Datang Longya

Chapter 684 Divide the cake

Leng Feng returned home with his two children.

Liu Shuwen is instructing the maid to dry the quilt, so that the quilt will not be so humid in winter.

Seeing Leng Feng coming back, she couldn't help leaning over and asking, "Husband, what happened to you last night?"

Di Renjie and Wu Mei were still there, but Liu Shuwen could only ask half a sentence.

Leng Feng said helplessly: "She closed the door, so I can still rush in. It's alright, alright, go and make medicine for me."

There was still some medicine left by Sun Simiao, so Leng Feng decided to finish it.

As time passed day by day, except for the affairs of the Academy of Arts and Academy of Martial Arts, Leng Feng would not go out, and even ignored some activities hosted by the emperor.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Li Jing and others finally returned to Chang'an.

It was also on the day of their return that the war against the northeast was officially declared over.

Goryeo fell, and Shiwei fell, and the only lucky one was Mohe, whose emperor fled to the extreme northern permafrost.It was not suitable for troops to enter there, so Li Jing gave up the idea of ​​chasing him.

The victory this time was unprecedented, and the credit was so great that the Marquis directly gained five more.You know, the current title will never be given to others easily.
Tang Jin was awarded the title of son of Boling County and guerrilla general, and the scenery was infinite for a while.

After he got the title, he still kept a low profile. After returning to his hometown once, he returned to the border again.

From having nothing to becoming a knight, Tang Jin's achievements are all earned by himself.

After a carnival, everything returned to calm.

Li Jing no longer stays behind closed doors, but goes out to do errands generously, including bringing important gifts to Tianxia Manor, without hiding them.

"It is conceivable that the train freight industry will definitely make money, especially during the period of Chuli, when we participate in train freight, our family will have no worries for three generations!"

In the living room of Leng Mansion, all the generals gathered together.

Without exception, they all carried a large number of gifts, and each prepared a contract to withdraw money from the bank.

Although Leng Feng only said that he would take them to carry out train freight, they naturally knew to bring money to invest in shares.

After listening to Leng Feng's introduction, Li Jing decided that this was a profitable business.The most important thing is that this business is long-lasting, not only their generation can benefit.

After so many years in the officialdom, they should look away from everything.Although titles can be passed on to descendants, titles are not as real as official positions. Without their protection, descendants may not be able to gain a foothold in the court.

It's better to prepare the property, even if the children and grandchildren are prodigal, they can lose for a few more years.

Leng Feng pointed at the map with a bamboo pole and said: "Actually, the railway I built to connect the north and the south has another purpose. For example, I chose the grassland as the end of the railway in the north, and the Eastern Railway goes directly to Dengzhou. In this way, no matter if the grassland people invade, If it is the Japanese who invade, the army can go to the border as quickly as possible."

Li Jing measured it with a bamboo pole before saying: "I was wondering why your family built the railway, why you are so stupid to dig mountains when you encounter mountains, and fill ravines when you encounter ravines, so it turns out to be as straight as possible.

There is no problem with the route, the rest is the speed, the train you mentioned, is it really faster than the horse? "

Leng Feng shook his head: "In terms of speed, it can't surpass horses for the time being. At most, it can be at the same speed as a horse. However, it can ignore the terrain and never tire. From Chang'an to Luoyang, it's still no problem."

Seeing Li Jing frowning, Cheng Yaojin patted the table: "Okay, you are not satisfied with this speed, let alone, this speed is still pulling the army supplies."

Yu Chigong added: "Also, if the train is indeed made of steel, it will be a moving city wall."

Li Jing shook his head: "What I'm worried about now is not the train, but the profit. The train is fast and transports a lot of goods, and it does make money, but in this way, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous."

Leng Feng ordered Lao Li to prepare the banquet, and then said with a smile: "If you are hot-eyed, you should be hot-eyed. The steam engine was developed by the scientific research institute. Others can use it if they want to. Give the scientific research institute patent money. It's not much, only [-] silver coins."

Thirty thousand silver coins, that is equivalent to the previous thirty thousand coins.

Not everyone can afford it, and even if they can, the rails are a lot of money.

It is estimated that only Tianlou can afford such a business.

Cheng Yaojin took out a token and a contract from his pocket. With these two things, he could go to the bank to withdraw money.

"It's nothing to say, one hundred thousand silver coins, the old man wants [-]% shares."

Leng Feng stopped him and said, "One hundred thousand is too much, fifty thousand is enough."

Yu Chigong took out his token and contract: "Needless to say, we all know what you mean. It's nothing more than repaying our friendship for protecting the Leng family. Friendship is friendship, business is business, and we can't make you pay too much." More, let’s say [-], and I want [-]%.”

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "This is just right, we have five families, one family has [-]%, but the old man brought a little too much, the remaining fifty thousand silver coins, the old man wants to build a railway for Hejian County, haha."

After the completion of the construction of the two main railways, there must be a small line connecting other cities next, so Li Xiaogong pre-booked one.

The maid brought a baked cake, Leng Feng cut the cake into five pieces with a knife, and distributed them to Li Jing and the others.

Li Jing looked at the empty plate and asked, "Leng Feng, are you sure, the five of us will eat? Do you want to give the emperor a piece?"

Leng Feng knew what Li Jing meant, so he said, "Originally, I planned to divide the emperor's part, but only when we are full, it is suitable for the emperor, or the imperial court to help us digest."

The current railway construction is very important, Leng Feng does not want the imperial court to get involved.Because it turns out that as long as the court gets involved in many things, the progress will slow down.

It's better to let the eager court take over after they build the railway template.

Cheng Yaojin ate the cake, and said to Li Jing: "It's good to eat some, it's up to you to pick and choose, really."

At this time, Li Jing and others admired Leng Feng.

While they were still thinking about how to start a business, Leng Feng's big business had already started.

Greeting everyone to the dinner table, after drinking for three rounds, Li Xiaogong suddenly asked: "You want to build a railway, have you discussed it with the Ministry of Industry?"

"After discussion, they said that the railway is also a kind of road. Since the road is built, it is a good thing. I will occupy the barren mountains and mountains. As for the farmland and houses, I have to discuss it with the people myself, ha ha."

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly: "The Ministry of Industry is short-sighted, they thought you were simply doing good deeds! Haha."

Leng Feng couldn't help laughing too.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry were contacted by Lao Yuan, and he didn't even ask about the affairs between them. After knowing the result, he was dumbfounded.

In this way, for the construction of the railway, there are really only relocation and occupation fees and material and labor costs left.

Saved a ton of money.
