.,

For Liu Jian, Wang Shouren and Ouyang Zhi are different.

Their identities are juniors and lower officials.

It's okay to be harsh sometimes.

So not long after, Wang Shouren, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Ouyang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, were invited.

Let the two sit down, Liu Jian took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The merchants want to build the railway, which will reduce a lot of burden on the imperial court, as long as there is no law prohibiting it, let the master do this by order." But why... is he so strict on private equity railways? What the old man is worried about is that he scares away the merchants. Hey... Qi Guogong is young after all, and he doesn't know that everything is easy in this world, except The most difficult thing is to make people willing to pay for silver. If you pay for one tael of silver, you need to fight against each other, and if you pay for ten or a hundred taels of silver, you need to work hard. Great revenge."

Liu Jian then said: "But in this list, not only does the land take up more than half of the shares, but also the construction needs to be verified by the Zhen Guofu, and the engineering team used also needs to be issued by Xishan Jianye. The power is all in the hands of the Railway Bureau. Of course... there is nothing wrong with this, but the old man is worried, worried that merchants will be scared away."

He paused, thought for a long time, and then continued: "People haven't paid out the money yet, that's all. What ugly things are there, can't we wait until they have paid out the money?"

Ouyang Zhi: "..."

On the other hand, Wang Shouren said calmly: "Grand Liu, what my mentor did, as a disciple, don't dare to make unreasonable comments. If you think about it, he must have his own thoughts."

Liu Jian was convinced, Ouyang Zhi didn't say a word, Wang Shouren didn't say his father's name in one sentence, and he pushed back without saying a word about his teacher.

Looking at the two senior brothers, Liu Jian sighed, realizing that it was nothing to invite them here.

Liu Jian had a good temper, didn't say anything, but waved his hands and said: "Come on, this is a matter for the teacher to supervise, and the old man will not ask."

…………

Today, Wang Bushi was on duty, so he went straight back to his mansion.

Now Beijing is talking about building the railway.

A large number of people gathered in the capital, coupled with the cheapness of printed materials, the channels of dissemination began to become various, so whenever something was hotly discussed, it was like overwhelming mountains and seas.

Wang Bushi was relieved to be on duty in Hanlin, and he hardly asked about foreign affairs, only to return to the mansion. At this time, Deng Jian came.

Deng Jian is wearing the latest Confucian fir, although he is not a scholar, but he loves this style, coupled with his big gold chain, and his gold-threaded sunglasses, and wearing a hat inlaid with precious jade , appearing extraordinarily spiritual.

"My lord, the announcement of the railway has been published."

"Oh?" Wang Bushi became interested: "Bring it."

Deng Jian hurriedly took the transcripts and handed them over to Wang Bushi, who looked carefully at them.

Wang Bushi is a bit taboo about building railways. He knows very well that the railway is of great importance. Now the court needs money, but once the railway is completed, will it be possible to control this national weapon in the hands of merchants in the future?

Because of this, he appears more cautious than others.

But when he looked down at the announcement and saw the many restrictions on construction, operation, and profit distribution, he was stunned, and then his eyebrows sank, and he murmured: "There is a bottom, there is a bottom, now When you have the bottom line, go...to raise a sum of money, as much as you can raise, this railway is still profitable, and the most important thing is to be safe..."

Deng Jian was on the side, heard Wang Bushi's words clearly, and looked at Wang Bushi sympathetically: "Master, people outside say that there are too many rules here, I'm afraid it may not be a good business."

Glancing at Deng Jian, Wang Bushi was calm and relaxed: "This is the opinion of ordinary people. If you follow ordinary people's thinking, let alone earning money, you won't even be able to eat ashes. You have been following the old man for many years. , don't you have any vision?"

He paused for a moment, and seemed to think that although Deng Jian ate a lot of food, he was more mature than before, so he said: "The most feared thing about business is that there are no rules, especially when it involves big things like building railways and paying money. If you are willing to agree to everything, then you must be careful in this transaction, because once the matter becomes serious in the future, the imperial court will never allow merchants to control the state. The more rules, it shows that the imperial court sincerely hopes to cooperate with merchants and hope that each other Mutual benefit can be achieved, what is this, this is sincerity!"

"In this way, although the power of management is entirely in the hands of the imperial court, to a certain extent, it means that we and the imperial court have become one and share weal and woe. This not only makes us feel at ease, but also allows the imperial court... The fee is penny, and the construction of the railway is sweet."

"With this sweetness, the imperial court will definitely not kill chickens to keep warm, but will try their best to maintain a profit margin for us. Do you know why?"

Deng Jian seemed to understand, but shook his head and nodded again.

