Although Li Chengqian had expected this, the speed of spending money was still too fast, and it was about to make ends meet.

Tens of millions of dollars of silver seem to be a lot, but at the moment, it costs money to fight a war in the Western Regions, it costs money to build a railway in China, and it also costs money to repair a cement road in Mobei.

After hesitating for a few days, Li Chengqian, who was anxious, had to call Li Ke to the Qin Palace, ready to talk to him about the railway company.

……

Li Ke, since the last time Li Chengqian was deposed as the crown prince, he ran to his fiefdom to hide, until someone was named the king of Qin again, and returned to Chang'an by recuperating from illness.

So when he received Li Chengqian's notice that he was asking him to go to the Qin Palace, he was immediately startled, thinking that he had offended the eldest brother somewhere, and rushed over after drinking half of the wine.

"Big brother, I'm so anxious to call my little brother over, but what's the matter?" When he arrived at Li Chengqian's mansion, after the salute, Li Ke asked cautiously.

"Alas......" Looking at Li Ke's peach blossom eyes that were rolling around, Li Chengqian sniffed: "Xiao Ke, have you heard the words "those who can work harder?" ”

Li Ke didn't speak, just nodded, but he was wondering what this half-brother meant.

However, Li Chengqian didn't expect Li Ke to say anything, and after a pause, he continued: "I plan to put you in charge of the affairs of the railway company, including a series of work from construction to operation. ”

"Railroad companies? Big brother, I'm afraid that my brother is in this matter, I'm afraid it's incompetent! After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Ke almost jumped up from his chair and hurriedly refused.

Li Ke was not really unaware of the matter of building the railway, and with his shrewdness, he naturally considered the cost of building the railway, and knew that even if the road was built with prisoners of war, it was a big expense to buy steel, which required a lot of money to support.

And at present, the railway has not yet been put into operation, it is completely a thing that only inputs but does not output, and it is a hot potato in the hand.

Li Chengqian knew very well that Li Xiaosan saw Qianyan's temper, and when he saw that he didn't agree, he smiled and said, "Has anyone come to you for this time?" Changsun Chong was about to be broken by those merchants. ”

"Say something? Say what? Li Ke was a little puzzled.

Li Chengqian seemed to be deliberately pretentious, and raised his eyebrows and said to Li Ke: "On the first day of July, the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang will be put into operation, three round-trips a day, one freight and two passenger trips, going to Luoyang in the morning and returning to Chang'an in the evening. ”

"Huh? Operational? Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That big brother plans to ......."

"It's not my plan, but you're going to do it, I can give you a suggestion, for example, you can organize a few test rides, call some of your playmates' elders, and let them experience the convenience of the train first."

"Of course, you can also take two private trips, such as transporting some goods, in short, let them see the convenience and strong capacity of the train, and then it is estimated that there will be a lot of people coming to you without you coming to Zhang Luo."

Li Ke licked his lips, in fact, he would have used these things a long time ago, the reason why he didn't promise Li Chengqian just now was because he didn't know that the train had been put into operation, and now that he knew, he immediately became infinitely interested in this matter, hesitated for a moment and said: "What does the eldest brother mean that this little brother is responsible for all part of the train operation?" ”

"Yes, from construction to operation." Li Chengqian nodded heavily, smacked his lips and said: "Originally, Old Man Du was responsible for this matter, but the old man was very tall and ashamed to talk about money, so we can only handle it ourselves." ”

"No problem, my brother took it."

"Wait." Looking at Li Ke, who was a little excited, Li Chengqian seemed to suddenly think of something, stared at him for a while before saying, "How about you take all the transportation parts?" ”

"What do you mean?" Li Ke was puzzled.

"Railways, highways, water transportation, everything is in your hands, anyway, you don't have anything to do during this time, so you just have to pick it up." Li Chengqian said with a somewhat chicken thief smile.

Li Ke blinked his eyes in a daze, and didn't react for a long time.

He is not a stupid Bai Tian like Li Tai who only knows how to read, he is responsible for the road transportation of the entire Tang Dynasty, and he almost doesn't need to think about it, so he knows that it is a fat gap.

"How about it, do you want to think about it?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Chengqian asked again.

"Huh......" Li Ke exhaled a long breath: "Brother, what do you want?" ”

"There's no requirement, it's just that you kid hasn't made less money during this time, and it is estimated that he will not make mistakes for a little money in the future." Li Chengqian wrenched his fingers and said: "Putting aside the cost of railway transportation for the time being, the toll of cement road transportation is a large amount, and the same is true for shipping, I don't want to hand over this errand to some people who see money." ”

When Li Chengqian said this, half of his intention was to beat Li Ke, aiming to tell him not to confuse official affairs with private affairs, the beef jerky business and the wool business can be regarded as his private property, and he doesn't care how he spends the money he earns.

But the road, railway, and shipping belong to the government, and every copper plate here belongs to the Datang government, and cannot be used to give favors, nor can it be put into one's own pocket.

Li Ke understood the warning in Li Chengqian's words, but in his opinion, this didn't seem to be a big deal, as a prince, money was not a particularly important thing to him now.

Besides, with the beef jerky and wool business, he has a long-term income, and there is no need to covet the money that does not belong to him in the first place.

Therefore, what Li Ke needs now is recognition, and he needs some official positions to support himself on the scene, instead of relying on the identity of an idle prince to live in Chang'an City.

Li Chengqian's transportation industry just met his needs, and after a short hesitation, Li Ke quickly figured out the pros and cons of this matter, and a heart that did not admit defeat began to 'bang bang' and asked in a tangled manner: "Brother, it is said that you have said this part, and the younger brother has no reason to refuse, but ...... But have you ever thought about the identity of your brother? If someone asks......"

Speaking of identity, Li Chengqian slapped the table arrogantly: "The identity of the fart, the hero doesn't ask about his origin, let alone what's wrong with your identity, when will it be the turn of outsiders to chew their tongues in our royal affairs." ”nt
