Chapter 810 Not Just Talking
For these young people's ideas, the old school businessmen did not express support.
Because they know the horror of Ying Yu, they don't want to take the risk of confronting Ying Yu.
When they heard that the juniors had really decided to do this, everyone shook their heads and sighed.
"This matter is absolutely unacceptable. If you really dare to act like this, it will definitely bring disaster to the entire business world."
This is an old man over sixty years old. He has experienced almost everything after the establishment of Daqin.
All kinds of incidents made him understand that His Majesty the Emperor of Daqin is definitely a person not to be provoked.
Needless to say, in his capacity, it would be effortless to crush a group of businessmen to death.
Even without this status, there is probably no one in the world of Great Qin who is his opponent.
So after so many years of experience, he has learned to stick to a belief, no matter what he does, he can't be an enemy of Ying Yu.
It's just that after the old businessman put forward his opinion, what he got in exchange was ridicule from the young businessmen.
They all thought that the old businessman was too old and had lost all his former vigor.
Before Ying Yu did anything, they were already scared like this.
When the old businessman saw a group of young businessmen, he didn't feel remorse at all, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
He knew this, and it was impossible to persuade him to come back.
What he can do now is to withdraw from this group, and it is wise to protect himself wisely.
There are not many people who have the same idea as him. The elderly businessmen all know how powerful Ying Yu's methods are.
So they are all willing to suffer from this dumb loss.
It is better to suffer a loss than to lose your life.
Now that he has chosen to suffer this dumb loss.
No matter how much money this railway costs, they can only offer it in full.
As a result, these merchants have since divided into two factions.
Some old businessmen who are old, they choose to acquiesce in this matter, as long as they can keep their business, the money can be earned back when it is gone.
But another group of young and newly promoted businessmen thought that this matter was clearly Ying Yu's intention to trouble them.
If they accept it this time, they will definitely suffer more oppression in the future.
They are too clear about this kind of routine.
Because they are in the land of the Mauryan Dynasty, they are doing this kind of thing every day.
So they know better how to face and deal with such things, that is, to refuse and resist from the beginning.
So they strengthened their minds and couldn't suffer from this dumb loss.
Even if the emperor wanted businessmen to spend money to build railways, he needed to come up with a legitimate reason.
Just because you are the emperor, you can't let us obediently pay for it.
The party broke up badly.
The old businessmen have a lot of wealth in their hands.
However, because of the support of some policies, the businessmen of the new faction have more advanced knowledge.
Although their accumulation is not as strong as that of the old-school merchants, they also occupy a relatively large share of the Maurya Dynasty market.
Therefore, between the two factions, it cannot be said that there is a [-]-[-] system, but at least [-]-[-] can be divided.
The decisions of the businessmen are naturally made in private and cannot be made public.
Ying Yu had already anticipated these things.
Ying Yu has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he understands human nature and human heart better.
So he also knew that when he issued such an order, the merchants of the Maurya Dynasty would definitely have different ideas.
But no matter what their thoughts are, it is not important to Ying Yu.
This matter needs to be struck while the iron is hot. Immediately after the first imperial decree was issued, Ying Yu sent people directly to the Maurya Dynasty.
Although it is said that the railway planning and so on are not ready yet.
But the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. This is also common sense.
The construction of the railway was originally not in a hurry, but the capitalists in the Mauryan Dynasty area must be rectified immediately.
So what Ying Yu wanted was to collect the money first, and as for the construction of the railway, he was not in a hurry.
And this time the person Ying Yu sent was none other than Feng Jie.
After Feng Jie lost to Chen Ping in the last competition.
For this reason, he was troubled for a while. After all, although he lost to Chen Ping, he was not crushed miserably.
It's just that compared with Chen Ping's ability, there is still a slight gap.
Today he received Ying Yu's imperial decree, and he himself felt a little puzzled, because such an event must be a big event.
He didn't expect Ying Yu to hand over the matter to him.
But after knowing this matter and thinking about it carefully, he can also figure out the reason behind it.
So Feng Jie immediately made preparations and set off immediately to the land of the Maurya Dynasty.
At the same time, Ying Yu also called the Director of the Scientific Research Bureau and other relevant high-level officials.
Ying Yu said that he wanted to overhaul the railway, not just talk, but action.
The matter of building railways across the country is very big, and it must be treated with caution.
After Ying Yu put forward his idea, he sat aside.
Gong Shujie, with several high-level officials from the Science and Technology Bureau, studied for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that Ying Yu's proposal was feasible.
It's just that if this matter is to be realized, it may not be so simple.
The construction of railways requires a lot of steel, and there are many mountains and rivers in the places they pass.
If you want to bypass these places, the cost will only be higher.
But if you want to go directly through these places, open holes when encountering mountains, and build bridges when encountering water, the cost required for this is also not low.
All these things need to be considered comprehensively. They told Ying Yu their thoughts, and Ying Yu responded immediately.
These problems do exist, but there is no urgent need to build railways.
Now it's just a matter of identifying an available solution.
This plan is for Ying Yu to show to the merchants in Peacock Land, so that they will know how to take money when they see this plan.
So in a sense, the more expensive the current planning, the better.
The people from the Scientific Research Bureau immediately understood what Ying Yu meant, so they made preliminary calculations based on the current conditions.
If you want to realize Ying Yu's plan and let all counties and counties in Daqin have access to trains, you need to build bridges and drill holes.
Although Daqin already has a steam excavator, in some places such a large machine cannot participate, and the labor cost required is unimaginably high.
After careful research, everyone believed that if such a large project was to be built, it would be equivalent to rebuilding the Great Wall.
The construction of the Great Wall is a bit too sensitive for the people of Daqin.
