Vol 2 Chapter 1797 wonderful

  Chapter 1797 is wonderful

   Fortunately… For more than a year, the imperial court had too many things to do, so that people could not be distracted and worry about other things.

  The construction of the railway has also reached a critical moment.

   Sections of the railway began to be completed.

Whether it is the imperial court or the local state capital, the demand for railways has been continuously increasing. After the construction of certain sections, they have the conditions for opening to traffic, and they begin to open to traffic first. When the train rings, it brings a steady stream of people. The constant supply of goods, naturally… also transported countless local products, in exchange for a steady stream of wealth.

  Many big merchants from the capital almost flocked here.

   They followed the railway line to various state capitals, looking greedily at everything here.

Before this, there were patches of undeveloped CHU women’s land, and even here, there was almost no so-called business at all. Compared with Beijing Normal University and Baoding, the land price here can be described as cabbage-like, and there are Countless cheap labor. Even nearby, there may be countless resources that have yet to be discovered. In most places, the people are still self-sufficient, and the homemade cloth and earthen ironware have not been impacted by cheaper and better quality workshop products.

  The business competition in the capital has reached a cruel point, but such a state capital is like a blank sheet of paper.

  So… Countless “adventurers” came here with countless goods and wealth to expand their business territory.

  The top ten commercial firms in the capital, headed by Xishan, urgently need more raw material production areas, need to build new workshops, and need a lot of cheaper labor.

  Other merchants began to develop their business in the capital here.

  Brokers are pervasive, looking for any possible opportunity, matching people from the local state capital, and cooperating with merchants in Jingshi, Baoding, and Jiangnan.

   It seems like a carnival.

  Those people who discovered the train station in front of their house overnight, found that huge iron bump coming with billowing green smoke, and then…they found that their lives had begun to change drastically.

   Many places are recruiting workers and starting construction.

  Some merchants even recruited people in advance for short-term training, promising a high wage for the locals.

There are also people who found out in a daze that their back mountain, which was originally an unusual lump of soil, seemed to have been discovered a treasure. Then, a large number of people began to appear, first they used gunpowder to open the mountain, and then… established Passed the mountain road, and then… pulled countless mines directly down the mountain.

   Mountain people are naturally beneficial.

   Not only was he pulled to start a mountain, he was also given a generous salary.

  Sometimes in order to buy them, it is unavoidable to build some houses and roads in front of the village for them.

  Some clever people began to notice what had happened, and began to join the ranks of these outsiders, imitating their practices, and returned home after a year and a half.

  They were sitting in a carriage, swaggering through the market with a sound of silk and satin, and immediately attracted all kinds of curious and jealous eyes from people.

  Even they can, why can’t we?

  This is probably the voice of many people.

  It’s like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted out, “The princes and generals have a kindness” more than a thousand years ago.

  Others can get rich, why not yourself?

  People have lost their composure.

   It’s like suddenly being in the torrent of torrents, so… One by one, they plunged in without hesitation, without hesitation.

   But this kind of form is like a plague, which seems to be contagious. At first, the prefectures, then the counties, and finally, even the remote villages began to be affected.

  The strong men, unwilling to be content with poverty, put their bags on their backs without hesitation, and embarked on the road to Beijing, the government, and the county.

  Women also began to be encouraged to try to enter the workshop.

  On weekdays, they seldom go out, but the salary of the textile workshop is too attractive. Apart from the temptation of gold and silver, the newly learned scholars seem to try their best to change people’s ideas and encourage women to come out to work.

   Fortunately, many measures in the workshop ensured that there would be no idle men in the workshop. Some people began to try it, and then more women began to flock to it.

The women who were husbands and children, when they received their first salary tremblingly, they couldn’t help but put those small bills and some copper coins in their pockets, holding the bag in their hands. , Sweat came out of pinching the callused hands.

   It’s an amazing feeling.

  All of a sudden…as if I have become my own master.

  It seemed that the moment he took over the salary, the whole world was different. He felt confident and straightened up.

