After three years of enfeoffment, the waste prince shocked the court boss

These guys are simply too well-rounded.

Wu Daoxuan, who is known as the master of both poetry and painting, Qin Yilian, a giant of Legalism, Liu Kanliang, a master of Confucianism, Zhou Tong, a deacon of military strategists, Mo Ling, an elder of Mohism, and Jiang Junchang, a former minister of the household department who has retired.

Looking at these people, Li Su's heart became active, and it seemed that the university could offer a few more courses.

These few people really liked Li Su too much.

It can fully support the prototype of a modern university.

So, next, Li Su directly discussed with Jia Xiang, Jia Siyan who should be called Principal Jia now.

Lingnan University directly added departments of literature, art, law, military, physics, and management.

The six bigwigs are the professors of each department.

Now the more Li Su looks at Jia Siyan, the more pleasing he is.

Sure enough, as the old saying goes, an old family is like a treasure.

……

Of course, Yang Sanduo couldn't hide the fact that Jia Siyan and the six big brothers came to Lingnan to teach, and he recorded all of them.

When the news of Jia Siyan's appearance in Lingnan reached the capital, Emperor Qian didn't say anything.

It is really that Jia Siyan's influence is too great. Once everyone knows about it, it will inevitably be used by those who want to.

Emperor Qian was also very surprised that Jia Siyan went to Lingnan, and even wanted to go to Lingnan to meet his teacher himself.

But fortunately, the journey is far away, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, so he didn't bother.

However, Emperor Qian was very curious about the fact that Li Su was able to keep Jia Siyan. He didn't know what method Li Su used to keep Jia Xiang.

"Those are all well-known Confucian giants, and now they go to teach in Lingnan, so Lingnan is going to be prosperous."

Leaving Jia Siyan aside, it was just that the six big brothers went to Lingnan to be teachers, Emperor Qian knew that Lingnan would skyrocket sooner or later.

"Doesn't that mean that the education in Lingnan will not be worse than our capital's in the future?"

Wang Quan echoed from the side.

"Not only is it no worse than the capital, what does the capital compare with Lingnan now?

Any one of those few can make the literary world tremble three times, and the Imperial Academy does not have such a famous teacher. "

Qiandi said with emotion.

I don't want to know, but after thinking about it, Emperor Qian finally came to the conclusion that the cultural center of Dagan would probably move to the southwest in the future.

For the students of the capital, no matter which sect these big bosses worship, they are definitely a matter of smoke from their ancestral graves.

Now that several people are gathered together, the Lingnan students are really blessed and envious of others.

Li Su, who was in Lingnan, looked at the complete set of drawings of the steam train in his hand and fell into deep thought.

This is the reward that the system gave him from Lingnan University.

"The current conditions are not enough to manufacture trains. After all, the industrial base is too weak."

Li Su sighed.

"However, the part of the steam engine can be used by the research institute for research first."

The complete steam train drawing includes the manufacturing part of the steam engine. After the research institute has figured out the manufacturing process of the steam engine, it will be a matter of course to build the steam train.

Chapter 45 Will my Lingnan Mansion be short of money?

Lingnan, the Chamber of Prince An's Mansion.

"Your Highness, the amount of the summer tax for my Lingnan Prefecture has been released, and the total amount is 1706 million taels of silver.

Thirty percent of the money given to the court has already been sent to someone. "

Liu Lin bowed to Li Su and said.

"Oh? So much?"

Li Su was surprised.

You must know that although Lingnan Prefecture had a lot of tax revenue in previous years, the annual income was only more than 100 million taels.

Now it's just a summer tax, and it actually collected more than Lingnan Mansion a year in previous years.

This number is not surprising.

"Thanks to the opening of the business route to the capital, not only Lingnan products are sold to the capital, but also merchants from other places have come to Lingnan to start trade."

Liu Lin explained.

The annual tax of Dagan is more than 200 million taels. Isn't this Lingnan Prefecture's summer tax equivalent to one-seventh of the national treasury's revenue?

When everyone in the meeting hall heard this number, they all showed joy.

"Oh, I really never dreamed that Lingnan would have what it is today.

When I came to Lingnan back then, the entire Lingnan Prefecture could not collect a tax of 1 taels. Not to mention the common people, even the government was struggling.

Since His Highness came to Lingnan, Lingnan is getting better and better. "

Cao Youde said with emotion.

"Hey, Lao Cao, our Highness is the God of Wealth, who turns stone into gold.

Back then when I was sent to Lingnan as a garrison, I couldn't even pay the soldiers' salary in time. Looking at it now, even a general of the Zhu Kingdom would not change these days. "

Qi Yong slapped Cao Youde on the shoulder and said loudly.

