Chapter 975: The Influence of the Rail Car
(Thank you for your generous reward again!) )
Shayang County was originally a county with an extremely prosperous business, and after the Ming Dynasty was established, because it was the land of Longxing, its status was more stable, and the county guarded the great governance of the county, which had a faint meaning of the second largest commercial center in the Ming Dynasty in addition to the capital of Yue. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info compete with Taiping County, but in terms of business, it is the second. Even if Taiping City and Daye City have more workshops, they cannot be compared with Shayang County because of their geography.
It is a well-known thing in the world that Shayang County Shoufang Dazhi and Taiping County Shou Jin Jingnan are now at another point, and it is a matter of everyone in the world that they are at this point, every step up is an extremely difficult thing, and naturally no one can admit defeat. Although Taiping County is not as good as Shayang County in terms of commerce, he has a unique position in Daming because of Taiping iron ore, smelters and other military enterprises, and in terms of status, it is not inferior to Shayang County by half a point or even exceeded.
As many officials thought in their hearts, Daming could do without Shayang County, but it could not do without Taiping County.
The dispute between Fang Dazhi and Jin Jingnan has its own advantages and supporters. Fang Dazhi has a huge Shayang official behind him, and even Shoufu is faintly inclined to him, but Jin Jingnan has the support of many generals in the military, and the military research workshop in Taiping City under his command will make the military cheer every time he takes out a new weapon, and Daye City's steel output and quality are even higher than those of the countries in the world. This time, the Ming Dynasty decided to sell the most advanced weapons to the Chu State, relying on the quality of the steel that made these weapons, and other countries could not forge them at all, which was destined to make the things sold unsustainable.
The construction of the first rail car from Shayang County to Feng County is regarded as another test for the two. This time, it is not only to examine the overall planning ability of the two, but also to examine the overall concept and cooperation spirit of the two. If the two of them have a grudge against each other and have a disagreement with each other, it is unlikely that such a task that requires the concentration of manpower, material resources, and financial resources of the two counties will be successfully completed.
Now it seems that although the two of them look at each other unpleasantly, but on official business, but still sincere cooperation, from Feng County to Shayang County, although it is a horse and a flat river, there are no difficulties and obstacles, but after all, the construction of the rail car is the first time in history, the difficulties are naturally a lot, the two in this matter, but work together, and finally make this 100 miles long project only took half a year, and it was completed.
The construction of the rail car is a new thing, at the beginning, the people of the two places, completely did not know what this thing was, and the place where the rail car passed, naturally to occupy an area, occupy the house, if placed in other places, I don't know how much skin to pull out, but in Feng County or Shayang County, it is not a problem.
As Qin Feng's old base, when they knew that this was something that His Majesty the Emperor focused on, then all the problems would not be a problem. Qin Feng's prestige in these two places is incomparable. But whatever His Majesty the Emperor wants to do, it is naturally correct, and this is the most basic judgment of the people of the two places.
At the sound of the order, the people along the rail car immediately made a warm response, destroying the fields that should be destroyed, moving the houses that should be moved, and even some ancestral graves that need to be moved. You know, it's basically impossible to put it anywhere else.
The people know each other, the government is comfortable, so naturally it can't be a disadvantage to these obedient people, the relocation compensation is sufficient, anyway, the money to repair this rail car, most of it is raised by the railway department, funded, but it is mainly rich businessmen in Shayang County, other counties, such as Zhengyang County, there are also some big businessmen who want to come and get involved, but it is not surprising that they are excluded by the big businessmen of Shayang County. Their reasons are very simple, one, this is a matter of His Majesty's concern, it is the first track route of the Ming Dynasty, whether it can make money or not, this is a matter of pleasing His Majesty, how can others share the profits. Second, this is a matter of Shayang County, even if Feng County is now assigned to Taiping County, it did not belong to Shayang County before, and compared with outsiders, they are also two brothers behind closed doors. In the end, the result was that only Geng Jingming intervened in the foreign businessmen, because he was the convener who presided over the issuance of Shafeng rail car shares this time, and he was the only one who had a clear understanding of what was going on here, so he naturally couldn't get rid of it.
And in this matter, Jin Jingnan, the shou of Taiping County, is very breathless, because compared with Shayang County, there are no rich businessmen and businessmen in Taiping County, and there are many wealthy workshops in Taiping County, but they are all state-owned, and Jin Jingnan can't be the master to take out the money. After the rail line was repaired, the operation rights were vested in the Shafeng Line Operation Division under the Railway Administration, that is, to those big businessmen.
Once this line is put into operation, there may be nothing to do in Taiping County.
