Although Lao Zhang, the "Ming Qian Knife Fish", wants to eat it, but he can only make up for it after a distance of thousands of miles. At most, eat a chilled product, and the tooth sacrifice will be stopped.

This year, Wuhan will prepare a pontoon bridge on the western route, which will be used as a supplement to the new Puqi Road and the Puqi embankment after they are repaired. With the natural flow of a large number of people west of Yuezhou into the Wuhan area, the demand for communication between the north and the south is even stronger. Relying on the original ferry and Jiangxinzhou pontoon bridge alone can no longer meet the current needs.

"How much has the old ship of the Jiangxinzhou pontoon bridge been damaged in one year?"

"It's not much, it's almost not damaged, but the iron anchors have been stolen a lot. The patrol is very strong, and I can't imagine that there are still water ghosts who soak in the Yangtze River in the cold winter. Although the wealth is moving, it is really impossible to figure out how to steal such a big guy with his life. ”

"The iron anchor has been replaced, replaced with a cement one."

"I changed the cement last year, and I stole less. However, these scoundrels actually went to the ferry office to splash feces, which was simply hopeless. ”

"Did you catch it?"

"The thief ran away, it was the boss of the boat from Yongxing, and most of the rest of the boat guys were arrested. The Records Department reported to the Bureau, and observed that the embassy had been exiled before, and there was no reply from the Yamen of Xingzhongshu Province. However, in previous years, it was settled in the summer and exiled in the autumn. ”

"There is nothing important at the moment, so there will be no amnesty for the world."

"Envoy, this second pontoon bridge needs to be repaired, but I'm afraid it will cost a lot."

"It cost a lot of money to repair the bridge before, did you observe that the embassy was empty?"

"Not really, but there is still a surplus this year. However, this is because the big households have contributed money and the local government has contributed their efforts, and if there is another one in the west, the big households may not be happy. ”

"So you have to let people go to Yuezhou to run, how many people are really willing to 'give Guanfu Baling a victory'? That scenery has a fart, can it be eaten as a meal? If Yuezhou is willing to contribute labor, money is a trivial matter. At the moment, manpower is the most important, and money should not be too important. Money is only money when it is spent, so what do you do if you keep it in your hands? A handful of copper to make heirlooms and green hair can't be done? ”

During the period of great local development, the most urgent thing is how to raise money, and the same urgent thing is to spend money. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to spend the money you have quickly, in the end it will be "dead money", even if you can still mix, but it is just a mix.

"By the way, two of the people from Yuezhou are still the county lords, and they came to ask if they can sell the cement formula."

"You can sell it, but you have to sign a deed, and you have to come forward as a guarantee, and we are here, let the Governor's Office of Xingzhongshu Province come forward as a guarantee, plus the Wuhan Records Department and the Jianghan Observation Embassy."

"What do you mean by being a king?"

"The cement formula can be sold to the counties of Yuezhou, but you have to pay money to Wuhan, not only do you have to pay money, as long as the cement formula flows out of Yuezhou, or the counties buy the formula but there are people who can't get the formula, you have to fine, five times ten times. How can this money be fined? It can be specified that these should be made of cement, and the incoming and outgoing accounts will be done in the 'China Resources', and if it can't be believed, the three parties will set up a new firm to do the accounting. At that time, if the people of Yuezhou default on the contract, they will be fined directly on the account. ”

After that, Zhang De said, "Don't be afraid of cumbersome, don't be afraid of trouble, how to handle it, let's talk about it first." If you talk about it, you can talk about it. Wuhan and Yuezhou are so close that they can be said to be close neighbors, and they will be more harmonious in the future. It is said that 'distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors', we must be good neighbors, but the government can not be emotional, in the final analysis, Wuhan is not the Wuhan of the observation of the embassy, we have to point to the people to mix rice. ”

"There is a charter, and when Puqi Road was repaired before, those grain officials and grain chiefs also passed the word. After all, I want to build a cement factory in my own land, and cement is the most scarce, and I want it everywhere. They patted their chests and said that they would never spread it, but the villain first and then the gentleman, and the matter still had to be written in black and white. The people in the Records Department have a lot of favors in the official face, and they are all talking about it, and they are not afraid that the charter is too difficult, anyway, as long as they don't pass on the formula, they are not afraid of this. ”

The staff are talking about this matter, mainly because cement has been in short supply in recent years, and it was originally because of the emperor's Daxing palace, cement was mainly supplied to the royal family. The second is the Qinghai Army and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and it is the turn of the people again.

Now the emperor's palace has been repaired, and what should have been built has been built, that is, how much cement is needed for a royal cemetery.

Anyway, judging from the current progress, the only indicator of cement consumption is to make the "Golden Captain" desperate.

"Look, someone has had an idea before. You can follow the example of the 'salt and iron monopoly' and get a 'cement patent'. There is a patent department in the Observation Embassy or the Provincial Governor's Office, and the matter can be handled by the Division, which is also much more convenient. Then the patent department can specially build a ticket number, which is similar to the ticket cabinet in Chang'an West City. Anyone who wants cement in this Yuezhou should first ask the county order to come over as a guarantee, register a number with the patent department, and sign a pledge. Subsequently, anyone who wants to buy and sell cement will deposit and redeem at this ticket number. ”

When Lao Zhang heard this, he thought this was good, so he said: "This patent division, do you think it's better to be big or small?" ”

Someone obviously thought about it for a long time, so he replied directly: "In the long run, of course, it is better to be big than small." After all, cement is so in short supply, if the whole world comes to sign by registration, this money is definitely a lot, tens of thousands of yuan, hundreds of thousands of yuan, there are always it. Think about it, if you don't do anything, you have this income, how powerful should it be? It's just that it's just thinking about it. China is so big, I am afraid that there are not many people who can listen to your advice. Except for the poor countryside, that is, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, half of these boundaries cannot be harvested. ”

Speaking of this, the staff continued: "The long-term is great, but I can't see how far this long-term is. Therefore, to cope with the present, it is still 'appropriate to be small rather than big'. It's in Jingchu Province, and it's almost there. Not only should this division be small, but the scope of management should also be small. It is best to be near Wuhan, and the Tai Banxiang Party, mostly Chu people, can advance and retreat together. If you want to catch a thief and scratch the dirt, it is convenient to get close. No matter how far away, I'm afraid I can't manage it, and I don't have to listen to the call of the 'white servants'. ”

The bureaucrats are sober-minded, are patents good? Nature is good. But out of the Wuhan area, others still recognize this patent, that is, two words. Therefore, this money can be collected and earned, but it should not be spread too big, and if you can advance and retreat together with the township party in Jingxiang, you can point to the end.

And even if it is a township party, the pit people will not say that they will raise their eyebrows, but it is precisely because under the nose of Wuhan, even if someone wants to make a fortune in other places, it will be at least half a year and a year, and a total of bags of cement cannot jump out at once.

As for Yousi, which is involved in this patent, it is more like an arbiter, and the prefectures and counties near Wuhan are like joining a platform, which gives cement such a sought-after commodity. Franchisees can jump out and play a big ticket by themselves, but first of all, they must face that the income from jumping out is higher than the default, and at the same time, they must also think about whether this platform will launch a second in-demand product, and at that time, whether they are qualified to continue to play.

Lao Zhang did not instruct these bureaucrats how to do it, but these bureaucrats spontaneously perfected all this, and they were unexpectedly restrained, calm, and even able to subconsciously carry out "local huddles" for possible challenges.
