The next day, Zhang Nan got up at Cui Yue's urging, Cui Yue personally sorted out Zhang Nan's clothes, and then looked at Zhang Nan with an expectant look, Zhang Nan also hugged Cui Yue's waist and said: "Don't worry, the position of this household secretary must be the old man's father-in-law, and it will be handed over to someone else to do, and the emperor is not at ease, so you can rest assured, it is a matter of time before the official is reinstated." ”

Cui Yue also nodded seriously after hearing this.

"Okay, I'll go, I'll come back for dinner at noon." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he left the mansion and rode the carriage towards the palace.

"Okay, let's continue with yesterday's events." As soon as Lao Li sat on the dragon chair, he saw Zhang Nan standing next to the pillar, and immediately knew what Zhang Nan's idea was.

But Lao Li will not let Cui Shaoguan reinstate so easily, and change the order every day, which is a big taboo.

"Continue to talk about this road construction, just like yesterday, I will immediately spread my will, and let the state capitals raise money to build the road." Lao Li said.

"Your Majesty, this ...... If the national treasury allocates funds, this road can be repaired, but if it is necessary for local state capitals to raise money, it may cause public resentment. The eldest grandson Wuji also said with a difficult face.

If it is forcibly recruited, then Datang's efforts in the past few years will be in vain.

But now Lao Li is ready to send an arrow, yesterday after the next dynasty Lao Li sent someone to the imperial study to give him a detailed calculation, the result is the same as Cui Shao said, if you really sprinkle all the money, then the treasury is empty, the treasury is empty, all the appropriations and repairs in all places will be stopped.

In short, it is one word "difficult".

But no matter how difficult it is, Lao Li is also difficult to ride a tiger now, yesterday he had already dismissed Cui Shao for the matter of building a road, and if he didn't repair this road today, Lao Li's face would probably be lost.

"Qingquan, what do you think about this matter?" Lao Li opened his mouth and asked, although Lao Li knew that Zhang Nan came today to intercede for Cui Shao, but Lao Li still wanted to hear Zhang Nan's opinion.

"Repair, why don't you repair? If you want to get rich, build roads first, this sentence has already been told to the emperor, and now the ministers feel that it is too late. Zhang Nan said with a look of course.

If Cui Shao was present at this time, he would definitely rush up to hammer Zhang Nan, but unfortunately Cui Shao was not there.

But Cui Shao is not here, and the affairs of this treasury are not child's play, and they can't be messed around.

"Then dare to ask Lord Zhang, what should I do if this treasury is empty." The eldest grandson Wuji is now also acting as Cui Shao's responsibility.

"Let's not be so brainless, why do we want to build a large number of construction projects across the country at one time? Can't you be a little more flexible? Let's first repair the state capital closest to Chang'an City, and then slowly radiate to each state capital as the central point, so that's right, otherwise the two state capitals will start to repair at the same time, what if they can't go together? Zhang Nan also said with a smile.

"In this way, after the roads from Chang'an City to the major state capitals are repaired, we can set up toll stations and collect road maintenance fees." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Although Zhang Nan didn't like this method very much, from the perspective of the people, it was cheating people, but this was indeed the best and fastest way to recover blood.

Zhang Nan also thought very clearly, after the road returned to the original, the next thing was to collect road maintenance fees from those who ran horses on the road.

"What does this toll booth mean?" Although Lao Li went to Hyundai, Zhang Nan didn't take Lao Li out of the province at all, so Lao Li didn't know what this toll station was.

"That is, we can roughly calculate how long the cement road from Chang'an to a certain state capital is, if you want to run a carriage on it, you have to get a pass before you get on the road, and you have to pay when you get to the toll station, if you don't pay the fee, you can't continue to run down, of course, if you don't want to pay this money, it's okay to take the old road." Zhang Nan said.

As soon as Lao Li heard Zhang Nan's method, his eyes lit up, this is not a mandatory charge to the people, and only the money for horse-drawn carts and ox carts is collected, which can make the people on foot also accept this thing.

What's more, it is not forced to run on the smooth cement road, if you don't want to pay the money, then you can go to the old road.

That's the smartest part.

Generally speaking, the carriage is used to travel or pull goods, and the largest group of people are merchants, who must be willing to choose the spacious cement road.

The first reason is fast, and the second reason is safety.

The cement road was built by the imperial court, that is, the official road, no matter how bold the thieves are, they do not dare to rob money on the official road, which seems to be the safest way to travel.

Ordinary businessmen travel, in addition to the necessary goods, will still bring a lot of money just in case.

Therefore, Zhang Nan's move can be regarded as counting all the money into the businessman's head.

"Yes, yes, this toll booth has a good method." Lao Li exclaimed.

"And what is the road maintenance fee?" Lao Li asked curiously.

"This is levied on units and individuals with cars for cement road maintenance, repair, technical transformation, improvement and management of special business fees. To put it simply, this tax is levied on all those who have a carriage, and this tax is not heavy, of course, for those who can use the carriage. Zhang Nan said.

"This tax is national, so your majesty also has to pay taxes." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"This is natural, when the road is repaired and I walk on the cement road, I will pay a lot of money." Lao Li nodded and said.

Zhang Nan counted the money to the official family so neatly, in addition to the aristocratic class in the Tang Dynasty, the people who have horses are pitiful, so this money can't be collected from the people.

After the road is opened, it will also accelerate the commercial development of various places, so that the money and goods of the state capitals will flow in Datang, and the more it flows, the more abundant the treasury of Datang will be.

After solving this matter, Zhang Nan was also relieved, and finally fooled Lao Li.

"Your Majesty, since the matter of this money has been resolved, the position of this household secretary ......"

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Zhang Nan say that the household is still the book, Comrade Li's face fell.

"Cui Shao will rest for a while, his vision as a household secretary is too short, if he can be like Qingquan you, I don't have to bother so much."

"Then the location control of this household book is not good." Zhang Nan really wants to reinstate his father-in-law.

"It won't be empty, you can sit in the position of the head of the household during the road construction."
