The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 436 Old Fox Li Ji

Among the two emperors since 420 in the past dynasties, there are only three in the first rank who are the most courageous and the most outstanding.

Zulong, Hanwu, Tangzong.

Needless to say their achievements, their courage is rare in the world.

When Zulong was there, he attacked the Xiongnu in the north and broke through Baiyue in the south, and built the Great Wall and straight roads.

As soon as Han Wu came to power, he immediately put an end to the shameful days of relying on selling women to survive, drove those soft bones out of the court, and sent troops to fight against the seemingly invincible Xiongnu, and won the battle.

We must know that at that time, the whole court of the Han Dynasty was mainly based on marriage.

After all, sending a woman can be exchanged for a peaceful and comfortable life of enjoyment, who would not want it?
Han Wu reversed this situation with his own strength, how courageous it is.

Li Yunze believed that Li Er could do it too, and the objections from all the officials could not really affect Li Er's judgment, not even Empress Changsun.

If he didn't have this ambition, then Li Er wouldn't be qualified to be compared with Zulong Hanwu.

Li Yunze quickly let go of the matter here, and the rest of the work was Li Er's.

On his side, he has started to handover with the two major consortiums of Guanzhong and Kanto.

Both the two consortiums sent a large number of convoys to Lijiazhuang, and those four-wheeled carriages were filled with heavy boxes.

Inside the box were heavy copper coins, as well as precious metals such as gold and silver.

Of course, there are also silks, but the imperial court has started currency reform, and it is stated that silks will quickly withdraw from the ranks of currencies, so Li Yunze rarely accepts this thing by name.

Representatives of Xungui and aristocratic families gathered in Lijiazhuang to discuss the start of the railway construction.

"Master Li." The representative of the clan, the old man from the Cui family in Boling, said calmly, "I have already sent the money and goods. May I ask when the construction can start?"

"Well." Li Yunze smiled very kindly, "I have to wait a little longer."

The nobles sitting on the left were laughing and joking, but didn't pay much attention.

But the representatives of the aristocratic family quit and shouted, "What are you waiting for after all the money has been collected?"

Sitting on the chair, Li Yunze's smile gradually faded, "I'm afraid you still haven't figured it out, it's you who begged me to give you a way to make money, not me to beg you."

What these people said is correct, the goods have already been received, so naturally there is no need to continue acting.

The aristocratic families were making noise, and they didn't expect Li Yunze to have such an attitude.

'We gave you a huge sum of money that the imperial court didn't even have! '

The route from Chang'an City to Weizhou is almost 600 miles. Calculated on the basis of [-] miles per mile, the powerful families spent a huge sum of more than [-] million yuan.

What is sent now is the down payment, which is a full 200 ​​million guan, and the rest must be paid within three months.

This is 600 million guan, each family has almost taken out all the goods on hand, and many families have even taken out part of the hidden goods.

How could such a huge sum of money fall into Li Yunze's hands for nothing? How could this be tolerated?
Facing the raging anger of the representatives of the aristocratic family, Li Yunze picked up the tea bowl leisurely and contentedly, "I am the most honest person, since I have given you the opportunity to make a fortune, I will naturally not break my promise."

"It's not that they won't start work, but those who can build the railway are busy repairing the line from Chang'an City to Luoyang. They have to wait until they finish their current work before they can turn around and work on this side."

It was barely an explanation, and the noise gradually decreased a lot.

However, doubts followed. "May I ask Master Li, should I go to Lanzhou first, or go to Sichuan and Sichuan first?"

This question is very critical, and even those noble representatives who watched the excitement cast their eyes on it.

"Naturally, it's one side and half." Li Yunze's expression remained the same. "The two roads are equally important, and no one takes sides."

This is a very good arrangement. Although Xungui and the family want to build the railway they invested in as quickly as possible, and then quickly make money to pay back the cost, it is acceptable for them to equally share the construction capacity.

Of course, there are still some questions, "May I ask Mr. Li, how can this railway be completed?"

"It must take a few years." Li Yunze waved his hand, "You don't need to think too much about it. Your right to operate the railway will not start counting the time until the completion of the railway. It won't delay your making money for as long as it takes to repair it."

That being said, several elderly representatives of aristocratic families almost suffered from high blood pressure.

600 million Guan, if you use it to lend interest, do you know how much you can earn?How many years have you been locked up here?

Of course, in this era, there is no way to release so much interest money, because the population is not too large, the life of the people in the Tang Dynasty is still good, and there are not many people who really need to borrow money.

This is the real reason why the aristocratic families are willing to spend a lot of money to invest in railways.

After all, there is not much interest to put at this time, and the government also prohibits land sales.You can't do the two things that have the most investment value. If you keep a large amount of money in your hands, you have to find a place where you can make money and invest it.

Aristocratic families don't invest casually, they have conducted a long-term investigation before.

It can even be said that when Li Yunze started to build the Chang'an-Shengzhou Railway, the secret investigation had already begun.

