Chapter 517: The Railway Runs Smoothly to Find Cause and Effect

Hearing the words of the visitor, Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan, which means to say, look, what I said is right, right? Li Longji planned to do this, look at the magistrate of Hongnong, and by the way, check whether Li Bai and Wang Wei will really do things seriously.

What else can Wang Juan say, reply to one, count your powerful expression, nodded at the person who came, let this person leave, as soon as this person left, another person came in, and said to the two: "Little boy, little lady, there is news from the palace, Your Majesty said that he sent Xiaobei Little Lady to Hongnong to keep an eye on Li Bai and Wang Wei, so that the two of you don't have to worry." ”

"Got it." Zhang Xiaobao said, and when the people who came after him also left, Zhang Xiaobao said again: "This Li Longji can't deal with us, and he has put the target on Xiaobei and them again, is he just this ambition?" Don't put your opponent's age under 10?

also told us not to worry, of course I am not worried, Xiaobei has hundreds of guards around them, what am I worried about? Xiaobei is sold now, and he also helps others count the money, really, no, I have to get this matter back when I go back, I can't be cheap Li Longji. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile, he could think of how excited Xiaobei would be when he received Li Longji's telegram, and at the same time prayed silently for Hongnong's people, hoping that they really had no handle.

If there is really a problem with the river in Hongnong's place, it will be really finished, and he will be targeted by Xiaobei's nine children, and he will not plan to have any luck at all.

Wang Juan also laughed beside him, thinking of the cute appearance of Xiaobei and others majestically 'killing' the past, he couldn't help laughing.

"It's okay, Xiaobei and they were originally Datang inspectors, and they have the right and obligation to inspect the entire Datang, and Datang has nothing to investigate, so they can't just enjoy the treatment, right?"

"How have you enjoyed the treatment, even the clothes are made by us? Wife, this shows a problem. Zhang Xiaobao pursed his lips and said.

"What's the problem?" Wang Juan asked.

"It shows that Li Longji is not easy, the emperor is not so easy to be, he always doubts this and that, there are few people around him who can really be trusted, even Li Bai and Wang Wei, Li Longji is not at ease." Zhang Xiaobao explained.

"Then let Xiaobei and them go? Is it reassuring to them? ”

"That's right, the only person Li Longji can believe in now is Xiaobei, a child, it's easy to put it away, give a candy and know that it's sweet."

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head helplessly.

Wang Juan smiled again, "Then let's see how far they can do it, it's best to kill a few people, Hongnong's people dare to do something to Xiaobei?" ”

"Hands-on? It's not a matter of killing a few people, send a telegram to Xiaobei, ask them to go back quickly, maybe after the imperial examination, we have to go back to the northeast immediately, and settle things there as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Xiaobao beckoned people to come over and send a telegram, looked at the sky outside, and said: "Junichiro Takeshita's actions had better hurry up, otherwise Jiangnan Dongdao has arranged them, and they haven't done it yet, and my arrangement is easy to be recognized." ”

Without Zhang Xiaobao's urging, Junichiro Takeshita has worked very hard, assigning tasks to Yamamoto and Yamaji, on the one hand, buying land in Datang, on the other hand, looking for someone to find out the news of the Ministry of Industry, and from morning to night, he kept inviting guests to dinner, wanting to sign the lease contract for the steam engine ship and gunboat.

The lights had already been lit, and when it was almost time to go, Junichiro Takeshita, who had been busy all day, staggered back to his place.

If you have a treat, you will drink, and you will naturally get drunk when you drink, and after a day of tossing, Junichiro Takeshita tries not to eat vegetables when eating, only accompanies the wine, waits for a meal, drinks hard, dilutes the wine in the stomach, and then spits it out, and then drinks water, otherwise the stomach hurts.

If it was tossed, Junichiro Takeshita, who had an empty stomach, did not feel hungry at all, and when he returned to the house, he only felt that his throat was hot, his head was heavy, and his eyes were as uncomfortable as if something was roasting.

"Tomorrow I won't drink white wine, only rice wine." Junichiro Takeshita muttered as he lay on the bed, rolling back and forth naked, hoping to find a comfortable position.

He used to think that he was very good at drinking, after all, the tradition of ** is not much different from **, and even the clogs he wears and the treadmill he lays are all learned from **, so Junichiro Takeshita usually likes to drink when he is **.

But there is no distilled liquor as strong as Datang, and now there is only sake, which is not a heavyweight at all.

In the past, the officials of the Tang Dynasty drank rice wine and wine, but now they like liquor, Junichiro Takeshita can't figure out which hot and spicy wine is delicious, and it is not cellared for many years, and the most drunk today is the cellar for three years, and the price is not cheap.

