However, although the project of Yiqiu Palace has not yet been completed, it is only the decoration that has not ended, and its interior is actually almost completed, which does not affect the normal use.

The walls with the mezzanine were grilled with high-purity charcoal, and the temperature in the room was already warm as spring.

"Boy, what are you eating? It tastes really good, and it tastes good enough. ”

The hot pot with pure copper hanging tin was on the table, the meat slices were as thin as cicada wings, the verdant vegetables, and a plate of prepared mustard, and the old guys who ate it sweated like rain and shed tears, and one by one they forgot who they were, and the 'kids' who had not been used for a long time were taken out again.

"It's called hot pot, but unfortunately there are no chili peppers, otherwise it tastes better with some chili oil as a dipping sauce." Li Chengqian put the sliced meat into his mouth, and at the same time introduced the lack of materials in Datang.

"What is a chili pepper?" Guo Xiaoke had already eaten so much that he even took off his official uniform and put it aside, with only one dirty clothes on his body, and he couldn't help but ask when he heard Chili.

In Datang, chili peppers have not yet appeared, and if Datang's pioneering footsteps stop, it is estimated that it will not appear in the next few hundred years.

Li Chengqian sighed regretfully and said to Guo Xiaoke: "A plant on the other side of the distant ocean, but it can be used as a vegetable or as a seasoning. ”

"Across the ocean?" Guo Xiaoke is out of words.

If it is on this continent, Lao Guo believes that with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, he can get this kind of legendary thing, but Li Chengqian said that this thing is on the other side of the ocean, so Lao Guo, who doesn't know water, has no curse.

"Your Highness, the ministers have a question in their hearts, I wonder if Your Highness can solve our doubts?" Hou Junji did not forget his mission in the end, put down the chopsticks in his hand after eating half of it, drained the cup in one gulp, wiped the sweat on his face and said.

The main topic finally came, and Li Chengqian wiped the corner of his mouth with a silk scarf: "Uncle Hou has any questions, just ask, as long as this palace knows, he must know everything." ”

"I wonder if the railroad company really doesn't accept any shareholders anymore. Also, when will the dividends be distributed? Hou Junji looked at Li Chengqian, and almost all the copper coins reflected in his eyes were copper coins.

"Yes, today is the 25th day of the first lunar month, and from midnight today, the railway company will no longer accept investment from any shareholders. As for dividends, ladies and gentlemen, how much profit do you think will be made on a section of railroad that is less than 70 miles long? Li Chengqian said very directly and frankly.

The old guys present except for Wei Zheng were all paid by their families, and theoretically they were already on the same front, so it would be easier for Li Chengqian to be more honest and gain trust.

As for Lao Wei, in Li Chengqian's opinion, he is very likely to be a nail arranged by the old man, and of course, he may also be a neutral. But it has nothing to do with what he says, anyway, what he said is not a secret, even if Lao Wei turns around and tells the old man, it is nothing.

"Why doesn't Your Highness speed up the construction of the railway? One day earlier to Luoyang, and one day earlier to see profits. "Guo Xiaoke himself is a money fan, so he doesn't care about whether he is busy with farming or not, he can't do anything for money.

This guy's words made Li Chengqian think of a person - the former Sui Kaihe Governor Ma Shumou. This person is fierce and greedy for money, and the people often hear that he feeds on children, and collects countless money by supervising the construction of canals, and finally was arrested by Yang Guang to protect his children, and beheaded in the city on the charge of 'cannibal son, receiving people's money, sending thieves to steal treasures, and taking advantage of rivers'.

And although Guo Xiaoke did not eat children, his greed for money and his practice of not sparing the people made Li Chengqian feel deeply disgusted.

It was this disgust that made Li Chengqian make a decision: "General Guo, the palace also wants to speed up the construction of the railway, but because there is no one under him, I don't know what the general can do?" ”

"This ......" Guo Xiaoke smacked his lips, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"But the general said this, the palace has an idea, if the general has no objections, the palace wants to suggest to the emperor that General Guo be in charge of this matter."

"What?" Guo Xiaoke raised his head suddenly.

For the same thing, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

If such an errand as building a railway is seen in the eyes of Wei Zheng and others, it is a responsibility.

But in Guo Xiaoke's eyes, that is the way to get rich.

"That's right, General Guo heard it right, this palace plans to suggest to my father that you should be the governor of the railway." Li Chengqian sneered in his heart, but with an extremely serious look on his face: "There is no one in this palace, and even if there is, they are all mediocre people, supervising the construction of railways...... Alas. ”

"If Your Highness can trust the minister, the minister is willing to be ruined!" Guo Xiaoke saw that Li Chengqian was serious, patted his chest and assured that the silver of the white flowers had blinded him and forgotten his duty.

Only Li Ji and Hou Junji expressed a kind of distrust in Li Chengqian's words, but they didn't say anything.

After finalizing the matter of supervising the construction of the railway with Guo Xiaoke, Li Chengqian coughed lightly and continued: "Okay, now let's talk about the railway company. You have more or less invested a lot of money in it now, and you are considered to be the majority shareholder of the company, and there are some things that still need to be reported to you. ”

"Your Highness, please speak, we will listen to you!" Thinking about supervising the construction of the railway, Guo Xiaoke slapped Xiao Li's sycophants on the mountain, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

"The first thing I want to say is that most of the 300,000 yuan you promised have not yet arrived, and this palace hopes that your uncles can keep their promises and allocate the remaining funds as soon as possible."

"The second thing is about dividends, and the palace plans to start disbursing the first dividend one year after the completion of the construction of the railway, that is, when the railway will be repaired, and when will we get the money."

"The third thing is about the redemption of shares, and I believe that you should have misunderstood the matter of this railway company at the beginning, thinking that this palace was taking the opportunity to make money. But what this palace wants to say is that this investment has actually always existed, and you can redeem the principal of 300,000 yuan whenever you want. ”

"Of course, this palace does not recommend that you redeem this money early, because as the railway company develops better and better, your investment of 300,000 yuan is likely to double in the next three or five years, and then 300,000 will become 600,000, and even if the railway company develops for a longer time, it is not impossible for the principal to increase tenfold." nt
