Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

But when all this was vividly presented in front of their eyes, everyone was shocked besides being shocked, and couldn't think of other related adjectives at all.

After boarding the train from Quanzhou to Nanjing, Li Chengyan pointed to the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window and said, "Everyone, this is the train that Li told you about before.

Everyone is also a sensible person. After having this thing, what kind of benefits will it bring to a country? I think everyone knows it in their hearts, right? "

The envoys in the carriage couldn't help but nodded, expressing their approval of Li Chengyan's statement.

Just like Emperor Chongzhen would never underestimate a person who is in a high position, even if this person is greedy and stupid-in fact, it is impossible for a real idiot to be in a high position.

What are the benefits of the train? These human envoys can figure it out as long as they think about it a little bit. There is no need for Li Chengyan to explain in detail.

Seeing everyone nodding, Li Chengyan smiled and said: "Since everyone knows, then Li will not say more. What Li wants to say now is about the construction of the railway in your middle school.

The benefits of the railway are great, but the cost is definitely not low. In addition to the support of a large amount of wealth, it also requires a large amount of labor support, otherwise it will not be a matter of time to repair the railway. "

Angelo von Caxton nodded when he heard the words: "This is understandable. After all, this thing is so advanced, it should be more expensive."

As soon as Caxton's words fell, the envoys of other countries in the carriage couldn't help but stare at him.

However, in the end, it was nothing more than glaring, no matter how resentful they were in their hearts, no one showed the slightest bit on their faces.

Caxton is an envoy of the Holy Roman Empire, and has an inexplicable relationship with Ferdinand III, which means he has a relationship with the Ming Empire.

Therefore, it is not acceptable to express hatred directly.

Caxton continued, "I just don't know how much it will cost to build such a railway?"

Li Chengyan shook his head and said: "The specific cost needs to be calculated by the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Industry, but Li is not clear, he only knows that it is absolutely indispensable.

What I want to remind you now is about the cost.

Since the cost is huge, and your country wants to build a railway, then you should carefully consider Mr. Li's proposal—lease the management right of the railway, or use mines and customs duties as collateral.

If you lease the management rights of the railways, Daming will pay for the repairs of the railways in your countries, but within 50 years after the construction is completed, the management rights will belong to Daming, and the pricing power will also be the same.

If mines and tariffs are used as guarantees, in addition to the normal principal, an additional amount of interest needs to be paid, and Daming will start mining after the mines in your country have gone through the mortgage process.

How to choose, Li will not say more, it is all up to you to choose. "

Caxton laughed and said: "How to build the railway of the Holy Roman Empire, or in what way, the Grand Duke of Bavaria has given clear instructions, and it is completely in accordance with the requirements of the Clan House.

That is to say, I came here this time only with my eyes and ears, and told what I saw and heard, and told His Majesty Emperor Ferdinand and the Grand Duke of Bavaria back home, and I don’t have to think about other things. "

Now the people in the carriage are not just glaring, many people have already started to curse in their hearts.

Who is the Grand Duke of Bavaria?The third prince of the Ming Empire!

The Grand Duke of Bavaria gave instructions?Ferdinand III fully supported the Grand Duke of Bavaria?

Then what the hell is it? It's your own family's business, of course it's how you come!

As for people like myself, look at the conditions Li Chengyan said, 50 years of management rights or mines and tariffs?

Who can guarantee how much profit 50 years of management rights can bring?As for mines and tariffs, that's even harder to say!

No matter which of these two conditions, it is enough to cause a headache, and now let me choose?

How to choose?

If you choose well, you will be able to explain it when you go back. If you don’t choose well, will you be blamed after you go back?

However, no matter how you think about it, it is actually useless, time will not stop, and the matter of building railways for various barbarian countries will not change. Those who should lease out management rights still need to lease out management rights, and those that should be mortgaged guarantee Still need a mortgage.

In short, the Ming Empire has gained enough advantages in this plan.

After pondering for a long while, Emperor Chongzhen said: "The situation of the mine auction this time is theoretically enough to support the plan to build a railway in Europe.

But at the same time, Daming now also needs to escort these businessmen's business activities in Europe. Looking back at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, as well as the Governor's Mansion of England and the British Government, they all have to pay attention. "

After Zhang Zhiji bowed and responded, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Now that England has completely calmed down, the main follow-up targets are France and Spain.

There is no need to worry about Spain, Tang Wang will take action against them, and the equipment and supplies that Daming should provide have already been provided, so there is no need to worry about other things.As for France, we still need to find a way to suppress it. "

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, France is currently in civil strife. I, Ming, can support both sides, and let them continue to be chaotic?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile and said: "Where are you going now? Don't forget, it was mentioned in the Jinyiwei's information before that France has sucked blood from Europe for hundreds of years, and a lot of wealth has been gathered in the French. hands."

Talking about other things with these old foxes in the court is of no use, it is still the most affordable real money - anyway, it is not from his own family, and Emperor Chongzhen doesn't feel bad at all with the wealth of the French people.

It's just that the ministers in the court have also learned badly, and they are no longer the simple ministers of the past...

Zhang Zhiji bowed and said, "If you simply look at the sea route, the fastest sea route from England to France is far more convenient than going to France from the Suez Canal.

If you want to use troops against France, it is more convenient to recruit troops directly from the English islands.It's just that the land of England is waiting to be done, and even the immigration has not been completed. At this time, it is obviously impossible to recruit troops from the English islands.

Therefore, the minister thought that it would be better to wait for a while, and after the situation in England and Bavaria stabilized, he would raise troops in one fell swoop, attack France on both sides, and directly destroy the country? "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is true."

Although Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to kill France directly, and then completely wipe out the whole of Europe, Emperor Chongzhen knew in his heart that such a thing could not be rushed at all.

You can't eat a fat man.

……

Ferdinand and Innocent felt that the two people added up to two bites, and they should be able to eat a fat man.

More importantly, now not only the two have adopted a cooperative attitude, the third prince of Ming Dynasty has also become Ferdinand's son-in-law, the Grand Duke of Bavaria of the Holy Roman Empire, and a strong candidate for the next Holy Roman Emperor.

This is tantamount to binding the Holy Roman Empire and Ming Dynasty together, and his courage has grown even more.

Ferdinand III finally couldn't hold his breath. Seeing that Innocent had been silent, he couldn't help but speak first: "What does the Holy See say about this action?"

"The church, the church! Don't dare to mention the Holy See!" After first correcting Ferdinand's statement, Innocent continued: "The church has nothing to do now, and even wants to send troops directly to help Holy Rome." Empire is unlikely."

Seeing Ferdinand looking at him curiously, Innocent said distressedly: "Do you know how many excommunication orders have been issued by the church recently? Ten! Ten excommunication orders!"

After a self-deprecating smile, Innocent continued: "If nothing else happens, I am probably the pope who has issued the most excommunication orders in the history of the church. No one has issued more orders than me before, and it is estimated that there will be no more orders in the future." There is.

The problem now is that many people apparently don't care about the church's excommunication. "

Ferdinand nodded and said, "It's quite normal. In the past, there were orders for both parties, so they would naturally side with the church.

Now that the church has completely fallen to Daming, in some respects it is tantamount to standing against them, so it is strange that they can still support the church. "

Innocent sighed and said: "Yes, the truth is such a truth, everyone understands it, but no matter who it is, I'm afraid it's not so easy to accept.

Especially now, look at what they've done?Sending people to Daming under the guise of investigation, and then waiting for Daming to repair the railway for his country, but being hostile to the two of us, is simply unreasonable! "
