027 Major construction projects, Qin Zhidao

 Seeing that Zhao Zheng, who was a talented and strategist, really chose to build the canal, Lu Buwei hypocritically listed the consumption, mobilizing 100,000 people for ten years, but the burden was one million.

However, the Qin State's treasury only had a surplus of half a hundred, which was not enough, far from enough. Even if all other fortifications were stopped, it was still not enough to maintain the basic needs of the Qin State.

In addition, even if Qin takes the initiative to stop its external offensive from today, it still has to prevent foreign invasion, and this part of the cost must not be saved.

Therefore, it takes at least three years of preparatory work before construction can officially start.

Zhao Zheng was immediately confused. The project funds were paid in one go. How could anyone budget like this?

You, Lu Buwei, are the most outstanding businessman of this era, that’s all!

There are also reports, processes, plans, not only by installments by months, but by years and quarters.

So how did Lu Buwei, the so-called most successful businessman of the Warring States Period, get his power by investing in rare goods...a red-top businessman?

Zhao Zheng's supercilious look was really too annoying. Lu Buwei bowed his hands and said, "I wonder what your majesty has to say?"

Zhao Zheng was full of ink, but could not find an outlet to use it.

We can't start from the basics first, figure out 1234567890, and then popularize Arabic numerals. Moreover, in this magical Qin Dynasty, the boss's human brain computer, those 1234567 are used very strangely.

.

Therefore, there is still a lack of talent. Zhao Zheng could only wave his hand and said: "First separate the plan for the first year, and then divide the plan into four seasons, and then separate three small goals for each quarter."

Lu Buwei continued to bury the hatchet and said: "Your Majesty, in this way, the first year's plan can naturally be spent directly from the treasury.

Just!

Eating the food of the Yin season at the Mao hour, and eating the food of the Mao year in the Yin year can certainly relieve the temporary crisis and gain convenience for the whole year.

But!

We can only use the property that we can only lose at the moment and misappropriate the income that has not yet been received in order to plan for the future. Once an accident or misfortune occurs, we will not be able to make ends meet, and we will often fall into a greater crisis."

You don't know that's called debt management. Zhao Zheng already looks down on Lu Buwei. This number one businessman in the Warring States Period will definitely lose money to his grandma's family in front of capitalists who are good at empty-handed wolves.

Zhao Zheng said "willfully": "Then let's wait until the 'accident', 'change' and 'crisis' mentioned by the Prime Minister appear before we discuss it."

Lu Buwei didn't want Zhao Zheng to step into the trap, and naturally he wanted Zhao Zheng to take over the whole situation. Anyway, he had fulfilled the purpose of admonishing him. If there was a thunderstorm in the future, he would not be implicated in any case.

The news that the Qin State is about to overhaul its water conservancy also makes the six countries breathe a sigh of relief. The tiger and wolf Qin will probably not send troops. There will be no need to fight this year, and they can live a peaceful year.

But this was just the beginning. For the next three years, the Qin State was uncharacteristically no longer engaged in foreign affairs. Instead, it continued to diligently repair its internal affairs, and each of its various wonders and buildings became more exaggerated.

After Zhao Zheng "came to power", eye-catching and sexy operations can be said to have continued to emerge, such as unifying measurements, determining dimensions, etc.

What makes the Six Kingdoms strange is that with such a large-scale construction project and a waste of money and people, the Qin State not only did not decline and become weak, but instead prospered and its national power flourished.

The most famous of them are Chidao and Straight Road. Judging from the specifications of the roads, Chidao is equivalent to today's national highway, while Straight Road is equivalent to today's expressway.

Especially the Qinzhi Road, which took the country's national strength and took three years to successfully complete, connecting the imperial capital Xianyang directly to the main checkpoints in various places.
