Brother Guo Xing is very capable, or the team around him is very strong!

The Dazhou Academy, Qi Tongwen’s academy, and the Champions Club, the two strongest places provide the smartest heads of Dazhou, while the latter places are the strongest hands and feet.

Brother Guo Xing calmly controlled the two forces and changed the whole world according to his own ideas.

He is not an emperor or a prime minister, but he has powerful power. The name of this power is: Science!

The more you study, the more you feel that science is powerful, especially the emergence of the steam engine. In the past, the things that only dared to be longed for in Ah Zi's dreams became reality. There was no need for people to lift water, no need for cattle to cultivate the land, and no sails to drive the boat... This is just the beginning. After verifying the function of the steam engine, Brother Guo Xing immediately formulated an ambitious plan!

He wanted to connect the cities of the world together, and from then on, the merchants were open, and a thousand miles a day, and there was no barrier in the whole world. There was no gap between north and south, east and west, and the whole world was one.

If we can really do this, Qin Shihuang's straight path is simply a pediatrics and is not worth mentioning! Brother Guo Xing can also face his father proudly and tell Guo Wei that the child has brought his father's country to an unprecedented height!

Although the son did not inherit the throne, his son did a greater career than the emperor! How many emperors can there be remembered for all ages?

But who in the world can not know the Great Wall, the Grand Canal, and the Dujiangyan!

Brother Guo Xing thanked Ye Hua from the bottom of his heart. Ye Hua, who is like his brother and father, brought himself into the unimaginable scientific world. Brother Guo Xing is a very persistent person. If he sets his goal, he will not change easily. He abandoned the comfort of the royal palace and threw his wife and children aside. He worked with craftsmen in the Shangjunfang alone, rested together, improved technology together, and experimented continuously... Finally, he developed a steam engine with appropriate size and greater power.

In order to verify the effect, he paid out of his own pocket, spent all the prince’s salary, and various patent shares income, and built a fifty-mile railway around the Shangjunfang!

Don't underestimate the railway that is just fifty miles away, but the effect is amazing.

This railway connects the capital and the Shangjunfang together, and people can take the train to and from the two cities... Once the railway is launched, it shows its strong advantages.

First of all, the train speed is not slow, almost reaching a speed of 30 miles per hour, which is similar to a horse. The train's capacity is at least 150 tons, almost equivalent to 3,000 stones. A carriage can only pull at most twenty stones, and the speed is far from comparable to that of a train.

Speed ​​plus capacity, this is efficiency, terrifying efficiency!

The goods produced by Guanjunfang are quickly transported into the capital by train, and the ore transported from the Bian River is unloaded at the wharf, and are sent to Guanjunfang by train, and are turned into steel and copper materials, and processed into exquisite goods.

Not only is there any problem with shipping goods, but you can also transport people. Every morning and evening, you can see many people taking trains to and from the two cities. On the land of Dazhou, a commuter group finally appeared!

The crowds were crowded with cans, and many people wanted to build more railways. Before they were built, people could only install handrails outside the train.

So you can see such a scene where people climbed the handrail and stood outside the train, standing in the wind, with their clothes floating, like a god descending to earth, which was so proud.

Some people even wrote poems and praised them, which became a wonder of Kaifeng and became a beautiful story.

Ye Hua was amused and cried, and he didn't know if anyone would say that the people in Kaifeng would cheat!

Who is not good at learning? I have to learn from my third brother?

Ye Hua couldn't ban it. On the one hand, the transportation capacity was indeed insufficient, and on the other hand, the speed of the train was not very fast, so you could stick it out. Believe it or not, if it was a high-speed rail, even the third brother wouldn't have the courage to stick it out!

No matter what, just use the wealth you squeezed from your third brother to build the railway!

Ye Hua made up his mind.

He first decided to invest 50 million taels to build a railway from Kaifeng to Youzhou!

After the plan was announced, the whole country was hotly discussed and many people were in a state of excitement.

A railway is flowing wealth!

As early as Ye Hua's push, Youzhou became the number one important town in the north, with a strong industrial foundation, and shouldered the important task of using troops to the north.

There are all in the capital, and all in Youzhou are needed, and there is also a developed wool textile industry in Youzhou. In addition, Youzhou is connected to Liaodong and the grassland. After the railway is completed, the steel ore, cattle, sheep and livestock in the south of the desert, and the grain, coal and timber in Liaodong can all be transported to the capital through the railway.

The one who originally undertakes this task was Yongjiqu.

Inland shipping has common disadvantages. The river channel is too shallow and easy to accumulate and cannot pass through large ships. The speed is extremely slow. It also freezes in winter and cannot be navigated. In addition, in order to maintain the smooth flow of the river channel, the amount of silver spent every year is amazing. Even if the Dazhou family has a rich foundation, it cannot afford it.

