"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just tells the truth. www.biquge.info"Wei Boyang seemed to be modest, but in fact he said arrogantly, he stroked his beard, and suddenly remembered that he was not in Funan Academy now, and he was not facing those students who were studying diligently, but the most noble person in the Yue Kingdom, and he couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head high, and pretended to be modest and said: "Rely on the king Tianwei, give those barbarians a lesson, so that they don't dare to be arrogant. ”

Sun Shao picked up the fishing rod again and was silent for a moment: "It's better to break one finger than to hurt ten fingers, and it is also necessary to give them a little deterrence. However, we must be clear that force is only a means, not an end, and that it can only destroy, not create, and that we must devote more energy to creating wealth while ensuring security. ”

Wei Boyang nodded again and again: "What the king said is very true, when the minister set off from Funan, the prime minister and the imperial doctor both said this to the minister, hoping that the minister would speak in front of the king, but now it seems that they are actually too worried." ”

"Don't worry about it, it's their responsibility." Sun Shao's wrist flicked, the fishing rod jumped violently, and a fish was pulled out of the water, flicking its tail in the air, and crystal water droplets flew in the air. He threw the rod into Emily's hand, stood up, stretched, looked at the endless Meda Somian plain, and smiled: "I want to build a railroad from the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Emily, I'm going to build a platform near your manor, so that it will be convenient if you want to go home to visit your family in the future. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Emily bowed obediently and said in a playful voice, "The concubine's father will be grateful to the king if he knows about it." ”

"It's useless to be grateful, you have to take some practical action." Sun Shao said with a smile: "You tell him that I can let him become a shareholder, and if the railway gains profits in the future, they can all share dividends, which is a financial road that can be used for hundreds of years." ”

"Really?" Emily was overjoyed and looked at Sun Shao with a pair of beautiful blue eyes. Sun Shao nodded and said to Wei Boyang: "Come with me." ”

"Whoa." Wei Boyang hurriedly followed. Emily and Diana glanced at each other and hugged each other happily, although they didn't know what the railroad was and what they relied on to make money, but they knew that what Sun Shao gave must be good things, as soon as the bank's suggestion was said last time, her father was so excited that he almost fainted, he didn't sleep well for several days, his eyes were as black as ink, but he was so excited that he refused to rest as if he was eating melancholy, and those nobles who didn't take their family seriously heard the news, Like a pack of wolves that smelled blood, they came to flatter their father, which only happened when his aunt was the empress of Severus the Great.

"The king wants to build a railroad here?" Wei Boyang followed behind Sun Shao and asked in a low voice.

Sun Shao glanced back at him and smiled slightly: "What's the problem?" ”

"This ...... It's a lot of money. Wei Boyang said worriedly: "The king has been fighting abroad for the past two years, and the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion has been planning to build a railway from Temu City to Yuenan, but once the accounts are settled, it will take at least twenty years with the current tax. From the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea, this ...... But it's much further away. ”

Sun Shao showed a satisfied smile, "I know that the railway, the reason why it didn't start construction immediately is because I am fighting abroad, and the treasury is basically empty, from this matter itself, there is nothing wrong with it, let alone twenty years, even if it is two hundred years, this road is worth building, all you have to consider is how much energy you put in." The Prime Minister's Office did a good job of not being aggressive for the sake of political achievements. Although Master Yu is not young, his mind is still clear. ”

Wei Boyang listened to Sun Shao's praise, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, the prime minister is very shrewd." ”

"Living within your means, making long-term plans, and not being limited to immediate interests, this is the prime minister's cleverness." Sun Shao said with a smile: "Master Yu is easy to learn, and he understands the principle of three easys, which is the blessing of my country." As for the railway, if you build a section, you will have the function of a section, so why rush to repair it all in a short time? And this matter is for the benefit of everyone, and it cannot be borne by the Prime Minister's Office, and everyone's strength should be brought into play. ”

"Just that stake?"

