"Hmm, yes, indeed, we must first build the railway tracks!"
Ying Zheng agreed with conviction and nodded, coughing lightly, "Ahem..."
The ministers immediately understood, quickly returned to their positions, and the blueprints were handed back to Jing Fu, placed on the dragon table!
"As you, esteemed audience of ministers, can all see, once it is built, it can travel a thousand miles in a day, capable of transporting troops, supplies, and goods, benefiting both the nation and the people...!"
Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne and repeated all the advantages of the train explained to them by the little boy.
"The railway business is a long-term investment. As long as the court exists, the railway can continue to make money. Since the railway tracks need to be continuously built, we may not see much profit in our generation, but it will definitely benefit future generations. Everyone can consider registering with Minister Zhang if they want to invest!"
"What the young master has researched shouldn't be wrong!"
"I agree. Who could have imagined the distillery being so popular? Wang Ben and the others made a fortune from it!"
"No matter what you guys say, I'm going to invest in this. Luckily, I have some extra money at home that will eventually be spent by those wasteful people in my family. It's better to put it into the railway, so there can be some returns in the future. Even if future generations don't succeed, at least they won't starve!"
"Hmm, well said!"
……
Just as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the ministers started whispering to each other.
"I, this young master, will invest 9 million gold, and take a 30% stake!"
As everyone was discussing, a soft and gentle voice of a young boy echoed in the hall, immediately silencing everyone and drawing all the attention towards him.
Even Ying Zheng and Wang Ben were extremely surprised!
Didn't this guy just invest four million in Qianzhuang? How does he still have so much money to invest in railways?
How much money did this guy earn in a year?
"The court will also contribute nine million gold coins and occupy 30% of the shares, you can decide how to distribute the rest!"
As the emperor, Ying Zheng certainly couldn't show weakness. He raised his hand and said."
The court definitely won't provide 30 million alone to build the railway, but a few million is still possible!
"The young master owns 30% of the shares, Your Majesty owns 30% of the shares, and we will lose our shares if we don't take action now!"
"Well, both the young master and the Emperor have invested so much, so this deal can't go wrong!"
"Exactly! Opening a distillery or something like that doesn't cost much at all. We don't even have the chance to invest. If we don't seize the opportunity with the railway soon, we won't have a chance to make money!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we must seize the opportunity!"
"Your Majesty, as a humble minister, I have a limited amount of wealth. Would it be possible to receive a loan of 20,000 gold?"
After considering the situation, the group of ministers, one of whom posed a tentative question.
This 20,000 is nothing compared to the 9,000,000 of Xiaogongzi, I don't know if they care or not!
"Why not? It is more than enough even if it's just 2,000 gold, haha!"
The expression on Ying Zheng's face brightened with delight as he saw someone willing to invest.
"Two thousand is acceptable?"
Hearing this, some ministers who were standing behind immediately lit up.
They held lower official positions and had lower salaries, so they thought they had no share in the investment and could only watch others get involved.
I didn't expect that even the noble ladies could invest?
"Your Majesty, I will invest ten thousand gold!"
"I will also invest ten thousand gold!"
"I will invest five thousand!"
"I will invest three thousand...!"
All the ministers in the hall raised their hands, competing eagerly to invest.
Previously, Ying Zheng was worried that no one would join, and it would be too difficult for them to build the railway with just a few of them.
Now it seems that his worries were unnecessary.
The enthusiasm of the ministers has far exceeded his imagination!
“哈哈，好，想要入股多少，回头都报给户部，由户部统计！”
没想到入股进行的这么顺利，嬴政爽朗的笑了起来。
"Fei Yu, upon your return, give the standard for building the railway to Feng Aiqing. Once the funds are secured, begin construction immediately!"
"Yes!"
The little boy immediately agreed.
"Alright, do any of the other officials have matters to report?"
After finalizing the railway matter, Ying Zheng was in a good mood, with a smile on his face even in the court.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Chun Yu Yue, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, raised his hand and stepped forward.
