"We can start construction first, and we can discuss financing slowly. If we can't reach an agreement, the railway will be built."

Standing in the newly established Hanyang Railway Bureau compound, as the chief, Mr. Zhang, always wants to give his subordinates and his disciples a little bit of confidence.

With such a promise, this freshman yamen can have motivation.

The original Rail Bureau did not merge with the Hanyang Railway Bureau. If there were no steam locomotives on the rails within a few years, the merger would be a waste of management resources.

The entire Hanyang Railway Bureau is actually another vest of the Rail Bureau. The main administrative staff are paid by one person and two jobs. Except for the technical consultant, they are dedicated to their positions, the rest of their colleagues are very familiar with each other.

"Eunuch, the construction of Han'an Line has started in many places, and the labor cost is probably not small. For example, Yingcheng Station west of Jianshui, in addition to building a bridge to open to traffic, it also needs to clean the water-rich swamp... The cost of this station should be several times the cost elsewhere."

It is dozens of miles away, but the construction cost is much higher. Not only do roads and bridges have to be used, but the water conservancy department must also be coordinated.

Zhang De nodded, but still asked his subordinates to be calm: "How wide is the Jiangxia Shuanglong Bridge? Since we can build the Jiangxia Shuanglong Bridge, we can build the Hanshui Railway Bridge. If we have accumulated technical experience over the years, can we wait until later? Although it is easy to start and then difficult to save effort and time, the difficulties are used to overcome them. If we encounter difficulties, let them go first. This is not the style of our Wuhan..."

Speaking of this, Zhang De looked at the group of officials who were mostly his students. These people were not old, and none of them were over thirty years old: "If you fear and keep going, can Wuhan have the current situation today? The sage said: Ten thousand years are too long, so you can seize the day!"

"yes."

I didn't feel ashamed or anything. As a bureaucrat, I naturally had to look at it from a professional perspective. But now Zhang De set the tone is obviously not just as simple as civil engineering. Just looking at problems from a professional perspective will lead to problems.

When listening to what the teacher said as a student, the officials naturally knew it.

The prospect of a place is often an invisible and intangible spirit. When strangers enter that place, they can feel the momentum and enthusiasm, and naturally, they will feel that they are full of vitality.

If a place is extremely rich but "dead", if you have some knowledge, you will know that this is just the last flash before the twilight.

"Which saint said this?"

"You can't even memorize the Analects of Confucius, ask me a question."

"There is this in the Analects of Confucius. I will go to the assistant teacher in Xichengzhai to ask."

"Ask a chicken, it's important to do things!"

After the lecture, many people suddenly felt a little enlightened. They originally thought that it was a waste to repair the Shuanglong Bridge, but now it seems that the Shuanglong Bridge really should be repaired.

With the experience of building Shuanglong Bridge, it seems that it is not difficult to build a steel bridge on the Shushui River.

When Shuanglong Bridge was built, many people thought that one day when they wanted to build a cross-river bridge on the Yangtze River, it would definitely be an unprecedented great cause, and the natural barrier turned into a thoroughfare... It was simply divine power.

"The migrant workers required in each section of the Han'an Line have been summarized. Observed that the employment gap is huge. If the labor force of Wuhan Workshop is transferred..."

The staff in the Jianghan Observation Office were all a little worried. The construction period was initially determined to be five years. In these five years, whether the roads can be opened across mountains and rivers can be built on bridges. In addition to money, there are also people.

Wuhan has a population of two million, so it is no problem to draw the sack, but there will be losses if the sack is taken. For many people, this is cutting the flesh and bleeding.

"Cross this report, copy and print, and distribute it to Hunan, where the mountains are close to the prefectures and counties."

Zhang De said without even raising his eyelids.

"Observe, why is this?"

The staff member was puzzled, so he asked.

"The prefectures and county officials know whether the railway is good or not. But the only one in Wuhan can build railways in the world. Can we say that the court can build railways to their territory depends on our expressions. Then... why should Wuhan build railways?"

Lao Zhang's words suddenly made the staff clear. Not everyone near the prefectures and counties can easily reach Wuhan via water to trade.

Typically, Puqi County, Junshui is a bird, but it cannot get up without the construction of the lane to Puqi. Similarly, some remote counties and military camps in Yuezhou, such as Yalanyi, Changjiang County, and Baishayi, are actually not very efficient in waterways. Moreover, the water thieves in "Hunan" are just like Taihu water thieves between Suzhou and Hangzhou, and are notorious for hundreds of years.

Local aristocratic races can still gain dividends with the development of Wuhan, but ordinary powerful and small and medium-sized landlords can only stare at me. The poor families have never had the chance to take this stage.

Now Wuhan has given an opportunity. For poor families and local county magistrates, this is a matter of mutual benefit. Even for the aristocratic races, it is also a matter of icing on the cake and harmless.

So, what Lao Zhang said to his staff is the same even if the states and counties cannot wait for the railway, they will be able to wait for the railway to be opened to traffic.

The heavy-loaded carriage produced by SF Express can still run on the lane, with a cart of two or three thousand kilograms. As long as it is not transporting shit, how can it lose money these days?

The area that has become popular because of the road in recent years is particularly famous in Chu. It is Huxi Avenue hosted by Fang Xuanling. It starts from Nanchang and leads directly to the Yangtze River. It has been built for many years and connects several states.

The size of the entire Nanchang land may be less interesting than Suzhou and Hangzhou in Jiangnan, but it is not bad at all compared to Xiongzhou like Changzhou and Xuanzhou.

Starting next year, the local Yuzhang name will be officially changed to Nanchang. The person who handles this matter is Empress Changsun. You can imagine how amazing the development of Nanchang is.

With Nanchang’s pearls and jade in front of him, how could the prefecture and county magistrate who was born with a salty fish give up the hand of friendship handed over to Wuhan?

Of course, since it is the hand of friendship, we must help each other.

At this time, when Wuhan was building roads, what happened to the foot strength of the civilians? It was not that they didn’t give them food.

Officials will take each of them to get what they need. Moreover, even if they consider it secretly from the perspective of currying against Zhang De, the surrounding prefectures and counties will not give up this opportunity.

There is no need to explain it thoroughly when you hear the strings.

"If it is divided into Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, and Shannan, it will save a lot of effort."

However, Lao Zhang said again, "This report will also be given to the Ministry of War, Ministry of Works, and Metro Water Supervision."

After changing his mind, the staff naturally understood the truth.

Unlike other projects, Wuhan’s projects are responsible for money. So, the Ministry of War has thrown away so many soldiers in the local area, but it can’t go to the battlefield and fight, so why not make some extra money?

In the past, when the military commander was in charge, the soldiers of the government took turns to farm. When the Zhechong Mansion was reorganized, because the empire was really awesome, Emperor Li had already changed his mind. He held the elite in his hands to professionalize and professionalize. The market situation of the local Zhechong Mansion was relatively awkward.

Because Wuhan or the emperor, they all use different ways to squeeze the living environment of small farmers. Even if small farmers were the foundation of this empire.

From the emperor's perspective, small farmers are good, serfs are better.

From Zhang De's perspective, small farmers are good, workers are better.

But the two people with the least conscience in the empire are absolutely the future of most areas of the empire.

So, when this report was thrown to the desk of the big boss of the Ministry of War, if the big bosses don’t throw out the local soldiers to make money, wouldn’t it be useless for their talents?
