That's right, what are you worried about with Yang Qing's family involved?

There is no doubt about the ability of the protector to make money.

And this train was invented by him, and no one knows the value of this thing better than him, and since he is in charge, he will definitely make a lot of money. What's more, even if he doesn't make money, as long as his family participates, it is impossible to lose the money invested......

Well, they don't know what the dealer means.

They don't know what it means to be a participant in this kind of game.

That's the one with the scythe!

That's to cut leeks and collect IQ tax!

Of course, Yang Qing's purpose is not to use the bloody reality to teach the people of the Ming Dynasty a lesson in cutting leeks, and it is impossible to do this kind of thing in his capacity. But he would still personally take the lead in setting up railway companies, mining companies, and he would issue all kinds of stocks, and then speculate on those stocks to drive up coal, iron and railroad stocks to create a bubble. He will lead a carnival of capital, so that the hidden wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty will be attracted by the crazy rise in stock prices, like conches attracted by rotting corpses to drill out of the sand where they are hiding.

To put it bluntly, he is just stimulating the landlords and old wealth in Jiangnan to spend money, and simply spending money is emptying their money bags, and as for the 100,000-mile railway plan, it is all blowing, which is the same as some so-called high-tech stocks......

Of course, the railroad will still be repaired.

But it is impossible to have 100,000 miles in 20 years, and 100,000 miles in 100,000 years is probably possible.

But 100,000 miles in a hundred years is not attractive!

Which landlord would be crazy about the 100,000-mile railway in a hundred years? It is impossible for Yang Qing to live for another hundred years, who would be interested in what they are destined not to see? Then if you want them to pay for it, you have to shorten the time to what they can see!

Their enthusiasm must be mobilized.

Or rather, to mobilize their greed.

Let them be like moths to a fire, in the frenzied fire that burns in front of them.

Railway stocks will skyrocket, and the railway stocks issued by one yuan will skyrocket several times or even dozens of times, and all cities in Daming, every restaurant and teahouse, and every rich person's living room will sound the shouts of buying stocks. The fanaticism spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, like a poisonous haze, penetrating into everyone's nostrils, dominating their brains and sending them forward and onto the stock exchange of the Imperial Bank.

With their silver, of course.

Even if it has just been dug out of the ground, the silver that has been accumulated for hundreds of years by our ancestors.

Manipulating the stock market is such a trivial matter for a bookmaker of Yang Qing's level, it can really be said to be too simple, and those landlords and old fortunes will not see the risk, they only see the crazy rise of stocks, and only the increase in wealth figures. Then they will continue to buy stocks, even to the point of emptying their finances to buy stocks, and there is no doubt that the rubber crash has proved that they are defenseless in the face of this frenzied bubble. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were able to spend money for the rubber plantation in Nanyang, which was thousands of miles away, and they were crazy to pay for it, how could the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in this era not pay money for the visible railway?

Rubber stocks, that's really a mirror!

Those rubber companies basically didn't plant a single rubber seed when they issued stocks, but the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang still flocked to these stocks like being brained.

Yang Qing at least got the train up.

The oversized Thomas train in front of the Great Hall of the Four Peoples will be around the clock, but he has spent five years of painstaking efforts to build it, and most of the products used are crucible steel parts. If you calculate the cost he paid for this little train, it is almost piled up with three tons of gold, and even the lubricant is the highest grade castor oil. So the reliability is no problem, at least run for a few days without pressure, and occasionally stop to add coal and water when you overhaul it, you can ensure that it keeps running.

Next, a special passenger car will be hung up for people to experience for free.

In short, it's the best advertisement.

It will allow everyone to see the bright future of trains and railways, to see those spectacular pictures he painted, and to go crazy about it, to empty their purse bags for it.

And then......

It's crashed!

Their wealth is gone!

Their wealth has become the deposit in the treasury of Yang Qing's Imperial Bank, and all they have in their hands is stocks.

The silver is gone.

Inexplicably it just disappeared!

They had a bunch of stocks left in their hands, and they were still stocks that no one wanted, and although their railroad company was still there, the construction of the railroad was still far away. All kinds of construction difficulties will directly extinguish the fire of their enthusiasm, and then they can only hold the depreciated stocks, look at the empty money bags, and weep like those trapped stockholders.

But......

Fortunately, they still have the protector.

The Protector will not let them suffer, at least not let them suffer too much, so the Protector Guild will compensate them and minimize their losses in this disaster. For example, they will be issued with land reclamation certificates for the north, and with these reclamation certificates, they can go to the north to reclaim land rent-free for ten years.

What else?

It's not like the Lord Protector swallowed your money!

