For a person like Mrs. Zhou, this kind of thinking is actually reasonable.

Why should I build a railroad for you on my land?

I know what this railroad is, I heard that it is very noisy, and it is screaming across eating and eating, what if it kills the crops in the field next to me?

People like Mrs. Zhou, don't look at the fact that they are very scared when they face Jinyiwei.

But people have been operating in the local area for more than ten generations, and they may not have heard of such people in other places, but in Shandong, they are also well-known figures.

Now...... Since people are asking for the door, what are you polite?

In fact, from the position of his gentry, he also feels very aggrieved, don't I just have a lot of land? Isn't it reasonable for those electric tenants to cultivate my family's land, add two to one, and pay half of the tenant rent every year? Why do you want to rob my family of land in the new policy?

I can be rich, this is handed down by my ancestors, why can my ancestors pass it down to the earth, but your ancestors have not passed it down?

Here, in fact, there is also a theoretical basis, at least in this era, the theoretical foundation is very deep, as the so-called good house, there must be afterglow, and the house of bad accumulators, there must be aftermath.

In other words, the reason why my family has such a big family business is because my ancestors were virtuous people and were good people.

And why there are so many disasters in your family, shouldn't you think about your own reasons?

The same is true of the railway, the land of the ancestors can be sold, and the price is ...... I've got the final say. If you have a lot of mouths, you won't sell it.

Now the railway company has begun to work overtime desperately, and on the same day, the chief engineer Zhang Bangzheng hurriedly found Zhang Jingyi.

His face was very unsightly.

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "What, how can I have leisure today." ”

Zhang Bangzheng said with a stiff face: "Something is going to happen." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Jing said: "You can talk about it." ”

"Your Highness, please take a look, this is the recalculated cost of the railway, and this road can't be repaired."

Zhang Bangzheng has a very bad temper, even if he sometimes looks at Zhang Jingyi, he doesn't have a good face. It's not because he doesn't respect Zhang Jingyi, but as the chief foreman, his feet don't touch the ground every day, and almost everyone comes to him for ideas, this kind of irritability and pressure is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Zhang Jingyi barely endured this guy, after all, ...... It is rare to have to understand engineering and have rich organizational experience.

Zhang Jingyi calmly opened an account, but it was a dense account inside, but it directly made Zhang Jing's head big, fortunately, this Zhang Bangzheng was very intimate with a fool's version of the list in it.

Zhang Jing took a quick look at it, and then exclaimed: "A railway in Shandong, the cost is 200 million taels of silver?" You're not kidding, are you? ”

"No kidding." Zhang Bangzheng said seriously: "The preparatory work in the early stage has all stopped, so many new steel workshops have been opened, and now I don't know whether to continue to build, once the project is delayed, every day is a huge loss, and so many people have been recruited before, they are ready to start construction, and these people have to eat and drink, and they can't be ignored, but now...... The rails can't be laid. ”

"Along the way, there are more than 1,900 owners of land, large and small, involving more than 1,900 landowners, large and small, these more than 1,900 are now being discussed, some of them are quite happy, but they agreed, but there are some people, very difficult, especially many gentry, they have a basis, the price is often hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a piece of land, and there are also children and nephews who are asked by the imperial court to arrange an official in the railway company to do it. The students asked them to calculate that the cost of the land alone was an astonishing price. ”

He paused and said, "If it's just to buy land, it's fine, the question is...... It's hard to talk about it now, what year and month did you talk about it from a family? There are also people who negotiated today, and after a few days, they regretted it again, and after a few days, the price doubled again, lest they feel that they still suffered a loss. Now the question is...... Some people have regarded this as a sweet pastry, and many people have secretly accumulated strength and mobilized their clans, planning to rely on the railway company to earn the family business of more than ten generations of their children and grandchildren. ”

Zhang Jingyi: "......"

After a while, Zhang Jingyi said patiently: "You can talk to them well, don't worry." ”

"I'm in a hurry." Zhang Bang was angry to death, and said: "Laying the railway, it's about fast, it's a few days today, and a few days tomorrow, what about the tens of thousands of craftsmen recruited?" What about the steel that is constantly being made? What to do with the developed iron ore? There are also various tools for preparing for engineering, the longer it drags on, the more rainy and snowy the weather encounters, and I don't know how much it is lost. If it dragged on for a day, tens of thousands of taels of silver were thrown into the water, and there was no splash at all. ”

"The railway in Shandong can't be repaired. Not only Shandong, but also those who go to Liaodong are not much better, but it is okay outside the Guan, and the land in Liaodong is ...... Under the control of His Royal Highness, everyone only needs to study a practical route plan to solve the problems and difficulties in the project. ”

