Li Yanran naturally wouldn't explicitly say that she wanted to control the canal, make money by herself, and make profits for the people, so she could only move her father out.

Under the whole world, the imperial power is the greatest.

In this world now, it is a great honor to be able to do things for the imperial power, even if it is done in secret.

"Pei Xinqi will definitely go all out to help His Majesty accomplish the feat of Cao Yun!"

Pei Xinqi knelt directly on the ground, and when Li Yanran said this, she was not representing herself.

is the first person in the Tang Dynasty, today's Son of Heaven Li Zhi.

He had to worship.

"Okay, since you've said so much, you must have a careful plan in mind, let's hear it!"

"Your Highness, please also ask this little brother to send me back, my Burrow has the information I have collected and visited over the years, and I see that those Highnesses should have a more intuitive view of this canal."

Pei Xinqi also smiled slightly, this princess is really as rumored, omnipotent.

I can even guess this thing, I have to say that it is amazing.

"Well, Li Feng, you go back with Pei Xinqi."

"Whoa!"

Li Feng saluted, immediately took Pei Xinqi out of the British Mansion, and returned to Pei Xinqi's Burrow.

When he entered the house, the scene inside was different from what Li Feng expected.

Unlike Pei Xinqi's sloppy appearance, this so-called Burrow is unusually simple and tidy inside.

The only table was stacked with stacks of manuscript paper, including docks, rivers, and boats.

"Take all of this away."

found a box, and Pei Xinqi put the manuscript paper into it very preciously.

"Your Highness, Pei Xinqi is back!"

Opening the box, Pei Xinqi's eyes were full of excitement.

He had already seen the prospect of the canal, so he had plunged into it, and now that the opportunity had come, he naturally wanted to share his achievements with others.

"You've done so much? Have a heart! ”

Looking at the dense draft, Li Yanran also nodded.

I've really found a treasure.

"Your Highness, there are some wharves in these canals that can meet the needs of the imperial court, but they are far from enough to give full play to the true potential of the canals.

The first thing we have to do is to set up piers along the line, such as the confluence of several rivers.

There are enough wharves for the tentacles of the canal to extend in all directions, so that millions of people can truly enjoy the benefits. ”

Pei Xinqi took out his own research on the canal, and these wharves were the result of his careful consideration and field visits.

As long as you can get the docks in these places in advance, and wait until the transportation starts to exert force, these places will become the real key places.

A steady stream of goods would pass through these terminals to board ships and take them along the canals to where they should go.

"Well, how much do these docks cost?"

Li Yanran is now poor and only has money left, and all she can do now is pay for it.

"Each wharf together with land acquisition, the construction of at least three or four thousand, I calculated that the wharf needs to be built about forty, that is to say, about 150,000."

Pei Xinqi calculated that the construction of these wharves alone would cost at least 100,000 yuan.

This is still his optimistic estimate, in case of any changes, there may be more.

"Looking at the 150,000 yuan now, it may be a lot, but the profits it can bring far exceed these."

"I'll give you 200,000 yuan!"

“？？？”

Pei Xinqi originally wanted to help Li Yanran analyze the future prospects of these docks, but he didn't expect Li Yanran not only to agree, but also to add an additional investment of 50,000 yuan.

This. This special meow was a little more than he expected.

Could it be that this Tang princess really has so much money to such an outrageous level?

It's simply inhumanity in the trenches, inhumanity in the trenches!

"The problem with the dock is solved, what's next? Vessels? ”

Li Yanran smiled, it's just 200,000 yuan, if you can pocket these forty docks, no one will be able to fight against you in the future.

Now it seems that the places chosen by Pei Xinqi are all above the key nodes, and if you change places, the effect will be far worse.

"Well, boats are very important, and the boats that travel on inland rivers now vary in size, but the biggest ones are just like that.

We need to learn from the experience of seagoing vessels and develop ships with larger loads.

Only in this way can the cost of transportation be minimized, and more merchants will be attracted to transfer their goods through transportation. ”

Pei Xinqi reined in his mind and said his idea of the ship.

Inland river vessels are different from sea vessels, and due to the different drafts, inland river vessels will be much smaller than sea vessels in terms of size and carrying capacity.

Therefore, he consulted with a shipwright, wanting to combine the structural advantages of seagoing ships to build larger and stronger cargo ships.

It's just that these are just conjectures now, and if you really want to create them, you still need to practice.

Practice requires not only ideas, but also boatsmiths, and more importantly, money.

He had no money, so everything had to stay in the first stage.

"Well, rest assured, I will contact the shipyard in Yangzhou to build the largest and strongest cargo ship."

Li Yanran nodded, shipbuilding is a money-burning thing.

But these are the things that have to be done, the bigger the ship, the more capacity you have, the greater your advantage.

"I suggest that Your Highness buy a shipyard if he is able, so that once our experiments with the ships are completed, there will be no fear of being plagiarized."

