"Tsk, tsk, tsk, in less than an hour, the first and second floors are full of people. Even outside the door are people queuing up to buy kebabs. They squeezed us to the third floor!"

Zhang Han, holding a mutton skewer, stood by the stairs outside the box on the third floor and said with a smile.

"Okay, Lao Zhang, don't go to Versailles, the meat skewers in our mouths won't taste good anymore!"

Meng Yi sat in the box and rolled his eyes at him.

It is expected that the barbecue restaurant is popular.

But on the day of the banquet in the Royal Garden, they saw that the young master had no intention of doing anything, so they didn't ask any questions!

Unexpectedly, this old guy quietly took the lead!

As expected, the words that the young master often muttered are true: if you are thick-skinned, you will not be able to eat enough; if you are thin-skinned, you will not be able to eat enough!

The first floor of the store is the lobby, you can sit wherever you want!

The minimum consumption on the second floor is 200 Wen. As long as you are not a poor person and call a few friends, you can definitely reach this level of consumption, which is almost equivalent to sitting casually.

The private rooms on the third floor are of the highest quality, so the minimum consumption is ten gold!

If you are not a noble person in the city, you really don’t dare to sit down!

Ying Zheng ate the grilled lamb chops and asked doubtfully, "You are making little by little, when will I be able to get my money back?"

I thought he would set the price as low as Wuliangye, but I didn't expect it to be as low as the ground.

He invested 60,000 gold, how long will it take him to earn it back?

"My son, this is called small profits but quick turnover...!"

Xiao Zhengtai glanced at the dense crowd of people downstairs and said with a smile: "Even if you only earn ten cents per person, as long as there are enough people, it's still a lot of money. In addition, you always have to drink a bar when you enter?

This drives up the sales of drinks! Everyone should know how much money can be made from drinks!”

After saying that, the young lady raised her eyebrows at everyone and made a "you know what" expression.

"Well! If you think about it this way, it's really a bit of a profit!"

There were hundreds of people outside the door plus the first and second floors. The barbecue chef was so busy that he was sweating profusely and was still being urged by the people impatiently.

"After dinner later, take me to see the steam engine. I want to see if it is really as magical as you said and can pull thousands of people!"

Ever since the young lady mentioned the usefulness of the train in the court, Ying Zheng has always been thinking about it.

However, we have been very busy these past two days, so we have put this matter on hold for the time being.

I just happened to leave the palace today, so I went to take a look for myself!

"Of course, otherwise, why would you want to build a steam engine factory?"

Xiao Zhengtai said with a proud smile on his face.

"Young Master, I wonder if the steam engine factory can still issue shares?"

Meng Yi, who had not successfully invested in the shares, asked with interest.

"If Master Meng had delayed asking for two days, the factory would have been built!"

Xiao Zhengtai smiled.

"Forehead……!"

“The steam engine factory doesn’t want to raise shares, so it’s better to make trains, right?”

Wang Ben blinked and asked.

"Huh? My father-in-law is still smart!"

Xiao Zhengtai's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up.

"Hey, I also heard from the young master that a special railway needs to be built. Since it is a railway, it must cost a lot of money. I must support such a machine that benefits the country and the people!"

Wang Ben said what he said was righteous.

"Benefiting the country and the people? How did my father-in-law know that this train can benefit the country and the people?"

This actually aroused little Shota's curiosity.

At the court, he only said that the train could travel thousands of miles a day and carry thousands of people, but did not mention other uses. How did this old guy figure it out?

"A train can travel thousands of miles in a day. If it is used to transport troops, it can reach the battlefield in one day. Isn't this a benefit to the country?"

"Being able to carry thousands of people, transporting people and transporting goods without war, isn't this beneficial to the people?"

Wang Ben briefly said what I said to Wang Jian, and received many shocked looks.

Especially Ying Zheng, he only thought about transporting troops, but he did not expect that it could also carry people.

When did this old guy's mind become so bright?

"Okay, Lao Wang, you can analyze so many things through just two sentences from the young master, and even guess that the young master will raise shares?"

Zhang Han was immediately impressed.

"Hey, isn't this obvious?"

Wang Ben grinned.

I, Wang Jian, have not gone to court to discuss matters for many years, and Ying Zheng is also suspicious. If he knew that I was still involved in government affairs at home, he would definitely be suspicious!

"My father-in-law is right. After the train is built, it will have many uses. As my father-in-law said, it can transport troops, goods, and can also be used for civilian purposes. However, the cost is high, and just researching it will cost a lot!"

Little Shota nodded.

If you want to build a railway or develop a train, you must raise shares. However, the drawings have just been produced, and Huang Yuan is also very busy, so he has not officially mentioned this matter.

"Young Master, how many shares do you need to invest this time? Maybe we can participate?"

As soon as they heard that they were going to buy shares, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

"Trains are very useful. Laying tracks is expensive and laborious. It is impossible to lay too many tracks at once. But even if you only repair one track, the funds required are not as simple as tens of thousands of gold!"

"How much does that cost?"

When money was mentioned, Ying Zheng's eyes brightened more than anyone else's.

"Artificial, stone, sleepers plus steel...?"

Little Shota put down the mutton chops in his hand and counted with his fingers, "About twenty thousand gold per mile!"

"puff……"

"Ahem..."

As soon as he said this, the wine in Ying Zhenggang's mouth squirted out, and Wang Ben and others were frightened and coughed violently!

"How much? How many did you just say?"

Ying Zheng seemed not to believe his ears and stared at the young lady suspiciously.

"Each mile built requires twenty thousand gold!"

Xiao Zhengtai said every word with determination.

Among the various high-tech means of transportation in later generations, railways have the highest safety factor!

In addition to the stability of the train's own power, the safety of the rails is also crucial!

If a high-speed train encounters damaged rails, you can imagine the consequences!

"If you want to cultivate to a thousand miles away, wouldn't you need 20 million gold?"

Meng Yi was so shocked that he could only stuff an egg into his mouth. Even the food and grass for the war could not be used so much.

What this train needs is not rails, but gold rails!

"One train costs 20 million gold. If you want to lay tracks all over the Qin Dynasty, how much will it cost?"

Thinking of this huge number, Ying Zheng also took a breath of cold air.

Above the court, he only cared about traveling thousands of miles and gave up Afang Palace without asking the price.

If he had known the cost of building the railway at that time, maybe he would not have let it go!

The wine shop's business is getting better and better, and Ying Zheng's monthly dividends have reached 900,000 gold.

After escaping poverty, he once thought that he was a rich man and could spend whatever he wanted in the future!

Unexpectedly, a railway station completely stumped him!

Even if he didn't get a penny from the winery's dividends, it would still take two years to build a railway.
Chapter completed!
