"Old Yan! For the sake of my friendship with your brother, I will tell you an explanation. There is a way to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, you now have a lot of resources in your hands, you are holding a golden rice bowl to ask for food! Jingwen said.

Yan Liben obviously didn't know, and said, "What is a golden rice bowl? Where did I get my golden job? ”

"You have a golden job in your hand, you don't know, if you live in a different era, I'm afraid that countless people will have to bribe you with money, and when the time comes, you will be soft on the money. But now you're asking me for money, and this has to be said to be your problem. Jingwen said.

"My Yan family has always been fair and honest, and I will never take more money. You asked me to accept bribes? This is impossible, and the bribes are not enough to build so many roads! Yan Liben said angrily.

Jingwen immediately made a reassuring gesture to calm Yan Liben down.

"Brother Yan, you have the right to be responsible for the construction of the highway in your hands, and this is a very big mountain of gold. As you just said, you can borrow money from those who have money. But because of your repayment period, and for other reasons, then you may be slow to repay. But I have a plan that can make many people invest in this highway, and they don't want the court to pay back, or even rush to invest! Jingwen said.

"Oh? Are there such fools? Yan Liben asked in surprise.

Jingwen said with a smile: "As long as the benefits are enough, countless people rush to be fools." And the so-called doing things, spending other people's money, and doing your own things, this is the highest level of doing things. And now you have to spend other people's money and do your own thing, this is a high-end and high-grade thing. ”

"When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he built the Grand Canal, but the result was that the treasury paid for it himself. It's good now, the Sui Dynasty was dragged down, they became the predecessors to plant trees, and our Tang Dynasty is the descendants to take advantage of the cold. So. We can't do this kind of thing that our predecessors planted trees and our descendants enjoyed the shade! Since we can't pay all of our own money, then we have to get money from those who have it. But others are not stupid, so they naturally will not put money into a bottomless pit for no reason. We can only tempt them with benefits so that we can get a lot of money to invest. Jingwen said.

"So how can we come up with any benefits?" Yan Liben asked.

Jingwen had to sigh that the ancient officials really couldn't compare with the officials of later generations in terms of thinking. If a road is built in the future, then I am afraid that many people will rush to repair it, and even if they do not cut corners, many people will rush to sponsor it. The benefits of a highway are huge. Let's not talk about being able to do a good job with the government. In terms of income, it is also a sure way to make a profit. Although the investment is huge, it is at least a stable income, and the probability of losing money is very low. This is a hedging investment, and it can gain the favor of local officials, which will be of great help to you to enter other industries.

"We can set up a card toll on the highway again!" Jingwen said.

"Charge for setting up a card? Can I pay for walking? Yan Liben asked with some confusion.

Yan Liben obviously couldn't have thought that the highway could still be charged, what was the difference between this and the road robbery?

Jingwen immediately said: "Of course you can!" Doesn't it cost us money to build roads? Of course, there will be profits. Usually from Luoyang, Chang'an Road, it takes so many days to walk. Now once the road is built, the merchant can make a lot more money. Normally, you can only do one business at the same time. And now I can go back and forth twice, which is a great economic benefit! Moreover, the road is smooth, and the loss of materials is also reduced. Wouldn't the cost of hiring people be lowered? You see it this way. Our court has built roads, and the benefits have been earned by merchants, so why should we build roads for no reason? Can our court not charge a fee? Even if we charge for a tenth of the value of the goods, it will still be profitable. ”

"As for finding someone to invest in. This is not a difficult task. As long as we sue this charging plan, won't it attract a lot of rich dogs to come? When the time comes, our court can get fifty percent of the benefits. And the investor can get the other fifty percent. Jingwen said.

Yan Liben was a little shocked, there was still this way to play. If you follow Jingwen's statement, then I'm afraid there are really people who are willing to invest. Even if it is a road toll, many businessmen are willing to pay 10% of the value of the goods as "road money", because the money earned back by taking an extra trip to business is probably more than that. What's more, these costs can also be saved from the people hired, so don't you make more money? It's a mutually beneficial thing, and they're definitely willing to pay for it.

And Yan Liben now finally knows why Jingwen was able to mix up to today. That's all because Jingwen has a lot of ideas, and it's difficult for others, but when it comes to Jingwen, it seems to be very easy. Therefore, the emperor is probably inseparable from Jingwen's brain.

"If Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal and also collected fees, then I am afraid that many people would be willing to invest. And at that time, the Sui Dynasty will not only not invest countless bottomless pits for this, but will be able to obtain a large amount of income, so that the treasury will become more and more full. Therefore, this fee is a great benefit, and the emperor should not object to it. Think about it, if you can build such a good road without spending a penny, will the emperor, an old man, still oppose it? Jingwen said.

Yan Liben Waterfall Khan, Jingwen actually said in front of him that the emperor was an "old man", this is a big suspicion of disrespect!

"Don't listen to incivility, don't listen to incivility! I, Yan Liben, didn't hear anything! I really didn't hear anything! Yan Li thought in his heart.

And Yan Liben immediately asked: "Jingwen Jiedu Envoy, since this method has come up with you, then please can you help me draw up a plan, so that I can also report to Shangshu Province!" This kind of thing, please Jingwen Jie Du to make you think of a way together! ”

Because this kind of thing is too surprising, Yan Liben, an ancient, didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he wanted to pull Jingwen into the water together. And Jingwen is the emperor's favorite minister, so naturally there is no big problem. And when the time comes, it will be Yan Liben, the person in charge, who will have the greatest credit, and Jingwen will become Yang Bailao, who came up with the idea. However, Yan Liben is also confident that since Jingwen said it so well, he should definitely invest. When the time comes, it's okay to let Jingwen invest more, anyway, there will be benefits!
