Yang Fan plans to build a bus railway in the capital first. Give it a trial run so that everyone can get familiar with it and get used to it. In the future, there will be much less resistance to building regular railways.
Now the development effect of Huangcheng North Street is very good, and the first community is sold out. In the spring of next year, there are still three communities to be opened.
Yang Fan estimates that these customers who have bought the building will definitely build up their reputation after enjoying it for a winter. Home sales will be even hotter next year.
People of this era have never enjoyed such good living conditions.
Running water, heating, bathroom and toilet. The windows are all flat glass, allowing the winter sunlight to fully shine into the room. Twenty-four hours hot water. The community's strict security system makes living absolutely safe.
Close to Xinghe Supermarket and Gulou Business District. Enjoy meal delivery service at restaurants open 24 hours a day. Grocery store, bathhouse, laundromat, garden-style community.
Buy a house here, live a comfortable life, and live comfortably.
As long as they live in it and enjoy one winter, they will be completely immersed in happiness and unable to extricate themselves.
Next year, as word of mouth spreads, it is estimated that after the second batch of communities are opened, supply will exceed demand, and all future communities will be able to sell off-plan properties.
Yang Fan is preparing to put the first railway in the capital.
Improve the living environment and travel convenience in Beijing. These infrastructures are also a means to increase housing prices. Only by changing the surrounding environment can housing prices soar.
Space for laying two tracks has been reserved on Huangcheng North Street. It is currently covered by a green belt in the middle of a two-way six-lane cement road.
Yang Fan plans to deceive His Majesty and build a circular railway first. to solve the traffic problems in Beijing.
This railway goes clockwise. From Huangcheng North Street, exit Chongwenmen via Dongdan Street to Liangguang Road. Then turn west from Liangguang Road, turn north at Caishikou, pass through Xuanwumen and enter Xidan Street, and then return to Huangcheng North Street.
It forms a closed circular line that just connects the north and south cities.
In the future, depending on the benefits, we will retain the plan to build a double line. In the future, the other railway to be double-tracked will have the opposite direction, taking a counterclockwise direction.
If every mile, set up a stop. The traffic in the entire capital city was completely revitalized.
The train is short and narrow, allowing it to pass through the city gates easily. There is no need to demolish the wall to create a gap. In this way, the resistance to construction is also small.
The track load of the narrow-gauge railway is small, which is similar to that of urban trams. It can be laid directly in the middle of the stone road in Beijing, and the amount of work is also small.
In the movie, the bell-ringing trams in old Shanghai were grooved in the middle of the road and the tracks were laid twenty centimeters lower. The track is level with the road surface and does not affect the passage of other vehicles such as pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages.
In this way, a circular railway line in the shape of a mouth is formed, including Nancheng and Beicheng.
Because the small train is a narrow-gauge railway with a width of 0.76 meters, the height and width are small, the speed is slow, and the noise is small. More suitable for use in cities.
If he was worried about the locomotive spewing coal ash and dust that would pollute the environment, Yang Fan could burn heavy oil for the small train. Anyway, he would start refining oil in the future.
The small train line Erluzi wants to acquire is the longest existing narrow-gauge railway system in the world. It belongs to the forest train system. This type of train mainly transports wood and has a large load capacity.
The total length of the main line is 188.14 kilometers, and the total length of branch lines and dedicated lines is 541.17 kilometers. After they are all dismantled and transported, it will be enough for Yang Fan to work hard.
Currently, there are 39 762 narrow-gauge railways in the northeast and southwest of Hyundai. Most of them have ceased operations and lie abandoned.
This steam engine train locomotive is a 28-ton light locomotive. The length is 10.06 meters, the width is 2.05 meters, the height is 3.15 meters, the curb weight is 28 tons, and the net weight is 20 tons.
The steam locomotive has a top speed of 35 kilometers per hour and a normal speed of 25 kilometers per hour. It uses steam as power and raw coal as fuel. It has a large coal-water loading capacity, carrying 5.2 tons of water and 2.7 tons of coal.
Suitable for long-distance transportation, the car is equipped with one driver and one assistant driver, and two firemen. To clean the furnace and add water at a certain time, some stations need to be equipped with water supply stations.
The rail width of the small train is 762 mm, and the rail type is 15 kg/m. Each rail is ten meters long, with less than 200 rails per kilometer and three sleepers per meter.
Wait for this small train line to be successfully operated on the 16-kilometer circular line in Beijing. Yang Fan plans to build two more long-distance railway lines.
