Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 144 As we all know, King Qin only cares about money
In fact, Zhu Xi has emphasized more than once that building railways may be a loss of money.

However, Luo Hang still sharpened his head and wanted to get in.

why?
Naturally, he saw Zhu Xi's other words.

system!

In the future Ming Dynasty, a railway alone will become an independent government office.

This is why Luo Hang wants to come in.

Luo Hang knew very well that he was completely tied to Zhu Xi's chariot.

Both of his daughters were given to Zhu Xi.

And he doesn’t even have a title.

Luo Hang was also prepared that his two daughters would have no status for the rest of their lives.

Because this person is Zhu Xiang!

But not enough.

His cousin is currently the top leader in Xin'an County.

Although the official position is only the magistrate of Xin'an County, everyone knows that once Luo Min is qualified and transferred, his position will definitely not be under Xiang Hai, and at the very least, he will be in the same palace.

But so far, this is the only politician that Luo Hang represents from the Luo family in Panyu Prefecture.

For the Luo family, currently the most generous and wealthy family in Lingnan, this is not enough.

Luo Hang and his son Luo Zhong currently plan to go to Srivijaya to serve as a local official.

However, the official career chosen by Luo Zhong was slower to bear fruit.

So Luo Hang focused on the railway yamen again.

He doesn't care about throwing money.

The money that Luo Hang earns every year, after taking into account the share to the Qin Palace and the "filial piety" to Zhu Xi, is still in the millions, and it is all silver.

Businessmen these days have no sense of security.

No matter how much money you have, the government can collect it all from you in just one sentence.

The same goes for Luo Hang.

However, the government could do nothing to him.

But Zhu Ping can.

Whether the Luo family prospers or declines can be determined by Zhu Ping's words.

So Luo Hang said to Zhu Xing: "Your Highness, our Luo family intends to spend at least 200 million silver every year in the railway office, and there are three young people in the family who majored in railway transportation in college. This subordinate plans to let them work in the Railway Yamen, and after a few years, go to Zhenxi City to repair the railway, and I hope His Highness can make it happen!"

"Two million silver a year, is that all you want?"

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "Lao Luo, your wishful thinking is getting louder and louder. I remember that you once said that you hope the Luo family can get a special train."

Special trains, in the current planning, are only owned by Prince Qin’s Palace.

That was a special train belonging to Zhu Xiang.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, even the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang did not exist yet.

However, Luo Hang also wanted a special train that belonged to him.

Luo Hang is not doing it for enjoyment, but purely for convenience of transportation.

Because all the wealth he plundered from overseas trade will eventually be transported back to Panyu City. That is, he can transport it back to Xin'an County by sea ship, but he still has to transport it back to Panyu City from Xin'an County.

It would be much more convenient for him if he had a special train.

For Luo Hang's request, Zhu Xi also readily agreed.One million taels of silver per year, no matter who it is, a special train can be arranged.

Luo Hang is not the only one I want right now.

Shen Sen wanted it too.

Moreover, his price is more expensive, because the special train Shen Sen wants is from Panyu Fucheng to Hangzhou.

Now that Luo Hang wants to recruit people to the Railway Yamen, the price will naturally be higher.

As we all know, as long as King Qin has money, he can sell anything.

He doesn't even have a plane now, but as long as you give him money, he can draw you a big pie and sell it to you in advance.

So Luo Hang knew very well that Zhu Xi's words were not rejection.

But three words: You have to pay more!
"My subordinates will add another 50 yuan every year!" Luo Hang said, and then begged: "Your Highness, my subordinates' annual filial piety to the Qin Palace has exceeded 500 million yuan. Every year, more than half of the money my subordinates earn is given to Your Highness, I hope that Your Highness will be considerate of your subordinates and do more convenient things!"

"Old Luo."

Zhu Fang said coldly: "There is no need to be like this between you and me! Let's do this, you round up the whole number, 600 million per year, your Luo family has three places in the railway yamen, but remember to go back and warn your people that you are not allowed to fish in troubled waters after arriving at the yamen. . In addition, among the several new factories in Huizhou Prefecture, one can be given to your Luo family. You can choose a capable person from the family to take over and be responsible for producing cars."

Directly to a car factory, and since Zhu Ping plans to do this, he must arrange it with technical talents.

This is absolutely profitable!

Although Luo Hang knew that Zhu Xiang intended to open up car production and turn it into private business, Luo Hang had no experience in manufacturing cars, and he was afraid that Zhu Xi would be disgusted if he asked for too much, so he never dared to speak.

Now with such a good thing, Luo Hang was so grateful that he quickly said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that Luo Hang will definitely warn the people... Moreover, Luo Hang will continue to take care of all matters for His Highness overseas."

"It's hard for you too."

Zhu Ming sighed: "You spend less than a month at home in a year. You go out to work for me every year. Naturally, I will not forget you and your family. Okay, you retreat. Go on! The day after tomorrow the railway will be officially opened to traffic, and you will also take the bus back to Panyu Fucheng with me, go home and have a look, and explain to the family members by the way."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Luo Hang was very grateful, and even his eyes were moist.

No wonder he was so moved.

In fact, Luo Hang did pay a lot for Zhu Xi's overseas career.

Luo Hang didn't even dare to ask Zhu Xi, the King of Qin, to know about it, but Zhu Xi saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart... Of course, Luo Hang also knew that his two daughters were also the reason why Zhu Xi could remember him.

Every time Zhu Xi went to Linxing, the sisters Luo Jie and Luo Luo Jing, he saw almost every time Luo Hang, the head of the family, was not at home, and the family got together less and separated more.

In Lingnan, there are actually many families like the Luo family.

Everyone is here to make money.

However, Luo Hang not only wants to make money, he also runs around for Zhu Ping.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Luo Hang is still one of Zhu Ming's father-in-law.

If Zhu Ping reuses him, he will naturally get some benefits.

In fact, they even treated the entire Luo clan very favorably.

In ancient times, if you wanted to hire people, you could only follow the family route, because the ancient people had a strong sense of family in their bones.

Like Luo Hang, in order to revitalize the family, he can spend millions of taels of silver to buy an official position for his cousin in the family. You know how important the development of the family is in Luo Hang's heart.

After staying one night in Xin'an County, Zhu Ping found Zhu Biao the next day and took him to see the newly completed train station.

This was also the first railway station planned and built in the Ming Dynasty.

Xin'an County Railway Station is located in Kowloon Port.

The construction time was several days earlier than the railway station in Panyu Prefecture, and it was also completed several days earlier.

It is also here that the first train in Ming Dynasty and even in the world is about to start running!
