Li Liang has always been more direct, and he is indeed very direct.

Building a railway is a very expensive thing, so Zhan Tianyou also hopes to grasp the situation. This time he wants to build more than just two or three hundred kilometers, the money to be consumed is afraid to be calculated in tens of millions, naturally he hopes to go to the Ministry of Finance to see how much surplus is left, so he has some spectrum in his heart...

However, after listening to Zhan Tianyou's intentions, Li Liang directly showed him the accounts of the Ministry of Finance.

Zhan Tianyou, who was originally a little excited and a little apprehensive in his heart, suddenly turned bitter after reading the accounts.

The accounts of the Ministry of Finance have reached the point of negative, and it is impossible to continue to support the Ministry of Communications in building railways no matter how you think about it.

"Is that so..."With a wry smile, Zhan Tianyou's whole body became depressed. Then I'm bother..."With that, Zhan Tianyou got up from his chair and planned to leave Li Liang's office.

But just as he was about to leave, Li Liang took the first step to hold down his shoulder, and there was a hint of ...... on his face Bad smile, that's right, according to Zhan Tianyou's memories afterwards, the smile on Li Liang's face at that time should indeed be called a bad smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chengcheng..."

With a wicked smile on his face, Zhan Tianyou was pressed back to his seat, and Li Liang said with a smile.

"I don't really have any extra money here, but I have it somewhere else..."

"Somewhere else?" Hearing Li Liang say this, Zhan Tianyou looked a little puzzled.

Not surprisingly, unlike officials from other departments. Zhan Tianyou, the deputy minister of communications, can be said to have been running around Anhui in the past few months, and he has rarely been able to stop and rest, so he naturally does not know much about the inner workings of the Anhui military government.

In his way of thinking. The Ministry of Finance is obviously the richest in a government department, and if even the Ministry of Finance can't come up with this money, then it's really hard for him to imagine anyone else who can come up with such a large amount of money...

"Please..."With a helpless smile, Li Liang continued. You really haven't heard of it, have you? ”

"What?" Zhan Tianyou's face was full of inexplicability.

Seeing that Zhan Tianyou really didn't know what to do, Li Liang thought about it and continued. "Our junta's spending has always been very high, although the taxes are also very high, but such a high level of support. This tax alone is simply not enough to make ends meet, not to mention that the governor has also reduced so many tax items, in this case. How do you think it is possible for the junta to afford tens of millions of arms purchases? ”

"You mean?" Although it was still a little inexplicable, Zhan Tianyou seemed to understand something.

After hearing his words, Li Liang said with a wicked smile. "So, in fact, our junta is spending now. It's all the governor's own money. If there is any need for money, as long as you go to him, you can basically solve it."

"Looking for the Governor?" Although he had more or less guessed something, after hearing Li Liang say this, Zhan Tianyou was still stunned. "But this construction project is very large, if you look for the governor, the governor will be willing to pay such a large amount of money, right?"

"Is this..."The right hand touched his chin, and Li Liang thought about it. I think so. It should be no problem, and he is not in vain. Every time, they will ask us to make an IOU, saying that when we have money in the future, we will let them pay it back, but right...... Even if we owe less than 100 million to the governor now, it's actually almost too much, and I'm afraid we'll owe more in the future, so I guess I won't be able to pay it back in this life, but it's hard to say, maybe the governor will chase the debt when the time comes..."

"100 million..."

Not to mention that Li Liang was still thinking about repaying the money there, Zhan Tianyou was frightened by Li Liang's words.

"Okay, Mr. Cheng..."Patting Zhan Tianyou on the shoulder, Li Liang smiled. Then you just need to go to the Governor's Mansion and ask the Governor for this money, I'm basically just a decoration here..."

I can't say that, at least the monthly tax will still be paid here, but there are too many places to spend money now, so every time the tax is just in hand, it has been spent in the blink of an eye.

Now in the military government, except for Zhan Tianyou, an engineer who has been exploring the terrain, he basically already knows that he wants money, and he can just go directly to Yan Shao, and there is no need to come to the Ministry of Finance at all.

But then again, Li Liang was so enthusiastic about this matter entirely because the railway greatly promoted the development of the economy, and it was not his money that was spent anyway, so he naturally saw that the railway was being built more and more.

————————————————————

Pushing open the door and walking out of Li Liang's office, from the spacious corridor to the office building of the Ministry of Finance, Zhan Tianyou's mind was a little muddy.

He could never have imagined that the Anhui Military Government, which is now known as the third most powerful force, would rely on Yan Shao alone to support its finances...

"Sir, you're all right, are you?" Seeing Zhan Tianyou coming out of the Ministry of Finance in a daze, Xiao Zhang, who was wiping the car with a rag outside the gate, hurriedly greeted him. "Even if you don't get the money, you don't have to be so sad..."

As Zhan Tianyou's driver and entourage, Xiao Zhang naturally knows a lot about Zhan Tianyou, and now when he sees Zhan Tianyou coming out of the Ministry of Finance like this, he thinks that it is because the money thing has not been done, so he is a little depressed.

