"Teacher, if it is built like this, can my father agree?"

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but ask.

"And whatever!"

Guo An did not reply to Zhu Gaochi's words, but continued: "We also need to build a railway station in Jingshi and Songjiang Mansion, as well as Lishui, Liyang, Huzhou, and Jiaxing on the way, and the Jingshi and Songjiang Mansion should be built at least 400 acres, and as for these places that pass through on the way, it only needs 200 acres!" ”

"Still want to buy land?"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened again, "Teacher, buying so much land requires a lot of silver. ”

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, in fact, don't look at the fields that have passed through several prefectures and counties, it looks like there are a lot, but there are not too many gentry and ordinary people involved." ”

"Hmm!"

As for the houses near Zhangjiawan Wharf, although they are not as outrageous as those near the academy, they have also risen a lot.

Zhu Di slowly finished reading the drawings handed over by Zhu Gaochi, and couldn't help but be full of surprise.

Guo An shook his head slowly, "I don't know if Your Highness still remembers the events that appeared when the Zhangjiawan Wharf was built!" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An explained: "It's like building a train station, then bringing a lot of people here, and then building shops, so that this place can prosper. ”

By that time, more than half of the people, goods, and laborers at those docks must have come to the railway station.

Guo An said lightly: "Send people to forcibly occupy those lands from the hands of the people or the states and counties!" ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "Teacher, those people's fields don't occupy much at all!" Moreover, there are a lot of them, so why don't you leave them to the following to handle them one by one! ”

Guo An explained: "Your Highness, when the railway station is built, there will be trains coming in and out every day, and there will be many merchants and passengers, as well as countless goods.

Guo An nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, because they are rich!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

As long as they don't covet those rails, as for those people, they won't be able to achieve any climate! ”

"Teacher, are you done drawing?"

Guo An nodded slightly, "In the final analysis, those gentry are the head snakes of various states and counties, let them know that only when the train can operate normally, their shops can make money."

At this time, Zhu Gaochi, who had been waiting for a long time, was already holding a book and reading half of it.

Then, remembering something, he continued to ask: "Teacher, how can such a complicated situation be set up in this train station?" ”

There are also these shops, which can also be sold at a high price.

"Good!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and said again: "The land occupied by the train track may also need to be purchased with money!" ”

After looking for it, Zhu Gaochi took the drawings and found Guo An.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, "Building and developing the economy? ”

"Teacher, if it is according to what you said, then you don't need to go to Songjiang Mansion, just set up the train terminal in Pinghu!"

Zhu Gaochi took advantage of this time to point to the warehouses in the picture, as well as the rows of shops and houses.

"Teacher, this is a small city!"

Zhu Gaochi thought about it and said: "So, the teacher gave out some benefits to the local gentry officials!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly became numb.

"In this way, the train departed from Jingshi and passed through Lishui, Liyang, Yixing, Changxing, Gui'an, Tongxiang and Pinghu."

Guo An said again: "However, if you build a house, is the extra 200 acres that Your Highness wants?" ”

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

In this way, the construction of the train tracks will be delayed! ”

Then, His Royal Highness sent a message to the Emperor, and after the Emperor agreed, I set out from Beijing with His Highness and made a tour along the train tracks, met with the local officials and gentry, and asked them to cooperate in laying the train tracks. ”

In an instant, Zhu Gaochi's face was solemn.

However, being praised by Guo An like this, Zhu Gaochi was still very happy in his heart.

If you start building trains and rails, you'll need a lot of steel! ”

"I also bothered His Highness to send someone to find the map of the state capitals of Yingtianfu, Changzhou Mansion, Huzhou Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion, and Songjiang Mansion, and I determined the train track route with His Highness.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An said: "And those people's!" ”

"Your Highness, but I still have to tell Your Majesty about this matter, and ask the imperial court to give the Smelting Department some more steel.

"This ......"

Guo An nodded slightly, "So you need to buy those lands from the people or the government after planning the railway route just like the Zhangjiawan Wharf was built in Beiping!" ”

After entering the study, Guo An directly picked up the pen and paper and began to draw.

