Li Zhi nodded, "I understand what you mean. The money is in the hands of the people and then flows back to your hands through transactions. It's like the total amount has not changed after the water flows intersect. But you have to pay more taxes when you return to your hands. The money you get is actually less."

"So you need to build a road." Gu Qing said.

Gu Qing must have a purpose in building roads. Li Zhi would never think that Gu Qing spent money just to spend money.

Li Tai was taking a group of students from the academy to help Gu Qing. The students of the academy could also work part-time to earn some income. Some things have become a tacit understanding. Whenever the factory and the Maritime Trade Department encounter any problems, the academy students could come to help. Just like the procedures that the Maritime Trade Department has been screening at layers of time when recruiting civil servants, the academy students would have to be handled. When the factory encountered some difficulties, such as mechanics or some theoretical knowledge that they did not understand, they could be allowed to be carried out by the academy students.

Students can earn a considerable income in addition to their studies.

Li Tai sat lazily under the shade of the tree and fanned himself with the wind, "The weather is so hot today."

"Indeed." Yang Sheng also said lazily.

"Your daughter has become much more honest in the academy recently, not as naughty as before." Li Tai said.

"When the child grows up, he will understand some rules." Yang Sheng said with a smile, "It's my own daughter. I can see that she is obedient in the academy now, but she still yearns for joining the army and wants to become a female general."

"I can ask Su Dingfang, Cheng Chumo and the others to help." Li Tai said to Yang Sheng, "But it was a helpless move for girls to join the army at the time. Your daughter now wants to join the army and fight even if she wants to join the army."

"Of course I know." Yang Sheng sighed and said, "I have told my daughter that if there is no war, she will get rid of the Japanese pirates and collect heroes from all walks of life and ask the Tang Dynasty to attack her."

Li Tai almost laughed out loud.

"You said this is a mess." Yang Sheng bit the grassroots in his mouth, "I thought about finding a son-in-law who can control her in the future. Just thinking about me would have a headache."

A civilian hurriedly ran to Gu Qing and said, "Mr. Gu Hou, there is a river in front of the road. Should you go around the river to repair it?"

After hearing this, the short man spread the map and looked at it without waiting for Gu Qing to speak, "If you want to bypass the river to repair it, it will take more than half a month."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Qing continued, "Build a bridge there directly. If you want money, find me if you want someone."

"Okay! Let's find someone to build a bridge."

The short man smiled bitterly, and he was so happy that he decided to build a bridge without even thinking about it.

When the road is long, you will encounter various problems, and there will be constant civilians riding horses to explain the situation.

"Mr. Hou, there is a fork in the road leading to Luoshui, divided into three directions."

"Then let's repair it all along the three forks!" Gu Qing said with a wave of his hand.

"Mr. Hou, the price of stones has increased again, and it is said that it cannot be supplied."

"Damn it, is there any more! Are these guys trying to slap me?" Gu Qing waved his hand again and said, "Tell me, Gu Qing, I, have paid 100,000 yuan! Is it for me to buy all the stone sellers around Chang'an? Is it true that I, Gu Qing, have no money? I buy all the workshops with stones, buy stones and raise the price, and I will buy their workshops directly!"

"What if they don't sell it?"

"Then we won't buy their stones, we'll buy other stone workshops."

"Mr. Hou, it's not good!" Another civilian ran and said, "Someone bought all the stone workshops first."

"Damn, who did it?" Gu Qing almost drew his sword.

"Mr. Hou!" said the civil servant again, "The Li family in Zhaojun bought all the stone workshops around Chang'an."

"Okay, Li Ran, let me get rid of the firewood, right?"

"Mr. Hou!" said the civil servant who had just gone to ask for the price. "The Li family in Zhaojun gave all the stone workshops they bought to Mr. Gu. This is the land deed."

"What?" Gu Qing came back to his senses and was stunned. He took the land deeds one by one. When did Li Ran be so generous? Something was wrong. This woman was holding it in her heart. Gu Qing asked Fan Jian beside her, "Where is Li Ran?"

"I'll accompany my wife to Ganye Temple." Fan Jian replied.

"Sure enough, this woman has planned one hand after another." Gu Qing touched her chin, "She is kind, we must accept it, and take all the stones. Anyway, they have already given it to us. Don't be idle."

"yes!"

"Master Hou!" The fat monk hurriedly ran and said, "Several villages said that they also need to build roads, saying that they can pay their own money and don't need our money."

"Okay." Gu Qing nodded, "Anyway, we don't have to buy stones anymore. We can build roads for the villagers and give them all the more."

A large group of villagers applauded.

Li Zhi pulled Gu Qing to the side and whispered, "Gu Qing, aren't you afraid that there will be any explanation in the court when you do this?"

"What's the point."

"Are you really confused or fake?" Li Zhi continued, "What do you think of the royal family?"

"Do I need to give Li Chengqian a face? What I, Gu Qing, want to do, depends on his face?" Gu Qing said to Li Zhi, "Even if he sues your father, I can stand. What? I built a road for him for nothing. He was happy and didn't have time to bite me back! He isn't that stupid yet."

Li Zhi nodded slightly. Li Chengqian was indeed not so stupid, nor should he be so stupid! If Li Chengqian was embarrassed by this matter, what would the people under Gu Qing think of Li Chengqian? Gu Hou, who was rich and wealthy, was kind-hearted to build roads for others, and who would not be happy with money? If Li Chengqian wanted such a large fortification to stop because of the court, it would cause many people to be disgusted. To put it darkly, these people who built roads were all hostages of Gu Qing. Li Chengqian and Gu Qing could not get along with him. Who would buy Li Chengqian's account in the future?

Li Zhi also believed that Gu Qing would never be short of money. This time, Gu Qing would only have more money after opening a branch in Japan and returned from Hai Trade.

It seemed like everything was taken for granted when I thought about this, but then I thought about what Li Zhi always felt that he was ignoring something. He was thinking about the breeze blew across his head and woke up. He almost forgot the most important thing, which was the money house.