However, after hearing Xiao Zhang's words, Zhan Tianyou shook his head and said. "It's not what you think...", he opened the car door and sat down on it. Let's go, let's go to the Governor's Mansion next..."

Although he didn't know what was going on, after listening to Zhan Tianyou's words, Xiao Zhang still sat back in the driver's seat and nodded. "It's good..."

After saying that, he started the car and drove in the direction of the Governor's Palace.

Today's weather is nice, the sun is shining, and it's a holiday, so many pedestrians have run out into the streets, causing some traffic jams.

At this time, there were still many flaws in the traffic laws, especially in China, after all, the car is still a rare object in China. Traffic police in the modern sense originated in London. In the 60s of the 19th century, with the increase in horse-drawn carriages. The London Metropolitan Police has assigned special police officers to direct traffic at busy intersections, using whistles, batons, and hand gestures. During the day, traffic is well directed, but at night, due to poor visibility, they are difficult to see by passing coachmen and pedestrians. In order to make it easier for them to identify, they began to use kerosene lamps when they took up their posts, and the surface of kerosene lamps was a glass cover, and the glass cover was red and green, and green indicated that it was passable. Red indicates that no traffic is permitted.

However, in China, although the automobile has been in China for a long time in history, in 1908 Shanghai even opened a tram and successively opened various bus routes. But it wasn't until the middle of the 20th century that a series of traffic laws appeared...

In other words, even if there is a traffic jam, it can only be combed by the police...

What's more, it's still a holiday. There are children everywhere who come out to play with the adults. As a result, the streets are very congested...

Although Zhan Tianyou had already come out early, it wasn't until noon that the car strained the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion...

————————————————————

When the car drove into the yard, Zhan Tianyou's heart was a little apprehensive.

Because this time is different from the past, it is no longer a trivial fight, and the railways that need to be repaired are probably as many as 1,000 kilometers, and Li Liang also said that in the past, the military government's expenditures were all strictly stated. Who knows if Yan Shao is willing to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars for these railways?

It was with this apprehension in my heart that I drank a large cup of coffee. Zhan Tianyou finally met Yan Shao.

"Mr. Chengcheng, I heard that you have something to see me? I don't know what the road is? ”

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, looking at Zhan Tianyou, who seemed to be a little restless in front of him, Yan Shao's heart was somewhat curious.

Since the appointment of Zhan Tianyou as the deputy minister of transportation, Yan Shao has rarely seen this railway master, so he is naturally a little curious about what he is here for...

And after listening to Yan Shao's words, gritting his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, Zhan Tianyou took out a drawing from his briefcase. "Dudu, this is the result of my work in the past few months..."Saying that, he walked in front of Yan Shao with the drawings, and Zhan Tianyou slowly unfolded the drawings...

On the other hand, looking at Zhan Tianyou's cautious appearance, he didn't know what to do, but Yan Shao remembered the scene when Jing Ke assassinated Qin, and instinctively leaned back, until Zhan Tianyou completely spread out the drawings, and then returned to his normal sitting posture...

"What is this?" Looking at the lines drawn on the drawings, Yan Shao guessed a little, but still asked.

Of course, he could see that the drawings were drawn on a map of Anhui, and the lines on it should be some lines of the railway, but the question was...... He doesn't know how to railroad...

If you guess correctly, it is natural to guess such a simple thing correctly, but if you guess wrong, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

Not knowing the little caution in Yan Shao's heart, Zhan Tianyou spoke. "This is Anhui's railway road map, is the result of my work in the past few months, because the time is too late, so for the time being, only these are planned, there are still a lot of efforts to continue to work in the later stage, I sincerely come this time, is to hope that the governor can give more support in this matter..."

"No problem..."Pretending to look at the things on the drawing, Yan Shao nodded. No problem, I'll write you a note in a while, and you can go to the Ministry of Finance to get the money..." "Upfront, is five million enough?"

"This..."Zhan Tianyou smiled bitterly. I just came from the Ministry of Finance, and Minister Li said that the Ministry of Finance has no money, and asked me to come to you to solve it..."

"No money again?" Yan Shao was stunned. "I remember last month's taxes were just collected..."

In this regard, Zhan Tianyou did not say a word...

I looked down and thought about it, the matter of the railway is indeed a big deal, and this thing is extremely time-consuming to repair, if it can be repaired a day earlier, it can be repaired by an extra kilometer.

"Forget it, it's not bad anyway..."Thinking like this, Yan Shao thought about Zhan Tianyou. Wait a minute, I'll pack up my things first, and then you go to the manor with me, and I'll take the money for you..."

Anyway, it can't cost 'much money', it's a big deal to ask Zhan Tianyou to write an IOU, and let the Ministry of Finance repay the money in the future—————— although it doesn't cost much, but he always takes money from his own small treasury, Yan Shao always feels a little unhappy.

On the other hand, seeing that Yan Shao agreed, Zhan Tianyou was also happy.

Five million is not much. But the early stage is still enough, with these five million, it is enough for Zhan Tianyou to repair two or three hundred kilometers first.

