Chapter 2596 Gui Zi Juan takes into account both public and private matters, and subsequent preparations
Rail tracks paved with pure iron?
Horse-drawn carts linked together in a row?
Feng Ziying’s idea is that a horse-drawn train can pull four to five carriages, and a special carriage can transport one to two to three tons of goods, which is completely affordable.
The rolling friction on the rails is much smaller and does not require much speed. The braking problem can be solved. It is possible to run ten miles in one hour. If you adopt the mode of changing people and horses without changing cars along the way, you can pull up the brakes at once. Twenty to thirty thousand kilograms of goods can be transported from Niuzhuang to Liaoyang in one day and one night.
However, this track must be transported entirely by horse-drawn carriages. Feng Ziying had proposed it before when he was in Yongping Mansion. However, the conditions were not mature at that time. Only the use of cement to pave some sections of the road had caused great uneasiness among the businessmen. , I think this is too extravagant.
Now it is even more straightforward to build a railway track from Liaoyang to Niuzhuang Wharf. This is crazy, but it makes countless people's hearts beat.
Such a shocking thing can probably only be thought of in Xiao Feng Xiuzan's mind, right?
Whether it is Shanshan or Jiangnan businessmen, no one questions the possibility of this kind of thing, because Feng Ziying's various fantastic ideas over the years have already conquered these businessmen and made them full of confidence in Feng Ziying.
The output of the Gyeonggi Coal, Iron and Military Industrial Complex is still growing, and it continues to be widely popularized and promoted throughout the Northland. It is also continuously exported to the south and overseas through sea transportation. However, the continuous expansion of production capacity has made rail transportation in inland areas It has also become a possibility.
If the output of the Anshan Coal-Iron Complex can really reach the production capacity of the Gyeonggi Coal-Iron Military-Industrial Complex, then Liaodong will definitely not be able to digest so much iron material, and can only export a large amount of it.
But Liaodong is isolated in a corner. If it wants to be exported, it can only be shipped out by ship. Whether it is North Korea, Japan, or even Shandong or Jiangnan, shipping can only be used to minimize transportation costs.
But Anshan is quite far away from Niuzhuang and Jinzhou, and the iron materials are heavy. If, as Feng Ziying said, we could just use iron materials to build a railway track directly from the raw material production area to Niuzhuang Wharf, that would be simply It’s just the most cost-effective.
And the key is that Governor Xiao Feng has made it clear that he will vigorously develop Liaodong, and a large number of residents will be relocated from Niuzhuang to Liaoyang, which means that everything along this railway line will become a development center area.
With the convenient transportation of this railway, various materials from Jiangnan, Shandong and even Gyeonggi can continuously land at Niuzhuang Wharf and be easily transported to Liaoyang.
The cost of railway tracks is what worries businessmen the most, but if it can be ensured that the output of the Anshan coal-iron complex can be as high as the current Gyeonggi coal-iron military-industrial complex, it will be a big deal to build a few more blast furnaces. As long as it solves the problem of moving from land to For port transportation problems, the rewards will be extremely generous.
Therefore, Feng Ziying planned a comprehensive development plan for the businessmen. With the support of the imperial court, he would completely recover Liaodong, solve the Jurchen Jurchens in Jianzhou, and relocate the people to build Liaodong into a province with a population of more than three million. To solve the infrastructure construction problem in Liaodong, it is to follow what was done in Yongping Prefecture and establish a coal, iron and building materials complex. This is what businessmen are most interested in.
These two are also complementary to each other. Population growth requires good infrastructure, and infrastructure requires sufficient population to build, so early support from the court and early investment from businessmen are necessary, so that such a virtuous cycle can be achieved.
The enthusiasm of the businessmen was very high, especially after Feng Ziying gave a clear guarantee. Even Feng Ziying said that he could raise funds in various ways such as issuing bonds in the name of the Governor's Palace, which also increased the confidence of the businessmen.
In their view, Governor Xiao Feng’s credibility is worth their bet.
Preliminary preparations have been started. It turns out that Niuzhuang has been determined to be the most important port in Liaodong in the future, so the construction of the wharf has already started. However, from Niuzhuang to Liaoyang, it turns out that most of them are traced up to Dongdong via Sancha River water transport. Changbao area, and then take the land route to Liaoyang. If a railway is to be built now, it will be directly from the mouth of Niuzhuang Sancha River to Liaoyang.
As for the section of the road from Sanchahe Mouth to Liaoyang City via Haizhouwei, Haizhouwei to Liaoyang is the Eight Hundred Post Road, which extends to Fuzhouwei and Jinzhouwei, while the section from Sanchahekou to Haizhouwei is a convenient road. The road conditions It's not good, but fortunately the paving preparations were started in the early stage, so it can barely be used.
But Feng Ziying had already made a decision, and the road construction would start from the section from Sanchahekou to Haizhouwei. He even ordered a considerable amount of cement directly from Wang Xifeng and transported it to Niuzhuang at Sanchahekou first.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Xifeng's cement workshop still needs to supply goods to the south to maintain business, this amount alone could eat up all of Wang Xifeng's production capacity.
