Chapter 1143: Daydreaming
This is really an embarrassing scene, and the excited Li Chengqian completely forgot that this is not the modern era of later generations, and many theories and concepts of later generations are not well known in the Tang Dynasty.
So the things he said could only make the old man and his mother think that he was not lying, and that it did not help the whole thing in the slightest.
In desperation, Li Chengqian could only popularize the basic knowledge of the old man and his mother again, and tell them what is the shareholding system, what is a company, and what is a holding company.
"So you're not lying to anyone with this idea?" After listening carefully to her son's explanation, Empress Eldest Sun asked with great concern.
In her eyes, what makes money or not is secondary, and the key problem is that her son can't go down the wrong path, so on the issue of trains this time, as long as Li Chengqian doesn't lie to people, then everything is easy to say, and she, the mother, is responsible for her son.
However, Lao Li's thoughts are not the same as Empress Changsun, as an emperor, his thoughts are more practical, and it doesn't matter whether Li Chengqian deceives people or not, what he has to ask is whether this matter can be successful, and whether the so-called train can be realized.
If there is really a car that can speed around the clock, a car that can transport tens of thousands of catties and hundreds of thousands of catties of materials at a time, Li Er thinks that he can take his army to double the territory of Datang.
"Second brother, second brother, what are you thinking? How can you be so engrossed? The voice of Empress Changsun woke Lao Li from his fantasy, and it was only at this time that Lao Li realized that it was noon, and the meal had been set up in the small shop.
Gently patting his wife's jade hand on his shoulder, Lao Li smiled comfortingly at Empress Eldest Sun, and then turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, who was drooling at the table.
The things on the table are all Li Chengqian's favorite things to eat on weekdays, and the things eaten in Xianyang are not very good, basically there is something to eat, and it is already very good to be able to eat a full meal.
Empress Changsun knew that her son should have suffered a lot over there, and this time she saw that her son naturally prepared a bunch of delicious food for him.
Although His Majesty Li Er, who was the old man, was careless, but after noticing Li Chengqian's performance, he also felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and couldn't help but reprimand slightly: "Eat if you like, what are you doing with that weird look!" ”
"Hehe, thank you Queen Mother, thank you Father!"
Li Chengqian is not really only a teenager, the psychological age of his forties allows him to fully understand the painstaking work of the old man and his mother, although the old man's tone is full of reprimand, but the concern contained in it, he can still understand.
Of course, some people may think that Li Chengqian, a person in his forties, could call his parents so smoothly in the face of Li Er's husband and wife, who are almost the same age as him.
In fact, this question can be looked at from another angle, because if the more than 1,300 years of travel are counted, he Li Chengqian calls Li Er and his wife their ancestors seem to be a little high, and there is no need to feel embarrassed to call his parents.
"Tell me about your railroad and train, and I'll help you with your staff." After eating, the old man brought up the old things again, and because he cared too much, he even threw aside the rule of not saying a word.
"Father, now our Datang has entered a period of relative stability, there are fewer and fewer wars, and economic development has become the top priority we need to face."
"And the development of the economy is inseparable from the road, needless to say those newly built cement roads, you know how much of a role they played during this crusade."
"But our means of transportation are much worse now, although the road is good, but without good means of transportation, it cannot play its due role."
"So Erchen plans to install a steam engine on the iron car, and use the steam engine as the power to build a railway, so that this kind of iron car, that is, the train, can always run on it."
"In this way, we can make the products in Datang flow at a very high speed, such as lychees in Lingnan, which are not valuable in Lingnan, but if they can be transported out and transported to all parts of Datang, then it can generate a lot of profits."
"And it's the same with other things, the more they circulate, the more profits they generate, and the bigger the profits, the more taxes we pay."
Li Chengqian is not a financial professional in the end, and he is not very good at material circulation, state taxation, and financial policies, so he expounds his views on a hammer in the east and a stick in the west.
But fortunately, the old man's comprehension ability is not bad, and Empress Changsun is not an ordinary housewife, and she can basically understand what Li Chengqian said.
"Cheng Qian, I know very well the role of this train of yours, but how do you plan to use it?" So taking advantage of Li Chengqian's short pause, the old man asked the doubts in his heart, intending to hear how he explained.
"Freight, father, we can't transport things in vain, we always have to charge some freight, right? Whether the merchants traveled by water or by land, they also had to bear the freight of transporting goods. ”
"And that kind of transportation also has to take risks, and if someone robs on the road, there will be a lot of losses."
"But our trains are different, first of all, we have a large transportation volume, and we can completely transport all the goods of the merchant at one time."
"Secondly, we are a government camp, so we don't have to worry about someone coming to rob it, and at the speed of the train, few people can catch up with it."
"The main thing is that the train can run on the road without sleep, and the damage to the goods will be minimized without the participation of people, so that the time-saving and trouble-saving mode of transportation will definitely be accepted by those merchants."
The more Li Chengqian talked, the more excited he became, and finally simply put the chopsticks aside and talked about his business experience.
"Really? That's a nice thing to say, so where is your train now? "Empress Changsun can always give Li Chengqian a 'fatal blow' in the most critical place, just when Li Chengqian and the old man were imagining the future, a sentence directly poked into the death hole of the two.
"Huh?" Li Chengqian's mouth opened wide in embarrassment, a little dumbfounded.
And the great His Majesty Li Er raised his wine glass to hide his embarrassment.
Yes, it's been blowing for a long time, but the train still hasn't even had a shadow.
And the so-called joint-stock company is just a flash in the pan, and you don't have to think about it until those old things don't take out the money.
You know, the train is not simply built one, it requires a lot of supporting projects, and the track alone is a huge investment.
