Bang ......

Zhu Cihong arrived in Phoenix on June 20 and stepped on a special train of horse-drawn railcars. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a remnant of the war to destroy the Qing Dynasty, the short-lived military railway was not abandoned, but under the background of the large-scale development of Liaodong, it was full of operation and sought after. Not only did it obtain funds for subsequent repairs, but it also developed as a result, and the Liaoning Provincial Railway Company was established to continue to build railways.

At first, the raising of the share capital of the Liaoning Provincial Railway Company was quite worrying for North Korean and Chinese officials. Unexpectedly, the share capital was touted as soon as it opened. Under the leadership of Hengxin Commercial Bank, the share capital of 10 million taels was subscribed for 3 million taels in just one day. Coupled with the 50% share capital held by the central government and local governments in the form of land and military funds, the remaining 2 million taels of share capital were quickly snapped up.

The previous military railway was built urgently, although it took hundreds of thousands of labor to lay it in a short period of time. However, because of the conduct of the army and the urgency of the military situation, it is very improvised, that is, it does not care whether the materials will be discarded on the road, and it does not require a high standard of safe operation, and only hopes to be able to transport the military materials in a short time.

After it is converted to civilian use, it naturally requires reliable operation.

A large number of civilians and sappers who participated in the construction of that year retired one after another and joined the Liaoning Provincial Railway Company. Although a great deal of effort has been spent to improve the level of operation, a lot of money has been spent on customizing the quality of the steel rails at the Jingshi Iron and Steel Plant. But another problem began to plague the Liaoning Provincial Railway Company. Even to the point where it can't be solved, they don't dare to run the emperor's special train.

Again, it's a matter of security.

In those years, there were no manganese-containing steel rails, and only rails made of ordinary iron had been laid. Even this, I don't know how many people coveted it. In these years, even an iron pot is a rare wealth in the people's homes, not to mention that there are so many railroad tracks in these thousands of places.

Previously, Liaodong was a war zone, and anyone who dared to sabotage the railway could be executed on the charge of being a conspiracy, which severely stopped the unhealthy tendencies. However, with the development of Liaodong, countless people poured in. At this time, facing oneself and facing the enemy are obviously two different things.

Although the Liaoning Provincial Railway Company continued to publicize that the rails could not be used once cast, and they continued to patrol and investigate, they still couldn't stand the people who appeared on all sides and looked at the pieces of iron with their eyes shining. If you catch it tightly during the day, you steal it at night, and if you can't use it yourself, you secretly sell it to Mongolian tartars.

For China, which lacks copper mines, for a long time, Sichuan used iron money. For many people, iron can be directly linked to money.

In desperation, the Liaoning Provincial Railway Company had to publish an article in the Jinghua newspaper to seek a solution for the whole country.

Not long after, a brand-new slogan was posted on the shells of each train: the railway is the dragon vein of the provinces, and those who dig it are damned, and those who protect it are in good weather.

Subsequently, it was reported in various places that the railroad tracks were dug in such and such a place, and as a result, the rain poured down, and the heavens punished them. The words of a certain place to protect the dragon vein are effective, and the wind and rain are smooth. It is said that there are noses and eyes, and it refers to names and surnames, as if there are countless examples.

So, when Zhu Cihong set off to return to China, the road was smooth, and no people rushed to pick up the railroad tracks. There is no need to worry about where the railroad track is secretly picked, and the special rail car will derail and overturn.

Of course, perhaps more importantly, with the influx of materials in the customs and the sale of production outside the customs, Liaodong is full of vitality. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the railway company continues to inspect and punish severely, and no one uses their brains anymore.

Zhu Cihong sat in the special train, listening to the reports of local officials along the way. sighed at the wind and rain on the railroad tracks, and even sighed at the greatness of the Han family.

Peace after the war is rare, and the tenacious vitality of the hard-working Han family sons and daughters who took advantage of this opportunity is even more amazing.

Liao people from Shandong, North Korea, and Hebei rushed to their hometowns. People from all over the world who can't find a way to live at home also carry a reclamation certificate and a meager court subsidy, and rush to the vast black land.

They will take root and thrive here.

Zhu Cihong lifted the curtain on the special train and saw such a scene.

Outside the railway, it's almost harvest season. The golden ears of wheat bloom with heart-pounding power under the slanting sun.

"The vitality of the empire is slowly recovering." Zhu Cihong faced the wind and said softly.

In front of him are Wu Fu, Gao Mingheng, Chen Zhenhui and Cui Chengen, who followed this time.

Choi Sung-eun, of course, didn't come to Thorn as a life-saver.

This well-known lucky star of the DPRK has become a famous lucky person in the DPRK with two rescue achievements, and his position has quickly jumped from an obscure and unofficial white body to become the director of the DPRK Beijing Office at the same level as the Sixth Cao Judgment. It is not the status of the Beijing Office as almost a guest house in later generations.

Because of the special relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, and due to the backwardness of the communication conditions in these years, Choi Sung-eun has a very large range of authorization in the handling of affairs with the Ming Dynasty.

"This is Da Ming...... I've been running day and night for half a day, and I'm still in the territory of Daming. Choi Sung-eun sighed.

Everyone couldn't help but let out a good-natured laugh.

Chen Zhenhui smiled: "Where is this, not even Haizhou." Even when it arrived in Haizhou, it was only half of Liao Province, and the sum of Liaodong and Liaoxi was only one of the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"China is so big that it is ......" Cui Chengen couldn't help but sigh again.

At this time, Zhu Cihong saw Wu Fu take out a notebook and hand it to Zhu Cihong.

"The results are out, and sure enough, Your Majesty is right......" Wu Fu sighed again and again.

Zhu Cihong snorted, looked over, but found that Wu Fu was calculating a financial account.

It was this time that Zhu Cihong traveled to North Korea to pay for his income and expenses. Zhu Cihong's food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Ming Dynasty are naturally his own burden. Because of the compression of the team, although there are still more than 10,000 people, the expenditure is not huge. At least it is much cheaper than the previous military spending, after all, there was no war.

Later, when he entered North Korea, he naturally had a burden from North Korea. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all worshiped in North Korea.

Of course, the key is tariffs.

Not only is the tax scale of the Seoul Fair huge, but also the caravan accompanied by Zhu Cihong. They squeezed almost half of the horse-drawn railway's traffic, and also made a fortune quietly, with a transaction volume of as high as 5 million taels.

Among them, there is naturally honest tax payment.

Lin Lin finally came down and found that this trip did not lose money. Of course, this is to include local taxes. It's not just about the inconsistencies in Zhu Cihong's inner library.