"yes." Sun Shao briefly explained his intentions, Wei Boyang listened to it, and his heart was immediately moved, he thought that the Wei family might be able to make some profits in this matter. Among the several big families in Huiji, now the most financially strong is the shipbuilding Zhou family and the Sheng family, as the merchant ships of the Yue country go farther and farther, their business is getting bigger and bigger, even the merchants of Rome have run to Huiji to buy ships, they can be said to have made a lot of money, although the other few also want to set up a shipyard, but in the face of their strong strength, there is not much chance at all, now Sun Shao wants to build the railway, and allow others to participate in the dividends, this is a good opportunity. If you can buy a large number of shares, you can not only pay dividends in the future, but also please Sun Shao, which can be described as a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Sun Shao didn't see the change in the look on Wei Boyang's face, and continued: "Several of your colleges will also become shareholders, but not in the form of money, but in technology, and the dividends in the future will be the main source of your R&D funds and income, and the steam engine transformation process of the College of Engineering will have strong financial resources as the foundation." Your ability to be self-reliant and continue to grow and develop is the fundamental ...... that will ensure the strength of our country."

Wei Boyang nodded repeatedly.

The strong city gate collapsed after a loud bang, most of the immortal army was buried inside, Ardashir couldn't even find a shadow, the Sassanid people's morale collapsed instantly, and in the face of the morale of the Han army, they knelt on the ground without much resistance, laid down their arms and surrendered.

At this time, no one doubted the fact that Sun Bong was the new king favored by Ahura, and no brave warrior dared to oppose the gods, and with Ardashir's strength as a result, how could they still muster up courage? Even if you muster up the courage, who can you die for? Ardashir couldn't even find the bones.

Sun Feng and the others entered the city of Taixi Blockade almost bloodlessly, and by the time Quintus and Bo Tiao withdrew their jaws, Sun Feng and the others had basically controlled the city of Taixi, and they were informed to leave most of the men and horses to fortify outside the city and bring their respective Praetorian Guards into the city to participate in the celebration.

When passing through the collapsed city gates, both the Romans and the Kushans felt their hearts tremble, what kind of force could turn a strong city gate into a pile of mud? Is it really divine power? They couldn't think of any other explanation, and the awe in their hearts was repeated, and when they saw Sun Feng standing in front of the palace, they couldn't help but bow down and bow down.

"Congratulations to the Prince."

"Hahaha......" Sun Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the help of the two, even if I had the blessing of Ahura, I wouldn't be able to enter the city so quickly, both of them are meritorious people, and I won't forget the great kindness of the two." I will now go and invite my father into the city, and ask you to come with me. ”

Where did Quintus and Bo Tiao dare to say a word, they immediately selected their entourage, Sun Feng arranged for Lu Xun to preside over major affairs in the city, and he took Quintus and Bo Tiao and other important ministers to Sun Shao's camp. Sun Shao saw Quintus and Bo Tuo who were following Sun Feng like two followers, and knew that the effect of shock was very ideal, so he was overjoyed, and instead of helping Sun Feng first, he helped the two Quintus up first, and then beckoned the ministers behind them to get up, and reproached Sun Feng and said: "You are really rude, how can you let them come to meet me together." ”

"It should be, it should be." Without waiting for Sun Feng to answer, Quintus and Bo Tiao hurriedly said: "The tiger father has no dogs, the king is brave and unparalleled, and the prince is also wise and brave, it is really our honor to follow the king's father and son to fight this time." ”

Sun Shao laughed, everyone laughed, and rushed to Taixi to seal the city together. Lu Xun had already asked people to clean up the palace and invite Sun Shao to move in, and Sun Shao immediately feasted the ministers in the palace.

This time, the losses of the Romans and the Kushans were not small, but they failed to capture Ctesiphon in the end, and they were embarrassed to make high demands, let alone dare to have any attempts at Tessifon, Sun Shao said at the beginning, whoever takes Ctesiphon, Cessifon is whom. It's just that if they don't want it at all, they seem to be losing too much, and at this time, Quintus and Bo Tuo naturally stood on a front, and they put forward their own requirements to Sun Shao in a roundabout way.