"What's the matter?"
Upon seeing Chunyu Yue, Ying Zheng's smile couldn't help but fade slightly.
This guy is knowledgeable and talented, there's nothing wrong with him in essence. However, he is too influenced by Confucianism, which has also affected Prince Fusu, making an originally fine child weak and powerless. This is what has reduced Ying Zheng's favorable impression of him!
"Your Majesty, the academies in each county have undergone multiple rounds of selection and have identified talented individuals who are awaiting the Autumn Examinations. However, the court has recently undergone major reforms, and many senior officials have retired. The Ministry of Rites can only provide a limited number of examiners. I wonder if Your Majesty would consider temporarily assigning a few ministers to oversee the examinations in various locations?"
Chunyu Yue's expression revealed his difficulty as he reluctantly raised his hand.
"Temporary transfer? Nowadays, the ministers in the court are also busy with their own tasks, and they cannot even handle their own work!"
This matter also troubled Ying Zheng.
Just as some ministers have just retired, the newly appointed ones have to familiarize themselves with their responsibilities, so there is no idle person.
But the imperial examination is aimed at solving this problem of talent shortage and must not be delayed.
Helpless, Ying Zheng unconsciously glanced at the little shota beside him!
"It seems like you have quite a few talented people at your disposal, huh?"
He had only been in Xianyang for a year, and yet he was able to manage so many industries. It was absolutely impossible for him to do everything himself; he had to rely on those capable individuals by his side.
"Yes?"
Little Zhang was taken aback.
The officials were so short-handed that they even targeted him?
"We think Zhang Liang, who helps you manage the academy, is a good choice. Also, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Chen Ping, is sharp-tongued, insightful, and has no connections with anyone in the court. He is the most suitable candidate for the invigilator!"
The little boy did not say anything, but Ying Zheng just picked on him without reservations, leaving the little boy speechless.
This old guy does have a sharp eye.
Zhang Liang is one of the three outstanding talents in the early Han Dynasty. His ancestors served as the prime minister of five generations in Korea. He was knowledgeable and talented, and had great strategies.
陈平也是个了不起的人物，曾是西汉丞相，文武双全，为人刚正！
别说是让他们监考，就算直接拎到朝堂上为官也绝对能够胜任！
Having them stay by their side all the time is indeed unfair!
"What? Don't want to give?"
Seeing the little cute guy pouting and remaining silent, Ying Zheng spoke up to ask.
"Father, if they leave, my newspaper and academy will have no one to take care of them!"
Xiaozhengtai deliberately made a reluctant expression, pouting and saying,
"This is easy. Although the Ministry of Rites does not have a suitable person to invigilate, there is still sufficient management of the academy. Moreover, the academy is now on the right track. Even if someone is transferred from below, they can still handle the academy well!"
"As for the newspaper, we can let Wan'er, the daughter of the Wu family, put more effort into it, serving as both the president and editor-in-chief!"
After some consideration, Ying Zheng made arrangements for the newspaper and the academy.
Ying Zheng agreed with conviction and nodded, coughing lightly, "Ahem..."
The ministers immediately understood, quickly returned to their positions, and the blueprints were handed back to Jing Fu, placed on the dragon table!
"As you, esteemed audience of ministers, can all see, once it is built, it can travel a thousand miles in a day, capable of transporting troops, supplies, and goods, benefiting both the nation and the people...!"

Since the railway tracks need to be continuously built, we may not see much profit in our generation, but it will definitely benefit future generations. Everyone can consider registering with Minister Zhang if they want to invest!"
- Ying Zheng finished speaking and leaned back on his throne, waiting for the ministers' reactions.
"How about it? Will you invest or not?"
"I don't know. We haven't heard of this thing before!"
"What the young master has researched shouldn't be wrong!"
"I agree. Who could have imagined the distillery being so popular? Wang Ben and the others made a fortune from it!"
"No matter what you guys say, I'm going to invest in this. Luckily, I have some extra money at home that will eventually be spent by those wasteful people in my family.
