In this case, everyone here will know it at that time, but they have no other ideas, and it is very simple that such speculation is always done, even if the two countries are friendly neighbors.

"However, according to the latest news, the strength of the Han Dynasty has not been left much, in addition to the Yumen Pass of the Great Han Dynasty, other cities, including the cities of Changle Continent, are all patrols trained by them, and their main forces, the Suzaku and the White Tiger Second Army, have advanced westward to the hinterland of the Western Turks, and it is said that the Western Turks have been completely wiped out by the other side, but the news has not been confirmed."

"Judging from the current situation, Huo Gangdang is above board, at least the army they left behind, to be honest, Chai Zhewei has 10,000 people who can directly attack near Yumen Pass." Li Jing stroked his beard and spoke.

Li Shimin nodded, "But this thing still has great benefits for controlling a country." Li Shimin could see at a glance the usefulness of this thing in the sergeant's strategy, of course, not only Li Shimin, but even the rookie generals knew its role.

"This is the most important thing, we have a common strategic goal with Dahan, and we don't have to worry about our relationship in the next few decades, but it's different from other countries......" Li Jing's expression instantly became serious.

"If we have other railways that can extend to different corners of the entire Datang, not too much, one each in the north, northeast, east, and south, which means that our control over the territory of the Tang Dynasty can at least double, if my Datang territory does not expand, then the strategy proposed by His Majesty before will be implemented more safely!"

"And it's easier for people to move! The commercial circulation is more rapid, and our Datang's tax revenue will naturally increase more rapidly. Li Jing said quickly. And countries such as the most important black soil in the northeast, Murowei, and even Goguryeo are not a problem!"

"Without this, even if we take the black land, we will need to operate for at least five or six years before we can have the spare strength to attack other countries, and the expedition to Goguryeo and other countries is even more troublesome, but if we have a railway, we may only spend one-tenth of what we used to spend on this item."

"What the pharmacist said is also what I said, so, let me ask, can our eight-hundred-mile expedited service continue to support the correspondence between us and the Great Han?" Li Shimin nodded, and then pondered for a moment and asked.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Li Jing was slightly stunned.

"I talked directly with Huo Gang, through the eight-hundred-mile expedited, it will only take more than a day to arrive, we can afford this time, if we let a few people rush to Jiuquan, it will take more than a month just on the road, and we also need to maintain contact with Chang'an." Li Shimin said directly.

"There is no problem, the minister can temporarily transfer troops, so that each post station can be stationed with 10 more cavalry, so that if everyone takes turns to start, the war horses and people can get enough rest."

"Good. That's it. Li Shimin spoke directly, and the others did not object after thinking about it.

This is the fastest motion passed in the entire Tang Dynasty, and after it was passed, Li Shimin immediately began to implement the order, and about two days later, Huo Gang received Li Shimin's letter.

Opening Li Shimin's letter, Huo Gang was also a little surprised, but he read it directly, the content of the letter was simple, Li Shimin agreed with Huo Gang's opinion on building the railway, inquired about how the two sides built it, and explained the negotiations.

Although there were some surprises in the way of negotiation, Huo Gang thought about it, but it was nothing, if it weren't for the incomparably prosperous nature of this official road, so that it would have a post station every 20 kilometers at the farthest distance, such a negotiation would be a matter of careless human life.

However, the post station has already been successfully established, and each post station does not need many people, and the resident 10 people can almost be easily assigned, thinking that each post station rider only needs to run this 20 kilometers distance, and at most count the 20 kilometers of return.

This distance is not an important physical activity for the horse, it is very easy, so if it is really necessary, there is no problem in playing in such a continuous way.

Although it is not comparable to modern communication, it is extremely efficient for this era, and of course, there is another condition for such negotiations, that is, both sides must believe in each other.

Huo Gang did not hesitate, and directly wrote out all his requirements, especially the way of cooperation, etc., which were written on the letter, such as the contractor to Datang, so that Datang could earn a contract project fund, and then repay the debt.

Huo Gang also broke his heart in order to let his customers have money to repay their debts.

The letter returned to Datang in the same way, just like Li Shimin said, that is, in two days, he received Huo Gang's reply, and the study of this reply was naturally studied by Li Shimin and these ministers, because this matter is very important.

