Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 81 Hard to the end!

After Li Shimin came back, he immediately called for Su Feng.

"I don't say anything about paving the railways all over the Tang Dynasty now. I just want a road that can connect the north and the south, and ensure that the people in the south and the north can go wherever they want!" Li Shimin said very seriously. Seeing Su Feng said.

The urgency in the words has not been concealed...

After this trip, Li Shimin really felt the benefits of the train, which was even more exaggerated than he thought.

The benefits that trains will bring to war may actually be even greater.

Thus, his popularization of railroads and trains came to a point of great urgency.

"Huh?" Su Feng was taken aback.

He obviously didn't expect that Li Shimin would have such a request, and he was so caught off guard. You must know that laying railways and making trains is not an easy task.

This not only takes a lot of time, but also consumes immeasurable manpower and material resources. Su Feng has consumed a lot of time and money just for his own train.

to be frank.

He is really not sure that he can completely replicate a train.

The key is.

The operation of the train must rely on the railway. Even if the train has been manufactured, if the railway is not laid smoothly, all the previous preparations will be useless.

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago? Trains and railways must spread throughout the world. Now it's just connecting the north and the south. Is there any difficulty?" Li Shimin looked at Su Feng nervously.

He could feel it from the attitude of the other party, as if this matter was not as simple as he thought. For some reason, Li Shimin always had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Of course I know this, but...but the time is too short. If it is within ten years, there will be no pressure!" Su Feng has a headache, which is the trouble of not being professional.

Li Shimin only thought that once the railway was laid, it would be able to run. However, he didn't know that the terrain of the Tang Dynasty was complex, running through the north and the south, and many tunnels needed to be opened.

"I can't, I can't wait that long..." Li Shimin shook his head resolutely.

Ten years is a long time, enough time for a lot of changes.

Even Li Shimin himself doesn't know what he will be like ten years from now, let alone someone like Su Feng who has extremely powerful abilities.

"If you have any specific questions, just tell them directly. In front of me, do you still need to beat around the bush?" Li Shimin gave Su Feng a meaningful look.

He absolutely believed that Su Feng's words must be making excuses for himself.

He has only been in the north for less than a year, and he has created such things as trains and railways.

Now he just wants the same thing, how could it take ten years?
It was obvious that the other party had something to hide, so they purposely found a high-sounding reason.

"It's really impossible to manufacture it in a short period of time. Even at the fastest speed, it will take one to two years. The most important thing is that it will cost a lot of financial resources!"

"Your Majesty, think about it clearly, this is not an ordinary small project!" Su Feng sighed secretly, and said the most critical question.

In order to manufacture trains and railways, after he came to the north, most of the profits he got were invested in it, and it was barely reached the current level.

If according to Li Shimin's idea, the construction of a railway connecting the north and the south can almost be regarded as running through the whole world, and the cost is by no means a small amount.

Hearing what Su Feng said, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay to say that the problem lies in the money, and it's not impossible to discuss this matter.

What he is most afraid of is that Su Feng is unwilling to help him sincerely. After all, the train is really amazing, and the benefits it brings are far from simple as it seems.

"Just tell me how much you need!" Li Shimin coughed lightly.

At this time, he always looked at Su Feng with a weird look, and he always felt that the other party was taking this opportunity to cheat his money.

Of course, Li Shimin is also very clear in his heart that in order to achieve the effect he said, he will definitely spend a lot of money, there is no doubt about this.

"The annual income of the entire Tang Dynasty is still a conservative estimate. If there is any accident in the future, it may need to fill in more!" Su Feng looked at Li Shimin very seriously and said.

This is already his most optimistic estimate!

To know.

At the beginning, the purchase of some new weapons made the court feel that its vitality was seriously injured, so a little money was far from enough to repair the railway.

When Su Feng said this, he actually wanted Li Shimin to retreat before he knew the difficulties. These things can be done, but there is no need to be in such a hurry.

Until this time, the excitement and anticipation on Li Shimin's face completely dissipated, replaced by a long silence.

So ever since meeting Su Feng, Li Shimin felt that he was very short of money, and there were too many good things he wanted to do.

but.

Never before had he felt so impossibly poor.

Judging from Su Feng's attitude just now, he believed that the other party was definitely not joking with him, nor did he want money from the court as before.

Just imagine, if this project is really going to start, the court will need to spend a year's income. This is not a trivial matter. Back then, in order to purchase these new weapons, the ministers in the court were all arguing.

Now that he has to pay so much money at one time, Li Shimin knows what it will be like without even thinking about it.

"I'll discuss this matter when I go back. I'll give you an answer within a month at the latest!" After leaving these words, Li Shimin turned around and left.

Looking at the back of the other party who was in a hurry, Su Feng let out a long sigh.

It's not that he doesn't want to help the other party, but that his current strength is really limited.

If all efforts are made to create such a railway, it is likely to lead to the collapse of the North as a whole.

There are still many things he wants to do next, and it is impossible to give everything to Li Shimin.

if not.

My hard work for so long will be in vain in an instant.

Presumably Li Shimin also understood this truth, so from the beginning to the end, the other party never asked Su Feng for help.

but.

Su Feng can tell from the other party's attitude that this matter is likely to happen, and Li Shimin wants to fight hard to the end...
