Chapter 612 (1/2)

Outside the gate of Zongzheng temple, there was a humble carriage.

”Be careful, madam!”

Xu Yousi is the first to jump off the carriage and help Gu Jiu get off the bus.

Gu Jiu stepped on the bench, got out of the carriage and stepped on the cement pavement that had only been paved three days ago.

Very down-to-earth!

She laughed. ”The young master is so quick. The concrete roads are all paved here.”

Xu Yousi busily said: ”the young master is in a hurry to make money. I wish the whole capital could be paved with cement roads in one day. So that everyone can see the benefits of cement roads and go to Shaofu to buy Cement. ”

It seems that Wende emperor listened to Gu Jiu's advice and renovated the roads in the capital city first, all of which were made of cement.

Part of the money is from the Ministry of household accounts, part by the military department and part by the government.

Why should the army pay for road construction?

Because the military department caught up with Gu Jiu and wanted to do express business with Gu Jiu. Shaofu and Hubu naturally refused to let go of the opportunity to kill the Army Department.

The Ministry of war is fighting for its reasons, but has not argued for it. The only way to avoid disaster is to support the people in Beijing and improve their travel conditions.

Once the cement road is built, the street is obviously more lively than in the past. Even ox carts, donkey carts and mule carts have also increased.

Hubu was very surprised.

There are not so many people on weekdays!

Where did these extra people come from?

However, many men and women who live in the capital are in fact homestead men and women, who don't go out easily on weekdays.

They dislike the dirty streets, muddy roads in rainy days, and heavy dust on sunny days. It's better not to go out.

As a result, these people gradually become the Real Housewives.

Now the roads in the capital are being repaired.

The repaired cement pavement is clean and tidy. There is no need to worry about the muddy road and the dust.

This group of homestead men and women are still thinking, so they have to go out of the house and go shopping.

More people, more cars and more horses.

If there are too many cars and horses, they will have to charge for health care. Because livestock dung can not choose a place, directly to the street, smelly.

To keep the street clean and tidy, you have to have it cleaned regularly.

It's money!

Naturally, yamen can't be asked to bear the money independently.

Come and go, all drivers who drive the car door will pay a sum of health expenses.

Not much. Five Wen.

People in Beijing who can afford to raise cattle, sheep, donkeys, mules and horses are no less than five Wen.

Five Wen. Take it.

Give me the bamboo stick as proof.

It is similar to the tourist tax.

The bamboo stick of health expenses is different every day, which is easy to distinguish.

Go shopping. You have to buy something to go shopping.

As a result, with the increasing number of people on the streets, the business of the shops in the capital and the travelling merchants in all walks of life have improved by one or two percent.

The business of individual shops has improved by 34%.

The weather is fine, and more people are out of town to play.

Outside the capital, only the official road outside the south gate was paved with cement.

Therefore, the south gate is the most lively among the four gates. Every day at the gate of the city, we have to line up in and out.

The young masters and young ladies in the capital go out of the city to play every day as if they were in a fair.

It is said that there are many scenic spots and academies built on the mountain, which is also interesting.

Not to mention the mountain, the Academy.

Xu has four newspapers identity, Zongzheng Temple officials will Gu Jiu welcome in.

”Madame Zhao, the woman Liu is locked up in the courtyard of the third character.”

Gu Jiu nodded, ”you go busy, I don't have to leave people here.”

Zongzheng Temple officials repeatedly nodded, ”the lower official is in the ward. If there is any need, the lady will send someone to say it.”

Gu Jiu is smiling.

Xu Yousi quickly sent a purse, which contained a fifty Liang silver note.

Follow the stone path to the c-yard.