Wang Bushi smiled and said: "Because... standing on the side of the court and thinking about it, since the merchants can't shake the country, the merchants have invested so much money, and they want to make a profit. If they don't benefit everyone, who will invest in the future?" More money to build more railroads."

"At the beginning, I was still worried, so I didn't want to touch the railway business, but now... I feel completely relieved, because this investment is a model for the Xishan Bank and the Zhenguo Mansion, and the more restrictions , the more it shows that the Zhenguo Mansion has put a lot of thought into it. People who have reached the level of this old man cannot invest all their money in the mansion and the stock market. Exceed

If the old man passes away in the future, it is useless for them to hold gold and silver mountains. Put this silver into the railway. Although the current profit of the railway is far less than that of the mansion and stocks, this transaction is a hundred-year plan. It's for the sake of future generations. Deng Jian, you have followed this old man for so many years. The old man has exhausted the truth. Let's see how much you can draw. The old man is from Wuchang, and he wants to raise funds to build a railway to Wuchang. "

As he said that, he stood up as if he had made up his mind, and said resolutely: "Raise funds and use all your strength!"

Deng Jian didn't say anything, just nodded obediently: "Oh."

…………

While small merchants and ordinary people were still in doubt, quite a few big commercial firms took the lead in taking action.

So one by one, the plans for the construction of the railways were sent to the Zhen Guo Mansion, waiting for the Zhen Guo Mansion's verification.

Here in Zhen Guo Mansion, countless prospecting personnel were also dispatched to determine the feasibility of the plan and the approximate cost.

These big trading houses probably have the same thoughts as Wang Bushi.

Eggs can't be put in one basket. The bigger the business, the more people don't want to be opportunistic and pursue those high-return and high-risk transactions, but strive for stability.

The delivery of all proposals is by no means as simple as just submitting a proposal, but requires a deposit, and the amount of the deposit is very huge, so... the merchants have just made preparations for the early stage fundraising.

Fang Jifan received more than 70 proposals like this.

Strange to say, Fang Jifan compared the plan and looked at the hometowns of these big merchants, but found that they were more inclined to build the railway to their hometowns.

The love for hometown of the ancients can be seen.

Fang Jifan couldn't help feeling emotional: "Looking up at the bright moon, looking down at my hometown... Oh, where is my hometown?"

Standing aside, Wang Jinyuan blinked, looking at the young master, he was also a little confused.

This...is a little unknown, the Fang family followed Taizu Emperor Gao to raise troops, then guarded Beiping, and then...followed Yan Wang Jingnan.

Having stayed in Nanjing and the capital, there seems to be rumors that the Fang family may be from Jiangxi...

Of course... this matter... no one cares about it anymore. Everyone knows that the Fang family originally came from the Nanhebo Mansion in the capital, and no one cares about the others except Fang Jinglong.

Fang Jifan said: "I heard from my father that the Fang family was originally from Yichun, Jiangxi. Oh, so I still have so many fellow villagers? Maybe...the old cousins ​​in Jiangxi are still five years old with Fang Jifan. It was a family a hundred years ago."

However, Wang Jinyuan shivered violently, and immediately began to search in his head for a few friends of the Jiangxi chief envoy he knew, wondering whether he should inform them in advance and let them quickly change their origins for refuge.

Fang Jifan held these pieces of proposals in his hand, but fortunately he did not continue to pursue the question just now, but got down to business: "This time, more than 70 railways, large and small, will be built. Let’s review all the qualifications carefully, and don’t allow people to come in. Besides, we must quickly explore. With these scattered branch lines as a supplement, the progress of this railway will not take long. Much faster."

Wang Jinyuan raised his thumb immediately: "The young master built seventy railways for the imperial court without spending a penny, and the disciples of Yi Yin and Zhong Hui can't compare with the young master."

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "Get lost, you amateur bastard."

Wang Jinyuan was relieved, and wanted to get out of bed a long time ago, so he ran away in a hurry.

Fang Jifan hurriedly collected all these plans, and then rushed directly to the cabinet.

Although he is now a cabinet scholar, Fang Jifan has not come to the cabinet many times. It is difficult to get the cabinet today, so he went to meet Liu Jian first.

Liu Jian looked Fang Jifan up and down, and said in his mouth: "I heard that Lord Zhen is so busy recently that his feet don't touch the ground. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes." Fang Jifan breathed out: "For the sake of the emperor, I, a courtier, have broken my heart. It's not because of the matter of attracting business. Fortunately, it's all done. Please take a look at Mr. Liu."

Liu Jian looked suspicious, and took a stack of reports.

When he looked down, his face suddenly changed, and his body couldn't help trembling.

More than seventy?

All over the north and south of the river...

These merchants are really weird, they are giving money on the pole.
