Chapter 806: Railroad Road
The afternoon sun is a little dazzling, and people seem to be avoiding the scorching sun.
Gathering in the teahouse to drink tea has become the choice of many people.
A horse-drawn carriage jingled straight to this teahouse, and when I arrived at the teahouse, I immediately got off the car and went straight upstairs.
"Brother Lu is here...... The people on the second floor had already heard the sound of the carriage, and someone had already gotten up to check, and when they saw that the person who came was the person they were waiting for, they immediately came to greet them at the staircase.
"Uh, it's hot......" The man known as Brother Lu immediately shouted, but the sweat on his forehead was fine, and he went upstairs and ran directly to the teapot, picked up a big teapot and poured it, it could be seen that he was very anxious, very busy, and very thirsty.
“…… How's that, Brother Lu? But did you really see it? The greeter asked with some anxiety.
The person known as Brother Lu drank a pot of tea and seemed to be relieved.
"Well...... but I saw it with my own eyes, I saw it with my own eyes! Who would have believed that the best steel would have been put on the ground if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes? The man known as Brother Lu immediately explained with great interest what he had seen and heard.
“…… It's true? Are the rumors true? How much iron does this need? …… This ......" the person who asked just now paused for a moment and said in surprise. Recently, it has been rumored that the Xishan side, the imperial party, the emperor's red man Sun Yuanhua Sun laid a large number of good steel on the ground, what to do railroad road, this matter, caused a sensation in the capital, it is said that it is to repair the railroad from Xishan to the capital, so thirty or forty miles of railroad paved down, it is really not a good account. How much steel does this take? Therefore, as soon as this incident came out, it would not be possible if it did not cause a sensation, and there were not a few people who went to Xishan to see the railway tracks. There are not a few people who inquire about inside information.
"It's true, that's really putting real money on the ground! Brother Li! You haven't seen it, it's all good steel! I've tried it myself, and it's not ...... worse than 100 steels, but I just spread it on the ground, and let him wind and rain, alas, ......, this world has to say boldness. Only His Majesty the Ming Emperor is the most ......," the person surnamed Lu said with emotion.
“…… This, this is really incomprehensible! How much silver will you get for this trip? The Son of Heaven can't see through this deal! Isn't this burning money......" The person surnamed Li was a little confused. It is rumored that he still doesn't believe it, but now I hear a friend who just came from Xishan say that he has to believe it if he doesn't believe it.
"Oh hey, I said, man. Where did you say this, this railway track that the Son of Heaven personally ordered to be built, you say he will lose money? Don't tell me this to my brother again, even if Your Majesty wants to go to the sea now. Let's do it too, you can make your brother miserable a few times ago. If you were bold enough to listen to you...... Now this is worth ......," the person surnamed Lu immediately glared and said with a look of disbelief.
"It's ....... Hey, hey, hey, hehe, Brother Lu smiled, smiled...... "The person surnamed Li was a little embarrassed."
“…… Brother Lu, since this is true, the Holy Tomorrow really wants to smash this real money and silver to the ground, then there must be a name, I want Your Majesty to do things with a clear eye, and he will not be untargeted, this must be a serious business to do, so what rumors does Brother Lu hear? Other people on the side also asked, the railway in Xishan is indeed being repaired, but ordinary people are not allowed to see it, and people who do not have a little grade and ability will not see the legendary railway, so in terms of details, they still have to inquire and study.
“…… Well, I heard Lord Wang mention that it was for the purpose of repairing the altar of people, think about it, this altar is said to be built as high as 50 zhang, how many stones, how much cement and steel does this need? This has to be shipped out of Xishan, and the cost of this freight is not small, I think it is probably due to this consideration......" The man surnamed Lu immediately explained seriously. He himself couldn't see the scene of the railroad being laid, and someone had to take it with him. …,
“…… That's ......."
“…… That's ......."
Other people in this teahouse immediately echoed the words, the matter of the altar has always been a hot topic in the capital, how many stones and steel are needed to build a fifty-zhang high altar, although they do not have accurate data, but they generally know that at least one mountain will be emptied, I heard that a special railway is built to transport building materials, but it is also understandable.
