Datang: God-level Choice

And what Tang Jian said is right, the train is only a supplement to the Datang transportation network, and it is impossible to replace all other modes of transportation.

The best way is to take railways and waterways as the main, supplemented by roads, and carry out overall consideration and design.

In particular, the waterways, including the Sui Canal, must be re-widened and deepened, and auxiliary roads built to meet the ever-growing logistics needs of Datang.

Then there is the old problem, the ideal is very good, but it is too short of money

An astronomical figure of hundreds of millions, even today's Datang Household Department is simply too much to bear.

However, this huge prospect is here, and if the construction cannot be started, everyone will be very unwilling.

"Are you dumbfounded by the shock of the train? The Great Tang God of Wealth is right in front of you. Why don't you ask for advice? What are you in a hurry to do here?"

Li Er forced Wang to be authentic

In fact, he only remembered when he saw Qin Huaidao smiling at the side.

The important officials quickly focused their attention on Qin Huaidao.

However, Qin Huaidao's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

That's a simple word that doesn't work

Wait! Li Er and the important ministers are stunned

What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the world to drop pie, or to make money with 100 square meters? Only the wives and concubines who know Qin Huaidao best can roughly guess what Qin Huaidao is thinking.

This husband of yours is really going to whet your appetite.

However, Li Lizhi and others were also spoiled by Qin Huaidao, and they sold off one by one, leaving Li Er and others with their hearts.

On the other hand, the businessmen are completely impatient

"No, this train is so advanced, I can't wait for the freight train to appear."

"Look, in less than half an hour, the second train has already arrived at the station. Everyone knows what it means."

"I just went to consult, and this is because it is only a single line at present. If it can be divided into two lines, it can reach a train every quarter of an hour."

"It's just that the court seems to be short of money at the moment and can't afford to build the railway."

"Damn, what are you waiting for? Let's all appeal to His Royal Highness King Qin to set up a train joint-stock company. I'll be the first to become a shareholder!"

"Yeah, as expected of Lao Zhang, he actually came up with this idea. The last time the stock of Tianzhu Trading Co., Ltd. has increased by four or five times. I don't think this train company will be bad."

"It's settled, let's go to the newspaper together, buy the front page headlines, and call for demands!"

"Okay, let's go together!"

Chapter [-]: The whole Tang Dynasty is asking for the railway

(Second update! Ask for full order!)

The next day, the front page of the newspaper, as expected, published the appeal of the merchants

"In order to promote the commercial development of Datang, I implore His Royal Highness King Qin to consider whether to speed up the need for a dedicated freight line."

The following also uses detailed data to compare the rapid growth of Datang's trade volume in recent years

In fact, compared with the previous dirt road, after the cement straight road was opened to traffic, coupled with the popularity of four-wheeled rubber-wheeled carriages, the road carrying capacity from Chang'an City to Luoyang City has increased by at least twenty times20

Twenty times the figure of 20 is already a great leap. The cement straight road has always been praised by businessmen as a booster for the development of Datang’s business. react

However, the demand for trade volume has soared by more than fifty times! After all, Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, where the rich and powerful gather. Any large enterprise will inevitably use Chang'an City as the main battlefield. Therefore, Luoyang to Chang'an Even though most of the city's concrete straights have been widened enough to run eight 8-horse carriages, they still cannot meet the requirements.

Because there are many mountains along the way, many areas are forcibly reclaimed with explosives, and the traffic volume of the road is actually the same as the barrel principle. As long as there is only one pass with two lanes, the maximum traffic capacity must be calculated according to the short board.

Therefore, in these narrow places, traffic jams have become commonplace, and caravans must bring more dry food when traveling, otherwise people who are stuck in the wilderness will not be able to eat even a mouthful of food.

And now the emergence of trains has given businessmen great hope.

A train can carry [-] people. Even if one person is calculated at [-] jin, it is [-] jin.

In terms of speed, the gap is ten times or even dozens of times.

The most important thing is that the carriage will be tired, but the train is mechanically operated by a steam engine, so it will not be tired at all, and it is a dedicated road, and a train can be issued every once in a while, which can completely increase the carrying capacity of Chang'an and Luoyang by hundreds of times.

Therefore, after reading the newspaper, even businessmen outside Chang'an and Luoyang who had not experienced the train, followed suit.

Chambers of commerce all over the country have come to the government for proposals, and the officials are also happy to make more achievements, and naturally they will not be stingy to write more about the application for the construction of the railway in the local area.

In the past, the benefits of just eating the cement straight road have already made a lot of money in various places. Now there are more advanced railways than the cement straight road. This kind of thing that you can get results by lying down, who would be foolish to miss it! To get rich, first Building roads has long been a recognized fact in the entire Tang Dynasty.

The snowflake-like memorial, flew into Chang'an City again, and sent it to Li Er's imperial study.

"My son-in-law, the heat should be poor."

Li Er silently pointed to the memorial that was taller than the hill in front of him

The important ministers sitting in the audience also nodded in agreement. They have already screened this. Among the three provinces and six departments, those with many memorials can fill a small room.

"In that case, you are not against building railways."

Qin Huaidao said with a smile

The construction of railways involves the use of large sums of money and involves the national economy and people's livelihood. It must be done with one heart and one mind.

Qin Huaidao is actually the driving force behind all these rallies.