"Your Highness, this matter is to prevent people who take the train from taking the train without paying for it and stealing the train ......"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "How can they get such a good thing?" ”

Most of the confiscated acres and houses went into their old Zhu family.

According to the teacher, the train station must be more prosperous than those docks, and the houses around the train station will inevitably be very valuable! ”

Zhu Gaochi's face was happy, and he followed Guo An directly and walked to the study.

Guo An continued: "I'm worried, according to Your Majesty's temperament, I will personally enlist. In this way, His Highness will inevitably stay in Jingshi to supervise the country.

Guo An nodded.

"Alas!"

"Teacher, I'll do my best! …… Teacher, my father is already planning to conquer Warat after the autumn, and those steels may take care of the Ordnance Bureau first! ”

"What the teacher said is that after the army sets out, the steel proficiency required by the Ordnance Bureau will begin to decrease!"

Moreover, there are so many shops in the railway station, and the Chamber of Commerce alone can't eat them all, and sooner or later they will flow out! ”

Guo An smiled slightly and continued: "In addition, the establishment of such a guard at the railway station still requires His Majesty's consent.

"Also, Your Highness, since you are going to start building the station, you need to be close to the Jiangjunshan Workshop, at least the transportation should be convenient to facilitate the transportation of some goods!"

Then, I went to the newspaper house and the auction house to go around.

"Hmm!"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned.

"Teacher, why is this place?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, "Teacher, I understand!" ”

Immediately, after talking in detail again, Zhu Gaochi left.

"Please forgive Your Highness, I was so confused that I forgot such a big thing."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, "Teacher, can they still cooperate?" ”

Some of them were sold to local gentry and merchants, so that they would not do some dirty things in private.

"Self!"

"In this case, you can only spend money to buy it!"

Guo An nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness, as the station is built, there will be thousands of people entering and leaving the station every day.

"What should the train station look like?"

"Hmm!"

"I see!"

Guo An slowly explained for nearly an hour, and then Zhu Gaochi left.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi suddenly nodded with a straight face.

"Just like the teacher said!"

Guo An said helplessly.

“……”

However, if it is in Jingshi, or Songjiang Mansion, the terminal station of the train, 200 acres is less! ”

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Teacher, I don't know what else to do?" ”

"But if you want to build train tracks, you have to do that!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Finally, I went to Wenyuan Pavilion.

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi had already walked over, stretched his neck, and looked carefully.

"In this case, then let the craftsmen in the workshop make do with it first!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, "The teacher is far-sighted, and the train will run normally!" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Gaochi once again came with maps of Yingtianfu, Songjiang Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, and Huzhou Prefecture and came to the palace of Shunde County.

"Almost!"

The Arowana is mixed, and the station needs to set up a guard to deter those who are small, and at the same time manage the affairs of the station.

"In this way, it is also a means of making money. Rather than let other merchants or gentry earn this money, it is better to let our own money! ”

Guo An nodded slightly, and didn't argue much, "It just so happens that Pinghu is also in the middle of Hainingwei and Jinshanwei." ”

Zhu Gaochi said directly: "In this way, then double it!" ”

Inevitably, many shops and factories will also be opened to supply those customers and laborers. ”

"Teacher, don't be so polite!"

Guo An was a little surprised: "Huh? What does Your Highness want to use it for? ”

"Please also ask Your Highness to go to the study with me, and I will draw it for Your Highness!"

On top of that, the train tracks are made of steel paving.

"This time, I will wait to connect with those people's acres one by one."

Zhu Gaochi asked again: "Teacher, is there any other way?" ”

Guo An smiled, "Your Highness finally knows how to use construction to develop the economy!" ”

Palace.

"I see!"

“……”

"How much money does it cost to do this?"

