It's not unreasonable for Cao Cao to say this.

It would be very serious if the imperial court cooperated with merchants and had money and interest exchanges.

First of all, the nobles would never agree, and secondly, the common people would not agree either.

Because during the Three Kingdoms period, the status of merchants was very low. They were a group of people who would do anything for their own benefit.

If businessmen paid to work for the court and the court gave them benefits, wouldn't it be like using money to buy power?

Bai Feng naturally knew this and said with a smile:

"King Wei, please listen to what I have to say."

"This benefit does not involve any power, so King Wei can rest assured."

"For example, which merchant built the road? A stone monument should be erected on the side of the road with words commending the merchant. Anyone who wants to take this road can see it."

"In this way, the merchant will have a reputation, and others will not be able to say anything about it."

"Second, after merchants build roads, they can be exempted from taxes for a certain year, so outsiders still can't say anything."

"As if they paid their taxes in advance, the merchants will be very happy."

"Of course, it will only be about two years at most."

"Third, and the most critical point, businessmen are seeking profits. We must give them legal channels to fight for profits. This does not mean giving them power."

"It's on this road that a small shop opens every certain distance."

"This shop can be called a service area. It can have horses, fodder, food and water supplies. It is similar to a post station."

"In this case, even if the merchants are not exempted from taxes, they will definitely be happy."

"This is a huge profit and a good thing that benefits the people."

"Imitating the Qin Straight Road, let's call it a highway for the time being. After the public road is built, there will definitely be a large number of merchants or people traveling on it."

"Once this happens, fodder, horses, food and water will become hard needs. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell them, and it will also be convenient for the people."

"It's just that the prices charged must be standardized. Once any price is found to be higher than the usual price, severe punishment will be imposed."

Bai Feng said so much in one breath, which shocked Cao Cao.

Good guy!

Cao Cao never thought that he could do this!

"Great, great, great!"

Cao Cao suddenly said excitedly:

"The idea you mentioned is really wonderful, and it is indeed possible to implement it!"

"If that's true, wouldn't it be possible to build this road without spending a penny?"

Bai Feng nodded slightly and said:

"Not only that, you can also win the hearts and minds of the people. As long as you benefit the people, the people will think of the imperial court."

In fact, Bai Feng copied the knowledge of modern highways.

Why not use this extremely useful mode?

Then, Cao Cao nodded slightly and said:

"It's just that there is something a little unclear about Gu."

"This Qin Zhidao requires a lot of financial resources. I'm afraid ordinary merchants can't afford it. What if no merchant is willing to pay such a large price?"

I have to say that this is indeed a difficult problem, and it is a difficult problem to solve.

The repair of Qin Zhidao used a large amount of gravel and gravel, which was not only expensive, but also extremely difficult to build. The money and manpower spent on the construction could hardly be expressed in numbers.

Bai Feng smiled calmly and said:

"This is very easy to solve."

"As long as you create an item to replace the gravel and gravel, it will not only be laid quickly and efficiently, but also very cheap."

"This thing is cement."

Hearing the word cement, Cao Cao suddenly became confused:

"This...what is this cement?"

"It's really unheard of to be alone."

Bai Feng smiled and said:

"Cement is very strong and is made from gravel, limestone and gravel mixed together with water, a very soft fluid at first."

"But after it dries, it is extremely strong and can resist the erosion of salt water or fresh water. Almost once it is built, it can hardly be repaired once a year."

"Not only that, this cement can also be used to build houses and so on."

After saying that, Bai Feng fumbled around in his arms, and then exchanged a detailed diagram of cement in the system, changed it into the text of the Three Kingdoms period, took it out, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, I couldn't understand it at all.

"King Wei, you can give this to Ma Jun first. With Ma Jun's strength, it is not difficult to make cement."

"As long as you follow this drawing, it can be easily made."

"This limestone is not difficult to get. You can dig it in the mountains."

"I have marked all the mountains with limestone during this period. Please check it with King Wei."

After saying that, Bai Feng took something out of his arms again and handed a chapter of the map to Cao Cao.

This map was naturally redeemed by Bai Feng from the mall.

I have to say that after the system remodeling, the newly added system mall is very easy to use.

There is almost everything inside, and there are many functional things, such as mountain distribution maps, herbal distribution maps, etc.

These things will definitely come in handy in the future.

Cao Cao was immediately overjoyed and laughed:

"Sir, sir, you will never let me down!"

"If it weren't for sir, I'd be afraid that Gu Gu would never be able to come up with such an ingenious method for the rest of his life!"

"It's really hard work, sir!"

Bai Feng cupped his hands and said:

"The King of Wei is serious. After this cement is made, it can also be used to make houses and be taught to various states and counties."

"Houses made of cement are not only extremely strong, but they will not be damaged no matter how they are washed away by rain."

Cao Cao immediately said:

"Okay! Gu will make arrangements immediately!"

"Sir, you really helped me a lot!"

"Here, let's have a drink sir!"

At this time, Li Cunxiao and others were completely confused.

Bai Feng said so much during this period, but they didn't understand a word.

After all, it involves knowledge blind spots.

But after hearing this, they all raised their glasses and drank together.

There were cheers and laughter throughout the camp.

Cao Cao was extremely satisfied with this and immediately informed Ma Jun to start research and development.

Once this road is completed, it will be extremely useful whether it is marching south or north, whether it is attacking the Sun-Liu Alliance or dealing with surrounding alien races!

It is obvious how useful Qin Zhidao is for transportation.

However, this road made of cement is more violent than Qinzhidao!

Not afraid of rain erosion and rarely needs repairs!

And the cost is extremely cheap, which saves a lot of money compared to simply paving with gravel and other materials!

Things like limestone are almost everywhere in the places marked by Bai Feng, and they are not valuable at all.

As long as the roads are built well, the entire Wei Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future!