The Protector himself has lost a lot, the Protector himself has stocks, the Protector has lost more than you, even so, the Protector is still trying to make up for your losses, he has done so much for you, what are you not satisfied with? Don't you be grateful for such a holy lord Mingjun, do you still have the face to complain? If you lose money in business, can you still complain about protecting the country? In short, the Protector has done a lot for you, so accept this loss yourself!

The Lord Protector himself has no place to cry!

Then these land reclamation certificates will be issued to these landlords and old money, although this thing is of little use to them.

But......

Soon they will be useful.

Because the forty-meter broadsword of the Gongtian Law fell.

They want to rebel?

The money is emptied!

There is no money to resist a fart, the silver has been drained by this bubble, everyone is so poor that they cry, they don't need silver to resist! I can't afford to buy a gun without money! On the contrary, if you accept the public land law, you can not only get the land vouchers of the imperial court, especially the first actual payment of the land payment, but also have a piece of wasteland in the north that belongs to your own development waiting to be developed. In this case, if you accept the public land law, you can use the first amount of land money to buy slaves to go to the north to reclaim the land and build plantations, and no matter how much money the plantation can earn in the future, with those land vouchers paid in batches, they can still live a rich and easy life. And the railroad and mine stocks in their hands will also grow over time, gradually turning into real wealth.

After all, railways can really be built.

In fact, Yang Qing will start to really explore the line and prepare to build the railway next year.

Of course, it is not repaired to the northern capital.

His first railway, in fact, was from Luoyang to Shaanzhou, if possible, it is best to build it all the way to Tongguan, that is, the Luotong railway, through the throat of Kunshan, which is stuck in the pass to the outside world. This is currently the main obstacle to the connection between Guanzhong and the east, and if there is such a railway, the flow of goods on both sides will skyrocket. But even the railway is going to take him at least five years to build, because he has to open a tunnel in the mountains.

That is, the Kip Shiyi Tunnel.

As for other railways......

That's all there is to it!

He first solved the construction of railway bridges, especially the construction technology of bridge piers, Daming is not those small river ditches in the UK, and the iron bridge with a span of dozens of meters can be solved, no matter which direction it is indispensable, it is indispensable to face the big river. With the current technology of iron truss bridges, it is impossible to support the railway bridge to cross those large rivers. Unless the construction of the piers is technically solved, the raft foundation is not either, although the raft foundation can solve part of the problem, and it is only suitable for those small rivers. If you want to really build a railway bridge, you have to take out the pneumatic caisson, but this involves a lot of new machines, such as air compressors, such as water pumps, in short, this is a system engineering.

The world's earliest pneumatic caissons have all been obtained.

In the final analysis, Daming is not one of those small countries in Europe.

It was certainly easy for Britain to build railways.

In total, in that big place, the bridge crosses a small river of tens of meters, and an iron truss bridge can easily solve it, even if the tunnel is tens of meters and 100 meters, England has no lofty mountains, and the rivers there are gentle, and there is no need to face floods and the like.

But Da Ming can't.

The current technology does not mention the Yellow River and the Huai River, and even the Luan River cannot be crossed.

The Luanhe River also has to be caisson method.

Zhan Tianyou used an air pressure caisson to build the Luanhe Railway Bridge.

For a superpower like Daming, there are too many problems that need to be faced in building trunk railways, and it is not cost-effective for Yang Qing to build trunk railways. In the choke point of water transportation in Kunshan, it is the most cost-effective to concentrate on building short-distance railways to connect the originally obstructed transportation lines, and the real land transportation in the future is still a national highway, which Yang Qing can achieve.

Horse-drawn carriages can walk on pontoons.

But it is impossible for a train to go on a pontoon bridge.

Horse-drawn carriages can go through winding mountain roads.

But the train can only go through the tunnel, a Kip Shiyi tunnel of more than 1,700 meters, so Yang Qing has to do his best to excavate.

And arterial-level transportation can only be water transportation, so what he really develops with all his strength is still the paddle steamship on Xuanwu Lake, which is constantly improving. This steamship is progressing very quickly, but the outside world has limited knowledge of it, and at most it is thought that Yang Qing has made a large painting boat to swim in the lake.

And that's the foreseeable future.

Of course, this visible future does not need to be seen by people for the time being, and it will be at least two years before Yang Qing puts the first steamship into the Yangtze River for sea trials. On the contrary, the more distant future is what needs to be brought closer to their eyes, and Yang Qing wants to use this illusory bubble to drain the money of those landlords and old wealthy people in Jiangnan, drain their ability to resist, and minimize the chaos caused by his implementation of the public land law.

That's what he's for.
