Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 774 The Fourth Railway

in the afternoon.

When Zhu Song entered the palace, he went to Zhu Xuan immediately and asked: "Your Highness, where is King Wu? I heard that Your Highness finally has a son. He rushed back from other places without stopping. He came into the palace before he even returned home. .”

Zhu Xuan had no choice but to go out to greet him, asked Zhu Song to find a place to sit down, and said, "Uncle Twenty, Wen Gui is still a child and has a lot of sleep. He is asleep now."

"If you fall asleep, I won't disturb Little King Wu."

As he spoke, Zhu Song took out a piece of warm jade pendant from his body and said with a smile: "As an elder, how could I not express my gratitude? This is for the child. Your Highness accepts it on behalf of the child. You must remember to return it in the future."

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the boss of a state-owned enterprise in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Song believed that it was still necessary to hug him and continue to consolidate his relationship with Zhu Xuan. Whether he would live well in the future would all depend on Zhu Xuan and his son.

They, the King of Han, will still have to look at the current Zhu Wengui’s face decades later.

The relationship must be maintained well so that there will be no worries in the future.

"Is it the jade pendant again?"

Zhu Xuan picked it up and looked at it and said: "Li Jinglong gave me a jade pendant, and my twentieth uncle also gave me jade pendants. Many of the gifts sent by ministers were also jade. There are so many jade pendants in the East Palace that I can't even put them down."

Jade is a good thing to use as a gift.

Not only for children, but also for the elderly and women. Moreover, for children, it is a gentleman, gentle as jade, and has a beautiful meaning.

Because of this, although Wen Gui is still young, he has received countless jades and will definitely wear them all in the future, but Zhu Xuan still accepted them.

"The gifts given by others are definitely different from those given by our own relatives."

Zhu Song laughed and said: "My piece of jade came back from Kunlun Mountain. It is definitely better than the others. It is most suitable for the little King of Wu. He is a humble gentleman and as gentle as jade."

Zhu Xuan would not be polite to Zhu Song, a rich man, and he also knew that the gifts Zhu Song gave would definitely not be cheap. He asked, "Uncle Twenty came back from other places. Did he open up any new markets?"

Nowadays, the scale of development of Ming Dynasty's government-run state-owned enterprises is getting larger and larger. Many businesses suitable for official intervention have been involved. In addition to benefiting the people, they can also increase revenue for Ming Dynasty's finances. They will not compete with the people for profits. Business is now booming.

But their government-run business also needs to continue to explore new markets in order to do better business.

"Yes!"

Zhu Song nodded and said: "Your Highness, although I seem to be very prosperous, there are a lot of things to do behind the scenes, but... as long as I can make a lot of money, it doesn't matter if I work a little harder."

After a pause, he asked again: "Your Highness has not checked the account for a long time. Do you want to check again?"

When we first started working together, Zhu Xuan did a lot of checking on things like checking accounts.

But now I am busy with my affairs and have more things to do, so I am too lazy to check again.

"Forget it, I believe Uncle Twenty."

Zhu Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "However, I am planning a fourth railway. Do you want Uncle Twenty to give me some indication?"

The cost of building a railway is huge.

However, it's not that Zhu Song can't afford it. If he gives a little privately and a little more from government profits, he can build a few more railways.

The profits from Ming Dynasty's official business were originally used for Ming Dynasty's infrastructure.

It is used to benefit the people.

Zhu Xuan has the power to allocate all the income generated by the official business.

"Of course it's no problem. How do you get to your highness's railway?"

Zhu Song agreed and asked again.

Zhu Xuan asked Hou Xian to bring a map, spread it out in front of Zhu Song, and said: "Starting from Yingtian Railway Station, going all the way to the west, passing through Jiangxi and Huguang, according to my idea, it will be built directly to Sichuan, but... The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky."

It is indeed difficult to build railways into Sichuan and Sichuan. First of all, the terrain problem is difficult to solve. The Ming Dynasty had partially mastered the tunneling technology, but it was not masterful. In current railway construction, high mountains must be bypassed, but the road to Sichuan cannot be bypassed. open.

The railway to Sichuan must have a lot of long tunnels to dig. The technology is not very proficient, and there is no large-scale machinery support. It all depends on manual digging. How long will it take to dig?
  Zhu Song thought for a while and said: "It is indeed difficult to enter Sichuan, but we can put it aside and build it to the end of Huguang first, and then build it in when conditions permit. Leave all this railway to me. Your Highness will provide the people and technology. I will do it." money."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "This is what Uncle Twenty said, so I'll leave everything to you."

"That's for sure, I'm totally fine!"

Zhu Song patted his heart and promised, taking the railway into his own hands, and asked again: "When will the construction start?"

Zhu Xuan said: "I have sent people to survey and prepare to acquire land and appease the people. It will be next year at the earliest."

Construction will not start until next year, so Zhu Xuan has enough time to prepare, and it is even more guaranteed that he can take on this task.

Zhu Xuan originally wanted to pay for it himself. Now that Uncle Twenty is here, he wants to beat the local tycoon and save himself some money. He got this investment and promised that if there is profit from the railway operation in the future, he will share it with Zhu Song. Part of it and so on.

"The fourth railway of the Ming Dynasty has been confirmed."

Zhu Xuan said to himself.

The first one is of course built now, the second one goes to Guanzhong, the third one leads to Guangzhou, and the fourth one started to be surveyed. Zhu Xuan had to sigh that Ming Dynasty is developing faster and faster. Now, with more than ten Compared to a year ago, the changes have been earth-shaking.

“It’s better to develop faster.”

Zhu Xuan was thinking.

The history of humiliation hundreds of years later can be completely changed. Zhu Xuan is even thinking, should the Ming Dynasty fight out and colonize others? It seems like fun.

We will consider these later.

After seeing off Zhu Song, Zhu Xuan returned to Kunning Palace to accompany Mu Yuanjun and Zhu Wengui.

At this time, Wen Gui just woke up and cried "Wow" again. The cry was still loud and powerful.

"You brat, you're crying again and bullying your mother again."

Zhu Xuan took the child, patted his butt gently, and said: "Yuan Jun, you rest first, I will comfort Wen Gui."

Mu Yuanjun asked: "Wen Gui cried suddenly. Did he wet his pants?"

They looked and saw that he had peed his pants.

Zhu Xuan asked people at the factory to use various cottons and silks to make a soft and soft diaper for Wengui to use. Even if he wets his pants, he will not pee out. He has to open it to see. Boy replacement.

Next to him, Hou Xian and some other maids wanted to come over to help, but were pushed aside by Zhu Xuan.

"Stinky boy!"

After Zhu Xuan had changed, he saw Wen Gui looking at him cutely, lowered his head, kissed him, and said with a smile: "It turns out that raising children is still so hard."

Taking care of the children in the palace, there are a group of palace maids to help.

Zhu Xuan couldn't imagine how hard it would be if Zhu Xuan took care of him like this alone without any maids.

"It will be much better when the children grow up."

Mu Yuanjun looked on and couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Xuan said: "Not necessarily. When this little guy grows up, our pressure may be even greater."

They looked at each other and smiled.
