    ¡°In addition, industrial development must achieve balance and quality issues. We cannot engage in large-scale steelmaking just for the sake of annual steel production, let alone build large-scale steel plants before other industries have improved.

    Our annual steel production can be as much as we need. Reducing production when it is not needed will not lead to the collapse of a large number of steel plants, nor will it cause a serious drop in steel prices.  You, the Ministry of Industry, should go down and plan these things for me.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to see another situation where the annual steel output has gone up, but our real industrial product output has not gone up.  "

    Zhou Weiguo was talking, and Zhou Jiachen was nodding.

    Zhou Weiguo then turned his attention to Li Quanxin of the Ministry of Communications.

    ¡°Our country¡¯s fiscal revenue has increased dramatically in the past two years. Compared with three years ago, our monthly fiscal revenue is more than 20 times that of three years ago. And the allocation to your Ministry of Transportation is also increasing.

    Now I want to know, what is the traffic situation across the country?  How many kilometers of railways have been paved?  "

    Zhou Weiguo asked in a deep voice.

    "Bureau, before we carried out the large-scale railway plan, the total length of railways across the country was 18,000 kilometers. This data is not accurate, it is just a rough data. Because Xiaolong has rummaged through the information and only found 194  The total mileage of railways in nine years and the total mileage of railways in 1930. Statistics were made after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, China built railways at an average rate of 300 kilometers per year. Therefore, according to various data, plus the previous  The ten-year golden period of development was also a peak period of railway construction. It is roughly estimated that before the protagonist's large-scale railway plan, the total mileage of China's railways was about 18,000 kilometers.

    However, because many railways have different widths and cannot be used universally, our Ministry of Transportation urgently dismantled and repaired about 12,000 kilometers of railways, all of which were changed to 1672 mm wide gauge.

    In addition, on this basis, we also urgently built 21,000 kilometers of main railway lines and some branch railway lines for industrial purposes.

    There are about 64,000 kilometers of roads built across the country, all of which are paved with cement.  In addition, we built 53 bridges and dug eight tunnels"

    Zhou Weiguo slowly listened to Li Quanxin¡¯s report on work. Although the economy could develop with the help of World War II, industry could also take off with the help of World War II.

    The military can also be tempered by war, but only these infrastructures, these things that belong to a country's heritage, cannot be completed in a very short time.

    It can only be built well if it takes a long time to settle.

    No matter how developed your economy is and how strong your industrial capabilities are, it will take time to complete the infrastructure construction.

    "The ability of China in later generations to have such fast transportation is entirely due to the accumulation of the past few decades, otherwise it would not be possible to complete it in the past few years.

    After a long time, Li Quanxin finished speaking, while Zhou Weiguo slowly leaned on the chair.

    "The construction of traffic roads is our country's infrastructure, and it is also a necessary process for economic development, trade development, and communication development. Whether it is military or civil, we need to have convenient and fast transportation.

    In addition to transportation, transportation construction is also essential.  Judging from your current speed, it is worthy of praise that you have achieved such an achievement in the past two or three years, and it also shows that your Ministry of Transport is working hard.

    But this is not enough for us. The total length of railways in the country is only 40,000 kilometers. Even if we add the Silia Grand Railway and the Central Asia Railway in Silia that we have just adopted as our own territory, these total  The total railway mileage is only about 50,000 kilometers.

    Our country¡¯s territory is more than 30 million square kilometers, the largest in the world, but how much of the world¡¯s total railway mileage does it occupy?  "

    Originally, Li Quanxin was a little proud of having built 21,000 kilometers of railways and such a long highway.

    Zhou Weiguo knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, and a smile appeared on his face.

    "Don't be discouraged! I said it just now! You have still worked hard, and the results are not small. The reason why I say this is to tell you. Don't be complacent just because you have some achievements.

    In 1916, Mijian had a total railway mileage of more than 400,000 kilometers. Although they have dismantled many over the years, their total railway mileage is now about 300,000 kilometers.

    So we have to work harder.  Silia and the areas further north are sparsely populated, not to mention anywhere.But our local railway line must be completed first.  If you have any difficulties, tell me and I will solve them for you!  "

    Zhou Weiguo said so much, and the last sentence was a guarantee to Li Quanxin, but it was also an order to him.

    If you have any difficulties, you can come to me and I can solve them for you, but you have to do this for me.

    "Commander, let me tell you something. We are in urgent need of something right now!"

    Now Li Quanxin¡¯s Ministry of Transport has no shortage of money, and the Ministry of Finance has allocated a lot of money.

    "But the same thing? What thing?"

    "People! Bureau Chief, more than 200,000 of the laborers we captured from Inni have died of exhaustion. In addition, Bureau Chief, you have used those prisoners of war to form a servant army. So now we are in urgent need of people! We need talents.  "

    Zhou Weiguo had heard about the exhausting work of building railways and roads over there.

    Those captured laborers are working on the railway every day, no matter it is severe cold or midsummer, the supervisory personnel of the Ministry of Transportation don¡¯t care so much.  Anyway, if you are not Chinese, you will be exhausted if you are exhausted, as long as you can finish the work on time.

    This has also led to a saying that is now circulating: Under every sleeper lies the body of a foreigner.

    "How many people do you still have to build railways now?"

    Zhou Weiguo asked after pondering for a while.

    "There are still 400,000 people building railways and more than 300,000 people building roads. But these are not enough. The main roads we built in the past two years include other railways, mainly in the north.

    The terrain is gentle, and many areas are plains, so the death of those who died is relatively good.  It¡¯s just that when we later built the railway in the southwest, a large number of people died whether it was building bridges or digging tunnels.

    Especially during the construction of the railway from Pancheng to Kuncheng, tens of thousands of people died.  The terrain there is so steep that the workers building the railway will fall off the cliff and die if they are not careful!  ¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