“…… That's not right! Brother Lu, as far as we know, Your Majesty never makes a loss-making transaction, even if it is for the purpose of building a human altar, it will not throw real money and silver on the ground, there must be other reasons in it,......" Immediately someone shouted, now everyone can see that the emperor does business, the more money he invests, the bigger the deal must be, this railway, although everyone doesn't know how much money to invest, but also know that this is definitely a million-level big move, so, the northerners and southerners in the entire capital, They all smelled the fishy smell, and they were all thinking about how big this deal was, and they were all thinking about how to follow the emperor's path and how to get involved.
The people in the teahouse were noisy, according to tradition, if the emperor sold stocks on the stock exchange, then this was a good business to invest in.
“…… ...... quietly, ...... quietly" The person surnamed Lu obviously heard the real news, and immediately waved proudly to signal everyone to be quiet.
The teahouse then quieted down.
"Everyone, listen to me, there is reliable news about this matter, and the Son of Saint Ming has great expectations for this matter, according to reliable information, this is definitely a big deal to make money......," the man surnamed Lu immediately said proudly.
"Brother Lu, don't hang my appetite, just say what kind ......of deal this is, I'm anxious," someone immediately shouted.
The person surnamed Nalu waited for everyone to shout for a while, and he was ready to put on a posture and say.
"Since you all want to know how to make money in this matter, then let's talk about it in detail......" The person surnamed Lu immediately said with great glory, these "internal" news are all about money, and they all need relationships to get them, and ordinary road news is not as accurate and meticulous as this, doing business, especially some people who have spare money to invest in stocks, believe in relationships, that is, internal news, but they are disdainful of road news.
“…… This rail road, the first one. Naturally, it is needed to build the altar of people, and everyone knows about this altar, it is a miracle of our dynasty, if it is really built. Just let the barbarians from all directions take a look, and they can make the barbarians from all directions submit to our dynasty, but it is ...... stronger than any army and killing, this is my top priority in Huaxia, naturally, let alone one million taels, even if it is two, three million taels will be smashed down. It's also worth it, and the Holy Son of Heaven won't blink an eye, you may not know the annual military salary now. But there are so many ten millions, so the Holy Son of Heaven never makes a loss-making business, don't you say? The person surnamed Lu immediately told the internal details and was triumphant. That's right.
"It's ......, it's ......"
"That's, that's ......"
Everyone nodded yes for a while, and many people didn't have a taste in their mouths. There are also some people who can't figure it out, these years ago. The tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty is only two or three million taels a year, but now. Just a year's military spending, it costs tens of millions of taels, this change is really a bit big, as for the amount of money there, they can't count the accounts, they don't understand, anyway, they only know, the emperor is getting richer and richer, everyone is getting richer and richer, this money seems to be the more spent, the more they earn, in a word, everyone is rich, everyone is making money, everyone is getting rich......
This kind of strange thing is something they didn't dare to think of before, and it wasn't like they didn't have no silver in their hands before, whose cellar or treasure chest didn't have some moldy silver? Who doesn't have a field in their hands? But even if he has thousands of acres of land in his hands, he is not so nourished as he is now, and he is not so rich, what is going on, many people still can't figure it out, anyway, they only know that following the emperor can always make money, and the family can always live a nourishing .........,
“…… Let's talk about what it has to do with this altar, this has something to do with us, let's talk about it, how many people are in our Beijing city, and how many people live on coal from Xishan? Over the course of the year, every family, even if it costs one or two pieces of silver, how much does this have to be? The person surnamed Nalu continued to pretend, obviously, this internal information is very informative and reassuring, as for the way to come, anyway, the way is absolutely regular, and it is said that there has been no mistake so far.
There was a commotion in the teahouse, and everyone began to calculate.
“…… Let's calculate again, whether the cement needed in this capital will also take this rail road, and whether the steel required will also take this rail road......" The man surnamed Lu said teasingly.
The crowd was again calculating.
“…… In this way, the railroad is indeed cheaper than the freight of ordinary horse-drawn carriages...... "There is a humane."
"Indeed, exactly, and that's why so much silver is spent on this, and if it can't be cheap, who would throw so much silver into it? Ordinary carriages can transport 1,000 catties, this rail road is said to be able to easily transport 2,000 catties, 3,000 catties, and does not consume much horsepower, it is really cheaper than ordinary carriages............ you may not know, this rail road, because it is fixed, can go day and night, not like ordinary carriages, it is not easy to walk at night, this rail road, but there is no trouble in this regard, so this is a profitable business" The man surnamed Nalu continued to show off, looking proud.
