"That's right! Since the imperial court has no money now, just let people with money in their pockets come forward! For example, Feng Shangshu!"

After Ying Feiyu finished speaking with a smile, he did not forget to emphasize his tone and brought Feng Quji with him.

"No, no, no, His Highness the Crown Prince is joking!"

Feng Quji waved his hands repeatedly, so frightened.

"This prince is not joking...!"

Afterwards, Ying Feiyu stopped his smile and bowed his hands to Ying Zheng with a serious face, "Let me tell you, father, the world is so big that even if the treasury has money, it cannot all be spent on building roads. Why don't you try my son's advice?"

The method is to let the rich and distinguished people in the world contribute money to repair it!"

"Hmph! I do think so, but those wealthy households are all as smart as monkeys. How can they be willing to spend money to build roads?"

Ying Zheng curled his lips, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"That's right! It's absolutely impossible for a businessman to spend his own money to build roads if he's looking for profits!"

"No! They won't take the initiative to pay if they can't afford it early!"

"Unless the knife is placed on their necks, then the Tao will be cultivated, but the people's hearts will be scattered...!"

The officials discussed it in twos and threes, but no one was optimistic about this suggestion.

"Your Highness, this method will definitely not work. No one will be willing to use their own money to build roads!"

Father-in-law Wang Ben also shook his head helplessly.

"Why is no one willing to spend money to build roads? I am willing!"

"What?"

Wang Ben was shocked when he heard this.

The discussion in the whole court also stopped abruptly!

Some ministers at the back kept plucking their ears, thinking they had heard wrongly!

His Royal Highness actually said he was willing to pay for road construction?

"Are you serious, kid?"

Ying Zheng looked slightly sideways.

According to the past, this guy only takes advantage and does not suffer any losses!

Why did you go so uncharacteristically today that you first said cement would be supplied at cost price and then said you were willing to pay for road construction?

The sudden generosity left him confused!

Several other veterans are also full of doubts!

The prince never engages in loss-making business, so how could he use up his family's wealth to build roads?

If they said it was all for Great Qin, they wouldn't believe it!

Are there any business opportunities that they don't know about?

Thinking of this, several old guys immediately shook their heads.

It costs a lot of money to build a cement road, so how can we still make money?

"Father, I have never lied to you!"

"Well, that's true!"

"Of course, building cement roads requires a huge amount of money, and I also have certain conditions!"

Seeing the nervous expressions of all the veterans, Ying Feiyu immediately crossed his legs and changed into a philistine expression.

"oh……"

After saying this, the expressions of the ministers relaxed a lot.

This is the Crown Prince they know, who is unwilling to take advantage of others!

Of course, they also want to know, what are the conditions mentioned by His Royal Highness?

If he wants to be famous, he is already the prince, and His Majesty is about to ascend the throne.

If it was for profit, it would be even more impossible. The court clearly had no money, so who would give him this profit?

"Well! Tell me, what are the conditions?"

Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair and sofa with a stern look on his face, quietly waiting for what the young lady would say.

He has already made up his mind. If he wants money, he will definitely not have it!

If he had money, he would have repaired it himself!

"My father also knows the cost of building cement roads. My son has invested a huge amount of money to build roads to facilitate the passage of people's cars and horses, so there will be a small fee...!"

"What? You want to collect money? How is this different from a gangster who robs someone on the road?"

However, before Ying Feiyu could finish speaking, Ying Zheng bombed the temple and stood up angrily.

"Yes! Your Highness, this is not allowed!"

After the ministers understood this, they all raised their hands and prayed.

"Can you please listen to what I have to say first?"

Ying Feiyu was not happy at that time.

Before he finished speaking, why did he put the hat of a gangster on his head?

"Okay! Say it!"

Ying Zheng put his hands on his hips and said patiently.

"If pedestrians pass by, there is no need to pay. All that is charged is the fee for carriages and horses! It is charged according to the distance and the weight of the goods pulled on the vehicle! If an empty carriage travels a hundred miles, it will be charged fifteen cents. If it is pulling heavy goods, it will be charged twenty

Wen! If you are transporting fresh fruits and vegetables, poultry, meat and eggs, there is no charge!"

Ying Feiyu gave a brief introduction.

This is to imitate the setting up of toll stations on highways in later generations!

In this era, a smooth cement road is equivalent to a highway in later generations!

"What? Only a dozen cents? Isn't this the same as confiscation?"

However, after hearing this, all the ministers were shocked by his remarks.

“You need to pay to cross the road, but I don’t know if people are willing to do so.”

After understanding Ying Feiyu's intention, Ying Zheng's anger suddenly disappeared.

"Of course! While Erchen is building the cement road, he will find a way to change the original winding road into a straight one. In this way, the distance between the two places can be shortened!"

"In the past, the road was bumpy and muddy, but after it is repaired, it will be smooth and smooth, and the time can be saved in half. For businessmen, time is money. Do you think they are willing to pay these ten or twenty coins, or choose to walk for free?"

The potholed dirt road?”

Ying Feiyu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Well, His Highness the Prince is right. The most important thing for a businessman is time. The sooner the goods arrive, the sooner they can be sold and made money!"

"In addition to farming, people now work in factories. Time is money. Even if they go out to visit relatives, they want to go early and come back early, and don't want to waste time! The time saved is much more than the ten or twenty coins!

"

"Yes, if you don't want to spend money, you can also take the original dirt road. People will eat horses' chews along the way, and you will waste more than the fees...!"

As soon as Ying Feiyu finished speaking, the ministers' eyes lit up and they all started talking.

Nowadays, people have almost no idle time. Even if they are not working in factories, they can go to the mountains to collect dry firewood, catch grasshoppers in the fields, or at worst, work as a newsboy. In short, there are many places to make money, and money is also available.

It's all done one at a time.

As long as you have time, you can make money in anything you do!

Isn’t the money earned in one day much more than the toll paid?

"In addition to tolls, you can also build inns far away from the villages to provide some convenient services to the people, such as food, accommodation, refreshments, feeding horses, etc. This can also make a lot of money!"

"Huh? This is a good idea!"

The old guys' eyes suddenly lit up and they saw business opportunities.

People always get tired when they are on the road, right? Then they naturally need to find a place to drink water and eat.

Even if you bring enough dry food and water, the horse still needs to eat grass, right?

It will definitely make money to open an inn in a place with no village in front and no store in the back!

"However, if you want to open this kind of inn, you must be someone who funds the road construction!"

Ying Feiyu's next words immediately strangled the hopes of the veterans in the cradle.

What good things are you thinking about?

If he takes money to build roads and asks you to open a shop to make money, then he is really being taken advantage of!

The cost of building a cement road in this era will be much higher than in later generations, but as long as it is completed, it will be a huge profit!

Nowadays, there are no vehicles that are too heavy. With just oxen and horse-drawn carriages, it is not enough to load goods into the sky.

Compared with the trailers of later generations, it is simply a world between heaven and earth!
