Chapter 517 Seeking Cause and Effect with Smooth Railway

Hearing what the person said, Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan, which means, look, am I right?

This is what Li Longji planned to do. Let’s take a look at the local officials of Hongnong, and by the way, check whether Li Bai and Wang Wei will really work seriously.

Xiao ^ said ^ collection ~ reading network)

What else can Wang Juan say? After returning one, it counts as your powerful expression, nodding to the person who came, and letting the person leave. As soon as this person left, another person came in. He said to the two: “Little Young Master, little lady, there is news from the palace, His Majesty said that he sent Xiao Bei and little lady to Hongnong to watch Li Bai and Wang Wei, so that the two of you don’t have to worry.”

“Got it.” Zhang Xiaobao said, when the later people also left, Zhang Xiaobao said again: “This Li Longji can’t deal with us, and he has set his target on Xiaobei and the others. Does he have this ambition? He must put the age of his opponent in ten Under the age of 2?

He also told us not to worry. Of course I don’t worry anymore. Xiaobei and the others have hundreds of guards. What am I worried about? I have to get this thing back, I can’t take Li Longji cheaply.”

Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile, he could imagine how excited Xiaobei would be when he received the secret telegram from Li Longji, and at the same time prayed silently for the people of Hongnong, Hope they really have no handle.

If there is really a problem with the river in Hongnong, it’s really over, and being targeted by Xiaobei’s nine children, don’t plan to have any luck at all.

Wang Juan also laughed next to him, thinking of the cute appearance of Xiaobei and the others ‘killing’ the past majestically, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Alright, Xiaobei and the others were originally the inspectors of Datang. They have the right and obligation to inspect the entire Tang Dynasty. There is nothing to check in the entire Tang Dynasty. You can’t just enjoy

the treatment, right?” What do we do? Wife, this shows a problem.” Zhang Xiaobao pouted and said.

“What’s the problem?” Wang Juan asked.

“It’s not easy to explain that Li Longji is not so easy to be the emperor. He always doubts one or the other. There are very few people around him who can really trust him. Even Li Bai and Wang Wei, Li Longji is not at ease.” Zhang Xiaobao explained.

“Then let Xiaobei and the others go? Are you worried about them?”

“That’s right, the only people Li Longji can trust now are Xiaobei. Children, it’s easy to pack up, give them some candy and you’ll know the sweetness.”

Zhang Xiaobao was helpless Shaking his head.

Wang Juan laughed again, “Then let’s see how far Xiaobei and the others can do it.

It’s better to kill a few people. Would the people from Hongnong dare to attack Xiaobei?”

“Do it? It’s not a matter of killing a few people. Now, send a telegram to Xiaobei and tell them to go and come back quickly, maybe after the imperial examinations, we have to go back to the northeast immediately and settle things there as soon as possible.”

Zhang Xiaobao called someone over to send a telegram again, and then looked outside. The sky was getting brighter, and he added: “Junichiro Takeshita’s actions should be quick, otherwise Jiangnan Dongdao has arranged it, and they haven’t done it yet. My arrangement is easy to be seen through.”

Without Zhang Xiaobao’s urging, Junichiro Takeshita has already worked hard. , assigned tasks to Yamamoto and Shanji. On the one hand, he bought land in Datang, on the other hand, he went to find people to investigate the news of the Ministry of Industry, and he kept entertaining guests from morning to night, and wanted to rent steam engines and gunboats. The contract is signed.

The lanterns were already on, and when it was almost midnight, Junichiro Takeshita, who had been busy all day, staggered back to where he lived.

If you treat a guest, you have to drink. Drinking will naturally get you drunk. After a day of tossing, Takeshita Junichiro tries not to eat vegetables when he eats, only drinks with him, waits for a meal, drinks water hard, and dilutes the wine in his stomach. Then spit it out and drink water again, otherwise the stomach will hurt.

As he struggled, Junichiro Takeshita, who had an empty stomach, didn’t feel hungry at all. When he returned to the room, he only felt that his throat was burning, his head was heavy, and his eyes were uncomfortable as if something was roasted. What’s more, when you drink, you can’t take a sip and immediately go out and spit.

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

He used to think that he could drink very well. After all, Japanese traditions are not much different from those of China. Even the clogs he wears and the tata rice he wears are all learned from China, so Junichiro Takeshita also likes to drink when he is in Japan.

But Japan doesn’t have such strong distilled liquor as Datang, and now there is only sake, which is not a heavyweight at all.

In the past, officials in the Tang Dynasty drank rice wine and wine, but now they like white wine. Junichiro Takeshita couldn’t understand, what is good about hot wine, and it is not cellared for many years. Today, the most drink is three years of cellaring. Yes, the price is not cheap.

