Chapter 459: There is a plan
And at this moment, Li Er, who was joking with the eldest grandson queen in the Lizheng Palace, received an urgent report!
"What's going on?"
Li Er looked at Wang De, who came in in a hurry, and asked suspiciously.
"The old slave doesn't know it, it's an urgent report sent by the soldiers guarding the city!"
Wang De respectfully handed over the booklet in his hand.
"Dozens of ministers from the DPRK and China gathered out of the city overnight, I am afraid that there is a plot!"
As soon as he saw the text on the homepage, Li Er couldn't help frowning.
"Haha......!"
But when he saw the list behind him, he couldn't help laughing.
The eldest grandson queen and Wang De who watched it were stunned!
What's wrong with this emperor?
One will frown and the other will laugh!
"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?"
The eldest grandson queen, who couldn't help but be curious, blinked her beautiful eyes lightly, and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that the civil and military ministers gathered outside the city, and the city defenders came to report!"
Li Er's words were light, but after hearing these words, Empress Changsun and Wang De couldn't help but gasp.
You must know that in this case, even an emperor has to wonder if they are plotting something, but the emperor is so calm that even they can't help but worry about it!
"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, don't be careless!"
Empress Eldest Sun raised her eyebrows and reminded worriedly.
"Don't worry, this leader is our good son-in-law and Dai Guan!"
Li Er was afraid that she would be worried, so he stopped selling Guanzi.
"Oh......! That's good! ”
Hearing that it was Zhao Yin who took the lead, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although this kid usually looks like a fool, he is still very measured in his work!
In fact, when Li Ergang saw the homepage, he was also a little worried, but when he saw the names of Zhao Yin and Dai Guan, he instantly understood.
This kid should be busy with the train IPO, and I can't help but give him a thumbs up in my heart.
"You go down first!"
Li Er waved at Wang De.
"Yes!"
Wang De also bowed back with interest.
"The pony has recently developed something called a train, which can travel thousands of miles a day if you fill it with coal and water!"
When it came to the train, Li Er's eyes lit up and he told as if he were offering a treasure.
"Really?"
Empress Eldest Sun's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
"I've really seen it myself, although it's not particularly fast, but I don't need to rest, I can go day and night!"
"That's a good thing!"
"But ......!"
Li Er hesitated for a moment and continued: "This train can't walk on an ordinary road, it must have a special track, and the cost of this track is very high, so the horse came up with a way to raise shares!" ”
"Then Your Majesty means that this time Yin'er took hundreds of officials out of the city for the purpose of offering shares?"
After his dialing, Empress Eldest Sun immediately understood.
"That's right, as long as the railroad tracks are built, the train can be put into use, not only to carry people, but also to carry goods!"
Li Er nodded with satisfaction.
"If I have such an artifact, wouldn't my Tang Dynasty be more stable?"
Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Er excitedly, and was very curious about the train in her heart.
If he could, he would like to go out of town and see it!
"I also bought 20% of the shares, haha......!"
Li Er laughed heartily.
"Didn't you say that Yin'er was financing? Why is it easy for the imperial court to pay for it? ”
Empress Eldest Sun was puzzled again.
"Haha, no, I didn't pay a penny, so I came out with the word Zhenguan, and I accounted for half of the shares!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Er adoringly, and couldn't help but make his mood even more beautiful.
……
Outside Chang'an City, after a group of ministers got off their horses, they all gathered around the locomotive, some looked up, and some slapped the body of the train.
"Master Horse, this guy is indeed big, but the old man has been observing for a long time, and he can't see where to pull the goods!"
Wei Zheng walked around the locomotive and found that except for a small room that could accommodate a few people, there was no place to pull goods, and he questioned at the moment.
"This is called a locomotive, it is only used for experiments, and after the railway is repaired, it will be brought on the carriages, each carriage can carry one hundred and twenty people, and the number of carriages depends on the demand, thirty or fifty cars can be used, and there is no problem in pulling goods!"
Zhao Yin explained with a smile.
"It's so powerful!"
Hearing his words, everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect this train to pull so many people.
"Master Pony, everything is ready, just wait for your order, and the train can start!"
Just then, a craftsman came running over and gave his hand to report.
"Let's get started......!"
