Chapter 377 The reasons are as follows
"I plan to find some righteous merchants to set up a chamber of commerce. Members of this chamber of commerce must provide some help within their capacity when our country needs financial and material assistance. Of course, I also promised them that when they encounter problems, I will help them pass on messages to the government and ensure the effective flow and accuracy of information.
Also, I have a new proposal. I plan to mobilize these merchants to build bridges and roads, but we cannot reward them without rewarding them anything. So I propose that these merchants can claim a section of road or a bridge, and they can build this section of road by themselves. After the road is built, a stone tablet with their names and dates can be erected on the side of the road. This is to take other people's money and do your own thing.
I think this can be done for the following reasons: the road is easier to travel on, which makes things more convenient for everyone. This is the first point. Establishing a chamber of commerce can help these people find some places to spend the money in a fair and honest way, which is better than giving it to corrupt officials. This is the second point. The total amount of money is fixed, and if it is not spent here, it will be spent there. What if the money flows into the hands of aristocratic families? It will be more difficult for the government to manage and control them. This is the third point. The road is repaired and the monument is erected. For these businessmen, it is both an honor and a supervision. They are always supervised to be good people, good people who benefit the country and the people, otherwise the monument will be taken back. This is the fourth point.
Let's talk about the benefits to the government officials: the roads were repaired, the connections between different places were closer, and the communication was more convenient. For the government officials, it was not only better for management, but more importantly, it brought them great reputation, which showed that our Dali Dynasty was strong, and this was a political achievement. Whenever ordinary people walked by this place and saw these stone tablets, they would think that this was built by someone on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year. The time and year on each tablet were the best reward for the government officials. After several years, this history might be passed down from generation to generation in the form of various legends, and it would be passed down through the ages and immortalized! "
The pie must be drawn and it must be made sound tempting. What if the government does not agree? The words have been put out and it will be a big deal if it cannot be done.
Lord Wei listened and complained in his heart, there are indeed many advantages, but you are too good at bragging, even talking about making a name for yourself for all eternity.
Although I thought so in my heart, I still admired Young Master Shen very much. He was really good at getting things done. He could do whatever he wanted and basically get everything done. His ability was unparalleled.
Lord Wei asked expressionlessly: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?" He was a martial arts master, but now he had become a messenger.
"No more. Just help me convey the truth to the officials."
After receiving the information, the official was very impressed with this little girl. She had a very useful brain. Look, the donation matter was not yet completed, and she came up with a new idea.
I have to say, this is a good idea. Thanks to this little thing, my national treasury and private treasury are much full this year, but if I spend all this money, I can't even hear a sound. I am still too poor.
It is fine to use other people's money to do your own things. First, use other people's money to repair the road. It's just to erect a few monuments. If you want to erect them, just do it.
If any of them do not do well or break the law, they can be removed if they can be appointed. This can be done. It only takes a few words from me. The road will be good and the reputation will be established.
The year, month and day on the stone tablet are indeed the best reward for me. It seems that I am not there, but I am everywhere. This is the most amazing thing.
That's right, this little thing knows a little too much, it really is my lucky star.
"I agree, but you have to choose these people carefully, and you have to set a standard for the level and standard of the road construction."
The five families singled out by Shen Ruyi all donated silver as quickly as possible, and the amount was not small. The smallest family donated 3 taels, and the largest donated more than 6 taels.
Other timid families who were waiting and watching also quickly sent people to donate more money. It's better to donate now, since you have to donate sooner or later.
If we really wait for the money to be collected, we will lose both our dignity and our reputation. If we donate now, we will only lose some money, but at least we can save our reputation. Anything saved is better than nothing.
There were many people who thought this way, and the amount of silver donated to the court was increasing rapidly.
Of course, there are also those who don't believe in it and just ignore it.
When Shen Ruyi received more silver donated by the imperial court than from Tianxia Diyilou, he immediately donated another 20 taels.
Now that you have become a catfish, then be a successful catfish, keep adding investment, and let’s all swim.
By the way, among the families that had not moved, two more were selected for surgery.
For example, the head of the so-and-so family, his eldest daughter was not born to his concubine, but to his cousin.
And the wife of the head of so-and-so's family is having an affair with the head's younger brother.
The people who passed the news on were all stunned. Was it so explosive? Was it true?
These two pieces of information spread throughout the capital at lightning speed, and naturally they were like thunder and it really shocked everyone.
The greeting people gave each other became, "Tell me, is this news true?"
“I also want to know if it’s true?”
"Whether it is true or not, I think it will become clear after seeing how these two companies perform in the future."
"Makes sense."
After Shen Ruyi dropped two bombs, he stopped caring and started focusing on the hero list.
When Boss Qin and Boss Xue saw that Shen Ruyi donated another 20 taels of silver, they thought that it was Shen Ruyi sending a signal that it was time to take action, plus there was the matter of erecting a monument pending.
These merchants went crazy and donated silver without asking for money. Soon, the donations from Tianxia Diyilou surpassed those from Tianxia Diyilou by more than 50 taels.
This series of actions confused many people who were following the news, including Shen Ruyi.
The common people were simply excited watching the excitement. This event was so exciting, with so many twists and turns.
The gambling house has started betting again, and the bet is whether the imperial court ranking will be able to surpass the unofficial ranking of the World's Number One Building before tonight.
Most people bet on "no chance", and many big families got involved. The odds on "no chance" were 2 to 1.
After Shen Ruyi found out, he immediately sent someone to bet 50 taels on the possibility. The reason he chose it was because its odds were 7 to 1, which was high enough.
She could actually have put in more money, but she was afraid that she would defeat the dealer and stop playing.
By the way, he took 100 million taels of silver and asked Yiren to deliver it to the young prince. He must ensure that the donation amount on the imperial court list before tonight is more than that on the world's number one building list, even if it is only one tael more.
Of course, she did not stop leading the pace and continued to attack those families who did not donate the additional silver.
