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

There is nothing in it, there are no obscure and difficult to understand sour words and elegant sentences, and there are no imaginary descriptions such as exaggerated metaphors.

Some are just clear data and well-founded analyzes and estimates.

Although people don't know much about some of these nouns, they can already understand what a railway is and what a steam train is through the introduction.

In order to allow those who have never seen trains and railways to form a concrete image in their minds, Li Su even used sketches to describe railways, trains, stations and other objects in the shareholding book.

"Is this railway really as magical as it is described in this investment book?"

"Think about it, haven't there been fewer strange objects from Lingnan in the past six months!"

"A railway is worth 500 million taels of silver. Could it be that this railway is made of gold?"

"Isn't it written in the shareholding letter that it is a road paved with iron, and it is indeed about the same price, after all, the road is [-] miles away."

"Hey, isn't this equivalent to the taxes I paid for working hard for two years! When will this thing be paid back!"

After reading the shareholding book, everyone talked about it.

"Your Majesty, my lords, my Lingnan Prefecture wants to prepare for the completion of this railway within two years.

At that time, Jingling Railway is expected to bring 800 million taels of profit every year, and it will increase year by year in the future, and it will take less than three years to recover the cost. "

Liu Lin opened the mouth and said.

"My God, the annual profit of 800 million taels will increase year by year. Doesn't this mean that this railway can be worth almost a whole year's tax!"

"Only this one railway can make such huge profits? How can we believe what you say!"

asked an official.

"May I ask my lord, if you are a businessman and you have a batch of [-] catties of goods to be transported from Lingnan to the capital, would you choose to transport them by horse-drawn carriage or by our train?"

Liu Lin asked.

"If your train transportation price is right, it's natural to use train transportation."

The official said.

"Let's assume that the freight for 100 catties is [-] taels. Do you think this price is acceptable?"

"Although the price is not low, it is indeed fair."

The official thought for a moment.

Everyone present also felt that the price was fair, even if it was transported by horse-drawn carriage, the cost would not be lower than this.

What's more, there is no need for a month to transport the carriage, but the railway only takes three days. No matter who is at such a price, they will choose the railway.

"The train we designed can carry a load of 300 million catties. If it only carries goods, this is the income of 3 taels per trip.

Calculated by running forty miles per hour, it only takes three days to make one trip.

This can earn an income of 1 taels of silver just by pulling goods every day, which is more than 360 million taels a year.

And this is just a part of our railway profit, and the main source is the business circle we build at each stop.

This is the bulk of our profit. "

Liu Lin came slowly, and introduced the plan to build the business circle of the stop to everyone present.

Everyone was dumbfounded at the various whimsical ideas in the business circle mentioned by Liu Lin.

A series of unheard-of ideas such as department stores, luxury hotels, snack streets, entertainment clubs, etc., made everyone wish they could go to the business circle to spend something now.

This sounds like a gold-selling cave.

Chapter 49

"At that time, the imperial court will calculate according to 100% of the investment, and after deducting the cost, our Lingnan Mansion guarantees that the imperial court will receive at least [-] million taels of silver in dividends in the first year.

And starting from the second year, the annual dividend will not be less than 150 million taels of silver. "

Liu Lin dropped another blockbuster.

"150 million taels! This is equivalent to the taxes of three upper-level governments! It accounts for one-eighth of the national treasury revenue!"

"With this money, our household department will greatly relieve the pressure."

Zheng Kun, Minister of the Household Department, sighed.

"Doesn't that mean that Lingnan wants to take [-]% of it! This is where the court will be placed!"

At this time, Prince Li Yan came out and said.

"That's right, it's not necessarily too little for my court to only take [-]%, at least it should take [-]%!"

Officials chimed in.

When they learned that the profits of the railway were so huge, all the officials in the temple jumped out one after another, wanting to share more profits.

"Well, my lords, the shares of this railway are to be purchased with real money. According to our estimation, the imperial court will take out two years of iron ore mining rights and land as shares, plus the people who build the railway. accounted for [-]% of the shares.

Our Lingnan only takes 500% of the shares, and the remaining [-]% ​​is to raise funds from the private sector at a price of [-] million taels with [-] taels of silver per share. "

My lords, Lingnan invested a huge amount of R&D funds in the early stage, besides, I will also invest 500 million taels of silver in Lingnan, and with the technology we provide, it only accounts for [-]%. Already quite a few.

Of course, if you feel that the imperial court can spend more money, you can also buy more shares. It is also ten taels of silver per share, and you can buy it from [-]% of my Lingnan Mansion.

As long as the court can come up with money, we will sell it. "

Liu Lin explained.

As soon as Liu Lin opened his mouth, everyone was speechless. The court really had no money.

The summer tax that has just been collected has already been planned, and almost every state capital is crying poor.

As soon as the money was collected, it was not hot, so it was going to be spent. There was no spare money to buy the shares of this railway.

After all, it will take at least two years for the railway to make a profit, and the court simply cannot afford to wait.

"Why are the iron ore, land, and folks only worth [-]% of the price? I think it's [-]%!"

Prince Li Yan said.

"That's right, Lingnan Mansion has the final say on how much the iron mines, land, and civilian husbands are worth."

Officials agree.

"My Lingnan Prefecture has already calculated the iron consumption of the entire railway.

