The second high-grade highway is the G2 highway from Beijing to Muguhewei.
The original supporting highway from Beijing to Shanhaiguan will no longer be widened, but the road from Shanhaiguan to Muguhewei will be five steps wide according to the G1 standard.
Set up roadways and sidewalks and mark walking directions.
The survey of g2 and Shanmu Line can be carried out at the same time.
The railway is next to the road, which can reduce the time and money spent to a certain extent.
At the same time, the materials transported by the train can be easily and flexibly transferred through the road, because g1 and g2 As a main road, the original loess official roads in other places are connected to it, forming a convenient transportation network.
It was through the bidding of g1 and g2 that Zhu Youxiao discovered what a wrong understanding he thought of the lack of human resources.
After the two routes were surveyed, it was already November.
The previous bidding for the Beijing-Beijing Line was still a new thing, and everyone was still somewhat hesitant, and the level of participation was not very high.
However, after the Highway Investment Promotion Bureau published announcements on posters and newspapers in various places, at least three firms participated in the competition for each bidding section.
Each business bank has corresponding human resources.
The only difference lies in the advancedness of the tools, and the advancedness of the tools is related to the strength of the funds.
Because the Daming Civilian Machinery and Tool Cooperative, newly established by the Ordnance Bureau, manufactured a large number of construction-related equipment and tools, such as animal-powered road graders and rollers, animal-powered and steam-powered mechanical saws, and various steel shovels. , hoes, etc., as long as you have money, you can buy them in large quantities to make your tools more advanced and improve work efficiency.
Bidding is mainly measured from two aspects, one is time and the other is cost.
As for quality issues, fees will only be paid after they are approved by the Quality Supervision Bureau anyway.
Moreover, the construction companies of each road section and the inspectors of the Quality Supervision Bureau must be registered.
If there is a quality accident, there will be jail time.
Wait for them.
In this process, the Ministry of Agriculture took the opportunity to increase its efforts in promoting land to the tiller.
Cement cannot be transported from Beijing to Liaodong or Nanjing, so the large amount of cement required for road construction can only be produced nearby to reduce costs.
The stones needed for cement production are not as rare as iron ore, and can be produced wherever there are mountains.
Therefore, with the mobilization of officials from the Ministry of Agriculture one by one, the far-sighted landowners along the line agreed to give up part of their land. in exchange for funds and cement manufacturing patents.
If you have enough money, can you directly purchase cement manufacturing technology?
An official from the Ministry of Agriculture said: "That's not possible, because the patent office charges a 30% discount on cement manufacturing patent fees, which is to reward the use of excess If the enlightened squire of the fields is not given to support the Ministry of Agriculture.
Under the Land to the Cultivator action, the patent fee must be purchased at the original price, which is more than three times the current price, and the patent office is not responsible for daily guidance and maintenance.
Good things like discounts and maintenance guidance are not easy to come by. ” Yang Lian was in a very good mood during this period.
The construction of railways and highways actually gave unexpected support to the land-for-tiller movement, and it is now spreading to the southern areas where the Ministry of Agriculture had difficulty in the past.
According to this trend, a few years later, Southern Zhili can also form an agricultural industrial structure dominated by homesteaders like the north.
By then, the Ming Dynasty's food problem will no longer be a hidden concern.
When he reported the good news to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao poured cold water on him at that time: "Yang Qing, you are thinking too much.
There is less land in the south and more people.
Even if the landlords allocate extra fields, they cannot make it possible for everyone to have something for everyone."
Fields, and now more and more land is occupied by sericulture in Zhili, Zhejiang and other places in the south.
I am afraid that in the future, food will have to be transported from Huguang to supply the local area.
If we want the south to develop stably, we must either vigorously develop business or vigorously immigrate. " Yang Lian was silent, tax evasion incidents had been frequent in southern taxation, and the tax collected by the imperial court would not increase much due to the development of commerce.
Immigration in the south has always been a difficult problem.
Neither of the two items mentioned by the emperor seem to be able to solve the fundamental problem in the south.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, didn't you ask the Ministry of Agriculture to plant mulberry trees in the north last time?
As long as the mulberry trees grow in suitable areas, silkworms can be raised and silk made.
Soon sericulture will no longer be a matter of the south."
By that time, southerners will also be willing to immigrate.”
Yang Liandao: "In the past, sericulture was distributed all over the country, but Jiangnan seemed to be the most suitable.
Then the quality of silk products in other places will be obviously weaker than Jiangnan.
How can we compete with Jiangnan?"
Zhu Youxiao said: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The research institute is currently studying sericulture, and its base is in Baoding Prefecture, the capital.
Last time they reported that the quality of silk is no different from that in the south, and it may be improved.
Technology has reduced its cost.
With the vast fields in the north, if you really start raising sericulture, do you think it will be inferior to that in the south?"
Yang Lian's expression changed.
If it is true as the emperor said, silkworm breeding has begun in the north, then it will not be comparable to the two southern provinces.
When the southern silk advantage is gone, a large number of immigrants will be able to immigrate, and the land problem will be solved.
The third railway line in Zhu Youxiao's mind is the Beijing-Guangzhou line from Beijing to Guangzhou.
This line is extremely long, reaching 3,700 miles, and there are a large number of mountains along the way, requiring the construction of a large number of bridges or fireways, which greatly increases the difficulty of building this railway.
After the exploration of the Liangjing Line and Shanmu Line was completed, the exploration work of the Beijing-Guangzhou Line officially began.
Zhu Youxiao's requirement is: explode everything that can be exploded with explosives.
Considering the train's climbing ability, he would rather take a detour to ensure it is as gentle as possible.
The Royal Construction Team had already tried to build short flint paths during the original railway construction.
The longest flint path reached 70 steps and 112 meters.
Explosives were used in the excavation of this flint path.
This enabled the construction team to accumulate experience in the use of explosives.
Therefore, the exploration team includes explosives users from the Royal Construction Team to confirm whether explosives can be used on the road.
According to Zhong Yuzheng's estimate, the exploration of the Beijing-Guangzhou Line will take at least two years, and the construction process will take at least ten years.
Zhu Youxiao felt that the distance from Beijing to Hankou was only two thousand miles, and there were not many mountain peaks on this route, and most of them could be avoided.
Even to Changsha, we only needed to consider building a bridge.
Therefore, this section can be built first.
After the construction is successful, rice from Huguang can be transported directly to the capital.
Even if there is a famine, the food can be easily distributed to where it is needed