After muttering for a while, Junichiro Takeshita gritted his teeth and kept gasping for breath. Every time he took a breath, he spit out a lot of alcohol from his mouth. There was no part of his body that was not hot, even his stomach was warm. There is a swimming pool in front of you, let yourself jump in and get cool, preferably one with ice in it.

Just when he was feeling uncomfortable, Yamamoto also came back. His footsteps were also light, like stepping on a cloud. He also took off all his clothes and ran to the other bed next to Junichiro Takeshita to lie down, feeling uncomfortable. Comfortable, he turned to the floor again, and opened his mouth to pant like Junichiro Takeshita.

When he found that there was one more person in the room, Junichiro Takeshita shook his head for a while, put his head out of the bed, looked at Yamamoto and asked, “I’m back? Eat, have you eaten?”

“Eat, I’ve been eating all day. Keep eating.” Yamamoto’s eyes were hazy, and his ears were not very useful. He tried hard to understand what Junichiro Takeshita said, and replied.

“Then you can go get some ice and come back, we can eat it, even if we have ice cream.” Junichiro Takeshita was really reluctant to move, so he had to instruct Yamamoto.

Yamamoto wasn’t angry at all, because he was also uncomfortable, and he couldn’t think of a way to solve it. Hearing 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.

After half an hour, Junichiro Takeshita and Yamamoto, who had eaten more than a dozen ice creams in a row, finally felt comfortable, at least their heads didn’t hurt so much, and their ears stopped buzzing.

Junichiro Takeshita slowed down and asked Yamamoto, “What did the people in Shilla say? Did they say how much they would pay to rent? How many boats did they plan to rent? You accompany them to drink for a day, and they all asked. What’s wrong with you?”

Today Yamamoto went out to contact the people of Silla, and since Japan also wants to rent a boat, it is best to figure out Silla’s plan first, and then deal with it accordingly.

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

Yamamoto tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t reveal anything to them, but they didn’t reveal anything useful to me either. They just drank for a day at a restaurant on the bank, and fished by the river. I drank it when I was in the water, then went to the water to take a boat and drank again, and then went to Xiangbaige, found a few girls, and drank it until I came back just now, and I didn’t eat a single bite of the staple food.”

Yamamoto said, and touched it with his hand .

I found that I couldn’t feel hungry, but it was cold in my stomach. There was a cool water rushing up my throat, and it smelled of milk. He bought cream ice cream, two cents a piece, which was very expensive, but Also very pure.

Junichiro Takeshita nodded and said: “That’s not good, you’re wrong, you have to go and find them to drink tomorrow, but give them some news when drinking, for example, we bought land in Datang, and want to buy more Part of it, that’s right.”

“Understood, when they heard that we were going to buy a lot of land, they would think we gave up on leasing the boat, and then lowered their guard against us,” Yamamoto agreed.

The two of them ate a few more ice-creams, and their mouths and throats were numb, so they stopped, endured the urge to vomit, and gasped again.

At this time, Shanji came back. Compared with the embarrassment of Yamamoto and Takeshita Junichiro, Shanji was much better. He also drank today, but he didn’t drink with others, but he drank by himself. He also found a few girls to accompany him. If he didn’t need to come back at night to report the situation, he would just stay at the girls’ ‘home’.

As soon as he came back, without waiting for Yamamoto and Takeshita Junichiro to ask, Shanji took the initiative to say: “I bought a lot of land today, but it’s still around the capital, but the price is a bit high, I’ll wait for it to increase in value later, I’ll take a look tomorrow. ”

Be careful not to spend too much money, otherwise you won’t be able to get your money back.” Takeshita Junichiro warned, he knew what Yamamoto and Shanji planned. Datang buys land.

It was clear after Yamamoto and the two explained it.

The reason is very simple. Now the yield of grain seeds in Datang is very high, and new crops have appeared. At first, they appeared from the Bohai Road, and then spread to many places in Datang, although that crop has not yet been established. I started to let the common people plant it, but it is new after all, and the taste has been tasted in the most luxurious restaurant in Shuiyunjian, and it is very good.

The idea of Yamamoto and Shansi was to steal and steal the seeds of the Tang Dynasty. Now some seeds can be found in the fields, but the new ones may not be like that. It may be that some officials of the Tang Dynasty will be planted first, and preventive measures should be strengthened. Don’t let yourself wait for others to have a chance.

Then buy more land around the capital, there is a high possibility that the seeds can fly over, even if they don’t fly, you can build a shack in the ground, and then dig into the other party’s field below.

