Zhu Qizhen is a little inexplicable, didn't you just sell all the stocks?

Now that you have rolled up the money and don't leave, what are you waiting for?

Zhu Dianpei saw that people didn't answer, so he coughed quietly, and his mood began to get nervous.

"The minister has an immature idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not......"

Zhu Qizhen nodded: "Let's hear it." ”

Zhu Dianpei plucked up his courage and suddenly said: "After the minister saw the railway and the train, he was shocked, and he couldn't help but have a thought, I don't know what the minister is waiting for...... Is it possible to build a railway privately? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Qizhen suddenly understood.

This product suddenly sold the stock in his hand, it turned out to have a greater appetite!

However, then again, there is a wise saying, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

For the imperial court, the railway is equivalent to the main artery in a person's body, and its status is very important, but only relying on the railway bureau of the imperial court, if you want to connect the whole territory, it is still far away.

The current territory of the Ming Dynasty is far better than before, north to the difficult river, west to Hami, not to mention the south, you will keep going south, when the poofed into the sea, it will be the end.

Even if the railway bureau is exhausted, it can't be repaired!

If private capital is involved, it will be different.

What's more, the railway is not only beneficial to the country and the people, but also a profitable business, which is also a good thing for businessmen.

So, Zhu Qizhen became interested and asked, "Uncle Huang also wants to build a railway?" ”

Zhu Dianpei hurriedly said: "Of course, with the power of the minister, of course, it can't, but if the minister takes out part of the principal, and then raises shares, buys steam locomotives from the Railway Bureau, recruits craftsmen, and builds them, there are not a few like-minded people like the minister." Even if the ability of the subordinates is limited, if they contract a certain section of the railway, they may not be able to afford to build it. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded secretly, the current railways are implemented in sections, and each section is constructed separately, if Ning Wang really registers a railway company by himself and undertakes a section or two sections, it is also feasible.

The key is that in this way, the new railway company can absorb funds from the people, which is equivalent to using the money of the merchants to build railways for the imperial court.

Yes, there is a head!

Zhu Qizhen's face suddenly turned red and asked, "Don't you think that the Qing family is profitable to build a railway?" ”

Zhu Dianpei hurriedly said: "The minister has calculated at home, with the current transportation capacity, coupled with the huge cost of investment, if it is an ordinary route, it can maintain a balance every year, it is good, the minister is the king of the domain, and it is beneficial to the country and the people, even if he hollows out the minister's net worth, he has no complaints, but other businessmen do not necessarily think so." ”

Therefore, such a huge investment, of course, cannot be seen now, but what the minister sees is ten or twenty years from now. Previously, the minister did not have such a consciousness, but slowly, the minister realized that the railway is a century-old plan, and now it is repaired, although it cannot be immediately effective, but the benefits brought by the railway are far from being as simple as it seems, and the land along the way will appreciate? Ten years from now, how will the steam locomotive be transformed? In short, this is a long-term business, and those businessmen have seen Bichen thoroughly, and they will definitely understand! ”

The businessmen are all human spirits, especially after the New Deal, those who are still active in the market are the human essences of the human spirits.

If those whose brains are not active, or whose thinking is rigid, and cannot keep up with the times, they will naturally be eliminated.

They can certainly see the huge benefits that the railroad brings, and if they are involved, there will be many supporters.

After all, what some businessmen have invested in is the future, and the emergence of the train has given them a huge shock, so what changes will occur after today?

The imperial court was bound to vigorously improve the steam train, and the future of the railroad is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cash cow.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then said briskly: "This matter, I am approved, and the Qing family can register the railway company by themselves, but where to repair it needs to be decided by the imperial court." ”

Zhu Dianpei was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty...... That ......"

He hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What did the emperor say just now...... Firm? ”

"The company is ......"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said: "It's just a kind of business group, for example, if Uncle Huang wants to set up his own railway company, the imperial court will have to prepare for it, and there must be clear regulations on how much the company's start-up capital is and what the business scope is, otherwise, it will not be able to enter the stock exchange." ”

"Minister...... I see! ”

Zhu Dianpei also seemed to understand at this time, so he agreed first.

"The minister still has a question, the railway should not be finished in Nanjing, right?"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "Of course not, repairing to Nanjing is just the beginning, one day, I want to let the railway run through the entire Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Chen dares to ask again, has the next route planning been completed?"

"There is a plan, but for the time being, there is only a very simple sketch, I wonder which section of the route Uncle Huang is interested in?"

Zhu Dianpei looked overjoyed and said, "The minister wants to know, is there a route planned to Chengdu Mansion?" ”

"Chengdu ...... I'll take a look at ......"

Zhu Qizhen took the draft, glanced at it, and then said: "First from Nanjing to Yichang, it belongs to the second phase. Then it is from Yichang to Chengdu, which belongs to the third phase. If the construction of this line starts, it is estimated that it will be ten years away. ”

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky.

The Chengdu Plain is surrounded by mountains, and it is very difficult to build a railway, so it is also placed in the back in the planning.

Moreover, it stands to reason that the king of Shu should also care about it, you are a king of Ning, what are you going to do when you inquire about the route of Chengdu Mansion?

Zhu Dianpei seemed to be very interested, and said: "The minister, the railway company, does not ask for anything else, but only hopes that the emperor will advance the line from Yichang to Chengdu, and the minister is willing to do everything to build the railway to Chengdu Mansion." ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

At this time, Zhu Qizhen suddenly reacted.

Absolutely!

King Ning is about to take possession of Wusi, if the railway is built to Chengdu Mansion, then, whether it is soldiers and horses, weapons and equipment or material supplies, can be continuously transported by train.

In the past, tens of thousands of troops would have taken at least half a year to prepare.

Okay now, I gave the order today, I got in the car tomorrow, and I will be there in three or five days.

Even if there is something missing on the front line, it can be replenished in the shortest possible time.

No wonder King Ning first asked to postpone the vassal, and when the railway was completed, if he went again, it would be almost no different from shopping.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but secretly admire his uncle.

First of all, seize the opportunity, make a decisive move, and make a lot of money.

Then he sold at a high price, and then went on to realize his ambition and personally participated in the construction of the railway.

And all of this, all for the ultimate goal, is to be hidden!
