After thinking for a long time, the determination in Zhao Jun's eyes became stronger and stronger!
The railway must be repaired!
This is something I have decided since the steam engine was successfully researched. No matter what kind of obstacles or difficulties I encounter, I must fix it.
But how to build it can be more flexible. The reason why they are opposed to building the railway now is simply that the one-time construction requires too much manpower and material resources, and they don't know how powerful the train is, so they are unsure.
In this case, you should first build a railway connecting Yunzhou City with Yunzhong and Dingyang City, and use these three cities as a testing ground to let them see with their own eyes the role of the train and how it can help Yunzhou City. .
In this way, they will gradually and naturally agree to build these two major railways.
And I can also use this railway connecting the three cities as a practice. Presumably with the experience of building this railway, I will have more experience when building two long railways in the future, and reduce and solve possible problems during the construction process. Errors and difficulties that arise.
With a group of technically mature personnel, future construction can be accelerated.
It's like killing two birds with one stone, no! This is a good thing for Sande!
Zhao Jun's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his eyes became firmer!
He raised his head, looked at the ministers who were earnestly persuading him, and said loudly: "Everyone, how can you hesitate to move forward just because you see difficulties?
Our Yunzhou County has developed from a poor and barren frontier, a remote border that everyone despised, to the prosperous scene it is today. How much time has it taken and how many difficulties have been overcome to achieve today's achievements.
Now you are facing something that can make our Yunzhou County more powerful, but you want to give up because of the difficulties that appear in front of you, and let yourselves shrink back into your current comfort zone. Do you still have the experience of my Yunzhou County’s development period? Perseverance and fearless determination?
Are you still the same person you once were?
If it were five years ago, six years ago, seven years ago!
Faced with this intersection of choices, will you look like this now?
You guys have disappointed me so much! "
Zhao Jun's words immediately made the officials who had just clamored for Zhao Jun to give up building the railway open their mouths for a long time, but they didn't know what to say.
Zhao Jun's words reminded them of the past. Only they knew how desolate the undeveloped Yunzhou County was. The population of the city was just over 10,000, and there were simple stone houses everywhere.
The people in the city cultivated the poorest land in the world, and had to rely on the government's relief every year to survive the winter. Every household had no clothes or enough food to eat!
Days like that are almost their daily routine.
Today's senior officials, except for Ding Hongguang and his army, and Jiang He who came later, many of the others are natives of Yunzhou City.
Only they know how many difficulties they have overcome and how many decisions they have faced along the way.
Since the arrival of Prince Yun, he has always asked everyone to do as he said with surprising words. Everyone was frightened almost every time, because at that time, everyone had limited capital. If a mistake was made, the whole family might be involved. He was starved to death.
But without any money, they were frightened at that time, but they had the courage to gamble. Under the leadership of King Yun, they stepped onto the gambling table of fate countless times, winning the final victory again and again, and slowly Yunzhou County gradually became prosperous, and their families also had more capital in their hands, but their courage seemed to have gradually lost.
They suddenly realized this under Zhao Jun's scolding, but faced with the huge consumption of manpower and material resources, this time they would block Yunzhou County for decades to come!
How could they not be timid and fearful?
This is true even if the person who brought this up is the victorious King Yun.
No matter how Zhao Jun looked at them, he wondered what they were thinking.
He snorted coldly and thought to himself, Chun, although these people started up with him, but slowly their thoughts have gradually failed to keep up with the times. If they are always in charge of the power of Yunzhou County, sooner or later, Yunzhou will The development of the county will be stagnant because of their old-fashioned thinking. It seems that they have to prepare early.
But these are things for later. The top priority now is to solve the railway issue.
Zhao Jun saw that they all became quiet, so he spoke.
“I know what you are thinking, it’s just that you don’t want to spend such a huge price to block the train’s future, and think it’s not worth the price.
In this case, let's make a bet. Now we will not build the railway from Yunzhou County to Youer County, nor will we build the railway from Yunzhou County to Grassland Mutual City.
We will build a railway between Yunzhou City and the three cities of Yunzhong and Dingyang, and then we will take one year to see how much change the railway can bring to the three cities.
How about we finally decide whether to start building those two railways? "
After hearing this, the officials looked at each other for a while, and then Jiang He stood up hesitantly and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you have to build this railway?"
"Because he is the future!"
Zhao Jun looked firm and answered decisively.
Jiang He was choked by these words. He turned back to discuss with the officials, sighed, turned around and said, "My lord, you are the lord of Yunzhou County. Since you insist, then naturally we, as ministers, should not stop you." , since you are so confident.
Then we will make a bet on this three-city railway. After the road is completed, it will run for one year. You and I will bet on the role of this train!
But if the prince loses, please give up this idea. It is not easy for Yunzhou County to have the current situation. Since you are a pioneer, don't do what Xuanzong did before Tang Dynasty. "
The meaning of his words was already obvious. Boss, it’s not easy to save a fortune. Don’t be like Li Longji in the former Tang Dynasty and lose the fortune you saved later!
The corners of Zhao Jun's mouth twitched. What a good guy, you actually compared yourself to Tang Xuanzong. You were so sure that you would lose. Do you think I was joking?
good! Then let’s see who is crying and who is laughing!
Zhao Jun nodded confidently and said: "Okay! Since you have made a bet with me! Let's wait and see. Let's make an agreement first. During the construction of the three-city railway, no one is allowed to do anything. If you dare to make any extravagant moves, Then don’t blame me for being ruthless, you all know my temper, so don’t cry for father and mother when the time comes!”
Jiang He suddenly had a black line on his head. You are our prince after all. Even if we oppose your construction of the railway, we will not make any extra moves based on this bet. Everyone knows your temperament and no one dares. out.
Are you going to threaten us directly?
Dangjie bowed his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we still have this kind of integrity, and we will never do such villainous behavior."
Zhao Jun looked at him: "A gentleman's words!"
Jiang He said solemnly: "Hurry up and whip your horse!"
"Okay! The bet will take effect from now on. You will start preparing to build the three-city railway tomorrow and start construction soon!"
"promise!"