The construction of railways and the replacement of Yongji Canal allowed countless people to see business opportunities.

On the other hand, the railway has unparalleled strategic value. If the Kaifeng and Youzhou railways are unobstructed, within seven days, 10,000 elite imperial guards can be placed on the border to resist the attacks of barbarians at any time.

Aren’t the grassland cavalry known as coming without shadow or going without trace? Isn’t it powerful maneuverability?

But in front of the railway, their mobility is simply not worth mentioning.

First build to Youzhou, then build from Youzhou and Yunzhou, and then build to the original Tokyo Prefecture of Khitan. With these three railways, the northern border of the Great Zhou will be as stable as Mount Tai!

Ye Hua placed the construction of the railway in the north, from north to south, and he had his own considerations.

The north has abundant coal and iron, which is suitable for the development of the steel industry, and steel is the cornerstone of railway development.

First develop the heavy industrial base in the north, and then advance to the south, and you will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But the merchants in the south couldn't wait. They had already observed the railway between Beijing and Guanjunfang. A short railway could bring such a big change. If it was built thousands of miles or thousands of miles, how worth looking forward to!

After the court announced the plan for the first railway, Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou... all merchants from all over the country could not sit still. They took action and strongly called for railway construction to be started in the south at the same time.

Many businessmen simply said that if the court lacks start-up funds, they can raise funds on their own, expropriate land, and carry out railway construction without waiting for the court's orders.

This time, parliaments in various places spoke in unison, whether it was workers or peasant representatives, including military scholars, they all strongly demanded that they would not give up until they practiced!

Of course, Ye Hua had to follow the hearts of the people, but building a railway was not a trivial matter. He personally presided over the cabinet meeting and invited representatives from all parties to come.

As a technology provider, Brother Guo Xing sat next to Ye Hua. He pursed his lips and tried to suppress the joy in his heart. He was afraid that he would laugh out loud when he opened his mouth.

No matter what you do, there are people who benefit, others who suffer, noisy, and no peace.

Only technological progress and technological development are what truly make everyone profit!

And he led the development of technology and stood at the forefront of the times!

Brother Guo Xing stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Hua first. His gratitude was beyond words. Ye Hua smiled slightly. He watched Brother Guo Xing grow up from a baby, marry and have children, and start his own career. The pride in his heart is no less than Brother Guo Xing.

"King Shang, tell me about it!"

"yes!"

Brother Guo Xing cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, the construction of railways is to connect various cities, facilitate cargo exchanges and personnel communication. Moreover, the cost of railway construction is very high and cannot be built casually. Therefore, when we build railways, we must have a game of chess across the country and a network in the world!"

Brother Guo Xing knocked on the table and shouted: "The standards of the railway must be consistent, and the locomotives and carriages used must also be the same... If the railway standards are different, a truck of coal will be transported from Youzhou to Daming Mansion and stopped, unloaded, then loaded into a new car, and then sent to Kaifeng... The increase time will be at least more than double!"

"I don't want to see waste of resources, nor do I want all parties to act blindly, so all localities must obey the overall situation and carry out unified planning. This is our bottom line and we will never give in."

Brother Guo Xing showed his tough attitude straight to the point.

He would not allow road construction at will, which is Ye Hua's attitude... In fact, many basic projects really have to be consistent across the country to avoid wasting resources. This is easy to say, but difficult to do.

Countries that get up early, such as the United States' railways, although they have the largest mileage in the world, are very inefficient. This is the private investment railway. The standards are different. The same country has different railway networks... including power grids and communications.

If you leave it to a private person, traveling across the country from east to west, maybe you have to prepare several telecom cards, causing serious waste of resources.

With Ye Hua as his guidance, Brother Guo Xing took the right path directly in planning the railway.

"Of course, I know your enthusiasm for investment. In fact, with the financial resources of the court, it is impossible to quickly build many railways. Therefore, the court can absorb your funds. In addition, after the railway is completed, the operation and maintenance work can be handed over to you in the form of contract!"

Brother Guo Xing scanned the audience and smiled and said, "It depends on how much money you can pay!"

It is very clear, route planning, technical standards, construction acceptance... all of these are the responsibility of the court. Merchants can only invest in shares and then be responsible for the operation after the completion of the construction. I believe that the merchants will be responsible for their lunch boxes. Their lunch boxes will be more delicious!

Ye Hua crossed his legs and said nothing. The conditions offered by Brother Guo Xing were not quite generous, and they were even a bit harsh, which was much worse than what many businessmen hoped for.

But do they have a choice?

After a brief silence, the representatives of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce stood up first, "We Suzhou Chamber of Commerce are willing to invest 10 million taels first! If..." He paused for a moment before continuing: "If we build the railway in Suzhou, we are willing to pay another 20 million taels!"
Chapter completed!