Since Li Yanran has money, Pei Xinqi also has a way to spend money.

At the moment, although buying a shipyard may be more expensive than buying a ship directly, it is more cost-effective than buying someone else in the long run.

"Well, I see, what else? Man, what are you going to do? ”

Li Yanran smiled, this Pei Xinqi is really a capable person.

Hit the nail on the head, and you can always see the most fundamental place when you look at the problem.

"I have a list here that I have gathered over the years, and there are talented people on the canals.

For example, Zhang Minggu on the Luohe River used to be the god of the Luohe River, but since his son died, the whole person has been decadent, and the fourth child of the week is a talent.

As long as you can recruit all these people under your command, then they will definitely give you a clear game about the things on the canal. ”

Pei Xinqi has really worked hard, and he has a rough idea in his heart about these capable people on the canal.

If Li Yanran can really take down these people, the matter on the water is really nothing.

Looking at the list handed over by Pei Xinqi, Li Yanran also smiled, this special meow has also compiled a hero spectrum, and there is even a hero introduction.

That's enough.

"I will arrange for these people to negotiate, as for the outcome, I can only leave it to fate."

"Your Highness, the most important thing in this is this Zhang Minggu, the Luo River can be described as the pearl of the canal now.

Any tributary has to converge here, and Zhang Minggu, as the previous Luohe River God, is famous in this canal, as long as he raises his arms, he will inevitably gather followers.

It's just that the Three Rivers Gang is hateful, not only did it break Zhang Minggu's legs, but it also occupied a place like Luohe to do a bad deal! ”

Hearing the words resignation, Pei Xinqi also sighed.

The most regrettable thing for him is that Luohe always has Zhang Minggu, if it weren't for the appearance of the Three Rivers Gang, the scene of Luohe would definitely be ten times stronger than now, a hundred times.

"Zhang Minggu, right! Li Feng! ”

Seeing that Zhang Pei Xinqi valued Zhang Minggu so much, Li Yanran also gave Li Feng a look.

Li Feng nodded and retreated silently.

"Your Highness, don't be impulsive, this Zhang Minggu is notoriously bad-tempered, even in the face of the Three Rivers Gang, he will not give in a step.

If it weren't for this temper, his leg would not have been broken, and his son and ship would not have been burned. ”

Seeing Li Feng leaving, Pei Xinqi also frowned.

He knew very well how he came here, and it would be difficult for Li Yanran to treat Zhang Ming like this.

"Huh!"

Li Yanran didn't say anything, Zhang Minggu was a stubborn old man, she naturally knew it.

But if you are a human being, you have a weakness, and as long as you catch it, this person will be easy to deal with.

"Pei Xinqi! You little sloppy! ”

Just when Pei Xinqi was depressed, Zhang Minggu's voice sounded from behind.

"Zhang Minggu, why are you an old immortal here?"

Hearing this voice, Pei Xinqi turned around directly and looked at Zhang Minggu with an incredulous expression.

Why is this old guy here, looking so much better than before?

Could it be said?

Special meow!

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you really brought this little sloppy here!"

Zhang Minggu was not stupid, and hurriedly greeted Li Yanran.

But as soon as I said it, this guy was brought, and there is no one else with this action.

"What do you mean, old immortal?"

Hearing Zhang Minggu's words, Pei Xinqi was now transparent.

The reason why Li Yanran found herself was completely Zhang Minggu, an old immortal pot.

Special meow, don't give Lao Tzu a chance, otherwise you have to tear your mouth apart.

"What do you mean? Your kid is going to soar, don't thank you Lao Tzu! ”

Zhang Minggu glared at Pei Xinqi, you said all day long that you didn't meet your talents, and now Lao Tzu has given you a chance, what kind of eyes do you have in your special way.

"Old immortal, I thank you for a big hammer!"

Pei Xinqi's eyes flew, to be honest, if it wasn't for Li Yanran's face now, he would have to let this old stick know how red the maple leaves were in February.

"Little sloppy, you have no conscience."

Pei Xinqi didn't dare to move, it didn't mean that Zhang Minggu didn't dare, he raised his hand and slapped it on the other party's head.

"You"

"What's the matter, in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, do you dare to make a mistake?"

Zhang Minggu smiled, if you want to be an official, if you want to climb a high branch, you have a lot of scruples.

He is different, he has no desires and no desires, and if he loses face, he will lose face, it doesn't matter.

"Me"

Pei Xinqi was also depressed, he really couldn't lose his demeanor in front of Li Yanran.

"Okay, Zhang Minggu, you recommended Pei Xinqi, and he has already accepted it.

Now that Zhang Minggu has also recommended you, what do you say? ”

Li Yanran smiled and looked at Zhang Minggu on the side.

As Pei Xinqi said, this guy is a flag, and it can play a big role if used well.

"Pei Xinqi, you are really ungrateful, how old am I old old man, you still don't let go of Lao Tzu!"