However, Li Shimin has his own ideas about the cooperation method in Huo Gangxin, and he has no objection to the establishment of a new commercial bank for the operation of the railway, with the two sides jointly supervising and operating together, and each occupying a certain amount of shares, even if the time is as high as 50 years, Li Shimin has no opinion.

The reason is very simple, the steel tracks and the train thousands of miles from Dahan to Datang are all from Dahan, and without such a long operating time, how can Dahan pay this money? Anyway, he Li Shimin must be out of the ordinary, he doesn't have to think about it to know this, this must be an astronomical number.

They couldn't even afford 20,000 Mingguang armor, let alone this thing. If the steel used to make these is forged with Mingguang armor, I'm afraid it can be forged hundreds of thousands of sets? As for the issue of making money to repay debts, Li Shimin thought about it, that money can indeed be repaid, and if the wages given are good, instead of directly levying forced labor, the entire Datang estimates that millions of laborers can be requisitioned at will.

Li Shimin has no doubts about this at all, and even if a million people earn a penny a month, 1,000 yuan a month, and 12,000 yuan a year, such a project will take at least a few years, right? What's more, how can a person make only a penny?

Li Shimin understands the wages of workers in Dahan, the most basic labor is about 240 Wen per month, if Huo Gang is willing to pay a salary according to this, then in Datang, Li Shimin gives a worker 100 Wen every month, which is already too high to be higher.

With this money, you can find countless workers who are willing to work, and one person earns 140 Wen, and one million people are more than 100,000 yuan a month. That's more than a million a year!

However, after Li Shimin thought about it again, although this money was earned, if he made this money, then Datang's share in the entire railway business bank would not be too high, so Li Shimin would rather take the project directly and invest in shares!

Don't underestimate him Li Shimin, these business things, he has let people collect a lot of new terms from the big Han lane, he has learned them all, although these terms sound straightforward at first glance, but I have to say, but to the point.

So many times, Datang has also begun to use these terms.

Li Shimin would rather pay in the early stage than increase the proportion of shares in it, as for the reason, there is no need to go into too much detail, as for where did he get the money...... It's very simple, he, Li Shimin, has no money, and the treasury has no money, don't these gate valve families have money?

I have to say that in the idea that Xia Zhu gave Li Shimin before, Li Shimin has caught a little way of thinking, my Datang Money Village has been established, and various gate valve families will inevitably exchange money tickets, they have exchanged money tickets, and the money is put in my Datang Money Village, can I use this money?

Theoretically, it can't be used, but it's not impossible, because I can lend money to the Datang court in the name of Datang Qianzhuang, and the court can directly return the interest, and then use the money to make money, as for how to repay, there is only one shareholder of Datang Qianzhuang, that is, Datang court, isn't this the left hand turning the right hand, Li Shimin said that he has grasped the essence of this.

And can those gate valve families refuse to use money tickets? It's impossible, Li Shimin has seen very clearly that they will not refuse such a convenient thing to make money.

But such a good thing, if these gate valve families want them not to stumble, but also ask them to contribute, it is actually very simple, build a railway to let them participate, the part of the shares occupied by the Tang Dynasty, and then allow these gate valve families to also occupy a part of the elements? Give them dividends!

Li Shimin didn't know how much money this railway firm could make, but he understood that it was definitely an astronomical amount, don't look at just one railway, you just consider the transportation fees of those transportation on this transportation line.

Even if the transportation fee is the same, or even a little more expensive, as long as the speed is fast enough, these merchants are willing to spend money!

So Li Shimin also figured it out, the way of contracting labor is okay, but I don't contract to make money, I don't need you to show up, but I Datang directly use these things to buy shares.

After discussing with these ministers, these ministers quickly agreed, although they represented some interests of their respective families, and this news could not be concealed, but if Li Shimin released some news, it would still be possible to keep it secret in a short period of time, of course, it would definitely be okay to keep it secret before the negotiation.

After the discussion, Li Shimin directly wrote this plan and passed it to Huo Gang, Huo Gang, who received Li Shimin's reply, opened it and looked at it, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Shimin to choose such a plan, it was a bit unexpected, it seems that people in this era can't be underestimated.

It's just that although this plan was beyond Huo Gang's expectations, if you think about it, it's not unacceptable.
