Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 422
This conferring ceremony will be a very grand event.

However, Cao Cao and Sun Ce decided to hold it in advance within their own power.

They are all county lords, why do you Zhang Ming do things with great fanfare, they will do it too.

However, Liu Biao was very disdainful. In the past, he should be crowned king, and it was nothing to enshrine a county, so he didn't plan to hold any ceremony at all.

Sun Ce spent several days preparing, and immediately after the ceremony, he headed towards Cao Cao.

He wanted to congratulate Cao Cao himself, of course, this might be just an excuse.

For the real purpose, Sun Ce may have to reach some kind of tacit agreement with Cao Cao.

It is not possible to form an alliance for the time being, because on the surface, Sun Ce and Zhang Ming have a better relationship.

However, Sun Ce and Zhang Ming did not have many common interests, but he and Cao Cao had many common interests.

Zhang Ming didn't know how Sun Ce and Cao Cao would hold this grand ceremony.

Zhang Ming handed over the matter to Chen Yang.

Only Tian Feng stayed behind in the cabinet, and he was really busy, so it was just right to hand it over to Chen Yang.

The two most important parts of the ceremony are offering sacrifices to heaven in the square, and the other is the military parade.

Worshiping the sky is a symbol of imperial power, but Zhang Ming, a county marquis, actually wants to hold a sacrifice to the sky.

The military parade is a show of force, but also to calm people's hearts.

To show off its force to the outside world and attract talents from other places.

Internally, it reassures the common people, increases their self-esteem and sense of honor.

All these matters were handed over to Chen Yang, and Zhang Ming became the shopkeeper again.

Except for dealing with government affairs every three days, he didn't pay much attention to other things.

Of course, take some time each day to go through the briefing.

More than ten days later, Zhang Ming received the news that the road to Jizhou was finally completed.

"Great, I'm going to preside over the opening ceremony myself."

The Chidao from Beiping City to Jizhou is a very wide road, tens of meters wide.

After Chi Dao was repaired, Zhang Ming and the others transferred troops from Youzhou to Jizhou. The speed was very fast, and the transportation of grain and grass was also convenient.

Hurry up, it will take two days to arrive, and the communication will be greatly accelerated.

Zhang Ming set up more than 20 post stations along the road.

This station not only has to guarantee communication between people, but also has some people patrolling the road and acting as traffic police.

Pedestrians pass free of charge, but vehicles need to be charged.

When collecting, the road will be issued to avoid repeated charges at several points.

Zhang Ming estimated that he would not be able to collect much money, but if the money collected could cover the expenses of more than 20 stations along the way, it would be very good.

The two lanes in the middle are specially used for military purposes. Of course, horse teams delivering newspapers are also allowed to use them.

Zhang Ming personally led the wives to a point in the suburbs to preside over the opening ceremony of the road in a carriage.

At the ceremony, some officials and some businessmen were present.

On this road, these merchants are the ones who earn the most, and they can greatly reduce the freight.

Zhang Ming held a grand ceremony.

After that, each went back and announced that the road was open.

At the same time, Zhang Ming asked the second to make an announcement on the headlines of the front page.

After returning, Zhang Ming called Tian Feng over.

"Tian Feng, the road from Youzhou to Jizhou has been repaired. I want to build the road from Youzhou to Xuzhou through Qingzhou immediately."

Tian Feng looked bitter, and said helplessly: "Master, we just had a balance, and the national debt we borrowed last time will expire in a while."

In fact, there is still half a year to expire.

In the past six months, the harvest has been good, and Zhang Ming's military expenditure is also small.

However, the balance is not much, and Zhang Ming has to start a new project.

"Tian Feng, don't be so short-sighted, there are many benefits to building roads."

Zhang Ming sat down and asked someone to get a tea set, which meant he planned to have a good debate with Tian Feng.

"Tian Feng, money is only money if it circulates, and it's useless to store it in the warehouse."

"Our side pays money to build the Chi Road, which is very useful, and the people involved in the road construction can earn money, and they will live well, and we can also recover part of the money through taxation, and the people will be happy. If we run out of money, where can we collect taxes?"

Zhang Ming explained to Tian Feng, Tian Feng was expressionless, and when Zhang Ming finished speaking, he said: "It's okay to build roads, take it easy, wait for the economy to be more comfortable."

Now, they are heavily in debt, and Tian Feng really doesn't want to do it.

Road construction, from Youzhou to Jizhou, cost tens of millions of dollars to build such a high-standard road.

With 10,000+ people, it takes so long to repair, just food and wages are a lot of expenses.

If there is money, Tian Feng also knows the benefits.

However, there is no money now.

"Tian Feng, your thinking is wrong. From an economic point of view, government debt can greatly stimulate GDP, that is, economic growth, promote employment, and increase fiscal revenue."

Chu Xiaoran began to popularize economics for Tian Feng.

However, Tian Feng didn't seem to understand.

Finally, Tian Feng said: "My lord, I want to keep all the daily expenses. There is still some money left. You can use it all to build roads. I don't care if it is not enough."

Tian Feng still compromised.

But he didn't dare to let Zhang Ming spend lavishly, and he still owed tens of millions of national debts.

"Okay, let's do it like this, as long as you give me a little start-up capital, I will be able to get money for road construction."

"In my lifetime, I will connect all the states of Dahan with concrete roads. By then, China will be unified and all states will be connected, and the prosperous age will not be far away."

Tian Feng ignored Zhang Ming, he had to get the money himself anyway.

After some calculations by Tian Feng, the money that can be transferred to Zhang Ming is more than 700 million.

More than 700 million, Zhang Ming immediately arranged and ordered the previous road construction team to disband half, and the other half was transferred here to repair the road.

There is not much money, and it is impossible to repair the road with this amount of money, but Zhang Ming can allocate part of the money a month.

The more than 700 million yuan is enough for Zhang Ming to set up the shelf first.

Zhang Ming's actions were quick, and after more than ten days, some people had already entered the field and started to prepare for road construction.

The original road was widened, and there was no need to continue exploration, so Zhang Ming ordered the road to be repaired immediately.

In addition, Qingzhou and Xuzhou have also started recruiting workers.

In short, Zhang Ming wanted to repair the road as soon as possible.

Zhang Ming wasn't too worried about money.

The income in all aspects is enough to cope.

At this time, many businessmen are rich.

Zhang Ming turned his mind on them.

Of course Zhang Ming was not going to rob or blackmail, but to sell them things.

Zhang Ming has many things to sell, but he doesn't plan to sell too much.

Things need to be few to be precious.

The next thing is to get money from other places, some business income, Zhang Ming will also start to withdraw money.

Tangling Restaurant made a lot of money, but Zhang Ming used it for expansion.

Now that the expansion has been almost done, it's time to use the money from the restaurant's profits.

Then there is the money from Fusang.

In short, there is always a way to pay every month without having to make a large sum of money all at once.

When Tian Fengna's finances are relieved, he can also transfer the money to use it.
