Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1790, the planning of various places in Ming Dynasty
The capital, Liu Jin's mansion.

It was another weekend, and I finally didn't have to go to work. In addition, it was already winter and it was freezing. Liu Jin really didn't want to get up, so he just fell asleep on the bed hugging left and right.

"Sanggong, it's time to get up, the sun is already high, if you don't get up again, you will be laughed at."

Xu Wan'er snuggled into Liu Jin's arms, feeling Liu Yuan's dishonest hands twitching again, her whole face turned red.

Last night, the three of them played mahjong again, and it was crazy all night. Thinking about it, people couldn't help but bury their heads deeply in Liu Jin's arms.

"It's an old couple, why be shy."

Liu Jin moved his hands dishonestly, but his face kept smiling. Looking at the other side, Li Zhen herself was already moving dishonestly, but she was more active and relaxed.

"Don't~"

Xu Wan'er resisted in a low voice.

But her words seemed to make Liu Jin furious immediately like poison. He turned over, raised his gun and mounted his horse, and it was another battle.

It wasn't until noon that Liu Jin reluctantly got up and read the newspaper while eating.

"With one heart and one mind, the Foolish Old Man will move the mountains, and the road to Shu will no longer be difficult!"

The headline of the newspaper reported the most popular thing about the construction of the railway to Sichuan. After reading it carefully, it reported in detail the Changcheng Railway that was under construction.

Tens of thousands of young and strong laborers in Sichuan do not need a penny or a ration of food. Under the leadership of Sichuan officials and gentry, they bring their own food and tools to participate in the construction of the Changcheng Railway. It's winter, and there's still no sign of backing down.

And the 800 million Sichuanese behind them did not let them sweat in vain. A steady stream of food, meat, warm clothes, etc. were continuously sent to the forefront of the railway repair, which made the progress of the construction period very fast.

It was originally estimated that it may take six years to complete the construction of this railway, but now, with the full support of 800 million people in Sichuan, it may only take about three years to complete the construction of the Great Wall Railway. Thirty years later, the Changcheng Railway will be officially completed and opened to traffic.

And originally it was only planned to build a railway, and there was no road plan, but because Sichuan spontaneously raised 1200 million taels of silver, and continued to raise funds in the future.

So this time not only the railway was built, but also a road that was not too wide was built beside the railway.

At that time, the railway and highway will be opened together, and the road out of Sichuan will undergo a huge change. From then on, the Shu Road will no longer be difficult.

"Sichuan people need such a railway too much, and they are too eager to have a convenient road out of Sichuan."

After reading the newspaper, Liu Jin couldn't help sighing.

With such a spirit of unity, there is nothing that cannot be done. Let alone building a railway, it is not a big deal to build a few more. Man can conquer the sky, and the spirit of self-improvement is the most important thing.

Officials like Sun Pan and Qiu Ye only see difficulties and think it is impossible to build a railway to Sichuan, but they don't see the great power of people, especially now that all kinds of engineering equipment are constantly emerging out, which greatly improves the engineering efficiency.

At the same time, engineering technology is also constantly maturing. Many things that were impossible before have become possible now, and they are gradually getting used to it.

"With the completion of the Sichuan Railway, the development of the Southwest will be stable, and Sichuan has a population of several million. At that time, at least two or three hundred people can be drawn out."

"In the future, if the technology develops further, it may be possible to build a railway from Sichuan to Yunnan and Guizhou, and then build a railway from Yunnan to Myanmar."

"If you communicate with Myanmar, it will be very convenient and convenient to travel to the Indian Ocean and Africa."

"However, the Hengduan Mountains are more dangerous than the natural dangers of the Sichuan Road. Even in later generations, I'm afraid they would not dare to build such a railway. As for now, just think about it."

Opening the map, Liu Jin carefully looked at the map of the southwestern area of ​​Ming Dynasty.

Sichuan's geographical location is very good, with mountains on all sides and the open and fertile Sichuan Basin in the middle. If it can develop here, it can become the center of the southwestern region of the Ming Dynasty.

If Sichuan is stable, the Southwest will be stable, and if Sichuan develops, the Southwest will develop.

Transportation in this era is still extremely backward.

Regardless of the Beijing-Tianjin area, there are already many roads and railways, and cars, bicycles, and trains run everywhere.

