Chapter 712: Profitable
This sudden flattery made Zhang Jingyi laugh and cry at the moment.
But he glanced at Liu Wenxiu.
But I found that Liu Wenxiu didn't seem to be flattering, and I saw him look serious.
It seems that I think so seriously.
Zhang Jingyi let out a sigh and waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense, just do your business."
I walked a few steps in the corridor outside the interrogation room.
Then I saw Wu Changchun coming in a hurry at this time.
Obviously, he received the order to prepare to entertain Lin Bin.
He was far away at the end of the corridor, and immediately stood sideways by the wall, lowered his head, and saluted Zhang Jing from afar.
Zhang Jingyi felt that this person... had an indescribable feeling, gloomy, like a demon in hell.
But Zhang Jingyi knew that the Jinyiwei could not live without such a person.
In this era, there are not so many so-called humanity, which is not that it is not that it is not about humanity, but that the social concepts at this time are like this.
It's like the misfortune is not as good as the family.
Why is this era of inseparable?
It may not be the law of later generations, which is more merciful than this era, and people in later generations have more generous thoughts.
You should know that there were many kind-hearted periods in ancient times, and even death row prisoners needed to be punished by the emperor himself, and they would often ask for amnesty in the world.
The reason why there are implicated laws is actually just a background of the times. People, clans and big families in later generations have become indifferent, and social relations have become small families or individuals.
However, in this era, the relationship between the clan and the big family is very close, and individuals are completely dependent on the clan and family, prospering and losing together.
If there is no punishment for implicating it, it means that every individual in the clan dares to trample on all laws for the benefit of the clan or the big family. In this way, the benefits of illegality belong to the clan, and individuals are willing to die will emerge one after another.
Then the law will have no deterrent effect.
Zhang Jing nodded to Wu Changchun, then left.
Not long after, a report was delivered to the desk of Emperor Apocalypse.
Emperor Aoki took a closer look.
He couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head.
Why do those people... dare to fight the Ming Dynasty?
The contact between the Ming Dynasty and the European countries has actually been in progress for many years.
However, the Ming Dynasty was obviously not very interested in these people, but there were many scholars and officials in the people who were willing to date them.
Since the Zhengde period, there have been many records of summoning the messenger of Franchise.
It’s not that the Ming Dynasty has no understanding of them at all.
In other words, the Ming Dynasty knew nothing about external affairs.
The reason I didn't have much interest was that for the Ming Dynasty, these Franchise men and the Netherlands were more like a group of robbers who had robbed their families and had negotiated with them deeply. So what do many overseas vassal parliaments that were infringed on them?
On the other hand, both parties are indeed talking to each other. On the surface, it is a conversation, but in fact, neither of them can understand each other's intentions.
Emperor Aoki was shocked when he watched the report.
Immediately, the person who was ordered to send the report to the cabinet.
The cabinet was a little confused.
Because there are some things inside, they really can't understand them.
For example, even though there was something wrong with their bank, it prompted them to harass the Ming Dynasty.
For example, Franji and the Netherlands clearly had been attacking the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty. They first attacked the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and then they were begging for nothing in Macau under various names, and even occupied Ryukyu and coveted Penghu. Although the Ming Dynasty could not be a victim, they were at least not a victim.
But why, it seems like Daming dug out their ancestral graves and became an ugly monster that was about to harm them.
It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out.
The cabinet was still in charge of the affairs, and several cabinet ministers immediately wrote a letter to draft a constitution to strengthen coastal defense.
For example, increasing the protection of merchant ships, and strengthening several coastal guards along the coast.
Nowadays, the details of the Netherlands and Francis people have not yet been understood. All Emperor Apocalypse can do is to be right, and take one step, look at it.
After all, for Emperor Apocalypse, the most exciting thing at the moment is the railway problem.
The railway project in Liaodong used a lot of manpower and material resources, a railway line from Beijing to Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and finally headed straight to Lushun.
However, the court was determined to open another line on Ningyuan and head to Chenyang.
The reason why we have to go deep into Chenyang is ultimately due to the influence of the Jiannu people. This was once the nest of the Jiannu people. We must completely control this marginal place and remove the troubles in our hearts. However, these manpower and material resources are still needed.
