Lu Heng's words stunned the well-informed Li Shimin.

He was even a little suspicious, did he get older, how could it sound so incomprehensible when he was so clear and simple?

“…… I don't understand what you mean. ”

His Majesty Li Er was stunned and said:

"If it is as you say, what trains and tracks cost so much, then the family is not stupid, they are all among the most shrewd people of the time, how can they do such a thankless task?"

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they really agree, if they really want to invest such manpower and material resources, where will they get so much money!"

It's no secret.

The Maison's cash flow is now stretched, and even if it can maintain its extremely high standard of living, it does not have much money to come up with.

Lu Heng kept saying that he wanted them to be willing to pay out of their pockets and do things for themselves......

Don't think about it, the current five surnames and seven wangs have no money at all!

"You're wrong again, Father!"

Lu Heng bared a mouthful of big white teeth, hehe Zhile:

"It's true that they don't have any money on hand, but they can take the title deed and mortgage it with the bank, can't they?"

"At the beginning, I kept a hand, and the bank could lend them grain, and I could also lend silver taels and copper plates."

"If I'm not mistaken, according to the highest interest, borrow 10,000 taels of silver this year, and they will have to pay back 2,000 taels by this time next year."

"At that time, if the flow of funds is still blocked and the money is not paid, then we don't want the money, and we can directly use the land deeds mortgaged by the family to pay off the debts, and the transaction will be profitable without loss!"

Li Shimin was dumbfounded, his eyes widened.

He had an expression with Cheng Yanjin before.

It's all like watching a ghost, looking at this kid in front of you!

Poisonous means......

Wait a minute!

His Majesty Li Er suddenly reacted, and said with tears in his eyes:

"The family has no money in hand, so you lend them money from the bank and ask for the land in their hands......"

"But when the wine collapsed, those lands should have belonged to the imperial court!"

"Isn't this the same as losing money to build the so-called trains and railroad tracks?"

"It's all made of fucking iron, what a lot of money!!

His eyes are red!

After all kinds of natural and man-made disasters in the early days of Zhenguan, Li Shimin now has a few taels of silver in hand, and they are all spent tightly, for fear of wasting.

Now Lu Heng is going to take out the silver that has been swallowed in his stomach to repair the railway......

It's no different from asking for his life!

- However, His Majesty Li Er did not think about it, from beginning to end, this wine did not have his investment, and he did not know anything about the marketing hype in the early stage, the current price control, and even how to make it. To put it bluntly, how to make Zhenguan wine as a whole, Lu Heng alone knows.

Even the place where the wine is made and the glass bottle is made are separated by 800 miles, and the two sides can't communicate, let alone explore the production method!

Lu Heng scratched his head.

"Father, Wang Ran and Lu Chengqing are willing to agree to such an outrageous request, of course, they also have something to ask for."

"In their opinion, this railway was built specifically to transport Zhenguan wine, and there was no other use."

"But if Zhenguan wine collapses, they naturally won't use this thing. Because perhaps even they themselves will be useless by then, let alone any means of transport. If you ship it out, no one will likely buy it! ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Shimin's throne.

On the wall, there is a huge map.

What is painted is the entire border of Datang, as well as dozens of surrounding countries of different sizes!

Li Shimin didn't pay attention to where his eyes went, and only paced back and forth in circles anxiously.

"According to you, when the wine collapses, won't the railroad be wasted?"

"It's a bit of a waste!"

Lu Heng opened his mouth, and was about to say something when a person suddenly came in from outside the Ganlu Palace.

It was Li Chengqian, who was neatly dressed and formal.

Li Chengqian respectfully bowed to his father, which made Li Shimin, who had just been deflated by Lu Heng, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Chengqian.

"The prince came over at this time, is there anything important to discuss?"

Li Chengqian hurriedly shook his head frantically, for fear that he would anger his father.

After all, Lu Heng can make his father angry half to death every time he enters the palace, and it is better for him not to join in the excitement as a crown prince.

After a moment of silence.

Li Shimin finally asked: "Then what do you want to say when you come to face the saint?" ”

Li Chengqian smiled slightly and turned to Lu Heng next to him.

There was excitement in his eyes!

"Sunrise, there is not much cash in the bank, this is what you ordered before, let me never show my wealth, even in the face of any person, do not forget my own safety first."

"Sure enough, as you expected, there are many children of the family lining up to borrow cash today, and this loan is thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels!"

"Tell me, what are they not crazy? If it is higher than 10,000 taels, it is 20% interest! ”

In addition, there are many ordinary retail investors who have not been able to sell the drinks in their hands, so rumors are rife in Chang'an City, and many people even begin to suspect that the drinks will not be sold in the spring. It wasn't until they saw the notice you sent that they got a little better. ”

His Majesty Li Er, who was next to Lu Hengchong, spread his hands.

"Look, if I don't move, I'm afraid Zhenguan wine won't even survive this winter."

"It's just a matter of time!"

"Father, you just guessed that when the wine industry collapses, the railway will be abolished, which is not a big mistake, but it is only for families who want to use the train to transport and resell alcohol."

"At present, the steel mills are still in the preparation stage, and I don't have high requirements for them, just produce two or three thousand miles of railroad tracks a year. The train needs something called a steam engine, and I'll have to get another student to study it. ”

"Wait until the first railroad is roughly completed......"

"I think it should be able to pass through here."

Speaking of this, Lu Heng took two steps forward and poked his finger on the map on the wall.

In the hall, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's eyes also followed his fingers and slowly moved to the place he pointed on the map.

Li Chengqian was stunned and exclaimed:

"You...... You're planning to run this railway through Tuyuhun?! ”
