"This is not something that a few merchants or dozens of merchants can do."

Tang Qi smiled and said, "This requires joint investment from all merchants in the world."

"All merchants in the world?"

When Liu Che heard this, his eyes lit up.

It turns out that Tang Qi means this.

If all the merchants in the world add up, the wealth they have will definitely be astronomical.

"But, will they want to?"

Wei Qing was a little worried.

Highways are new terms that people have never even heard of.

Due to lack of clarity, there is no confidence in this project.

I refuse to take out the money casually.

This is also a very likely thing.

"Don't forget that the great man belongs to His Majesty."

Tang Qi didn't think this was a difficult problem: "As long as His Majesty comes with one order, who dares not take the money?"

"Okay, I understand."

Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand: "I will draft an order immediately. If anyone refuses to obey, I will send him to the morning gate to behead him."

“…”

Tang Qi couldn't help but twitch when he heard this.

Is this going crazy?

He always shouts and kills.

Although the great man is indeed from the Liu family.

But at least you should be a little low-key, right?

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet. You can wait for me to finish speaking before you talk about it."

Tang Qi directly interrupted Liu Che. To be honest, he was really worried that Emperor Wu of Han would issue an order directly to announce it to the world, and it would be too late at that time.

"Oh? What else do you have to say, sir?"

Liu Che looked at Tang Qi straight.

What Tang Qi said tonight can be said to have completely opened up Liu Che's thinking. Now he just wants to do something big as soon as possible.

"I said that all the merchants in the world should cooperate together, but it is not just that simple letting them pay."

Tang Qi stretched out his finger and said, "First of all, I will take out the method of turning mud into stone, so as to select suitable agents in various regions."

"In this way, every merchant can master the technology of turning mud into stone."

"But, I won't charge half a cent for this technology. All they need to do is to build highways for our Dahan for free."

"In addition, because the cost of casting highways is too huge, I also beg your Majesty to exempt all taxes from these merchants within five years!"

"These taxes, including all their industries..."

“This is no problem.”

Liu Che agreed without thinking.

What does taxes do?

The collection is to enrich the treasury and thus do what some countries need to do.

Now that the merchants are asked to pay for the highway, there is naturally no need for tax payments.

Besides, how much is the tax?

If you can build a highway by relying on taxes, then Liu Che basically doesn't need to call him poor anymore.

That little bit of money, even if you give it up, it doesn't matter.

Not to mention, it has only been five short years.

"Sir, I will say what other requirements you have, and I promise that I will definitely satisfy you one by one."

"This is not my personal requirement, it is a requirement that concerns the development of the entire Han Dynasty."

Tang Qi curled his lips and then continued: "We divide the territory of the Han Dynasty into different areas, and each section of the area selects merchants of varying numbers. For example, if it is 150 miles away, it will take about ten merchants."

"After the merchants select it, they will be asked to invest in the purchase of cement and then build a highway."

"And your Majesty does not need to be cared for in this process. The only thing that needs to be supervised is the quality of the expressway."

"If you find out any tofu project and someone makes money, I hope your Majesty can punish him severely!"

A fierce light flashed in Liu Che's eyes.

"Sir, don't worry, if someone dares to make trouble in this matter, I will make him regret coming to this world."

Wei Qing next to him was already shocked.

Every word Tang Qi said now can bring him a huge shock.

With his IQ, it is hard to imagine these things.

Now that I know, my mind is filled with capital question marks.

Keep asking yourself.

That's OK?

OK, it seems to be feasible...

He is worthy of being an immortal disciple!

In this world, probably only Tang Qi's head can be so lively.

No matter what, His Majesty had to bring Tang Qi back to the Han Dynasty from the Immortal Island. Now, it is indeed the wisest choice to make after taking office...

"In addition, you can also tell those merchants that they are not working in vain."

After drinking a sip of water, Tang Qi continued: "After the expressway is built, they can build various temporary stations on the expressway, and prepare some food and forage in the station."

"If those merchants who come and go through these temporary stations, they must go in and rest, and thus, business will come to their door."

"Of course, considering the remote location and the difficulty of material delivery, they can increase the appropriateness in terms of prices..."

"This...sir even thought of this?"

Liu Che was stunned.

Tang Qi smiled.

This is not an unpopular idea.

In fact, this is the service area on the expressway in later generations.

The price of items in the service area can only be described in one word.

That is, expensive!

If you encounter road blockage, the price will rise sharply, such as instant noodles, the most common food.

When there is a traffic jam on the expressway, if there is a small traffic jam, the price of instant noodles will only double, but if it is stuck for more than ten days, the price of instant noodles will be outrageous.

It is possible to increase by a hundred times!

Those merchants, if they are a little smarter, may think of the profits that the station can bring.

"In addition, in addition to temporary stations, merchants responsible for building expressways can also charge a certain usage fee."

"This usage fee is set by His Majesty, and the final fee will be calculated based on the length of the road."

"Actually, to put it bluntly, this is simply toll. I believe that all the servants of heaven know about the toll!"

"This fee can bring them a lot of income in one day, and a highway can be used for at least a few decades, right?"

"How much money can you make in the past few decades? Not to mention that the manufacturing costs of highways can be made back, they can make a fortune!"

Tang Qi talked for a long time.

This is just the most common toll point on highways.

After the expressway is truly built, smart merchants will definitely be able to come up with some extremely special toll points.
