggest cost is indeed artificial, so I understand your difficulties. But building the cement concrete road I am talking about is different because there is a lot of magical mechanical assistance. In fact, the artificial is not as high as you think, mainly spent on materials. on."
"Magic machinery?" Count Satsuma looked at Xu Yi with a puzzled look. "What do you mean, even the new Flyer Chamber of Commerce will be able to get the corresponding magic machinery?"
Xu Yiwei was very proud and said with a proud face: "Of course. Our new Feishang Chamber of Commerce is specialized in the development of magical machinery. The magic machinery needed to build roads is naturally not a problem."
"That's what you mean, these magical machines should have been developed successfully?" asked the Count of Satsuma.
"It’s just that the research and development is successful, but it has been officially put into use." Xu Yixiao answered. "The master of the city, the first two days of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, President Cruise, invited you to see their latest cement concrete floor, and recommended that you change the square in front of the city government to this kind of ground?"
The Earl of Satsuma thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "This water-concrete concrete, your new flying chamber of commerce is also involved? When I just popped the word out of your mouth, I felt very strange, why this guy will know this thing.

"Accurately, this thing is what I taught to the Amrit Chamber of Commerce. And the most important cement is also provided by the cement plant of our new Feishang Chamber of Commerce." Xu also laughed.
How about the road built by the cement concrete pavement?

"That is of course good." Count Satsuma did not hesitate.
To be honest, I thought about this problem when I saw the concrete concrete floor two days ago. Since this thing can be used to lay a square, it is possible to use it to lay the road. This thing is much flatter than the average ground. It’s also much stronger. If you can build such a road, it’s a lot more than the dirt and gravel roads outside Bangta City.

Having said that, Count Satsuma once again sighed. "It can still be the problem. This concrete concrete floor is so expensive. According to President Cruise, it is necessary to spend sixty silver coins on the ground of one square meter. If you use this to lay the road... that is simply Use gold coins to pave the way."
Xu also smiled a little, thinking that a square meter of cement concrete ground would cost sixty silver coins, which would be converted into the currency of the earth, but the sixty soft sisters would be flat. If they were known by those who engaged in road engineering on the earth, they would think that they would cut corners. Tofu residue works.
Of course, this is also because the price of the world is too low. In fact, the sixty silver coins are only for laying a square meter of ground. For the people of this world, it is indeed an amazingly high price.
"Prince, you don't have to worry. This road does not require you to produce a copper coin. I am looking for you today. I just hope that you can approve the construction of this road. Without your approval, I can't rush to build it myself. Such a long road." Xu Yidao.
The Earl of Satsuma suddenly stunned: "What do you mean... this road from Bangta City to the rainy valley is more than 50 kilometers long, and your New Flying Chamber of Commerce intends to pay for it entirely?"
Xu also smiled and nodded: "Yes."
