Chapter 272 Stingy Ying Zheng

"This." Li Zhao was embarrassed.

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, "What? Don't want to? Do you want to resist the decree?"

He directly threw out the most fatal threat.

Li Zhao smiled bitterly. Qin Shihuang had decided to accept him, but he had to obey the will, but he couldn't accept it in terms of funds. This was a national economy and people's livelihood project, and it should be borne by the country unless it was profitable.

"No, no, I don't dare. It's just that it's difficult for me to do it alone."

He originally wanted to say that it was difficult to finance, but he did not dare to say any more in the middle of the sentence and immediately changed the subject, because further discussion would be a bargain. Qin Shihuang was very resolute and never liked to be turned away.

That’s what he said, but his voice of complaint soon came out:

[Your Majesty, your Majesty, you are embarrassing me. Just one locomotive cost me a lot of money, and the train will not bankrupt me, but you don’t care. Do you want me to say that I need money?

?How embarrassing.】

Hmm! Ying Zheng heard it immediately, raised his eyebrows, and secretly thought that this guy really didn't mean what he said, but he didn't want to mention the funds.

Since the ban on suppressing business, there have been many commercial banks all over the world, and commerce has flourished for a time. Taxation has brought a lot of revenue to the government. However, he made a presumption at that time and did not collect taxes from Chang'an Township for three years. He regretted this for a long time, but

You can't break your promise and take back your life.

It should be known that during this period, he had seen the commercial development of Chang'an Township, and he was definitely making a lot of money. There were rumors that Li Zhaozu could become the richest man in Xianyang.

He is a wealthy man.

Since you can't take your life back, you can claim it from other sources. Obviously, building a train is a good way to claim it.

Of course, it would be impossible for him to think about it.

Moreover, just to build a train, how much wealth can be used? How much gold is needed to build a carriage, and the train should be equivalent to dozens of carriages! The cost is only a hundred gold, which is definitely not a burden for the extremely rich Li Zhao.

Thinking like this, Li Zhao's voice came up again:

[Building a train is not just about building a steam engine, it also requires laying rails, and iron requires fine steel. The smelting of fine steel is a technical job and requires skilled craftsmen. This requires a lot of money, and the carriages also cost a lot, anyway.

Bottomless pit.]

Bottomless pit? Railroad rail? Fine steel?

What the hell?

Ying Zheng couldn't figure it out at all, but he understood the carriage, and the carriage also cost a lot? It was obviously a lie, and the servants reported from time to time, how many carriages and horses in the palace were there? How much did it cost? He still knew something in his heart, and Li Zhao

The carriage is made of nothing more than wood and can be worth a few bucks.

Although the carriage is expensive, the price lies in the horse. The carriage is a cheap thing, so how can it cost money?

He clearly still wanted to shirk it, but he didn't expect that Li Zhao would actually lie about what he was saying in his heart. He couldn't help but shake his head, but the next moment Li Zhao's voice came up again:

[Carriages also need to be made of steel. One carriage costs at least dozens of tons, no, hundreds of stones. A train has dozens of carriages. In total, how much fine steel is needed!]

[And iron is not steel. Hundreds of stone iron cannot produce much steel. With such a huge amount of iron, my iron ore is simply not enough. I have to buy it, and the funds are immeasurable! 】

What! Listening, Ying Zheng was startled.

The carriage is made of steel, not wood? What is steel? It sounds like steel is obtained from iron. Is this also the Tao learned from the steam ball?

A carriage worth hundreds of stones is too luxurious. If it were really like this, it would really require huge sums of money.

He originally thought that making trains would be more expensive than steam engines, but he never expected that there were so many trains.

Of course, just listen to it, he won't say a word, let Li Zhao have the headache! Who told him to be so rich?

As for him alone? There are indeed some shortcomings.

"I won't let you do it alone. From now on, Duan Murong and others will be under your control."
