"Brother, if you build a railway in Northern Tianzhu, will the cost of a hundred miles... three million chunks be enough?"

"not enough."

Zhang De shook his head. He knew why Cheng Chubi asked this. "Han'an Line" is a model project, which not only reveals Wuhan's true strength, but also arouses the hearts of countless wealthy giants.

However, if you want to build a railway, you must not solve it by making up a few people. From the beginning of the argument to the formal start of construction, there was a distance between the "Kunlun Sea".

In terms of workers' quality alone, although the bottom of the feudal dynasty was mostly ignorant, due to the different maturity of civilization, the unlucky people of the Emperor Tang Dynasty were also more useful than the obedient people of the "Tianzhudi".

The reason is that no matter what the untouchables in the "Tianzhu" do, the first thing they need to consider is whether they have "offensive".

This is a shackle, invisible and invisible.

In many places in the "Tianzhu land", the mountains inside the Tang Dynasty also needed to support agents to obtain more "Tianzhu slaves". This is a dilemma.

You cannot have both fish and bear's paw.

If you want to replace the agent of "Tianzhudi" through violent means, you will be the new owner of the untouchables directly. This is not impossible, but what follows is either a different system or a conformity to the old Tianzhu system.

The former is expensive, while the latter is changing the soup but not the medicine.

Therefore, another important factor in the "Tianzhu slave" trade is to completely transfer the untouchables. After leaving the original land, the untouchables without their masters can only rely on themselves or group to keep warm.

Of course, the Tang people had another more efficient way, which was to slaughter all the races in the "Tianzhudi" and carry out complete genocide.

The violent machines of the Tang Dynasty in the 25th year of Zhenguan can do this, but it is meaningless.

"There is no point in building a railway now."

Zhang De said to Cheng Chubi, "If the various places in India want to have thoroughfares, they will not cost less than the Central Plains. However, the proportion of Han and Hu is unbalanced. If the railway is to be built, it will take thirty years to accumulate."

"Two generations?"

"Two generations."

Whether it is "reducing taxes" or "relocating people", they are essentially serving them.

The reason for the past ruling rule was limited by technical conditions rather than the willingness to rule. However, with the leapfrog development of road and bridge technology, coupled with more advanced communication technology and more advanced management methods, "ruling rule" is usually implemented only in areas that are abolished so much that it cannot be abolished.

Even in the Jiannan area, with the alternative outputs brought by Long Hao, Ran family and other forces, such as luxury goods, they are only satisfied with "restrained rule", which does not meet the needs of the superstructure of the empire.

In terms of luxury and squandering, it is fake to talk about meeting personal needs. For example, Emperor Li only needs a white tiger skin, but would he think that a hundred white tiger skins are too much? Even if he uses white tiger skins to polish shoes, that is his business.

For example, a new manor owner, who obviously adds one extra meal a day to the slave workers and will not lose too much, but will the manor owner mind squeezing a few more drops of the slave workers' blood and sweat?

Once the pursuit of profit becomes the ultimate goal, then all other human natures will serve it and will give in to it.

"In the past thirty years of accumulation, in addition to adjusting the proportion of Hanhu, all technical talents must be cultivated. It will take one or two years to train a qualified railway worker. However, training a supervisor who manages these qualified workers will require more than five years of new education."

Laborers who simply sell their labor can do it by simply expanding childbirth.

However, managing these workers and preventing them from being free and casual, and selling their labor on the work section in an orderly manner requires qualified grassroots managers.

Every "screw" in railway construction was not excavated from the soil of the feudal dynasty.

“Thirty years are too long.”

Cheng Chubi shook his head, "I want to find a way out for the children of the Western Army. If you don't fight for five or ten years, your life will be difficult and you will be difficult to get married."

"To build the official road at the moment, you should first build the official road. You can put it on the railway matters first, but you can do it first when surveying, mapping and demonstration matters."

After saying that, Zhang De said to Cheng Chubi again, "Within five years, try to migrate the foreign people and the Liao people, and in the old days, the people of the Western Regions will go south, which is also feasible."

"Divid the land acres?"

"We must always lure it for profit."

“Well.”

The two brothers were just discussing the specific major policies of India. This would never be possible without the support of the central government.

Moreover, after digesting the Western Regions, its functions will decline rapidly. In particular, merchants are most sensitive to grasping market laws. The profits of Shangtun are declining. Although the business of "grain exchange for production" is still underway, it is obvious that the Dunhuang Palace's demand for food is declining.