This can be considered a balance between public and private matters, but everything operates in accordance with market rules.
"Everything is almost ready according to your requirements. The first shipment of cement has been shipped to Niuzhuang, and it is the Xue family fleet."
Knowing that Feng Ziying would leave Beijing by land and would not pass through Tianjin Wei, and thinking that this farewell might not be seen for a year or even two or three years, Wang Xifeng became lovesick and quietly came to the capital city with Huzi.
Except for Ping'er, no one else in the whole family knows about it.
Wang Xifeng's name has now become a "taboo" in Feng Mansion. Everyone knows that she has an unclear relationship with her husband, and they are all related to Wang Xifeng and are still very close, but now they have become Because of this kind of relationship, it is inevitable for both of them to feel awkward and weird, even more embarrassed than Bushiyamala.
It was the same on both sides. Feng Ziying thought that this situation might happen to Li Wan and Yuan Chun again. She seemed to have decided that as long as she was not embarrassed, it didn't matter how embarrassed others were.
Holding Huzi in her arms and letting the child sit on her lap, Feng Ziying sighed, "Why bother making this trip?"
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at Feng Ziying, "I'm just being sentimental, okay? I miss you, and Hu Zi misses his father. Is it still wrong? Is there anyone in the world who is as heartless as you?"
Feng Ziying smiled bitterly and rubbed her cheek, "Don't I think it's too hard for you to run back and forth now and go back tomorrow?"
"I'm willing to meet you, no matter how hard it is. I can't afford not to see my father for several more years. Maybe when you come back from Liaodong, the child won't even know you." Wang Xifeng said angrily: "Bu Xiya Mara dares to come openly, but I can only act secretly like a thief, what else do you want from me?"
"Okay, I was wrong. If you come, I won't get what I asked for." Feng Ziying could only admit defeat and beg for mercy.
"Well, you will stay with me tonight and you are not allowed to go back." Wang Xifeng's eyes were already full of love, and her eyes were as charming as silk. "It's been a long time since you left. What should I do?"
"It's not a big deal. If you really miss me, come to Liaodong by boat. It's just a bumpy ride. It's estimated that it will only take a year or two for the railway track from Niuzhuang to Liaoyang to be laid. By then, not only will the horses When pulling freight trains, it will be very convenient to pull thirty or fifty people at once." Feng Ziying didn't think this was a problem.
"That will happen in the future. I can't just follow you when you go." Wang Xifeng disagreed, "That's why I came here to meet you and feel at ease."
It's pointless to argue about this after you're here. Feng Ziying simply pulled Wang Xifeng over and held her next to him: "Okay, I'm still eager for you to come. I haven't been intimate for a long time. I'm thinking. …”
Wang Xifeng only felt that her whole body was hot and her breathing was quickened. However, the tiger was still there and she had to hold it. "Okay, the child is still here. You are smart enough to call Ping'er and ask Ping'er to hold the tiger." Take it with you,..."
Feng Ziying shouted, and Ping'er came in with a pursed smile, and picked up Huzi. Huzi and his aunt liked this aunt very much, so they followed happily, and there were only two people left in the room.
Feng Ziying and Wang Xifeng were already familiar with each other, so Feng Ziying and Wang Xifeng naturally didn't have much coyness. Three times, five divided by two, Feng Ziying, with Wang Xifeng's own cooperation, peeled her into a naked white sheep, threw her on the hot bed, and rode up with a roar. , indulge yourself as much as you want.
The wild moans almost came out through the wall. Ping'er coaxed Huzi to sleep and came over, and he could still vaguely hear the noise in the house.
Fortunately, Ping'er is no longer an inhumane woman back then. Having been married to Feng Ziying for a long time, she naturally understands that this is the moment of love between a man and a woman.
It’s not easy for the second grandma now. She may not be able to see my father for several months. Although the busy business can relieve her inner longing, the second mistress, who is in the age of the tiger and wolf, has been alone for so long and now my husband is going to Liaodong again. , I eagerly rushed over to see him, just to talk about lovesickness.
What about yourself?
The last time we went back to Jiangnan, both Yuanyang and Jin Chuan'er left, leaving me to stay in the capital. As a result, Yuanyang got pregnant and stayed in Jinling. This time it was my turn to accompany him to Liaodong.
Thinking of this, Ping'er's face felt a little hot. Yuanyang's pregnancy made many people in the house envious.
This is the first maid in the house to be pregnant, which also means that Yuanyang will have the confidence to take on concubines in the future.
Ping'er didn't care much about taking a concubine, but as a woman, of course she longed to have a child as soon as possible.
She is not young anymore. It is a good time to have children. She will have more opportunities to go to Liaodong, especially since the grandmothers may not be able to go because their children are too young. This is a rare opportunity.
The mansion is still debating who will go, but except for a few people from the third room who are definitely going, that is, the eldest roommate Li Min and Li Qi are going, there is no one in the second room. However, I heard that Qingwen and Ying'er may also go to Liaodong. , it seems that they are all moved.
