Chapter 25: Emperor Qian's Private Money

Liu Lin threw out a shocking thunder again.

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver! It's worth the taxes of three first-class mansions! That's a part of the country's finances! ”

"With this money, the burden on our household can be lightened a lot."

Zheng Kun sighed.

"In this way, you Lingnan will account for eighty percent of this business! How do you want my Great Xia Dynasty to behave in itself? ”

Li Yan took a step forward and asked in a deep voice.

"That's right, our twenty percent share is not much, at least half!"

A civil and military official spoke.

As soon as they heard that there was such a large amount of oil and water on this track, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were eager to try it.

"Well, guys, the equity of this railway line must be bought in gold, and according to our estimates, even if the government uses two years of railway line mining, land as shares, and private labor to build this railway line, it will be 20% at most.

Our Elixir Pavilion only accounts for sixty percent of them, and the other two percent will be purchased at a price of fifty million taels, and one share is ten taels of silver. ”

Ladies and gentlemen, I have invested heavily in research in this area in Lingnan Prefecture, and I am not a vegetarian in Lingnan Prefecture.

Counting our technology, we only have 60%, and it is good to have two achievements.

Of course, if you think that the official family still has spare power, you can also buy more, ten taels per share, and my Lingnan Mansion accounts for six points.

We are willing to sell if there is one. ”

Liu Lin said lightly.

As soon as Liu Lin said this, everyone was speechless, because they knew that the government couldn't come up with so much silver.

They already have detailed plans for the new summer tax, and the states are complaining that they are poor.

These funds have just arrived, and they have not been fully digested, and he simply does not have extra funds to buy shares of this railway.

You must know that if this track wants to make money, it will take two years at the earliest, and during this time, the court can't wait that long.

"Why are these ores, fields, and labor only worth 20%, I think it should be 30%!"

Li Yan opened his mouth and said.

"That is, how can these iron mines, land, and slaves be worth so much silver, it's not what your Lingnan prince said."

One minister agreed.

"The amount of iron consumed by the entire railway line has been estimated in Lingnan Prefecture.

Based on our current ore production, it is estimated that in two years, the ore production on this railway line will be produced.

Then there is the data calculated by each state based on factors such as land price and manpower.

If you have any comments, you can look at the numbers at the back of the shareholder agreement. “

"Okay, then it's decided!" Liu Lin said.

In fact, Liu Xi has spent a night rewriting this agreement, and the consumption of this track is also written by Liu Xi himself.

After all, these numbers are not something that the ministers of the DPRK and China can calculate, and Ren 8,000 can also be calculated at will.

And what made him like this was a person in the lobby.

Everyone read the agreement repeatedly, and later, they were not sure whether what Liu Lin said was true.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you are really unwilling to invest in the Jingling Railway, then I can only ask the states and vassal states along the way for instructions to see if you are willing to invest.

It's a big deal, I can also get it if I eat frugally in Lingnan Province. ”

Liu Lin's tone was playful.

"Well, as Liu Aiqing said, I will give you 20% of the shares.

Mine for land, mine for land. ”

At this time, Emperor Qiandi suddenly said.

Seeing that Liu Lin had other means of raising funds, and had obtained the approval of Emperor Qian, everyone else also echoed it, lest the matter become bigger.

The purpose of bargaining is to make more money, not to lose money and make money.

Sitting upright, sitting upright, sitting upright.

"Hehe, one point, one point, one point, two and a half million taels, it's all mine!

At that time, if you renovate the royal garden, you should be able to make your harem more beautiful.

It's been a long time since the troops stationed in the north have been paid, and it's time to win hearts and minds. ”

Emperor Qian secretly calculated how to use the silver.

On the same day, Pan Feng introduced Liu Lin to Emperor Qian.

Liu Lin first reported the matter of the Jingling Railway to Emperor Qian.

At first, Emperor Qian's income and investment in this railway track was as shocked as the hundreds of people in the court today.

However, Liu Lin proposed to give Emperor Qiandi 30% of the iron mines, land and labor, which made his eyes shine, as if he had captured his flaws.

"Liu Aiqing, I think this little thing is not even a three-point equity, far less than your investment in science and technology in Lingnan Fucheng, what do you think?"

Emperor Qian glanced at Liu Xi.

"What? What? The price set by my Lingnan Prefecture will never go wrong. ”

Liu Xi asked suspiciously, not understanding what Emperor Bai Qian's words were about.

"I think this track still consumes a little less iron, it should be increased by one point, well, just one point."

He was talking about the rail consumption, but his hand, seemingly deliberately, pointed at himself.

Liu Lin was so smart that he immediately guessed the reason.

Emperor Qiandi wanted to give up one of the three points to a part.

"Yes, if I made a mistake, or if you are far-sighted, I will revise it."

Liu Lin hurriedly saluted, made a 'one' gesture, and then looked at him with the same gaze as Emperor Qian.

Both of them understood what Gu Xijiu meant, and for two and a half million taels of silver, they easily bought this matter.

Cut!

As a hegemon, it looks majestic on the surface, it seems to be a hegemon, but in fact it is a hegemon.

