Two hours later.

"This is good, do more in the future!"

Her Majesty the Empress was half-lying on the short couch, with a satisfied posture, and hiccups very unfiguratively after speaking, and the posture of the house waste would be even more perfect if it was equipped with a tablet.

There was also a hiccup all around.

The ladies were shy and uncontrollable with curiosity, passing glass bottles full of green soda, drinking soda made with apple juice, sugar, baking soda and other ingredients. Of course, the most important thing is that there are the most important ingredients in it, using those seeds as the water brewed from the tea, but it has been diluted, and the concentration is too high to cause numbness in the mouth and tongue. Of course, the leaves are the best, but Yang Qing has no leaves, so he can only make do with the seeds, anyway, it is nothing more than to dilute it as much as possible, these women have never drunk it, and a little bit of ingredients in it can bring obvious results.

As for addiction, it is impossible.

Even in the mid-nineteenth century, it was Merck who really made it a beast......

It's Merck, who makes medicines.

It is Merck's purification industry, as well as the adulteration of various drugs, coupled with commercial hype, that finally makes its power truly released. Even at that time, almost all drugs in the U.S. market contained the content, and even the martinny bottle was clearly marked with the content, just like the Canadians sold biscuits. But if we talk about chewing leaves, at least in the 300 years that the Spaniards have been selling leaves and the Indians have been chewing leaves for a thousand years, this thing is really just a cure. Even missionaries wanted to promote it in Europe to fight the famine, and there was a time when the soldiers defending the city in a war survived the famine by chewing leaves.

So Yang Qing doesn't want to control this for the time being.

After all, he can't control it, at most, it is a ban on imports, but he can't control the pioneers who go to the Americas to buy nearby.

The latter will definitely chew.

"How much have you gained lately?"

Yang Qing ignored Her Majesty the Empress who was in ruins, and asked his godsister while drinking homemade soda.

The latter lazily stretched out his hand.

The maid next to her hurriedly opened a small gold box studded with precious stones and took out a pair of delicate gold-wire glasses from it......

My godsister has been working hard to get a little short-sighted.

In order to solve this problem, the Lord of the Protectors personally instructed the craftsmen to make the frames out of white copper, then gilded them and inlaid them with lenses of determined power, resulting in a very modern pair of gold wire glasses. In fact, glasses have been used in China for a long time, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but the round glasses are still crystal pieces, although Yang Qing has used a lot of glass to make telescopes and even microscopes, but in order to protect his sister's eyes, or continue to use crystal pieces! Anyway, she only wears it occasionally when she needs to, and it's still a bit heavy to wear such a thing every day, after all, the frame is nickel and copper, and it's not a light alloy.

Wearing modern gold-wire glasses, wearing gorgeous palace clothes, and a godsister with a head full of jewels and a mix and match style, opened the folder and opened her mouth lazily......

Well, she's still short of a black silk skirt.

"The shares of the Liangjing Railway Company have been sold two-thirds, the original 10 yuan per share, a total of 1 million shares, but now it has risen to 20 yuan, and it continues to rise, it is recommended to issue another 300,000 shares."

She read lazily.

"How many shares do we have in our hands at the moment?"

Yang Qing asked.

"Three hundred thousand!"

Yuan Yuan said.

"Then don't issue more, why can't this kind of high-quality stock rise to fifty yuan!"

Yang Qing said.

"Then we have to put a shocking news!"

Yuan Yuan pushed his glasses very seriously and said.

"This is simple, let's just say that the merchant ships that came back from the Americas brought back more than 50 kinds of new potatoes, which are the most suitable for the climate of Xuanda and northern Shaanxi, and the yield per mu can reach 10,000 catties in the Yinshan area! In addition, a super large coal mine was found in the area of the old East Shengwei, which is estimated to be at least a thousand years old for Daming mining! ”

Yang Qing waved his hand and said.

He didn't promote potatoes on a large scale before because he was afraid of accidentally getting a late blight, although the Irish planted it for nearly a hundred years before they collided, but who would dare to bet on this kind of thing? He promotes potatoes on a large scale, in case of bad luck and hits the head, it is a devastating disaster, the promotion of sweet potatoes and corn will not have this risk, in the case of not no choice, of course he wants to promote the safest, this is food, not dare to risk it at all. Therefore, although all places, especially in Yunnan, Guizhou, Shandong and other places, Huangzhuang praised potatoes, he still insisted that people could only grow them as vegetables, and each household should not exceed two points of land. But there is no need in the future, and the American fleet has purchased hundreds of villages in one village in Peru, so the provenance is very rich. In fact, this is also the way for the indigenous Peruvian people to avoid potato blight, that is, to breed a large number of different varieties, they have cultivated a total of more than 100 varieties, and then rotate the seeds, and plant a large number of different varieties in the same area, and resolutely do not plant a single variety and try to avoid heavy cropping.

So it's okay for them to plant for thousands of years.