Sun Shao was very generous, and once again reaffirmed the original agreement, whether it was the Han army, the Roman army, or the Kushan army, all of them would be rewarded according to merit, and those who made meritorious contributions could get a piece of land, and this matter would be handed over to Sun Feng and Lu Xun to handle, and Quintus and the ministers of the Polish faction participated, and if there were any differences, he would definitely handle them impartially. In the end, he said to Quintus and Bo Tuo that such a small task should be left to them, and the three of us will take advantage of this opportunity to get together and discuss future cooperation.

Quintus and Bo were overjoyed, and immediately appointed their cronies to cooperate with Sun Fengjigong, and they themselves accompanied Sun Shao all day long to wander outside the city of Ctesifeng, enjoying the scenery of Sasanian. While Sun Feng and the others were haggling for the merits of each battle, the three of them agreed on the idea of financing the formation of the Bank of Rome and the Bank of Kushan, as well as the construction of a railroad.

Bo Tuo had been worried that Yue Guo and Rome would get too close and leave himself aside, and that Guishan might be in danger of being caught in their flanking attack in the future. Now that Sun Feng's occupation of Sasanian homeland was a foregone conclusion, the Romans were first cut off, and Sun Shao decided to cooperate with him to form the Kushan Bank, and he was finally relieved.

But Quintus and Bo Diao are not without worries, although Sun Shao provided them with the opportunity to make a fortune together, but their financial resources cannot be compared with Yueguo, whether it is a bank or a railway, the shares they add up are not Yueguoda, and most of the control in the future will be in the hands of the Yueguo, in case Sun Shao turns his face, their losses will be very amazing.

Sun Shao saw their doubts, and said very generously, don't worry, I am in business, and people who do business are honest and go back on their word, who else will cooperate with you in the future? I know, your losses this time are not small, for the time being, you don't have so much financial resources to buy shares, it doesn't matter, although you don't have enough shares, but are you still a major shareholder, in major matters, the minority obeys the majority, if there is anything, you two don't agree, even if I am the largest shareholder, I can't be arbitrary, right? Besides, the shares are open, if you are tight, you can immediately cash in the emergency, and when you have money, you can also expand the shares, as long as it is in line with our agreement.

Quintus and Bo Tiao were obviously no match for Sun Shao in this regard, and while they were agitated by Sun Shao's ideas, they were also seduced by a huge fortune. Most of Sun Shao's huge financial resources come from the people, and his own income is limited, while Quintus and Bo Tiao are different, their income will be all their own, although it cannot be compared with the overall strength of the Yue Kingdom, but compared to Sun Shao's personal income, it is only stronger than weak.

Quintus was still a little worried, he felt that the railway was too long, if the investment was too large, it might be opposed by the Senate, Sun Shao did not force it, and finally agreed with Quintus to build a railway from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, this road is only three hundred miles, and the road condition is much better, after the connection, the freight between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea will be much smoother, if the railway achieves the desired purpose, it will be much more convenient to raise funds to build a railway from the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea.

Bo Tuo also has the same worries, and Sun Shao also doesn't force it, anyway, this matter will definitely not be completed in a short period of time. He concluded by emphasizing only that in order to ensure that everyone did not suffer losses, the coinage rights must be unified, and those currencies that are not of good quality can no longer be allowed to enter the market. Speaking of this, he sank his face and said to Quintus, how many times have I told you, you Romans should be a little sincere, why are there still those inferior gold coins in circulation? Do you want me to order a ban on your Roman gold coins to be satisfied?

Quintus was drenched in cold sweat, and although Sun Shao's words were not loud, the threat inside was obvious. Because of the economic situation in Rome, the quality of gold coins has fallen again and again, which is already a chronic disease, Sun Shao has negotiated with him many times on this matter, he does not want to change, but on the one hand, he really has no money, on the other hand, he is also a little greedy, always thinking about delaying a day is a day, and now it is delayed to the end, I really can't get through, so I have to promise Sun Shao that those gold coins will be recovered as soon as possible.

