At night, Pan Jinlian and Wu Da were in bed, and because they slept for half a day during the day, neither of them was sleepy.

Pan Jinlian asked, "Xianggong, did you put her to sleep?"

Wu Da looked at her in surprise: "Why do you say that?"

"I'll ask!"

Wu Da knew that there was no way to hide this, so he simply nodded: "Yes!"

He thought Pan Jinlian was jealous, but Pan Jinlian sighed.

"Alas, it is said that men become bad when they have money, you see, are there still few women in our family?"

"Cut~ you only care about playing mahjong, and you don't think about my feelings~

" Pan Jinlian smiled slightly: "Isn't I afraid that you can't stand it?"

"Excuses! Do you play mahjong and light up the lights, when I am blind or when I am stupid? I already knew I wouldn't get that stuff for you!

Pan Jinlian got into Wu Da's arms and said softly: "Xianggong, we are now a rich and rival country, and we can't spend all the money we earned, so let's move out of Tokyo and find a place to retire?"

"Pension? Am I old?

Pan Jinlian pouted: "The slave family doesn't mean that, Tokyo is under the feet of the Son of Heaven after all." Our sisters have discussed a few times, since the emperor asked you to build the railway, and let you pay, this is clearly to make Xianggong bleed.

Wu Da shook his head: "Who said that if he asked me to repair me, I have to repair it, then doesn't that mean by me?"

Pan Jinlian was surprised: "Is the railway Xianggong to repair?"

Wu Da nodded: "That's natural, if I don't repair it, could it be that the emperor still forced me to pay, how can there be this reason?"

"However, our sister went to see the railway, that section is made of good iron, this repair is tens of miles, it has already cost a million taels, to be repaired to hundreds of miles, is our family's money enough?"

"Then according to what the lady said, what else is the best way?"

Pan Jinlian rolled her eyes thoughtfully, and then said: "If only we had an iron mine, we couldn't spend money on iron every way." "

Iron ore?" Wu Da fell into deep thought, if there is really an iron mine, it is still good. Then Wu Da suddenly thought of something and said: "No, the iron we use must be extracted from iron ore by the imperial court, that is to say, I build railways, play with my life and burn money, and the iron ore of the official family is also produced continuously."

Pan Jinlian nodded: "The slave family thinks it is the same, so that our family is getting poorer and poorer the more cultivation, while the imperial court is getting richer and richer..."

Wu said angrily: "Zhao Yao, you are a bastard, you actually cut my leeks, I really didn't expect it, I will go to him to ask for money when I turn back!"

Pan Jinlian said in surprise: "Forget it, the official family is the son of heaven, how can Xianggong fight with the emperor?"

Wu Da nodded: "That's so, but the imperial court doesn't pay a penny, this sells me iron or the market price, which is clearly asking me to work for him." Again coal, again steelmaking. All these materials are my money, no, I have to go to him another day.

"Xianggong can't, according to the slave family, Xianggong only needs to cry poverty with the official family, and must not conflict with the official family!" Pan Jinlian obviously had no confidence in her heart.

The night grew darker, Wu Da glanced at his money-making progress, so far, he had earned no less than four million silver, but there was not much silver in storage, all burned on the rails.

Let's not say that the task does not calculate consumption, but this precarious chain of funds already stretches him. As for avoiding the imperial court, it was unnecessary, after all, the purpose of him and Zhao He was also to promote the economic development of the Great Song Dynasty, not only to make the people's lives better, but to gradually introduce science and technology to make people's lives more convenient.

If you want to be rich, build roads first. This concept can never be wrong, after all, transportation in this dynasty, the cost is too high. If the railway can pass, then at least .

. No, since the railway is fast and stable, the charge must be at least the same as the long-distance dart.

When he earns enough tasks, he gradually reduces the price. In other words, it is necessary to bring in funds now and spread the idea of equity, otherwise, if the funds are insufficient, the rail plan is bound to die.

Just as Wu Da was thinking about something, Pan Jinlian said softly: "Xianggong, you weren't there yesterday, and the child wasn't around, and it was very high..." Wu Da was

stunned, and suddenly smiled lewdly....

......

After resting in Yanggu Prefecture for a few days, the road surface had been leveled, and Wuda returned to Tokyo with a few people.

When there was still some way to go to Tokyo, you could already see that a section of the railway was beginning to take shape.

Pan Jinlian couldn't help but sigh: "This is all made of white flowers and silver.

Wu laughed and said, "Don't worry, you will earn it back in the future." "

Watch as workers lay railroad tracks, sections of rails are connected, and then fused together with thermite agent. Wu Da couldn't help but sigh.

"This would also support the steam engine trains, and when the internal combustion engine came out, the rails had to be re-welded."

After all, the strength is still a little worse than welding, but electricity has not yet been invented, let alone welding machines. Fortunately, everything is replaceable.

After returning to Tokyo, Wuda went to find Zhao He again.

"Big brother, where have you been these days, the recent heavy rain nearby has caused floods, and tens of thousands of displaced people have come, all of them have gone to

you..." The corner of Wu Da's mouth twitched: "Wocao, don't point at me alone..." Zhao

He sighed: "Then there is no way, you are well treated there, if you don't go there, can't you sell yourself to other wealthy gentry and nobles?"

Wu Da ignored his stubble and said directly: "This railway is too expensive, I am running out of silver, you give me a way..."

Running out so quickly? Zhao He was a little incredulous.

"Nonsense, you go to see that they have repaired hundreds of miles, this is all money!"

Zhao Yao's face was a little hesitant, and said: "Iron ore mining is still urgent, I am looking for you to think of a way?"

Then, Zhao He handed over a cigarette, and the two smoked it.

"Selling iron ore, the imperial court didn't make less money, right?"

Zhao Yao's face turned red: "Hey, brother, your pattern is small, and the imperial court is not making money from me alone, it is all used for disaster relief, after all, the tax is very low now, and the landlord's family has no surplus food!!

"Grass, I didn't think about the iron mine at all, and I built the railway to burn money, you are especially good, while I build the road, you have become rich."

Zhao Yao's face straightened and said, "That's wronging me." Although iron ore can bring benefits to the imperial court, it is also hard money, and there are not many who really report to the imperial court! "

How many?"

"About one million taels..." "

No, I spent at least three million taels... So who is responsible for iron ore and coal?

Zhao He shook his head: "Then don't think about it, after all, it is all manpower mining, how much output can be made, and the workers have to pay food and wages, which is also a lot of consumption." Although you earn a little, the iron you get is good iron that is made into steel.

"Then what if I run out of money, do I continue to repair?"

Zhao He hesitated: "Repair is necessary, but you have to consider where the money comes from." In this way, I will allocate all this million income to you?

"That's pretty much it!"

"But that can be extended by tens of miles at most, which is far from enough, right?"

Wu Da nodded: "Not enough is not enough, but hand over the iron ore to me and let me settle the displaced people to dig, that is not enough." You can also save the middlemen to earn the difference..."

Yes! "
