Chapter 1536, the unsolvable conspiracy

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is really difficult to build railways in Southwest China.

    At the national level, investment and costs can be ignored. In order to consolidate the development and rule of the country, no matter how much money is invested, it must be poured in.

    But now the Ming Dynasty is transforming into capitalism. Under capital, capital is all about profit. Railway investment is huge. If there is not enough profit, no one will invest. What's more, the investment in railway construction in the southwest is simply a bottomless pit.

    Furthermore, the Ming Dynasty now has lands such as Australia, Golden Continent, and Liaodong. There are many places where immigrants can immigrate, and there are also a large number of overseas colonies and vassal states.

    Rather than spending a huge amount of money to build railways, it is better to move all the people out of these places. The cost of moving people out may not require that much money investment.

    "It is the best choice to go through Jiangxi, which is low-cost and can also connect with prosperous places such as South Zhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian."

    "The best choice is to go to Huguang, the hub of the city and the thoroughfare of nine provinces. You have to go to Huguang to go south to north, east to west. How can Huguang not have railways?"

    "It's okay to build the railway. How much money can you raise by yourself?"

    "With this dense network of rivers and lakes, no matter how many ducks you sell in Huguang, you can't raise the funds to build the railway, right?"

    "There is no need for adults to take care of this."

    "Of course I have to take care of it. The funds of the imperial court are taxes paid by the emperor. Naturally, they cannot be thrown into places where they shouldn't be thrown away like this."

    "What is the wrong place to throw it?"

    "It seems like you in Jiangxi must invest."

    "At least we have raised 20 million taels of silver ourselves. Even if there are no funds from the court, we Jiangxi people will use the efforts of the entire province to build the railway."

    Wei Ying and Gao Jiang were going back and forth with each other, they were red-faced and refused to give in to each other.

    "Okay, you two adults, don't argue anymore. There are some things where it's useless to argue."

    Seeing them arguing, Liu Jin also spoke out.

    If they continue to fight like this, there will never be any results.

    "Mr. Liu, you have seen our determination to build the railway in Jiangxi. Even if we tighten our belts, we still have to build schools and build railways. It is best if the court can support us, but even if the court does not support it, we will not  I will build the railway with my own strength."

    Gao Jiang looked at Liu Jin with a smile and said very firmly.

    He knew that the young man in front of him had huge abilities, which not only had a huge influence on the government and the opposition, but also had a huge influence on the capital world.

    If Liu Jin is willing to help, and with the many officials in Jiangxi in the court, the railway construction is a sure thing. Even if the court contributes, with Liu Jin's huge influence, it will be difficult to raise enough funds to build a railway.  Very relaxing thing.

    "Mr. Liu, the same is true for us in Huguang. The railway must be built, no matter what, it must be built."

    Wei Ying also quickly expressed his stance, at least in a decisive manner.

    Liu Jin looked at the two of them. Wei Ying and Gao Jiang were both hard-working officials, but there were differences.

    Wei Ying pays more attention to promoting the development of a place in small aspects, such as promoting mechanized farming, rice field duck raising technology, etc. He is also one of the few officials in this era who is willing to take action in a blink of an eye, and he is also quite capable of action.

    Huguang has developed rapidly in recent years and its economy has grown rapidly, which is inseparable from many of his policies.

    Gao Jiang does not pay much attention to these specific details. Relatively speaking, he pays more attention to the long term, starting from two aspects: education and transportation.

    The investment in education is very large and long-term, and it is not possible to see the effects in a short while, but after ten, twenty, or decades, the returns on investment in education will emerge.

    The investment effect in transportation is very obvious, and he immediately targeted railways to keep up with the development of the times.

    He is a rare official with far-sightedness, and he is also a practical official.

    "Wei Ying, Gao Jiang, are not very famous in history, and Zhong Fan, the chief envoy of Guangdong, are all hard-working officials. The more such officials, the better."

    Liu Jin was quite happy in his heart.

    The role of self-formulated official evaluation system has gradually become apparent. Officials at all levels are increasingly implementing imperial decrees. From feudal officials to local officials, they want to live their lives drinking tea and reviewing cases as before.  It's not possible anymore.

    You must be like officials like Gao Jiang, Wei Ying, and Zhong Fan, and try every means to develop a local economy, transportation, education, etc.As the main artery between east and west, I guess you have also thought about building a Yangtze River Bridge. South Zhili is also considering building a Yangtze River Bridge.  "

    "So I would like to remind you that if you want to build a bridge over the Yangtze River, it must be built high so that it will not hinder the passage of ships on the Yangtze River. Especially with the emergence of steamships, ships will become bigger and bigger in the future. If the bridge is built  If it is not high enough, it will become a chain, locking up the water transportation of the Yangtze River, which will be harmful to Huguang and Jiangxi."

    Liu Jin said what he said to Wang Shouren again to the two of them.

    "Yes, if large ships cannot pass, Jiujiang and Poyang Lake will be ruined. This is not acceptable."

    When Gao Jiang heard this, he immediately opened his eyes wide and said quickly.

    "Yes, yes, we must build higher. We in Huguang are also counting on water transportation now."

    When Wei Ying heard this, he immediately seemed to be awakened by someone and said quickly.

    "It's good to know, go back."

    Liu Jin nodded and issued an order to expel the guests.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
