Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 296: : Highway

Laoshan.

A convoy of hundreds of steam cars came to Laoshan, outside the gate of Kyushu Academy of Sciences.

Li Zhen has packed up his neat attire and is heading out with a large group of people. But he saw Xun Jiayuan also walking out in decent clothes.

Li Zhen was stunned at first why Xun Jiayuan appeared here.

Then I remembered that Xun Jiayuan gave up his position as a standing committee member and settled in the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, indulging in scientific research. Basically, I don't come out and walk around. After a long time, Li Zhen has forgotten this.

"Hehe, Mr. Xun."

Li Zhen said hello.

Xun Jiayuan nodded: "Let's go. It is said that there is a meeting. I have retired from the standing committee, why do I still have me?"

"You are of the older generation after all. You will definitely be brought along for such a big event as a meeting."

Xun Jiayuan laughed, blushed and walked out hand in hand with Li Zhen, chatting while walking.

Xun Jiayuan didn't know what happened, so Li Zhen explained to him: "Maybe Emperor Du thinks it's time to go to war. So let's hold a meeting to discuss it."

Xun Jiayuan was confused: "War? Who will you start?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Xun, you are too confused. It must be a matter of Yamato and Raksha."

Xun Jiayuan slapped his forehead: "Oh, yes, yes, yes. I forgot about it. This time I have been soaking in your library, studying all kinds of knowledge. One day is like two days, and I have forgotten myself. "

Li Zhen took a deep look at Xun Jiayuan, feeling relieved for him. In the last few years and ten years of his life, he found his home, just like Lin Xiufeng from the Academy of Aviation. Everyone has their own hobbies.

Isn't such a person a kind of happiness?

"Accept the emperor's order. Escort Li Zhen, the party leader, and member Xun Jiayuan to Quancheng County."

The highest officer of the convoy stood at the gate, holding a document in his hand to announce. Looking at the eyes of the two, reverence and timidity.

Li Zhen waved his hand: "Let's go."

After getting in the car, the steam car didn't stop at all, and immediately turned around and headed towards Quancheng County. At various places along the way, the military and police cleared the way, unimpeded.

But it was still one night later that they arrived at Quancheng County.

Walking on the bumpy road, Li Zhen was thinking and meditating the whole time.

Xun Jiayuan, who was in the same car, asked, "What is the leader thinking?"

Looking out the car window, Li Zhen whispered, "I was wondering, is the distance between people in New Kyushu too far?"

"How do you say that?"

"It takes a day's journey from Laoshan to Quancheng County, or if the steam car has an army clearing the way. If no one clears the way, will this time be extended?"

"Hahaha, it's close enough. From Laoshan to Xizhou, that's far. If you go all the way fast, it will take a week or two."

"No, I'm not talking about relative distances. I'm wondering if it's possible to bring the distances of the entire New Kyushu closer."

"How to zoom in?"

Li Zhen hesitated for a while: "Master Xun, do you think there is such a possibility? Build a smooth, almost straight road. No stops in the middle, there are not so many forks. Only when you reach a certain There are only exits in an area. Only steam cars are allowed to drive on this kind of road. It is flat and unimpeded.”

"This idea... is quite novel. Can't the horse go up?"

"No. Only steam cars are allowed up."

"Then what kind of road is this? Isn't the road just for people to walk?"

"No. Our current roads have roads in some places and no roads in some places. Some places are muddy roads. Some places are still mountain roads. The road I am talking about directly connects the mountains and is a straight line. This saves a lot of time. No horses, no people on the road. Unimpeded."

"Get through the mountain? This is a big project. The cost of this road is not low, right?"

"Yes. The cost of this kind of road should be very expensive..."

Li Zhen looked back and smiled, and said softly: "But I am new to Kyushu, and I am not short of money."

Xun Jiayuan was taken aback, and couldn't help but smile: "Even if there is no shortage of money, we must plan the economy. We can't be a prodigal country. This road has been repaired, and the practical significance is lower than the cost."

"No. Mr. Xun, you can take some time to read some books on economics. You will understand what time means to a businessman. What convenient transportation means to a region."

"I definitely understand the importance of transportation. But...the government will lose money. The cost of this road is just a straight line from Laoshan to Quancheng County. The cost may not be less than hundreds of millions of Jiuzhou dollars, right?"

"More than that. Kyushu coins are worthless now. About one billion."

Xun Jiayuan took a breath of cold air: "Yes. At least one billion to start, the price is too high."

"No. If this road is built in Dongzhou, it will pay back in one year."

"Pay back? Is this road still making money?"

"Yes. We set up checkpoints and collect tolls. Does Mr. Xun know how many merchants there are in Dongzhou and how many goods need to be transported. Everyone is in a hurry. There is absolutely no problem in paying back the money in a year."

"Have you ever charged tolls? How is that different from Roadhog?"

"Of course there is a difference ~IndoMTL.com~ This road is built by us, and we charge reasonable tolls. But you can also choose not to take this road. You can also choose to go to various places on the old road, and It doesn’t force you to go, that’s the biggest difference. The most important thing is…the risks can be shared equally, the government can cooperate with capitalists to develop this road, capitalists can take part in this road, and capitalists can partner to pay for the construction. They will be very happy.”

"The idea you mentioned... If you say so, I think it can be done. What kind of road is this?"

"Highway."

“…”

Planning in my mind, I arrived at Quancheng County.

All members of the Kyushu Party, as well as the current Emperor Du Taiping, and Xun Shifei, the Prime Minister of the new Kyushu State, came to pick them up, welcome.

Xun Shifei was always in a bad mood. He used to be just one step away from the position of emperor, but now that Du Taiping is the emperor, he has become the prime minister. Du Taiping was one of the lowest administrative ranks, and even stood behind Du Taiping.

"Party leader. Thank you for your hard work all the way."

"Master Xun, you have worked hard."

"I really can't bear to invite the two of you here in such a hurry. Please move on, let's go eat first."

"First welcome the leader of the party."

“…”

Li Zhen waved his hand: "Let's not eat now. Call the people who need to be called, let's have a meeting first. Then... invite the relatively powerful capitalists in Dongzhou to come. After the meeting, I have a meeting for them. .Today's meeting is a heavy task, and at least three major things have to be decided. Let's not eat for now."

Du Taiping was stunned: "The party leader still has a meeting? What's the matter?"

Xun Jiayuan laughed loudly: "It's an earth-shattering event. You will know it later."

“…”
