Chapter 312 312 Why Repair

Zhao Yuanle nodded affirmatively.

"It's about to go to war."

Ming Hong said, "Why?"

Zhao Yuanle: "Because you need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build the railway here.

These human and material resources are difficult to get back in a short time.

If you really want to develop this place, you can use the money to build the railway to get other things. It's not worth the trouble to build a railway.

After all, there is nothing to buy and sell, even if the road is repaired. "

Ming Hongyan nodded.

"Indeed."

Zhao Yuanle glanced at him, with deep anxiety in his eyes.

She continued.

"As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, the food and grass go first. Whenever there is a war, the logistics must be done well.

From Bailing County to the east, there is a piece of steep mountains. After entering, you will arrive at the area of ​​Rongcheng, which is a large plain with fertile land, second only to the southern water town that has always been very prosperous.

Going west from here, you can reach the big river that runs through half of the country, and there is a big ferry there.

The railway is built here to facilitate the transportation of grain from the east and send it to other parts of the country. "

Having said that, Zhao Yuanle paused, she and Ming Hongyan looked at each other, and spit out her conjecture.

"Railways can transport things, and they can also transport people."

Ming Hongyan laughed lightly.

"This is true."

Zhao Yuanle: "Horses and ox carts, or walking, people's speed is very slow, and you have to rest in the middle.

If there is a railway, people don't need to rest when they are on the road, and people from one side can be transported to that side very quickly. When they get there, it is more convenient to take a boat or other vehicles. "

While talking, Zhao Yuanle sighed.

"If it weren't for preparing for war, why would we spend so much energy on repairing the railway.

It's just to build a road for the convenience of transportation. Bailing County can't grab such a good thing. Even if you are a prince and recuperate here, you can't help the people here to grab such a good opportunity. "

So the answer is obvious.

It is a good thing to invest money in development, and it will be chosen here only because of a hard core reason.

Seeing that Zhao Yuanle had finished speaking, Ming Hongyan took a sip of tea and sighed lightly.

"Actually, it is not necessary to fight, but you have to be prepared first."

Zhao Yuanle: "Prepare?"

Ming Hong said: "Now it's different from before. If we want to fight, we mostly fight with Westerners, so the terrain and barriers in the north are not useful.

Because Westerners will fight from the sea.

If it is coming from the sea, the mountains of Rongcheng are a natural barrier, and here, it can also connect two other directions, radiating to the southwest. "

Zhao Yuanle couldn't help but interrupt Ming Hongyan's words.

"No, I hear your tone, how come it seems that you are ready to fail the defense?"

Ming Hongyan nodded lightly.

"That's right, this is making additional preparations, making preparations to defend and then counterattack when you can't win.

Of course, it may not be impossible to beat, and it may not be absolutely successful, but be prepared. "

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanle looked at Ming Hongyan curiously.

"You listened to what I said before, so you have this concern?"

Ming Hong shook his head.

"No, what you said is similar to this, but it cannot be regarded as a prophecy.

I only have this concern after seeing the actual situation at the moment. "

Zhao Yuanle couldn't help casting an appreciative look at Ming Hongyan.

"Still sober."

Ming Hongyan smiled faintly, but the corners of his eyes were deeply sad.

"The dynasties are constantly changing, and when each dynasty dies, the people who ruled at the top have been completely corrupted.

Long-term comfort always makes people lose their vigilance and become depraved, arrogant, and ignorant.Not even a few sane people can shake a whole block.

The Hua Dynasty lasted for more than [-] years, and there were only a few stubborn people.

Even if we have more powerful guns, more people and more money.

But in my heart, I am still very worried. "

He stretched out his fingers and touched his head.

"Even if a person is tall and strong, if there is something wrong with his brain, he still can't beat the thinner enemy on the opposite side.

Because, if there is something wrong with the brain, the hands and feet may be disobedient, hallucinations will appear in front of the eyes, and some unreal sounds will be heard in the ears, and even the nose cannot smell the moisture before the storm.

What's more, the enemy on the opposite side is not necessarily thin and thin. Even if they are thin, they may hold more powerful weapons in their hands, and no matter how strong their bodies are, they cannot resist in front of swords and guns. "

Zhao Yuanle naturally understood the meaning of Ming Hong's words.

"But it's useless to just build the railway. I heard from Yi Li that the technology for building the railway is someone else's, and the steel used is also from someone else. We can't make it ourselves."

Ming Hongyan also looked a little helpless.

"They're not happy to do that.

After all, satin tea and porcelain are enough for them to make money. "

Zhao Yuanle couldn't help but make suggestions.

"That can encourage them to do these things, give them tax cuts, invest money, relax conditions, and give them other benefits. As long as there are some earning, there will be no shortage of people who get into it."

Ming Hongyan couldn't help laughing.

"Although the idea is good, where is the money?"

Zhao Yuanle: "There is no money in the national treasury?"

Ming Hongyan nodded: "No money, President Huo Da is poor now."

Zhao Yuanle: "Huh?"

Ming Hong said: "The rich are private individuals, and the money is in their hands. It is difficult to get money from these people.

Even if they followed the rules and changed them to a more favorable one, they would always be the first to find loopholes. "

Zhao Yuanle couldn't help frowning.

"Then it can't be hard?"

Ming Hongyan glanced at Zhao Yuanle's frown, smiled lightly and shook his head.

"Could it be possible to kill people directly?"

Zhao Yuanle frowned in thought, and suddenly thought of something.

"Since the national treasury has no money and President Huo Da is so poor, where did the money for the railway construction come from?"

As he said that, Zhao Yuanle was very surprised, and looked at Ming Hong with emotion on his face: "This won't be your own money, will it? Your family is also so rich?"

Ming Hong was silent for a while.

After thinking about it, he spoke with a slightly teasing tone.

"Do you think everyone has a grandparent's family like Brother Chen's?"

Zhao Yuanle: "Where did the money come from?"

Ming Hongyan slightly raised one eyebrow.

"you guess."

Zhao Yuanle: "Could it be...they searched it from the big family in the county."

Ming Hong said, "Even if we force them to death, we won't be able to get the money to build the railway."

Zhao Yuanle: "Where did that come from? Could it be possible to borrow it?"

Just like a modern loan?
Unexpectedly, Ming Hongyan really nodded.

"Yes, borrowed."

Zhao Yuanle was very surprised.

"Who borrowed it from, and who will pay it back?"

Who can afford it?
Ming Hong said: "I borrowed it from the Xi's family. If I don't have the money to pay it back, I can pay it back with other things."

Then the question arises again, what to pay back.

Under Zhao Yuanle's gaze, Ming Hongyan took a sip of tea.
