If someone else says these words.

You may still think it is unreliable.

But Zhang Jingyi is famous for making money well.

Otherwise, where did his family’s wealth come from?

The Zhang family's business has been very prosperous.

As for lying people... it is impossible. Zhang Jingyi can deceive everyone. This is certain, but... he dares to deceive His Majesty?

Emperor Aoki obviously became interested and whispered: "The railway company... why do you need to build a company? What are the benefits of the company?"

"Fundraising!" Zhang Jing said: "It's okay to build a few railways by your Majesty and me alone, but we need to build a railway quickly, especially to connect the railways into a network, and to make a fortune. When will we have to wait? What we need now... is to try our best to raise funds, and then... according to the model of the East India Company, start building several railways, and go hand in hand. As long as it is repaired, your Majesty, you can wait, you have to lie down and eat."

Emperor Tianqi became more and more moved, so he said, "Wait, I think I still have to calculate and see how much goods I can transport in one day...but it is better to build that railway first."

"I mean, first build the railway from here to Tianjin Wei. The capital connects Tianjin Wei. This Tianjin Wei has a port and a hub of the canal. In this way, the trinity can be integrated. This railway will ensure that it can enter the golden bucket every day. In addition... I think... I can give it a try, from Lushun to Beijing."

When Emperor Tianqi became interested, he said excitedly: "I understand from Tianjin Wei, but why did it start from Lushun again?"

Zhang Jingyi patiently analyzed: "From Lushun to Beijing, you can pass Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places all the way... Most of the roads are plains, and there is no need to open mountains and bridges. In terms of engineering, there is no obstacle. In Liaodong, there is a large amount of fur and medicinal materials, which are specialties. Not only that, in the future, large-scale planting of rye, grain and agricultural products, as well as medicinal materials, fur, and cattle and horses, can we continue to send to the capital? A large number of goods from the capital can also be transported to Liaodong!"

"In addition, Lushun is across the sea from North Korea and Japan. There is a big port there, and goods can be sent there for trafficking, and there are also places in the far north. I heard that there are also a lot of minerals. If you build it here, it will be easier to continue to extend it."

"In addition, the land in Liaodong... does not require expropriation, just where it is planned and where it is built. Unlike the Central Plains, there are bandits, and many of them have masters. They have been expropriated one by one. Before the railway is built, they are exhausted. I don't know when it will be delayed!"

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt energetic and couldn't help but say excitedly: "What your family said is very reasonable, so let's decide first! Create these two firsts first, among which the Tianjin Wei to Beijing is the most important thing, and we must hurry up. Let's go build a company, sell stocks, and then... we will pay dividends based on the amount of stocks and the profits."

"To be honest, I don't have silver, but this silver... is piled in the warehouse, and I actually feel sorry for me. Is it still silver? If I don't take it out and earn some benefits, the silver price has been falling over the years. According to my opinion... well... let's do it. This time I am willing to take out the silver."

Zhang Jingyi raised his thumbs up: "Your Majesty, wait for money, then... I will teach this railway..."

The words behind were vaguely unaware of them.

Many people listened speechlessly as Zhang Jingyi's voice began to get lower and lower.

They looked at each other for a moment.

Judging from the facial expression of Emperor Apocalypse, it is obvious... His Majesty seems to have picked up money.

So many people began to have thoughts.

Of course, although there are thoughts, many people still have no trouble on the surface.

Emperor Tianqi asked the craftsman to take the drawings of the steam engine. After he looked carefully, he realized that this was an efficient boiler. Emperor Tianqi obviously became interested in it, so he said to Zhang Jing: "Come to me, I will take it back to the palace to think about it."

Zhang Jingyi felt relieved at this moment.

The reason why he created such a big battle today is actually... because he has to do two huge things.

The first thing is of course financing. The more money you raise, the better.

All things in the world have been made of money. If the development of any new industry does not rely on a large amount of resources, and you are hoping to make small fuss, I don’t know when to wait for a year or time.

And the second big thing...

Within a few days, the steam locomotive incident had already spread throughout the capital.

It didn't take long for Zhang Jing to make an article of association, but it was the establishment of the company, the structure of the company, and the dividend mechanism.

Of course, the most important thing is two railways, these two railways... Zhang Jing had been thinking about it early in the morning. More than half a year ago, someone had already visited the terrain and recorded the terrain and landforms, which were dozens of boxes.