The person surnamed Lu said the truth, but the people on the side couldn't stand it and shouted: "...... Brother Lu, we all know all this news, let's not talk about it, let's get inside information all the time, we all know this......"
Everyone sighed again and shouted yes.
Suddenly, someone said, "That's not right! That's not right! That's not a good account! ……”
With the exclamation, everyone looked over, but saw a younger man shouting in surprise, and everyone was curious.
"Oh, why can't you settle the bill?" The person surnamed Lu flicked the teacup in his hand and smiled, as if he knew that someone would ask like this.
“…… Ladies and gentlemen, this is not an account! If you put aside the cultivators, if you only use it to transport some coal, cement and steel every year, and spend so many millions of taels to build such an expensive road, this can't be counted! It won't be ...... Fool us......" This person seemed to have found a flaw, said seriously, said somewhere, and arched his hand to the sky to show respect.
The people in the teahouse immediately started to talk about it, some continued to drink tea, looking fine, some exchanged heads and ears, and some closed their eyes to recuperate.
Seeing this, an old man couldn't help but stand up and say, "Young man! Business can't be counted as ......, even if it doesn't make much money every year. However, earning tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of taels, can win for a long time, after ten years. Isn't this business just net money? O young man! Still can't be too anxious......" the old man advised.
“…… Oh, yes! Brother Zhang, this is not the money that is in print, of course the money is not as fast as the money in the print, if the money is so stable, we will not follow to join in the fun...... or shopkeeper Zhang is reasonable, this thing is better than a long time, the family in the capital does not use briquettes to boil water for cooking? Someone immediately agreed.
The teahouse is even more lively. There are those who are in favor and those who are against, and most of the opponents are in favor of the fact that the profits are not as big as they imagined. As far as the emperor will not do loss-making business, it is very lively.
After arguing for a long time, there was no conclusion, but everyone saw the person surnamed Lu drinking tea with a smile on the side, and immediately shifted the focus, everyone knows. I'm afraid that this guy still has inside information there that hasn't been poured out. …,
"Brother Lu, looking at the appearance of you sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, you know that there must be a saying in it......" Everyone turned their eyes over.
"Ahem...... this man's eyes! He really had to look a little further away, not just at the front of him. This money does have a lot of interest and comes quickly. But it's also an unreliable business, is there anyone in this world who takes the money for the seal as an ancestral business? You can get the money for the print. Something that can be put on the table? ......" the person surnamed Lu said here, with a look of disdain.
“…… Ahem,...... Naturally, it can't be compared with this kind of trade that can eat and drink for millions of dollars at every turn, and you can think about it, what we eat and wear in Beijing is not shipped from the south? This dozens of miles from the capital to Tongzhou, if there is a railway track, not to mention anything else, you think about it, just the grain, how much money do you have to make every year, this is a hardcore crop, is this something that can be saved? Think about it again, the cement, coal, and iron in the West Mountain directly pass through Tongzhou and go directly to the canal, how wide is this trade route at this time? Whether it's cement, coal, or iron, how much does it have to be sold? ......" This person surnamed Lu has shaken off the truth until now, his face is full of scenery and pride, as if this railway road was built by him.
“…… Therefore, don't look at this rail road as a bottomless pit now, but if you don't invest money in it now, the railway to Tongzhou will be built in the future, can you have your share? I'm afraid it's a dream......" The person surnamed Lu said loudly, looking at the person who sang against him just now with disdain, with a look of victory on his face, their group of people, the internal information that they spent money to inquire about was indeed not in vain, it was worth it.