Muttering for a while, Junichiro Takeshita gritted his teeth and kept panting, every gasp would spit out a lot of alcohol from his mouth, there was no place on his body that was not hot, even his stomach was hot, and he wished that there was a swimming pool in front of him now, let himself jump down, it should be cool, preferably the kind with ice cubes in it.

Just when he was uncomfortable, Yamamoto also returned, also with light steps, as if stepping on clouds, and also took off all his clothes, first ran to another bed next to Junichiro Takeshita and lay down, feeling uncomfortable, and then rolled to the floor, and opened his mouth like Junichiro Takeshita to gasp.

Realizing that there was one more person in the room, Junichiro Takeshita shook his head for a while, poked his head out of the bedside, looked at Yamamoto and asked, "Are you back?" Eat, eat? ”

"Eat, eat all day, eat non-stop." Yamamoto's eyes were hazy, and his ears were not very useful, so he tried hard to understand what Junichiro Takeshita was saying, and replied.

"Then you go get some ice and come back, we'll eat, or ice cream." Junichiro Takeshita was really reluctant to move, so he had to instruct Yamamoto.

Yamamoto was not angry at all, because he was also uncomfortable, and he couldn't think of any way to solve it, when he heard that he was eating ice cream, he thought it was okay, got up, put on his clothes indiscriminately, and went out to buy ice cream.

Half an hour later, Junichiro Takeshita and Yamamoto, who had eaten more than a dozen ice creams in a row, were finally comfortable, at least their heads didn't hurt so much, and their ears no longer buzzed.

Junichiro Takeshita slowed down his eating and asked Yamamoto, "What do the people of Silla say?" Is there any talk about how much they're willing to spend on rental? How many boats are you going to rent? You drink with them for a day, and what do they ask you? ”

Yamamoto went out today to contact the Silla people, since ** also wants to rent a boat, then it is best to find out Silla plans first, and then follow and deal with it when the time comes.

Junichiro Takeshita actually asked the last question that he was most concerned about, he was afraid that if Yamamoto was accidentally asked something important, it would be troublesome, and his side would have to change his plan.

Yamamoto tried to squeeze out a smile and said: "Don't worry, I didn't reveal any news to them, but they didn't reveal anything useful to me, that is, I drank for a day, drank in the restaurant on the shore, drank when I was fishing in the river, and then went to the water to take a boat and drank again, and then went to Xiangbaige, found a few girls, and drank until I came back just now, and I didn't eat a mouthful of staple food." ”

As he spoke, Yamamoto touched his stomach with his hand, and found that he didn't feel hungry, but his stomach was cold, and there was a stream of cold water gushing up his throat, and there was a milky smell, and he bought cream ice cream, two pennies a piece, very expensive, but also very pure.

Junichiro Takeshita nodded, and said: "That's not good, it's not right for you to do this, you have to go over to them to drink tomorrow, but when you drink, you will reveal a little news to them, for example, we buy land in Datang and want to buy some more land, so that's right." ”

"Understand, when they hear that we are going to buy a lot of land, they will think that we have given up on chartering boats, and then they will lower their guard against us." Yamamoto agreed.

The two of them ate a few more ice creams, and their mouths and throats were numb and they didn't feel it, so they stopped, endured the ** that they were about to vomit, and gasped again.

At this time, Yamaji came back, compared to the embarrassment of Yamamoto and Junichiro Takeshita, Yamaji was much better, he also drank today, but he didn't drink with others, but he drank by himself, and found a few girls to accompany him, if he didn't need to come back at night to report the situation, he lived directly in the girls' 'home'.

As soon as he came back, without waiting for Yamamoto and Junichiro Takeshita to ask, Yamaji took the initiative to say: "I bought a lot of land today, or around the capital, but the price is a bit high, wait for the future to increase in value, and I'll go to see it tomorrow." ”

"Pay attention to the money you spend, don't too much, otherwise you won't be able to get it back." Junichiro Takeshita admonished, he knew the plans of Yamamoto and Yamaji, and when Yamamoto mentioned it yesterday, he was still very puzzled, why did he buy land in Datang.

Wait for Yamamoto and the two to explain, then it will be clear.

The reason is very simple, now the grain seed yield of Datang is very high, and new crops have appeared, at the beginning from the Bohai Road, and then spread to many places in Datang, although the crop has not yet begun to be planted by the people, but after all, it is new, and the taste has been tasted in the most luxurious restaurant in Shuiyun, very good.

Yamamoto and Yamaji's idea is to steal, steal the seeds of the Tang Dynasty, and now some seeds can be found in the field, but the new ones may not be like that, it may be that some officials of the Tang Dynasty will plant them first, and strengthen preventive measures to prevent themselves and others from having a chance.

