After hearing what Ye said, instead of feeling hopeless, the shopkeepers present became even more excited.
"You can make a lot of money shipping freight across the river, and you can make another by bringing cattle and sheep back from the pasture.
The caravan could earn a couple of pennies each time it went back and forth.
Building a road like this will definitely make money!"
"From now on, we will follow the Sixth Prince to make money together. If there is another good opportunity like this, don't leave us behind."
“Now that things have come to this, why not build a few more roads?
Anyway, as long as the road is open to traffic, we can make money continuously.
It would be better to bet all your money on it."
"This is a great idea! Build highways on all the trade roads in Dayuan.
Then we’ll be totally rich.”
The more money they make, the more these people want to continue investing.
There is no business that makes more stable money than road construction.
Seeing that they were so interested, Ye was very happy.
Making good use of the money in these people's hands and carrying out large-scale infrastructure projects will not only benefit Dayuan's development.
The key is that this project requires a large amount of labor and can feed many people.
But building too many roads at once carries significant risks.
The top priority is to resolve external and internal problems first, and then focus on developing infrastructure.
"Don't be anxious! This road hasn't been officially completed yet, and the enemy countries in the north are eyeing it covetously. We have to manage this road well first." Ye advised.
"There shouldn't be any risks on this route. I heard the barbarians have already sent people to negotiate.
Since they don't want to go to war, stability can be guaranteed for at least a few years.
Making back the money is not a problem.
Besides, if a war really breaks out in the future, we'll have to transport a large number of troops and food, and we'll still make money, so there's nothing to worry about."
There was no shortage of powerful people present, even court officials.
They are quite well-informed.
Especially after knowing that the road was repaired and that Ye had won another victory, the enemy country was actually motivated to come for peace talks.
It also gave them enough confidence.
Ye explained, "We cannot have any confidence in these barbarians.
They don't have much credibility and can't really be trusted.
I hereby warn all businesses not to ship goods that are too valuable in their first shipment.
As long as you can make money, ensure safety first.
Even if there are unexpected events in online transactions, losses can be reduced.
First, manage this path well, and once the income stabilizes, it won’t be too late to consider planning a second path.”
After hearing what Ye said, everyone nodded in agreement.
Although foreign business is lucrative, it is also accompanied by huge risks.
After all, the enemy barbarians are hostile to Dayuan, and they are all managed by tribes.
Once someone has evil intentions, murder and robbery are common.
A large amount of goods are shipped through Dong, and there might be people who are jealous.
You must first test the waters and find a reliable trading partner before you start operating on a large scale.
After hearing Ye's comfort, his excited emotions finally calmed down.
But they are still determined that as long as there is an opportunity in the future, they must invest all their money in it.
You will definitely make a lot of money by following the Sixth Prince.
In the next few days, the number of people taking the highway increased instead of decreased.
Many people have nothing better to do than to take a horse-drawn carriage and experience the highway.
The results are also very satisfactory.
From the initial misunderstanding to the current active recommendation, the attitude has changed dramatically.
Especially I heard that even if it rains it will not affect the journey.
All you need to do is prepare in advance and install a carport on the carriage.
There are also service areas along the way that provide special rest areas, where you can eat and stay overnight, which is very convenient.
In this way, you don’t have to worry about running out of water or food while on the highway.
You don’t need to bring dry food with you when you travel far, which reduces costs a lot.
The shareholders who invested came to the counter every now and then to inquire about the situation. They were so happy to hear about the money they made that they couldn't stop smiling. These days, the corners of their mouths have been curled up, which is harder to suppress than a gun.
If you know your share of the shares, you will know how much money you can earn every day.
There is nothing more satisfying than this feeling of achievement.
Ye began to prepare to receive the barbarian delegation.
First come to the post house to see the living conditions.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites followed.
Although the Minister of Rites held a higher official position than Ye, he behaved very humbly in front of the extremely favored prince.
Ye just took a look and frowned.
"How can you receive foreign envoys under such conditions?"
Ma Fushan, the Minister of Rites, explained: “All foreign delegations were received in the same manner: officials were given individual rooms, while the lower-level officials were paired to a room.
For every eighteen people, there should be at least twelve dishes.
If the delegation is more influential, the conditions will be even higher than this.
This is all in accordance with regulations, there is no problem."
After hearing this, Ye became even more furious. Giving these things twelve dishes to eat, is there nothing left to do with the money?
Peace talks are just a formality. Once the other side is ready, war will definitely break out immediately.
"You don't understand. How can we use our own ideas to receive foreign delegations?
The bed is so soft that they usually just spread some cold noodles on the floor to sleep on.
It’s definitely hard to sleep well if it’s so soft.
Have them remove all the bedding, put down wooden boards and then some straw or something."
Ma Fushan was stunned on the spot, his face full of disbelief.
Even if two countries are at war, there should be sufficient courtesy when receiving an envoy.
If he angered the other party, it might affect the peace talks, and he couldn't bear such a heavy responsibility.
Before he could explain, Ye continued, "It wouldn't be that troublesome to prepare mixed vegetables for these people, as they usually eat beef and mutton.
Cows are precious livestock, so of course we cannot eat beef.
Just follow the recipe on the recipe page and cook the mutton in plain water, adding enough salt is good."
Ma Fushan and the officials of the post station were stunned with shock.
Only then did he realize that the Sixth Prince in front of him had no intention of negotiating with the other party and was completely prepared to stir up trouble.
Aren’t you afraid of angering the other party and starting a war immediately?
If something really went wrong, he was the Sixth Prince, so even the punishment wouldn't be severe.
As an official of the Ministry of Rites, he could not bear it.
Ma Fushan said with an embarrassed look on his face: "This is not good. If we provoke the other party to cause trouble and the peace talks fail, I really can't afford it."
"Who asked you to take on this responsibility? Father has already ordered me to take full responsibility for the negotiations.
Just do everything I said, and I'll take full responsibility.
Your job is to follow my instructions."
"Should I ask the Emperor for instructions?"
Ye waved his hand and said: "If you are worried, you can tell father.
But now you have to do as I say."
Ma Fushan was so anxious that he scratched his head. He didn't dare to offend Ye: "How dare I report your Highness? I'm just worried that I'll mess things up."
"This doesn't count as a complaint. It's your job to let the Emperor know, so just go ahead and do it.
Don't tell me about this kind of thing in the future!" said Ye.
