Chapter 1776: Long-term peace and stability Sun Qi, who has seen a lot of money, is the most enthusiastic about the construction of railways, because he knows better than many people what the investment in a railway will mean, and what it can drive.
A railroad requires enough steel and timber for dozens of workshops to rise from the ground, not to mention the capital invested in the railway, as well as countless steel and logging workshops, countless craftsmen and apprentices, and countless technicians.
That's not all, after the railroad is built, you have to buy steam cars, and the workshops of steam cars can be profitable, and the construction of steam cars is innumerable, and there are countless parts processing workshops, as well as workshops that provide rubber, and even coal mining workshops, all benefit.
If that's it, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
Think about it, the original barren land, all of a sudden because of the opening of the road, means that more businessmen are willing to go to the depths of the desert to build farms, a lot of land in the town can also be sold, with farms, there are markets, you can settle a large number of immigrants, His Royal Highness King Lu's order, through the railway network, morning and evening, to reach all corners hundreds of miles away, to those places that have been connected to the railway, effective and direct management.
Wherever there is chaos, the new army is ready to go early in the morning, and within a day or two, it can arrive at the place of the incident with sufficient supplies, and the many benefits here are really innumerable.
If King Lu's rule over the entire desert is only a so-called concept, after all, the vast majority of the desert is uninhabited, but once the railway connects it, it is completely different.
As Ye Chunqiu's uncle, both public and private, Sun Qi hopes to better promote the development of the Lu State.
Therefore, Sun Qi can be said to be so busy every day that he can't catch his breath, seeing the people of various chambers of commerce, and trying his best to encourage them to build branch lines.
In the past few days, there have been dozens of interested commercial banks and chambers of commerce.
Of course, this is a good thing, and Sun Qi wishes that the railway would be repaired more.
However, Sun Qi did not continue to deal with those chambers of commerce today, but took the time to follow Tang Bohu and specially went to greet the rumored envoy Deng.
After all, this big man, there are a lot of legends about him, all in all, he is a person who is not easy to deal with, which makes Sun Qi very worried, just afraid that this guy will toss around, don't scare the businessmen.
"Didn't you say that it was the convoy of Zhao Ji Commercial Bank, why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Sun Qi said, his expression showing a little anxious.
Tang Bohu was much more stable than before, but said with a faint smile: "If it is delayed halfway, it is not impossible, there is no hurry." ” Sun Qi also smiled, and then said, "Tang Gong must be very worried." ” At this time, Tang Bohu also had the nickname of Tang Gong, he pursed his lips: "I don't have to worry, I just think it's too sudden, in fact, Qinglong has developed too fast, thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, how much silver circulates here, to tell the truth, the rule of officials is actually not much better, a few days ago, I punished one, but the water is clear, there is no fish, people to observe there are no disciples, even if I want to manage, I can't manage it, since this inspector is here, it's okay, I'll be idle." ” Sun Qi obviously agreed with Tang Bohu's statement, and nodded with a slight smile.
Tang Bohu glanced at Sun Qi sideways, and said: "But Mr.
Sun should be careful, in that place of China Merchants, there is too much silver in his hands, God knows how many are unclean, you, you are the uncle of His Royal Highness King Lu, and his family has a lot of money, of course he doesn't care about what to embezzle, but it's not easy for others to say." ” Sun Qi thought about it, frowned involuntarily, and said: "Many people in China Merchants have a good relationship with the merchants, and now, the railway is recruiting merchants to build branch lines. ” "So" Tang Bohu paused for a moment, and then said with deep meaning: "So at the moment, the most important thing is to appease the hearts of the merchants, to let them know that this Deng Jian is not coming for them, the major newspapers, to say hello in advance, all departments and bureaus, also to say hello, let them keep to themselves, otherwise no one can protect them, this Deng Inspector, even I, the first assistant young bachelor, have to be supervised by him, not to mention others, if anyone commits his hands in the future, he will never be merciful." ” Sun Qi showed a cautious look on his face, nodded and said, "What Tang Gong said is true." ” After a while, a clerk stepped forward and said with a little wry smile: "The people from Zhang Ji Trading House have arrived, and they said that the supervisor got off the car halfway and disappeared. ” Sun Qi and Tang Bohu looked at each other, but found that the other party was not surprised.
Sun Qi said: "I look at it, this Deng Jian is becoming more and more difficult. ” Tang Bohu smiled, noncommittal.
In the Jingshi, Ye Chunqiu, who finally had a few quiet days, was soon unable to stay out of the matter.
Sure enough, there is a place for Deng Jian, and the official is boring.
At least from Qinglong's recital, you can roughly get a glimpse of the leopard.
That Deng Jian had just taken office, but for some reason, he impeached seven people on the spot, and the young cabinet did not dare to snub him, so he could only directly dismiss people and take two people.
Immediately afterwards, many people began to feel uneasy, so some people looked for Tang Bohu and Sun Qi to cry.
Tang Bohu was not panicked, he comforted them while repairing Ye Chunqiu's book.
Of course, Ye Chunqiu knew Deng Jian, and the person who could catch him must naturally have a stain on his body, and he began to toss non-stop when Deng Jian first arrived in Qinglong, although he couldn't cry or laugh, but in fact, he was happy to see it, so he simply ignored it.
But after this Inspector Deng led people into the China Merchants Bureau and took more than a dozen people, Ye Chunqiu really couldn't sit still.
In fact, greedy for ink is like loss, Ye Chunqiu, as a ruler, doesn't care, what he cares about is stability, and he must not cause many officials to be uneasy because of something happening, and also make many businessmen hesitate.
Of course, it is best if the officials are self-denying, but everyone has greed.
Ye Chunqiu knew at this time that he couldn't continue to sit in this Jingshi like this, and finally decided to go back to solve this problem.
Deng Jian is greedy, this is naturally to be supported, this is a good thing, there is no reason not to support it, after all, this is also for the sake of the long-term stability of the Lu country.
But how to minimize the damage, Ye Chunqiu had to use his brain.
Therefore, as soon as he made a decision, he went directly to the palace and submitted his resignation to Zhu Houzhao in the warm pavilion. aa2705221:
