Chapter 2631: Money touching people
[Chen Zichuan, it's Chen Zichuan after all. Even if he doesn't use conspiracies, his ability to take ten steps is really amazing. And this meticulous thinking cannot be solved even if he knows it. With the upright means, if he wins, it's no wonder that everyone is willing to believe in his morality.] Liu Ba looked at Chen Xi who was swaying in front of him and was amazed.
"We can't complete the construction of such a standard." Zhou Yu said with a hilarious smile, "If we really want to build a town, it will probably be more than one million kilometers."
"So I plan to open cement lime firing technology to the county magistrates in the next step." Chen Xi smiled and said, "Only in this way can the road be built to various villages. By the way, I plan to go back and try to report to the eldest princess and include the road construction in the local officials' assessment."
"If this is the case, you can try it." Zhou Yu nodded, "But if this is the case, what should I do if I use it in the civil service? How to calculate the price, the actual price is internal, and the high price is externally subsidized internally?"
"If you are ready to open the civilian use, the price will be included in the scope of control like other things. Nowadays, many things are no longer needed to be controlled. After all, after unification, there will be no ban." Chen Xi also considered that he would gradually release the purchase of kitchen utensils and agricultural utensils, and no longer regulate the quantity of these as before.
"Since that's the case, there's no problem. But I think it will take twenty or thirty years to achieve the kind you painted on the map." Zhou Yu shook his head and said.
"Don't worry about him, I've done it slowly according to the century-old plan. I might be more grateful if I can complete it in twenty or thirty years." Chen Xi said indifferently. He was really not joking about this, and the road was not so easy to repair.
As the scope of the rule became larger and larger, Chen Xi's lime factory was repairing more and more, but even now it was barely enough to supply the rule. Otherwise, after the northern border, Chen Xi would not have directly given the lime burning prescription to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao built the factory in Yongliang.
After all, the production capacity is not enough. Large lime factories also require money to burn, and social infrastructure such as roads is quite difficult to recover without charging tolls. That is, Chen Xi can barely rely on the official high prices to buy and sell lime cement and subsidize part of it. After all, he is doing an exclusive business and can still cover it.
In Chen Xi's opinion, the return on this thing is a bit slow, but this thing is a basic building material. If you don't want to return to the previous civil structure, then even Chen Xi has to build it. Besides, infrastructure will stimulate domestic demand. It is better to have work for the people under the rule of law than to let them be idle. The so-called people have troubles.
Chen Xi didn't want to finally let the people under his control eat and wear a good meal. As a result, this group of people had nothing to do in the slack farm and had all kinds of troubles. So they came to move bricks during the slack farm, and they could eat bricks. The official food was good, the oil and salt were in place, and they also had enough food.
So every year during the busy farming season, Chen Xi will send someone to investigate the simple, rough and brainless work that only requires all his strength. Then, when the time comes, he will ask the people to inform the people that the official will also need to build roads, embankments, bridges, and dilapidated houses.
However, even if there are only a few jobs, they cannot stand the huge scale. Chen Xi's place can barely cover the concrete consumed every year. Just like what the Chinese eat and what price increases in later generations, and what things can be broken by 1.3 billion. Although it is not as exaggerated as later generations, the output is far from comparable to later generations.
If it weren't for setting up a road card, it would be too much to collect tolls. Chen Xi could barely cover it with other financial subsidies. Maybe a way toll road card unique to the feudal dynasty would appear on the road now.
Fortunately, Chen Xi is also a good person in charge of money. He should not repair too much, so that the output is greater than the investment. Even if it is slower, it will be considered as stumble all the way, the road has been repaired, what should be built has been built, and the income and expenditure is balanced.
However, this cannot be done later. The country has been unified. Many places have not been built, let alone county roads, and national highways have not been built. If it continues to advance in the previous way, it will be too slow. Moreover, if a country cannot even build roads, it will be restricted in many aspects.
It is also based on this that Chen Xi gritted his teeth to distribute technology to the states, and then invested part of the money at the national level, and the local government invested part of the money. Then the local government raised part of the money to build the general material field needed for this infrastructure.
If this thing really needs to be sold at Chen Xi's price, the speed of repaying is really a bit desperate. I hope that all states can offer some Ren Shang and help take over the market...