However, in the process of construction, it is mainly based on Taiping County, because the master craftsman who built this rail car is from Taiping County, and each track is from Taiping County. Then it is natural to make a good stroke.
Anyway, after the completion of this rail line, Taiping County's tax revenue has jumped to a new level. This made Jin Jingnan feel a little better. Once this line is completed and the effect expected by His Majesty is achieved, it is estimated that all the counties under the Ming Dynasty will rise up in groups, and the money situation of Taiping County will be very good! At that time, the Taiye Iron Mine and the smelter will not be able to supply this huge demand even if they do their best.
There is a shortage of manpower! After the banarians were wiped out, a large number of barbarian captured soldiers were enriched into the mines, and they had to serve labor for one to three years before they could obtain free status.
However, even so, with the gradual expansion of the mine and iron factory, the manpower is gradually insufficient. Jin Jingnan's eyes had already turned to the Qin State. I heard that the people there are hard-working and tall, so they are the best candidates for workers.
This time, His Majesty came to inspect, and when he explained this problem to him, Qin Guo had to find an opportunity to solve them, otherwise, where would the large amount of labor needed by Taiping County go.
Now the people of the Ming Dynasty have become more mouthful, and they are no longer willing to do hard things like mining. There are too many things that can make money in the Ming Dynasty and are much easier than digging. He had no choice but to try his mind elsewhere.
Like Jin Jingnan, Fang Dazhi is also happy now, the first rail line is officially completed, and the experimental operation, in the past few days, has been done several times, compared to the initial anxiety, now he is excited. Your Majesty is really wise, such a line is a golden hen that can lay eggs, and more importantly, the ownership of this golden hen is in the hands of businessmen who are mainly in Shayang County. This means that in the future, it is this line that will be able to provide an endless stream of taxes for Shayang County, to be honest, the first time I saw the transportation capacity of this rail line, Fang Dazhi himself was shocked.
As the guardian of a county and a high-ranking official of the state, he knew too well what such a large and fast transportation capacity represented.
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to take over.
The emperor came to inspect this first orbital line, and at the same time personally escorted the officials of the Shangshu Wang Hou to return to their roots. Wang Hou is a native of Feng County, although Feng County is now part of Taiping County, but it has always been a territory of Shayang County before, so Wang Shangshu is naturally a Shayang person. As a landlord, of course, he has to make all arrangements for Wang Shangshu's fallen leaves to return to his roots.
He was naturally eager to get the position vacated after Wang Shangshu left, which was basically the candidate for the prime minister. Although it is said that being the secretary of the ministry does not necessarily mean that he can become the first assistant, but after all, he is one step ahead of others. Make this arrangement, not only can please the emperor, but also the daughter and son-in-law of Wang Shangshu, Wang Yueyao and Shu Chang are not only important ministers of the country, but also personal friends of His Majesty the emperor, and have a great influence on the emperor.
Fang Dazhi is not as arrogant as Jin Jingnan, who grew up in a big family, naturally understands how important good interpersonal relationships are to accomplish something. Give people roses, and leave a lingering fragrance in your hands. A flower planted by yourself may be able to return a fragrance to yourself in the future.
The station of the rail car is located outside the city, and there are still a few miles away from the county seat of Shayang, the original piece of barren land, now there are countless houses, the most conspicuous, of course, is the station of the rail car standing tall, it is a shack erected by steel columns, the rail car is now lying quietly in it, a little farther away, is the horse post that raises horses, where the two hundred horses are concentrated.
Someone once proposed to set the station directly in the city of Shayang County, but this opinion was directly rejected by Fang Dazhi, just kidding, how expensive the land price and housing prices in the city are, don't these people know? Located in the city, how many people's houses will be demolished, and how much more money will the county government have to come up with? Moreover, does this have the benefit of half a penny in Shayang County's financial income?
And if it is built outside the city, the benefits are great.
First of all, it has created a large number of employment opportunities for the carriage and horse shops in Shayang County, and the materials transported by the rail cars are needed to be transferred to the city, so the carriages and horses of the carriages and horses are needed, as well as a large number of people. Second, the rail car was built outside, immediately led to the development of the surrounding business, that piece of wasteland that was not worth much money, now worth a hundred times, every time I think of this, Fang Dazhi is happy to laugh, when he learned that he wants to repair the rail line, immediately the county government came out, and acquired this piece of land at a low price, and now the rail line is completed, the surrounding land prices are swishing upward, just this one, the county government has made a profit.
The rail line is a system project, and it is not just a thing. Through this incident, Fang Dazhi understood a lot of truths.