Now that the matter has been talked about here. Yan Shao didn't talk nonsense with Zhan Tianyou, he packed up his things and got up directly.

However, just as Yan Shao and Zhan Tianyou were about to leave the office, Wu Qianqiu, who had been following beside him, spoke. "Governor, what should we do next?"

"Let's cancel them all...", Yan Shao's heart was also a little happy. It's important to get down to business, it's important to get down to business..."Saying this, Yan Shao even took the initiative to pull Zhan Tianyou's arm and walked inside, while in the back. Wu Qianqiu shook his head helplessly.

The longer he followed Yan Shao, the more he found out that this governor of his country was really ...... Very lazy...

But he has a good temper, and he usually doesn't retaliate even if someone offends. So in the eyes of Wu Qianqiu and others, it is also a very good thing to follow such a 'boss', at least there is no need to worry about the ugly death in the future.

On the other hand, Yan Shao, who took Zhan Tianyou's arm and left, was also a little happy in his heart. Because if it weren't for Zhan Tianyou. I'm afraid it's another busy day.

As for the money, it should be spent anyway, and he won't be too distressed, but he is a little depressed.

————————————————————

Wu Qianqiu followed out after making some calls and canceling all the arrangements, and outside, Yan Shao and Zhan Tianyou had already taken in the car.

The car is naturally still Liulan. It's nothing more than a special edition...

Compared to other cars, the body has been specially reinforced. It is much stronger than an ordinary car, even to the point that ordinary rifle bullets can't penetrate it, and the glass of the car has also been replaced with bulletproof glass—————— which Li Yin inadvertently made.

At that time, a researcher at the institute was sorting out chemicals when he accidentally knocked over a medicine bottle to the ground. Strangely, the glass vial was not broken, but there were some cracks on the surface. He carefully studied the reason, it turned out that the bottle had been filled with a solution of cellulose trinitrate, and the solution had volatilized, and it was evenly attached to the inner wall of the bottle to form a thin film, and it was this film that kept the bottle from falling into the glass.

After much research, the researcher at the end of the year came up with safety glass, for which he was rewarded with a large amount of money—————— in the early twentieth century, in addition to direct casualties, most of the ordinary car accidents were stabbed by flying glass, and the significance of this invention can be imagined.

And after receiving a large reward, the researcher also made persistent efforts, and after some hard work, he managed to make bulletproof glass that ordinary bullets could not penetrate.

Sitting in this kind of car, even if someone is sweeping outside with a machine gun, there will be no surprise for a while, so almost all the cars in the junta were replaced with this bulletproof version.

Maybe Yan Shao's luck was better than Zhan Tianyou, Zhan Tianyou also experienced a traffic jam on the way here, but when they left, there was no obstacle along the way...

In a short time, the car had already driven out of the city and came to the manor by the big lake.

Since serving as the deputy minister of transportation, Zhan Tianyou has not returned to Anqing for a long time, and naturally he has not seen Yan Shao's new home. And after seeing the appearance of the manor, Zhan Tianyou also had some confidence in this trip.

At the same time, Eleno and the others, who were enjoying a beautiful day on the lawn outside the mansion, were also a little surprised to see Yan Shao come back, because according to the plan, it was impossible for him to come back at least until tonight.

However, Elainor and the others were a little happy that he could come back, so when the car stopped in front of and behind the door of the mansion, they also put down the things in their hands and greeted them, and then they saw Zhan Tianyou who got out of the car with Yan Shao.

"Who is this?" Looking at Zhan Tianyou, Elaline and the others faintly felt a little familiar.

No way, although they have also seen Zhan Tianyou, after all, he has not been back to Anqing for too long, and if they say that they can't remember it very well for a few months.

After bending down and saying hello to Fumiko with a smile, Yan Shao pointed to Zhan Tianyou and introduced them to them. "This is Zhan Tianyou Zhan Cheng, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications, Mr. Zhan Cheng has just completed the railway exploration work, and this time I came back to get some money, and then build the railway..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Elaline and the others also remembered.

As for money, they don't really care. So after nodding to Zhan Tianyou, a few people returned to the lawn and continued to enjoy the day...

After the 4 big ones led the 1 small one away, Zhan Tianyou also breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know many things, and he thought that these were Yan Shao's family members, so he inevitably behaved a little restrained.

At the same time, after letting Zhan Tianyou wait in the main hall, Yan Shao also returned to the safe in the bedroom.

After snapping one of the twin goddesses' wings down, the safe behind the bookshelf was soon revealed.

Most of Yan Shao's net worth is stored in several large banks, but there are usually about 10 million pounds of cash in the safe in case of emergency, so Zhan Tianyou's request is not very difficult in Yan Shao's opinion...

After opening the safe, Yan Shao originally planned to take out five million, but after thinking about it, he still took a check worth one million pounds from the safe...

One million pounds, that is, more than ten million, when Yan Shao handed over the money to Zhan Tianyou, Zhan Tianyou's face suddenly showed a look of surprise...

At this point, the era of railway construction in Anhui has officially begun... (To be continued......)