But he couldn't use the gold as he pleased.

The emperor also has his own inner treasury, which is used to pay for his own private use.

Necuri, on the other hand, is a mouse, a mouse.

Over the years, he has been worried about his own interests, and naturally he will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So Liu Lin revised the agreement that night and handed over his 10% shares to the lord of Lingnan Mansion.

The shares of the Lingnan Mansion Lords have changed from 50 percent to 60 percent.

Emperor Qian was not worried, if Li Su did not give him silver, then he would go to Lingnan and fight hard with Li Su.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Lin is not afraid of today's peace talks.

Because, he knows that there is a traitor on his side, and that traitor is that traitor.

If this is known by hundreds of people in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that they will be surprised:

"There are moles among us."

Finally, Liu Xi signed a share deed with Gongzhong.

According to the agreement, the empire handed over the mining rights of the seven mines to them, and they will transfer the mining rights of the seven mines to Lingnan within two years, and take the seven mines as their own shares, including the land used to build the mine and the construction personnel, but they will not interfere in the operation of the mine, and the total shares of the seven mines were originally 500,000 taels of silver.

As for the development of steel and the construction of railways, it is all done by the people of Lingnan Province.

Both were satisfied with the agreement.

In Lingnan, Li Su had already received news from Pan Feng that a new county commander would be sent to Lingnan.

When the people in the Lingnan palace learned about this, they were all furious.

"Lord Wang, this is the government's vigilance against us!"

"It's like, could it be that there is anyone else in this who is talking nonsense?"

"Hmph, Chen Daomin and Zhang Daomin are a fart, Qi Yong is also named by the prince himself, Lao Cao, if you speak, this seat will be given to others."

Qi Yong was furious.

Cao Youde didn't speak, but everyone could feel that his mood was a little low.

In the past three years, Cao Youde has been diligently taking care of Lingnan, he is not a real county order, nor is he a real county order, but whether it is the officials of Lingnan or the local people, they respect him very much.

Cao Youde himself is also very satisfied with his current life, although he has not officially become the Taishou of Sipin, but he doesn't care about this title, he just wants to follow King An and make his own contribution to Lingnan.

Cao Youde has seen the great changes that have taken place in Lingnan over the years, just like he has seen himself.

One by one, they brought him up.

Lingnan Mansion City was built by the hard work of him and others, and now he wants a newly appointed county magistrate to regain control of Lingnan Mansion City, how can he stand it.

"The emperor's will, this king can't disobey, even if this king can't be in charge of state affairs, this king can do something for the prince, as long as the prince doesn't mind."

Cao Youde clasped his fists and saluted, and his heart was full of emotion.

"Cao Gongzi rest assured, this Lingnan County is my feudal official after all, even if the county commander comes, he can't help me.

Here is the country that I have laid down with you, and how many hardships have I gone through to get to where I am today.

At that time, the new county commander will be bold, and he won't need us to do it, and those people in Lingnan will not give up.

Don't forget, the people of this Lingnan Mansion are all well-known and strong. ”

Li Su patted Cao Youde's arm and comforted him.

"That's right, wait until my brothers and I kill him!"

Qi Yong fanned the flames on the side.

"Get out of here, get out of here, let people hear me, and I'm going to mutiny!"

Li Su slapped Qi Yong with a whip leg, Qi Yong pretended to be in pain, and flashed sideways.

For a while, the atmosphere at the scene was a lot more relaxed, and Cao Youde was also a little emotional, whether it was King An or those people on the ridge, they were all on his side.

The newly built city in Lingnan, with three miles of roads on each side, has now been completed.

The surface of the whitewashed concrete is smooth and smooth, and from a distance, it is very different from the buildings of Daqian.

It is the capital of the state and a huge city.

Chen Daomin was napping on his knees at the moment, and it was his chief manager Meng Yi who was driving the car.

This time, his arrival was more than two months ahead of schedule.

According to the rules of the Daqian Dynasty, within three months, all the officials who were sent out had to arrive at their destination within three months.

Then, more than two months later, Chen Daomin can leave for Lingnan to take up his post.

However, he was specially called by the prince and asked him to leave immediately, and he didn't even have time to bring his family.

It's just that when he settles down, he will ask someone to bring his family over.

"Meng Yi, when will you be able to go to Lingnan Mansion City?" Qin Yu asked.

Chen Daomin still closed his eyes and said lightly.

"My lord, it's in front, and about three miles ahead, you can see the city wall of Fucheng, this city wall is so magnificent."

Meng Yi sighed with emotion, this kind of city, it was the first time he had seen it, gray, as if it was born naturally.

"Among them, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed, and how many corpses will be consumed."

Chen Daomin lifted the curtain of the car, looked inside, and immediately said with a disdainful face.

"That Lingnan Prefecture, a small county order, has been managing for three years, which is really ridiculous, and only those poor and remote places can have such a ridiculous thing happen.

I heard that the magistrate of the county was admitted to Xiucai at the same time as me, named Cao Youde, such an unknown person, it is already a great achievement to be sent to this Lingnan to be the magistrate. ”

Chen Daomin sat in the carriage and whispered, and finally arrived at his destination after a long journey.

