Hearing that Li Su, the king of Shu, actually agreed so happily, the urging machine actually felt uncomfortable.

In his imagination, the King of Shu would definitely shirk in every possible way, and would not even agree to come down at all.

Because in the opinion of the urging machine, Li Su, the king of Shu, must have prepared all kinds of back-ups.

Even, even if the five surnames and seven wangs no longer do the business of mirrors.

This king of Shu is not worried about finding his next home.

And the five surnames and seven hopes, it is impossible to really give up the mirror business.

But what the urging machine didn't expect was that the King of Shu agreed so quickly.

As a result, the urging machine was extremely unaccustomed to it, and in the face of the King of Shu's request for help from their five surnames and seven hopes, he agreed without much thought.

The same is true for representatives of several other companies.

In their opinion, building roads should have been a matter for the two families.

Even, after the road is built, the biggest beneficiary is their five surnames and seven wang families.

Therefore, in the construction of the road, it is really normal for the two families to contribute.

Next, Li Su proposed to build a railway from Yizhou to Chang'an.

Hearing the word railway, several representatives of Zhiji and Wujia Qiwang all showed a blank look on their faces.

What is the railway that the king of Shu said?

Is this road paved with iron?

It's just incredible.

Anyway, they couldn't believe it, it was completely beyond their knowledge.

Perhaps, this is a metaphor for the King of Shu.

Next, several families divided labor on the construction of the railway.

How to build and how to plan the matter will naturally be left to Li Su, the king of Shu.

The raw materials are also solved by the King of Shu himself.

And the five surnamed Qiwang and other families are responsible for manpower, as well as some money.

Each family will need to pay a few millions.

As for manpower, each family needs to be responsible for the manpower, and there are as many as tens of thousands.

This kind of dedication, even for the five surnames and seven hopes, is a lot of investment.

But the price is well worth it.

They believe that when a road is built, the mirror can bring them at least a hundredfold return.

With such a big return, the investment is totally worth it.

And they have made such a large investment, I believe that the king of Shu will have no reason to regret it at that time.

And for Li Su, the five surnames and seven hopes are so generous, which is also a bit unexpected for him.

With these manpower and financial resources, the construction period of this railway can be greatly shortened.

Five surnames and seven hopes, really good people!

After the plan was decided, the construction of the railway was also put on the agenda.

Next, the Taiyuan Wang family proposed to cooperate with the King of Shu on the salt industry.

The Taiyuan Wang family originally controlled the salt industry of the Tang Dynasty.

And now, the king of Shu has mastered a new method of refining.

It can be refined to produce purer table salt.

The purity of these experiments is much better than the salt boiled by their royal family.

Fortunately, the salt mine of the King of Shu is not large.

At present, it is only sold in Yizhou and a few nearby states, which has not had much impact on Taiyuan Wang.

However, this salt industry is one of the pillars of the Taiyuan Wang's economy.

In the salt industry, there is absolutely no room for problems.

They have to take this new technology into their own hands.

In the first step, the Wang family is ready to see if they can secretly purify the method of salt in their hands in the name of cooperation.

However, this salt is a big weapon for Li Yu to deal with the five surnames and seven hopes in the future.

How could Li Su hand over the method of refining salt to the Taiyuan royal family?

What's more, what the Wang family wants must be the exclusive agency of salt.

After the Wang family gets these refined salts, they will definitely sell them at a high price.

And Li Su is not ready to use salt to make huge profits at all.

Therefore, Li Su refused to cooperate with the Wang family on the grounds that Yizhou's salt production could only meet the needs of the surrounding Yizhou.

And the Taiyuan royal family can only give up.

In fact, the original plan of the Taiyuan Wang family was to purchase the purification technology of the King of Shu at their own expense.

But now, the contact person of the Taiyuan Wang family did not make this request.

Because he found that it was impossible for the King of Shu to sell them the salt purification technology.

If they make this request now, I'm afraid it will block the way in the future.

In that case, it's better not to mention it.

In the future, there will always be a chance to obtain the purification technology of table salt.

……

The manpower of several major families was actually in place very quickly.

The construction of the railway was once again on the agenda.

As for the construction of the railway, the preliminary work can only be presided over by Li Su himself.

Because, in this world, only Li Su has seen a railway and knows how to build a railway.

First of all, the graph route has to be selected.

This doesn't require much exploration.

It is enough to directly borrow from the main railway line from Yizhou to Chang'an in later generations.

Just one exploration can save a year or two of effort.

Next, it is necessary to clear out the sections that need to be laid with railways, and some preparatory work in the early stage must be done.

The laying of the railway, as long as the section is good, does not need to be cleaned how wide the place is.

The section is cleared, then small stones are laid on it, and after flattening, sleepers and rails are laid on it.

That's the general process.

However, the early work, because everyone has never done this before, the early progress is very slow.

However, with the progress of time, the progress of this work has gradually accelerated.

In particular, the process of laying stones is very fast as the work becomes more proficient.

As for the rails, they are all made in the steelmaking plant, using the open-hearth and converter steelmaking methods.

In order to speed up the laying of railroad tracks, Li Su deliberately built several steel mills next to the road after all.

In this way, the distance of the railway is greatly shortened, and the efficiency can be greatly improved at once.

However, when a section of railroad track is laid.

Whether it's those workers, or the representatives of the five surnames and seven hopes, or others.

Almost anyone who sees a successfully laid section of the track will be dumbfounded.

Is this the railway that the King of Shu wants to lay?

It's such a narrow road, how do you go?

Even if you pass the car, you can't get through it at all?

What is the use of this built railway, which can neither pass cars nor people?

The representative of the five surnames and seven wangs, seeing that the railway was built like this, as one of the funders, could not bear it at that time.

They couldn't help but find Li Su, the king of Shu, and asked him, why did he build the road like this?

If you cultivate like this, how can you still walk?

How will their glass be delivered?

Faced with the reproach of the five surnames and seven hopes, Li Su only felt that it was difficult to explain such a profound question to them.

He could only promise them that when the railroad was repaired, he would be able to transport all the glass.