Therefore... everything is ready now, and only money is missing. When the money comes here, the other side immediately recruits people and prepares for construction. Zhang Jingyi has long been thinking about several nearby iron ore and coal mines, not only that... The workshop on railway engineering has also been held for four phases to allow engineers to understand the principles of rail laying and manufacturing, and how to deal with construction issues on different geology.

Emperor Tianqi took a big wave and then... the company was officially established.

The two railways are 3,700 miles long.

The Tianjin Wei railway is not long, only about 300 miles away.

This is the top priority.

If you raise funds at the cost of each miles, the capital you need is approximately 150 million taels of silver.

This is definitely an astronomical figure, so the company started issuing shares.

Emperor Tianqi was very happy and took the treasury directly and took 50 million taels of silver.

The Zhang family also happily took out 20 million taels. This time, the Zhang family took out their old capital and found that Zhang Jingyi was almost like his father. It would be better if he had to suffer his father.

After all... the money for the house search has not been paid yet, and I don’t know when it will be deposited.

It's just that the news comes out.

Here in the cabinet, several cabinet ministers, who looked at the increasingly worse battle reports sent from various places, had no idea at all.

For example, after Li Zicheng occupied Wuchang, he indeed held the imperial examination, and more than 400 scholars took the exam.

There are no 100,000 scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and there are eighty thousand. Logically speaking, four hundred scholars are nothing, but everyone is afraid!

I was afraid that these people would become role models, and from then on, Li Zicheng won the hearts of the people.

But at the moment, no one has the heart to care about this for the time being.

On this day, Huang Liji planned to invite Sun Chengzong and Liu Hongxun to come. The three of them sat down. Huang Liji stretched his waist and smiled bitterly: "What's going on in Wuchang recently?"

"No," said Sun Chengzong: "Nothing caused any big storms. Now everyone is inquiring about the railway company."

"Oh?" Huang Liji frowned: "Why... are everyone asking about this?"

In fact... everyone didn't say it on the surface, but that train really left an overly deep impression on the three of them.

Every year, so much money and grain are consumed, but a steam locomotive can actually save hundreds of animal power and thousands of manpower. People need to eat and drink, and animals also need to eat grass. This is all money, but the steam locomotive is said to be enough to eat coal.

At this time, coal was everywhere and few people went to dig it. It was worthless and was so terrible.

Sun Chengzong said thoughtfully: "Everyone is calculating this railway company. Calculate how many animals can be calculated by calculating a car. How much is it worth by judging the price of the animals, and then find out...will there be any benefits."

Huang Liji: "..."

Valuation is metaphysics. If something is popular, people will lean on it. For example, many manufacturing companies later put one or two chips on machines and claim to be technology companies. They must estimate the price according to technology companies.

Stocks are new things for the people of this era. People in this era are really not playing with those stupid things.

Railways are right... I can't make any mistakes based on the price of livestock.

At this time, Huang Liji said: "What will happen if you calculate this way?"

"Some people say they made a profit, some say they lost." Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly and said, "But... there are still many people who are optimistic about it."

Huang Liji couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this?"

"Because Zhang Jingyi is not a thing, Your Majesty... is also..." Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly again, and he did not continue to say what happened later.

Huang Liji suddenly realized that Your Majesty is not a thing, and Zhang Jingyi is not a thing. These two people are not a little bitch and are very good at scouting their homes, and how could people like Pixiu be willing to do a loss-making business?

But they took out a total of 80 million taels of silver, which was just taking out their old capital. They were willing to do so. Then... they must be profitable, so they did this.

So Huang Liji said, "So... everyone thinks... can really benefit from this place?"

"Yes." Sun Chengzong said: "Now the railway company has opened a sign and is already offering stocks. I heard that many people want to buy it and try it out."

Huang Liji was speechless for a moment.

Liu Hongxun, who was standing beside him, said angrily: "Now that people's hearts have reached this point. Everyone is eager for quick success and instant benefits, and they all dream of making money. This is not the long-term way for the country! Especially Your Majesty, the emperor, who is not frugal, but he talks about interests every day, just like a merchant. How can the people in the world educate? I...ah... It's really a matter of human hearts, and the world is getting worse and worse. It's a pity, a pity..."

Sun Chengzong glanced at him and said, "Mr. Liu, your son... didn't he take his people and also went to buy a lot of stocks?"

Liu Hongxun's face suddenly turned red, and then he became aggressive like a cockfighting, saying: "What does my son do to me?"