"Guo Qing actually wants to build the railway station into a small city? He had such high hopes for the train station? ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed helplessly, "In this way, I also ask the teacher to set the route of the road, and after the autumn harvest, I will go with the teacher to find those local officials and gentry and buy their fields together." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi remembered something, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, "Teacher, then the railway station shouldn't just buy 400 acres, or 200 acres, but also double!" ”

In just a moment, Zhu Gaochi sank his heart into it.

"There is Teacher Lao!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly.

A few days later.

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, in some small counties with small populations, two hundred acres is enough.

Guo An nodded slightly, "His Royal Highness is tired of coming over and taking a look!" ”

Guo An smiled slowly, "Your Highness, since it makes them feel profitable, after the train track is built, they can make money continuously!" ”

"So, that's fine!"

"Dad, as soon as the train station is built, the price of these houses will skyrocket.

"Shop?"

"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely dissuade my father!"

Guo An said casually.

Guo An said in a deep voice: "Those local big families killed the people for the silver that sold the land!" ”

In addition, after the sale of these shops, at least half of the money from the construction of the train tracks can be returned. ”

Guo An said with a straight face: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is my Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you can't take such a big risk!" ”

"Two hundred acres is less?"

After all, from his grandfather to his father, there have been countless corrupt officials and gentry killed in the past few decades.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Wen Lou.

"Hmm!"

Over the years, Guo An's drawing level has risen steadily, and he can be called the first person in the Ming Dynasty.

"Build a house!"

I even had to write some notes to explain that after the drawing, it was already an hour later.

Guo An smiled slightly, "Your Highness, if Your Majesty wants to conquer Warat, but do you want to conquer it yourself?" ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded in agreement.

"Teacher, I still remember."

Guo An smiled, "Your Highness, if you don't win over some local officials and gentry and pave the train tracks, you will encounter a lot of troubles, even if you destroy a few nine clans, it may not be alleviated."

"In this way, during this period of time, His Highness can arrange for someone to find a wide and flat place in Jingshi, buy it, and build a railway station.

In addition, His Royal Highness can also consider sending someone to buy the fields around Jingshi! ”

These rails, for the gentry or the poor, were always money-worthy.

After returning to the palace, he sent someone to look for the map.

"Daddy is wise!"

Therefore, it is necessary to ask His Highness to consult with His Majesty! ”

"Freedom is for ......"

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, "Teacher, how can this be done?" ”

As Guo An stretched his body, Zhu Gaochi also began to come back to his senses.

"Teacher, if you come down like this, you will inevitably need to occupy more people's fields!"

However, the 1,000-acre area is a bit large, and after drawing the general layout, it is necessary to draw the detailed layout of the station.

The more I looked, the more I was shocked.

"The teacher is gracious!"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said.

Therefore, it should be strictly patrolled! ”

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's doubts, Guo An slapped his head violently.

Zhu Gaochi asked with some surprise: "What does the teacher mean?" ”

"Also, Your Highness, during this time, we will also start to build trains and railroad tracks, which will require a large amount of steel, and I will also bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help transfer some of them."

Zhu Gaochi asked, "I don't know what the teacher is referring to?" ”

In Beijing, it is still very easy for Zhu Gaochi to find a vacant land of 1,000 acres.

After comparing on the map for a long time, Zhu Gaochi looked at Guo An.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Your Highness's auspicious words!"

"Exactly!"

Guo An said: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

"I see!"

After a while, Zhu Gaochi slowly raised his head, his eyes were still full of regret!

"What the teacher said is very true!"

Zhu Gaochi said directly, "When I was in Beiping, the houses that the teacher built around the academy were sold for a lot of money.

"Hmm!"

"Teacher, don't worry, after I go back, I will arrange for someone to handle these things!"

"In this way, the price of the railway station and even the surrounding land will increase!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Gaochi continued, "Even, some cement roads should be paved at the railway station!" ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled a little embarrassedly, "I also learned from the teacher." ”

"This ......"

Zhu Gaochi said, "It's like when the teacher was in Beiping, he built Zhangjiawan Wharf and built the academy!" ”

However, when he left, he took the train station drawings with him.

Zhu Di also remembered the situation of Beiping Academy and nodded slowly.
