"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 best threat to his life.
Li Zhao smiled bitterly. Qin Shihuang had decided to accept him, but he had to obey the will, but he could not accept the funding. 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 complete 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 resolute and never liked to be turned away.
That’s what he said, but his voice of complaint soon came out:
[Emperor, your Majesty, you are making things difficult for 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. 】
Um! 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. But at that time, he made a golden mouth and refused to 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.
You must know that during this period, he saw 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 life cannot be taken back, it can be claimed from other aspects. 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 building a train, how much wealth can be used? It only costs a few gold to build a carriage, and a train should be equivalent to dozens of carriages! The price is only a hundred gold, which is definitely not a burden to the extremely wealthy 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? rail? Stainless steel?
What the hell?
Ying Zheng couldn't figure it out at all, but if the carriage understood it, the carriage would also cost a lot? It's obviously a lie, and the servants report it from time to time. How many carriages and horses are there in the palace? How much does it cost? He still knew something in his heart, and Li Zhao's carriage was just made of wood and could be worth a few dollars.
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 evade, but he didn't expect that Li Zhao would also 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! 】
[Iron is not steel. Hundreds of stone iron cannot produce much steel. With such a huge amount of iron, my iron ore is not enough. I have to buy it. The funds are immeasurable! 】
What! As he listened, 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 truth learned from the steam ball?
Hundreds of stone steel per carriage is too extravagant. If this is really the case, it would really require huge sums of money.
He originally thought that making trains would only be more expensive with steam engines, but he didn't expect that there were so many more.
Of course, just listen, he won't say a word, let Li Zhao take care of all this! Who told him to be so rich?
As for just him? 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."
