When the businessmen were busy going their separate ways, Li Shimin stayed behind and asked, "Yuanshan, can the train you just said really come true?"
Li Shimin's interest in the things Yuan Shan can not be perfunctory, so he responded: "Yes, the train can indeed be realized, and with the current steam technology of the Yuan family, it is completely achievable, but the manufacture of this train is not simple, the locomotive needs at least 200 tons of fine iron, and each carriage also needs at least 20 tons of fine iron, plus the rails for the construction of the railway, it is expected that the consumption of iron is not able to meet now." ” Yuan Shan is very frank, frankly shocked Li Shimin, so much iron is simply challenging the output of Datang iron ore, it can be said that just want to make this locomotive needs to use all the iron of the Tang Dynasty, it is really not an exaggeration, the iron production at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty is not high, and the total annual iron output of the country during the Tang Xuanzong period is 1,800 tons, which is not an exaggeration, just like the four iron oxen of Puzhou Bridge, each of which has sixty or seventy tons, and the construction of these four cattle used four-fifths of the annual iron production of the Tang Dynasty at that time.
And now it is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty and has not yet reached the level of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, so it is very difficult to make a locomotive with a weight of 200 tons.
Seeing that Li Shimin didn't seem to be in a good mood, Yuan Shan naturally knew that his words might be too white, so he said: "After the mining rights of iron ore are allocated, Datang's iron production will grow rapidly, and when the time comes, it may be possible to make trains without worrying about the amount of iron at all." ” This can be regarded as Yuanshan's consolation, but the main purpose of promoting the growth of Datang Iron Mine is to support the application of Cangzhou Shipyard, but this does not mean that the train project will be terminated, but now the conditions cannot be met, so this matter is not urgent.
When Yuan Shan was chatting with Li Shimin, the steam locomotive that Li Chengqian was riding drove back, and he was surrounded by a group of people to watch, which became the focus, and Li Shimin followed out when he saw this.
When Li Chengqian saw his father come out, he immediately stopped chattering, got out of the car after parking, and when he saw Li Shimin's curious eyes, he immediately said to the driver: "The steam car has been checked, so let's drive back to the East Palace now." ” The driver of the car complied, and a group of people who were still followed by the prince went straight to the imperial city.
Li Chengqian did not return to the East Palace because the first floor was his industry, and he didn't want to just be a shopkeeper for such an important reception business today.
Then Li Chengqian opened a high-level conference room for him and the ministers.
The first time Li Shimin came to the first floor, he had heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had built a restaurant, but today I came to see it, it was really shocking, where is it still a restaurant, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a palace with a cave.
Li Chengqian personally entertained, Li Shimin sat on the all-leather sofa and the first seat did not adapt to its softness, many ministers are also very curious about the sofa in this conference room, in this room not only has a conference room, next to the conference room is a dining room, the entertainment specifications are very magnificent.
In addition, these ministers looked very curious, the interior style and furniture decoration were full of nobility and majesty, Li Chengqian saw the expressions of these people and knew that he was shocked by his super luxurious reception room on the first floor.
You must know that this is designed according to the standard of receiving foreign guests, what you want is a noble and inviolable feeling, at this time Li Shimin simply likes this place very much, compared to his Taiji Hall here are simply two different styles, it can be described as luxurious and low-key, noble and friendly.
"Qian'er, this first floor should have cost a lot of silver."
Li Shimin asked suddenly.
Li Chengqian attracted a lot of attention today, and he was a little drifting, and immediately responded: "I don't have much money back to my father, and the overall investment is less than two million yuan." ” "What" Li Shimin was shocked.
"Two million, how can you have so much money."
Li Shimin asked, you must know that even if he is the emperor, he does not have so much money in his private treasury, but he didn't expect his ten-year-old son to have more money than him, does this make sense.
"Two million is very much, the child thinks it's okay, if the father likes it, he can come here often, this reception room can meet the daily office of the father, and there is a duplex villa for resting in the back."
Li Chengqian said casually.
It was so bland that Li Shimin's eyelids jumped, the thing he wanted to know most now was how could his son have so much money, and he didn't care about two million yuan, and then he looked at him, the emperor, who deliberately made trouble with Yuan Shan for one million yuan, and let Yuan Shan invest in it.
"Eh, I didn't expect Qian'er to be so generous, is it easy to make money."
Li Shimin asked, this is what he wants to know.
"Making money is naturally not allowed, but the way the child uses is to learn from Yuanshan, every investment is planned, not any business can make money, at present, the main industry of the child is iron ore production, as well as Chengdu's grain and cotton industry have a lot of income, the first floor is now completely profitable, and then there are some small investments that are not worth mentioning every month to earn a thousand eight hundred, not on the table."
Li Chengqian said casually.
Li Shimin was a little confused immediately after hearing this, he didn't expect his son's financial resources to be so amazing, he couldn't help but think about his treasury, why is the gap so big, he originally looked at the extremely luxurious decoration on the first floor and wanted to reprimand, but now he doesn't have this confidence.
Maybe Li Chengqian saw that his father's expression was unnatural, and immediately explained: "Father, in fact, the child thinks that the money is dead when it is placed in the treasury, and it has no effect except for a quantity, so it is better to let the money circulate, so the child did a little business, but he didn't expect to make more and more money, and it also helped the people of Datang to provide a lot of employment opportunities, in fact, the people of Datang are easy to be satisfied, and they can even be satisfied as long as they have a mouthful of food.
In Erchen's industry, the 100 monthly wages are the same as those of normal employees in Chang'an, which can not only feed them, but also allow them to live without farming. ” "Oh, if there is such a thing, then tell me how the people can live without farming."
Li Shimin asked curiously.
"In fact, it's very simple, although the people have land, but to put it bluntly, they still rely on the sky to eat, in case of a disaster year and a famine year, wouldn't they not be able to receive food, in that case, they won't have money to survive, but if they work to make money, it's different, even if they have money, they can rely on the money in their hands to buy food, as for food, it is impossible for all places in Datang to encounter disasters, and after the development of freight to various state capitals, there is still a shortage of food, so as long as there is a job, there will be no starvation, will be able to survive.
Li Chengqian explained.
"Who said that?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Yuan Shan."
Li Chengqian said immediately.
