Chapter 12 Site selection and trial implementation
After saying goodbye to the rest of the sons, Zhao Mu went in the direction of the treasury.
What he didn't expect was that Fusu followed.
"Tenth brother, wait for me!"
As he spoke, the carriage of the eldest prince Fusu stopped beside him.
"The third brother and the fifth brother just now, you don't have to care."
If it weren't for this action, Zhao Mu would have had more of a good impression of the eldest prince Fusu.
But if you are in such a hurry to get into a relationship with him, it means that the other party must know something.
"Don't worry, big brother, the third and fifth brothers are just curious."
After speaking, Zhao Mu spoke first and did not give Fusu a chance.
"Mu will leave first, and talk to the eldest brother another day."
With that, he turned and ordered his men to ride their horses, leaving only a trail of dust in their wake.
Previously, Zhao Mu felt that if Fusu did not believe in Confucianism, he would definitely be able to build his own career as the prince.
But now it seems that this person is no less dangerous than others.
Compared to the ferocious wolf, the poisonous snake hiding in the shadows is more terrifying.
Because you never know how much malice is hidden under his smiling face.
With Zhao Mu's departure, Fusu's eyes showed fierceness.
Judging from the Tenth Brother's recent performances, he really needs such a talent to stay by his side.
But after contact, he realized that he was thinking too much.
This person will never be willing to be subservient to others.
What's more, not even my father.
If you want to subdue it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky!
……
Zhao Mu went to the treasury to see how many resources he could mobilize.
Although Yingzheng promised him the privilege of using the treasury, the exact amount still needs to be explored in person.
The general in charge of guarding the treasury saw that it was the tenth prince who arrived, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
Now that Zhao Mu's actions are spreading in the palace, how dare he slack off.
"The ten sons came, and the ministers were far away."
Zhao Mu smiled, "No need, I think the holy decree has arrived." ”
The general was stunned, he didn't expect that as soon as the front foot of the holy decree arrived, the tenth prince had already come.
In fact, according to Zhao Mu's idea, if there was no obstruction from the rest of the sons and Fusu.
He will be one step ahead of the Divine Decree so that he will have the opportunity to receive news directly from the Divine Decree.
This way, there is no need to startle the snake, but the plan cannot keep up with the change.
"The tenth prince is like a god, and the holy decree has been delivered."
"The resources and some labor in the treasury can be transferred at will."
is a casual dispatch, and Zhao Mu almost believed what he said.
The entire treasury is at his disposal, and tomorrow there will be no treasury to say that.
If you want to build a railway in the era of cold weapons like Daqin, it will cost the people and money, but it is not just fun.
"Okay, then take out 10,000 stone of grain and 10,000 laborers for me first."
"By the way, give me another 10,000 taels of gold as a reward for that time."
Hearing this, the general hesitated.
Although the holy decree did not clearly write down the materials that Zhao Mu could dispatch.
But as far as Zhao Mu is concerned, I am afraid that it is beyond the limit of what he can do.
"No problem, Tenth Prince, I will send it to Huaqing Pavilion as soon as possible." Despite his hesitation, the general responded.
Seeing this, Zhao Mu nodded quietly, turned around and walked into the carriage.
The moment he disappeared from front of people, his face was gloomy.
He knew nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the treasury.
The Northwest Plague did not use too much of the resources in the treasury, at least now the treasury is relatively full.
It is not difficult to see from the general's momentary hesitation...... I'm afraid it's hard to get this money into my own hands.
Holding on to a general, there is no way to solve the fundamental problem.
I'm afraid he has to pay for this railway.
……
Hua Qing Pavilion.
Before Zhao Mu arrived at the door, Chu Ning'er had already come out to greet him.
"Childe, you're finally back."
Facing Chu Ning'er's seductive posture, Zhao Mu just nodded casually and didn't make too many moves.
You know, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this place right now.
You'd better be more restrained.
Chu Ning'er was still a little puzzled, and the son went out.