Of course, this is only one aspect, and another aspect is that the land acquisition in Datang is now very powerful, and the land in the capital is more expensive, especially when the thing called train is connected, I think Li Longji will not be satisfied with the journey from Changan to Luoyang. Trains run smoothly in both places.

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. It is necessary to look at things from the perspective of development. This is what Zhang Xiaobao has always advocated.

If you don’t buy it now, and you want to buy it later, it’s not a matter of more money and less money, but whether you can buy it or not. It’s a long-term investment, and you can’t ship it from Japan every time you need money. Plenty of supplies.

The sulfur and silver will eventually be dug out one day, and then the country will be gone. The sulfur is very important. It is the raw material for the Tang Dynasty to make gunpowder. But there is no brimstone, and all those who support the shipment of brimstone from Japan are sinners.

When he thinks of this, Junichiro Takeshita is a little sad, because many of the mines discovered by the Tang Dynasty are no longer allowed to be dug. They say that they are to be left to future generations. A little further, even if the cost is a little higher.

Datang has descendants, so don’t they have their own Japan?

Look at the silver that sells, not to mention the low price, and it needs to be refined in Japan, and the quality must be guaranteed.

If it continues, the people of my own country will regret it one day.

“Buy, be sure to buy, buy and wait for them to have more places for the railway to connect, and after the transportation of goods and people’s exchanges will be more, you can build a house on the ground and lease it, gentlemen, work hard for the descendants of Japan. .”

Takeshita Junichiro’s eyes became firm, and he said to Yamamoto and Yamaji.

“Hi” Yamamoto and Yamaji bowed at the same time.

“Today, Shansi went to buy a lot of land. The Japanese are really smart.” Wang Juan, who was lying on the bed next to Zhang Xiaobao, looked at the ceiling by the dim light of the bedside lamp.

“Yeah, they know how to play with real estate now, and their expectations are so accurate. They know that my Datang train will be unimpeded. Since the capital is the center of the whole country, the logistics will definitely be more developed. Naturally, the surrounding land is needed to build new houses.

Those land sellers are like idiots. If I knew this way, I would buy them all in advance, but I am worried that if I buy too much land, others will suffer. The loss, the result is good, and the Japanese are cheaper.

No, I have to find a way not to let the Japanese take advantage of this, it is not a profit of a penny, and even in some cases, it can not only be measured by money, but also affect politics.

Zhang Xiaobao put his arms behind his head and looked at the

ceiling, full of anger.

He could think of the development of Chang’an after the laying of the railway. By that time, it would not be surprising that the land price would be ten times higher than it is now.

There is a place for reference , just look at the land he and Wang Juan had in Beijing at that time. 600,000 yuan could buy one flat, and they were all on the side. Around the second ring road, one million yuan and one flat were worthless. The

most important thing is that when the Japanese arrive At that moment, instead of directly using all the land to make money, it was common for officials of the Tang Dynasty to participate in dividends, get information from the officials, or even directly ask the officials to help them say good things.

Wang Juan also knew that Consequences, but she has no choice. If she has to find a way, it is to directly declare that the land bought by the Japanese is not in compliance with the law and nationalize it, but the current Tang Dynasty cannot do that, unless it is during the war, otherwise You

have to admit that the Japanese bought the land.

You can’t just tell them that the Japanese can’t annex land, and then the officials and wealthy people of the Tang Dynasty will ignore it, right?

“Xiaobao, what can you do?

Is it to buy the land from their hands again?

They will definitely not sell.

Wang Juan had no choice but to ask Zhang Xiaobao.

“Don’t be so troublesome, I will make their land useless, this matter is not urgent, I will make arrangements slowly, I will not only make them unable to make money from that land Instead, they lose money every year, and now they need to solve the problem of continuing to buy land.

When the news is released tomorrow, it is said that I will first try to plant new seeds in the land around the capital. Don’t let us release the news and let others. After all, I can’t do it like that. It’s just a rumor, and the price of the land will be raised first. , If the Japanese sell it, I will consider them to take advantage of it once, if not, just wait.

”

Zhang Xiaobao thought of a good way. After he finished speaking, he laughed twice, took out his arm from behind his head, put it under Wang Juan’s head as a pillow, put his other arm around her, and whispered, “Wife, Let me tell you the story of the big bad wolf and the little white rabbit.”

“No, I’m a lamb.”

“Okay, the big bad wolf ate the lamb in one bite.”

“I’m a Siberian tiger.”

“Big If the gray wolves fight, they will eat if they can’t eat them.”