The people in the teahouse were even more discussed, and the person who said that he couldn't count the account just now was ridiculed and embarrassed, so he had to keep silent, but then he put this embarrassment behind him, and began to calculate carefully, how much money he wanted to invest in, and he put the Yinzi money in the business, although there was a few money, but really, it really couldn't be raised to the door, and indeed, and there was no Yinzi money as the ancestral business, which said that the ancestors couldn't afford to lose that face, and what compared with Caoyun, the hardcore crops that maintained the operation of the Ming Dynasty, Can this man skip eating? Can the dignitaries and dignitaries of the capital not eat the things shipped from the south? Since the railway track from Xishan to the capital has been built, and then some money is spent to repair the road to Tongzhou, it is just a gesture, not to mention the trade of transporting grain into Beijing, just the output of this Xishan, such as steel, cement, coal, and so on, these things go south along the canal, this trade route will be opened all of a sudden, and everything in the capital will not have to take this rail road? You must know that many of the ships that come up from Cao are empty, even if they can carry some things, they can't get much freight, but if they can bring these things from the capital on the way back, there is no doubt that this is a huge deal.
This real inside story has been poured out, the pot has exploded in this teahouse, indeed, anything that has anything to do with Cao Yun is hot, not to mention them, even the courtiers, and the big officials have to fight for it.
“…… Brother Lu, but really? Isn't that fake? Someone anxiously asked, and the inside story they got together with the money was naturally to be asked.
“…… Oh, yes! Brother Lu, this is big news! I just don't know what the above is doing, and whether to sell stocks or not? If you still sell stocks, then this stock will definitely have to break your head! Immediately, someone anxiously analyzed that there are too many examples of relying on Caoyun to make profits, so don't say more.
“…… Brother Lu, if this time is the same as before, or participate in shares, then it is easy to say, if we can't participate in shares, then this kind of feast, but there is no ...... for me, we have to find a way! ...... "Some people are anxious, needless to say, such hardcore trading, everyone is still not allowed to break the scalp?" Those dignitaries and dignitaries obviously have more means and ability than people of their level to get stocks, and they don't know how much leftover water there is, even if there is leftover water, they feel that it is a feast. …,
“…… Brother Lu, you have a ...... say, how is this trick? What's the news? This saint ...... tomorrow," the people in the teahouse asked anxiously.
The man surnamed Lu smiled confidently, fiddling with the teacup with the lid in his hand.
“…… Be quiet, ......, everyone, be quiet, let Brother Lu say...... "Someone immediately stood up to maintain order."
The crowd immediately fell silent, and they all looked at the person surnamed Lu with blank eyes.
“…… Ahem, what about this news, it is absolutely true, but this thing is not to be sold as a stock, this is not clear, it is said that this has to be judged by the Holy Son of Heaven,...... Therefore, don't look at the construction of the railroad track now, it is throwing silver on the ground, but in fact, in the secret, even the qualification to throw silver on the ground has to be robbed of the head...... who said, when did the Son of Heaven make a loss-making transaction? Wasn't that one big deal in the Holy Tomorrow? With the ability of the Holy Son of Heaven, is this more than 100,000 taels, hundreds of thousands of taels worth his old man's making such a big move? The person surnamed Lu said with a serious face.
"Well, that makes sense, that makes sense......"
“…… It makes sense, let's just say, can there be anything wrong with the path pointed out by the Son of Heaven? We're just too cowardly, we've missed many opportunities, and this time, we're never going to let it go......," someone immediately said.
“…… Hey, you want to touch the light of the Holy Tomorrow, this time, I don't know if I can keep up, this time, this fact is too big, it involves Cao Yun, I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be an official office, then there will be nothing for us, then we don't even want to drink the leftover water......" Someone immediately analyzed.
“…… That is, listening to what Brother Lu said, this official is only afraid that he will break his head, and he will have to queue up for the qualifications to throw silver on the ground, when will it be our turn......" said with a sigh.
As soon as these few words came out, they immediately attracted the approval of countless people, indeed, this railway track and Cao Yun are involved, if it becomes a part of Cao Yun, then they have nothing to do, they don't even have the qualifications to throw silver.
“…… Alas, it is difficult to say whether it will be made into an official office, and it is difficult to say whether the Shengtianzi will sell this stock or not, and it is still difficult to say ......, everything has to wait for Lord Sun's railroad track to be paved before a conclusion can be made! Some people lamented that it seems that there is no share of such a big feast now, which is really unpleasant, but there is no way, this has always been the priority of dignitaries and dignitaries, they can only eat leftovers, and it is likely that they will not even be able to eat leftovers.
The people in the teahouse sighed again, and they did get the inside information for the money, but unfortunately, this opportunity seemed to have left them. (To be continued......)
