Chapter 45: The United Front Tie Xi naturally doesn't care about making money.
After being ridiculed by the emperor's grandfather, he also had no bottom in his heart, and handed over the matter of making money to Wei Chiwen with the greatest sense of trust.
Wei Chiwen immediately became very busy, and all the imperial relatives who had a house in Tokyo were run over by him in six days.
After he walked over, there was a group of Hami merchants who once again walked into the palace of the emperor's relatives, compared to Tie Xi and Wei Chiwen, they were real professionals.
Kaifeng to Luoyang is only 400 miles, and the same river line, and the terrain is flat, densely populated, where the railway passes, whether it is manpower, material resources can be supplemented nearby, the only deficiency is the lack of wood, fortunately there is a canal, Shuzhong wood can go down the river, and finally be transported to Kaifeng, Luoyang line, Using the example of the railway between Qingxiang City and Hami City, it was very easy to convince the imperial relatives who buried their money in the soil.
A month later, Tiexi had scraped together enough money to start construction, and the first batch of timber had already marched to Luoyang along the Yangtze River.
The craftsmen in charge of the exploration route will set off from Tokyo and Luoyang respectively by car, horseback, or carrying heavy tools, and begin to find the most economical and shortest route.
The activities of the Hami people in Tokyo were so loud that they did not hide it at all, and when the railway was still on models and drawings, the people of Tokyo already knew that there was a strange road in the Great Song Dynasty.
The reason why it is strange is that it only takes half a day to get from Luoyang to Tokyo.
As a result, the whole of Tokyo immediately boiled, and the railway inevitably became a Yellow Turban Lux in the mouths of storytellers and ordinary people.
The East Palace is overcrowded, the largest number of people is from Hami's account room, each desk is piled up with a high stack of ledgers, each ledger is a variety of extremely cumbersome records, want to sort out these ledgers clearly, if you don't use Hami tents, just to understand these four-pillar account methods, you can live the first life of the ledger to death.
Four hundred miles of railway, along the way not only to open the mountain, the same, also need to build a bridge, fortunately do not need to drill caves, otherwise, on the current construction conditions, can not be completed at all, can be called the largest project since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, before this, only the repair of the Yellow River embankment can be slightly comparable to it.
"There is a railway, there must be a gallop, the big teapot train has not been successful so far, can only rely on the horse to pull the carriage, just the cost of raising the horse, is a big number, this is not counting the acres of land occupied by the railway, the hardwood, cork, steel needed to lay the railway......
Without three or five years, it will be difficult to build it. ” Wei Chiwen's spine fell softly on the soft couch as if it had been pulled out, and in the face of Tie Xi's gaze, he reluctantly gave a very irresponsible timetable.
Tie Xi turned his head regretfully and looked at Wang Yandao, who was standing with his hands down, and said: "I wanted to invite the imperial grandfather to take the train to Luoyang Longmen on the 50th anniversary of the Emperor's Grandfather's Thousand Autumn Festival, but I didn't expect it to come to naught." ” Wang gradually said astringently: "The son of the world is benevolent and filial, and God will have mercy." ” Yu Chiwen shook his head and said: "No, the Great Song Dynasty is not a Hami country, my Hami country can use Western Xia slaves, savage slaves to work day and night, plus the Hami country itself is dry and rainless, and it can be constructed all year round, and the natural progress is rapid."
The Great Song Dynasty had no slaves, so it could only use the power of the government to levy the people, and if the people were persecuted too much, there would be the disaster of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, if they did not do so, the construction period was far away.
Unless ......"
"Unless what?
What do you have to say, what is the secret here to do?
Tie Xi was irritable, and his voice couldn't help but become urgent.
Yu Chiwen spread his hands and said with a smile: "Unless there is a catastrophe in Gyeonggi Province in the Great Song Dynasty, it is the time when the major project starts when the displaced people are everywhere. ” Tie Xi frowned and said: "Don't say anything like this, I think that you can not work for the government to levy people's husbands, and instead use labor to pay craftsmen, so that others can't say anything." ” Wei Chiwen sat up and said embarrassedly: "Where's the money?"
I've exhausted all my resources, and there's nothing else I can do. ” Tie Xi smiled silently and said, "I'll find a way, speaking of which, my Hami son is still worth a few pennies." ” "Where does the money come from?"
Tie Xi pointed helplessly to the east and said, "Hou clan!
” Wei Chiwen stood up in surprise and said, "Never!"
There is already a royal family sitting above the head of the prince, and if the descendants are pulled in, there will be another layer of imprisonment. ” Tie Xi shook his head and said: "Looking at my father's notes these days, I have some experience, my father said that if you want to succeed, you have to encircle everyone who can, and when we become the majority, things will be more than half successful."
As for the things that you are worried about making out of many ways, as long as we do things in a way that is in the best interests of the majority, we will be embraced. “ Wei Chiwen thought for a while and said: "This is impossible, it is impossible to guarantee the interests of most people forever, at least, in the case of the priority of the royal interests, it is impossible to do everything at all, everyone wants to please, and the result will only offend everyone." ” Tie Xi smiled and said: "Today you and I are in the alliance, Uncle Wang is a minority, tomorrow I am in alliance with Uncle Wang, and you have become a minority."
