Zhang Jingyi looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, in fact, the current Emperor of the Apocalypse, most of the things will communicate with Zhang Jingyi in private.

This also stems from the character of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who is both warm and extremely shrewd.

It is precisely because of his shrewdness that he will not be deceived by Donglin at the beginning, and he will soon be able to see through the essence of the problem, and after sitting firmly in the world, he will immediately use Wei Zhongxian as the starting point to clean up the Donglin Party.

But at the same time, in his temperament, there is rarely the mean and unkind side that the emperor should have, and because of this, he can trust Zhang Jingyi and is willing to let Zhang Jingyi do it.

And he was lucky to meet Zhang Jingyi, who was a man of two lives.

Although Zhang Jingyi also has a selfish side, he is really not interested in the affairs of the emperor, and he is not interested in building a huge palace for himself and then putting himself in a delicate cage.

What's more, he knows very well that the emperor is just a title, and in fact, the power of the world can be grasped...... All dynasties, or ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, rely on individuals.

He doesn't have much of a sense of loyalty, but he has a lot of righteousness among friends.

For Li Zicheng's matter, he has actually thought a lot about it, Li Zicheng is the best of all the rogues, fighting from the bottom, and can stand out, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that a considerable part of the gentry and the Guan Ning Army led by Wu Sangui welcomed the entry of the Eight Banners, I am afraid that he may really become the founder of the country.

Therefore, in addition to the need for superior ability, luck is also very important.

In the face of such a person, the greatest respect is to take this enemy seriously.

Therefore, Zhang Jingyi was very cautious, he said: "Recruiting the gentry is indeed making up for Li Zicheng's shortcomings, but it will also make his headquarters contradict these gentry who have joined." Of course...... The reason why Li Zicheng dared to do this was obviously because he thought that his prestige was enough to suppress his old subordinates. What's more, with the help of the gentry, he did gain a firm foothold, and it was easy to be convinced. ”

"But the question now is, does Your Majesty think that today it is possible to rely on the gentry? Your Majesty is now carrying out a new policy, in order to get rid of the gentry, open up the world, and do an unprecedented career, and other people's patterns, after all, are still in the cycle of this thousand years, if Your Majesty believes in yourself, then Li Zicheng is expected to be unable to succeed, but if Your Majesty does not believe in himself, the minister will have nothing to say. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at him thoughtfully and said, "What you said makes sense, the problem is not Li Zicheng, but me, but you can talk about it...... If the gentry of the world really deviate from morality, can I defeat them? ”

Zhang Jing said: "As long as we build our railways, train our soldiers, and cultivate our talents, then there is no one in this world who can stop Your Majesty." ”

"Reasonable." Emperor Apocalypse nodded, his eyes became more and more determined, and said: "Since I have made a choice, then naturally I can't go to Qin Duchu, and now in this situation, the only way is to continue to implement the new policy, as for Li Zicheng and Zhang Zicheng, they think that they can go through the old road, so let them go well, and I will do my own thing." It's just that...... Just let Li Zicheng go in the Jingxiang area, after all, he was a little unwilling. ”

"I thought it was ...... That's not a bad thing. Zhang Jing smiled meaningfully, then stared at the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said, "I heard that Li Zicheng is quite capable of restraining military horses, and his military horses and military discipline are also the best among the crowds, so ...... I am not worried that he will harm the people. Keep him, then in this world, who is His Majesty's friend and who is His Majesty's enemy, won't you be able to see it clearly? Wouldn't it be good to wait for His Majesty to fight to the death after His Majesty has fought to the death, and then he will just wipe them out? ”

Emperor Tianqi stroked the case, and said: "He Li Zicheng needs to gain a foothold in Jingxiang, and I also need to breathe a sigh of relief, what you said is reasonable, I can take a look." ”

As if he had thought of something, he immediately said, "How many students are there in the military academy now?" ”

"There are 10,000 people in Liaodong, and there are 30,000 in the military academy in Beijing."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "It's still not enough, I have given you enough silver, this man is still too few, I see, at least another 350,000 people need to be added." ”

Zhang Jingyi looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse helplessly and said: "The minister also wants to expand the recruitment, but the new school building is still being built, plus the gunpowder and steel workshops are also expanding, and my Ming people have it, but the ammunition of the equipment, as well as all kinds of equipment, firearms, and military materials, but the production cannot keep up, Your Majesty...... Silver is useful, but there is only so much output in the world, but blindly spending silver, this will cause more money and less goods, but it will pull out the seedlings and promote the depreciation of silver. Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to grasp production. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "If there are not enough firearms, then there will be more workshops to make firearms." ”

"But firearms need to be made of steel."

"Then smelt steel."

"Steel needs coal and iron ore."

"Then mine more."

"The ore needs to be surveyed, and now the railroad also costs a lot of steel."

Hearing this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but say: "It's really a hair that moves the whole body, I understand it now, it turns out that there are so many Ming Halls in it." ”

As he spoke, the Emperor of the Apocalypse got up and sighed, "It seems...... It is a top priority to collect the world's mountains and forests, and it is necessary to have a mining company to take charge of the world's mineral affairs. ”

Zhang Jing said, "This matter...... In fact, the minister also wanted to tell His Majesty that the minister also planned to set up a mining company in Liaodong. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked back at Zhang Jingyi: "It turns out that you have already made up your mind, won't I become opponents with you in the future?" ”

Zhang Jingyi sighed and said, "Why did Your Majesty say this? A corner of Liaodong is also a place of bitter cold, such a place, where can it compare to Your Majesty's two capitals and thirteen provinces? That is, just a sip of soup, a sip of soup. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed and said, "It's okay, you can open it if you want to, and I don't care about anything outside the gate." ”

Zhang Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he said that the ghost place in Liaodong must not have any minerals.

But in good conscience, Liaodong is rich in resources, whether it is iron or coal, it is the best in the world.

There are indeed a lot of minerals in the Kannai, but most of them, because there are too many mountains and mountains, in fact, it is more difficult to mine, and under today's conditions, the cost is extremely high.

But Liaodong is different, many minerals there are much easier to excavate, plus there is a flat river, very flat, compared to Guannai, there are hills and ravines everywhere, which is far from being comparable to Guannai.

In addition to making money, for Zhang Jingyi, it is the vast and sparsely populated area of Liaodong, and if you want to attract the population, in addition to countless arable land, you also need to have the support of the current high-profit industry, so that you can open a higher salary and attract people out of the customs, and the mining industry with relatively low mining costs may be an opportunity.

Moreover, there are many industries driven by the mining industry, and various smelting workshops can be established nearby in the future, and then some mechanical workshops can be derived, and then transported to all parts of the world by rail.

With a full population, Liaodong can be greatly developed, and this is Zhang Jingyi's most important goal.

The next day, the newspaper came out.

Sure enough, the railway company has begun to launch a package of railway construction plans, and the railway between Liaodong and Shandong is about to start.

On the other hand, the railway that is about to go to Xuanfu and will slowly extend to Fengqiu in the future has been launched.

This railway can be extended to Henan, among other things...... It's just some branch railways.

In fact, if this announcement doesn't come out, it has no meaning.

Because stocks are still hard to find, they are still rising wildly.

Liu Hongxun didn't sleep all night, excited, in one day, the stock rose four times, and the cost of seven or eight taels of silver to buy back the stock finally returned to the capital.

In addition, his son spent two taels of silver a few days ago to buy another batch of them.

In other words, so far, the Liu family has made a profit of 200,000 taels of silver.

What is the concept of 200,000 taels?

According to a big family like the Liu family, it takes at least two or three generations of business to accumulate such wealth.

Can ...... now It's just a matter of one day.

This money came too easily, so that at this time, Liu Hongxun no longer looked down on the income of ordinary petty fights.

People are like this, the threshold of happiness is getting higher and higher, just like wealth, a person who has only ten taels of silver earns twenty taels of silver, and he feels extremely happy, and can grin for a month. But if a person who can earn 200,000 taels of silver in a day gives him a 'high salary' of 1,000 taels of silver a month, he is afraid that he will be listless.

"This stock, don't sell it, it's an heirloom!"

In the dead of night, Liu Hongxun paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, he looked at his son Liu Wenchang, and continued to explain: "With these stocks, relying on annual dividends, our Liu family will definitely not lose, the railway company has sent accounts to the cabinet, the old man has seen it carefully, as long as this road continues to be repaired, it will be a huge profit, and it will definitely not be lost." Dividends are a sum of silver, and if the value of this stock rises in the future, I don't know how much I can earn, isn't this better than renting land for farming? You must not have the mentality of a gambler, but be ...... Sometimes don't worry about the ups and downs......"

Liu Wenchang hurriedly said: "My son doesn't plan to sell it, whoever sells stocks in the market now is a fool." Everyone is hoarding, Dad, everyone said that within a month, this stock will definitely break twenty taels of silver. ”

"There are so many!" Liu Hongxun was taken aback.

If it can really rise to this number, wouldn't the Liu family increase its profit by one million taels in vain?

Even though he is scheming and calm, at this time, his legs involuntarily softened and trembled.
