Destiny Only Han

Chapter 626 Liu Ying: Thanks to the boss for the four tons of horseshoe gold... (It's the last day, ask for a monthly pass!

Six counties, Huainan Palace.

Cocktails were mixed, singing and dancing were performed, and it was the dancers Yingbu had collected from all over the world who were performing dances to Liu Bang and others.

When Yingbu ran away, he was in a hurry. He just took away the hard currency such as gold in the treasury, and kept all the treasures that were not easy to convert, such as coral, agate, and Hetian jade. Naturally, I didn't have time to take it away...

So, this is cheaper for Liu Bang.

Those floating fortunes Liu Bang intends to use to reward meritorious soldiers. As for the dancers who are performing dances at the moment, he plans to pick some good singing and dancing troupes to enrich the palace. Although they will not use them to warm the bed, it is still enough to watch singing and dancing in their spare time pleasing to the eye.

Well, in Liu Ying's malicious speculation, the old guy's designation is not enough...

But the most eye-catching thing in the temple today is not the singing and dancing, but a human head placed in a wooden box.

Yingbo's head!
This is a gift from Changsha King Wu Chen who went over the mountain overnight. As for Yingbo's other belongings, Liu Ying took advantage of Liu Bang and others to inspect the head, visit Yingbo's treasure house and "talent pool" The things Wu Chen sent were quietly moved to the other side...

Therefore, now in an unknown side hall of the Huainan Palace, Liu Ying is crackling and calculating, constantly summing up the numbers reported.

Around him, the exquisitely shaped and golden horseshoe gold was piled up like garbage, and several servants on the other side were sweating profusely, and hurriedly took out the gold from the big box, and then weighed it on the scale.

There is no way, there is too much gold, and the scale is too small, so it can only be weighed a little bit.

After a while, Liu Ying looked at the summed up figures. Although she was shocked in her heart, she said without changing her face:
"Well, it's not bad. I didn't expect Yingbo to be so rich... No, how many people's fat and anointing did he plunder!"

Wu Chen leaned over to take a look, then took a deep breath: "[-] catties? So much?"

Well, the Huainan Kingdom still uses the Qin system of weights and measures, [-] jin is [-] kilograms, or four tons. Considering that these horseshoe golds are not pure gold, there are at least two tons of pure gold!
After all, the density of gold is actually very high. The volume of a ton of gold is only about 0.05 cubic meters, which is the size of a microwave oven...

At this moment, Wu Chen began to regret that he shouldn't have listened to Li Cang's words and sent all Yingbu's belongings intact to Liuxian, at least opened them first, and then quietly drifted away...

It is no exaggeration to say that he, the king of Changsha, has been saving for 20 years without eating or drinking, and he may not be able to save so much money!

Well, that was in the past, and now Changsha has undertaken some labor-intensive industries with high pollution and high water consumption. As a result, the income of the people has increased, the number of newborns has steadily increased, and the amount of poll tax will gradually increase.

So although Wu Chen was so distressed that he was about to bleed, he still forced his eyes away from the gold horseshoe, and tried his best to look like he regarded money as dung.

Liu Ying didn't bother to pretend at all, he waved his hand to repel the servants, and then lay straight in the gold horseshoe, flapping his hands and legs a few times, enjoying the joy of swimming in the gold, being submerged in the gold, and being at a loss...

"Look at your worthless appearance!"

Zhang Buyi curled his lips, but seeing Liu Ying's happy and happy expression, he finally couldn't hold it back, and fell into the pile of gold horseshoes, thumping a few times imitating the example.

"Hey, don't talk about it, even though it's a pain in the ass, but the pain is very comfortable..."

"Nonsense, isn't it, this is gold! Well, roll up your sleeves, don't abduct my little cutie!"

Liu Ying looked contemptuous, staring at Zhang Buyi's every move like a thief, which made Wu Chen, who was standing aside reservedly, find it funny.

Based on his understanding, Liu Ying's net worth is far more than these gold, but he did not expect to make such a 'gaffe'...

Zhang Buyi lay down for a while, tilted his head and looked at Liu Ying and asked, "What are you going to do with the gold, transport it all back to Guanzhong, and hide it in the vault of the East Palace?"

Liu Ying nodded: "Of course. But this is in my hands once, and then it will be spent soon..."

"So much money? Spend it soon?" Zhang Buyi turned pale with shock, his eyes widened: "No wonder everyone in Zhiyang and others say you are a prodigal, as expected!"

Liu Ying puffed her cheeks invisibly, and decided that when she saw little Loli next time, she would definitely throw her on the ground!
As for the other one, it's my own wife anyway, and there are plenty of opportunities to stab her hard!
To redeem his reputation, he explained:
"It's not my teacher, he insisted that the railway I built was not built for the country, but for my own industrial park, so I don't want to allocate funds from the state treasury, and I need to pay for it myself..."

"Well, that's fine, we paid the money for the railway repairs in the early stage, then even if the country wants to use it later, we have to give us the money!"