Nowadays, all projects revolve around the Lushun line and the Shenyang line, which are only planned, but the railway has been laid in Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Tieling.
But at this moment, a group of merchants came back.
They went to Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Tieling...
They had walked through four large mines in total, and on the way back, the railway line was finally completed.
Therefore, they rode a steam train and returned to the capital for four or five days.
The big bosses of the steel workshop headed by Liu Hongshi had already come to pick them up after they came out of the station.
Not only that, many people from newspapers have long heard of the news and are waiting outside this station.
When Liu Hongshi and others came out, they were immediately surrounded and lost.
Someone said anxiously: "I wonder what your ministers think about going to Liao this time?"
“How about the mine?”
"Is it true as the market says?"
"Please say a few words..."
Liu Hongshi coughed, but unexpectedly, he became the most eye-catching figure in the entire capital. So he said: "Liaodong is bitter and cold, with snow all year round, and mining minerals is not easy. Although the current mineral quality of the mines is of top quality, it is still unknown what the future will be. Moreover, the manpower price there is too high, and the salary of craftsmen and laborers is more than twice that of the pass. Such huge manpower expenses are also worrying. In summary, all kinds of things are really hard to describe and are not humane."
After leaving these words, everyone got on the bus and left.
This made the originally eager people feel like they were suddenly deflated. The people from various newspapers would write down the words of Liu Hongshi and others, and then rushed back to the newspapers without stopping.
Nowadays, competition in newspapers is very fierce. With the emergence of stocks, readers' requirements for the timeliness of articles have become increasingly high.
After all, for the same news, if you come out one day later, the former is crucial, while the latter is worthless.
Liu Hongshi left aside his words, sat in the carriage and took a nap. When he returned to the Liu family, he had been waiting for him.
"The master is back, the master is back."
For a moment, the home was very lively.
Liu Hongshi had a dark face and entered the mansion, asking the in charge to drive away all the troublemakers. He then went to the hall to sit down: "Where is that guy Liu O? Where have you been?"
"Master, the young master went to the station to pick you up... Why, did you not meet me?"
Liu Hongshi said nothing.
After a while, I heard hurried steps.
But it was Liu Hongshi's son Liu Hao who came back. As soon as he came in, he said, "Dad... I saw you outside the station, but unfortunately... there were too many people at that time, and it was in chaos..."
"Okay." Liu Hongshi had already drunk tea, paused, then looked up at Liu Yu: "Now, start, I speak, please listen to me, do as my father's words."
"First, check how much money is there in the account. I will immediately acquire Liaodong Mining's stock today and tomorrow."
"ah……"
"Secondly, we need to prepare. Our steel workshop needs to open new workshops in Tieling and Yizhou Wei... The land has been chosen. I am old and I cannot travel around the capital and Liaodong. In the future, Liaodong business will have to be handed over to you. You are not young, so you can no longer be as nonsense as before. Haven't you always said that I will not let you let you take charge of the matter? In the future, everything in Liaodong will be yours. Don't let me be disappointed, otherwise you will be humiliated without your ancestors!"
Liu Yu: "..."
"Why, don't want to go?"
"No." Liu Dai said with a giggle and cry: "This...this...but just now... my son was clearly outside the station and heard his father say...this place in Liaodong is so cold, and the price of labor is also expensive... but the scale of this mine is still hard to describe, and it is hard to say..."
"Dad..." Liu Hao said, and couldn't help but say, "Did what Dad said are all lies?"
Liu Hongshi calmed down and took a sip of tea, then said slowly: "It's very common, how dare I lie?"
Liu Yu: "..."
Liu Hongshi said: "But, what I said is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. But... I only told them half of the truth."
Liu Yu looked speechless: "Where is the other half?"
"The other half is that the place in Liaodong is bitter and cold now, but there are countless lands there, and the land is outrageously cheap. In the future, all railways will be connected, countless mines and workshops will be profitable. Even if a large amount of rye is planted in the future, it will be the south of the Yangtze River. The future is really immeasurable."
"As for me, the quality of the mines there is hard to explain in the future. However... Liaodong is too vast, and I don't know how many rich ores will not be exhausted within three hundred years. The quality of the mineral deposits in the future may not be enough, but it may be that the mineral deposits in the future will be richer."
Liu Duo was a little confused and saw Liu Hongshi with a confused look on his face.
