Capítulo 293: Chapter 292: Guan He's Doubts

If it were just a concern about the cost of building roads, Ye Xinyan, with her modern sensibilities, actually had some ideas.

She suggested, "If it's a matter of financial difficulties, Lord Jiang could consider using the method of borrowing, taking out loans at low interest rates from wealthy households or moneylenders with silver taels, and repaying them with the increased revenue the county town would gain after the roads are completed. Moreover, constructing thoroughfares will undoubtedly stimulate business around them, so Lord Jiang could also promise to build shops along the sides of the roads as compensation, thus resolving a large sum of silver."

For Jiang Yifan, this was yet another proposal as stunning as a clap of thunder.