Zhang Buyi waved his hands in a hurry: "Don't let us, it's scary! The cost of one kilometer of your railway is 20 yuan. If I were Xiao Xiang, I wouldn't give you the money!"

"This is already the lowest cost, okay!" Liu Ying said with an aggrieved expression: "Although the money for our land acquisition is negligible, don't artificial sleepers count as money? Also, I haven't actually counted it yet. The money for building locomotives and other corresponding supporting facilities!"

Well, the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, that is, the railway that Zhan Tianyou presided over and was in charge of, cost 700 million taels of silver. Although it does not sound like much, it actually accounted for about one-tenth of the national fiscal revenue at that time. It's also an expensive batch...

So when Xiao He heard Liu Ying say how much it would cost to build a railway from Jiuyuan County to Guanzhong, he immediately kicked him out, and refused his several visits on the grounds that he was too old to hear. ...

And Liu Ying also suffered setbacks in other financing channels one after another. Although he tried his best to make big cakes for everyone, in addition to selling thousands of unregistered bonds, and Lu Zhi's superstitious belief that he would be able to fulfill his promise, he supported him a few times. Apart from the thousand gold, all that was left was the little Lolita who acted like a meat bun beating a dog and threw him a little pocket money...

Well, what moved Liu Ying was that after hearing about it, Dou Yifang packed and sent over the private money she had saved over the years...

Although the process was very difficult, only Liu Ying knew that the big cakes he drew were actually not big. On the contrary, in order not to scare them, he even made them smaller on purpose.

For example, the Zhengtai (?) Railway built by the Qing government in 1904, that is, the railway from Zhengding, Hebei to Taiyuan, Shanxi, has a total length of 243 kilometers, 35 stations, 23 tunnels, and more than 1200 large and small bridges. The total cost is 4000 million francs, approximately equal to more than 1300 million silver dollars.

Then, according to the statistics of the people at the time, in the 20s, except for wars and famines, as long as the Zhengtai Railway maintained normal operation, it could realize a profit of more than 200 million silver dollars a year, and at most it could reach 300 million silver dollars!
Even after "September 200th", when North China became a pot of porridge and merchants in Shanxi were greatly reduced, Zhengtai Railway also had a profit of [-] million silver dollars every year!

The speed of payback is terrifying!
Therefore, the golden ten thousand taels when the train rings is really not just a casual talk. Even the feudal superstition such as the Qing government, after seeing the huge wealth that can be obtained by building railways, began to build railways frantically, and even came up with The move to nationalize the railways.

Then, there was the road protection movement...

Of course, this is a self-inflicted coquettish operation by the Qing government...

Now that Liu Ying has obtained four tons of horseshoe gold out of thin air, the construction of the more than 700-kilometer Jiuchang (Jiuyuan City to Chang'an) railway will be more affluent. Now he is thinking about whether to invest more and spend a lot of money The supporting facilities that will be launched later will also be repaired.

Prodigal son (strike out)...

Rich and willful!
..........................................

Huainan Palace, Yin'an Hall.

Well, this was Liu Ying's suggestion to Shusun Tong, who was formulating the etiquette of princes at that time. The main hall of the vassal king's palace was uniformly named Yin'an Hall, which was seven rooms wide, which was different from the nine rooms wide of the emperor's residence in Zhou Li.

After Liu Ying properly arranged the ignorant gold, she led Zhang Buyi and Wu Chen to the banquet here.

Although Liu Bang was very curious about his little boy's sneakiness before, but he had more important things to do at that time, so he forcibly suppressed his curiosity and did not follow.

Now, looking at Liu Ying's expression, he knew that there was a high probability that he would become a permanent fan, so he scratched his heart and lungs...

"Hey, why are you still here? Bad luck is not bad luck!"

Liu Ying pointed at the wooden box containing Yingbu's head with a look of disgust, and hurriedly beckoned for someone to take it out of the Yin'an Hall.

Sleepy-eyed Zhang Liang nodded to him, motioned him to sit beside him, and then said in a low voice, "You were not here before, and His Majesty asked how to deal with Huainan Kingdom, whether it should be placed by the counties or counties or remain as a feudal kingdom... What do you think? ?”

Liu Ying glanced at Liu Bang, who was pouring wine into Fan Kuai's mouth, but kept looking at him, and said in silence for a while, "What's my father's opinion?"

Zhang Liang didn't respond positively, but just said with a smile: "What do you think?"

The corner of Liu Ying's mouth slightly raised: "According to my father's character, it is natural that he will still be a feudal country. Teacher, you might as well just tell me which brother of mine is so lucky to get this Huainan country, which is as rich as Qi!"

Zhang Liang laughed, and then said in a voice that could only be heard by him and Liu Ying:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty's heart is always with you... Huainan Kingdom will be divided into three parts, Young Master will be King of Hengshan, Young Master You will be King of Lujiang. As for the most affluent Jiujiang County, it will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Han Court!"

"Well, by the way, before His Majesty got drunk, he ordered the King of Chu to lead the Chu army to go south, with the Eastern Ou Army as the forerunner, to question the King of Minyue..."
