Your Highness had to contract the inn, and promised not to use public funds, and rely entirely on investment and operation by the inner government. Ying Jieyan knew that Your Highness had some spare money, which was a customary allocation of part of the confiscated stolen goods for the prince's personal use, which could cost about 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. He estimated that with His Highness's character, he would definitely gain something in Guangzhou, but he didn't know how much money he had secretly made, so he would definitely use the money to invest.

Although Ying Jieyan did not go through business, he was not optimistic about this business, because according to the old example of 30 miles of Yiyi Post, there were 70 inns on the more than 2,000 miles of post road, and the investment was very huge. Qiongzhou was sparsely populated and densely populated, and transportation was mainly water transportation. He probably couldn't even keep his money by doing business in business. He felt that his highness's intelligence could not be able to calculate this, but he insisted on this, probably to use the money from the inner palace to subsidize the general's mansion and to enable the post road to open as soon as possible. Thinking of this, he naturally felt a little moved.

Zhao Bing didn't think so. What he did was like contracting a service area on Gaolu. After the road was opened, business travel would gradually increase. At that time, what he needed was not only food and accommodation, but also many related services, such as car repair, warehousing, entertainment, trading venues, and even credit services. Of course, they were all paid services. It may be a loss in front of him, but in the long run, it would definitely be huge profits. Even if he was asked to invest in the construction of the inn, it would be profitable. As for the passenger flow, he was not worried, and he would only move here to work if he didn't do it next year.

But Zhao Bing also knew that the inn was actually a business that burned the country's money. The inns in the Song Dynasty were divided into several different levels and levels. The national level had high-end welcome hotels, which were entertained by envoys from neighboring countries. These high-end hotels had luxurious equipment and sometimes held state banquets here to host envoys from various countries and ministers in the court. The local level government guesthouses were also very gorgeous. From the outside, they looked like magnificent temples, or like a stylish government official, or the residences of wealthy families. There were all kinds of internal equipment, which made the tourists happy.

According to regulations, the entertainment expenses for the officials who are staying in are fixed. There are corresponding regulations on what to eat, drink, and how long they live. The time limit is to be fired out. However, due to the government, officials are taking advantage of it and relaxing the conditions at will, so that the individuals can take advantage of it, but the country has to pay for it. In the late Ming Dynasty, it was because the inns were huge, so the country could not afford it, and they had to abolish the inns, which forced Li Zicheng to lose his country. Although this was not the main reason, it was also one of the inns.

Zhao Bing is now the master of his family. He has an incomparable advantage as a rulemaker and executor. He can not only supervise the implementation, but also formulate rules to save expenses. He can also use the inn to collect intelligence, master government, business and people's sentiments, find a legal identity for the intelligence personnel of the Affairs Bureau, and earn some private money for himself. Regardless of whether he or she has already given Yingjie a strict vent, he thinks that he will consider his suggestions.

Rebuilding the post road is a major event, and a large number of civil servants need to be used. All this needs to be discussed in detail after the governments at all levels have completed the rectification. It is not a matter of rush. However, they still wanted to make a business and implemented it immediately after the time is ripe. First, the construction of the post road is funded by the General Administration. After the route is demarcated, each prefecture and county are responsible for the sections within the jurisdiction, and the completion is carried out within a time limit and put into use as soon as possible. Secondly, the general post road is still set up in the prefecture city, the prefecture has branch posts, and the county has stations. The principle is 30 miles away, and the regulations are also from high to low.

In addition, military soldiers are still responsible for delivering documents, and troops are stationed to protect the safety of post roads and business trips, and control the main traffic roads. At the same time, it is agreed that the post stations and buildings should be built on high grounds that are easy to observe and defend, building beacon towers, stockpiles and weapons, combining observation, reconnaissance, communication and security, making it a line of defense to fight against enemy invasions. If there is any problem, each shop can also provide reinforcements...

Then the topic naturally turned to the general's office. Zhao Bing and Ying Jieyan had reached a consensus on using Qiongzhou as the main defense direction. However, other directions are not impossible. Even the enemy will attack in several directions, so it is inevitable to garrison one place and lose sight of the other. Moreover, the distribution of Lidong states also requires large troops to be stationed to deter them, and pirates need to be cleared out. In addition, so many troops are stationed in one place, food, accommodation and supply are all problems, and it is imperative to station in various states.

Ying Jieyan believed that the front and central troops with the strongest combat effectiveness of the general's army were arranged in Qiongzhou. The left, right, and the back three armies were stationed in Changhua Army, Jiyang Army and Wan'an Army. At the same time, a part of the navy army was transferred to the three armies, and the water camps were established in order to guard against the enemy from the sea and eliminate pirates. In Guangzhou, the new army affiliated to Guangzhou was reorganized into one army or into other armies, and he also asked His Highness to give advice.

"Sir, I want to form a new army, which will be directly under the commander's mansion." Zhao Bing thought for a while, rubbed his nose and said.

"Oh, Your Highness already has a thousand personal troops, why do you still have to form a new army?" Ying Jieyan asked in confusion.

"Is there someone in the mansion who is wrong now that you want to build another army to prevent accidents?" Deng Guangjian also asked nervously.

"Two gentlemen, don't misunderstand. I am not doubting the generals or strengthening my personal army. Instead, I want to create a batch of new warships, form a single army, and play a miraculous effect as a surprise soldier." Zhao Bing explained with both hands.

"Oh, how many generals and soldiers do you need?" Ying Jieyan was not very surprised when he heard this, and asked casually.

"Each warship is equipped with more than 120 sailors and soldiers. It is planned to equip twenty warships, and three thousand are enough!" Zhao Bing was surprised. He was very curious that Ying Jieyan did not ask him carefully, so he asked how many men he needed. This plan was planned for a long time in his mind.

"I thought it was OK, but it would be fine if there were more people. I just hope that Your Highness would not hide his own personal information. The crossbows and rockets should also be distributed to the army to make them form an army." Ying Jieyan stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Haha, how could that happen!" Zhao Bing smiled awkwardly. Now the workshop for making new weapons is in the inner palace, and it is impossible for others to get involved. "It's not that I brag. As long as time allows, I can create something more powerful. The day I will be born will be shocked by ghosts and gods!"
