Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1625 Cooperation
To lay railroad tracks, of course, it is necessary to design a route and buy all the land. However, Chang'an is only [-] miles away from Luoyang, and there is still a lot of wasteland along the road. Even if it is all fields, a few thousand acres of land is nothing.

To lay so many rails, it is of course more cost-effective to buy iron ore directly.

It is foreseeable that there will be more and more applications of steam engines in the future, which means that the worthless coal will definitely rise.

Not to mention rubber, many steam engines will be manufactured in the future, and a lot of rubber will definitely be used.

Princess Changle thought quickly, and said with a smile: "The other three are easy, but the rubber is a bit troublesome."

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said: "It's really a bit troublesome. Although Shengnan found rubber, it is too far away from Chang'an, and the forest is deep and dense. It is not easy to transport it to Datang. Although rubber trees can be planted in Yunnan, even if they are planted It will take ten or eight years before it can be used. Fortunately, not much rubber is used now, so it can be used.”

Princess Changle said with emotion: "The steam engine is so powerful, I really have to thank the Wang family sister."

Although she knew that Wang Shengnan found the rubber that Su Cheng wanted for Su Cheng, she didn't know that the steam engine was so powerful, that it could bring a lot of money, and that it was of great benefit to the court and the people.

The last time Wang Shengnan came to Sujiazhuang as a guest, he happily told her where he found the rubber tree, which made her feel particularly emotional.

This favor is really too great, how can I pay it off?
After hearing this, Su Cheng just smiled and didn't say anything. It's too extravagant to thank you.

After walking with Su Cheng for a while, Princess Changle remembered that the child was still in the Lizheng Hall, so she hurried back to the Lizheng Hall to pick up the child.

Su Cheng leisurely walked towards the outside of the palace gate, when suddenly he heard hurried footsteps coming from behind, Su Cheng looked back, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and Changsun Wuji were striding towards them, there was someone behind him. The tiger is chasing the same.

"Why do you walk so fast, kid? Don't you know how to wait for the old man?" Cheng Yaojin yelled.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "What? What's the matter, uncle?"

Cheng Yaojin coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing special. Well, it costs a lot to lay railroad tracks. Not to mention the cost of railroad tracks, just buying land is not a small sum. It's quite difficult..."

Before Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Su Cheng shook his head and said: "I don't feel embarrassed, the women in the family are not ruined, and they have accumulated so much after returning from the expedition for a year, and they have made the bank's business so prosperous , Alas, the embarrassing thing for me is that the money can’t be spent!”

Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and Changsun Wuji were speechless after hearing this. Although what you said is true, are you really not afraid of being beaten?

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "You need a lot of iron to lay railroad tracks. Although you have a lot of money, it's not easy for you to buy that much iron. Some of the iron mines in the world are in the hands of the imperial court. A large part is in the hands of Wu Xing Qiwang."

"The iron produced by the imperial court every year is barely enough. The five surnames and Qiwang have always eaten people as much as bones. The old man also has a lot of iron ore. You and I are relatives by marriage, but we might as well work together to build the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang. "

Su Cheng thought for a while, then nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's work together."

Li Ji said with a smile: "If the railway is built, it will definitely use a lot of coal. I happen to have a few barren hills, all of which are buried with coal. I thought it would be useless, but now it seems that it is of some use. Why don't you just add the old man."

Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, easy to talk about!"

It's okay to give Changsun Wuji and Li Ji a role, and you can resist the risk together by pulling people together. Although Su Cheng is not afraid that someone will take advantage of the Su family, but what about in the future?Who can guarantee that there will be no future?

Seeing that Su Cheng agreed to give Li Ji and Changsun Wuji members so happily, Cheng Yaojin became anxious immediately.

Although it is impossible for Su Cheng to give Li Ji and Changsun Wuji too many shares, it is also a good industry that can be passed on.

Changsun Wuji has iron mines, Li Ji has coal mines, but Cheng Yaojin has nothing.

Cheng Yaojin quickly said: "If you want to build a railway, you have to sell the land. Some land is easy to buy, but some people may not be willing to sell it. It is still a bit troublesome."

"You are so busy, how can you have time to deal with such trivial matters, and the princess is not easy to condescend to show her face, so let the old man buy the land."

Cheng Yao's big eyes like gold and copper bells were full of anticipation, Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "Okay."

Hearing that Su Cheng agreed so happily, Cheng Yaojin patted Su Cheng's shoulder excitedly, and said with a smile, "Boy Su, you're so kind!"

The reason why Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, and Cheng Yaojin chased after them was because they knew in their hearts that His Majesty was very strict in control and would never allow private railway construction in the future.

Therefore, the Chang'an-Luoyang railway built by Su Cheng is likely to be the only privately built railway.

As for the profit of the railway, Su Cheng has already analyzed it, and they have thought it through. As long as the railway is built, they will be able to make a lot of money and count the money every year.

It is precisely because of this that they are eager to occupy some shares first, and they don't need to occupy more, and being able to occupy a little bit is also a guarantee for future generations.

Moreover, they felt that although Su Cheng had the financial resources to complete it alone, the construction of two [-]-mile-long railways would require a lot of trouble and it would not be easy to complete, so Su Cheng also needed their help.

Su Cheng's current limelight is the same for a while, but after decades or even a hundred years, when the throne changes and the world changes, the Rongguo Duke's Mansion may not still have the current holy family and status at that time.

If the railway is completely in the hands of Duke Rong, it will be coveted instead.

Su Cheng, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Ji were discussing the construction of the railway while walking outside the palace.

In fact, Su Cheng was not without emotion. Steam cars and railways are new things. He also said in the Liangyi Hall just now that they still have to experiment.

Although he knew that this would definitely happen, for Cheng Yaojin and the others, they just listened to his verbal description.

In the end, they actually believed him so much that they immediately took out a large sum of money to invest in the stock.

Cheng Yaojin and the others really don't know anything about steam engine railways, but they do know one thing, as long as Su Cheng wants to do, there is nothing he can't do.No matter how incredible it is, Su Cheng has done it, not to mention that they think it is very reliable.

Such a promising business, if you don't get involved now, you will definitely regret it in the future, and your children and grandchildren will regret it.
