Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 414 Negotiations in progress

Better and faster?

Not to mention whether there is any, in the cognition of Wang Zhonghe and others, the concrete road is already the best!
Of course, there are stone paved!But the cost of the two is very different, even a fool knows which one to use!
Looking at the confident Sao Nian standing next to the notice board, several people fell silent!

"Marquis Shiping, just tell me what you want!" Zheng Hao was very curious, but he didn't have the concerns of the others, nor did he have the deep thoughts of those old foxes.

"Let's put it this way!" Ding Yi squeezed his chin, trying to clear his mind.

"Now everyone knows that the concrete road is affordable and durable. Once it is built, the transportation speed will increase several times. It can be transported faster. This is our appeal. But now we are stuck in a misunderstanding!"

"Mistakes in thinking?" Li Xiaogong frowned, he could understand a lot of things that this kid said, but he couldn't understand them together.

"Uh……"

"To put it simply, now we only think about building roads to increase the speed of transportation, but have you ever thought about improving or researching new means of transportation?"

"We used to use horse-drawn carts to pull goods, but now we have more options - tricycles!"

"And these tricycles don't need horses, people can do it! With tricycles, the common people don't need horse-drawn carts, they don't have money to buy horses!"

"I don't need a bullock cart, how many cows can a village have, and you should have seen the speed of the bullock cart!"

After such an explanation, several people instantly woke up.

only……

"Minister Ding, I understand what you're saying! But... what does this have to do with road construction?" Wang Zhonghe had a strange expression on his face, and sat here listening to your nonsense.

"Okay, I'm not going to play tricks anymore!" Seeing that the interest of these people had been aroused, Ding Yi said, pacing.

Cui Bencun's face was not very good-looking. He and Wang Zhonghe had the same idea, but whenever he wanted to speak, he would be held back by Cui Yong next to him.

"Everyone understands, so I don't hide it! The road construction I talked about in the Taiji Temple that day was recognized because it would not harm anyone's interests, and there are even people who can benefit from it, right or wrong ?" Ding Yi glanced at the few people in the field, not shying away from it at all.

Seeing Ding Yi's gaze, they turned their heads and looked aside without saying a word.

"However, although the road can be repaired quickly by doing this, have you considered the consequences?" Ding Yi held a thin stick in his hand and said as he walked while tapping his palm.

as a result of?

What are the consequences of building roads?
It must be a bad consequence to listen to what he said, but how could it be bad to build this road?

"Ding Yi, this road construction was proposed by you, and now His Majesty will entrust it to you to do it. You can do whatever you want as long as His Majesty agrees. Don't be tricky now, everyone is waiting!" Li Xiaogong said helplessly. But he couldn't stand it anymore if he asked questions at every turn and pretended to be closed!
Ding Yi smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said, "These people may not care much, so I'll tell the county king!"

Li Xiaogong had black lines on his face, but he also guessed a little bit.

"Road Xiucheng has been charging. It's okay to say for a few years, but once the days are long, the people will definitely be upset. As for the consequences, I don't need to say that the county king should understand!" Ding Yi raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Cungong.

Li Xiaogong immediately understood that this kid knew that he was here to be His Majesty's mouthpiece.However, the problem he mentioned does exist.

Although Wang Zhonghe and the others were dissatisfied, they didn't say anything. Obviously they also knew the reason why Li Cungong appeared here.

"That's why I thought that the charge for this road will be collected for a few years, and it will be free when the contributors can recover the cost and make some profits!" Ding Yi turned and walked back to his place, poured a glass of juice, and Comforting his dry mouth.

"It's reasonable for you to say so, but have you considered that after the toll collection is stopped, the imperial court will have to spend money for the road maintenance you mentioned? There are so many counties in the Tang Dynasty, after the road is paved, it will be a big expense!" Li Zebo couldn't bear it anymore, it was because of Li Er's face that he could sit down and listen to his nonsense, and he didn't know the reason behind Wang Zhonghe.

"No no no..."

Ding Yi put down his cup and said hastily: "The money can be paid by the imperial court!"

"Huh! The ignorant are fearless. The court's annual taxation is useful. How can you do whatever you want!" Cui Bencun finally seized the opportunity to humiliate Ding Yi. He was active and he had no hesitation!
"Ugh!"

Ding Yi suddenly sighed and lowered his head, and said slowly: "I will inform His Majesty about these things, and His Majesty will have to make the final decision. These are just a matter of deployment, but... no matter what, the fee will be canceled in the end!"

"So, I invite everyone to come here today to discuss another cooperation! Of course, what I said before is not empty talk, I just hope that you can support it when the time comes!"

I rely on!

A few people finally understood that this guy said two chapters just to pave the way for the next thing!
I still want us to support you to cancel the fee, you are probably thinking too much!
What you kept saying in the Tai Chi Hall will be canceled in the end?

It seems that he made up his mind a long time ago, first use the fee to arouse the interest of all the officials, and then use what he is about to say to let us help him calm down the cancellation of the fee!

How in the world can there be such a good thing?What do you want?I'm afraid I'm not out of my mind!

However, Li Xiaogong looked at him with strange eyes. He went around in such a big circle. He just wanted to repair the roads in Datang, and finally canceled the toll to make it popular with the public.

No matter how you look at it, this is all for Datang's sake, and it doesn't involve any distracting thoughts!

Not bad!
The others obviously understood too, but they didn't say it out loud, they were thinking about what Ding Yi was going to say next.

"Let's talk about how to cooperate first!" Cui Yong said.

Ding Yi was overjoyed, it seemed that these people were acquiescing!

"The road construction is on the right track, I will resign as the Minister of Transportation! After that, I will go back to Siping and study something!"

"Something that can change Datang and the whole world!"

"With it, the distance is no longer a problem, the number of people is no longer a problem, and the weight is no longer a problem!"

……

……

……

The scene was eerily quiet, and everyone looked at Ding Yi like a fool.

one thing?
Anything can change Datang, returning people, distance, and weight are not a problem!

Listen, listen, what bastards are you talking about, it's a mistake to stay here today!
Ding Yi glanced at everyone with a look of disdain, even Li Xiaogong and Zheng Hao ate their food with their heads down, so as to get rid of this embarrassing situation.

"Okay..." Ding Yi spread his hands and said, "I know you don't believe it. In the past, people couldn't go to the sky, but I sent two people into the sky with a hot air balloon!"

"Similarly, now is the time to open your eyes!"
