Although the Tang monarchs and ministers were a little confused because they didn't understand this kind of shareholding system, it didn't prevent them from realizing the huge benefits contained in it!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that once you win the shares, it is a source of wealth that can be passed on!

And the main thing is that the nobles present suddenly understood.

Why are some people able to receive invitations from Emperor Wuji, while others are not...... What a penny meeting!

If you look at the people at the scene, you will know which one does not have children worshipping under the Wuji Gate? and which one of them did not buy the new Chang'an real estate in [Financial Gate]?

And those who are qualified to send disciples to study in Wuji Gate are all recommended by His Majesty to Emperor Wuji, to put it bluntly, everyone is in the same boat, the same camp of forces!

In this way, it will create an impression on those who are excluded that only those who have joined this camp and purchased the new Chang'an property are eligible to participate in it!

As long as the shares are in their hands, those outsiders who want to get the shares in their hands will make the value of these "stocks" continue to rise, and they don't even need to wait until the end of the dividend period to recover their investment, or even make a big profit!

"Emperor, I don't know what this 'company' means?"

But for the sake of insurance, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly asked as a representative: "What is the meaning of 'shares'?"

"The company, dozens of businessmen and capital operations, out of the cooperation, the return of the cost of the equal, its bureau large and linked. ”

Bai Yuqi said with a smile: "As for the shares, it is naturally the amount of shares that investors invest in the company, simply put, the more shares there are, the more dividends there will be." ”

figured out the ingenious magnates in it, and couldn't help but move, and their eyes couldn't help but redden!

To participate in the shares, to invest or not to invest, that is a must! to buy as much as the production capacity!

All kinds of details, naturally, there is no need for Bai Yuqi, the Wuji Emperor, to explain to everyone one by one, and naturally there are [Financial Gate] disciples headed by Ma Zhou to explain to the nobles who are interested in participating in the shares.

Li Shimin looked at the noisy scene, and said that it is a lie not to envy, jealousy, and hate, so there is nothing to do with him here?

When he thought of the endless tolls after the road was completed, his heart was dripping blood, how good would it be for him to belong to him?

Although the imperial court has a share, it is the imperial court's and not his Li Shimin's, and he can't take it out and spend it.

He also wants to participate in a share, but the problem is that the emperor's family has no surplus food!

If you want to monopolize the income from this toll, you have to invest the corresponding capital, but who calls him poor?

If you want funds without funds, if you want technology without technology, as a royal family, you can't compete with the people...... Li Shimin suddenly felt that he was so boring as an emperor!

But thinking about the truth that Bai Yuqi had explained to him before, he felt a little better, the whole world belonged to his Li family, what else was there to be dissatisfied with?

Isn't the construction of that road also serving his Li family? Think about the blossoming flowers of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and think about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the future...... Well, it's mushy!

Looking at Li Shimin's changing face, Bai Yuqi smiled so much that he didn't make a sound, but discussed the follow-up matters with Feng Zhidai, who was sitting on the side.

The first project to be started was to open up the southern grain route to ensure the supply of grain, so the first to start was the "Inland Water Transport Joint Stock Company".

During Bai Yuqi's retreat, he was not idle except for cultivation.

Through the systematic search of the well-read books, I found a lot of useful things, and after studying them, I passed them on to the disciples of Tiangongmen for batch production.

For example, steam engines, such as locomotives, such as ships, in the case of detailed drawings, there is no problem in using [metal dissolution] and [shaping] to manually produce a batch of finished products.

A large dock and wharf were built on the edge of Weishui, and after a large number of bamboo and iron materials were transported into it, they were molded into flat-bottomed sand tugboats by groups of craftsmen to imitate later generations, and parked in the wharf for later use.

Because of Tiangongmen's unscientific manufacturing methods and a full set of perfect drawings, it is not difficult to manufacture a sand tugboat with a displacement of more than thousands of tons.

With a steam engine, it is not difficult to make a steam-powered ship, but it is difficult to solve the problem that the diamond bamboo material is not fireproof.

Therefore, as a last resort, Bai Yuqi had no choice but to use a steel towing boat made of a small amount of iron mined from Zhongnan Mountain as the power to tow the flat-bottomed sand towing boat.

As a fuel, Bai Yuqi has already sent people to nearby mines to mine coal, and he has a lot of reserves, and there is no problem in supplying it to the Caoyun company in a short time.

At that time, coal supply terminals will be set up along the way, and coal will be collected at nearby mining sites, or hoarded by water transportation to ensure the fuel supply of steam turbines.

What Bai Yuqi discussed with Feng Zhidai was that Lingnan Feng's shareholding in Caoyun Company and the purchase of a large number of grain ships.

The kind of sand tugboat with a displacement of 3,000 tons is not very expensive because it has no power.

At that time, it will be traded to the Lingnan Feng family in the form of barter, converted into grain, and then hauled back.

The steam tugboat, because it needs to solve the problem of fuel supply and maintenance and repair, has no intention of selling it for the time being, and is directly listed in the name of Caoyun Company.

Once the land transportation, rail transportation, and waterway transportation system are formed, it is foreseeable that Datang will enter an explosive stage of development, and even directly leapfrog into the industrial age because of the birth of the steam engine!

When the nobles and the disciples of the [Financial Gate] negotiated and signed the investment intention, Bai Yuqi, who knew that the general trend had been achieved, smiled and instructed the disciples of the Ding Sect who had been preparing for a long time to serve wine and food, and invited the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers to drink and feast as a celebration.

The next day, Bai Yuqi and 100,000 Tiangongmen workers gathered on the banks of the Weishui River.

Li Shimin led the members of the Li clan to invite the auspicious "Purple Qi Donglai Sacred Cow Stone" from the temple.

After a sacrifice and a ceremony to announce the heavens, Bai Yuqi stood on the altar under the watchful eyes of the people in the city, and pressed his hand on the purple fire on the head of the "Sacred Cow Stone".

After concentrating slightly, the position of the Heavenly Craftsman Apprentice who had scattered in all directions appeared in his mind, and Bai Yuqi shouted: "Get up!"

In the midst of the rumbling earth shaking and shaking, a right-angled trapezoidal pyramid-like majestic building with a height of 50 meters and a width of more than 100 meters at the bottom suddenly rose from the earth, and along the bank of the Weishui River to the end of the line of sight on both sides, it extended out endlessly in an arc!