Relying on the disciples and old officials all over the world, the aristocratic family is actually very clear about the inside story of the entire railway.He also knew that Li Yunze had already made a lot of money by passing this railway line.

In fact, what the aristocratic families want most is the soon-to-be-completed railway line from Chang'an City to Luoyang City. They also know that this is the place where gold and silver really flow.

It's just that the technology of this thing is exclusively owned by Li Yunze, and no matter whether it's conspiracy or plunder, it's useless to him, so he can only turn his attention to other places.

Otherwise, according to the routine operation of the aristocratic family, Li Yunze and the railway technology would be swallowed up, including the belt and bones.

Don't think it's unbelievable, in this era and even hundreds of years ago, those aristocratic families are so awesome.

"It's not impossible to speed up the progress."

Looking at the representatives of those aristocratic families who were insatiable, the disgust in Li Yunze's eyes did not hide the slightest "Just add more money."

What is a cancerous tumor, these people are it.

When the dynasty was prosperous, they relied on the network to enslave the people and suck blood crazily, corrupt and depraved and committing all kinds of evil.

When the dynasty fell, they hid behind their backs or ended up in person, causing a catastrophe and massacring countless people, and persisted in the strategy of fooling the people to the end, because only the stupidity of the people can make them reap well.

As for taking the initiative to take effect when foreign insults come, kneeling down and calling grandpa to send the surrender form, it is a routine operation.

For Li Yunze's request for more money, the aristocratic family all scoffed.

Their real plan is to figure out everything inside and out through this incident, and then try their best to get the technology.

In the future, it would be to kick Li Yunze and the imperial court away, and they would be able to build profitable routes in the rich and fertile land.

Li Yunze was very clear about their plan. In fact, from the beginning of the construction of the Changsheng Railway, the aristocratic family had already started to do it.To trick them this time is to take the initiative to drag them into the mud pit, saving them from making trouble for themselves.

After some bustling quarrels, the people from the aristocratic families left satisfied after getting the guarantee that they would start work within half a year at the earliest.

On the other hand, the nobles began to ask whether it would affect the railway line they invested in.

"No problem." Li Yunze waved his hand grandly, "I assure you that your investment will be rewarded in the shortest possible time."

After getting this guarantee, the nobles also chose to leave with great satisfaction, but Li Ji stayed on purposely.

"Li Gong." Li Yunze picked up the tea bowl, "It's useless to say anything, I won't bet with you again. The "Luo Shen Fu Tu" has entered my hands, and no one can take it back."

It is really impossible to take it back, because Li Yunze has already sent the things back to the modern world.

Unexpectedly, Li Ji said with a smile that was not a smile, "Boy, is it a fool to be an old man? Your plan, the old man can see clearly!"

Li Yunze, whose heart was beating slightly, immediately frowned and said, "Mr. Li, what are you talking about, I don't understand."

"not understand?"

Li Ji said with a smile, "Then make it clear, you plan to cheat those idiots from Kanto."

Seeing Li Yunze's downcast face and silence, Li Ji said with a smile, "When Your Majesty helped me wait to get the line to Lanzhou, I was suspicious. At that time, they all thought that this is what you and Your Majesty wanted. Give us a better place to make more money
.Later, the old man thought about it carefully, you are planning to cheat the idiots of Kanto! "

"This old man has been to the land of Shu. The roads in the land are difficult and difficult, and the old man has a deep understanding." Li Ji's smile is as proud as a fox who has stolen a chicken. The truth is figured out. The old man knows that the land of Shu

It is difficult, it is impossible to build a railway to Shu, but it is cheaper than to build a railway to Lanzhou. "

Speaking of this, Li Ji raised his finger, "There is only one explanation, that is, you plan to drag the idiots in Kanto into the pit first, and then suck their blood little by little!"

Li Ji, this old Yinbi, really deserves to be an old fox, what he said is absolutely right.

However, Li Yunze did not panic at all.

He took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Mr. Li, is this trying to ruin His Majesty's plan?"

"Hahaha~~~"

Li Ji stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "Don't use your majesty to suppress me, this trick is useless."

"The old man also thinks those fools in Kanto don't like it, I won't make trouble about it. It's just"

Speaking of this, Li Ji looked over with a smile, "Your plan is seen through by the old man, and you are considered a loser. You must give the old man some satisfactory compensation."

"Compensation? What compensation do you want?" Li Yunze sighed and put down his teacup. "I said I won't gamble."

Speaking of this, Li Ji's eyelids twitched.

He has been a shadowy person all his life, but he never thought that he would be tricked by a young man like Li Yunze.

"Luo Shen Fu Tu" is nothing, but this tone must be released.

"I don't care."

Li Ji simply got up to play a rogue, "I must give the old man a satisfactory compensation, otherwise, even if it doesn't destroy His Majesty's plan, the old man will still make things difficult for you, so that you won't be so happy to fool the fool!"
