Compared with Hao Fenglou's indifference, Xia Yuanji couldn't be calm.

He frowned, and then his brow loosened, he was sure that he was sitting in this behemoth, and the behemoth was indeed moving, and the violent shaking of the carriage and the sound of gold and iron grinding was so loud that it almost burst his eardrums.

But...... He didn't care, because as the presiding officer of the transfer department, he knew what it meant.

In this era when the traffic is basically relied on, when it is easy, only a dozen people can carry tens of thousands of catties or even 100,000 catties of goods...... It seems that it is not to be underestimated.

And now, Hao Fenglou stretched out his hand.

He was shaking in his heart, whether he was willing to stretch out his hand in the same way, of course he knew that if this was the case, then he would inevitably become a treacherous villain from a gentleman, Xia Yuanji naturally insisted on his own ideas, but now he was shaking, his own ideas were right or wrong.

Although Chen Xue is full of loopholes, this theory full of loopholes has given birth to such a sharp weapon, which should not be underestimated.

He has been living in Langshan for a while, and he has a lot of dependence on life here, Xia Yuanji likes it here, but he is biased, and he is not used to seeing certain things, this is his contradiction, just as now, he knows the wonderful use of this iron car, and can even directly change the pattern of the whole world, but for Hao Fenglou, he is still somewhat repulsed in his heart.

Hao Fenglou's attitude was very humble, not as hateful as before, and the iron car had stopped with a rumbling. But the steam in the sky was still blown into the carriage by the wind, to be honest. At present, this train is too primitive, but for Xia Yuanji, it is still epoch-making.

At this time, Hao Fenglou had already stood up, and in the face of the hesitant Xia Yuanji, he clasped his hands and saluted: "Please sir, don't shirk." ”

Xia Yuanji sighed, he finally moved. Because he wanted to know what Lang Son would be like when these rails were laid. What would Cochin look like.

"Okay, old man might as well give it a try."

Hao Fenglou breathed a sigh of relief, his tone became relaxed, and said, "I don't know if Mr. has any other advice." ”

Xia Yuanji said: "This iron car and rails. All are cast in steel. The most difficult place here is steel, so much steel, can Master Hou have it? ”

Hao Fenglou shook his head: "Although the Hao family has a lot of money, where is there so much steel, Mr. said with a smile." ”

Xia Yuanji frowned: "Since there is none, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

Hao Fenglou laughed and said, "Sir's words are wrong. Actually, as long as there is silver. There is steel, there is a demand for silver, there will be more people to open mountains and mines, there will be more people to refine steel in large quantities, 10,000 people are not enough, naturally there will be 100,000 people, one mine is not enough, there will be people to detect 10, 100 mines, not only iron, but also coal, these two things, are the foundation, so the most important thing is not steel, but silver. ”

Hao Fenglou did not tell Xia Yuanji that the construction of the railway will inevitably cause a shortage of steel on the market, and in the case of shortage, as long as steel can be produced, it will never worry about sales, which means that the metallurgical industry in Lang Son will enter a state of madness in the next many years.

A large amount of idle funds of those giants will become blast furnaces, become a huge chimney, from other provinces of the Ming Dynasty to flow in, will also become a large number of blacksmiths and apprentices, many mines will be mined, ore mined, almost no peddling, will be sold out by countless iron mills, iron mill tempered steel, will soon be bought by the railway bureau in large quantities, the railway bureau of the huge amount of money finally handed over to the iron mill, the iron mill will send a part of the silver to the iron ore owner, and at the same time, Hundreds of thousands of workers will be paid, which in turn will be converted into ready-to-wear and alcohol, which will go into theaters, bathhouses, and grocery stores.

In the north of Langshan, there are a large number of idle people, they have no land, no worries, they are called homeless, and in the land guarded by the Hao family, there are a large number of jobs, and more importantly, there are enough opportunities for you to turn over the carp, at that time, there will be more people with their families and mouths flocking in.

The entire industry and commerce in Lang Son is afraid that it will be a rapid progress.

And these, Xia Yuanji can't understand, since he doesn't understand, then there is no need to expand and say, when it comes true, he will naturally understand.

