"That's it!"

After listening to Zhao Hongrun's explanation of the true purpose of this feast, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the Marquis of Anping, and others could not hide the joy in their hearts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Don't look at Zhao Hongrun's conditions for them to be quite harsh - he asked Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, and others to scrape together enough funds to build a road from Fenyin to Daliang, but after the road was completed, he only gave Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, the right to use, and as for the ownership, it still belonged to him Zhao Hongrun.

But even so, it made Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, happy.

Railroad carriage, horse-drawn carriage that travels hundreds of miles a day, what is this concept? It's flying at a speed that's faster than the waterway!

From a national point of view, once this road is completed, if the Fenyin area becomes the front line of the battlefield, the imperial court can transport a large number of strategic materials and soldiers to the front line at an incredible speed; For Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and others, this road is a more convenient and faster road transportation route than waterways.

Unless it was during the war, the imperial court temporarily requisitioned this direct official road, otherwise, this official road is bound to become the most convenient road from Hedong to Daliang in the future.

What's more, this road is monopolized by them - only the Suwang Party and the forces close to the Suwang Party can use this official road, and in addition, like the Marquis of Yuanling and the Marquis of Humu Sun Mu, their caravans will be excluded.

Let's ask, when the transport carriages of the Suwang Party were continuously hauling goods at a speed of 100 miles a day on the straight track, the caravans under their names, such as the Marquis of Yuanling and the Marquis of Humu Sun Mou, who were not dealing with Zhao Hongrun, were forced to slowly drive at the speed of a turtle crawling on the bumpy road, and the trade profits of the two were equal?

Fools can see the staggering profits.

Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, can even foresee that even if Uncle Hou Yu of Yuanling and others loot the same specialties as them in the land of Hexi in the future, such as cattle and sheep, they can quickly transport them directly to China through this road, but Uncle Hou of Yuanling and others will have to spend ten times or even dozens of times the time and manpower to transport the wealth of cattle and sheep back to China, the so-called shopping mall is like a battlefield, and when the Hou of Yuanling and others transport those goods back to China, the domestic market may be filled with the goods brought back by Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and others from Hexi. At that time, will there be a place for the Marquis of Yuan Ling and others in the domestic market?

"It is rumored that His Royal Highness King Su has clear grievances and has his own retribution, and this statement is true......

Looking at the map of the Hedong area in his hand, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, muttered secretly in his heart.

Because in this map, the main path route of the official road "Fenyin to Daliang" is drawn, including several counties in the west of Hedong County, including Beiqu, Pishi, Fenyin, Puban, and Anyi, but the "Xie County" is omitted, so that this county is lonely and excluded from the route of this road, which is not pitiful.

You don't have to think about it to know that this is obviously the revenge of this King Su against Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu and others.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, once again felt a little proud and fortunate about his judgment of decisively surrendering to His Royal Highness King Su at that time, and he knew that it was definitely not a wise thing to be an enemy of His Royal Highness King Su.

No, Uncle Yuanling Hou and the others may still be complacent about getting the 'Xie County', but they don't know that a certain His Royal Highness King Su has stuck the thing they need the most - transportation.

Of course, for this matter, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, and others are naturally happy to see it, after all, the fat meat in the land of Hexi can't stand too many people who want to share the meat to eat, and if others earn less, they will naturally earn more.

After discussing it, the five great nobles of Zhao Wenshen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, Lu Xin, the marquis of Gaoxian, the prince Sun Che of Lutan, and Zhao Kang, the marquis of Liuguang, agreed to donate and were willing to pay for the investment.

They are not stupid, although they know that the huge cost of building an official road from Fenyin to Daliang may cost them twenty or thirty years of wealth accumulation, but they also know that after the completion of this road, they will be able to recover the cost in a very short time, and then begin to accumulate wealth quickly at a speed that makes people blush.

What's more, after they join this program, they can also get the right to use three other direct official roads.

The city of Sanchuan, the border city of Qi County in the east of Hedong, and the most prosperous Shangshui County in the feudal province of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, are the most prosperous commercial cities in the Wei trade at present, and at least seventy percent of the merchants of the Wei State are traveling back and forth between these three places.

It is conceivable that the importance of these three direct official roads.

On the Sichuan side, Amutu of the Qingyang tribe, Halegoh of the Baiyang tribe, and Lubaron of the Lun tribe also expressed their willingness to undertake the construction of the direct official road from the city to Daliang.

In the past few years, the tribes in the alliance have become very rich through the profits from the sale of furs, cattle and sheep to the Wei State, even the small tribesmen who were once poor and destitute have now begun to wear gold and silver, wear silk and brocade clothes, walk in the city with their heads held high, sometimes pick a few strings of fine pearls for their women, sometimes buy some valuable bronze vessels, and so on.

Because of the wealth, the luxury goods of the past, such as pearls, gold jewelry, jade, bronze, and lacquerware, are now purchased by the people of Sanchuan without even blinking their eyes.

As long as the Wei-Sichuan alliance is still stable, the people of Sanchuan will not worry about returning to the days of poverty, and in this case, Zhao Hongrun proposed to build an official road from the city to Daliang, which is exactly what the Sichuan-Sichuan alliance desires the most.