Li Su looked at the crowd discussing and smiling happily, and said:

"The silver in the treasury is like a stone, and only when it is spent is it called money.

So much money can't just be left alone.

Don't look at our treasury now has a lot of silver, but the money is far from enough for the next thing to do. "

Worried about the pride and complacency of the subordinates, Li Su reminded.

"Could it be that your highness has a plan in mind, and I don't know what to do next?"

Liu Lin asked curiously.

Everyone also fell silent one after another, concentrating on it.

In the past few years, they have already seen Li Su's ability to turn stones into gold. As long as Li Su asks him to do something, they will never go wrong in the end.

They only need to resolutely implement it, and they don't have to bother to think about whether it is feasible.

"How much silver do we have now?"

Li Su asked.

"There are currently about 700 million taels of silver in the account of the Wangfu, which basically comes from the sales of spirits, mirrors and other things."

Liu Lin said.

"The treasury of Fucheng is about 200 million taels, mainly due to the expansion of the old city in the early stage, which consumed a lot."

Cao Youde said.

"Is that a total of 900 million taels? It's not enough."

Li Su rubbed his chin and pondered.

"So much money is not enough? What exactly is Your Highness going to do?"

Everyone opened their mouths when they heard Li Su's words.

In their cognition, this money is absolutely enough to do anything, but it is equivalent to paying taxes for nearly a whole year, and it is not enough?

"This king wants to build a railway along the official road between the capital and Lingnan Prefecture!"

Li Su said.

"railway?"

Everyone is puzzled.

Then Li Su explained to everyone what a steam train is and what a railway is.

"What! Can you travel four hundred miles a day? Doesn't it only take three days to reach the capital?"

"If this train is used to pull goods, it can really catch up with the carrying capacity of hundreds of carriages."

The crowd exclaimed.

The blueprint of the steam train obtained by Li Su, the design specification is that it can travel up to [-] miles per hour, and if it is driven day and night, it can travel [-] miles a day.

According to the distance of [-] li from the capital to Lingnan, it really only takes three days to get there.

Although this speed is far inferior to the speed of a horse running, this train can run without sleep, and a full load of goods is equivalent to the load capacity of hundreds of carriages.

"With this train, wouldn't Lingnan's goods be continuously delivered to the capital and the state capitals along the line! This is definitely a good cargo weapon."

"Not only that, even if the people of my Lingnan Mansion want to go to the capital, they only need to sit on this train, and they can arrive there in less than three days, without the fatigue of traveling and traveling."

Everyone is in power in Lingnan Prefecture, so they naturally have extremely sharp eyesight.

Once this train is completed, it will definitely bring Lingnan to a higher level.

"I don't know how much money it takes to build a train?"

Cao Youde asked everyone's doubts.

"At least 500 million taels, not including subsequent maintenance work."

Li Su said a number, which directly made everyone dumbfounded.

Just now everyone thought that Lingnan Mansion would not be short of money if it lacks anything now, but they didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.

Twenty-five million taels, this number has exceeded everyone's imagination.

"Your Highness, with so much money, when will we get back the original amount? This amount is really too big."

Liu Lin opened the mouth and said.

"That's right, Your Highness, we won't be able to spend such a large amount of money all at once, and even if we do in the future, it will definitely hurt our bones."

Cao Youde said.

"Your worries are not unreasonable, it's just that the money doesn't need to be taken out all at once.

The construction of railways cannot be completed within a year or so. Although we have blueprints, the research and development of steam trains will take some time.

It will take at least three years before the train can be built. "

Li Su explained.

"I don't know how we can make a profit after the train is built?"

Cao Youde asked.

"It goes without saying that cargo and people are transported, you should all be able to think of them.

There is also an income, that is, a station is planned to be built every [-] miles along the line, and we only need to buy the land near the station in advance.

These lands are used to build warehouses, build inns, sell shops, and create business circles. This is our main profit point. "

Li Su said slowly.

"Building a business circle around the site? Awesome!

At that time, the land near the site will definitely be very expensive, and the flow of people will be huge.

Isn't this equivalent to building a reduced version of Lingnan City at each site! "

As expected of Liu Lin who is in charge of business, his business mind turned very quickly, and he soon realized the truth of it.

Everyone was shocked by Li Su's remarks. It turns out that the railway can still play like this.

"What's the difference between this and stealing money! It's definitely making money every day!"

Cao Youde exclaimed.

"Of course there is a difference, stealing money is not as fast as ours!"

Qi Yong told a cold joke on the side.
