In the blink of an eye, it has come to the end of the year, but the local area has begun to be quiet.

If before that, the gentry's perception of the danger of the Lang Son chaebol and Chen Xue's may have been just ignorant, but they just felt that those were just a group of clowns who jumped off the beam, and they were just suffering from ringworm scabies.

Or, they don't have a deep understanding of these new classes, but now, they finally realize something.

This kind of consciousness is completely out of a profound lesson, the process of the rise of the chaebol, in a sense, is the process of digging the corner of the landlord, the chaebol is naturally greedy, and will always be insatiable, when they grow stronger, they will get Longwangshu, and they will never be satisfied.

Of course, this is not to say that these chaebols are so nature, but the operation of commerce, probably so, when the emergence of new industries, there is a market demand, the market demand is a hundred silk horses, naturally, there will be countless businessmen to devote themselves to it, build workshops, produce silk, to meet the demand of this hundred horses, but silk merchants are blind, many businessmen into it, the industry will be overheated, the final result may be the production of silk may reach two hundred, and at this time, if there is no new marketThere is no new demand, which means that countless people will probably go bankrupt, the merchants will be finished, the craftsmen who were previously employed in the workshops will also be finished, once unemployment occurs, there will be displaced people in the city, and once the silk merchants go bankrupt, then other industries that may be involved may also trigger a wave of bankruptcies, and then more and more people will go bankrupt, and more people will lose their jobs.

This means that when Hao Fenglou opened this chaebol model. As predicted by a certain Ma predecessor in later generations, this emerging interest group has encountered a congenital deficiency problem from the beginning, and they have repeatedly come to new crossroads one after another. There was no choice, or they would have suffered a catastrophe, an unprecedented crisis, the vast majority of them went bankrupt, countless workers lost their jobs, and these hungry and cold workers gathered together was enough to destroy Langshan. Or even the whole of Cochin, or they find a new market, or add more people. Generate new demands.

Demand must continue to expand in order to meet this blind expansion of production capacity, and at all times, the chaebol is hungry and thirsty. market for them. There will never be a time for satisfaction.

It is precisely because of this that this group of chaebols frantically created the conflict in Siam, and finally gave the imperial court the truth to Siam to mobilize troops, and after taking Siam, led by Hao Fenglou, said that the palace was moved, and the demand for the population was obtained. The plutocracy is almost to the point of starvation, and the population can serve as labor for them. It is almost a theorem, that the greater the population, the lower the price of labor, and that the larger the population, the greater the demand for food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

When they found that it was profitable, then no law in the world could restrain them, so Chen Xue became their propaganda machine, and trumpeted remarks favorable to them, so Hao Fenglou was in the imperial court, seeking a national policy that was beneficial to them for them, so Huimen became their minions, crazy infiltration, crazy plundering of the population, so many local officials who were bought by Huimen became their marionettes, giving the green light to their legal and illegal behavior.

In Lang Son, a resettlement place for displaced people has been set up, and a large number of displaced people have poured in, in addition to a considerable part of them to be sent to Siam, it is naturally not excluded that a part of the population is privately intercepted, and the big household intercepted is the Hao family, the Hao family is the backbone of the chaebol group, and the wealth and industry owned by the Hao family are almost more than the profits of the chaebols and firms from the second to the tenth place in a year, and the annual income of a year is even much higher than the annual silver income of the imperial court.

This year, millions of silver-patterned silver have been continuously invested in related industries, from silk cutting to ironmaking, to woodware, tea, and emerging rubber, porcelain, pottery, and even garments, shipbuilding, almost all related industries have been involved.

Now the Hao family has taken a fancy to the railway, the required labor, is countless, half a year down, due to abundant funds and labor, just fifty miles of the railway has been completed, from Haiphong to Lang Son is not far, but this section of the road, is the golden section, because a large number of goods throughput, most of them are carried out in this section, Lang Son workshop manufacturing many finished products, most of them have to be transported to Haiphong, and then through the sea, transport to all parts of the West, if it is busy, this section of the carriage, up to thousands of a day, this, can not meet the demand, Now, the advent of railways has greatly improved the situation.

It is said that the Hao family invested two million silver on this railway, which is really staggering, but now, its advantages are revealed, and once again all the businessmen have seen the Hao family's forward-looking and incomparable ability to absorb gold.

