The courtiers gathered together to discuss it for half the night. Finally, they thought: They should be able to make money. Has the banished immortal ever lost money? It should be right to do business with the banished immortal.
To be cautious, they sent a few servants to find out the recent railway income.
Isn't there a railway that has been built now?
From Xianyang City to Beidi County, from Beidi County to Peacock Kingdom.
It is said that the railway is quite busy, but I don't know if it makes any money.
The courtiers waited for a while, and the servant came back with the copied account books.
These courtiers are all officials in the court, and it is too easy to obtain these data.
What's more, Wang Wan has recently been sorting out content in this area on the emperor's order. So the data is readily available.
The courtiers found the railroad's revenue, looked at it, and were stunned.
Is this... is this profit so impressive?
It was more profitable than they imagined, and it was much more profitable.
At this profit rate, the capital may be back within a few years.
It is true that building railways is expensive, but it also makes money quickly.
So these people said goodbye to each other and went back with different thoughts.
The next morning, Li Shui was grabbed by Weiyang's ears and screamed.
Li Shui said sleepily: "It's not yet bright yet."
Wei Yang said: "You always sleep until three o'clock in the morning before going out. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Li Shui said: "Do you think that a person's face is earned by going to bed early and getting up early? It is earned by being smart and talented, and serving the country and the people."
"I have accomplished so many feats. Even if I sleep until the sun goes down, I will still be admired by the people."
Wei Yang couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, you are the best. But can you give me some face and get up early?"
Li Shui sighed, rubbed his ears and put on his clothes.
Breakfast has been set outside, but Weiyang is alone.
The little palace maid in charge of serving the meal looked at the banished immortal in confusion: "Slave, I didn't know that the banished immortal got up so early today... I'll go and let them prepare it now."
Then the little palace maid hurried out.
Weiyang chuckled.
Li Shui said helplessly: "I heard that men in Da Qin have a high status, and women must behave themselves in front of their husbands. Why is it different from what I experience?"
Weiyang raised her head and said proudly: "Shouldn't this be attributed to you? Women can hold up half the sky, but you were the one who shouted with all your strength."
Li Shui scratched his head: "It seems right."
Soon, the food was served.
After Li Shui finished eating, it was just dawn.
Li Shui was a little confused after getting up so early and didn't know what to do.
Just... take a walk in Shangjun Villa.
Take a look at your property, exercise, and treat it like a walk.
While Li Shui was walking, he found that everyone in Shangjun Courtyard had gotten up early and started working.
Well... there are really many diligent people among the people of Qin.
However, when these craftsmen saw Li Shui, they all looked like they had seen a ghost.
Some people even boldly asked: "Exiled Immortal, are you... uncomfortable?"
Someone else asked: "Exiled Immortal, did you stay up all night?"
Li Shui was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Haha, this is the ambition of the sparrow to know the swan.
Li Shui walked to the gate of Shangjun Courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Now, a faint commercial street has been formed from Shangjun Courtyard to Xianyang City Gate.
It's just that this commercial street does not have shops, but is composed of street stalls.
Those who sell jewelry, those who sell cloth, those who sell vegetables.
Of course, there are more breakfast vendors, and novel foods from all over the world are quickly introduced to Xianyang City.
And those who buy breakfast have the most prosperous business.
Now the people of the Qin Dynasty are rich, they have enough food to eat, and they have more money in their hands.
In the past, when I was not full, I was always reluctant to eat. Now that I have enough to eat, the first thing I do is buy food, as if to take revenge for the days when I was hungry before.
Li Shui said with emotion: "This is the breath of life. Everyone has enough food and clothing, and everyone can see hope in life. The fairyland on earth is nothing more than this."
Niu Calf complimented from the side: "This is all the result of banishing the immortal."
Li Shui laughed.
He suddenly discovered that getting up early was not a bad idea. After breakfast, I felt refreshed and chatted with the craftsman again.
These craftsmen are all talented and well-spoken...
Just when Li Shui was sighing, a carriage suddenly came over, and then a courtier jumped out.
Li Shui exclaimed: "Is it opening so early?"
The courtier knew the rules very well and obediently paid one hundred thousand yuan to enter Shang Jun's courtyard.
