Chapter 376 The Great Liao Ancestor? Wooden Rail Horse Carriage(2/2)
Cui Tao also didn't expect that Zhan Yaguang could convince so many village chiefs to commit to such a large project in such a short period of time.
"In this case, our governor's office has no objection, so what do you need us to do?"
Cui Tao was also puzzled. Since Zhan Yaguang had already convinced the village chiefs along the way and solved the funding problem, why should he go to the Governor's Office?
Zhan Yaguang said: "I want to arrange a military supplies transportation order from Ye to Wuwei!"
So that’s it.
Longyou has abolished free corvee service, and all people must pay for conscription.
Zhangye was the logistics base for this roundabout strategy, and it itself shouldered a heavy transportation task.
Cui Tao is also worried about this matter. If corvee is imposed, the cost of land transportation will be astronomical.
A very important reason why most wars in ancient times took place along large rivers is that waterways are the lowest-cost transportation channels.
Although there are Zhangye River and Macheng River in the Hexi Corridor, irrigation along the route is not a problem.
This is because these two rivers run north-south and cannot bear the transportation task from Zhangye to Wuwei.
Zhan Yaguang took the initiative to take over the matter, and Cui Tao became even more supportive of his plan.
However, Cui Tao still said: "I can leave the task of transporting military supplies to you. The price can be negotiated, but there is no cash payment."
“Why don’t you pay with cash?”
"Isn't Wangfu Bank going to issue some Modong Development Company bonds in Zhangye? The governor's office will use the bonds to pay your freight."
Bond?
Zhan Yaguang also hesitated for a moment. He thought for a while and said:
"Okay! But please invite Cui Zhizhou to attend our tailoring ceremony."
"It's easy to talk about."
"In order to make the people accept horse-drawn trains, after the wooden track railway is opened to traffic, please Cui Zhizhou take a trip to Wuwei City with us!"
Cui Tao: "?? Your horse-drawn train really won't overturn?"
"Probably not."
