Chapter 373 The road is completed
For Yang Heng, he did not lack this amount of money, but the establishment of this bridge made several boatmen who made a living by ferrying unemployed, which was one of the reasons why Yang Heng added the bridge fee.
At first, Yang Heng planned to charge for heavy-duty vehicles walking on the road.
During that hunting, Yang Heng was attacked by a pack of wolves, and finally it was confirmed that it was the pack of wolves that were lured by others. Even the scouts quickly confirmed that the person who presided over the seduction of wolves was a prairie wolf thief. So when Yang Heng sent the children back to the city, he quickly found the wolf thief's nest and caught them all. This time he seized all the looting of the wolf thieves on the grasslands over the past year.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Heng wanted to get a look at the melons, but some people who were contacted by the grassland wolf were killed and silenced. Similarly, Yang Heng seized a lot of treasures from these people, and the money from a road came out. The most hateful thing was that Li Er actually asked Yang Hengxi to charge for the road he built.
This did not affect anyone's income. If it were to say that it only affected the income of the court's post station. However, it affected the post station, but instead reduced the court's investment in post stations, which was a good thing for the court.
The charge for crossing the bridge is set by Yang Heng. It is like this: one person is one copper plate at a time. The vehicle is five copper plates. If they are locals, they still need monthly tickets. Of course, they are those who cross the river and farm. This has to be treated differently. After statistics from County Chief Li, he issued a card to some people. This is free card. They just need to hang it around their necks. In fact, it doesn’t matter if they don’t hang it. As the charging personnel, they all know these people. In the moment, the effect is not bad, especially the businessmen who cross the bridge. They really don’t care about these money, but it’s just these money. They feed a few people who were originally ferrying and a few people who maintain the bridge. Yang Heng didn’t even get a copper plate, which is purely doing good deeds.
However, Yang Heng did not regret his investment. Although the money was not invested, it was all compensated by the seized things. However, the manual was still produced by himself, but Yang Heng did not only invest in the construction of this road. He also had his own profits. He was in Shuofang's products, which could be connected to the grassland and Chang'an at the fastest speed through this road. This road was even directly connected to one of the northern gates of Chang'an City, Guanghua Gate, which was also specially requested by Li Er. Originally, Yang Heng wanted to let this road pass through the western wall of Chang'an City and enter through the Golden Light Gate. I wonder what Li Er thought.
Along the way, we passed twelve iron bridges, which is the longest iron bridge near Shuofang. The other iron bridges are fixed on both sides of the river and then riveted angle steel. This is what happened. Of course, there are some smaller rivers. Yang Heng used stone bridges. This single-hole stone bridge basically does not have much technical content. You can just find a technician to direct the construction of the bridge. There are even several porous stone bridges, which are dry rivers, that is, when it rains, there will be large water flows, and most of the time, they are small streams.
…………
"Learn from literature, I heard that your road was built?" Li Er just built the bridge in time, and then he asked someone to call Yang Heng into the palace.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Chi Dao has been built. The Chi Dao is nearly a thousand miles long and has a width of more than 30 feet (more than eight meters wide). I have used more than 500 people to build it together. At the most, it can even reach more than 1,000 people. More than 100 carriages have been purchased, and more than 1,000 carriages have been used up this year."
"Boy, this is not right. You invested more than 100 carriages in total, how could it break more than 1,000 cars?" "By your Majesty, I am not lying. The so-called broken ones are not thrown away when they are broken, but repairing them while they are broken. On average, four times a day are needed. Even every mile, one carriage will be damaged. But here I want to thank the person who made the bad things last year. He provided me with enough funds. Otherwise, this road is likely to be smashed before crossing the Yellow River. Why? It consumes too much. It was because I didn't calculate it well at the beginning, and it felt a bit natural."
Naturally, there is something that Yang Heng didn't say, that is, people in this era are really working hard. In Yang Heng's previous life, he used heavy machinery and no one was used. As a result, the construction speed was only a few miles a day or even one mile. Yang Heng used the construction at the same time in segments, but the only slowness was that he was waiting for cement.
