"What? Stock? What do you mean? โ€

Cui Gengdao: "The official is going to use the money raised today to build the Sanmenxia Plank Road. Since everyone has invested money, they are naturally eligible to enjoy part of the benefits of the Sanmenxia plank road. These blank pieces of paper, stamped with the official seal, are the vouchers for obtaining that part of the income. โ€

Hahaha~~

When Yang Wulian heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Cui Zhuan, this official sees that you are poor in donkey skills, so he opened his eyes and said nonsense. Enjoy the benefits of the Sanmenxia Plank Road? How is that possible! โ€

Cui Genghao said after a while: "How is it impossible? Please also teach me Yang Tingshi? โ€

"Isn't that obvious?" Yang Wulian said: "First, in what name do you use to obtain the benefits of the Sanmenxia Plank Road?" Buying road money? Isn't that the king of the mountain? โ€

Cui Gengdao: "How about in the name of the Yamen for land and water transfer? โ€

"Still not right." Yang Wulian sneered: "Cui Zhuan's envoy wants to impeach the official for collecting taxes without authorization, why do you want to collect taxes yourself now?" โ€

"It's not a tax, it's a fee." Cui Geng explained: "If you take the Sanmenxia plank road, you will pay the money. If you don't go this way, you don't have to pay. If it's a tax, it's time to pay it no matter which way you go. The difference between this, Yang Tingshi is not difficult to understand, right? โ€

Yang Wulian thought for a moment and said, "It's still not appropriate!" Even if the nominal problem is solved, transporting four million stones of goods a year is already the limit of the Sanmenxia plank road. These transportation capacities must be left to the imperial court's transportation. Is it possible, do you still dare to collect money from the imperial court? โ€

"Of course I won't take money from the court." Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "Yang Tingshi thinks that this official is going to raise how much money this time?" โ€

"Uh...... The construction of the plank road will cost about 200,000 yuan in total. Aren't you going to raise that amount? โ€

"Of course not." Cui Geng stretched out five fingers and said, "500,000 yuan, this official wants to raise 500,000 yuan this time!" โ€

"Why?"

"Because...... The official wants to make the transportation capacity of the Sanmenxia plank road exceed four million stones and reach eight million stones! โ€

"That'...... How is that possible? The mountain is so steep that you can't double the width of the boardwalk! โ€

"Of course, this official is not that capable, but I can have a workaround, which is to lay wooden rails."

"Wooden rails?" People looked at each other, and their eyes were full of confusion.

Cui Geng sighed softly and said, "It seems that everyone doesn't know anything about what a wooden rail is." Actually, this is not a new thing, it has been in the Qin Dynasty since the time of ......"

Of course, what Cui Geng said was the truth, but everyone didn't know it, and it wasn't unheard. Because of this matter, only Cui Geng knew about it in the world.

In later generations, when people excavated archaeology, they found very unexpectedly that during the Qin and Han dynasties, people increased the amount of transportation through wooden rails in some dangerous places.

To put it simply, it is an animal pulling a cart and walking on a wooden track.

It's just that after five nonsense, this technology gradually became unknown.

Of course, wooden rails are not as good as railroad rails. First, it is easy to destroy and must be maintained frequently. Second, the transportation efficiency is much lower than that of later rails. However, in these days, iron is too expensive, and wooden rails are the only viable way. Its transportation efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary horse-drawn carriage transportation.

It turned out that when Cui Geng formulated the Cao Yun plan, he really didn't think about using such technology in Sanmenxia. Now that he was forced by Yang Wulian, he had to take an idea and put forward the concept of wooden rails.

"Wooden rails? Can you transport an extra 4 million stones a year? โ€

"Then who got the part of the Sanmenxia plank road, isn't it developed?"

"This is a wooden rail, it's clearly a golden rail!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

People listened to Cui Geng's words, and the scene was boiling.

is still the same sentence, Cui Geng's reputation is too good. If someone else says anything about "wooden rail transportation", everyone may be skeptical. However, Cui Gengyi said that no one questioned it.

That's a big deal.

Everyone understands that Chang'an, as the capital of the imperial court, has too many dignitaries and dignitaries in it, and how can you do business if you don't go to Chang'an?

However, due to the existence of Sanmenxia natural insurance, the transportation volume has been greatly limited. Even if the plank road is repaired, it can only pass through the carriage of the government. How can you not make the businessmen of the world sigh?

But now, there is an extra 4 million stones out of thin air, even if you cross Sanmenxia and don't take the Tongji Canal or Weishui, you will make a lot of money!

Whoever owns the Sanmenxia plank road has a share of the Sanmenxia plank road, so to speak, has a hardcore crop that can be passed on to future generations!

Of course, Yang Wulian also figured this out, he quickly widened his eyes, looked around, and said in a cold voice: "Although the big cake painted by Cui Zhuan's envoy is good, our people in Shaanzhou don't have much money, I'm afraid we won't be able to take out much money to buy shares!" If you don't believe me, ask them......"

Cui Geng snorted lightly and said, "Yang Tingshi, are you trying to bully people and prevent everyone from buying the official's stock?" โ€

Yang Wulian shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Whatever Cui Jingzhao thinks." All in all, I'm afraid you can't sell this box of stocks. โ€

"Oh? Is it? Not really. Cui Geng said to the representatives present: "Just now, the official forgot to tell you something, these stocks are not bearer. In other words, the transfer of the official made the yamen recognize the stock but not the person. How do you buy stocks, think about yourself, haha! โ€

"Huh?"

When Yang Wulian heard this, his face couldn't help but change suddenly!

Shares are bearer, i.e. they are tradable. That's not easy, you can warn the rich, but you can't warn everyone.

If someone buys Cui Geng's stock, how can he stop it? Can you stop it? That's right. This Ling Yin can be destroyed, but there are also a lot of outlaws in Shaanzhou!

Perhaps, there are rich people who buy stocks in the hands of those outlaws at high prices through their subordinates, and there are many people, can they monitor it themselves?

Moreover, now that Cui Geng is in charge of Shaanzhou, he doesn't dare to go too far!

For a while, Yang Wulian was drenched in cold sweat on his forehead, and he had no countermeasures.

However, what made him even more embarrassed was still to come.

Suddenly, an extremely rough voice sounded outside the courtyard, saying, "Why bother so much, isn't it just 500,000 yuan?" My surname Cheng's bag is up! What are others afraid of, Yang Wulian, I'm not afraid! โ€

"Eh, Brother Cheng, you're not kind! This kind of good thing, don't swallow it alone, we have a share in it! โ€

"What's the point? I was blinded by lard at the beginning, offended Cui Zhuan, and I wanted to atone for my sins, everyone don't fight, these stocks are all mine! โ€

"you, just think about good things."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

With a chaotic quarrel, a group of people dressed in red and scarlet walked into the courtyard.
