Chapter 1381 It's All Pits

And the reason why Li Ke brought it up in the court, instead of discussing it with Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji in private, was naturally to take advantage of Wei Zheng's character.

With Wei Zheng's character, Wei Zheng would inevitably oppose the method he proposed before, and then take the opportunity to put forward the second method and let them discuss it.

In the process of discussion among the three provinces, isn't this equivalent to the fact that all the gate valve families in the world know? And the method of this state-owned commercial bank, there is no way for these world's gate valve families to ignore or refuse.

The bigger the family, the more they can't ignore it, because they have engraved the family inheritance in their bones for a long time, and this method of dividend-sharing profits for decades or even a hundred years, a method of a stable source of family assets, how can they give up?

Especially this kind of minerals, land and other related to the naked eye can be said to be visible to the naked eye stability, even if there is a loser in the later generations, these things still exist, then the family will not be too defeated, and the family still has a chance to turn over.

That's a huge advantage for them.

What's more, they didn't know that Li Ke knew the approximate minerals and the distribution of large ore veins in the whole of Datang and even the world.

Even if they knew that the reason why the imperial court proposed this plan was because it spent too much money, and the imperial court was using their money to develop the place.

But don't they go hand in hand? As long as the local development is good enough, then their dividends are high enough!

Of course, what they didn't expect was that the profits in this state-owned commercial bank could be deployed.

It's not that they don't pay dividends, but at the very least, if the profit is too much, then there are too many places to spend money, whether it is to let the firm invest in research and development, or improve infrastructure, etc.

Of course, this part of the shares has value in itself, even if they do not pay dividends, and they are willing to sell it after decades, the actual value of the increase in this part of the shares itself cannot make their investment loss.

It is just that the growth rate of this kind of asset is far less rapid than the asset appreciation rate of a certain industry in the process of rapid development of a new country.

"But you can discuss this policy of buying the people as a whole, and then start to include all the surrounding countries into the territory of Datang, and then the three provinces are ready to send relevant officials. For example, there is no winter in Tibet, and the relevant officials can directly reach it by sea. Li Ke said very simply.

"In addition, officials from the Western Turkic side can also arrive by sea, and the Ministry of Construction will hurry up the construction of the railway to the Western Regions, and the construction of the mountains that cannot be crossed can be postponed, and the relevant surveys such as the terrain in the early stage can be carried out, and the plain area in the middle will be built first."

"And after the construction of these railways in the plains, it can also greatly speed up the transfer of materials."

"Yes, Your Majesty! But are we building railways in states like Myanmar? If these places are built along the coast, the terrain is relatively flat, and the transportation of these places to Tianzhu and other places can also speed up the delivery of logistics materials. Yan Lide hesitated and asked.

"Let's suspend these places, temporarily replaced by shipping, we can't produce so many rails for the time being, and more importantly, you have to consider the impact of typhoons in these places, coastal construction is prone to accidents, let's make every effort to ensure the railways in the Western Regions first." Li Ke thought about it and simply refused.

Datang does not have so much energy, the current population is so much, in fact, the railway is mainly connected to some densely populated places, and the other is a strategic railway, such as crossing the Yili River Valley, along the Tianshan Mountains directly into the territory of the Western Turks.

This railway can be regarded as Datang's strategic railway.

Because the Tang Dynasty is different from the China of later generations, Central Asia in later generations is now the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty must have a strategic railway to connect the place, although the sea can reach Persia and other regions, but Persia and other regions are still too far away from the hinterland of Central Asia in later generations.

These places were predominantly nomadic even in later generations, and there were fewer arable areas in these places, and in places such as the West Siberian Plain, which wanted to control the later Russia, they could prepare for the development of more advanced technologies in the future.

Then the area that stretches from the Tang Dynasty to the Caspian Sea, and even the Eurasian demarcation line in later generations must be sufficiently controlled, and the extension of the railway represents the absolute extension of Datang's armed forces.

Unable to cross the Tien Shan, the big deal is to build a gap between the Tien Shan Mountains and the Altai Mountains along the north of the Tien Shan Mountains until they completely bypass the entire Tien Shan Mountains, and then one goes northwest to the Ural Mountains, and the other goes south along the Tien Shan Mountains to the Persian border.

Anyway, now these places are Datang's own territory. The work of crossing the Tianshan Mountains will be done in the future when the technology is advanced.

In this way, the technical difficulty is reduced a lot.

With the current strength of Datang, it is estimated that it will always be able to be built in more than ten years, even if the entire railway needs to be completely rebuilt in later generations, but it is enough for the time being.

"Yes!"

After the court meeting was over, Li Ke patted his ass and returned to his Liangyi Palace, and the rest of the things were handed over to the three provinces to be responsible.

Just like Li Ke guessed, although there were not many decisions made at this court meeting, in fact, the entire three provinces were busy again, although Chang'an City had entered winter, but people's hearts began to become hot.

Li Ke's proposal for state-owned commercial banks to develop the locality and allow the gate valve families to buy shares, and then buy slaves from Tianzhu, Persia, Arabia, Byzantium and other countries quickly aroused the eager discussion of various gate valve families.

They didn't know Li Ke's future plans, but their thoughts now were that Your Majesty was ...... Finally gave them another way to make money!

Do you still need to think about it? I have to keep up.

Now the Tang Dynasty uses iron tools, ships, and various minerals, and fools know how expensive iron ore and other mineral resources are now.

What's more, there may be gold and silver mines in these places! If there is, then this is a big profit, if not, then it is definitely not a loss!

Because they also probably guessed that if His Majesty wants to immigrate to develop, it must be a place with good arable land, water sources and development conditions.

Didn't you see places like the Loess Plateau, where the land is not fertile, and Your Majesty has begun to move people out?

And like a place where the land is fertile, there are too many Datang now, because the population of Datang is too small.
