Chapter 27 Li Min is more difficult, Zhengde lives by virtue 5

The emperor's support for the construction of the railway will bring them great help.

After seeing off Xu Yongbao and others, Yisirbis was quite surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, have you never liked these merchants? Why today..."

Zhou Tunan smiled and said, "Who said I don't like them anymore! It's just that the so-called Shang people, the so-called capital is like the Yangtze River, which can nourish all things, irrigate the fields, and benefit the lives of the world.

But if these people are not restrained, it is like floods and harming endlessly. Therefore, these people must be restrained and used, so how can they stop eating because of choking?"

Ishilbeth asked again: "Your Majesty, what should be the war in Hualu? The Governor's Office of the Five Army has been in direct contact with the cabinet!"

Zhou Tunan smiled and said, "Let them go! The scale of the Battle of Hualu will not be too large. The Kingdom of Lihuaser is thousands of miles away from Middle-earth, and the military power that can be mobilized is limited.

In this battle, our Da Chu should not suffer any losses. It is not easy to win a big victory!

After all, the Great Chu in this world has already entered the capital industry era, even if the technical level is low. However, with its huge size, it is naturally the situation of the great powers.

It is an enhanced version of the Rakshasa Kingdom!

The Kingdom of Lihuaser wanted to start a war with Da Chu at the gate of Da Chu, and it was a dream to win.

However, the Great Chu Navy is weak, at most it is an existence fleet.

Therefore, if you can win the land battle, you dare not force the Kingdom of Lihuaser too much.

In the end, it is probably a small victory and peace dispute.

Since the cabinet and the Governor's Office of the Five Army wanted to bypass him, he naturally would not go and get disgusted.

However, it is possible to carry out a plan to tame the business capital that has been planned long ago...

In fact, the fastest way to achieve results is to seize power and quickly grasp the central and military power. Then, relying on administrative power and force, we will eat up these merchant capitals and transform them into state capital.

This path has many examples in previous lives, and there are many benefits.

The most important thing is that the country has the greatest resources, has unparalleled mobilization and social control.

However, this requires that the entire bureaucracy has extremely high ruling qualities, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the problem of various savings and inefficiency.

But with the current conditions of Da Chu, it is difficult to create such a relatively high-quality bureaucratic system.

At that time, the imperial government will have too much control, and all kinds of power will be powerful, corruption will be corruption, and the public will be resentful. The emperor, the top of the bureaucratic system, will be the first to be affected!

This is all we can only take another guide!

In the following days, the Kingdom of Dachu and Lihuaser went to war in Hualu.

Although the war between the two sides had some twists and turns, it was generally within Zhou Tunan's expectations.

Although the railway matter was agreed upon, Zhou Tunan remained silent.

Until August, large-scale floods occurred, which affected several provinces.

The emperor hurriedly summoned the cabinet to hold a meeting of the imperial court to discuss disaster relief.

The Hualu war is still ongoing. This is a battle abroad, and the daily spending of money is like flowing water.

At this time, disaster relief was needed, and the treasury was immediately in a hurry.

Someone in the cabinet proposed to issue bonds and treasury bonds...

This is not new in Dachu.

However, Zhou Tunan proposed to use labor instead of relief and proposed the construction of the railway by the Shikanshan Chamber of Commerce.

This matter did not use much treasury funds, but instead helped the cabinet a lot.

A hundreds of miles of railway from Shikan Mountain to the capital was built, with at least more than 100,000 workers.

Zhou Tunan was not involved in the matter of Hualu, and the cabinet and the Governor's Office of the Five Army owed Zhou Tunan some favors.

Coupled with the silver bullet attacks of Xu Yongbao and others, the final proposal was easily passed.

Zhou Tunan invested in the royal property and obtained 10% of the railway's income. He also received 10% of the dry shares given by Xu Yongbao and others, accounting for 20% of the railway shares in total.

Of course, we have to spend a lot of effort to stand up the Beijing-Shi Railway.

This can weaken the various dissatisfactions of the people along the way...

Of course, Zhou Tunan consumed not much reputation and resources in the name of disaster relief using labor for relief.

As the railway began construction, more than 100,000 victims were recruited to work on construction sites and used labor for relief.

In this era, there is no machinery, and almost all people need to rely on manual road construction and railroad tracks, and the entire construction period will last for about one and a half years.

It's enough to let these workers survive the famine and have more to spare!

Xu Yongbao and other Shikanshan merchants will pay more than 30 million taels of funds for the entire project.

Of course, it shouldn't be so much used.

Because the biggest consumption of the entire project - the steel used for building railways is produced by the steel factory in Shikanshan. It is just like paying the left hand to the right hand!

Think about it, in the era of pure farming, this super-large project that used more than 100,000 people and took one or two years to build would consume a great amount of energy on the dynasty. One bad thing is that the people are living in poverty and wars are everywhere.

However, today's Great Chu can complete this project without the court's attack and rely solely on private financial resources. You can imagine technological progress and promote the entire society and country.

At this time, after Zhou Tunan promoted this situation, he even felt a trace of real humanitarian power.

You should know that this is just an illusory interpretation of the world. Originally, whether it is wealth or power, it is just false.

But at this moment, Zhou Tunan felt a trace of real humanitarian power, which also shows that what he did was in line with the trend of humanitarian development.

This brings in from the real world with real human power.

So Zhou Tunan's energy surged, and suddenly increased by more than 300!

This time, while Ishilbeth was practicing, he went astray again and was injured. Although it was not too serious, he had just been lying in bed for a few days!

At the same time, Zhou Tunan also looked at the sky.

He could vaguely feel that as human energy penetrated, there were some familiar strange forces!

...

...

The moonlight is bright, and there are crowds gathering in Baihezhuang, with more than a few thousand.

There was a man with white cloth Baotou standing on a high platform built with loess and shouting loudly: "Those Shang tribes are determined to be desperate. What kind of railway is built to destroy our Feng Shui.

The railway passes through the mountains and is not only disturbing the dragon veins of the mountain. Some places also need to pass through the tomb of our ancestors.

God of Qi said that such things will disturb the souls of ancestors!

Do you agree or not?”

After all, most people in this era did not study and went to school, and were generally ignorant.

Although there is a fee for relocating the grave, when someone is incited, the crowd suddenly becomes excited and starts to clamor.

Someone asked to shout in the crowd: "We will never agree. We cannot let the railway disturb the gods or the ancestors!"

Gradually, the crowd gathered in a neat way: "We will never agree, we will never agree!"

The priests on the platform seemed satisfied, shouting to demolish the railway, and some people distributed sticks to the crowd, etc.

"God of the Confession bless me, I am invulnerable! Let's fight with those people. Demolition of all the railways!"

With the enthusiasm of the crowd, many people took the stick and weapons casually, and were passionate about their blood and wanted to follow the lead to attack the construction site.

On the platform, there was a statue of god flashing slightly!