A railroad can pull everyone into the chariot of my Hami country, and no matter how much it costs, it is worth it, a united front strategy proposed by my father.
It's really a wonderful way to use it. ” Hearing Tie Xi mention the notes, Wei Chiwen's heart ached faintly, and it was only then that he figured out that the so-called notes were recorded by the king about his own merits and losses, as well as his way of thinking......
"In this way, the royal family can be friends with anyone, and can turn against their former allies at any time.
Where is the face?
Wei Chiwen tried his best to convince Tie Xi not to give up his royal dignity.
"Emperor?
It's just a job for me, just like my father did in the Western Regions, just a job.
On the premise of ensuring that he is doing well, he is worthy of all the people in the world.
Isn't that the original intention of the emperors of all dynasties?
Okay, this matter is decided, I will go to the Beihai County Mansion in a while, Zhao Shu said, the Beihai County Mansion does not have much money, and this time I can take out 50,000 yuan to support me.
However, their family still has the Great Song Dynasty businessmen who have invested in the service, and it is not impossible to use the money of these people. ” Wei Chiwen watched Tie Xi walk out of the study, stretched out his hand to grab Tie Xi but pulled it empty.
So, he said to the king in a rage: "Why don't you stop it?
” Wang gradually pouted and said, "When have you ever seen a eunuch interfere in court affairs?"
” "Yes, such as fish ......"
"Pull it down, that's a traitor!"
When Tie Xi appeared in front of Zhao Zhen again with the financial commitment letter of the emperor's relatives, Zhao Zhen was shocked by the huge number and was speechless for a long time, and finally just waved his hand, even if he approved Tie Xi's plan to start building a railway between Tokyo and Luoyang.
The weather in Tokyo has cooled down in September, and after three days of autumn rain, the most colorful flowers in the Imperial Garden are chrysanthemums.
The Double Ninth Festival has passed, but Zhao Zhen still drank dogwood wine, knowing that this thing is not good, but because his heart is hot, he has to drink it.
Seeing the queen walking from the flowers with a basket full of flower branches, Zhao Zhen poured a glass of wine for the queen, and after the two drank it, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

One million four hundred and thirty thousand!
This is the money that Tie Xi raised in the name of investing in the Tokyo-Luoyang Railway, and this figure made Zhao Zhen almost faint.
He knew very well that even if he searched his inner treasury, he would not be able to scrape together the money.
And those relatives who always cry poor on weekdays can easily come up with such a large sum of money.
On weekdays, these relatives always hide their wealth, but now, they dare to expose it in a bright light, this feeling of being despised makes Zhao Zhen very unhappy.
"The royal relatives may not have so much money, most of it is invested by businessmen in the name of the imperial relatives."
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Is this true?
” Cao Shi smiled: "What's so hard to check this, you are afraid of those imperial relatives, so you stubbornly suppressed the doubts in your heart and tortured yourself."
The concubine doesn't have so many worries, as long as the king gradually goes to investigate, won't he know everything?
” Zhao Zhen shook his head solemnly and said: "If the businessmen spontaneously hand over the money to the Hami people, the problem will be even more serious. ” Cao Shi said helplessly: "Do you want to stop it?"
” Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment, drank a glass of wine, looked at the sun hanging on the eaves of the main hall and said, "I am already old......
Forget it, the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west, and someone should change something......"
"Once the construction of the railway begins, Xi'er will mobilize countless manpower and material resources, and the power will probably open a precedent for the Great Song Dynasty.
The concubine thought that Xi'er could do anything, but Tie Xinyuan couldn't. ” "That's the case, Tie Xinyuan can't be born in the Central Plains in this life!"
"Tie Xinyuan is arrogant and domineering, will he listen?"
"Yes, the world outside the Central Plains is big enough for him to gallop."
"Aren't you going to discuss it with the central courtiers?"
"No need, the Great Song Dynasty is in the midst of unprecedented changes, everyone wants to go down in history, there is a young emperor and ministers who are better to make achievements, they may hate me for not dying!"
"No, it won't!"
"Yes, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Pang Ji, Li Wei, Zhang Shuping, Di Qing, Yang Wenguang, Zhi Yuqing, and countless others are now staying outside and are unwilling to return to Beijing, but anyone who has some ability wants to take advantage of the great opportunity to destroy Western Xia and watch Yan Yun to plan for themselves. are waiting for the dust to settle before coming back, and at that time, there will be favors to support the new monarch, and there will be military exploits in expanding the border, and the new monarch will naturally treat them richly.
When I was a teenager, I saw with my own eyes that the world was hot and cold, whether it was from the hot cold and returned to the hot and cold, there was a beginning and an end. ” "You are still the king of the Great Song Dynasty!"
"This is nature, as long as I still have gas in my mouth, I am the master of this country......"
The chrysanthemums bloom brightly in autumn, and when they are illuminated by the setting sun, they become golden, as if they were made of gold.
