I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 62 Time waits for no one

The only thing wrong is that these people are not professionals after all. After paving, there are bumps and no one is smooth.

Furthermore, everyone lacks a sense of collaboration and public morality. Everyone only cares about what is in front of their own door, so how can they care about others?

Once upon a time, it appeared that the door of the shop on this side was high, and the door of the shop on that side was low. There was a cement road in the middle, and there were still dirt roads on both sides. If the wheels of the carriage wanted to pass, people had to push them from behind.

 There are even places where the horse-drawn carriage tilts directly as it passes by, causing it to overturn if you are not careful.

Both businessmen and local residents are suffering.

 We finally reached an agreement to set the height and build the road together. Anyway, no one is taking care of the cement at the construction site now, just pull it by the truckload.

Even if everyone worked together, the potholes were finally repaired like they are today.

However, it still worked.

Even if it rains, you can still hitch a donkey cart or a horse-drawn carriage and go out.

There are even smart people who imitate the newly built palaces, schools, and orphanages, and put cement on the walls, and finally apply lime. With just one operation, the originally dilapidated house has been completely transformed, giving it the feeling of bright windows and cleanliness. .

Whoever looks at it is jealous.

 In a short period of time, the exterior walls of a large number of houses in Baiyun City turned white.

Some people feel that just painting the walls doesn’t show off their ability and ability, so they simply tear down the original old house.

  Rebuild!

The newly built brick kiln in Hewangfu can be credited!

Even if you can’t pay, you can still work to offset the debt!

 Those with a little bit of determination just gritted their teeth and did it. They have had enough living in a house that leaks when it rains.

 Then big houses were built one after another.

The most annoying thing is those who do business. In terms of financial resources, they are much better than these Kuhaha who have to buy bricks on credit.

However, they cannot demolish the house casually, otherwise will the business continue?

It's okay to make less money if you stop for ten days and a half, but when the house is built, these regular customers will basically be gone, right?

 But I am afraid of comparison. When I compare my shop with the newly built house of my neighbor behind me, it immediately looks like a doghouse!

However, people moved dead trees and moved them to live ones. Some businessmen took the lead in building a two-story pavement next to the newly built road with Wangfu. This way, they did not have to demolish the old shop and got a new one, killing two birds with one stone.

The newly built road has become a traffic artery, with people and cars constantly coming and going. Surprisingly, business is even better than in the city.

Businessmen who are not stupid in their brains are gradually starting to build shops on the side of the road.

The road is a stretch of road, and it didn’t take long for it to become the commercial center of Baiyun City.

Furthermore, these businessmen also built many branch roads on the main road on their own initiative, just to make it easier for customers to come and go.

Lin Yi had expected this change, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Every morning, Lin Yi would wake up on time to the sound of gongs and drums in school and the roars of students and guards.

Sitting on the bed, feeling regretful, he shouldn't have built the school so close to the mansion!

 It’s so noisy that even sleeping in is now a luxury.

 After breakfast, he went to Bian Jing and strongly requested that a square be rebuilt specifically for guard and student training.

He couldn't stand the noise that surrounded his ears every day, so it was better to keep them away.

Bian Jing agreed without hesitation, and he was very lucky that the prince did not ask him to rebuild the palace, otherwise he would have been busy to death.

Since the trial production of explosives came to fruition, he has been immersed in the construction site, just like a child who got a new toy, throwing explosives all over the mountain, cracking mountains and rocks, and there is no spare time to care about other things!

Bian Jing said excitedly, "Your Majesty, the road to Nanzhou is just around the corner!"

 “Tell me a specific time,” Lin Yi learned from the previous lesson and asked specifically, “Don’t tell me, you will have to practice for ten or eight years.”

Bian Jing said proudly, "Don't worry, my lord, it won't take that long! Since the advent of explosives, it's not that difficult to build the mountain road. It's much faster."

Lin Yidao, "When will it be possible to complete the cultivation?"

“Three years!” Bian Jing pointed out his fingers and stroked his beard and said, “I promise to complete the work within three years!”

 “That’s really fast!”

If Lin Yi hadn't considered the other party's age, he would have wanted to go up and kick him. He was not building a highway, and he had to take into account the quality of the project!

 It is nothing more than laying the foundation on the original road and paving it with cement. Some sections of the road do not even need cement at all. Some mountain roads only need to be widened!

He personally went to see it. Once the explosives were planted, a large area was blown up with a bang. All the gravel needed to be cleared was the complete road.

 Simply outrageous.

 Just three more years?

Just kidding!

Without building this road, no one can come in to Sanhe. There will be no popularity. This place will be like a backwater with no good food, drink or fun. He can’t accept it!

 “Your Majesty.”

Bian Jing was puzzled. He was already trying his best to speed up!

“Is it a lack of people or a lack of money?” Lin Yi asked next.

"There is indeed a shortage of manpower, but Your Majesty, a shovel and a chisel need to be purchased from outside," Bian Jing said with a wry smile. "Now that Yuezhou is in turmoil, business transactions have been interrupted for half a month. Now there are no shops in Baiyun City at all. goods.

 No matter how many people I recruit, it will be useless. "

Lin Yi asked curiously, "The huge Baiyun City doesn't even have a blacksmith?"

Bian Jing cupped his hands and said, "There are three blacksmith shops in Baiyun City, and the daily output is limited. Even if you give them all to me, it won't be enough."

Lin Yi sighed and said, "Can Sanhe produce stone coal and iron stone?"

Bian Jingdao said, "More than a hundred miles to the south, there is all thin coal. The owner is Lianggen. Three hundred miles to the west, there are iron, stone and copper stones. Qiu Wujin occupied this land and minted copper coins privately."

 “Liang Gen.

ˆ Qiu Wujin.”

Lin Yi originally thought that these two old men were just ordinary country rich men. He was a little embarrassed when he accepted them 80,000 taels. He thought that the landlord's family had no surplus food and he couldn't exploit them too much, so he let it go gently. Got them!

 It takes a long time, but the poorest one is you!

 When people mint their own money, it is equivalent to running a money printing press!

Bian Jing said, "These two families have been here for generations, and they couldn't be richer."

Lin Yi said angrily, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Bian Jing said in astonishment, "Everyone in Sanhe knows that during General Mei Jingzhi's southern expedition, the Liang family alone received five hundred thousand taels of salary.

Liang Gen’s grandson Liang Hao is now the Chief Secretary of Nanzhou, ranking seventh grade. "

Lin Yi sighed leisurely and said, "From what you say, they still have a background. I can't just do anything?"

Bian Jing said with a smile, "That's not true. The prince has a distinguished status, and the small Liang family is of no concern. Naturally, General Mei will not bother the prince with trivial matters."

 “I have no plans to move on them for the time being,”

Lin Yi continued, "Let us tell you who has gold or silver mines.

 Xiao Yingzi, please keep this in mind for me. "

At present, he has almost used up all his money, but he will be short of money later.
