On the one hand, Wei Ming asked Fatty Wang to establish a newspaper industry in various regions, striving to spread the country's first-hand information throughout the country, maintain the timeliness of news, and truly make the newspaper bigger and stronger. On the other hand, Li Niu and Song Yingxing cooperated with officials of the Ministry of Industry to study the construction of the railway from Beijing to Shanhaiguan. Song Yingxing learned a lot from the last incident. Now, no matter what the idea is, I have to come and consult Wei Ming. Wei Ming is very satisfied with it. The road to scientific research is very difficult. Edison, the king of the invention, has studied light bulbs through thousands of experiments, and other people who want to make successful research basically have to follow this path. Waiting for Song Yingxing to study it by himself, Wei Ming could not wait that long. Although I don't know much about the steam engine, I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run? I can always give Song Yingxing some good suggestions. This has accelerated the research on steam locomotives a lot. Now I can basically run on the rails steadily. So laying the railway is also on the agenda. Although the weather is still cold now, isn't it a waste of time to study the route and other issues until it can be laid
And Dongfang Xiaomo has truly become a god-man who has never seen the end of the dragon. After 20 days of renovation and renovation, the No. 1 Restaurant in the World has finally opened. Originally this was a restaurant, so no major changes were needed. The wealth and glory are even simpler. The Gardenia Chunhua Building where Wei Ming and Zhan Yan met for the first time was directly acquired and transformed into a wealth and glory. The Gardenia Spring Flower House is not an official brothel, but I heard that there are strong people behind it to support it. Otherwise, it would not become the first brothel in the capital. But when I heard that more powerful people wanted this restaurant, I signed an agreement decisively. Anything is easy to do with an official background. The shelf is set up, whether it is the sister of the brothel, or the patron in the No. 1 restaurant in the world, the ones who are in charge are all ready-made. However, the pillars inside are still lacking. After all, this is not really going to build restaurants and brothels. Fortunately, Dongfang Xiaomo and Zhan Yan both have a certain status in the arena. It is relatively easy to find some special agents with real talents and learning. Take Dongfang Xiaomo as an example. The people from the rivers and lakes who went to Liaoyang to rescue Wei Ming last time, as long as they didn't die there, are basically the best in the world. And Zhan Yan's situation is similar to Dongfang Xiaomo's situation. Wei Ming didn't know much about this matter, so he didn't command blindly, just remind them not to let people with ulterior motives get mixed in.
Throughout the first month, the most circulated in the capital was the first in the world, the opening of wealth and glory, and the newspaper established by Wei Ming. Time flickered, and it was almost February. The officials started to work on the 20th of the first month. Wei Ming realized that being a high-ranking official was not a good thing, so he was ready to go to work. I don't usually go to work, so there is no time limit. Since I got up late, I arrived too late. It’s not impossible to be removed by someone else and go home immediately. But who is Weihou? As soon as he entered the palace, he was led by the palace guards to the Huangji Hall.
Before entering the hall, I heard a nasty voice coming from inside.
"Enjoy the emperor, since Wei Hou came back from Liaodong, he has been arrogant and defiant. Now he has been going to court for many days. He is a heavy minister in the court. What kind of style will he be if he continues? Moreover, Wei Hou even applied for dozens of applications to the Ministry of Households? What kind of railroads are going to be built for a thousand dollars? The emperor, although the treasury is now full, he can’t help being so tossed! The emperor Mingjian, the ministers worry about the affairs of the country, and can’t sleep at night, fearing that the great country of Huanghuang will be destroyed by such a villain. , The emperor think twice!" This person looks at the official uniform he is wearing, it should be Zuo Shi Lang of the Ministry of Rites. But I don't even know this product, what's the situation? Originally, Zhu Youxiao's face was so dark that water could drip out. Wei Ming discussed with him for a long time about building the railway. Moreover, the money for building the railway is shared equally by both parties, and the shares are also half of each person. However, applying for one hundred thousand taels of silver to the Ministry of Households is really such a big deal for Zhu Youxiao, and it is really not good to have no country to join. Therefore, after discussing with Wei Ming, 10% of the shares were given to the Ming court, and the Ministry of Households required one hundred thousand taels of silver, which was just a gimmick, so as to give the Treasury 10% of the shares. Since it is not known how long it will take to build the railway, it is even more impossible to estimate the amount of investment. According to Wei Ming, this will cost six or seven million taels of investment. It takes at least three years. To be honest, even if Wei Ming and Zhu Youxiao were torn down, they couldn't get six or seven million taels of silver. What the two people think is that each person pays one million every year, and a section of the railway can be put into use after the completion of the construction. After use, the profit is also invested in the construction. In this case, in three years, you can invest almost three million taels of silver per person, and finally build a railway from Beijing to Shanhaiguan. I don't know if I don't build it, I'm surprised when I build it. It costs so much money! Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought that his annual income of several million was enough, and he didn't know how to spend the money anymore. But now it seems, hum, I can't even make a bubble of my own money on the railway. How long is this? Six hundred miles. How big is the whole Ming? If railways are laid in all places, when will they have to wait? I'm afraid I won't see it in my life. I feel aggrieved just thinking about it. Just like that, Wei Ming didn't let him go. According to Wei Ming, with our current technology, we will also build good places like plains. If you put it on the plateau or in the mountains, you can't cry even if you cry, which makes Zhu Youxiao even more shocked. Now this Wei Guangwei who doesn't understand anything dares to stand up and talk, really doesn't know how the dead words are written. Hundreds of thousands of taels? Not to mention whether Wei Ming really applied for hundreds of thousands of taels, even if it is true, brother, sevenOnly one hundred thousand taels can have ten percent of the shares! Do you think the railway is so easy to build? To be honest, the technology is not mature now, it can be said that it is to catch the ducks on the shelves, while building and groping, seven million is less said. With luck, progress will be faster. If progress is slow, everyone will have to fall on it. Zhu Youxiao now really has to consider whether it is really good to bring the entire court in. Beginning last year, the emperor’s inner palace was separated from the imperial treasury. The treasury gave Zhu Youxiao 20,000 taels of silver each year, which was regarded as a salary. No one thinks this is too much, and praises Zhu Youxiao's approach. That's it, to apply for one hundred thousand taels of silver is still for the benefit of the treasury, and there are people who stand up and chew their tongues. Zhu Youxiao really wanted to pull this money out and chop it. Insufficient successes are more than failures, except for things that do not swear. But seeing Wei Ming coming in, his face suddenly improved. He gave Wei Ming a wink and asked Wei Ming to settle the matter. Zhu Youxiao didn't understand the investment in trains, but saw that Wei Ming's investment was so large that there must be a big interest in it, so he came here to intervene. Now the money in the inner palace is his emperor's own money, even if it is ruined, no one can say anything. What's more, what can be done even if someone says something? He Zhu Youxiao is not afraid.
"Oh, there are so many people in the court, how can you run out of such a bug to disgust people?" Wei Ming said, clutching his nose and walking into the Palace of Emperors. Hearing what Wei Ming said, the generals were very happy. Even though he has been an official, if the military commander doesn't even have the heroic energy in his body, is he still a military commander? Maybe they didn't dare before, but since Wei Ming gave them a good nose, these generals did not hesitate to throw the nasty Four Books and Five Classics far away, and took up their big swords and swords again. Hearing Weiming's loss of a civil official now, of course it's bad. Although Han Xu was very disdainful of Wei Ming's vulgar language, he glanced at Wei Ming contemptuously, and he didn't stand up and say anything. Actually, although Han Xu is a member of the Donglin Party, he still has some principles in life. When Fang Congzhe, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, was rectified, he also stood up and spoke to Fang Congzhe. If he bowed his hand to Han Xuan, it was a courtesy. However, from Han Xu's performance, Wei Ming can also tell that the old boy who stood up and scolded himself should be castrated. Look at Wei Zhongxian's gloomy face again to see what's going on. But Gu Bingqian, who had already thrown an olive branch to himself in secret, pretended not to see Wei Zhongxian's eyes for him. He looked at the roof of the hall for himself, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Huh, Weihou, you are still an official in the central government, and you have a lot of foul language. This is the Palace of Emperors. You think it is your Kangtou, you can be so arrogant!" Gu Bingqian had no choice but to give it to the Five Tigers. Cui Chengxiu winked at the top. Cui Chengxiu's instructions to her foster father were always obedient, and immediately stood up and confronted Wei Ming.
"You know what a shit!" Wei Ming didn't give him any face. Since you are going to tear your skin, tear it over there. Who is afraid and who won't