By this point, he had become much more talkative.

"In this world, there are few people who can compare to you, and there are few people who can compare to you."

Meng Yi said with a flattering face.

"After seeing that Cao Youde, I kindly persuaded him, and then gave him some benefits, so that we could take him in.

I'm new to these people, and even if they don't have any skills, I can take advantage of them. ”

Chen Daomin stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"The head of the family sees that Cao Youde can get the guidance of the head of the family, but the head of the family is fortunate to have three lives, and he is willing to follow the head of the family."

Meng Yi added.

"Okay, they will definitely be surrounded by Lingnan officials, waiting for me outside the city gate, I will wait here, you just say that I have come all the way, and I have suffered some wind and snow, so I will not get out of the car, you will call Cao Youde over."

Chen Daomin commanded.

"What do you mean?"

Meng Yi looked puzzled.

"This means of controlling people is actually to convince people with virtue.

I'm new here, and even if it's their superiors, I'll be bullied by them.

I want them to know that I'm not a cat or a dog, and what I want to do is let them know that I'm not a cat or a dog. ”

Chen Daomin looked meaningful, as if he was giving Meng Yi a wake-up call.

"Alas, I can't imagine that my master, who has been teaching us the principles of human life for thousands of years, is now to the point, to the point, to the point.

It is said that a big fish can't eat and walk around, but that's because they don't have your ability, I appreciate you! ”

Meng Yi hurriedly patted his ass, looking like he suddenly realized.

"You still have a lot to learn."

Chen Daomin looked very enjoyable and said casually.

"How long will it take to get to Fucheng? Why not come yet? “

Chen Daomin spoke again.

"Master, here we are."

"Oh, then, the officials of Lingnan County, waiting for me at the gate of the city, I wonder if they will be waiting for me in the sun, or if they will wait for me in the shade of the trees?"

Chen Daomin asked again.

The big officials of Lingnan Prefecture, if they wait for themselves under the sun, they have more respect for themselves, and if they wait for themselves in the shadows, they have no respect for themselves, and they will definitely be troubled by themselves when the time comes.

"Hey, my lord, there doesn't seem to be a guard minister at the gate of this city."

Meng Yi said with some embarrassment.

"Ahh

Chen Daomin hurriedly pulled the curtain, only to see that there was no one inside, not even a Lingnan person.

Even at the gate there were no people, but there were still many people and chariots and horses going in and out of the gate.

"Didn't they get the news that I was going to Beijing today?"

Chen Daomin said angrily.

"Master, I already delivered a letter on the way here three days ago, I guess the people from Lingnan Mansion haven't arrived yet, why don't we wait?"

Meng Yi asked with some hesitation.

“...”

"It's not time yet, so we have to wait."

Chen Daomin also hesitated.

"This Lingnan Prefecture is really a poor and remote country, there are no rules at all, and I didn't let people inquire about the news earlier, and when I get here, I will naturally have to make a good living."

Chen Daomin said angrily.

The weather is very hot in summer, and there are no trees or shade within five kilometers of the Lingnan Prefecture.

You can't just chill out in the city, can you?

If the officials find out that they are already waiting here, it will be a shame.

In desperation, the two men could only withdraw for a mile and hide behind a carriage.

More than two hours passed, the sun was setting, and nothing happened.

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Daomin's forehead, and he was wearing a four-grade long shirt, which had already been soaked through sweat.

Finished.

"What about people?"

Chen Daomin said angrily.

"The old slave has been watching for a long time, but until now, not a single minister has appeared."

Meng Yi was also sweating profusely at this time, and there were only a few shadows in the carriage, so he naturally couldn't stand beside Chen Daomin, so his face was red and red when he was illuminated by the sun.

"Did you tell them?"

Chen Daomin was annoyed and ashamed, flew up a leg, and kicked Meng Yi fiercely.

"The old slave must have already told him, and the officials in Lingnan Prefecture should have deliberately not come."

Meng Yi said hesitantly.

In fact, Chen Daomin had known this for a long time, but he had been showing off his means in front of Meng Yi.

Now that he was preempted by the people of the Lingnan Mansion Lord, he had already lost face, and he could no longer tell his guesses.

But he didn't want to be exposed by Meng Yi, which made him even more angry.

"How can this be true?

What kind of trouble is this Lingnan County Keeper going to make! I, Cao Youde, am just a small seven-pin county order, what do you think you can do to me?

I don't even take my superiors seriously! This is disrespect to the imperial power, disrespect to the emperor! ”

Chen Daomin got up and pointed at the Lingnan Mansion Lord with an angry face, Meng Yi was shocked by his words, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, it's not too early, the city gate is about to close, otherwise, let's go in."

Meng Yi bowed his head respectfully.

"Huh! When I enter the city, I will teach this group of people who don't know the height of the sky a good lesson! ”

Chen Daomin waved his sleeves and went straight into the carriage.

Seeing this, Meng Yi also hurriedly got into the car and drove the carriage out of the city.