Then, based on the current mining speed of my Dagan iron ore, the total amount of iron produced by the iron ore near the railway is estimated within two years.

Coupled with the land price and labor cost of each state, it is an estimated value.

If you adults have any objections, you can look at the data after the shareholding letter and calculate it yourself. "

Liu Lin said.

In fact, Liu Lin revised the shareholding statement overnight. As for the iron consumption of the railway, it was completely revised by him.

Anyway, it is impossible for the hundreds of officials in the court to figure out this value, it is not how he wants to write it.

The reason for doing this is because of someone sitting in the temple.

Everyone turned over and read the shareholding statement again, but in the end they were confused and didn't know whether what Liu Lin said was true or not.

"My lords, if you really don't want to take a stake in our Jingling Railway, then I in Lingnan have no choice but to ask the state capitals and vassal princes along the railway if they are willing to take a stake.

If it doesn't work, my Lingnan Mansion can barely scrape together the money by tightening my belt. "

Liu Lin said intentionally.

"Okay, let's follow what Liu Aiqing said, the imperial court will hold [-]% of the shares, and the two-year iron ore mining rights and land will be the shares."

Emperor Qian suddenly said.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Liu Lin seemed to have other ways to raise funds, and Emperor Qian opened his mouth to make a decision, everyone hurriedly agreed, for fear that the matter would be messed up.

Haggling is about getting bigger profits, not about fighting chicken and eggs.

Emperor Qian, who was sitting at the top, was very happy at the moment.

"Hey, 500%, 250% of [-] million taels, [-] million taels, it's all mine!

When the time comes to renovate the imperial garden, well, the harem should also be enriched.

It has been a long time since the defenders in Northern Xinjiang have given out rewards, so it's time to buy people's hearts. "

Emperor Qian was thinking about how to spend the money at that time.

That day, Liu Lin was brought before Emperor Qian by Pan Feng.

Liu Lin first introduced the Jingling Railway project to Emperor Qian like today.

At first, Emperor Qian was as surprised by the profits and investment of the railway as those officials in the court today.

But later, when Liu Lin mentioned that the imperial court should invest [-]% of the shares in iron ore, land, and labor, Emperor Qian's eyes lit up, as if he had suddenly grasped some blind spot.

"Liu Aiqing, I don't think these things are worth [-]% of the shares. They are far inferior to your Lingnan Mansion's investment in technology. What do you think?"

Emperor Qian gave Liu Lin a meaningful look.

"Ah? What? The value of these things has been calculated by my Lingnan Mansion, so it can't be wrong."

Liu Lin was startled and said, not understanding what Emperor Qian meant.

"I think the iron consumption of this railway is a little too little, and it can be more. Well, an extra [-]% of the share is almost the same."

Emperor Qian talked about the iron consumption of the railway, but pointed his finger at himself intentionally or unintentionally.

Liu Lin is also a fine person, so he still can't understand at this moment.

This is Emperor Qian wanting to give himself [-]% of the court's [-]% shares.

"Well, I made a mistake in my calculation. Your Majesty is really wise. I will change it when I get back."

Liu Lin hurriedly bowed and gestured with his hands, giving Emperor Qian an equally meaningful look.

The two understood each other, and completed a 250 million tael share split without any trace.

As the king of a country, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but in the whole world, there is no king.

But he didn't use the money from the treasury whenever he wanted.

The emperor has his own internal treasury, which is exclusively for his personal expenses. In recent years, the treasury has been empty, and the emperor Qian's internal treasury can even run away mice.

Emperor Qian, who has been suffering for several years, saw such a great opportunity to be greedy for ink at this time, how could he let it go easily.

So Liu Lin changed the shareholding statement overnight, and as for Emperor Qian's part, it was linked to Lingnan Mansion.

The original [-]% share capital of Lingnan Mansion has also been changed to [-]%.

Emperor Qian was not afraid that the Lingnan Mansion would not admit it. If Li Su dared to ignorant his money, he would go to Lingnan to settle accounts with Li Su and turned against him!

Because of this, Liu Lin is not worried that the negotiation will fail today.

After all, there was a traitor in the court's team, and the court was the one who was cooperating with him.

If the court officials knew about it, they would definitely exclaim:

"We've got a traitor."

Chapter 50 Waiting for the official to give them a blow

In the end, Liu Lin and the imperial court signed an equity agreement on the spot.

It is agreed that the imperial court will transfer to the mining rights of the seven iron mines designated by Lingnan for two years, provide the land occupied by the construction of the railway and provide manpower for the laying of the railway, accounting for 500% of the shares, and will not participate in the operation and management of the railway. two silver.

The mining of iron ore and the forging of rails are handled by Lingnan Prefecture.

Both parties are quite satisfied with this arrangement.

In Lingnan, Li Su had already learned about the imperial court's appointment of a new prefect in Lingnan from Pan Feng's letter to him.

When everyone in the palace in Lingnan learned of the court's move, they were filled with righteous indignation.

"Your Highness, the imperial court is guarding against us!"

"Yeah, could it be that someone has slandered something?"

"Hmph, who cares about Chen Daomin, Zhang Daomin, I, Qi Yong, only recognize people appointed by His Highness, Lao Cao, if you say a word, your position will be taken away."