There is another favorable condition, that is, there are many rivers, and there are many rivers. The sand does not require long-distance transportation, and even the stones do not need to be made by someone. The sand is directly fished out from the river, and there are some big stones and fine sand that can be used to build roads. Perhaps for Yang Heng, a fool is lucky. You must know that cement is nothing, sand is nothing, but stones are a troublesome thing, which requires a large power to break. Even Yang Heng was at the beginning of the road construction.
He had never considered this. When he opened it, it was a little late, but he suddenly found that the mixing amount of stones and sand in the river was just right, which was solved by a problem. In Yang Heng's previous life, he was something he didn't even think about. If there was such a good thing, I wonder how much money the road builder would earn. At this time, Yang Heng was worried about the gravel used for building railways. Although he did not use cement, the amount of stones had increased greatly, and I don't know how my uncle solved it.
"What are you thinking about when I learn literature? I asked you, you didn't hear it." Perhaps, Li Er was also happy. It was not simple. A cement road worth nearly a thousand miles was built when the court had no idea. This road was built. Li Er also collected enough taxes and some cities could be reinforced.
"Ah, that Majesty, I'm a little tired." A good excuse, Yang Heng was not worried about Li Er's punishment for his crime. "Well, if you are tired, go back and rest. All celebrations will be cancelled. Don't be on the verge of the storm."
Indeed, Yang Heng heard some different voices, mainly for the charges for crossing the bridge, but those who had different opinions were just talking behind their backs. They really didn't dare to say it in public. If it were a bridge alone, then Yang Heng would have been completely defeated. But there was such a long road here, and there was no sound. Just when Yang Heng was building this road, some officials were also doing construction at home, just at home.
They paved some corridors in the yard with cement. Similarly, they also knew the trouble of building roads, and even spent a lot of money. Although some people also said that Yang Heng seized the money of the horse bandits on the grassland, it was not in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it was not in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Even if it was captured by Yang Heng, no one would rob him, right? You know, there are still many bandits in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. If anyone envies them, then you can seize the money of the bandits.
Another saying is that if you use the story of Zigong to redeem people, it will naturally rise to the saint's remarks. Some people still won't make it. If they make it, they will deny the saint's statement. Then there will be a series of debates. It is certain that they will lose it. Therefore, a bad thing is strangled to death by themselves before they can make it.
"Your Majesty, I will give up." Naturally, Yang Heng has made a contribution, which requires Li Er to remember in his heart. Now, although his vineyard has not yet been harvested within a few years, cotton will be picked recently, and then it is said that it is huge profits. Perhaps this year during the Chinese New Year, Yang Heng will pay back all his debts. By next year, he will just wait to count the money. This is the benefit of being a time traveler. Spending money is also a lot of money, and making money is also a lot of money.
Even saying that spending money is to spend money, and earning money is to grab money. Who can do such a thing? Only time travelers are not even in line with economic laws, and there is no fixed pattern to get stuck.
"How about it, my husband, is it that my father is going to attend the celebration ceremony together?" "I won't attend, the celebration ceremony is cancelled. Your Majesty warned me that after the repair of this road, it is finished. It's better for me to be invisible, otherwise there will be some trouble."
"Oh, then okay." Changle and Yu Zhang were a little disappointed. Their celebration was originally paid for by them. You must know that this road was the most beneficial to them. You must know that their most profitable industries were transported through this road. Especially the transportation of their goods, although the speed of 800 miles of speed is not as fast as 800 miles, the speed of 300 miles can be achieved, and they can even be stopped day and night. However, they need to have their separate post station on the road. Of course, this is not the court post station, but a horse-raising yard attached to a horse-raising yard near the post station. Whenever there is cargo transportation, they pass through their post station to exchange horses or even horse-drawn carriages. Each batch of goods will not be transported from Shuofang to Chang'an for more than three days, but it is not possible to go to other places. However, they do not want to transport the goods to other places, and they are approved in Chang'an City.
