Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 971

For a few years, Liu Mu couldn't answer this question.

But Li Yuan said: "What I want to say is that the people who build the railway are going out for the sake of people. In Chang'an, they only earn tens of thousands of dollars a year. If they can make millions of dollars in Liaodong, people will flock to Liaodong."

Fang Xuanling added: "The railway is the guarantee, the guarantee of expanding the land."

"Cultivated to Liaodong, the money spent is estimated to pile up into a mountain. Three cylinders, mine!" Liu Mu slowly picked up the three cylinders that Fang Xuanling played just now, and pushed down his own cards: "Give me the money."

Li Yuan stared at the cards for a long time, then looked at his own cards, and suddenly found that the two cards he wanted were Liu Mu's pair and Fang Xuanling's pair.

Before Li Yuan complained a few words, Cui Junsu said when he paid the money: "In fact, the Ministry of Household Affairs has secretly calculated that if the railway from Chang'an to Shuozhou is opened to traffic, it will increase the treasury revenue by at least 300 million yuan a year. The term that was invented, gross national product, can be estimated to reach an output value of [-] million yuan."

Li Yuan also asked the second question. The railway issue is indeed a big deal at the moment. Li Yuan asked, "Then why does the Ministry of Households repeatedly prevent the construction of the railway?"

"Poor, the household department is too poor. In the past three years, the household department gritted its teeth and saved some money, and ignored the opposition of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and forcibly expanded the Fukuoka Steel Works and Xingzhou Steel Works. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, especially the Ministry of Industry, have very strong opinions on this matter."

Cui Junsu said that if he was poor, if Heraclius were here, he would definitely cry.

Datang's treasury's annual income has exceeded 9000 million guan, that is, 9000 million Roman gold coins, and it is heading towards the figure of [-] million.

The Shangshu Province, the cabinet, and the six ministries of the Tang Dynasty are all confident that the treasury revenue will exceed [-] million in the new year, which is a very great figure.

With more money, there are more places to spend it, so Cui Junsu is crying poor.

Li Yuan asked again: "Where did the steel from the two workshops go?"

"The steel in Fukuoka, except for Fusang Road's own use, was all turned into ordnance and shipped to the Mediterranean Sea for gold coins or valuable goods. One-third of the steel in Xingzhou Steel Square was also converted into ordnance and shipped to the Mediterranean, and the rest People have been hoarding, and what they are hoarding is three feet and one stone, and each heavy rail is three feet long."

"Ah!" Liu Mu was shocked.

Fang Xuanling's expression was indifferent, it was obvious that Fang Xuanling knew about these railroad tracks.

Li Yuan was very surprised: "Could it be?"

"Your Majesty, the sage knows that the Xingzhou workshop produces rails, but the sage doesn't know the output, nor does he know the inventory. There are a total of seven people who knew about this before, and it was Zuo Servant Xiao Yu who proposed this matter."

"Supernatural power, it's him!" Li Yuan was surprised.

Fang Xuanling pointed to Liu Mu: "Liu's son-in-law actually knows about this, and the giant steam forging machine in Xingzhou Steel Workshop was mainly made by Huayuan Workshop, and Huayuan Workshop sent [-] excellent craftsmen I went to Xingzhou Workshop to help build it. When Xiao announced his old age, he wanted to report this to the saint."

"The results of it?"

"It turned out that Concubine Liu's concubine, Mrs. Xiao, found out about this at home, and then told Princess Changping, and Princess Changping told the queen, and the queen found me and the seven others and asked to keep it secret. The railway has arrived..." Fang Xuanling stopped, it was wrong for a courtier to evaluate the emperor, let alone a bad one.

Li Yuan understood: "I know, Erlang was a little dizzy about the railway at that time."

Others didn't dare to say it, but Liu Mu dared, Liu Mu said: "It's because of fanaticism that I lost my mind."

Both Fang Xuanling and Cui Junsu nodded, and Fang Xuanling continued: "It is the Queen who asked us to dissuade us, while slowly preparing some important materials and saving some coins for the construction of the railway. We must not hurt everyone because of the railway." The foundation of the Tang Dynasty, the empress said, the merits of building the canal in the former Sui Dynasty are in the future, and the crime is in the present, the Tang Dynasty cannot make mistakes again, the saint has not been on the throne for long, please be more careful, if the saint is angry, the empress said that everything is due to her. "

"The Empress!"

As Li Yuan is the Supreme Emperor, these two words are enough to make the eldest grandson Wugou's name go down in history.

Only then did Liu Mu pat his head: "I seem to have heard the wind."

"These are not important. The important thing is. Datang can build railways, and the total length of the remaining heavy rails is two thousand miles. Then, according to the plan, the section from Chang'an to Luoyang must be enough to build. But right now, there is no A really suitable host does not have enough labor, and the money is still short."

"Money is not a problem. Li Daozong told me that I have three ships of gold and eleven ships of silver. Half of them go to Shen Cewei and Donghai Navy, [-]% go to the General Ship Division, [-]% go to the slave army, and [-]% go to the Ministry of War."

Liu Mu used boats to calculate gold, which is very domineering.

Cui Junsu asked: "What kind of ship?"

"It seems to be installed in the No. [-] armed cargo ship in the third year of Zhenguan. I forgot that No. [-] is...

Before Liu Mu could finish speaking, Cui Junsu said: "In the third year of Zhenguan, there are four types of armed cargo ships that have been launched into the water. Among them, No. [-] and No. [-] are offshore armed cargo ships, and they can't even go to Qiandao Road. No. [-] and No. [-] are ocean-going ships. Armed cargo ships, of which No. [-] is a [-]-material reload, and No. [-] is a [-]-material high-speed armed cargo ship."

"I didn't expect Cui Shangshu to remember it so clearly."

"Records are sent to Chang'an every year. The armed cargo ships launched last year no longer build the four specifications of the third year of Zhenguan. The latest six types are used. The largest is 24 materials and reloaded, and the fastest is 220 high-speed armed cargo ships, the strongest firepower is [-] materials with [-] gun positions and [-] sailors armed cargo ships."

Liu Mu smiled embarrassingly, he had these data, and he had a report here, but he didn't read it.

Li Yuan gave Liu Mu a step down: "Mu, then three boats of gold are worth a lot!"

Without waiting for Liu Mu to speak, Cui Junsu said: "I estimate that the ocean voyages also carry gold, so they must be reloaded, that is, at least twelve small general cannons are installed, the sailors must be full, and the supplies must be full. Then put gold in the spare space, and a ship can hold up to 120 million taels of gold."

"hey-hey!"

Liu Mu laughed dryly twice.

Li Yuan also laughed: "It seems that the guess is not too far off?"

Fang Xuanling and Cui Junsu laughed along with them.

"So how much is the difference?"

After Li Yuan asked again, Liu Mu answered the specific numbers:
"Eight hundred stones, that's exactly the number. Zero deviation, because I asked for this batch of gold to be melted into a catty of gold ingots, then packed into wooden boxes and neatly placed in the boat, and then required the highest standard of guards. Three years of Zhenguan three years The ocean-going heavy cargo ship No. [-] is the best in quality, and now we are waiting for Huang’s financial situation and the ship’s refurbishment to be completed, and then it will be shipped from the port of Mogadishu.”