However, such a county-level factory does not require too much investment at one time. As for Renshang support, the Han Dynasty is now very good, and Renshang still has relatively many.
Well, it is not a question of benevolence or not. It is mainly because of the current era that allows businessmen to participate in public welfare undertakings. To be honest, it is not really about exploiting businessmen, but about giving businessmen face.
The black materials of the Chen family and the black materials of Lu Buwei made the status of merchants and the difficulty of the city directly break through the sky. If the country is willing to relax in this regard, there will be more wealthy businessmen who are willing to cut their heads and get mixed in.
After all, most businessmen cannot be wealthy families like the Zhen family with hereditary titles and official positions, nor can they be as lucky as the Mi family to have the opportunity to turn the family back.
Most businessmen rely more on branches of certain aristocratic families. Just like Chen Xi’s father helped the Chen family handle business, he was ashamed to be with the merchants at this time. Most of the Zhongyuan aristocratic families set up branches to remotely control the merchants who depend on themselves, and very few people stepped down in person.
Even though Chen Xi is constantly adjusting various rules and regulations, the status of merchants is still not high. Most of the top 300 merchants in the Central Plains live on their backs with their aristocratic families. As for Chen Xi’s personal appearance to stand up for merchants, it is impossible.
Therefore, although Chen Xi said that he hoped that Ren Shang would help him or her, in fact, if there was such an opportunity, the merchants would be willing to participate. Even if it was very likely that the large sum of money would be turned into a long-term dead money, the more he was willing to jump into the pit.
After all, if you participate in this matter, it is equivalent to the official opening of amulets, and it is also clear that it has a connection with the official. As long as you don’t commit suicide in the future, your life will be much easier than before. There is probably no difference between the great merchants of this era and the merchants of later generations in their minds.
After all, no one wants the money they have worked hard to make, so they just leave it to others for so-called protection. If possible, people actually hope that they can protect themselves.
"If that's the case, the first investment will be a bit damaging." Liu Ba said with a frown, which can be regarded as paving the way for Chen Xi.
"Well, so I plan to use technology and money to transfer it, and then the local government will raise part of it." Chen Xi did not say it thoroughly, but except for Sun Ce, there was probably no guy with really low intelligence. Everyone immediately understood.
When Chen Xi spoke, the civil servants who heard this frowned. Some people wanted to ask, but in the end they didn't. If they didn't speak, they meant a default.
"Okay, this one seems to be fine, it's over." Chen Xi said with a smile. It's best if no one speaks. Just passing it like this can be regarded as a talisman for the group of businessmen who abide by the rules.
"These roads connect major prefectures and counties in China, and the next thing involved is the distribution points and trading centers." Chen Xi nodded to Lu Su, Lu Su nodded and continued to speak.
As soon as these words were said, Cao Cao and Sun Ce were interested. They had always wanted to do this thing. After all, the taxes in Taishan County directly overwhelmed their taxes in a state. What a collapsed thing.
However, after understanding the situation, they all stopped moving. After all, Chen Xi was holding the rules, control methods, or management models. Some things were not something that Cao and Sun could do as long as they wanted. Even if they were imitating, they needed the lowest capital.
Now Chen Xi's intention is to open up again. Even if they are destined to leave the Central Plains, the traces of their circle of power are very obvious. Even if they leave the Central Plains, the circle of power will not collapse in a short time.
After all, they are not dead yet. As long as they are not dead, their factions and their political power will not be ruined.
As for the lack of parties or factions, let’s wake up, Liu Bei has all the best, but someone can suppress them and prevent them from becoming vicious competition. Naturally, with a profit-seeking mentality, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are very interested in this.
Even if the world is unified, they can block guns for each other on the battlefield and fight for this country, but they have to fight for everything they should fight for. Even if the final trading point must be owned by the country, it would be easy to take advantage of this thing if it can be stuck in their former circle of power.
"Looking at your eyes so bright, you know that you are very interested in this one." Chen Xi glanced and found that even a gentleman like Xun Yu had very bright eyes. This is a real big shot, a very big one.
"This kind of thing has a profound impact on us, so we naturally need to be cautious." Xun Yu said with a gentle smile without any intention of concealing it.
"Okay, this makes sense. I haven't figured out the place yet. I'm going to build three places. Where do you think it should be built?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile that was unclear whether it was malicious or kind.
