770: C770 High Speed Tollbooth

C770 High Speed Tollbooth

Ye Tian's face lit up as he quickly calculated in his mind. Then he said with a smile: "It has only been 15 days and the entire project is completed?"

At this point, Ye Tian deliberately pulled back his face, poking Duan Mulee with his finger: "You didn't cheat, right?"

Duan Mulee was a bit frightened by his words. He immediately said: "Your excellency is a Divine Craftsman and can be examined personally. If there are any complaints of cheating, I will reject them with my life."

Waving his hand, Ye Tian said: "It's not that serious. That's fine, let's go take a look now? "

Ji Yanwenn said, "The three of us are here to ask the lord to check the engineering situation."

Ye Tian waved his hand again and said loudly: "Prepare the horse."

An hour later, Ye Tian's group of four arrived at the southern gate of the capital. Not far from the southern city gate, a huge square hole had been carved out on the city wall. Inside the square hole, there was a straight and flat huge stone road.

As there was no cement in the world, all the roads were paved with huge rocks. However, the carving and polishing techniques of the huge rocks were already very mature, so the official road appeared to be very smooth.

In Ye Tian's opinion, getting cement, steel bars and concrete right now was a bit too early. Moreover, these boulders were harvested from a specialized stone field. They were of a very hard texture. Regardless of whether it was the resistance to temperature or the toughness to pressure, they were all very strong.

Using these polished boulders to build roads is currently the most cost-effective solution.

At this time, Ye Tian came before the square hole. He looked at the straight road, which extended all the way to the Long Distance Bus Station in the capital, and then directly extended all the way to the Jadebelt River in the distance.

A huge bridge had already been built out of thin air just above the Jadebelt River. Compared to the ordinary bridge that was relatively narrower than the previous one, it formed a very clear contrast.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Tian sighed in satisfaction, "Finally, I look better."

In truth, the materials and science of this world were far behind, but the craftsmanship had already reached a high level.

At the same time, Ye Tian was also very surprised that Ji Yanwenn and his men could complete the Jingjin Superhighway in such a short amount of time.

Especially since the bridge in front of him was very close to the ones in his previous life, Ye Tian really couldn't imagine how Duan Mulee could complete the bridge in such a short period of time.

With this question in mind, Ye Tian turned around and looked at Duan Mulee as he said, "Senior Duan, to be able to finish this bridge project in such a short period of time is truly not simple at all."

Duan Mulee chuckled. To be honest, the West Bridge outside the capital was also one of his masterpieces. Duan Mulee said, "My lord, it would be extremely difficult for me to build this bridge by myself. "This is all thanks to Your Excellency Ye. In terms of merit, my lord is at the top."

Hearing Duan Mulee's words, Ye Tian was stunned for a moment before he asked in bewilderment, "I didn't participate in this project, how did it become my credit?"

Ji Yanwenn said: "Originally, it was impossible for this bridge to be completed in such a short period of time. The only reason it could be done was because of the Royal Labor Union's large scale construction machinery. "Without those huge excavators, cranes, pilers and bulldozers, the work would never have been done."

Hu Fuzhen continued, "Not only is this the bridge, the entire Jingjin Expressway is all thanks to the help of Lord Ruan. The three of us will remember this favor."

Only then did Ye Tian react, he said with his mouth half open: "So it was Ruan Ji who helped."

At this point, Ye Tian nodded his head and continued, "In that case, if this highway can be used for special work, then Ruan Ji also has a contribution. Later, you two can calculate it and also get his share of the rewards."

Ji Yanwenn smiled and said: "Of course, of course."

But soon, Ye Tian thought of another problem.

After a brief moment of consideration, Ye Tian asked again, "How much did the large-scale construction machinery given by Ruan Ji cost?"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Ji Yanwenn forced a smile and said, "These large-scale engineering machines have a lot of power and efficiency, so they are very popular in Beijing's industrial and mining companies. That's why the price is naturally higher. We also begged Lord Ruan for a long time before he finally decided to let us all the machines. "

Ye Tian continued to ask: "How much is the daily rent?"

Ji Yanwenn extended a finger and pointed at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian glared and said: "One thousand silver taels a day? This Ruan Ji is too evil. "

This time, it was Ji Yanwenn's turn to glare at them. He said, "Sir, you have underestimated Ruan Ji. These construction machines, the daily rent for each is 10,000 taels of silver. We have rented seven of them in total, and we have to pay Ruan Ji 70,000 silver per day. "

Hearing Ji Yanwenn's words, Ye Tian's face alternated between red and green, white and pink.

After a long while, Ye Tian nodded and said: "Oh, 70,000 taels per day. Very good, very good."

After saying so, Ye Tian thought to himself, Ruan Ji is actually so unscrupulous to this extent. This was simply like his previous life. As long as it was a project invested by the government, the contractor would immediately ask for a higher price.

