Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1621

Not to mention whether a single rail can work, a rail is also [-] miles long, and it has to bear the carriages and loads, so the iron cannot be too thin. How much money will it cost?

In the eyes of Li Shimin and the others, that is not a railway track, but countless silver coins!

Su Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where can one rail be? I want to lay four rails. Two rails are from Luoyang, Chang'an District, and two rails are from Luoyang Huichang'an."

Four rails to lay?
Li Shimin and a group of ministers were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that Su Cheng would lay four rails. The four rails would be [-] miles long!

Cheng Yaojin shouted: "Su Cheng, are you crazy? From Chang'an to Luoyang, the four rails are just to verify whether the steam car can run? You have money and nowhere to spend it?"

Li Shimin felt a little helpless: "Su Cheng, I know that you have a lot of business and can make a lot of money, but you can't waste it like this!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "I'm not doing this for experimentation. I'm pretty sure that steam cars can run very fast on the rails. Although laying the rails does cost a lot, it can also charge fares to make money, and it can also bring money to the people. Great convenience."

Li Shimin and the others were speechless after hearing this. Do they make money by collecting fares?Does Su Cheng, who has always been smart, sometimes act stupid?
"Do you know how much it costs to lay [-] miles of railroad tracks? You earn money by collecting fares, and you have to make money to get back your money?" Li Shimin said very speechlessly.

In fact, what he said was still polite. He felt that if Su Cheng really laid four railroad tracks, he would not be able to get back the cost even if he died.

Fang Xuanling, Li Ji and others all looked at Su Cheng as if they were looking at a fool. How could Su Cheng, who was always smart, suddenly become stupid?
Is it because the family has too much money and can't hold it, so they are so prodigal?

Yes, in their view, Su Cheng is a prodigal.

A group of old-fashioned people don't know the profit at all. Su Cheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in a word, you can agree or not."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You buy the land yourself, and you lay the railroad tracks yourself. Is there anything I won't allow?"

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty has agreed, then I will lay the railway track from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then I will charge for the operation. The emperor said that four horses are hard to catch. Since Your Majesty has agreed, you can't go back on your word. Otherwise, Your Majesty will directly say Will it?"

What kind of emperor's words are hard to follow, what kind of decree, why does it sound like there is a pit in it!Su Cheng actually hoped that he would make an order to finalize this matter.

Is there any pit in it?
Even if the steam car really runs fast on the rails, and can run from Chang'an to Luoyang in one day, how many people can it pull?How much can you pull?How much can you earn?
Compared to four rails that are [-] miles long, they are insignificant at all!

After hearing this, Empress Changsun said quickly: "What orders do you have to make? You can lay the rails wherever you want, and you can lay the rails whenever you want. Who can stop you? Let's not talk about it." Now that that’s over, let’s go back to the palace first.”

Empress Changsun felt that Su Cheng was young and energetic after all, and she managed to build a car that could run without pushing or pulling, but it was useless at all. Su Cheng must not accept the doubts of everyone, so she had to lay the car herself. Railroad, just want to prove yourself.

Therefore, she felt that he should be vague now, and then slowly persuade him. When he vented his energy, he would naturally turn around.

Then we can't let the emperor make a decree. Once this decree is made, the railway tracks must be paved, or they must be paved.

Although the young couple Su Cheng and Changle are indeed wealthy, she doesn't want to see the young couple spend so much money.

This can be said to have reached his heart, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Well, let's go back to the palace first!"

Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and the others didn't want to bring this up any more, and they tried to persuade Su Cheng after the preparation, so that Su Cheng must give up this idea.

Seeing Li Shimin turn around and leave, Su Cheng quit immediately, and quickly said: "Hey, Your Majesty speaks eloquently, but you can't count your words. Your Majesty must make an order!"

Li Shimin was walking in front, listening to Su Cheng's shout, he really wanted to give Su Cheng an order immediately and forget about it, why didn't this brat know good from bad?

Princess Changle actually didn't think it was necessary to lay railroad tracks, but seeing Su Cheng's insistence, she felt that if Langjun wanted to lay railroad tracks, he could just lay them down.

Shouldn't we just lay a few eight hundred-mile-long rails?Mr. Lang has created a huge family business, so why can't he be willful for a while?

The steam car can move by itself without pulling or pushing. Such a miraculous car should be seen by the world.

Princess Changle came to Su Cheng's side, held Su Cheng's hand, and said with relief: "Father has already agreed, so we won't regret it. We will buy land and lay railroad tracks when we go back. Although it will cost a lot, steam cars It’s so amazing, it’s time for the world to see the most amazing car in the world!”

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It will cost a lot, but I'm not just here to let the world see steam cars."

Princess Changle smiled and said, "I know, Mr. Lang thinks it's interesting, as long as he's happy."

These days, Su Cheng spends his time in the workshop. She has never seen Su Cheng pay so much attention to one thing. It can be seen that Su Cheng really thinks steam cars are very interesting. Therefore, even if it costs a lot, as long as Su Cheng is happy, Then she will support.

It turned out that Changle also felt that he wanted to lay the railroad tracks for his own interest. Su Cheng changed his smile and explained as he walked: "If you take a car from Chang'an to Luoyang, it will take many days to make a horse-drawn carriage, and you need fares, meals, and accommodation. Steam cars You can travel from Chang’an to Luoyang in one day, so I’ll charge [-] Wen for the fare, isn’t it too much?”

"Let's assume that a car can hold fifty people, that is five guan, if you pull 150 cars, that is 100 guan, ten trains a day, [-] trips back and forth on four rail tracks, three thousand guan a day, and a month. Ninety thousand guan, a year is [-] million guan!"

"It doesn't cost much to buy land. As for the rails, I know how to make steel, so it's not a big problem. How long will it take to pay back? Six months? One year? After that, I can earn 100 million rails every year..."

Princess Changle opened her mouth slightly and looked at Su Cheng with a dull face. This was completely different from what she thought. She thought that laying railroad tracks would cost a lot but would not make any money at all. When it comes to money, it is simply huge profits!
One million sticks a year!It only takes one year to pay back the capital, and you can earn 100 million guan every year in the future. This is simply a lucrative business.