"But what about the section from Beijing to Shanhaiguan? Here is also a densely populated place, large and small landlords have hundreds, the gentry of Beizhili are not as bold as the gentry of Shandong, directly the lion opened his mouth, but they are not bold, there are methods, that is, everything is easy to talk, everything is willing to talk, but it is said that it is not close to talk, everyone is looking at the direction of the wind, especially when I heard that someone next door offered a price of three hundred taels of silver, five hundred and twenty-one acres, or one thousand two acres, although I did not make a sound, but I was secretly happy in my heart. Even the honest people who sold their land at the market price at the beginning refused to do it, and they couldn't sell their land for 34 taels at the market price...... If you don't want to, why should you? ”

Zhang Jing saw that he was full of complaints and complaints, and said with relief: "This is how to build a railway, don't be in a hurry, take your time, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

Zhang Bangzheng was inexplicably anxious for a while: "Your Highness, you can't say that, it was Your Highness who built the railway at the beginning, and it was your ...... that built the railway."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said: "Okay, don't be like this, this kind of thing, after all, it still has to be fate, and it's normal to have difficulties." It's just that...... In this matter, it is still necessary to fulfill the obligation to inform, but those shareholders cannot be left unaware. ”

"Okay, take care of this slowly. It's not that I don't want to solve the problem, it's this problem, I Zhang Jing can solve it alone, my ability is limited, if you think other people have this ability, then please be smart. ”

Zhang Bangzheng: "......"

Zhang Jingyi simply spread his hands and simply ignored it.

No matter how you manage this kind of thing, it is a dead word horizontally and vertically.

Of course, it wasn't him Zhang Jingyi who died anyway.

Let them go.

On the same day, Zhang Jingyi went home surprisingly early.

Zhu Huijiao was struggling to hold a book to read, and when she saw someone coming to inform Zhang Jing that she was back, she got up to greet her.

Zhang Jingyi had already come in in a hurry, glanced at Princess Le'an, and then his eyes fell on the book, and said with a smile: "What book are you reading today?" Could it be that poetry and poetry are endowed with those, and when it comes to poetry and songs......"

Zhu Huijiao said with a smile: "Look at this scripture, there is another one, called the Railway Record." ”

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but be surprised: "It's strange that there are such books on the market." ”

Now the whole world is anxious about the railway, and some people take this opportunity to write all kinds of books, which are actually selling well.

Zhu Huijiao said: "I look at the railway record about this railway, and also says that there are all kinds of profits in the future, saying that there is such a profitable thing in the world, and our Zhang family also has a lot of stocks?" Husband, doesn't that mean ......"

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense, where in the world is there anything that is profitable?" The so-called book of profits is just to tell you the good side, but never tell you any risks. The so-called profit side is actually just a group of people whistling and emboldened. ”

"Risk?" Zhu Huijiao said in surprise: "Is there a risk here?" Doesn't it mean that if the road is repaired, you can enter the gold bucket every day? What freight, passenger transport, mail, in addition, there are businesses, warehouses and so on, all of which are profitable. ”

As soon as Zhang Jing sat down, waited for the maid to bring him tea, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Whose book is this?" ”

"It is said that it was written by an anonymous person, and the head of the writing is the Tao, and it seems that he is not a simple person."

Zhang Jing was happy: "These guys, their heads are full of silver, but they are afraid that people will know that they are greedy for money, such a book, it is better not to read it, read too much, but lose their judgment." ”

Zhu Huijiao said with a surprised face: "What does the husband mean......"

Zhang Jing said: "The so-called profit is based on the fact that Your Majesty and I have overcome obstacles in order to build the railway, and it is Your Majesty and I who have cleared the obstacles and braved the world's condemnation in order to promote the railway, so these people have eaten the benefits together, but they only know that they can eat meat after repairing the railway, heh...... Is this meat so delicious? Just wait and see, these people who are looking forward to eating meat, they are all going to die. ”

Zhu Huijiao was startled, because she saw Zhang Jingyi's face inexplicably free up murderous aura.

"Husband...... What's going on? ”

Zhang Jingyi realized something at this time, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that there are too many things in the court, and I feel a little unhappy." ”

"Husband...... Are you going to kill again? "Zhu Huijiao has also heard a little about things outside.

Zhang Jingyi didn't want to scare his little wife, but patiently explained: "It's not necessarily to kill, it's just ...... If you want the big guys to have a plan in their hearts, you have to tell some people that they are either on the side of Your Majesty and me, or they are our enemies. ”

After saying that, he said with a relaxed face: "Ha...... Don't talk about that! I've also read this book, and I'd like to see how these people have emboldened themselves. ”