  In this prefecture and county, after all, there are still some old scholars who are trying their best to denounce such various phenomena.

  They are like a group of praying mantises blocking the car, eager to relieve their dissatisfaction with new things.

   But at this time, those countless people, no one listens to their complaints anymore. Earning money is important, others can live a good life, why can’t I?

   And other places began to urge the opening of the railway.

  So that some local and state capitals couldn’t wait, so they spontaneously began to recruit labor and went to the construction site to help.

  The imperial court has abolished the corvee, but the men who have been slack off the farm, after hearing many tempting rumors, can no longer bear it.

   They have plenty of strength.

  In the past, these strengths were not worth a penny.

   But if the railway is connected, strength can be exchanged for silver.

  The railway from Gansu to Yumenguan… is the most important thing for the Zhang brothers.

  The two tried their best to persuade the railway bureau not to build the railway.

   On the one hand… it is difficult to build, after all, it has to travel thousands of miles of desert, and the cost of supplies is astonishing.

  On the other hand, such a railway has no benefit at all.

  But the railway bureau was determined to repair it, and the Zhang brothers rushed to Lanzhou overnight, apart from beating their chests and cursing their mothers for a few days and nights.

   You need to fix it, right?

  Since the two of us brothers can’t stop it, then… let’s keep an eye on it, this money… can save some money.

  So… in the desert where there are no people for thousands of miles, there are always footprints of the Zhang brothers.

  They measured the waste soil and gravel on the ground with their feet, looking for any way to save.

  They stared at the personnel in each construction section, as if they had sharp eyes, and they could always find traces of some people’s greed and waste.

  Here…no one dares to mess with engineering materials.

No one dares to be greedy for ink, so that every foreman always feels uncomfortable, as if there are two pairs of eyes on the back of his head, staring at the back of his head all the time, which always makes them sweat at any time The creepy feeling.

  The Zhang family brothers kept urging the progress of the project.

   They brought the exploration team and needed to locate the construction in the desert.

  The tens of thousands of engineering teams were tossed to death by the two brothers.

  Their ragged clothes poured sweat and blood into the desert, constantly speeding up their progress.

  It took more than two years…most of the projects…have been completed.

   This is almost a miracle in the history of engineering.

  So that after the Railway Bureau heard the news, the first reaction was to shake his head.

  Engineers and technicians from all over the world rushed to Lanzhou one after another.

  Here…the new methods to speed up the construction progress one by one, as well as the reward and punishment system, began to be taught.

  …

  Yumen Pass is the westernmost pass of the Ming Dynasty.

  At this time, a steam train was approaching slowly against the wind, roaring loudly and roaring hysterically.

  Three days ago, this train departed from Lanzhou, today… finally started to enter the station wobbly.

  There are almost no people around this station.

  Because of the needs of future commercial layout, the railway bureau arranged the station dozens of miles away from the old city, away from the original commercial roads.

   Therefore, it is very quiet here today, only a few station personnel are waiting here.

  After the train came to a complete stop, Zhang Heling was the first to get off.

  Zhang Heling was ashen-faced, wearing plain clothes, even covered with patches, and wearing a sunshade hat on his head, still pale and emaciated.

  Getting out of the car, he looked up at the bright sun, feeling as if he had passed away.

  The three-day train journey is actually not very pleasant.

   Fortunately…he’s used to it.

  Behind… Zhang Yanling also jumped out of the car.

   “Brother, do you want to drink water and eat steamed cakes?” Zhang Yanling casually took off the package on his body.

Zhang Heling looked at Zhang Yanling angrily, slapped him backhanded, and scolded angrily: “Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, what do we bring with us? Now that we have arrived at Yumen Pass, we have to eat.” Eat at the station, wait for them to welcome us.”

  Zhang Yanling felt that his head hurt from being beaten by his brother. He shook his head, and his numb head seemed to have regained some sanity, and then he grinned: “Wonderful, wonderful, or brother knows everything.”