Zhao Yin nodded with satisfaction, and then said to all the ministers: "All go back, the train starts by a steam engine, and this steam engine is still in the testing stage, for the sake of safety, all the unrelated people retreat!" ”
When the craftsman received the order, he began to light a fire to boil water, and in a short time a column of smoke came out of the exhaust pipe.
"Uh......h Woo......! ”
The whistle of the train has always sounded, and many officials were taken aback.
Only a few officials who watched with Li Er during the day were still calm, and even scolded them in their hearts for being dirt buns!
After the whistle, the train started slowly.
"You really don't need a horse, you can run by yourself!"
"Oh my God, such a big guy, you can walk on your own?"
"Didn't you listen to the master of the horse? It's not on its own, coal is needed! ”
……
Looking at the train that was gradually moving away, the ministers began to talk one after another.
"Quick, get on the horse, we'll chase after you!"
Yu Chigong had the experience of the last time and took the lead in shouting.
The ministers first shook their heads for a moment, and then they all turned over and chased after them.
"Isn't this train running a little slow?"
One of the ministers looked at the speeding train and asked suspiciously.
"No matter how slow the train is, he doesn't need to rest, he can travel day and night, but not the horses!"
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at him and said angrily.
"Yes, if you ride a horse, don't say that the horse is tired, people are also tired, but the train is different, the driving is very smooth, people will not only not feel tired when sitting in it, maybe they can also sleep!"
Dai Xuan explained while riding a horse.
"Now this is just the first train, and it will be gradually reformed in the future, and the speed will be faster and faster!"
Zhao Yin didn't bother to explain, and only said that he said it simply.
When the conditions can be reached in the future, let alone speeding up, it is not impossible to build a high-speed railway!
"That's not bad right now!"
The eldest grandson Wuji watched the train again and thought that the train had unlimited prospects.
"No, the old man still has to invest a million shares, no matter how you say it, you can't fall behind the old yin, haha......!"
Cheng Yanjin thought for a moment and laughed.
"No way!"
"We don't agree!"
……
However, as soon as his voice fell, he was immediately opposed by the ministers.
"You old people, you just can't see the old man making money, right? Or you add money! ”
Cheng Yanjin looked unhappy.
"Okay, don't argue, it's just announced that the financing is over, no one should increase the price!"
Seeing that Cheng Yanjin had already rolled up his sleeves and had the intention of fighting, Zhao Yin hurriedly persuaded him.
"Can the pony make the train run again? I haven't seen it yet, and it's gone! ”
Cheng Yanjin's request was rejected, and he was a little unhappy, and planned to find a psychological balance in other things.
And the others also looked at Zhao Yin with blank eyes, hoping to see the train again.
"No, this train can't turn around, and when the rails are built in the future, two locomotives will be installed, and you can look at it and sit at will!"
Zhao Yin said with a smile.
So everyone had no choice but to give up and rode back to Chang'an.
After returning to the city, everyone returned to their respective mansions, and only Dai Xuan went straight to the imperial city!
Today's financing is going very well, and he has to report to Li Er quickly.
……
"What? This group of old people is so rich, and they took out more than 20 million yuan at once? ”
Hearing Dai Xuan's report, Li Er was really taken aback.
"More than 20 million yuan is still the initial number, and later Eguo Gong wanted to raise additional financing twice, but they were all rejected ......!"
Dai Xuan said with a slight meaning: "If you are allowed to add funds, it is estimated that there will be 30 million yuan!" ”
"So much? How much does my Datang pay in a year! These people can come up with so much! ”
Li Er pouted.
"yes!"
Dai Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
The eldest grandson Wuji is two million yuan, and it is estimated that the family background is far more than this number.
Unlike him, if he takes out all his belongings, he only has 300,000 yuan.
After reporting the matter, he left with his hands, leaving only Li Er and Empress Changsun.
"Guanyin, I earned it again this time!"
Li Er rubbed his hands and said happily.
"What do you mean?"
Empress Eldest Sun was very puzzled.
"The budget for the construction of the railway is 15 million yuan, but this financing has been more than 20 million yuan, and the rest is all from the state treasury, haha......!"
Li Er is very happy now, with these millions of yuan, he can benefit the people a lot.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After understanding the reason, Empress Eldest Sun was also very happy.
And Zhao Yin was also happy in the Horse Mansion because of the more than 5 million yuan he got for nothing.
The ministers who had invested in the shares were also rejoicing that they had invested in a family heirloom.
Everyone's happy!
