The two women were shocked by Li Min's prediction.
It turns out someone can do this.
"Madam, please go and rest first!"
Li Min said with concern again.
"Okay, let's retreat first!" Ji Ruxue said.
"Come here, send the two ladies away!"
"yes!"
As soon as the two went out, they bumped into Dai Zhou.
When Dai Zhou saw the two of them, he bowed very politely. Say a few words.
Then he entered it.
As soon as he arrived, he greeted Li Min.
"Meet sir!"
He is also an old acquaintance and you can see him almost every day. But there are still relatively few people who think about Li Min directly.
"Dai Zhou, what's wrong? Why did you come to me today?"
Li Min asked deliberately.
Dai Zhou said quickly: "Actually, I came here today to ask for your help, sir."
help? There's a price to pay! How else?
"Oh? What's the matter? But it doesn't matter."
Li Min thought about what he was going to say next.
"About Chang'an's traffic problems."
It's exactly what I thought! That would be interesting.
“Isn’t the transportation in Chang’an very good?”
"Sir, you should also know that Chang'an's population has suddenly skyrocketed in recent times. Now it has exceeded 10 million people. If it continues, it may exceed 15 million people."
Yes, he also knew this, the population was increasing. The place has not changed much. Especially transportation.
"I've heard about this, what next? Go on!" Li Min gestured.
"Then regarding transportation issues, where the original Chang'an City was located, because the planning was not done well at the time, some roads were too narrow, and due to the increase in population, these roads can no longer accommodate more vehicles and pedestrians, so , except for the early morning period, it is congested at other times, and the court also tried to control it, but the results were very low."
Dai Zhou knows these things very well.
"There are indeed some problems. I have also paid attention to this!" Li Min said.
Transportation is a big deal! Transportation is the main artery of the economy! Li Min knows this better than anyone else! So he developed transportation from the beginning, building roads and railways at all costs! Even the nearest helicopter! Everything comes because of fellowship.
"Recently, there has been congestion near the Daming Palace where His Majesty is located. The sound of vehicle horns and the noise of people coming and going have made His Majesty miserable. Therefore, His Majesty wants to deal with this situation well. Something happened, so I came to see Mr.
"Oh? That's true, but why are you here and not Duan Lun?"
Yes, this matter shouldn't be handled by the Ministry of Industry. Why did Dai Zhou come over to handle it?
When Dai Zhou heard this, he was not surprised.
He said: "You also know your Majesty's thoughts. You can't distinguish everything too clearly, otherwise you will inevitably be scolded."
This guy is really shrewd.
"That old boy is such a person. Only he can do these things! I understand you." Li Min said with a smile! No face was given to Li Shimin.
Dai Zhou:......
Dai Zhou didn't know what to say.
Li Min called Li Shimin an old boy, and he was speechless for a moment. He didn't dare to echo Li Min's words, but he could say other things. These words won’t do! He has his persistence.
So he said:
"Sir, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about this fellowship."
In the end, he did not dare to mention Li Shimin anymore.
Because he mentioned it too much, Li Min would definitely scold Li Shimin again.
In that case, will he follow the scolding or not?
This only puts him in a dilemma.
So, I would rather not talk about this.
"That's okay, just tell me, I'm listening!"
Li Min had a completely bystander attitude.
"I know, sir, he must be very knowledgeable about transportation."
"Tell me, if you have anything to say, just say it. I'm listening."
Li Min doesn't like people who beat around the bush.
If you have any questions, just say it directly and don't make any insinuations.
It makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Sir is a sensible person. I know. I heard him say something about the subway earlier."
Li Min laughed when he heard it. It seemed that Li Shimin really took the bait.
Then the next step is to cheat him with tens of billions of taels.
"Yes, that's what I said! Why, do you want to have it?"
Li Min asked back.
"His Majesty attaches great importance to this, so he asked me to come over to see sir and ask if I can transfer the technology to the imperial court."
Technology transfer?
What is Li Shimin thinking?
These things are naturally best in your own hands.
How could it be transferred to them?
So, he posed a problem to Dai Zhou.
"Transfer is not impossible!"
Dai Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this.
"What should we do?"
"Give me 100 billion taels, I will give you all the technology of the subway, and I will also give you a hydropower station!!"
When Li Min said this, Dai Zhou was in trouble.
No one knows better than him that the imperial court currently does not have 100 billion taels.
Even if it's a year's tax, there won't be much left over.
So, he added: "Can it be cheaper? Recently, the court has spent a lot of money on people's livelihood."
"How about a 50% discount? How about 50 billion?"
Fifty billion is impossible to come up with.
"Can it be lower?" Li Min was unhappy after hearing this.
Just keep a straight face.
"Do you think it's a vegetable market? Can you negotiate the price as you like?"
he asked rhetorically.
Let Dai Zhou feel ashamed.
"Sir, that's not what I meant. It's just that the court doesn't have much money now."
"This technology cost me tens of billions of dollars to come up with. If you want it, you have to pay a price, right?"
Li Min's words left Dai Zhou speechless.
Yes, Li Min spent so much money and put so much thought into it. If you want this technology, just use money in exchange.
"Is there any other way?"
"There is no other way, that is, let us undertake the construction!"
"How much does that cost?"
"It depends on how much you want to build. You don't want to build thousands of kilometers for me for only 100 million taels. How is that possible? There is a cost per kilometer to build these! I hope you can understand!"
"Yes, yes, that is impossible. Then, sir, if Chang'an is the size of the city, what is the minimum length of the subway needed?"
Dai Zhou asked back, this was a lie, but Li Min didn't hide anything.
"One vertical, one horizontal, plus two rings, a total of four subway lines. It can meet the current traffic. If Chang'an is expanded further, it will need to be extended."
Li Min said this.
In fact, he has also thought about it. When the time comes, the subway he built will be connected to it, which will expand his employee base.
There are more people to choose from.
"How much do these cost?"
Dai Zhou asked again.
"Ten billion taels!"
"What!"
Dai Zhou was shocked.
It actually costs 10 billion taels.
So, the money just earned from selling the land is gone?
