Vol 2 Chapter 799: Fudge Dafa is good

Picking an auspicious day, and the sun is shining brightly, the young man's family ordered to enter the palace.
This year, you have to choose a date when you enter the palace, 嘤嘤嘤...
Survival is difficult!
Before he arrived at Xingqing Palace, he was stopped.
"Master Jialing is going to face the saint? It just so happens that we are together."
The Chinese book made Master Li very familiar and kindly invited.
Shao Fu Jialing hesitated, do you want another day?
Look up at the sky, and then lower your head to think about the next auspicious day in the Chinese calendar, which seems to be next month.
That's all, that's all, let's put up with Master Li for now.
"Master Li, please!"
"Sir, please!"
The two were polite to each other, and finally walked side by side, and went to Xingqing Palace to meet the Holy Master.
"Do two Aiqing have important things?"
It happened that Emperor Wen De was tired of dealing with memorials, and talking to the two courtiers was just to relax.
Shaofu Jialing secretly glanced at Lord Li.
Lord Li smiled and signaled that the family should give priority to the adults.
Shaofu Jialing had no scruples.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has a piece of good news to report."
"What good news?"
Emperor Wen De suddenly became interested.
It's all bad news lately, and it's a mess. There is an urgent need for good news to wash away bad luck.
"Your Majesty, a brand new silver mine has been discovered in the northwest."
"Really?"
"This is absolutely true. This is a sample of a silver mine, and a map..."
The Shaofu Family Order presents samples and maps.
Emperor Wen De was very excited, Ming Changen quickly presented it.
Emperor Wen De held the unrefined silver ore sample in his hands, as if he wanted to draw strength from it.
The map is a bit crude, but it is enough to see the location of the silver mine.
"The silver mine is located deep in the mountains?"
"Exactly!"
Master Li took the opportunity to interject, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Hexi, there is a new silver mine in the household. However, the silver mine is located in the northwest and is deep in the mountains. It is not convenient to mine or transport out. It is really a bit troublesome. And also consider. In the Northwest Army, if it is not handled properly, conflicts will probably breed."
Shaofu Clan Ling glanced at Master Li strangely.
Lord Li looked calm.
Emperor Wende nodded again and again, "Li Aiqing is right. Master Jialing, what do you think of this matter?"
Xiaofu Jialing immediately said: "The old official thought that the road should be built."
Emperor Wende frowned slightly, "Building a road?"
Shaofu Jialing continued: "The old minister thought that the official road from the capital to the northwest should be renovated, and it is best to paved a cement road. From the northwest to the silver mine vein, a road needs to be built to ensure the silver The ore can be transported out of the mountains and back to the capital."
His Majesty Li’s urgency said, "Master Family Order, you can say it lightly. From the capital to the northwest, and then from the northwest to the silver mine, it is a distance of thousands of miles. How can the imperial court now get so much money to build roads? , And it’s still a cement road. To spend a lot of money to repair roads for a silver mine vein is simply putting the cart before the horse.
Your Majesty, the minister opposes road construction, which is increasing the burden on the people. The veins of the silver mine are there, they won't run away and can be mined at any time. But building roads will never work now. It is not easy for the household department to accumulate a little money and grain, and there are more important uses. "
The young man's brows twitched, Master Li is a little weird today.
Although Lord Li was plausible, every sentence sounded very reasonable.
However, Shaofu Family Ling's gaze was torch and he had already seen Master Li.
This person seemed to be waiting for him on the way deliberately, deliberately coming with him to meet the Lord.
Lord Li's loyalty is difficult to distinguish, and the purpose is unknown.
The family leader of Shaofu decided to wait and see the changes.
Emperor Wen De knocked on the table and said, "Li Aiqing's words are not unreasonable. Road construction is not a trivial matter. At the beginning, the imperial court presided over the construction of the concrete road from Beijing to Hedong, which was time-consuming, laborious and costly. There were many twists and turns. The construction period was extended by nearly two years. Only one road was completed. The establishment of toll booths was not so smooth. The tolls charged were not as much as expected."
Shaofu Jialing became anxious and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the concrete road from Beijing to Hedong is actually very busy, and the tolls charged are far greater than the amount paid below. The reason for the declining tolls, It's all because of the prevalence of ink corruption. Toll station personnel are almost controlled by various related parties, and various problems breed.
In contrast to the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou, each toll station regularly checks accounts, regularly transfers personnel, and inspects regularly, rejecting all related households, or arranging related households in different places, plus various system preventions, so the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou can be Healthy development, profitable every year. "
Emperor Wen De frowned.