He saw Li Shui at a glance and said, "I am banishing the immortal. I want to borrow money from you."
Li Shui smiled: "Okay."
Soon, Ji Nu was called and went through the loan procedures for the courtier.
As a result, just as the courtier left, a second courtier arrived.
Then the third, the fourth.
In one morning, almost all the courtiers came to borrow money.
Niu Mao, who had been watching the whole event, was a little excited: "Sir, today is really lively. We are going to make a lot of money."
Li Shui frowned: "It's strange, these people are so good, why do they come to borrow money? Is it possible that Daqin is still in financial crisis? It shouldn't be."
Li Shui said to Niu Da: "Send two people immediately to check and find out why the courtiers have come to borrow money."
Niu Cal agreed and immediately went to check.
An hour later, Niu Cal came back and said to Li Shui: "It is said that after these courtiers got the money, they all invested in the railway."
Li Shui suddenly laughed: "It's a good thing that the people are enlightened. I didn't expect these courtiers to be much more enlightened than I thought. They understand how money begets money."
But after finishing his emotion, Li Shui was a little puzzled and whispered: "But these adults, aren't they too liberal? Borrowing money to invest? Are they too aggressive?"
However, no matter what, it is always a good thing.
Li Shui happily returned to his bedroom, planning to take a nap.
…………
"Master, master, many people are going to Shangjun Courtyard to borrow money now." Chunyu Jia hurried to Chun Yuyue's room.
Chunyu Yue raised his head and looked at Chunyu Jia in confusion: "Going to borrow money? There are many people?"
Chunyu Jia nodded and said breathlessly: "Yes, almost all the courtiers have borrowed it."
Chunyu Yue was even more surprised: "Why is this? Are they short of money?"
Chunyu Jia said: "It is said that after these people borrowed the money, they all invested in the railway."
Chunyu Yue was silent for a long time, and then said: "It's strange. During the last court meeting, these people still disapproved of the railway and thought it was a big waste. Why have they suddenly changed their minds now?"
Chunyu Jia said: "It is said that the Prime Minister made statistics on the railway situation and it seems to be quite profitable."
Chunyu Yue shook his head: "It's still wrong. Even if it is profitable, these courtiers will not borrow money to invest. They are always cautious."
"After getting money, the first choice is to buy a house and land. If it can't be used up, put it in a jar and bury it underground."
"Now they are actually willing to invest? Are they actually willing to borrow money to invest? There is something fishy about this."
Chunyu Yue said to Chunyu Jia: "Go and inquire and see if these courtiers invested voluntarily."
Chunyu Jia was stunned and said cautiously: "What the master means is..."
Chunyu Yue nodded: "The actions of banishing immortals are unpredictable. Today's things are too weird after all. Maybe Huaiguzi is secretly blackmailing them."
"Now I am devoted to studying Confucianism and have no intention of being an enemy of the immortals. But if he must do evil, I will have to stand up and say a few words of justice."
Chunyu Jia looked at his master with great admiration: "Now the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty are afraid of banished immortals. The prime minister and Tingwei have died down, and Li Xin has advanced and retreated with the banished immortals. The only one who can check and balance the banished immortals is probably the master. is you."
Chunyu Yue smiled: "What are the checks and balances? They are all for the sake of the common people in the world."
Chunyu Jia responded and left in a hurry.
Two hours later, he came back and said to Chunyu Yue: "The villain has found out clearly that the banished immortal did not coerce the courtiers. The courtiers borrowing money are indeed voluntary."
"There were several courtiers who had relatively little property but borrowed a lot of money. After Shangjun Court evaluated his fields and properties, they refused a large loan. The courtiers looked unhappy and quarreled with the craftsmen. "
Chunyu Yue smiled slightly: "Really? It seems that these people are really greedy for money and want to make some money on the railway."
Chunyu Jia rubbed his hands and asked, "Master, should we also invest in the railway?"
Chunyu Yue thought for a while and said: "Forget it, many people have already invested in the railway, let's not fight with them."
Chunyu Jia responded, a little disappointed.
Chunyu Yue said again: "I heard that this railway can transport people?"
