"Xiao Yu, I have something to tell you," Shen Bingning cheered up. It was because of this matter that she went to bed so late. She must tell her, otherwise she was afraid that she would forget it again, and this matter would also be delayed.
Impossible.
"What's the matter? Tell me," Rong Xiaoyu put his hand on her forehead. The sudden warmth made Shen Bingning yawn. She was so sleepy.
"I want to buy a piece of land. Mo Bai knows how much I want. Can I buy it?"
"Okay," Rong Xiaoyu agreed without even thinking, "You go to bed now and my husband will help you buy the land tomorrow, is that okay?"
"Okay," Shen Bingning turned over, got closer to him, and quickly fell asleep. When she woke up, it was getting brighter again, and Rong Xiaoyu also went to the palace early.
, busy again.
At noon, Shen Bingning had just finished lunch and was going to go to the shop to take a look. By the way, she also wanted to see how much money she had now. She wanted to use some of it to build roads in Jinzhou. Now that she had the materials, she was just short of money. She just
He was about to leave, but Mo Bai suddenly hurried back.
"Princess, this is what the prince gave you. He also held a small box in his hand, and he didn't know what was in it?
Shen Bingning took the box, opened it, and saw a land deed inside, covering twenty acres. It was the place where the asphalt was dug out. As expected, he remembered it. Shen Bingning put the land deed in his
On my chest, I felt that my heart was swollen and warm.
"Xiao Bai, that land now belongs to us. You and your people will put away all the black asphalt that was dug out. The more you dig out, the better. I will be useful."
"Okay," Mo Bai glanced at the land deed in Shen Bingning's hand and went to find someone without asking any more questions.
The land now belongs to them, and they can dig whatever they want.
When I dug at first, there was still a little bit of this black stuff, but the more I dug, the more it became. After just digging for a while, there were about a horse-drawn carriage.
Shen Bingning put the land deed away and took out a box from inside.
"Shuangshuang, do the math, how many taels of silver do we have now?"
Shen Shuang leaned aside and had already taken out his golden abacus and pulled it up. "Our income this month is 11,500 taels. Including last month's, it is only about 30,000 taels."
"Okay," Shen Bingning stood up. She also calculated an account. The stones, sand and soil are free, and the asphalt is free. Those who want money are the people who build the roads. There are no machines now.
It can only be repaired with manpower,
Moreover, this road cannot be repaired overnight. It will take at least three months to half a year. Her shop cannot be closed now. At least more than 20,000 taels of silver will be credited in these three months, so
That's 50,000 taels, so we can definitely build this road. As long as this road is built, things will be easier to handle in the future.
Rong Xiaoyu has already told Rong Xiaoxu about the road construction. Naturally, Rong Xiaoxu will not object. Besides, Jinzhou is Rong Xiaoyu’s fiefdom. He can do whatever he wants, not to mention
This is a major road construction event that benefits the country and the people.
Since ancient times, building bridges and paving roads has always been beneficial to the country and the people, and it is also a great good deed. What's more, the money was all paid by the King of Peking personally, and half of the silver from the court was not used. Naturally, no one would object.
The money has come, the materials are available, and even the emperor has passed it through the branch, so all their procedures have been completed and it is legal. Naturally, the sooner they leave, the better. Shen Bingning followed Rong Rong
Xiao Yu and Mo Bai got on the carriage again. In less than two months, they would go to Jinzhou for the second time.
Why should I go again? Mo Bai is so angry that he is about to vomit blood. Mo Fei can go too. Isn’t it said that we share blessings and share hardships? Why does he have to eat dirt while others are eating meat?
You will become a hero, okay? Shen Bingning played with Rong Yuxiao's fingers and said to the long-faced Mo Bai outside.
What's so good about being a hero? There's no meat to eat. Mo Bai whipped his horsewhip to drive the cart. He didn't care about heroes. He didn't even have a real meal and had to sleep in the open. He could imagine that soon.
Later, his tragic life ended.
However, this is a matter decided by his prince, and he can only obey his orders.
This time when they passed through Dezhou again, they did not stop, but went directly to Jinzhou. Jinzhou was still the same as when people came. It was like a ghost town. When the wind blew, you could still hear the signs of the teahouses being blown away by the wind.
It started shaking due to the blowing, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of anyone.
Soon, in various streets and alleys of Jinzhou, official servants who had not been out for a long time were wearing half-new clothes and posted notices in conspicuous places. Soon, the place was surrounded by people.
few people
What is written on it? Most of the people here are illiterate, so I quickly asked some who could still read.
The literate man shook his head and looked at it for a long time, and then replied in a weird official accent, "It says that the King of Peking is planning to build an official road in Jinzhou, but anyone who has the ability can sign up for twenty cents a day.
If you perform well, you can get more, and it will be paid on a daily basis, but there is only one thing, it must be necessary, and you can't be petty or lazy."
"Twenty cents is so much!" When the others heard that there was twenty cents of silver available, they all became excited. Twenty cents a day was enough for the family to live for several days, and this King of the North
He is the king of Jinzhou. He has never levied taxes on them over the years. Every year when the disaster is serious, he will use his own money to buy them rice and noodles to help them.
This is simply a living Bodhisattva in their hearts, and also their life-saver. If the king of their fief is not the King of Peking, maybe they are selling their sons and daughters now, and they will not be able to survive, so don't say whether they have it or not.
Even if they didn't have the twenty cents, they would still have to repair this road.
In a short while, hundreds of people had signed up, and by the next day there were thousands of people. Some also brought their own horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts. Of course, this animal also came with
Just like people, they also need to be given money. This was decided by Chuan Bingning. The common people should not suffer a loss, nor should the cattle and horses that the common people depend on suffer a loss. Now it seems that she herself has suffered a loss, but
, she knew that her loss was well worth it.
Because these people obviously worked hard and did not cut corners, and some even worked from morning to night. She saw this in her eyes, and of course she kept it in mind. When the checkout was completed, she would give extra
These people were given five coppers. During this time, everyone worked harder, because this was not done for the boss's employees, but for themselves. Shen Bingning thoroughly let them know what
The more you work, the more you will get, but if you don’t work hard, you will get nothing.
