"The black soil of Goguryeo is extremely fertile, and you can grab a handful of oil and water." Li Yunze introduced seriously

"In such a rich place, as long as it is properly arranged, it is not difficult to feed tens of millions of people, how can it be used as a feudal country." Li Er, who frowned slightly, thought about it

"But it's cold in the North..."

"We have cotton clothes and quilts." Li Yunze immediately expressed his position

"There are still a lot of coal and iron mines in Goguryeo, and the coal is dug to make honeycomb coal stoves, and the house is very warm in winter." Biqμgètν.net is limited by industrial capacity, and Li Er does not attach too much importance to other minerals other than gold and silver, because the demand is not large.

Of course, if Datang has the industrial strength of later generations of China, it is really an island where birds don't live, and they have to go to investigate to see if there are any minerals.

However, the fertile land was enough to impress Li Er. In the age of agriculture, nothing could be more important than fertile soil.

"I originally wanted Ke'er to go to Goguryeo..."Li Er muttered a few words, looking a little regretful.

Although he decided to become a virtuous, there is still a bottom line in his heart, that is, the heir must be from the eldest grandson queen's son-in-law.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, is very good in terms of ability and character, but it is a pity that his mother is the daughter of Yang Guang.

The identity of the princess of the previous dynasty almost doomed Li Ke to have no chance of inheriting the unification. But it is precisely because of this that Li Er feels guilty and wants to compensate.

"There is a lot of fertile soil in this world." Li Yunze's fingers drew the map, extending in the northwest direction

"There is a piece of black soil similar to Goguryeo, which is very fertile and can be used as a granary."

"How far?"

"Starting from the Western Regions Broken Leaves, it is 5,000 miles away."

"Five thousand miles?!" Li Er was directly stunned. It takes 5,000 miles to start from Chang'an City to Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions, and it takes 5,000 miles to go to the black soil granary, isn't that thousands of miles away!

As soon as he thought of his beloved Li Ke going thousands of miles away, Li Er immediately began to frown again. If this is really gone, it will be almost the rest of your life and you will never see each other again.

Looking at Li Er, who was full of sadness, Li Yunze couldn't help laughing

"Your Majesty has not forgotten the railroad."

"Huh?" Li Er was slightly stunned, and then suddenly suddenly. Walking or riding caravans or something, the long road is naturally out of reach, and the road is very dangerous.

But with the railway, not much else, an hour can run at least a hundred miles, and day and night.

At the end of a day, it is thousands of miles, and thousands of miles away is only a matter of ten days. If it is in Datang, ten days may not be enough to go to Luoyang City.

Thinking of this, Li Er suddenly relaxed

"It's okay to say that, if you take the train, you can arrive in more than half a month at most, which is not a problem."

"It's a thing." Li Yunze said seriously

"The most important thing is to build a railway that is 10,000 miles long. Now, the one to Lanzhou has not been repaired. Li Er was speechless for a moment.

The two railways that have been repaired add up to 2,000 miles. It took several years to do this, and countless labor, materials, and goods were consumed.

Repair a thousand-mile... From his Li Er to the Chinese military officials, all of them went to Pingkangfang to sell themselves and couldn't make money.

Thinking of this, Li Er's heart moved slightly

"Over there in the stock market..."

"It's not time yet." Li Yunze knew that Li Er was going to be in a hurry again

"It's not time to wield the scythe yet, didn't the Hundred Horsemen say that those local tyrants still have a lot of savings and haven't made a move." Li Er asked unwillingly

"There's no other way?"

"Yes." Li Yunze nodded and said

"The Changwei Railway can do it."

"Okay." Li Er high-fived

"Get more out, first find a way to repair the road to Lanzhou as soon as possible, and then continue to repair to the west."

"I won't show up for this." Li Yunze has already paved the road, but he is too lazy to be a villain

"Du Gong came forward to operate, this is his job."

"Good." Li Er hid in the side hall of Daming Palace, fantasizing about his sons going to all parts of the world in front of the map and the sand table, and was busy opening up the territory on the map.

Li Yunze returned to Lijiazhuang and was busy communicating with Li Lizhen in depth. The matter of the pit gate valve family can naturally only fall on Du Ruhui's head.

Just like Li Yunze said, he is the head of the household department to manage the money bag, and of course he is responsible for the money.

Du Ruhui, who received the notice, threw all the things that offended people in his heart, but he could only summon the representatives of the gate lords and local tyrants in Beijing headed by the five surnames and Qiwang for a meeting.

Just here in the main hall of the household department, a group of representatives of the local tyrants looked at Du Ruhui in surprise, and they didn't know what to call themselves and others to discuss.

Originally, Du Ruhui also invited Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to support the scene, or to carry the infamy together. After all, the goods for the construction of the railway are provided by the Ministry of Households, but it is the Ministry of Industry that supervises the work, which can be regarded as the relevant departments.

But Duan Lun was a shrewd person, and directly said that when he was at home, he was bored playing with stone lions, and he couldn't come if he injured his foot.