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, and sat in several places. Inside the carriage, listening to the rumbling sound of the train, they set off towards Hongnong.

Xiaohai still looked like she didn’t care about anything. Xiaozhu was still painting her paintings there. Zhang Qiang and Zhang Gang watched the changing scenery outside the window and were always curious.

Only Xiaoyuan has the most important task. He not only has to consolidate his knowledge, but also wait for Xiaobei’s dispatch at any time. Who makes his future wife a restless master?

Sure enough, just sitting in the seat for a while, Xiao Bei became bored, the scenery outside could not attract her at all, glanced at Xiao Yuan who was sitting next to him, and said, “Xiao Yuan, do you think the officials at Hongnong can have Made a mistake?”

“I don’t know.” Xiaoyuan answered very neatly.

“Take a guess.” Xiaobei touched Xiaoyuan.

“I can’t guess.” Xiaoyuan was still so straightforward.

“Then tell me stories, you have learned a lot, and you tell me to pick faults.” Xiaobei changed a request.

“My story is full of faults. I won’t give you a choice. If I tell you two, you can tell five when you pick faults.” Xiaoyuan did not compromise.

“Then we two play chess.” Xiaobei showed a pitiful look and blinked her big eyes to look at Xiaoyuan.

“Haha.” Xiaoyuanxue laughed twice.

Xiao Bei’s mouth was flat, pulling Xiao Yuan’s arm and shaking, “Just two sets, two sets, I promise, this time my little pawn won’t get on the bus, and my taxi won’t jump to your nine palaces on horseback, Are you alright?”

Xiaoyuan thought for a while, and asked, “I really don’t get on the bus? The pawn still walks step by step? If you won’t go one step forward and finish, you call Jin Jin to withdraw your troops? Your guns are no longer long-range, you can Calling with six sons?”

Every time Xiaoyuan said one, Xiaobei nodded earnestly, 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 said just now, don’t use it again.”

“It’s really not necessary, that’s too bullying. Come on.” Xiaobei happily called someone to bring chess, and asked Xiaoyuan to sit opposite, put the pieces on, and play.

As a result, Xiaobei went down first, the elephant went three into five, Xiaoyuan artillery two leveled five, Xiaobei immediately went five into seven, Xiaoyuan horse two into three, Xiaobei died seven into one, and fell on his own elephant.

Xiaoyuan was stunned, raised his head and looked at Xiaobei, “You…Didn’t you say you’re not like that?”

“I didn’t move a single one of what you said just now, and I walked like an elephant and a pawn.” Xiaobei explained aggrievedly.

“Then why did the pawn get the elephant?” Xiaoyuan couldn’t understand.

“The elephant soldier is so stupid, come down quickly, I will help the elephant cross the river in a while.” Xiaobei looked at Xiaoyuan and said with a silly expression.

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

Li Bai and Wang Wei did not know that there was a large army behind them, they could help They handle things and at the same time monitor their every move.

The two of them arrived at the station last night, that is, before midnight this morning, and the station directly entered the city of Hongnong. After the city wall has a railway, the effect seems to be very small. Fortunately, I don’t worry about it now. Others attack, if someone can hit Hongnong, it is estimated that they can hit Chang’an along the water. Now it is not as good as before.

Since the two of them didn’t bring anyone else, they didn’t have to reveal their identities immediately. This was the solution the two of them came up with last night. First, they entered the city of Hongnong in a low-key manner, and then inquired about the news from various sources to see if they could. Can’t be used.

Arrived in the early morning, if it is replaced by usual, it is not easy to find a place to live, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com now has a train passing by, and there is a hotel near the train station, which is not closed for twelve hours, especially for train guests who arrive at the station at night.

The two of them found a house to live in casually, and they were willing to spend money. Although they felt that the price was relatively high, the conditions inside were not bad.

When they were on the train at night, the two of them had squinted for a while, and they weren’t very sleepy at this time. They continued to squinting on the bed until it was just dawn outside. On the way outside, I started to hang out, and by the way, I also found a place with many people to have breakfast.

It may be for the convenience of train transportation of goods. The road from here to the middle of the city is well built. It can be seen that it is newly built, flat and spacious.

Li Bai and Wang Wei walked forward. They didn’t take too much time. There was a breakfast stall with a shed outside. You don’t need to go to see it. You can tell that there are many kinds of breakfast in this stall just by smelling it. There are fried, stuffed, and steamed.

The two looked at each other and saw that there were quite a few people there. The pace of their feet increased a little, and they accelerated to get closer, but just after arriving at the place, they heard a person who came first from the other side and asked loudly: “Baozi Why has the price of the product increased again? One price per day?”
