Chapter 196 Opening to Traffic

Chapter 196 Opening to Traffic

Yang Jian looked at Xiao Chuan and said, "Chuan'er, is the auspicious time here?"

Xiao Chuan said: "The auspicious time has come. Please, Your Majesty and the Queen, cut the ribbon for the Changqu Expressway."

Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo were in front, followed by Yang Yong, Yang Guang, Li Yuan, Xiao Chuan and Li Yu.

When he came to the red silk, Li Yu was holding a plate with two golden scissors inside. Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo each picked up a pair of scissors and cut the red silk.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty and Queen for cutting the ribbon for the opening of Changqu Expressway!"

"Changqu Expressway is officially open!"

"Your Majesty, it's rare that the weather is clear today. Let's also go to Qujiang Pond to see the scenery."

"It's rare to steal half a day's leisure, so it's good to take a stroll."

Dugu Jialuo took Yang Jian's arm into the carriage and came to the tollgate.

Before the toll pole was lifted, Dugu Jialuo had already taken out a hundred copper coins and handed it to the toll collector in the small house. The toll collector, who had never seen this scene before, knelt down and kowtowed in fright.

Xiao Chuan hurried forward and said, "Queen, you and Your Majesty don't need to pay the fee."

Dugu Jialuo said: "You have to pay a toll when driving on the expressway. This is a rule, and the emperor and Aijia can't make an exception."

Xiao Chuan bowed and saluted, raised his hands above his head, respectfully took the one hundred cash, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty and the Queen, for paying the fee."

Dugu Jialuo smiled and said in a low voice: "It's all our own business. Of course the Ai family has to establish rules. If any minister or noble family member doesn't pay the fee, you tell the Ai family and the Ai family will ask for it for you."

Xiao Chuan also said in a low voice: "My aunt is really tall, and my nephew will send the dividends to my aunt when the time comes."

Yang Jian had a wry smile on his face. As an emperor, he had to pay tolls. He was probably the best emperor in history. However, he felt better when he thought that a large amount of money would be transferred into his internal funds every month.

Yang Jian said: "Ah Cheng, Chuan'er, you two get in the car and drive with me, and explain to me."

"According to the order."

Yang Guang and Xiao Chuan got into Yang Jian's carriage and were the first to enter the expressway.

Yang Yong was in a complicated mood, but his expression remained the same. He paid a toll of [-] Wen, and drove the carriage into the expressway for the second time.

Afterwards, Gao Yan and other ministers paid the toll and entered the expressway one after another.

Tang Guogong Li Yuan and little money fan Li Yu were busy at the entrance of the expressway, supervising the tolls and allowing horses without manure pockets to buy manure pockets to enter.

Seeing these scenes, Gao Yan shook his head helplessly, and said, "Su Nayan, even selling dung pockets, Baron Wannian is really good at making money."

Tai Changqing and Prince Shaobao Suwei who were in the same car said: "People say that Xiao Chuan is a dude and incompetent, but today I saw that the rumors are not true. This kid is not simple."

Gao Bin said: "Could it be that Cheng Biaozi can still fall into the eyes of your Sui financial expert?"

Su Wei said: "Wei is the Prince Shaobao now, and we don't conspire with each other in different ways. He is now closer to King Jin. For balance, it is better to stay farther away from him."

Although Su Wei was talented, he acted cautiously. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was favored by Yu Wenhu and recruited as his son-in-law. However, he felt that Yu Wenhu was ambitious. In order to avoid being implicated, he resigned several times and lived in seclusion in a mountain temple. Participation was rejected.

After Yang Jian proclaimed himself emperor, he enfeoffed Suwei as Taichangqing and Prince Shaobao, and presented him as a posthumous gift to his father. Later, he made Suwei concurrently serve as Nayan and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but Suwei declined all of them.

Yang Jian had no choice but to issue an edict: "The boat needs to carry more loads, and the horse will run far. It is because you have many talents, so don't refuse, and do more for the court."