This excuse is used, and Du Ruhui wants to say, 'Why don't you stone you to death, old slippery head!' 'There was no way, he had to go on it himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen." After the greetings, Du Ruhui finally opened his mouth to get down to business

"The railway from Chang'an to Shudi has some obstacles." Everyone's faces suddenly changed. They have invested millions of dollars in this railway!

"Dare to ask Du Gong." The patriarch of the Fan Yang Lu clan has the most respected status at this time, and he will come forward to inquire

"What the hell is going on?"

"The Shu Road is difficult to travel, not to mention the difficulty in transporting construction materials, and the people are also clamoring." Du Ruhui covered his forehead and made a look of embarrassment

"And there are often materials that fall off the cliffs, and the losses are not small." Everyone looked at each other, and the patriarch of the Fan Yang Lu clan asked again

"What does Du Gong mean?"

"That means the budget is overrun." Du Ruhui simply spread his hands

"The goods you invested in before are not enough." As soon as these words came out, there was finally an uproar.

Some of the younger ones were angry, so they immediately got up and shouted

"I waited for real money, and when I drew the charge, it was also written clearly, what does it mean that it is not enough? Don't you want me to wait and continue to pay for it? ”

"Exactly." Du Ruhui took out the text that had been negotiated with the investment consortium before, and found a line of small characters in the book that was more than 100 pages thick and full of countless articles.

"Look, everybody." He pointed it out to the people

“... If it is a force majeure, the consequences shall be borne by the investor..."

"I'll know that." The patriarch of the Fan Yang Lu clan also shouted angrily

"But the so-called force majeure, doesn't it mean that it is a military disaster, water and fire, meteorites from the sky, etc.?"

"You still haven't seen it clearly." Du Ruhui's finger pointed to the last line of handwriting

“... All interpretations belong to the trading company... The meaning of this sentence is that it is up to the trading company to decide what is a force majeure. ”

"What is the right to interpret everything?" Everyone simply gathered around and looked at the copywriting carefully, and there was really such a sentence

"What the hell does that mean?"

"In other words, the troubles we encounter now are force majeure." Du Ruhui also had a simple showdown

"Let's put it this way, if you can make more investment, then the railway can continue to be built, if you don't invest, then I don't know when it will be repaired." Speaking of which, I still want money, and everyone can be regarded as understanding.

But if you understand, you will be even more angry, and you will repeatedly accuse Du Ruhui of not counting, how can you regret the agreed things.

I said before that I had a good idea of 3,000 and 3,000 in a mile, but now I have to make additional investment, and the court has no credit at all!

"This matter has nothing to do with the imperial court." Du Ruhui wiped his face and immediately turned cold

"This is the agreement between you and the trading company, and the one who does the work is also the trading company, and the imperial court is just supervising it." Li Yunze has long known that there will be such disputes when cutting leeks, so he cooperated with investors as an outsourcing company as an early onset.

The imperial court jumped up and down in this as if it could control everything, but in fact, it fell on black and white, and everything was built by a trading company.

This is really an eye-opener for everyone, co-authoring such a big project has nothing to do with the imperial court?

In the face of everyone's angry saliva, Du Ruhui, who had a normal complexion, slowly drank tea with a tea bowl, as if everyone was performing ventriloquism.

But as the words became more and more unpleasant, as saliva continued to spray into the tea bowl, even Du Ruhui couldn't help but be angry.

He put the tea bowl heavily on the Hu table and scolded with a cold face

"It's useless to say anything now! Either you will invest more and continue to build the railway. Either stop and give up, and this railway will have nothing to do with you in the future. ”

"Why?! We've invested millions! ”

"That's right! There are so many goods, and they have already made a lot of money by investing in the stock market. ”

"That's it, so many goods are gone, I can't wait~~~" A large group of people chattered and vented their anger, but unfortunately Du Ruhui was unmoved, and it was like that over and over again

"Either invest more, or give it up."

"Du Gong." The head of the Fan Yang Lu clan said hatefully

"I can't wait, return the goods to us. It is better for us to invest in the stock market than to invest in any railroad. ”

"Yes, return the money!"

"Refund the money?" Du Ruhui immediately sneered

"The goods invested by you have been replaced with labor and equipment rails, and they have been paved to Lizhou. Where is the money to be returned? ”

"If you want money, you can hire someone to tear down the repaired railroad tracks. In other words, if you dismantle the railroad tracks, the construction company will not accept it, so you can only melt it and sell it. "Datang's iron production has soared, and an important impact has been the plummeting price of iron.

Not to mention how much labor and transportation capacity is needed to dismantle those rails back, even if they are demolished, if the construction company does not collect them, they can sell scrap iron for a few dollars.

Not to mention that even if those rails are melted, it will require a lot of expenses, at least the fuel cost is a sky-high price.

After a meaningless quarrel, the representatives of the local tyrants who gradually calmed down began to discuss with each other.

In the end, the head of the Fan Yang Lu family came forward to ask

"Du Gong, how much do you have to invest?" Du Ruhui's face showed a smile, and he raised his hand and gestured

"600,000 is enough." This is the method that Li Yunze told him, don't open your mouth at the beginning, start with less.

When the accumulation of small amounts of investment reaches a certain level, so that the Kanto local tyrant family group is reluctant to give up, it will be a good offer.

This kind of business practice is commonplace.