Then buy more land around the capital, there is a great possibility that the seeds will be able to fly over, even if they don't fly, they can also build a shack in the ground, and then dig into the other party's land below.

Of course, this is only one aspect, and another aspect is that the land annexation of the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, and the land in the capital is more expensive, especially with the thing called the train, I think Li Longji will not be satisfied with the smooth train from Chang'an to Luoyang.

At that time, many places will also be connected to Chang'an by train, so it is estimated that the land without buildings around the capital will be covered with buildings, and it is necessary to look at things from the perspective of development, which Zhang Xiaobao has always advocated.

If you don't buy it now, and then you want to buy it when the time comes, it's not a matter of more money and less money, but whether you can buy it, it's a long-term investment, and you can't ship a lot of materials from China every time you need money.

The sulfur and silver will be dug up one day, and then there will be no more in their own country, sulfur is very important, it is the raw material used by Datang to make gunpowder, if one day their own ** also researches the production method of gunpowder, but there is no sulfur for it, then all those who support transporting sulfur from ** are sinners.

Thinking of this, Junichiro Takeshita was a little sad, because many of the mines discovered by Datang are no longer allowed to be dug up, saying that they are to be left to future generations, and they need to be transported from other places, especially by sea, even if the distance is a little farther, even if the cost is a little higher.

Datang has descendants, is there no more of his own **? Look at the silver sold, not to mention the low price, and it must be refined in Datang, and the quality must also be guaranteed.

If it continues, one day people in their own country will regret it.

"Buy, you must buy, buy and wait for their railway to open more places, transport goods and people to come and go, you can build a house in the land and rent, gentlemen, work hard for the children and grandchildren of **."

Junichiro Takeshita's gaze became firm, and he said to Yamamoto and Yamadera.

"Hi babble" Yamamoto bowed at the same time as Yamadera.

"Today, the mountain temple went to buy a lot of land, ** people, it's really too smart." Wang Juan, who was lying next to Zhang Xiaobao on the bed, looked at the ceiling and said by the hazy light of the bedside lamp.

"Yes, they now know how to play real estate, and the expectations are so accurate, knowing that my Datang train will be unimpeded, since the capital is the center of the whole country, logistics will be more developed, and when the time comes, it will be too long to install people, and naturally need the surrounding land to build new houses."

Those people who sold land, one by one, were like fools, I knew that I would buy them all in advance, but I was worried that I would buy too much land and let others suffer losses, and the result was good, cheap ** people.

No, I have to think of a way, I can't let the ** people take advantage of this, it's not a penny profit, and even in a certain situation, it can not only be measured by money, but also affect politics. ”

Zhang Xiaobao put his arm behind his head and also looked at the ceiling, angry.

He could imagine that with the development of Chang'an after the laying of the railway, it would not be surprising that by that time, the land price would be ten times more expensive than it is now.

Where there is a reference, just look at the land in Beijing at that time for him and Wang Juan, 600,000 yuan can buy a square meter, all of which are on the side, and around the second ring road, one million square meters has a price and no market.

The most important thing is that at that moment, it is very common for people to directly use all the land to make money, but to let the officials of Datang participate in the dividends, get information from the mouths of officials, and even directly ask officials to help say good things.

Wang Juan also knows the consequences, but she has no choice, if she has to find a way, that is, to directly declare that the land bought by ** people is not in accordance with the law and is nationalized, but the current Datang can't do that, unless it is during the war, otherwise it is necessary to admit the land bought by others.

It can't just tell people that ** people can't annex land, and then the officials and rich people of the Tang Dynasty don't care, right?

"Xiaobao, what do you have to do? Or will they buy the land back from their hands? They will definitely not sell. Wang Juan had no choice but to ask Zhang Xiaobao.

"Don't be so troublesome, I let their land there not work, this matter is not urgent, I will slowly arrange, I want them not only to be unable to make money from that land, but to lose money every year, now solve the problem that they want to continue to buy land."

Tomorrow the news will be released, just say that I want to try to plant new seeds in the land around the capital first, don't let us release the news, let others, after all, I can't do that, just take it as a rumor, first increase the price of the land, if the ** people sell, I will take advantage of them once, if they don't sell, then wait. ”

Zhang Xiaobao thought of a good way, laughed twice after speaking, took out his arm from the back of his head, put it under Wang Juan's head as a pillow for her, put his other hand over, and whispered: "Wife, let me tell you the story of the big bad wolf and the little white rabbit." ”

"No, I'm a lamb."

"Well, the big bad wolf ate the lamb in one bite."

"I'm a Siberian tiger."

"The big bad wolf fights, and if you can't eat it, you will be eaten."

When the sun rose in the morning, a train stopped at the platform of Wannian County, Xiaobei and his party stood in several rows, came to the car together, sat in several carriages, listened to the rumbling sound of the train, and set off towards Hongnong.