What the hell happened to me when I came back so indifferent to myself.
When he entered the room, Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ning'er, remember not to be too intimate with me outside."
Chu Ning'er blinked her eyes, even more puzzled.
"Why Childe, did Ning'er do something wrong?"
As she spoke, she said thoughtfully, "Childe said this, but the slave and maid remembered." ”
"Since the son left, there have been many pairs of eyes outside the pavilion, all staring at Huaqing Pavilion."
Without Zhao Mu to explain too much, Chu Ning'er suddenly realized.
Seeing this, Zhao Mu nodded with satisfaction.
With the loyalty of the woman in front of him, Zhao Mu didn't mind that she knew more.
Being able to protect herself and not cause trouble to herself is what Zhao Mule has seen.
But after thinking about it, Chu Ning'er is also a person who knows martial arts, and there is another identity that forgets the identity of Princess Chu.
Zhao Mu couldn't help but pout.
I'm afraid this worry is a little redundant.
……
Zhao Mu already has an answer on Yingzheng's side, and then it's time to show his strength.
He went to the underground base and found the middle-aged man in a white coat.
"The steam engine is ready for mass production, but remember."
"Do the most with the least resources."
In this way, it is not that Zhao Mu is distressed about resources, in the modern economy, the steam engine is indeed not so difficult.
But in Daqin, those cherished resources are used a little less.
It is better to save as much as possible.
After overcoming the technical problems, in Zhao Mu's view, the next task is to post notices on the street to recruit laborers.
The deadline is so tight, all in order to attract sponsorship.
With current support alone, it is not realistic to complete this project, and resources are limited.
Zhao Mu must first find a place to try it out.
Let Ying Zheng see the benefits of building the railway, so that he can truly trust himself.
You can get more help yourself!
Zhao Mu wants to convert the railway into revenue in the shortest possible time.
Site selection is a top priority in this process...... There must be a symbol, and there must be a reward!
After thinking about it, Zhao Mu aimed at Xianyang Palace.
The geographical location here is special, and the famous families who live here also have the ability to spend.
I built a railway in Xianyang Palace, and I took a steam engine to see the whole city, so it's not too much to ask you for ten taels of gold, right?
This return is a drop in the bucket in the construction of the railway, but it adds up to a lot and can solve a lot of troubles in the early stage.
What's more important is that Yingzheng can see a glorious future.
The owner of the money is happy, is he still worried about money?
Thinking of this, Zhao Mu did not hesitate at all and went straight to Xianyang Palace.
Stand on top of the city walls and look down on the palace.
There is a lot of wasteland that can be used here, so you don't have to worry about demolition.
Looking at the city under his feet, Zhao Mu had already planned a route in his heart...... Bypass the downtown area, but enjoy panoramic views.
After the completion of the railway, those rich people will definitely flock to it...... Ladies and Sons, it is bound to be fashionable to sit on the steam engine and drink for fun!
……
Three days later.
The job poster has received a good response.
As soon as I heard that I was going to the palace to do something.
Many people would rather not have food than wages, but also open their eyes.
If they miss this time, they may never have the opportunity to enter the palace again in their lives.
Seeing this kind of achievement, Zhao Mu was naturally overjoyed.
With the blessing of labor and the people, he took out some silver taels out of his own pocket.
In less than half a year, the railway in Xianyang Palace will be able to start the trial.
Without waiting for Zhao Mu to return to Huaqing Pavilion, the general came with ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand stones of grain.
A lot of points, not a bad point.
10,000 laborers are also on standby, just waiting for Zhao Mu to dispatch.
These were all things that the general dared to transfer from the treasury after asking for instructions.
As soon as Ying Zheng made a promise in the inner hall, he withheld Zhao Mu with his backhand, which was a loss of credibility for the monarch.
If it were not for His Majesty's instructions, the treasury would be opened, and so much grain and silver would be taken out in a short time.
I'm afraid that there won't be a second place in the entire Great Qin that can do it.