The Ministry of War had already been determined to migrate the general rear of the Western Regions from Dunhuang to Beiting. As for whether the imperial court would continue to build a palace, it is unknown.

After withdrawing from the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion, Zhang De, Li Fengjie and Cheng Chubi found another place to discuss. Li Fengjie was not very interested in the matter of Tianzhu, and what he was more interested in was that the concept of "national" had a new transformation under his promotion.

Huaiyang, the local giants in Suzhou and Hangzhou, welcome this concept very much.

It can not only weaken the imperial power, but also mobilize more low-level members to serve them.

"Brother means that it is best to make the Southeastern aristocratic people willing to invest in India and help Chu Bi from the side?"

"Although the majesty of the imperial court is good, it depends on the changes in the current situation. If an emperor is changed and the new emperor ascends the throne, it is afraid that everything will be difficult to continue. On the contrary, the Southeast clans have recovered a lot of strength. Since the change of the Yuan Dynasty, Dingkou has grown considerably."

In recent years, the population growth rate of large families in the south has been quite gratifying. If you encounter a good opportunity, you will directly expand into first-class families, typical of which is the Xu family in Huzhou.

Originally, he was a small family, but with Xu Xiaode and Xu Hui, he became a prominent family in Taihu Lake. Even the traditional eldest tribes, Shen and Yu, had a great development.

If it weren't for Li Zhi'er's slap, she would have been even more powerful.

"I'm afraid that most people are unwilling to take risks."

If you sail far away, if you don’t have enough experience, the mortality rate will be astonishingly high. During the previous exploration period, there were often nine missing ships of ten expedition teams, and the last one who could come back was astonishingly lucky.

Even after spending the exploration period and accumulating rich experience, it depends on luck. Weather, sea current, wind direction, disease... Every variable suddenly changes drastically, and it may be annihilated.

The wealthy families on the southeast coast are more cautious than the inland powerhouses because they know these things.

The ignorant is fearless, this is the norm.

The more you know, the more you become.

"Same temptation for profit."

Zhang De warned Li Feng, "Give money, people, boats, land, farm tools, and Tianzhu women... As long as you are willing to go, you can talk about anything."

In addition to these, there is something that Zhang De cannot end in person, which requires Li Fengjie.

That is the concept of "nationality". Li Fengjie said that the teenagers of the Tang Dynasty went to the sea for the sake of the Tang Empire for thousands of years, which was much more useful than Zhang De.

Lao Zhang shouted "For the Empire", which was because the attack of secondary secondary disease required electrotherapy.

Li Fengjing shouted "The rise and fall of the Emperor and Tang Dynasty, and I am the king." That is the roar of justice and the shout of loyalty...

Anyway, the difference is that there is such a big difference.

On the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and on both sides of the South Canal, Li Fengjie is a great mentor of "nationalism" and his status in the martial arts world is very transcendent.

Li Kuangren is not only good at showing off his hair and showing off his handsomeness. He also has a group of "fighting editors" and "fighting reporters" who are fearless.

"Even if this is the case, it's hard. I still need to follow up with the people from the Zuoru Academy to discuss this matter. My brother still needs to talk to the Southeast clans. If they don't let some benefits come out, they will not work hard."

To put it bluntly, the Southeast Clan, which was revived through new methods in the Zhenguan Dynasty, wanted to cut off some of their family children or have children out, but there was no enough profit. It was just to imitate the Lu family in Wuxian and split up.

But if Zhang De gives enough benefits, then there is no pressure to kill the small branches of the corpus.

"Split up the family" should die for the sake of the "Zong family", which is a natural truth.

Of course, in this process, "dividing up" may completely part ways with the "Zong family" in order to gain a way out.

But no matter what choice it is, there must be sufficient benefits.

Usually, a branch of a wealthy family who is willing to "home" in a certain place must have enough social resources to provide them with branches and leaves.

Over the years, he was at least a prefect of xx.

In other words, ordinary Bailihou cannot satisfy the appetite of wealthy families.

“I have an idea.”

When the three brothers were discussing, Cheng Chubi often listened to him, but this time, he suddenly remembered Zhang Dasu, looked at Zhang De, and then looked at Li Fengjie, "Why would you like to spread the matter of the Great 'Taba' in the Persian Gulf?"

"Um?"

Li Fengjie was stunned. He wanted to say that this was nonsense, but then he thought about it and said, "It's not unreasonable to Chu Bi's words. This move... is like a 'feudal'."
