Building railways requires a lot of labor.
The future steel plant will also employ tens of thousands of people.
The organization of land reclamation, the establishment of military horse farms, and the large number of factory machinery moved from Fengtian all required a large number of workers.
Once divided like this, the manpower is far from enough.
Recruiting people from Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia can solve some of the problems, but there is still a considerable gap in human resources.
After all, it cannot affect the food supply of the northwest itself.
In the northwest, a place with low mechanization, people are still the absolute main force in farming.
"There are a large number of refugees in Henan, Lianghu, Hebei, Shandong, and Sichuan.
I have already used my connections to contact acquaintances there.
I believe that someone will enter Gansu soon."
Shao Lizi nodded.
Jiang Li spared no effort in construction.
Not to mention the large amount of machinery moved from Fengtian, which was ready-made after all, but a railway cost tens of millions of yuan.
Even Nanjing did not have such courage, but Jiang Li But he insisted on building this railway against all objections, and a considerable part of the rails were purchased from foreigners.
This can cost a lot of money.
Shao Lizi had already tried to persuade Jiang Li, but Jiang Li insisted on going his own way and there was nothing he could do.
He was also a little puzzled.
Ma Lin, Ma Hongbin, and some local governors, provincial presidents and the like who he had met before all just filled their wallets first and rarely took into account the livelihood of the local people.
But Jiang Li happens to be a different extreme, spending a lot of money abroad, so that now foreigners from Shanghai are constantly rushing to Lanzhou, a relatively shabby place.
Jiang Li naturally has his own considerations in this regard.
As before, money cannot buy time, so Jiang Li is trying his best to get ahead of the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance.
Build this railway as quickly as possible.
Although buying rail tracks from foreigners is expensive.
But at this time, it was hit by the economic crisis.
The things you can buy are also the cheapest.
Gansu's steel production will not be able to increase to a satisfactory level in a short time.
The steel produced must first meet the needs of military production, followed by the production of a large number of factories, residential buildings, farm tools, as well as cars and tractors.
Gansu's steel production may not be enough to feed the country, so where can we find enough production capacity to build railways?
Some money.
It cannot be saved.
If the railway is built a year earlier, it can be put into operation a year earlier.
With the development of northwest industry, the demand for steel will only be greater in the future.
Sitting and waiting for steel produced in Gansu will undoubtedly waste precious time. jingle bell William looked at the office door in the distance boredly, and glanced at John next to him.
"You lazy guy, you always tell me to do my work.
Remember to add a hamburger with chicken for lunch.
Don't always give me cheap things that make me want to vomit."
John looked at it angrily.
William glanced at it, stood up and walked towards the door.
"Okay, I have to admit.
The way you open the door is as handsome as the way you drive a tank.
I also want to eat a big steak with you.
Add an egg roll sandwich, and preferably a delicious butter.
But according to the current situation I think the sales of tanks will have to wait until the next life.
We can afford such delicacies.
If we can't sell a few more tanks, I don't think we'll have to live like those homeless people, sleeping on a bed made of newspapers and eating unpalatable black bread. ."

William spread his hands helplessly and said.
The door was opened, and a young man with yellow skin and a blue-gray military uniform was revealed.
The young man's eyes gave people a very sharp look.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the thin yellow man in the east could have such majestic power.
"John, William, your guest is here.
This is Mr.
Tian Milong, from the far east, China.
He wants to consult with you about purchasing Vickers tanks.
Come on, cheer up, you have work to do.
"The middle-aged white man who brought Tian Jianlong over said hello to the two, then threw Tian Jianlong here and turned around to leave.
"Coming from China, God, I thought we could do a big business, but it seems we will be disappointed again.
But customers are God, John, go and greet your God."
William waved to John listlessly. , lack of interest and sat back in his seat.
"William, if you continue to push everything on me like this, I promise in the name of God that I will kick your ass."
John turned back and glared at William, the lazy guy.
When he turned back to face Tian Jianlong, his face looked a little better, but it can only be said that he was not cold, and could not match the enthusiasm.
"Mr.
Tian Jianlong, right?
My name is John.
The damn economic crisis is here."
It’s such a bad time, even we have been affected a lot, so I’m sorry, I don’t have anything good to entertain you.”
Tian Jianlong looked at the tea cup in front of him.
He didn't know how long the inferior tea leaves in it had been stored.
He didn't care about such treatment either.
I have long been accustomed to it.
"Mr.
John, you are probably not interested in knowing my origin.
Let's get straight to the point.
This time I was ordered to come to Europe.
Vickers Company was not my first stop.
Before coming, I first took a look.
Renault FT17 tank.
If your company is not interested in a deal of up to 40 tanks and armored vehicles, I think I have to turn around and reconsider the Renault FT17," Tian Milong said calmly as he sat down.
"What 40 tanks?"
William almost jumped up from his seat and sprinted to the side of Tian Milong at a speed of 100 meters.
"Are you sure you didn't say it wrong, or I heard wrongly, 40 tanks, God, Do you want to buy the whole Vickers company?"
"My commander wants to form a sufficient armored force.
This force should not be less than forty tanks or armored vehicles.
If I think there is no problem with the tanks, if necessary, I can place a deposit first."
Tian Jianlongzai Once stated.
"Oh, then you must choose the Vicker Tank.
Believe me, my friend, when you drive the Vicker Tank and have already entered the enemy's position, the opponent's Renault FT17 may have just completed the process of speeding up.
Such a long process The time difference is enough for you to kill the enemy It's all broken."
William tried his best to exaggerate Vickers Tank's shortcomings.
Looking at the poor quality tea on the table, he couldn't help but frown and said, "By the way, John, I still have a bag of coffee in my drawer.

How can such a distinguished guest do this?
Greet our guests with this tea and make them a cup of coffee.”
William and John gave Tian Jianlong a vivid demonstration of what it means to be arrogant at first and respectful later.
"It's better to drink coffee after the deal is concluded.
I have to take a look at the tank first."
Tian Jianlong shook his head.
"Okay, dear Mr.
Tian, please come this way.
I will take you to show you the outstanding performance of the great Vicker Tank.
It will definitely surprise you."
William nodded quickly, which could save some coffee for him.
Can't get it.
"Hey, John, don't tell anyone else yet.
When we finish the business deal and tell the boss, we can also see what kind of ugly face the boss has.
That Grandet who loves money as much as his life, I guess He will definitely lie down and lick your toes affectionately.”
After saying that, William laughed a few times nervously