But on the other hand, Ye Tian was also very satisfied with Ruan Ji's actions. No matter how expensive the rent was, in the end, it was transferred back to Royal Labor Union. To a certain extent, Ye Tian transferred all the money in the national treasury to Imperial Household Department.

After pausing for a moment, Hu Fuzhen looked at Ye Tian's face carefully, then said: "Sir, the Jingjin Highway is about to open up soon, and the Long Distance Bus Station of the two locations are already under the control of the Royal Cars and Horses Shop, but this subject still wants to confirm, are there any charges for this highway?"

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment before he started to admire Hu Fuzhen's business sense of smell.

With such a high grade highway, I'm afraid that Freight Truck and bus will have an endless journey in the future. In the previous coordination meeting, Ye Tian had clearly assigned the management and management of Long Distance Bus Station to Ouyang Ruochen. This piece of cake, Hu Fuzhen could no longer eat it.

But on the other hand, whether it was the Freight Truck or the bus, both were operating on such a good highway, and this highway had been invested with such a huge amount of money.

Thinking to this, Ye Tian nodded his head in the end and said: "Alright, Ministry of Business Administration can set up a checkpoint at the entrance of the passage between Jingjin and other places, and they can charge a certain fee."

At this point, Ye Tian looked at Hu Fuzhen and continued, "Mr. Hu, how much do you think is more reasonable?"

Hu Fuzhen lowered his head to look at Ye Tian. He inadvertently glanced at Ye Tian and said, "One tael of silver per car."

Hearing Hu Fuzhen's words, Ye Tian started to quickly calculate in his mind. According to the estimated traffic flow, there were at least a hundred cars passing by at high speed through the Jingjin every day, and the daily profit would be one hundred silver. Thirty-six days in a year was three million six hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver.

This kind of profit, was not a small number even to Ministry of Business Administration.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but secretly wear Hu Fuzhen. This person not only had a good grasp on the amount of the toll, but he could also guess Ye Tian's intentions.

One silver tael wasn't considered much, but it wasn't considered small either. If there were too many, the extra costs would be transferred to the cost of the Freight Truck and bus, and the final payment would be made by the Chamber of Commerce and the citizens.

If he lost too much and his Ministry of Business Administration didn't make any money, it would be meaningless.

After looking at Hu Fuchang, Ye Tian smiled and said, "Sure, we'll do as you say. Each car will be charged one tael of silver."

Hearing Ye Tian En agreeing to this proposal, Hu Fuzhen immediately beamed with joy and said: "Thank you sire, for your grace."

Ye Tian waved his hand and said: "The Administration Department spent such a huge amount of money to build this highway. If it was an ordinary poor citizen, then it would be fine. It's also reasonable to charge a few tolls. "

"The rich must understand that their money did not come for no reason. "Without the stability of the empire, the freedom from the threat of war, and the careful management of the military and political institutions, not only would any rich person not be able to make money, but they might even lose everything. This is a matter of time." Ye Tian said again.

While listening to Ye Tian's words, Hu Fuzhen frowned and thought hard at the same time.

After a while, Hu Fuzhen looked like he suddenly came to a realization. He raised his head and looked at Ye Tian as he said: "Master, you mean that all actions aimed at earning money must rely on one foundation. That is political stability, and there is something more to be done at the decision-making level. "

Ye Tian smiled and poked Hu Fuzhen's face with his finger as he said: "He's worth teaching."

Although it was just a joke, Ye Tian had a whole new level of respect for Hu Fuzhen. Since Hu Fuzhen can see that all economic outcomes depend on political stability, he must understand the consequences of a change in Wu's regime.

After Ye Tian took office, he did not make a move on any of the ministers and aides. This meant that these people could actually be considered as the beneficiaries of Ye Tian's regime.

Hu Fuzhen was a business genius, otherwise he would not have been able to get the position of the Minister of Commerce and Government. If he could win over this kind of person, it would be a good deal for Ye Tian.

If there was a chance to have these people sincerely join them, then Chu Yu's court would not need to conduct a large-scale investigation. After all, these people were all extremely experienced, able to stand alone.

However, the judicial justice that the Court of Justice should realize in the end still had to be carried out. What Ye Tian needed the most was the ministers of both academies to wholeheartedly support Ye Tian's reform. This was extremely important.

At this time, Ye Tian spoke again: "The business of Long Distance Bus Station, belongs to the Royal Cars and Horses Shop. The business of the highway toll fee was due to the Ministry of Business Administration. This matter is decided then. "

At this point, Ye Tian paused for a moment, and then continued, "The opening ceremony of the Jingjin Expressway, is the date set by the three of you?"0

Ji Yanwenn said while smiling, "I have already discussed it with Master Yang Ministry of Rites Administration and have set it to be in three days. At that time, I will have to ask Master to come and cut the decorations."

Ye Tian said with a smile, "Alright, then three days later, the train will officially open."

Just as Ye Tian and the rest set a date for the Jingjin Expressway to open, an esteemed guest also arrived at the Athens City.

The identity of this esteemed guest was definitely not ordinary.