Xia Yuanji understood what Hao Fenglou said, he nodded with his beard and jaw, and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then first of all, it is to put up the shelf first, first recruit documents, formulate regulations, and then select and buy, select craftsmen, recruit labor, naturally, there must be a plan in advance, Rong Hou Ye gave the old man some time, and the old man had to think carefully about a charter first, but at the moment it is from scratch, there is an ugly sentence that has to be made clear, all the personnel in this railway bureau, Hou Ye can not ask, otherwise, this matter, Please ask Master Hou to ask for another master. ”

Hao Fenglou has some doubts in his heart, your mother, Lao Tzu paid for it, and he couldn't even interject his mouth?

It's just that Hao Fenglou really doesn't have a favorite candidate, in fact, there are not many people like Xia Yuanji who have taken charge of big projects, and they are honest and self-controlled, and they have done practical things.

Hao Fenglou gritted his teeth in the end: "Okay, it's settled." ”

The two hit it off, and Hao Fenglou's heart fell.

Immediately afterwards, Hao Fenglou explained to Cheng Zijin, encouragement is naturally essential, but some defects still have to be exposed, the iron car can go is just the beginning, this load and comfort are also a big problem, and even the structure of some iron cars has to be improved one or two, Cheng Zijin doesn't mind Hao Fenglou's In fact, his body and mind have long been linked to the iron car, and he knows that improving the process and structure is not an overnight thing, and many problems really need to be solved, so he said yes, and excitedly directed the train to slowly drive into an open-air shed at the end of the railway for maintenance.

Xia Yuanji's promotion to the general office of the Railway Bureau, in fact, not many people know, and even at the beginning, the signboard of the Railway Bureau was hung out, which did not attract the attention of many people, but when more and more news was released, and many people from the Hao family and silver were sent to the Railway Bureau, those businessmen with a sensitive sense of smell smelled a trace of silver.

Subsequently, a large number of people began to recruit, and after that, a group of craftsmen were specially trained, and when the news spread, Lang Son immediately fell into a state of madness.

Workshops dedicated to the manufacture of railroad rails have been erected, and a large amount of steel has been eaten, but there is as much steel as there is to pass the inspection, and so is the labor.

All of a sudden, when the news spread, the price of steel immediately began to rise.

Under the skyrocketing prices, the iron mills can no longer sit still, in the past, a thousand catties of steel, but only a net profit of more than a dozen taels of silver, but now, the profit is more than 20 taels, a full double, the same 10,000 taels of silver, to do other transactions, can earn 1,000 taels a year, but put into the iron mill, it may be 2,000 or even 3,000 taels.

What's more, the railway bureau has come up with a relatively high price, and it collects as much as it wants, which means that the iron mill only needs to produce, and even the brokers are not necessary, and the amount of production can be sold directly, which is almost equivalent to lying down to earn silver.

This means that you may lose money in any transaction, but as long as the railway bureau still has a demand for steel, you will always make a profit.

Originally, because there are more and more workshops recently, the competition between the workshops is quite fierce, so the market is a little sluggish, and then after the battle of Siam, the market began to rise slightly, but now, it is a straight line up, this iron workshop has become the most popular thing nowadays, not only that, because the railway needs a large number of sleepers, this wooden workshop is not bad, everyone is scrambling, for fear that they will miss the opportunity, the major commercial houses, are increasing the investment of capital, and the latest technology of ironmaking, now has made great progress, Many workshops even have a group of skilled craftsmen who specialize in improving the efficiency of ironmaking and ensuring the quality of steel.

The factories that have sprung up after the rain are under construction, and they naturally need labor to build workshops, brick mills have recently become popular, not to mention tile mills, as well as mechanical tool workshops specializing in ironmaking, and also take the opportunity to make a lot of money, and the most important thing is that it is still labor, the railway bureau is recruiting labor, and the countless new workshops also need a lot of manpower, and the demand for labor is higher for mining and timbering, and sometimes even in order to compete for a few laborers, some merchants are to the point of tearing their faces, so a group of people specializing in the introduction of population will come into being.

You must know that in a prosperous place like Langshan, where the three sects and nine streams gather, the Huimen has already appeared, and many gambling houses, green buildings, and even docks have been monopolized by them.