But this is only limited to the Beijing-Tianjin area, where the traffic conditions are good. For the southwest region, their traffic conditions are no different from before.

It’s not just the southwestern region. It should be said that many places in Ming Dynasty have not changed much from before. The construction of roads is only popular in areas with good conditions. The construction of roads in plain areas, along the river, and in coastal areas The more, the better the conditions.

However, in the southwestern region, such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing, the road traffic conditions are extremely poor, and there are few cement roads. Even if there are, they are limited to the provincial capital cities and the surrounding areas.

The traffic conditions in most areas are still very poor, and it is still the original appearance. The sky is the sky, that is, there are more horses, because the price of horses in Daming is getting cheaper and cheaper, and horses have become an important means of transportation.

Because of poor traffic conditions and backward development, these places still maintain their original state, and they can't say that they go out to work like later generations.

Few people are willing to immigrate. After all, it is difficult to leave their homeland, and no one knows how they will live after immigrating.

The development of these places is difficult, very difficult.

However, if Sichuan can develop and Chengdu can become a big city like the Beijing-Tianjin area and become an industrial city, it will not only drive the development of Sichuan, but also attract people from the Yunnan-Guizhou-Chongqing area to work, live and live in Chengdu, which is closer. Settlement has driven the development of the entire southwest region.

The railway to Sichuan must be built, not only for Sichuan, but for the entire southwestern region of Ming Dynasty.

Development should be balanced!
Only when all areas of the entire Ming Dynasty continue to develop, can the entire Ming Dynasty become richer, stronger, and more prosperous.

If it is only the development and prosperity of some areas, then over time, a huge regional gap will gradually form, and then many problems will gradually evolve.

Looking at later generations, due to the uneven development, the population is too concentrated in the eastern coastal areas and cities, which has led to the emergence of many problems and phenomena.

Now the railway is being built to develop Sichuan, and the Yangtze River is being dredged to drive the development of Huguang and Jiangxi. It can be said that the entire mainland of the Ming Dynasty is gradually catching up with the dividends of the development of the times, and developing rapidly and in a balanced manner.

"Sichuan drives the southwest, Huguang and Jiangxi drive the central part, Beijing and Tianjin drive Shandong, Henan, Liaodong, and grasslands, Shaanxi relies on transportation, that is, it goes south, and Guangdong and Guangxi are developing well now, relying on the convenience of ocean transportation. It will be a matter of time before it develops.”

"I don't need to worry much about the future development of my local Ming Dynasty. It is mainly based on industry. Then Liaodong, Hezhong, Western Regions, Central Asia, Nanyun, Black Earth Province, and Nanyang provinces will focus on agriculture, producing food, meat, Vegetables, fruits, etc."

"The overseas Golden Continent and Australia are too far away from the mainland and have a small population. In the future, they will mainly take over the surplus and overflowing population from the mainland."

"The entire Ming Dynasty needs resources, land, land, population, technology, industry, and industry. This kind of Ming Empire is the truly invincible Ming Empire."

Looking at the incomparably vast territory of the Ming Empire, Liu Jin is also very pleased, and it is not in vain for him to travel through it.

It is nothing to be able to build a huge territory. Since ancient times, there have been many empires with vast territories, but they can truly stand firm, and have long-term governance and development. This is called skill.

Like the Mongols, they laid down a vast territory, but the Mongols did not know how to govern, and the vast territory fell apart in a blink of an eye, and they did not have a deep cultural heritage, so these Mongolians who migrated out naturally integrated into the local In culture, it is hard to say who conquered who in the end.

The Ming Empire is different now. It not only occupies a huge territory, but also immigrates in large numbers, consolidates these places, develops them, promotes its own strong culture and civilization, and promotes the integration and development of tribes.

The vast land is not only occupied now, but also can be occupied in the future, and the belt can continue to prosper under the governance of the Ming people.

"Master~"

"Ren Siheng, the dean of the Beijing Institute of Mechanical Engineering, and Duan Haiqiu, the director of the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory, said that they had developed a motorcycle that combines a bicycle with an internal combustion engine."

Just as Liu Jin was thinking about the future development of Ming Dynasty with a smile on his face, the housekeeper of the mansion came to report.

"Have motorcycles been invented?"

As soon as Liu Jin heard this, he immediately regained his energy. He was thinking that Daming's traffic is poor. If this motorcycle is produced, it will be of great use.