Su Wei didn't refuse and did things with peace of mind.

When Yang Yong drove up, Yun Zhaoxun snuggled up beside Yang Yong, and put the peeled fruit into Yang Yong's mouth.

Feeling agitated, Yang Yong embraced Yun Zhaoxun in his arms. Yun Zhaoxun pretended to struggle and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, there are so many people out there, don't let outsiders see it. It would be bad if it gets to Sister Yuan."

Yang Yong said: "It doesn't matter, the lonely king originally thought that the Yuan family could stand on the lonely king's side, but Yuan Xie's reaction was indifferent, and he didn't express his position for a long time. The concubine Yuan is also a piece of wood, and she doesn't understand a little style."

Yun Zhaoxun said: "If Yuan Xie doesn't stand in line with His Highness with a clear-cut stand, the other Guanlong nobles will not express their stance either."

Yang Yong said: "Well, so the lonely king can't be hanged by a tree. Without the support of the nobles of Guanlong, there are still aristocratic families with five surnames and seven Wangs who can fight for it."

Yun Zhaoxun said: "My father said that the big families of aristocratic families are arrogant and greedy. Once you get involved with them, it's like a big tree being entangled by vines. It will keep sucking your blood until it sucks you. After it dries, replace it with another tree."

Yang Yong said: "This lonely king knows, but the lonely king is confident that he can beat them."

Yun Zhaoxun said: "In the past few days, your second younger brother has created workshops for mala tang, hot pot, cement, etc., and now he has built a highway. The concubine admires him very much when he sees his father and mother."

Yang Yong felt in a bad mood all of a sudden, he was silent for a while and said: "Children are playing tricks, and it will take ten years to become the lonely king's opponent. The Empress Dowager even deliberately taught the ministers and the eunuchs in the palace, she didn't have any pretensions of a county king, so find an opportunity to let your brother teach Chuan Biaozi a lesson and beat him up."

Yun Zhaoxun said: "Okay, the concubine will tell my brother when I get back."

Yang Yong lightly kissed Yun Zhaoxun on the cheek, and said, "It would be great if the Yuan family was half as understanding as you."

In Yang Jian's car, Yang Guang was introducing the high-speed construction to Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo.

"Father, mother, Changlong Expressway is [-] miles long, two-way four lanes, separated by tree walls in the middle to avoid collisions, and outside the carriageway is a sidewalk, which is also separated by tree walls to avoid collisions between pedestrians and vehicles."

"Large trees are planted on the outside of the sidewalk, and drainage ditches are placed on the outside to prevent flooding, and to prevent horse-drawn carriages from entering the expressway without paying the toll."

"Why are sidewalks built on highways?"

"Father, Dugu Chuan said that the expressway should not only provide a smooth road for vehicles, but also provide convenience for pedestrians. When there are more people, the business in the service area will be easier."

"The Aijia believe in Chuan'er's ability to make money."

"Vehicles are charged on the highway, and pedestrians are free. In the future, military vehicles will not be charged on the highway."

"That's great. I've calculated that driving on a high-speed road is at least twice as fast as driving on a dirt road. In this way, if there is a war, the army can reach the battlefield quickly. Such a high-speed road not only needs to be repaired, but also needs to be repaired."

"Your Majesty, building roads costs money."

"Hey, I know, but the financial resources of the Ministry of Finance are tight now, so the queen's internal funds should be used first."

"Brother Jian, Ai's family hasn't made any money yet, so you should think about it first."

"If the family doesn't ask you to borrow it, who can they borrow it from?"

"Auntie, after spring, my nephew wants to plant grass and flowers on both sides of the expressway, plant lotus in the river, and build corridors. It won't take long for the sides of the expressway to become the second scenery after the food street."

"Chuan'er has a good idea. When the flowers bloom, Ai's family will also come to see the scenery."

"What are those roadside signs for?"

"That's a billboard, built by Xiao Chuan. It costs one hundred cents to advertise for a month."

"Chuan'er, you also wrote the advertisement?"
