Chapter 617: Qizhou Railway


When the railway construction was in full swing, the influence of the Ministry of Economic Development began to spread to Luoyang and Zhengzhou.

Sichuan is too far away from Chang'an in Jiannan Province, but Zhengzhou is a good place for development, and under the planning of the Ministry of Economic Development, Zhengzhou will be used as a food base for more than a dozen surrounding state capitals.

After the train project, the Ministry of Economic Development began to manage it, as for more investment this part will be continued by the imperial court, take now two sections of the railway is being built at the same time, one is the Jiannan Road Railway invested by the Ministry of Economic Development, and the other is the construction of Chang'an to Luoyang funded by the national treasury, passing through Jingzhao Mansion and Henan Province.

The newly built treasure ship of Cangzhou Shipyard has been launched for trial voyage after being reduced in size, and its speed is more superior than that of the current wooden ship.

The use of trains makes the materials in Lantian County be supplied in a timely manner every day, which solves the problem of insufficient transportation capacity, and the vegetables, grains and other materials in Lantian County can meet the demand with a small number of carriages and three-wheeled bicycles.

For this reason, Xinfeng County made Zhang Baojun envious, but he only had envy, after all, the railway could not be built if it was built.

After the Lantian County station, the construction direction of the railway continued to extend to Fengzhou, and the overall line has been planned to Lizhou under Xingzhou, along with Langzhou, Zizhou, and then go straight to Chengdu.

Tens of thousands of people working overtime, the construction speed is very fast, along the way around the railway planning also led to the local business development, especially the situation in Fengzhou is very strong, because the next station of Lantian Station is Fengzhou, the eyes of the businessmen are bright, how can they let go of such a good opportunity.

Then there is the planned construction of the railway, and the railway stations in various states are already under construction, which is much faster than the construction of houses on the railroad.

In three months, the prototype of the second train was built, which was the result of the labor of 2,000 blacksmiths and a group of helpers, and the new locomotive was not involved in the workshop, and the contract between the two parties was completed after the first train was built.

The blacksmith of the Yuan family returned to the workshop and began to design new production equipment, such as the pressing and binding equipment driven by greater steam power.

A month later, the weather became hotter, and the working environment of the blacksmiths began to deteriorate, but there was no way to leave the era without air conditioning, and the combination of ice cubes and steam-powered fans was the same as before.

Won Seongo sat on a three-wheeled bicycle, which was prepared for ministers in the imperial city, in order to save time on the road.

Taiji Hall Dynasty Meeting, Yuan Shan is also a must to participate.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the five-rank officials were all lined up outside the main hall.

Yuan Shan's level has been respectfully saluted by everyone along the way, although this is not the first time, but it is also very stressful to pass by like this.

At the beginning of the court meeting, the ministers had something to say, that is, to hold a meeting.

I don't know how long later, I heard Li Shimin say: "Yuan servant shooting, the construction of the railway must be paid close attention, the construction of the railway from Chang'an to Qizhou should be given priority, and the Ministry of Economic Development should focus on it." ” "Shenma double open route, where is this."

Yuan Shan said in his heart.

"Yan Shangshu, the Ministry of Industry must cooperate with all efforts to complete the construction as soon as possible."

Li Shimin said again.

There was a number above the court, there was such an extra job, Yuan Shan was not easy to argue as a servant, although the silver was not much, but the treasury still took out some, and there were people from the Ministry of Industry to help, what did he have to say.

At the end of the court meeting, Yan Lide came over again and said: "Yuan Servant Shooting, although Your Majesty said that the Ministry of Industry will cooperate in the construction, but the situation of the Ministry of Industry is currently known that there are really not so many people, so if there are shortcomings, please forgive me." ” "Then you still promised to do your job so simply, are you catering to the emperor to do work?"

Yuan Shanxin said.

"Where, the Ministry of Industry is now being reused by His Majesty, and it is about to become the head of the six ministries, and the rapid development is also obvious."

Yuan Shandao.

"Alas, don't dare to say that, the Ministry of Industry has a lot of projects now, that's why it's like this."

Yan Lide said immediately.

Yuan Shan didn't want to continue to tear him down, so he asked directly: "Why does Your Majesty want to build a railway in Qizhou, which completely requires a new line, why is the huge investment?"

” "Yuan Servant may pay more attention to the commercial value of the state capital, Qizhou is very close to Chang'an and the scope of the state capital is very large, speaking of the development value is still very large, through Qizhou can be divided into two roads, one leads to Minzhou, the other leads to Lanzhou, both of these places are strategic, especially Minzhou, the closest to Tuyuhun, Your Majesty is to take precautions."

Yan Lide said.

"I see, it seems that the official has not thought it through, and I didn't expect His Majesty to think further."

Yuan Shan said, by the way, he patted the emperor on a horse.

Three days later, the people from the Ministry of Economic Development were sent to Qizhou to investigate, and along the way they would record matters such as the construction of railway routes, in order to support Yuanshan's work, Yan Lide directly used the conscription order, and a large number of people were anxious to help.

All the money issued by the imperial court was used by Yuan Shan to buy some labor tools such as shovels for the Yuan family, because the money of the imperial court was not much at all, and it was okay to buy tools, so he could only "hehe" as funds for road repair.

But Yuan Shan is not the master of the loss, the construction of the railway needs rails, and an iron-making workshop in charge of Ma Zhou is too busy, even if the ordnance supervisor has replenished the equipment, and with the increase in demand, the output is still a little stretched.

So Yuan Shan once again asked Li Shimin to expand the scale of the ironworks, but all the expenses would be borne by the state treasury, and promised that the ironworks would be exchanged to the court after three years, provided that the costs of the Ministry of Economic Development were paid in the early stage.

In order to achieve a grand revenge, Li Shimin also had to take out one-third of the annual income of the treasury to invest, and the Ordnance Supervision fully cooperated with the equipment needed to build the ironworks.

Several large-scale steam engine projects customized for the Yuan family were also temporarily interrupted in this situation, and the construction speed was very amazing in this case, and Yuan Shan felt a little incredible after seeing it.

He may have forgotten that it is a feudal society now, and there is no law on employment, especially under the premise that the imperial court uses government decrees, it is inevitable that some disclosures will occur directly or indirectly in order to achieve the goal.

In this case, the imperial court still used its strength, and began to levy cars and horses like the people, and each state capital has a number of requirements, and the capacity of Chang'an has increased by three hundred in the rest of the month, and nearly 30,000 horses have been requisitioned, all of which are paid loans, and there are preferential policies for tax reductions and exemptions, and the rental price is more cost-effective.

I hope readers can support a lot, ask for rewards, ask for collections, recommend tickets, and give a few monthly passes:
