Chapter 1704 The sky is falling
Although Wang Yuan would say regret, there was no regret on his face, and even a little gloating.
Looking at the gloating expression on Wang Yuanhui's face, Cui Zhi and the others felt very disgusted. They knew that Wang Yuanhui must be very proud.
Although the five surnames and seven hopes are indeed in harmony with each other, they have been in competition before and have struggled a lot for their interests. Of course, over the years, they have formed a tacit understanding and have been maintained within the scope of small-scale fights.
Cui Zhi pondered: "We five surnames and seven hopes compete with each other, and we don't agree with each other. But this time, the Wang family in Taiyuan has a deep relationship with Su Cheng, so we did leave the front. We are all convinced of this."
Wang Yuanhui's smile on his face could not be concealed, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Where, where."
Wang Qingyun, who was standing next to him, couldn't hide the expression on his face, and felt so happy.
Li Yuandao smiled and said, "We are indeed convinced this time. How about it? Brother Wang is very proud? We have been fighting for most of our lives, but now we are convinced. I am afraid that even you can't even think of it?"
Of course, being proud is being proud, but don’t say it out loud. Wang Yuan would wave his hand and smile, “Hey, where is it, what’s so proud of me? I can only regard myself as an elder in front of Su Cheng.”
Cui Zhi and others finally felt a little relaxed after hearing this. They did not lose to Wang Yuanhui because of their ability, but because there was no good niece who could charm Su Cheng.
Cui Qun smiled and said, "But have you ever thought that the emperor once said that private railways were not allowed to be built, and Su Cheng built the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang because he invented the steam car and the emperor rewarded his merits, so he specifically allowed it."
Cui Zhi continued: "Yes, anyone with a discerning eye knows that building a railway can get huge benefits. For the court, the railway is more valuable, and the emperor will definitely hold the railway tightly in his hands."
Li Yuandao asked: "Although your Taiyuan Wang family already has the design drawings for steaming cars and will be able to build steaming cars soon, can you let the emperor let go and allow you Taiyuan Wang family to build a railway?"
Lu Xian smiled and said, "But if we gather the power of our five surnames and seven hopes, it will be different. We can mobilize officials to advise us. At that time, the emperor will have to let go if he opposes."
Wang Yuanhui couldn't help but frowned slightly after hearing this. In fact, he had thought about this question. It was probably impossible for the Emperor to let go of the Emperor just because of their Taiyuan Wang family.
In this matter, I am afraid that even Su Cheng will not help them.
Their Taiyuan Wang family had only one way to build a railway, that is, Su Cheng continued to build a railway, and their Taiyuan Wang family also took the opportunity to participate.
However, if all the five surnames and seven hopes are involved, they can really compete with the emperor in the court, and may change the emperor's mind.
Of course, it is only possible.
Therefore, Wang Yuanhui knew in his heart that giving Cui Zhi and others too many variables would make things complicated. If the railway could not be built, it would mean that they would lose money and gain publicity.
Without giving the design drawings of the steam car to Cui Zhi and others, even if the Wang family in Taiyuan cannot build a railway, they can rely on the steam engine to make a fortune.
After all, steam engines are so useful that they are not only used in trains.
More importantly, Su Cheng did not agree to give the design drawings of the steamer car to Cui Zhi and the others. If the Wang family in Taiyuan gave it privately, how would Su Cheng view their Wang family in Taiyuan?
Wouldn't that offend Su Cheng?
If he offended Su Cheng, even if Su Cheng and Shengnan fell in love, they might not be able to reunite with the Wang family in Taiyuan in the future.
Therefore, no matter what Cui Zhi and the others said, Wang Yuanhui could not give Cui Zhi and the others the design drawings of the steamed car.
Of course, Wang Yuanhui could not tell the whole plan in his heart. He sighed: "I know what you said, and I also want to give you the design drawings. I want our five surnames and seven hopes to work together, but we have already agreed to Su Cheng and cannot break our trust."
Cui Zhi looked around and pondered, "There are no outsiders here, so we said something openly. Although Su Cheng really doesn't let you give us the design drawings for steaming cars, if the design drawings for steaming cars are blown away by the wind and accidentally blown in front of us and we see them, it is not impossible, right?"
Cui Qun nodded and said, "Yes, who made Chang'an a bit of a heavy wind and sand recently!"
Li Yuandao whispered: "When I was at the train station yesterday, Su Cheng said that he hoped that we could study and manufacture the steam engine as soon as possible. He was not disgusted with the imitation of the steam engine in the world. On the contrary, he was still very much looking forward to it. I have to say that his mind is admirable! But how did he know how the steam engine was imitated?"
Wang Qingyun couldn't help but say, "How magical is steamed cars. We have not made the design drawings in our hands until now. If we don't have the design drawings, it is impossible to imitate them even if we study them for ten or eight years. As long as you imitate the steamed cars, it will be like revealing the stuff."
He personally supervised the manufacturing of steamed cars, so he realized that it is not easy to build steamed cars, especially the secret recipe for rubber refining is even more strange. He really doesn't believe that anyone can copy it in a short time.
Li Yuandao waved his hand slightly and said, "Su Cheng is indeed a genius, but there are many strange people in this world. Since Su Cheng can create it, who is sure that no one can imitate it?"
Since you think there are strange people who can imitate them, then you go to find strange people and strange people, why are you still planning to design drawings here?
Wang Qingyun was about to speak, but Wang Yuanhui waved his hand and told him not to say anything again. He smiled and said, "I went to Su Cheng yesterday and just talked for a while before I realized that Su Cheng was worried about how to make the train drive at night."
"It's too dark at night, and the speed of the train is so fast that you can't see the tracks clearly, which can easily cause derailment accidents. Although oil lamps and candles can be illuminated, they can't shine far and cannot be used at all."
Cui Zhi and the others were a little confused. Although this is indeed a difficult problem, it has nothing to do with the issue they discussed today. Even if Wang Yuan wants to change the topic, it would be too hasty, right?