On the one hand, compared to horse-drawn carriages, it is obviously more punctual, and for the workshop, time is obviously extremely important, if the delivery of the order is delayed because of a heavy rain, this is not a small loss for the workshop. The train from Lang Son to Hai Phong departs on time every day, although there are delays, but at most an hour, it is impossible to delay for a day or two, and this alone is enough to make businessmen prefer to choose the train to transport goods.

On the other hand, the cost of transportation of the train is obviously much lower than that of the horse-drawn carriage, the same section of the road, the train can arrive in only six hours, but the horse-drawn carriage takes two days, the same goods, the train only needs one wagon, the carriage needs six horses, six cars, six coachmen, in these two days, six horses and six coachmen need to eat more than a dozen meals of forage, six or seven meals, and also need to live in a store, if it is raining, this number will be doubled. Therefore, under the condition of ensuring sufficient profits, the transportation price of the train is only half of that of the horse-drawn carriage.

The benefits brought by the train, naturally too numerous, not only that, the flow of personnel can become faster, but from the social use and even military use, the benefits are great, the organizational ability of the society has become stronger, this benefit, invisible and intangible, in layman's terms, in fact, is to reduce the loss, improve efficiency, for example, if the imperial court's annual income is 10 million silver, but with the organizational ability of the imperial court, coupled with its current conditions, the real silver can be used, I am afraid that only two million taels, The vast majority of the other eight million silver stripes were lost. If the income of Cochin is only one million taels of silver, but because the loss is minimized, the efficiency is greatly increased, and if it is used, it can play the effect of two million taels of silver.

If it is used for military purposes, not to mention, the imperial court has millions of military horses, but if the enemy attacks Guangdong, the imperial court can use less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, even if the imperial court is given a year to organize and prepare, I am afraid that it can be used is less than 100,000. But here, once there is a railway, this means that even if the Hao family only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, no matter where the enemy attacks, within ten days, these 10,000 soldiers and horses can reach any place, if the railway is built to Siam, Siam is in turmoil, even if the original military horses in Siam are only 3,000, but in just a few days, there will be tens of thousands of Lang Son military horses can arrive in Siam to quell the rebellion, which is equivalent to Lang Son's military strength invisibly, increased several times.

The advent of the railway, so that a large number of merchants' goods began to start from the railway, the first railway, naturally not like the later generations, the construction of infrastructure, often can be maintained not at a loss is good, after all, there are many alternative modes of transportation in later generations, but in this era, the emergence of the railway, is the epoch-making significance, it almost effortlessly, it defeated the water transport and carriage transport, and then reached the monopoly, the income of daily transport, only less than a month, as high as three thousand taels of silver, excluding expenses, there are more than two thousand taels, In a year, the net profit can reach more than 600,000 lines of silver, not to mention, the income is said to increase, and it may even exceed more than 1 million pieces of silver in a year.

Such a profit immediately made all the businesses red-eyed.

And then, the railway bureau began to raise funds, to build a railway to all parts of Cochin and even to Siam, Siam produces grain, as well as a large number of minerals, I don't know how many goods will be dumped into Siam in the future, and how many Siamese minerals will be transported to Lang Son and Cochin workshops, the future income is extremely promising, as for the provinces of Cochin, although the income will not be higher than Haiphong, but after all, this railway is a business of sitting on the ground to collect money, as long as the silver is invested in the past, it will not be a problem to collect silver for hundreds of years, children and grandchildren, are not worried about livelihood, therefore, this investment in the railway, immediately became a hot spot at the moment, almost countless businesses and chaebols, now all have to look for brokers everywhere to consult, countless bookstores, are calculating the income and prospects, only a short effort, tens of millions of taels of silver appeared on the books of the railway bureau.

The construction of the railway, so that the iron mill and sleeper workshops suddenly become hot, like mushrooms after a rain, countless subway workshops in Jiaozhi everywhere, now fools know that investing in iron mills and sleepers, is a sure profit and not loss business, and the demand for iron mills has increased, the demand for iron ore and logs has also increased greatly, which leads to zhì, wood mining and mining more prosperous, the demand for labor, has reached an endless situation.