"You, the Roman Emperor, are sitting down now, and you should have your head on the gold coin." Sun Shao breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Quintus: "You also know the precision casting technology of my Han people, if you can rest assured, I can mint coins for you to ensure that your head is clearer than the head of any Roman emperor." ”

Quintus was grateful and agreed again and again, but he didn't know that because of this fluttering sentence, the lifeblood of the Romans was pinched in Sun Shao's hands from then on.

Sun Shao struck while the iron was hot, and once again exchanged a part of the profit for the coinage right of Guishan, and he immediately informed Sun Feng of the news, and Sun Feng and Lu Xun saw that the main task was completed, so they finally determined the merit book that had been bargained for several days. Although this merit book is as fair as possible, how can it be that things that are truly and absolutely fair can happen, Sun Feng and Lu Xun intentionally or unintentionally favored those Roman generals and Kushan generals who had a good impression of the Han army, and gave them fiefs on the fertile land between the two rivers, while those who were more distant from the Han army were given more remote territories.

After half a month of discussion, the final division plan was determined, the Han army occupied nearly sixty percent of the land originally between the two rivers, and the Romans and Kushans recaptured the land that was robbed by Ardashir, and also obtained a part of the land that originally belonged to Persia, and nearly 40 generals of the two countries became the lords of this land, and from then on they were tied to the Han people and shared the benefits of this golden road. When they heard that the railroad was to be postponed, they were all very sorry, and Sun Shao immediately promised them that after the completion of the Red Sea railway, he would begin the construction of the railway as soon as possible, and in the meantime he would supply ships to the lords along the coast at a discounted price for their travel or business.

After completing the great distribution, Sun Shao invited the Cao Zhang brothers and Li Yan to discuss the distribution of benefits between them. As soon as Cao Zhang saw Sun Shao, he gritted his teeth and said, "Respected His Royal Highness King Yue, you are really merciful enough, you dug such a big pit for me to jump." I thought the pit you dug for the Sassanids was deep enough, but I didn't expect the pit you dug for me to be a bottomless pit. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Sun Shao couldn't help laughing, he looked at Cao Zhang with three points of pride: "You can't blame me, it's you who don't learn and don't know how to do it." The issue of progression, Funan Journal has been talked about more than once, when I arranged the rejection of the horse formation, there was also a problem of progression, you saw it with your own eyes, and you didn't think much about it, can you blame me? ”

Cao Zhang's words were stopped, he glared at Sun Shao indignantly, and drank a cup of tea as if he was angry.

"So do you plan to pay off your debts for the rest of your life, or do you plan to pay off your debts?"

"Am I a debtor?" Cao Zhang smiled slyly: "I still pay back your debt, I can't finish it, my son will continue to pay it, anyway, you didn't say how much you have to pay back in a year, and there is no limit to how many years to pay it off, I just pay a little every year." If you insist on forcing the debt, it doesn't matter, I can't pay off the debt of my wife and children. ”

"Hey-" Sun Shao stood up angrily and pointed at Cao Zhang, speechless. What the fuck is this, how can he put it together. His wife is from the Sun family, and his son is also half of the Sun family's blood, so what can I do if I want them back, and in turn I have to feed them with grain. He pointed at Cao Zhang: "Yours, Cao Ziwen, learn to cheat, and make progress." ”

"They all learn from the king." Cao Zhang's seemingly modest arch his hand: "This is called the red who is close to Zhu, and the black who is close to ink, and when you get close to the king, you will naturally become smart." ”

Sun Shao twisted his head and glared at Cao Zhi, Yang Xiu and the others angrily: "Who taught him?" Stand up for me! ”

Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and said in unison, "The Great King Sect!" ”

After taking Tai Xifeng, the Han army made the greatest meritorious service and shared the largest benefit, and almost everyone could benefit from it, and everyone was in a good mood. Moreover, they also knew that Sun Shao and Cao Zhang's joke was a bigger joke, and Cao Zhang couldn't afford it anyway, but now seeing Sun Shao and Cao Zhang's amusement, everyone couldn't help laughing, and even Li Yan, who had always been reserved and silent, laughed out loud.