After all, the current trade road, whether it is through Chenggao Pass or Yishan in the south, the road is quite bumpy, especially the sand dunes near Bolangsha, I don't know how many merchants have cursed.

If the road from Luocheng to Daliang becomes smooth and smooth, then it is obvious that the annual trade volume between the two sides will also increase sharply, and the profits of both sides will also increase greatly.

That's a win-win in itself.

As for their own wholly-owned contributions, these leaders of the Sichuan Alliance don't care.

Thinking about it, Amutu, the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, is Una's biological father, and Lu Balon, the patriarch of the Lun tribe, is Zhao Hongrun's confidant, not to mention that the patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halegohe, is also happy to see the construction of a direct official road, even if he opposes it, it will be useless.

After all, the people of Sichuan have great respect for Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who gave them a rich life.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Luocheng, Zhao Hongrun's words are more effective than the notice of the imperial court.

After all, it was His Royal Highness King Su who used force and wealth to impress the body and mind of the Sichuan people.

Immediately, the representative of the "Waihuang Sun Clan", Sun Zi, the uncle of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and Shen Xu, the brother of Shen Shufei, also agreed to raise funds from both sides to support the Ministry of Industry in the construction of the official road "Daliang directly leads to Shanyang".

Of course, it is said that "Daliang leads directly to Shanyang", but in fact, this route also includes Tianmen about Tianmen Mine, as well as the current Qixian border city.

As for the last official road of "Daliang directly to Shangshui", it was raised by the Anling Zhao clan and the Shangshui Yangyu clan of the third uncle Zhao Laiyu.

I have to say that in today's feast, Zhao Hongrun easily raised a huge amount of money to build four official roads at the same time without spending any money.

After that, everyone in the room began to discuss specific matters.

There are many things to discuss, for example, how to take revenge on the local forces that suppressed the "Su Chamber of Commerce" a while ago and caused the Su Chamber of Commerce to suffer huge losses.

Zhao Hongrun is not generous to the point of smiling and hating, and it is his character to repay the favor - since those local magnates chose to side with Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu and others, and caused huge losses to the 'Su Chamber of Commerce', then don't blame him for being polite.

Seizing the market, this is the first step that Zhao Hongrun used to suppress the local powerful aristocrats.

After all, in the last confrontation, the local tycoons rebelled against the imperial court by stopping the sale of grain to the local market and raising the price of rice, which caused some commotion among the local people.

This move made Zhao Hongrun feel extremely annoyed, so he was ready to fight a price war with those local giants and seize the market by reducing transportation costs.

As for whether those local tyrants will make unwise moves in the event of losing the economic war, Zhao Hongrun is not worried, after all, the more than 100,000 troops under his command are not decorations.

Having said that, in this matter, the 'Waihuang Sun Clan' actually has no conflict with the local Haoqiang, but after thinking about it, Sun Zi, the uncle of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, finally decided to stand with the Su Wang family - he knows very well that the official road of 'Daliang to Shanyang' is essentially the goodwill given to them by Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, even if there is no 'Waihuang Sun clan', like Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and several patriarchs of Yucheng, in fact, if they get together, they still have the ability to raise money for an official road.

In the final analysis, it was because of the relationship between his nephew Zhao Hongjiang, King of Yan - because during the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, the relationship between Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, became extremely good, so Zhao Hongrun would give him a part of this road to the "Waihuang Sun Clan".

This is goodwill.

Since this is the case, Sun Zi naturally wants to give a reward: advance and retreat with the Suwang Party.

That night, everyone went home happy.

And the next day, Zhao Hongrun personally came to the Ganlu Hall and told his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, about the incident.

After hearing that Zhao Hongrun had raised a huge amount of money to build four official roads at the same time, Wei Tianzi blinked dryly, quite dumbfounded.

Although Wei Tianzi also heard that this son had a big banquet at the palace last night, and he was more or less aware of Zhao Hongrun's purpose in inviting those people, in all fairness, Wei Tianzi really didn't expect this son to raise such a huge amount of money so easily.

And after listening to Zhao Hongrun's specific story, especially the rail carriage, Wei Tianzi's eyes flashed a few gleams.

Of course, he understood the meaning behind the carriage that traveled hundreds of miles a day, which meant that once the Wei State went to war, the Wei army could continuously transport troops and strategic material resources to the front line through these four official routes.

Especially in the future, the Wei State will go to Linhu in the Hetao area, and the existence of the rail carriage will inevitably allow the Wei State to seize the opportunity.

The only problem is......

"You...... Too obvious, right? ”

Looking at the "Xie County" that was isolated on the paper of the direct official road map handed over by Zhao Hongrun, Wei Tianzi was quite a little crying and laughing.

But in the end, Wei Tianzi still approved the matter.

In just half a day, this matter spread throughout the DPRK and China, and when it was learned that the Su King Zhao Hongrun had scraped together enough funds to build four official roads at the same time, and the Ministry of Industry was preparing to officially start construction in early February, the DPRK and China discussed a lot.

And Qingwang Hongxin and Xiangwang Hongjing were even more dumbfounded: the eighth child really put aside the household department and raised enough funds by himself.
