"This kind of road really deserves some further research. Let me ask you how much it would cost to build it.

If only more roads like this could be built, connecting the east, west, south and north.

The connections between various parts of the Dayuan Dynasty have become even closer."

Xuantian felt a surge of heat in his heart.

I have realized the great significance of the path of cultivation.

As long as domestic resources can be mobilized more quickly, it will be easier to deal with the enemy country.

All his anger towards Ye was instantly wiped away.

She was even looking forward to meeting her sixth prince soon.

Ask about road construction.

Shangguan Qi agreed deeply and expressed his full support, saying in a low voice: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. I think the cost of building such a road should not be too high.

After all, the road can be repaired with the efforts of the province affected by the disaster.

If the imperial court takes action, it will be easy to capture them."

"You're right! We can't rest any longer, let's get on with our journey!"

Xuantian couldn't wait any longer.

This is a major matter concerning the strength of the imperial court.

Find out as soon as possible.

I just drank a cup of tea and immediately hurried on my way.

You can eat while traveling in the carriage without being affected at all.

The mood of the two people changed drastically.

I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I went out.

Shangguan Qi looked at the scenery outside the window and thought secretly in his mind.

"Your Majesty, I just counted! In just half an hour, over forty caravans have passed by.

Considering that a carriage costs more than thirty cents, you can earn a lot of money in a day.

If it were always like this, the money earned in a day might be no less than several hundred taels.

If you calculate it over the whole year, you can easily earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

Shangguan Qi said excitedly.

Xuantian was stunned when he heard this: "According to what you said, building a road like this can still make money?"

"Yes! Absolutely no problem! Besides, we just suffered a flood, and people's lives have not yet recovered.

I believe that in a few days, there will definitely be more caravans coming and going.

If more people walk, the money earned will also increase."

"This is really beyond my expectations. Who would have thought that you could make money by building roads?"

Xuantian was very surprised.

Shangguan Qi continued, "There is one thing Your Majesty hasn't thought of!

Your Majesty, think about it, the court has to allocate a lot of money every year to maintain official roads.

The most feared thing when building a road is horse-drawn carriages carrying goods.

If these caravans all take the highway, the repair time of the official road will be longer, and it can save the court a lot of money.

This really kills two birds with one stone.”

"You're right!" Xuantian's eyes brightened.

In order to deal with enemy invasions, military expenditures have always been a headache for the imperial court.

If we could save some money in other areas, we could build a stronger army.

As the army's strength grows, the destruction of the northern enemy is just around the corner.

“If only all roads could be like this one, with so many caravans passing through.

More highways should indeed be built.

Not only can we make money, but we can also save money for the court."

Xuantian became more and more interested in road construction.

"But there's still a problem! Although building this kind of expressway can make money in the long run.

But the one-time investment cost is quite high.

It may take several years or even more than ten years to recover the capital.

It is still a considerable burden for the imperial court."

Shangguan Qi explained.

Xuantian frowned slightly: "This is indeed a problem, but since Ye can build the road.

Look and see how he does it."

"It seems that we can only rely on His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince to help solve this problem." Shangguan Qi had no other choice.

As the prime minister of the court, he always worries about the court's expenses.

If it weren't for Ye conquering Annan and solving the court's urgent needs.

The national treasury had already been empty.

Moreover, not long ago, he took over the officialdom of Nanqian and obtained several million taels of silver for the court.

Suddenly I realized that the Sixth Prince is indeed a genius in business.

No matter where you go, you can make a lot of money.

As long as you are short of money, there is absolutely no problem asking the Sixth Prince for help.

The group traveled at a rapid pace and finally arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

When I saw the city gate from a distance, I could already see that there were a lot of people on the road.

There were many caravans coming and going, and it was extremely lively, even more prosperous than the capital.

Before reaching the factory gate, there were many women in fancy clothes soliciting customers on the side of the road.

"Excuse me, would you like to stay here? Our inn is clean and sanitary, and the food is delicious."

"Sir, do you want to come and play? The girls in our Yihong Courtyard are very pretty and are good at playing all kinds of musical instruments and singing.

We guarantee you will return with satisfaction."

"Uncle, you can try our foot bath shop, where you can wash your feet and get a massage, which will instantly make all the fatigue from running around disappear.

They are all young and beautiful girls, so tender that you can squeeze out water from them."

"The Bafang Casino will definitely make you feel at home! If you like gambling, you can stay here and we'll arrange everything for you."

…

Xuantian and his group were stunned on the spot.

Although many words are not very clear, the meaning of selling meat is clear between the lines.

The Dayuan Dynasty did not ban brothels, but such intentions did not dare to be so blatant.

It is really immoral and shameful to solicit customers at the city gate.

His mood, which had accumulated so much on the road, suddenly sank to the bottom.

"Isn't he in the Governor's Mansion? How can these flesh traders be so arrogant!

There are also people who run gambling houses, and they dare to be so blatant.

It’s absolutely outrageous.”

As the carriage moved forward, a group of women immediately surrounded it and introduced the products in their shops.

There are even specially printed coupons.

Guests who have just arrived can use coupons to offset part of their payment, which is very cost-effective.

What kind of membership recharge can get discounts?

The variety of promotional methods is simply unheard of.

I saw many men being bewildered and infatuated.

Xuantian became more and more angry.

Relying on such intentions is simply to discredit the government.

"Go, go away. Who would go to a place like this?"

Xuantian scolded with a gloomy face.

"Oh, sir, I can tell from your aura that you are no ordinary person!

If you are so resistant to this, it must be your first time coming to our Nanqian!

There are many people who are just like you the first time.

But once you try it once, you will be addicted and will come back again next time.

But seeing the disgust on your face, you must have thought that what we do is a sex business or a brothel.

You are wrong! We are all serious businessmen, and the girls only sell their skills, not their bodies."

Xuantian didn't believe what they said.

Immediately have your men disperse them.

With a gloomy face, he shouted angrily: "Go to the Governor's Mansion immediately, I want to see what Ye is doing.

Even if you are short of money, you cannot do things without any bottom line."

Shangguan Qi didn't know how to persuade him, he also felt that it was really outrageous.

It would be fine if someone else did these things.

But as a prince, Ye's status concerns the reputation of the royal family.

How can you clearly support such a superficial thing?

Wouldn’t that make the Dayuan royal family a laughing stock?