The Irish, who had only grown one species, tasted the consequences less than a hundred years ago, and a devastating potato late blight left a lasting memory for the nation.

This lesson must be remembered.

But Yuanyuan doesn't feel much about potatoes......

"A thousand years, that's too much of an exaggeration, isn't it?"

She was stunned.

"Indeed, it's a bit of an exaggeration, 1,000 years is not enough to describe this coal mine, 10,000 years, let's say 10,000 years, our current coal consumption, and then ten times more can also be used for 10,000 years! Let Yingtian Daily hype it up, and then let the garrison there dig a few coal mines, and I will mark the approximate location for them on the map, and by the way, the imperial court will auction the mining rights. We can't deceive people, we must not create propaganda out of nothing without what we don't have, it must be conclusive, and this can be used for hype. ”

Yang Qing said.

He's not lying.

The reserves of the Dongsheng Coal Area of Shenfu will take 10,000 years to expand tenfold with the current coal consumption of the Ming Dynasty.

How could the Protector deceive people?

Creating something out of nothing is a deception, and some things are not deceiving, even if it is almost impossible to use them effectively, then the place is a wasteland, and it is not in vain to dig up no amount of coal and transport it.

Yuanyuan gave him a seductive look, and then continued to look at the folder......

"The shares of the Beijing-Hangzhou Railway were sold out, and the original share price was five yuan, but now it has risen to fifty yuan."

She said.

"So popular?"

Yang Qing was stunned.

"Yes, although there are reasons for our behind-the-scenes manipulation, it is more that this railway is too hot, and the gentry in eastern Zhejiang and Jiangsu and Shanghai are about to go crazy. The exchange of gold and silver received by the Hangzhou branch even included the money that Song Huizong cast to reward the princes and ministers, and you scraped out the ancestral gold and silver that people didn't even scrape out of Hu Yuan. If you don't repair this railroad within ten years, I think those old rich men will take the hanging rope to the royal street and accuse you of deception at Chengtianmen! ”

Yuan Yuan said.

"Ten years is really a bit difficult, and they estimate that they will have to wait another ten years."

Yang Qing touched the beard on his chin and said.

Although the Nanjing-Ningbo railway has been revised to remove the obviously impractical Qiantang River Bridge, it is still very difficult to say that it will be repaired to Hangzhou in 10 years.

But in twenty years, there will be no problems.

If you can't do it, you can also build the easiest Shanghai-Hangzhou section first, originally this section of the railway was built in three years in history, although it was the twentieth century, but it was not too difficult in the seventeenth century. After all, the key to building railways is tunnels and bridges, and there is no need to dig tunnels on this route, and there are no big rivers, and those water network small rivers can be solved by single-hole truss bridges, and this kind of bridge has been built a lot. If it takes three years to explore and plan the line, and then twice as long, it will be no problem to build this section of the railway in six years.

As for the old landlords......

It's not that he hasn't repaired, he's just not repairing as fast as promised, but since he started to repair, it's a matter of time. Besides, they have bought all the stocks, and the railroad has begun to be repaired, what else can they do, do they still run to pick up a railroad track and carry it home?

In the final analysis, the protector of the country is not lying.

He did say that he would build a bunch of railways within ten years, but the railways he promised to build within ten years would really start construction, but this construction of the railway did not mean that he was stuck with a clock, and he had to be repaired according to the boasting time, which would be difficult for the strongman.

It was also the first time he built a railway.

He also has no experience.

Everyone has to be considerate of this.

It was the first time to do such a big project, and it was normal to make mistakes at first, so it can only be said that he was too optimistic, but who knew that there would be so much trouble when the railroad was really built? Anyway, I've started to lay the tracks, what do you like, you don't want the money to be spent, and it's impossible to turn it out to pay you back, and I don't want to be empty when the time comes, so keep waiting. It is estimated that they will have to continue to buy stocks at that time, after all, it is impossible to build the railway from Nanjing to Hangzhou for only 5 million yuan, in fact, these railway companies in Yang Qing are like this, and the first batch of shares raised is not enough to be completed, at most it is a start-up fee.

All of them have to invest more.

There are too many things involved in building railways, whether it is line exploration, cleaning along the line, or even demolition, these have to invest a lot of money.

Otherwise, Yang Qing wouldn't dare to be repaired by the imperial court!

Such a huge investment, not at all the imperial court taxes can bear, and the national debt is not good, the Ming court has already carried a bunch of debts, and then you have to play the public land law, which is also to issue land coupons in the nature of debts, fooling the private landlords and old money to dig out the coffin is the only choice.

Of course, this is also not to be blamed for protecting the country.

The protector is still a mistake in estimation, or the first time to build a railway has no experience, in short, if you don't continue to pay for it, the previous one will be spent in vain, if you continue to pay for it, we will finally build it, that is, everyone will be happy to make money together.

How?

That's it!

Are you going to bite me?

"A pair of dog men and women!"

Her Majesty said with unbearable indignation.
