After the eldest grandson Wuji returned to Chang'an, he explained the situation, and Li Shimin wanted to go to Lanzhou to see the scale of the steel plant in person.
Xin Liangchou and Yuanshan negotiated the purchase of new steel, and the goods will be transported from Lanzhou to Chang'an one after another.
During this period, the Ordnance Supervisor was well prepared, and according to His Majesty's wishes, the weapons of the guards and horses would all be replaced with new steel, and the combat effectiveness would be improved again in terms of hardware.
And with the spread of the news, the city that never sleeps in Lanzhou has become a topic of conversation among businessmen.
Many people regard the city that never sleeps as a place to yearn for, and the businessmen who have been there are relishing it, and after a show, more people go to Lanzhou.
Lanzhou has nothing to say about this, everything is as usual, the night show is still under construction, the training scale of the song hall and dancers is gradually expanding, and the tavern and tea shop have been upgraded accordingly, all of which have become elegant places.
Yuanshan hoped that the catering industry would have enough goods to attract customers, so the Yuanjia food processing factory was opened in Lanzhou, and Park Zhishan personally took the lead in dispatching elite backbones from Chang'an to fully invest in the construction of the new factory.
Yuan Shan provided them with a lot of food reference materials, so that they could study and make them, and at the same time as the factory was built, they began to plant rapeseed, soybeans and other plants near Lanzhou.
On this day, Zhang Wenyi came to see Yuan Shan.
In the Lanzhou Mansion, a large area of open space has been used as a test field for planting, and you can clearly see the fields that are not divided into pieces from a distance.
Zhang Wenyi hurriedly ran over and said: "Lan Guogong, there is good news, the project of Tuhun Trade Zone is completely almost, and now there is an engineering team of 5,000 people who can be hired within half a month, it is the people of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce, is it time for our railway plan to start." ” "It's fast, can it be completed in a year and a half?"
Wonshan wondered.
"The main construction force of the Tuhun Business Zone is the people of the Ministry of Industry, the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce, and the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce are all undertaking a certain part, and the speed is of course fast."
Zhang Wenyi explained.
Can these Yuanshan not know, the railway matter still has to be hurried, and the railway from Lanzhou to the Western Regions still has to be repaired, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Do you Lanzhou have a lot of money in the treasury now, so active." ” Zhang Wenyi said: "Isn't this for development, otherwise I don't know how to use the money from selling houses and settling down, so it is better to make some investments, so that we can make more money while developing Lanzhou, and with money, we can carry out more public projects." ” "Well, you are quite far-sighted, okay, in this case, then start repairing, first Lanzhou, Hezhou, Taozhou, Minzhou, Songzhou, Shanzhou in the north of the road section of the road to repair out, and then south to Jiannan Road together with Chengdu Yizhou, so that the annual corn grain can have a new transportation line, Lanzhou as a transit will get a huge benefit, the centralized warehouse can be built in advance, otherwise there is no granary where to stack the grain."
Yuan Shan said with a smile.
"What Lan Guogong said is that the lower officials will do it as soon as possible."
Zhang Wenyi said.
It is not easy to build a railway, the project is very large, and many people need to be used, and what Lanzhou lacks now is laborers.
Yuan Shan thought about it slightly, and felt that it might be difficult to find someone to settle down, but the development did not necessarily start from Lanzhou, the building materials chamber of commerce, the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce of the project is not an external hiring, if there are more such teams would not be able to solve the problem of employment.
Thinking about it, he went back to the mansion and found Dugu Ruolan and said: "Ruolan, now Lanzhou is short of an engineering team, how about letting your father undertake this work." ” "I don't have an opinion, I'll write a letter to my father."
Dugu Ruolan Road.
"Okay."
Yuan Shandao.
A month later, the railway in Lanzhou began to expand, and the 5,000 workers of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce all came one after another, the project was carried out rapidly, the steel plant and the cement plant were very well supplied, and the construction speed of 5,000 people was faster than expected, which had a lot to do with the preparation in the early stage.
Twenty steam board trucks transport steel, cement piers are faster than manpower, Zhang Wenyi stayed on the construction site for several days, he was very serious about helping at the beginning of the construction, Lanzhou Yamen invested 500,000 yuan on the railway this time, which is a lot of investment for Lanzhou, Zhang Wenyi is very responsible, and sticks to the construction site in the early stage.
The engineering team of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce has rich experience, and they are all double-track railways, and the amount of work is still very large.
Two months later, Xu Zhi, the housekeeper of the Dugu family in Yuezhou, rushed to Chang'an with a team of 10,000 people, and rushed to Lanzhou from Chang'an, this action shocked many people, especially businessmen.
The engineering team formed by the chamber of commerce in Suzhou, Fuzhou and other places began to expand, and some people had already made contact with Lanzhou before, and the people who built the railway were not afraid, so tens of thousands of people took the sea to Cangzhou, and then took the train to catch up with Lanzhou in batches.
In just three months, the number of migrant workers in Lanzhou rose to 50,000, and a group of railway workers came into being.
Zhang Wenyi felt a lot of pressure, so many people came at once, the demand for construction site was huge, and 50,000 people were all scattered soon after entering Lanzhou, and the railway from Lanzhou to Hezhou and then to Tuyuhun was built, and now it is basically laid.
In recent months, the high-quality bank of the Lanzhou Economic Development Department has been hanging with a heart, spending a lot of money every day, 50,000 labor costs, food, accommodation, and the cost of building the railway.
In the same way, the ordnance supervisor was not easy, and the craftsmen who had been investing a lot of manpower and material resources in the research of new artillery suddenly changed to building locomotives, and His Majesty's will could not be ignored.
Chang'an and Cangzhou open to traffic, through Luozhou, Zhengzhou, Huazhou, Yunzhou, Qizhou, Dizhou, Cangzhou, many state capitals have benefited from this, the aspect of transportation and let the people of each state capital have a long-distance travel aspect, these state people are collectively traveling to Chang'an, Luoyang, Lanzhou, Cangzhou and other places to work, providing a large number of labor.
However, the smooth flow of the railway made the lack of locomotives make the role of the railway somewhat stagnant, so after the evaluation of the Ministry of Development, it was reported to His Majesty, and then there was a plan to build a locomotive.
Just in time for the completion of the Lanzhou railway expansion, the speed of railway construction in Tuyuhun is amazing, but the number of train passes is not much, because the number of trains is insufficient, which is embarrassing.
So Yuan Shan made a concession to His Majesty, looking at the locomotive, the construction cost of the Ministry of Economic Development did not pay a penny, after all, the property rights of the railway belonged to the imperial court from the beginning of construction, after Yuan Shan put forward the demand, it was Li Shimin who was anxious, and he could not let the railway become an ornament.
