The Strongest System To Dominate the Three Kingdoms - Chapter 1193

After throwing out the Grand Canal, there are all kinds of sounds.

There are mixed praises and criticisms, but more people are just talking about it. As a topic, they don’t understand and are not very interested in the construction of this canal.

Some people scolded Zhang Yu for hurting the people and wealth, but they didn’t touch their interests and didn’t cause them to lose anything, so they also expressed their opinions.

As for daring to make trouble, they dare not.

It’s okay to express your opinions. If you dare to make trouble, I’m sorry, but they are welcome in the dark room of the police station.

But it is a pity for the common people.

You can’t dig the river without passing by them.

This river digging is undead. There is money to take and grain to eat. If you dig a year or two, you can tear down the house and rebuild it when you go home.

More people have nothing to do with themselves.

Only a part of the people and businessmen are involved.

How could they not think of a canal where North and South could travel in a more economical way.

These merchants immediately began to move their minds, and some powerful merchants had already moved in ahead of time and bought properties directly in the cities along the way.

They are also worried now that Zhang Yu had been quietly proceeding, and few people saw Zhang Yu’s intentions, but now they all saw Zhang Yu’s intentions.

Zhang Yu is going to build a north-south canal, and then many waters will be linked together.

The final result is a further reduction in the cost of North-South trade.

Merchants are profit-seeking and have a very keen sense of smell.

But they are now worried.

Because many people talked about Zhang Yu’s labor and wealth, some even wrote to Zhang Yu directly, asking Zhang Yu to stop building the canal.

This made these businessmen very worried, and the construction of the canal would be too beneficial for them.

What if the imperial court refuses to repair because of pressure?

This is a very serious matter, so they have to find a way.

The court must continue to build the canal. The canal is too important and cannot be dragged. It is best to start the construction as soon as possible.

The effect of the canal was so great that the merchants were all staring at it.

As a result, several imperial relatives and relatives were lobbied, and some local government offices also wanted to fix it. After theirs, a place can become prosperous.

In this way, a very powerful force is formed, and they are willing to strongly influence through various channels.

Zhang Yu summoned Mr. Qiao and Zhen Yi.

“Two heads of state, I heard that people often disturb you recently.” Zhang Yu invited the two heads of state to dinner.

Both of them are big businessmen, and the main development direction of Zhen Yi is Jizhou.

Jizhou is his base camp.

“They are all here to inquire about the news, they are very concerned about the North-South Canal.” Zhen Yi said.

Old Qiao smiled bitterly, and then said: “More than just paying attention, they can’t wait to give the money for your Majesty and help your Majesty to repair the canal quickly.”

This canal is very important.

The businessman has seen the benefits.

They really want Zhang Yu to be able to do it in one step and quickly repair the canal.

But the leak of the canal plan this time has aroused great concern.

These businessmen are scared.

“Help me fix it? It’s a very good suggestion. I have been short of money recently.”

This is the truth, Zhang Yu’s lack of money is very serious, mainly because the provinces have to build roads.

The road is still being repaired. At the same time, all counties and cities in the province also need to build roads.

There are so many roads to repair, but a lot of money is needed.

Although the empire is now wealthy, it is mainly due to a large amount of overseas income every year.

Today, South Africa, North America and Fusang can provide large amounts of gold and silver every year.

In other words, there were not many gold coins on the market before, and now there are a lot of gold coins.

There are more silver mines, but gold mines are very rare.

“The two state leaders need a lot of money to build roads. Now that the treasury is empty, it is really not fast. I am afraid that it will take ten years to build it slowly.” Zhang Yu said.

Zhen Yi is relatively indifferent. Now Chidao has been repaired from Beijing to the provinces in Jizhou, and his business is mainly concentrated in these places.

But the impact on Mr. Qiao will be great.

Ten years, ten years is too long.

“Your Majesty, it’s better to let the minister go to them to raise a part of the donation and speed up the progress.” Old Qiao suggested.

“How sure are you, how much money can you pool?” Zhang Yu asked.

This old man Qiao was not very sure, and then said: “In the past few days, dozens of people have come to the court to say that if you gather them together, plus several states along the way, you may be able to raise millions of silver coins.”

“Issuing bonds, I want to raise 30 million yuan, 10 million for a two-year short term, with an interest rate of 3.5%, 10 million for a ten-year period, with an interest rate of about 5%, and another 10 million for fundraising, if enough is raised. , I will invest twice as much manpower to build it.” Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu released the news in order to test the reaction of the people.

Nowadays, there are no large-scale petitions requesting that the canal be abandoned.

The response from the people is dull, and there is not much attention, even compared to the division of administrative regions, it is simply insignificant.

The North-South Canal is divided into several, and the most important one is now the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which connects several water systems, which is a thousand miles long.

Now Zhang Yu has repaired it for a year and a half, and has completed one-fifth, but he also spends a lot of money.

The daily consumption is very large. In the middle, Zhang Yu added manpower several times, and now more than 100,000 people have slowly built these.

Zhang Yu understood that to build the Grand Canal, it is still easy to start.

Although the Sui Dynasty quickly pierced through several canals, they confiscated millions of people.

So many people are expropriated, it will lead to big problems.

Zhang Yu extended the time and spent more than a few years for repairs. In the Sui Dynasty, it took more than two years to repair Beijing-Hangzhou, but what he prepared was five to ten years, depending on the situation.

Next, there will be some areas that are not easy to fix, so you have to fix it slowly.

In fact, Zhang Yu asked people from the Engineering College to mark some of the more difficult areas, and had already sent someone to fix them.

There are only a few points, and there are only hundreds of people at one point. Let them repair it slowly, even using cement.

Qiao Xuan and Zhen Yi didn’t know how to answer Zhang Yu’s words.

Raising 30 million silver coins is actually not very difficult, but these merchants don’t know whether they want to ~www.mtlnovel.com~ because there are still 10 million for the court.

“If the news is passed on, it will start in ten days from the local area, and it will be handled by banks from all over the country for one month. If feasible, I will use at least 300,000 people to dig the canal next year.” Zhang Yu said.

Now, in fact, there are only 100,000 logistics personnel. Some of them are used for transporting grain, cooking, and other aids. Only about 80,000 people are actually digging on the construction site every day.

“Yes, the minister first pledged 200,000 silver coins, and the minister didn’t buy bonds, so he donated 300,000.” Zhen Yi said.

Zhen Yi didn’t have great demand for the canal, but Zhang Yu’s policy must be supported by him.

“The minister should at least help your majesty collect half a million silver coins.”

This is a silver coin, not a copper coin. Although a large amount of silver is imported, the empire has a lot of silver coins, but the silver is still quite before this era.
