Fu Xiaoguan, who was exalted by the merchants of Wofeng City and despised by the people of Wofeng City, continued his daily life.

As government orders were issued from the Taoist government to various places on Wofeng Road, the entire Wofeng Road was running like a machine.

Time passed like this, and it was early September in the blink of an eye.

Nangong Piaoxue accepted Fu Xiaoguan's request and left Wofeng City with Su and Su, and set off back to Jinling because Dong Shulan and Yan Xiaolou would give birth in October.

Ning Yuchun wrote a letter home and asked his father, Mrs. Ning, to select about twenty young officials from the Admonition Court. They are expected to arrive in Wofeng City in early October and fill in the Inspectorate Office.

As for the road construction on Wofeng Road, craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry began to detect it on the first day of September.

"According to the plan made by the Secretariat, construction of this road will start in mid-November. The total length from Wofeng City to Jinyang is about 220 miles, of which more than 60 miles pass through Jinyang Pass. . It takes about a year to recruit 100,000 workers..."

Ning Yuchun looked at Fu Xiaoguan and said: "According to your daily salary of 20 cents for laborers, this day's wages alone will cost two thousand taels of silver. In one year... the wages will be 730,000 taels. . Including mules, cement and other miscellaneous items, the total budget of the secretariat is about four million taels of silver."

"This is just a road in Wo Prefecture. According to your plan, this road will go all the way to Lanling County... I'm afraid it will cost a full eighty million taels of silver!"

Ning Yuchun paused, rather worried, "Although the money was raised through Daoqiao shares, it is indeed the debt of Wofeng Road! The current tax revenue of Wofeng Road is not clear, but It is estimated that the annual income will not exceed tens of millions of taels of silver. Even if you set up a card to charge, a single carriage with a load of 100 miles will cost 30 cents, and a carriage with a passenger will cost 30 cents, which is a drop in the bucket. You are really not afraid of bringing down Wo Feng Road. ”

Fu Xiaoguan drank tea calmly and calmly.

"Old Ning, don't be afraid! Just wait and count the money, two years! It only takes another two years! When the road network of Wofeng Road is completed, let me tell you, the stocks of Daoqiao Co., Ltd. It will skyrocket...How much did you buy?"

Ning Yuchun glared at Fu Xiaoguan, "Bewitched by your boy, I have made a huge contribution to Wo Feng Dao and bought a hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"Sure, Lao Ning," Fu Xiaoguan chuckled and gave Ning Yuchun a thumbs up, "Do you know who bought the most?"

Ning Yuchun was startled, "You?"

Fu Xiaoguan shook his head, "I only bought 200,000 shares, but I couldn't get ranked."

"Who else?"

Fu Xiaoguan mysteriously took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Ning Yuchun. Ning Yuchun took it and took a look, and his eyes suddenly turned green!

The initial issuance of Daoqiao shares was in Shangjing, and the second issuance was in Wofeng City.

The first one is actually the eldest princess Yu Shurong!

She bought a full six million shares!

In other words, she invested six million taels of silver in Daoqiao shares!

"I say Lao Ning, there are just two of us here, just tell us why the eldest princess is so kind to you?"

"...Get out!"

It seemed that there was something in the past that he didn't want to mention again. Ning Yuchun was very annoyed. Fu Xiaoguan had asked him about it in Jinling before, but he actually mentioned it again now.

Fu Xiaoguan laughed loudly, "Who is not young yet, isn't it just a secret love? This is not a shameful thing."

Ning Yuchun felt bad all over, "Look at you, do you look like a Taoist? You are doing business! This second..."

The second person who bought Daoqiao shares turned out to be a name he had never heard of before, "Who is Wei Xu?"

"I didn't know, what the heck, Daoqiao shares were raised twice, Jinling City raised a total of 50 million taels, and Wofeng City issued 5 million shares these days, which is 55 million taels. I have saved money, so I can hurry up on the progress of the project. I don’t make a penny from the purchase of materials and cement, so that’s probably enough.”

"Old Ning, actually this is not the biggest investment."

Ning Yuchun was shocked. Seventy million taels for this guy was not the biggest investment?

Fu Xiaoguan stopped his playful smile at this moment and became serious. He stood in front of the huge map on Wo Feng Road, stretched out his hand and said:

"In the entire Wau canton, there are more than 36 million acres of fertile land and more than 13 million acres of high-quality land. Look, these fields have not been fully developed... In some places There is a lack of irrigation water, and in some places the sparse population has led to desertion..."

"For example, in Hanshi County, there is only one reservoir in the entire county, which cannot satisfy the irrigation of the fields. This has resulted in more than half of the arable land in the county being unable to be cultivated, or just relying on the weather.

There are many such places. Vaud canton has 67 counties under its jurisdiction. According to a survey by the Secretariat, roughly half of the counties have this problem."

He turned to look at Ning Yuchun, "Due to irrigation problems, Wo Prefecture's grain output has been reduced by nearly half! If we solve this problem, Wo Prefecture can truly become the largest granary of the Yu Dynasty! ”

Ning Yuchun looked carefully. He knew this problem, but this situation was common in all walks of life.

"You mean...build the reservoir?"

"How else can we do it? Water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture! Another major task in canton Vaud is to build water conservancy. This is not just about building reservoirs, but also about building irrigation canals and drainage canals in all fields. ”

"Only in this way can the output of food be guaranteed, farmers can have income, and they can farm with peace of mind!"

Ning Yuchun took a breath of cold air, how much money would this cost?

Fu Xiaoguan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can send people to investigate this matter. It is much more complicated than road construction. I am afraid that the planning alone will take a year of careful planning. But this matter If it is done, it will really be a great cause that will benefit the present and the future..."

"This is your political achievement. Whether you take it or not is entirely up to you."

Fu Xiaoguan has no intention of getting involved in this matter anymore because it takes too long. He is worried that he will leave one day. If this matter is interrupted midway, it will be a real waste of people and money.

"Actually, what happened to you is nothing compared to what happened to Yan Xibai in Qingzhou."

Ning Yuchun was startled, "What big thing is Yan Xibai doing?"

"Hey, I wrote a letter to Yan Xibai, saying that Lanling County has become the largest commodity distribution center in Wofeng Road. You have to think of ways to quickly sell those commodities to various parts of the Yu Dynasty. The Xima River outside Lanling County is good. If that river can be dug into a canal and connected directly to the Yangtze River, then the entire Wofeng Road commodity will be revitalized."

Ning Yuchun’s eyes widened...

You said that you want to dig a canal that can carry merchant ships from that river that can only wash horses?

"Is he serious?"

Fu Xiaoguan laughed loudly, "He took it seriously!"

This is crazy!
