"Although the cost of building railways is huge, all of you must already know the benefits of railways. I hope that after you return to Beijing, you can write to your Majesty to continue building railways."
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Wang Chengen on the side finally revealed the true purpose of the trip.
Why did Zhu Youjian let them take the car to Tianjin?
If the truck is empty, wouldn't it be better to load it with more food?
It’s not just to let them feel the charm of the railway tracks firsthand.
Railways are so important to the stability of the country.
But the cost of building railways was simply too great.
On average, one mile costs more than 7,000 taels of silver.
Even though Daming's annual income now exceeds 10 million taels of silver, he still can't afford to burn money like this.
This is also the benefit of Zhu Youjian knowing the railway, even if he later signed in and got a lot of railway tracks. Nor was a big reason why the rail plan wasn't restarted.
The court needs planning and needs the Beijing-Tianjin Railway to generate revenue in the shortest possible time.
Only when profits are generated can people be fooled into investing.
That's right, Zhu Youjian didn't plan to pay for it himself at the beginning. Deliver supplies.
It's not that Zhu Youjian is short of money and supplies.
Without railways, the cost of land transportation would be too great.
Just like why is the cost of building the Beijing-Tianjin Railway so high?
In addition to everyone being unfamiliar with the first construction, one of the main reasons is that the cost of transportation is too high.
According to incomplete statistics, at least one tenth of materials are wasted in transportation.
If investment is stimulated and nearby local powers provide food, the loss of food transportation can be greatly reduced.
Even if the other party is given a certain amount of profit by then, the total cost will definitely be much lower than the current transportation cost.
But now in the eyes of local powerful people, Zhu Youjian is a coward, a big coward.
Thank God they didn't cause trouble.
We still expect them to invest before seeing the profits! What about dreaming?
As for recruiting retail investors, Zhu Youjian also wanted to do it, but it was too difficult to do it.
This is not the future, just get an ID card and record the information.
Everything needs to be written down on paper one stroke at a time. Signing and stamping, this will be a big task.
Of course, it would not be impossible to find some virtuous people to collect the grain from the people and lease it to the construction team, but the risk would be great.
People's hearts are unpredictable.
As the saying goes, you know people, but you don’t know their hearts.
A kind-hearted old man might have been a murderous killer when he was young.
A strong man with a fierce appearance and scarred face may also be a warrior on the battlefield.
A squire who has a good reputation and does good deeds from time to time may be doing shady things behind his back.
A person with a very bad reputation may also be a spy for the imperial court to infiltrate evil forces.
In ordinary people's homes, if they add up their wealth, they can only save seven or eight taels of silver.
Converted into food, it's only seven or eight shi.
With a weak family background, their ability to resist risks is poor.
If you meet a liar and deceive them under the guise of the imperial court.
Then wouldn’t the imperial court suffer a big loss?
"First, repair the second track of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway.
Tianjin is close to the sea and the sea route will be opened directly. By then, the transactions between Beijing and Tianjin will definitely increase several times. Then it will be time for railways to show their power. "
"The railway from the capital to the Central Plains, to Shaanxi, and to the 9th border must also be put on the agenda."
Zhu Youjian, who was far away in the capital, stared at the map of the Ming Dynasty in front of him and calculated.
"
The research on steam engines should also be put on the agenda. With steam engines, trains will be faster. Only then can the power of railways be maximized. "
Really, if I had known I was going to time travel, I should have studied more mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Looking at other people, soap and glass were immediately manufactured as soon as they traveled through time. These cross-generational products soon became the protagonist’s pocketbook.
Looking at myself again, I have traveled through time for seven or eight years, and I have found many craftsmen privately, but I have not seen the shadow of soap yet. As for the glass, although the craftsmen actually made glass by burning sand, the quality is really unbearable.
Fortunately, Zhu Youjian had "Meishan" in hand and made countless preparations before ascending the throne, otherwise he could only wait and die slowly.
Now, with great difficulty, the decline of the Ming Dynasty has been reversed and countless obstacles to reform have been cleared.
Zhu Youjian must continue to reform.
For the future of Ming Dynasty. For the future of the Han people. In order that in the future, children in my own country will no longer be forced to learn foreign languages.
Zhu Youjian must carry out the reform to the end.
Policies are easy to change, but it is indeed people's deep-rooted thinking that it is difficult to change.
Since ancient times, countless good customs and good ideas have been handed down.
But countless dross has also been passed down.
For example, when sick, a considerable number of people will not choose to see a doctor, but go to a goddess.
If you're lucky, it may heal on its own, but if you're not lucky, it may just die.
These dregs have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They will not benefit the court or the family in the slightest, and will even increase the burden on the people.
But many people can only bear these dross silently.
It's just because these things have been handed down since ancient times.
Even if Zhu Youjian, as the leader of the world, wants to change, he will have to face a lot of resistance.
"The national railway plan must start immediately after the year, and the national education and medical training plan should also be included in the plan."
"I remember that in the previous life, the main railway lines in China were three horizontal and six vertical. Can Meishan provide some information on the three horizontal and six vertical lines?"
"The master can use all the rewards from hanging up in exchange for information about three horizontal and six vertical aspects in future generations."
"Exchange." Zhu Youjian answered directly without thinking.
After Meishan reaches level 6, the idle rewards increase significantly. Due to the current transportation situation in the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of materials are piled up in the capital.
It can be said that Zhu Youjian is not short of supplies at all now.
And it’s only been 7 days since the last time I received idle rewards.
Three horizontals and six verticals are the result of the efforts of countless people in later generations.
With these things,
How much time can be saved? How much detection consumption is saved.
Use the 7-day reward to exchange for three horizontal and six vertical information at no loss.
"Three horizontal lines: from north to south:
1. Beijing-Baotou Line - Baolan Line - Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line
2. Longhai Line - Lanqing Line - Qinghai-Tibet Line
3. Shanghai-Hangzhou Line - Zhejiang-Ganxi Line - Hunan-Guizhou Line - Guiyang-Kunming Line
Six vertical lines: from east to west:
1. Beijing-Harbin Line
2. Beijing-Shanghai Line
3. Beijing-Guangzhou Line
4. Beijing-Kowloon Line
5. Jiaoliu Line
6. Baocheng Line-Chengkun Line
The Beijing-Harbin Line starts in Beijing, passes through Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang and other provinces and cities, and ends in Harbin, the largest city in the north of Northeast China.
Beijing-Guangzhou Line
The Beijing-Guangzhou Line starts from Beijing in the north and ends in Guangzhou in the south, traversing central my country and passing through Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and other provinces.
