Chapter 742: Feng Quji Was Trapped

"Your Highness, are you kidding?"

When he heard that the road was to be built into cement, Feng Quji's old face suddenly changed color.

Is this guy trying to retaliate deliberately because he said a few extra words and try to cheat him out of his money?

"Does Feng Shangshu think this prince is joking?"

Ying Feiyu deliberately suppressed his smile and looked serious.

"cocoa……?"

"What's wrong? Since the palace can use cement to build roads, why can't the private sector do the same?"

Feng Qu made a sad face and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ying Feiyu.

At the beginning of cement research, Ying Zheng had ordered the Ministry of Industry to pave all the roads in the palace with cement.

It's very smooth when you step on it and won't accumulate water. It's very useful!

"Yes! I also think the cement road is good!"

Even Ying Zheng agreed very much.

"My son suggested that not only this road, but also any road construction in the future, use cement roads directly!"

Ying Feiyu raised his hand and suggested.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is right! The main road in Xianyang has not been repaired for many years. It is fine for walking, but it is really bumpy for cars and horses to walk on, which is not conducive to traffic!"

"Yes! We in Xianyang are the face of the entire Daqin, so we really need to take a good rest!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that not only the roads in Xianyang need to be renovated, but Chi Road and the main roads leading to various counties and counties should also be renovated. In this way, if there is any unrest, we can rush there as soon as possible!"

"Yes, what Marquis Tongwu said makes sense. If all the main roads can be repaired, it will be much more convenient for merchants to do business and for people to farm...!"

When it came to building roads, several old guys got involved and gave their suggestions.

As a military general, Wang Ben naturally thought of the military aspect first.

Once the general's road is repaired, he can speed up his march!

Meng Yi, on the other hand, was thinking about the people.

Nowadays, every county is covered with dirt roads. When it rains, it is difficult for vehicles and horses to travel, and they cannot be used dry for several days, which has a great impact on the work of the people!

If solid cement roads can be built, people can save a lot of time in farming!

"Um!"

Ying Zheng initially cooperated with Ying Feiyu and asked Feng Quji to pay for the road construction.

But as they talked, the ministers all participated, and Ying Zheng suddenly felt that it made sense!

Daqin can't just focus on the development of railways, it should also build the main roads in various counties and counties!

"But... this will cost a lot of money!"

The railway route has been surveyed, and the Jiangnan area is relatively warm, so construction has begun.

As for Guanzhong and the north, construction will start after the ice and snow melt next year!

If cement roads are built throughout Daqin, the treasury may be empty!

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"

Zhang Han, the Minister of Revenue, quickly handed over his hand to report.

Da Qin has indeed become much more relaxed in recent years than before, but even if it is more relaxed, it cannot withstand such a torment!

He also wants to build cement roads throughout the Qin Dynasty, but he has to have money!

That's why all the other veterans spoke just now, but he and Feng Quji remained silent!

"Father, there is a saying that if you want to be rich, build roads first! Only when roads are built can trade opportunities be increased, and people's lives can be better and better! The cement factory is in the hands of the son, and the son can make zero profit.

supply!"

This time, what Ying Feiyu said was true.

In order to better develop Daqin and benefit the people, he would rather not make money on cement!

Anyway, there are many industries under his control, and this one is not missing at all!

“If you want to be rich, build roads first?”

Ying Zheng muttered secretly.

Why hasn't he heard this sentence?

But it does make sense!

Repairing the roads will benefit the country and the people!

"His Royal Highness, this is a great move!"

"Yes! For the sake of our Great Qin and the people, we are willing to give up profits!"

"If we only charge costs and labor, we can leave at least 30% of the money, right?"

"That's right! If it originally cost 10,000 gold to build a road in Xianyang City, now it only costs 7,000 gold. With the money saved, half of the road can be built!"

"Everyone is trying their best to make money from the court, but His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to give up profits, which is really admirable...!"

After listening to Ying Feiyu's words, all the civil and military officials in the court immediately exploded, and they all raised their hands towards Ying Feiyu.

Put the little bit of dissatisfaction you had before completely behind you!

Feng Quji was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

In the beginning, it was just because of these guys that he asked Ying Feiyu to block the way of the common people who were going to take telegrams, and let that kid think of a solution. Then these things happened, and he still had to lose tens of thousands of gold!

Unexpectedly, in a sudden turn of events, these guys turned over and changed their previous attitude, admiring the boy!

Doesn't that mean that everything I have done before is in vain?

Are you asking for the money?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's move is indeed benevolent, but part of the money from the treasury has been allocated to railway construction, and it also needs to support the people affected by floods in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, the Mauryan Dynasty still needs supplies! The remaining roads in Xianyang City can barely be renovated.

If you want to build even Chi Road and the main roads in various counties, I’m afraid it won’t work!”

Zhang Han made a rough calculation in his mind and looked embarrassed.

"Alas...! What a pity!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly.

The reason why I didn't persist was because I knew how expensive it would be to build cement roads throughout Daqin.

Now that the country is weak, he can't force it!

The ministers who were originally full of hope now felt disappointed.

Only Feng Quji was disappointed with a hint of joy!

If cement roads cannot be built throughout Daqin, then the one in front of the telegraph office does not need to be built with cement, which can save a lot of money!

"Who said you have to pay for building a cement road yourself?"

Just when everyone was disappointed, Ying Feiyu's playful voice sounded again.

"Um?"

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs regained hope.

"What? Is it possible that you have an idea?"

Ying Zheng stared at him hopefully.

Just like what he said to Lian'er before, this kid's little head is full of weird ideas, and he can still find a solution this time!

"That's right!"

Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.

"Say it quickly!"

The eyes of Ying Zheng and all the civil and military ministers present fell on him.

"Just like Feng Shangshu, didn't he just fund the construction of one?"

Ying Feiyu pursed his lips towards Feng Quji, with a hint of ridicule on his face.

"Alas...! What did I think? It turns out this is it!"

Ying Zheng was obviously disappointed, "Not everyone is as enlightened as Feng Shangshu!"

As expected, upon hearing this, all the ministers present lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything anymore.

If you are aware, you will have to pay for it.

Their family wealth is very thin, but unlike those six old guys, they are so rich that it doesn't matter if they spend money to build two roads!