Xiaohai still looked like she didn't care about anything, Xiaozhu was still painting her there, Zhang Qiang and Zhang Gang looked at the changes in the scenery outside the window, and they were always curious.

Only Xiaoyuan's task is the heaviest, he not only has to consolidate his knowledge, but also waits for Xiaobei's dispatch at any time, who makes his future wife an idle master.

Sure enough, just after sitting in the position for a while, Xiaobei became bored, the scenery outside couldn't attract her at all, she glanced at Xiao Yuan who was sitting next to her, and said, "Xiao Yuan, do you say that the officials there in Hongnong can make mistakes?" ”

"I don't know." Xiaoyuan replied very neatly.

"Guess what." Xiaobei bumps Xiaoyuan.

"Can't guess." Xiaoyuan is still so crisp.

"Then you tell me a story, you learn a lot, you tell me to find faults." Becky changed his request.

"My story is full of faults, I won't pick on you, tell two sentences, and you can say five sentences if you find faults." Xiaoyuan is uncompromising.

"Then the two of us play chess." Xiaobei showed a pitiful look, blinking her big eyes to look at Xiaoyuan.

"Huh." Xiao Yuanxue laughed twice.

Xiao Bei flattened his mouth, pulled Xiao Yuan's arm and shook it, "Just two plates, two plates, I promise, this time my pawn won't get on the car, and my taxi won't ride a horse to your nine palaces, okay?" ”

Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and asked, "Really don't get on the bus?" Pawn or step by step? Won't take a step forward, and you'll withdraw your troops? Your cannon is no longer long-range, and can be fired from six subs? ”

Every time Xiao Yuan said one, Xiao Bei nodded seriously, looking very sincere.

Xiaoyuan then agreed, "Okay, if you don't follow the rules again this time, I won't play with you in the future, remember what you just said, and don't use it again." ”

"I really don't need to, that's too bullying." Xiaobei happily called for someone to bring the chess, and asked Xiaoyuan to sit on the opposite side, put the chess pieces, and play.

As a result, Xiaobei went down first, like three into five, Xiaoyuan Cannon two flat five, Xiaobei immediately like five into seven, Xiaoyuan Ma two into three, Xiaobei pawn seven into one, fell on his own elephant.

Xiao Yuan was stunned, raised his head and looked at Xiao Bei, "You...... Didn't you say you weren't like that? ”

"I didn't move a single one of what you just said, I walked like a pawn." Xiaobei explained aggrievedly.

"Then why did the pawn get it on the elephant?" Xiaoyuan couldn't figure it out.

"Elephant soldiers, it's so stupid, hurry down, I'll help the elephant cross the river in a while." Xiaobei looked at Xiaoyuan with a stupid expression and said.

Xiaoyuan took away his handsome very happily, and said to Xiaobei: "You won, my handsome can't think about it, and committed suicide." ”

Li Bai and Wang Wei didn't know that there was a large army behind them, which could help them deal with things, and at the same time monitor their every move.

Two people arrived at the station last night, that is, in the early hours of this morning, when there were no two o'clock, the station went directly into the city of Hongnong, after the city wall has a railway, the role is very small, fortunately, now I don't worry about others attacking, if someone can hit Hongnong, it is estimated that the water can also hit Chang'an, now not as before.

Since the two of them didn't bring anyone else, then they didn't need to reveal their identities immediately, this is the method that the two came up with last night, first low-key into Hongnong's city, and then inquire about the news in many ways to see if it can be used.

If you arrive in the early morning, it is not easy to find a place to stay, but now there is a train passing, and there is a hotel near the train station, which is not closed for twelve hours, and is specially prepared for train guests who arrive at the station at night.

The two of them found a random family to live in, willing to spend money, although I feel that the price is relatively high, but the conditions inside are not bad.

When they were on the train at night, the two of them had actually squinted for a while, and they were not very sleepy at this time, so they continued to squint on the bed, and when it was just dawn outside, they got up one after another to freshen up, retired from the room, walked on the road outside, and began to wander around, and by the way, they also found a place with more people to have breakfast.

Probably for the convenience of transporting goods by train, the road leading from here to the middle of the city was well repaired, and it could be seen that it was newly built, flat and spacious.

Li Bai and Wang Wei walked forward, and without too much effort, there was a breakfast stall in front of them that set up a shed outside, and they didn't need to look over, just smelling the smell to know that this stall made a lot of breakfast, some were fried, some were filled, and some were steamed.

The two glanced at each other, and saw that there were many people there, and the pace under their feet was enlarged, and they sped up to move over, but as soon as they arrived at the place, they heard a person who arrived first from the other side asking in a loud voice: "Why has the price of buns risen again?" One price a day? ”