Mr. Li echoed: "Weichen has also heard of the circumstances mentioned by Mr. Family Ling. It is said that in Beijing and Hedong, including the government offices along the way, many related households have arranged inadequate children in their homes at toll booths. Corruption breeds, it is true. It is normal.
As for the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou, all systems are designed to prevent corruption from happening because of the commercial management. Instead, the better, the better. Even the people below have no chance to reach out. "
Emperor Wende looked at the two courtiers, "The two Aiqings mean that the court system is not as good as a firm."
Lord Li said frankly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. Wechen's point is that since the construction of cement roads is to make money, it must be operated in a way of making money. The people below turn the toll gates into yamen, and sooner or later they will lose money. thing."
Emperor Wen De hummed, noncommittal.
He looked at the family leader of the young man again, "To build the cement road from the capital to the northwest, the family leader has calculated how much money is needed? How to make a profit?"
The family leader of the young mansion thought carefully and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has carefully considered this issue. The old minister suggested that the whole world should pay for the construction of the cement road from the capital to the northwest, and allow them to operate for 30 to 40 years. Right, the imperial court holds shares in it.
In this way, you can save money and food, and you can get a cement road without a penny from the court. Secondly, with the operating methods of the four seas, the income generated by this road may exceed the income of the Beijing to Hedong Cement Road. "
Mr. Li added,
Let the whole world pay more to build a cement road from the northwest to the silver mine vein. In this way, the court can smoothly mine the silver mine and smoothly transport the silver mine ore to the capital."
Shaofu Jialing said,
If there is no good thing, the four seas will not do it. If you build the cement road from the capital to the northwest, you can get the right to operate and charge tolls. The cement road from the northwest to the veins can get nothing. To."
"Then think of a way to give them a little benefit." Lord Li said indifferently.
Emperor Wen De coughed slightly.
Master Li and Shaofu Jialing closed their mouths and waited for Emperor Wen De to follow.
Emperor Wen De asked: "It sounds like the two Aiqings agree to let the whole world pay for road construction?"
"Thirty to forty years of management rights in exchange for a cement road, Weichen thinks it is worth it."
"The imperial court can also occupy a portion of the shares and make profits together."
Master Li and Shaofu's family Lingyi sang and made peace, and both agreed that the whole world would come forward to build roads.
Emperor Wen De tapped the table lightly and looked around.
Shaofu Jialing was also secretly looking at Lord Li.
Very weird!
Master Li seems to be helping him on purpose!
Is it his illusion?
"Sir Jia Ling, you first withdraw. I want to talk with Li Aiqing alone."
Shaofu Jialing was stunned, then recovered, and quickly bowed back.
The hall was quiet.
Emperor Wen De asked bluntly: "What is Aiqing's thoughts about letting Sihai preside over the construction of the concrete road from Beijing to the northwest?"
Master Li said loudly, "Your Majesty, the imperial court needs this road. According to Weichen, the official road from the capital to the northwest has been crushed by carts and horses carrying grain, grass and equipment all the year round. This road has long since started. Will seriously hinder the transportation of grain and grass.
Since the world wants to build roads, let them do it. The whole process is paved with cement roads, so that the transportation of grain and grass can save at least ten days. Ten days is enough to decide victory or defeat on the battlefield.
Obviously, Sihai is better at managing than the court. The cement road from Beijing to Hedong is proof. The imperial court can take ownership of official roads to buy shares and share the toll fee dividend. You can own a concrete road without spending money and effort, and you can still sit on dividends, so why not do it. "
Emperor Wen De nodded repeatedly and repaired the concrete road, which was indeed not a bad thing for the court.
He said loudly and loudly: "If you want to build a road, you can't just build the official road from Beijing to the northwest, you also need to build a cement official road from Beijing to Hexi. If Beirong goes south, northwest and Hexi may become a battlefield."
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the minister is far behind. Let the family leader talk about this matter?"
Emperor Wen De hummed, "Aiqing's family ordered the adults to clarify my request, and there is no need to disclose the internal information."
"Weichen understands. After weichen gets down, he will ask Mr. Jialing to make it clear. It's just that he doesn't know what benefits he wants to promise the four seas before the four seas agree to build two cement roads at the same time."
Emperor Wen De snorted, "The imperial court has promised the right to operate the world for 40 years. What benefits are needed. For someone else, I would never want to get involved in the official road, let alone set up toll stations and rest stations on the official road."