The first one is to build a line from Beijing to Dagukou Shipping Terminal via Tianjin, with a total length of 200 kilometers.
Now the Tianjin to Beijing section of the Grand Canal requires countercurrent fiber drawing. Moreover, the canal is frozen and unusable in winter. If a railway is built from the imperial capital to Dagukou Pier through Tianjin, there will be many benefits.
First of all, the water transportation freight can earn enough money to operate this railway.
No more stretching in the future. Drawing is too slow and the cost is high. As for the trackers, Yang Fan will arrange them.
After this narrow-gauge railway is completed, it can connect the capital and the shipping terminal. This railway can replace the Northern Canal and become a new transportation artery.
Freight traffic is busy on this route. After the railway is completed, it will definitely make a lot of money.
The second step is to build the Longhai Railway.
The designed route runs from Lianyungang to Xi'an via Xuzhou, Renqiu, Kaifeng and Luoyang, with a total length of about 1,000 kilometers.
Yang Fan's main consideration is that this will be the hardest hit area by the Ming Dynasty's rebellion in the future, with huge population losses.
The small train has simple track laying and fast construction, but its transportation capacity is very good. In the future, these places will be in chaos. Yang Fan plans to transport all the people to Lianyungang to go to sea and go to overseas colonies.
There are five locomotives, and Yang Fan plans to put one in the capital for urban transportation. One is placed on the route from Beijing to Tianjin Port. The remaining three stations are all placed on the Longhai Line.
The Longhai Line does not have enough tracks and sleepers, so some can be produced by ourselves. These small rails are not technically difficult and should be produced by Yang Fan's steel plant. You can also let the idiot continue to buy some. These obsolete and abandoned equipment are equivalent to scrap metal, and teleportation does not cost much gold.
Shaanxi is already in chaos now. It can be said that there are wars everywhere and hungry people are everywhere.
The peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty broke out in the northern Shaanxi uprising in the seventh year of Tianqi in the late Ming Dynasty (1627), and ended in the complete defeat of the Kuidong thirteen families in the third year of Kangxi (1664). There was a total of 37 years of turmoil.
After the turmoil, the country's population dropped from 20 million in the first year of Chongzhen to 19 million in the 17th year of Kangxi. War, plague, natural disasters, and man-made disasters caused huge population losses.
Yang Fan didn't have much time to wait for the train he made to mature. The best way is to walk on two legs, introducing ready-made products while using these ready-made products as a reference to research and develop your own.
Yang Fan felt that instead of losing these people in troubled times, it would be better to transport them away to develop a colony for himself.
The climate of the Ming Dynasty cannot support such a large population, but there is a lot of fertile land in the subtropics and tropics. There is too much unowned land in Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Americas.
Why should everyone fight to the death here in Daming?
The Yangtze River and Pearl River have convenient water transportation. Yang Fan had steam engines and advanced ships. Water transportation is very efficient. The shipping volume is also amazing. It's not difficult to immigrate there.
Only the north does not have advanced means of transportation.
After Yang Fan built the Longhai Railway, transportation throughout the Central Plains was revitalized. It takes two days and two nights to get from Lianyungang to Xi'an. Whether it is disaster relief or immigration, there is a basis for implementation.
In the future, if Yang Fan wants to go further, he will explore Central Asia and West Asia. This railway can be continued to be extended and built westward from Xi'an, through Lanzhou to the west, and through the Hexi Corridor to the Yinli Valley. Then all the way west, wherever the army reaches, the railway will be built.
Although the transportation capacity of small trains is not as good as that of standard gauge railways, it is still possible to improvise and solve any problems first.
In the future, when Chen Xi's side develops a standard-gauge railway, it won't be too late to switch to a standard-gauge railway.
Yang Fan estimates that this kind of small train has low investment, large transportation capacity, slow speed, but is easy to build. It has been used in Ming Dynasty for twenty years without any problem.
In order to protect the railway and prevent the tracks from being taken away by unscrupulous people. Yang Fan also needed to seal the line with trenches, barbed wire, and gun towers.
Artillery towers were built intensively along the way and road protection teams were stationed. While inspecting, maintaining and repairing lines. While protecting the safety of the railway.
A large number of railway crossing control personnel and switch staff are also needed.
These make it easier for Yang Fan to hide his strength. After all, Yang Fan is already very powerful now. Continuing to develop could easily lead to conflict with the emperor.
Yang Fan needs new, more covert ways to continue to expand his power.