Chunyu Jia said: "Yes, it is said that troops can be transported in wartime, and people can be transported in peacetime. The journey that used to take two or three months can now be completed in two or three days."
Chunyu Yue sighed and said: "Those who have left their hometowns, although they have trains, they can save some time and effort."
"But after I got off the train, I was still without any friends. It was very pitiful."
Chunyu Jia said yes repeatedly.
Chunyu Yue thought about it and said, "I have a copy of the train plan here. There are several stations on it. Go get some money and buy some fields near the stations."
Chunyujia asked: "Do you buy it on all sites?"
Chunyu Yue hummed: "After buying the land, we need to build restaurants and hotels, and we can also build some books and shops."
"In this way, those who have left their homes can finally have a place to rest after getting off the train."
Chunyu Jia said: "Do all sites need to buy land to build shops?"
Chunyu Yue nodded and said, "Of course."
Chunyu Jia couldn't help but said: "However, some sites are not in towns. For example, these stone gates and commercial capitals."
"Some are small villages, and some are simply barren mountains and mountains. We have built shops, but no locals patronize them, only a few travelers... I'm afraid we will lose money."
Chunyu Yue smiled slightly and said: "Everyone in Xianyang City knows that I am a rich man, and my wealth is second only to the Exiled Immortal, but everyone thinks that I am different from the Exiled Immortal. Do you know why?"
Chunyu Jia shook his head: "The villain is stupid."
Chunyu Yue said: "The biggest difference between me and the banished immortal is that I am not interested in money and I don't love money."
Chunyu Jia thought to himself: Isn't this word... banishing immortals often talked about?
Chunyu Yue said: "Go ahead. My money is meant to benefit the common people. There is no harm in losing money."
"If one day those shops really lose all my money, I will just eat and drink in the back alleys with a basket of food and a cup of water, and I will not change my joy."
Chunyu Jia just responded and left, extremely distressed, to discuss the purchase of land.
Not long after Chunyu Jia left, Chunyu Yue welcomed another guest.
It's Fusu.
Fusu said with some trepidation: "Master, my father ordered me to lead troops to suppress the bandits."
Chunyu Yue smiled slightly and said, "Then you go ahead. If I don't understand military affairs as a teacher, I won't be able to help you."
Fusu sighed and said: "According to my father's wishes, this time we are going to test me and Fu Yao to determine the final candidate for the crown prince. Perhaps after the suppression of the bandits is over, my father will make an announcement."
Chunyu Yue nodded: "Then you should work harder."
Fusu was silent for a few seconds and said, "Master, what you mean is...do you want me to fight for the position of prince?"
Chunyu Yue said: "Do you think the future emperor will be better served by you or by Fu Yao?"
Fusu said nothing.
Chunyu Yue said: "Fu Yao is young and has a broad mind. After receiving the guidance of the banished immortal, he acts boldly and can indeed have unexpected results."
"But what if he is wrong? What if he is wrong too? These two people are too reckless."
"Perhaps, you are more suitable to be the prince or the emperor. As the eldest brother, you are more stable than Fu Yao. If His Majesty chooses you, you may want to consider whether to use the method of banishing immortals to govern the country."
"The foundation of Confucianism lies in the word benevolence. It is the great compassion for all people in the world."
"As long as it can create peace for all generations and allow people to live and work in peace and contentment, the core is the word benevolence. No matter how different its expressions are, the essence is the same, it is the way of Confucianism."
In a word, it is simply enlightening.
Fusu said excitedly: "Not long ago, it was widely publicized that his immortality was also derived from Confucianism."
"I still didn't understand it. I thought he was deliberately trying to win over Confucian scholars. Now that Master says this, it's really enlightening."
"It turns out that all the knowledge that seeks to serve the people is Confucianism. That's it, that's it."
Chunyu Yue smiled with satisfaction: "Master, I just thought of this. So, don't worry, just go and fight for the position of the prince."
"It doesn't matter if you can't fight for it, but if you can fight for it, then use Confucianism to govern the world well."
Fusu nodded vigorously
At this moment, he felt that he was armed with Confucianism again. His whole body was filled with the power of confidence.
