Chapter 19 Forced Buying of Shares
During the autumn harvest in August, many road builders who came to build roads returned home one after another because of the busy farming at home.

The road construction sites were idle, and the owners of the He family and the Cao family finally breathed a sigh of relief. It would be fatal if the output could not keep up with the sales volume. If the construction period of the government project was delayed because the supplier could not deliver on time, it would be a waste of time. go!

They have opened cement factories in Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi. Concrete is actually very simple. It is a mixture of sand, stones and cement. The strength and hardness will change with different proportions, but the most important thing is cement. .

The production of cement is inseparable from lime. In addition to natural limestone, seashells and coral stones can also be used to make lime. Therefore, people who buy shells and coral stones are often seen at the seaside. Fishermen’s children cannot follow their parents. Those who go out to sea take advantage of the low tide to go to catch the sea. In the past, they used to catch live creatures. Now, even if they don’t catch anything, a bag of broken shells can be exchanged for two copper coins.

Li Zhao came down from the sea ship with King Su. It took two months to patrol the sea. He encountered pirates three times and confronted them twice. There was another time when the pirate ship ran away crazily as soon as it saw them. King Su led the fleet to chase them out several times. Ten nautical miles, entering the reef area, we can only give up.

Su Wang is extremely handsome and handsome, with bright eyes and sword eyebrows, and a straight nose bridge. In addition to practicing martial arts all the year round, he has a strong physique and a straight body. When he was in the capital, he was known as the most beautiful man in the Zhou Dynasty, and he was the dream of countless girls. lover.

And Su Wang is also a loose and romantic person, as long as someone gives him a woman, he will not refuse.

Tonight, Mr. Shen called some of the most famous prostitutes in Guangzhou to accompany them. They are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they were assigned to this Lingnan.

Several famous prostitutes heard that His Royal Highness Su Wang was hosting a banquet in the Shen Mansion today, and they were all looking forward to it. If they could not get the favor of His Highness Su Wang, they heard that His Royal Highness Shi Zi is also an extremely handsome young man, who looks just like Su Wang. His Royal Highness is very similar. He is 13 years old this year. I really want to see him!

Unexpectedly, when they saw King Su and his son, they all showed surprise in their eyes, followed by disappointment.

Two months of wind and sun had tanned the originally white and tender father and son as black as the bottom of a pot. When Mr. Song went to attend the reception dinner at Mr. Shen's mansion, he almost didn't recognize the two of them for a moment, but he couldn't hold back the sound of puffing. Laugh out.

During the banquet, he was even more proud because he was more favored by famous courtesans.

Fourth Master Song's appearance is also very good, otherwise he wouldn't have just changed from number one to Tanhua, and white is the beauty in this dynasty, men are no exception.

Several adults around looked embarrassed, thinking that Song Si was still too young, not stable enough, young and ambitious, and didn't know if the gutter would capsize in the future.

The next night, Lord Shen was making tea at home to amuse the cat, and his grandson Shen Xin told an anecdote about today's gossip: "It is said that Lord Song was picked up from the bed by His Royal Highness Su Wang early in the morning before he woke up. They clamored to ask him to sell [-]% of the concrete shares, otherwise he would be disrespectful to the royal family."

Master Shen snorted coldly, and asked, "Master Song, are you selling it?"

His grandson Shen Xin said with a smile: "Naturally, who is His Royal Highness King Su, he is the second in terms of cheating, no one dares to be the first, it is said that His Highness finally bought [-]% of the shares from Mr. Song at a price of [-] taels. King Su is really a penny-pinching man, he was ridiculed by Mr. Song yesterday, and today he will find his way back."

Master Shen put down the cat teasing stick in his hand, and the snow-white cat consciously jumped onto Master Shen's knee to be smoothed by him, and narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Mr. Shen asked back: "Don't you think that Song Si and His Royal Highness King Su are coming and going too frequently?"

Shen Xin was startled and asked: "Grandfather, what is the meaning of this? Even if it is a relationship, it must be that the bond is getting bigger and bigger."

Elder Shen smiled: "Do you still remember Li Zhao's kidnapping of Song Si's fourth daughter half a year ago? Kidnapping her just for fun, is this reason valid?"

Shen Dao said: "It's nothing, isn't it that Mr. Song's three daughters haven't cried since they were born, maybe the son really became playful, and wanted to see if the little girl really couldn't cry? I heard that the son had never cried since childhood. It's very naughty."

Elder Shen sighed softly: "You are too immature. Then Song Si is a character, and he is in a high position at a young age, so he must have something special. You have to keep your eyes open and think about it." After speaking, he shook his head and went back to the house with his hands behind his back.

The first month of the coming year.

The cement road from Guangzhou to Chaozhou was officially completed. The merchants who started to escort the first batch of goods north to Beijing after the Chinese New Year were eye-opening. It was the first time they saw such a smooth and clean road!

And the most important thing is that the wheels will not press ruts, and it will not be muddy in rainy days!This is really great!

Along the road, various billboards, restaurants, and hotels can be seen every now and then.

But no matter how good the road is, it will still be bad if you are overwhelmed. Originally, the subordinates asked Mr. Song if he needed to charge some fees. Mr. Song felt that the toll booth was not realistic. If there is a toll booth, there will be people Indiscriminate charges, food and card demand, and a good project to benefit the people caused complaints.

So it changed to selling horse license plates and license plates. Those who have horses, mules, and cars must have a license plate. Only after the license plate can they be given a cement road. The license plate has an annual fee, which is paid once a year.But the fee is not high, one tael of silver for a horse, five hundred for a mule, three taels a year for a large cart, and two taels a year for a small cart. This matter will be handled by the chief secretary's office.

Cows and donkeys are not allowed on the concrete road because they are too slow, and pedestrians are not charged, just walk aside.

Those who don't want to pay the license fee can still take the old dirt road.

In addition to repairing and maintaining the crushed road, these expenses also require hiring people to shovel and wipe horse manure on the road, and the accumulated dung cake will be sold to farmers around the road at a low price.
