Chapter 1721: Full of energy
Although Ye Chunqiu was generous in making moves, this is because he saw further and deeper, because the efforts he saw were rewarded.????
And now, his focus is still on building the road.
After hearing Ye Chunqiu's words, Tang Bohu couldn't help but say stammeringly: "How much money does this cost."
To build a road, the money must be costly, but Ye Chunqiu also knew that the money must be paid.
The railway is blocked, how did merchants and herdsmen enter the depths of the desert, or even keep up with the expansion of the Tatars?
The reason why Ye Chunqiu attaches great importance to road construction is mainly because he knows more than many people that the journey is a big obstacle to speeding up the development! Many things cannot be calculated. Even if the Zhenguo Mansion has lost all its money, the benefits brought to other aspects will definitely be quite large.
Ye Chunqiu did not care about Tang Bohu, who seemed to have a painful face, but said to Wang Shouren: "Brother Wang, the recruitment of the new army must be stepped up. It won't take long, I'm afraid there will be a bad battle to fight."
Wang Shouren raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't Chunqiu plan to let those Tatars be used as sharp swords? What kind of war does the new army have?"
Ye Chunqiu shook his head with a deep look and said, "There is a mountain range between the Kingdom of Naros and us. The land east of this mountain range is easy to plunder. Even if it faces the Ross people, the Tatars can definitely fight against the Ross people. But when going west, it will be a tough guy. These people may not be able to deal with easily by the Tatars. The Tatars can serve as our vanguards, but if they encounter a tough guy, they still have to come. There is no need to worry about it in the next few years, but it is hard to say in the future."
Speaking of this, he took a deep breath and looked at the two people deeply and said, "What we need to do now is to recruit people out of seclusion without any consideration. Population is the key. There are now a million Han people in the household registration, but this is far from enough. The desert is huge. Fortunately, it is a good time to attract immigrants. On the one hand, the Tatars were defeated, and outside the pass is the same as inside the pass. There is no need to worry about foreign invasions. On the other hand, we have to rely on a generous life to attract this matter. We must hurry up."
After Ye Chunqiu finished explaining, he felt a big rock in his heart. Today, with the strength of Zhenyuan Country, it is very necessary to show crazy development.
However, Ye Chunqiu's heart was too big. When he officially announced that he wanted to plan a railway running through the desert, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire Qinglong.
The railway is very expensive, which has been proven in the railway projects between Qinglong and Qinhuangdao. Such a huge amount of projects requires astronomical labor and resources. This is a railway of thousands of miles!
This kind of crazy idea is unimaginable for anyone.
This requires how much steel, how much sleepers, how much manpower is, and most importantly, how much money is.
Ye Chunqiu was indeed a little "crazy", but he had always made plans and acted, and the Engineering Bureau had already started to make pricing and planning. Half a month later, a rough fee was finally reported.
Three hundred million taels of silver.
This number is indeed amazing, but it is not impossible. The Ye family is very real and is willing to invest 50 million.
In addition to the 150 million taels of investment in Zhenguo Mansion, the remaining 100 million taels were raised from the commercial bank.
Of course, there are many things involved in this kind of thing, and of course I can't hurry up. Ye Chunqiu cares a lot about Ivan and his trends.
……………………
At this time, in the bitter cold wind, more than a thousand people continued to move eastward, and after walking a few hundred miles, they could reach the range of the Tatars.
Ivan knew this place well. He was a rare person in the Principal of Moscow who was interested in the east. When everyone was still thinking about fighting with the Principal of Lithuania, Ivan believed that the future of the Principal of Moscow lies in the east.
However, most of the troops brought by them were exhausted. They made a living by killing horses and cattle and sheep. Except for a small number of Ross, most of them maintained the habits of the Tatars.
The guide told Ivan that after passing this stretch of ice field, he could reach the territory of the Tatars. Even so, there were still few Tatars here.
Ivan just nodded. He touched his raised beard, with blood in his blue eyes, but his eyes were deep.
This was indeed a long expedition, but what Ivan thought of was that the reward would be very generous. Every time he thought of this, he began to become extremely excited.
In three days, they passed through the ice field, crossed the grassland with wind and snow, and went south a little further, the weather became warmer, and the snow on the ground had long disappeared, only a large grassland.
Of course, the grassland here is not lush, and... the water source is difficult to find. If the guide hadn't been familiar with the road, I'm afraid that they might have been trapped here long ago.
Ivan could have imagined that soon they would encounter some Tatar tribes, but the scale would not be large. Ivan would order attacks them, and then, more political issues.
He is better at politics, and there is no doubt that he is better at it.
At dawn this day, the world was still hazy, and the tent was still cold, but this small camp had begun to wake up. Ivan got up the earliest, and he was always very energetic and energetic. When he thought that he might win an epoch-making diplomatic victory here, his mood became even more excited and difficult to contain.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out.
The face of the guide who was by his side changed instantly. If you look carefully, you will see this face with Mongolian characteristics, covered with death.
Ivan seemed extremely excited and cheered up and said, "Did the Tatar horses appear? Then, there must be their shepherds nearby. Haha, it's so great. They all cheer up. It's time to give them some color."
The guide was crawling on the ground, listening quietly to the ground. Finally, his face was even pale as paper, and he looked at Ivan in horror and said, "It's a cavalry, a cavalry, a lot, there are many, this is not a horse, definitely not a cavalry..."
cavalry?
How could a cavalry appear here? It's a joke.
Ivan wanted to laugh. He felt that this guy was too nervous. He clearly remembered how brave the Mongols were when they killed the Ural Mountains to rule the Ross. But now, Ivan could almost certain that they had become cowards.
He glanced at the guide with contempt and said disapprovingly: "If it is a cavalry, then we will fight."8
