Chapter 1752: Wonderful

Fortunately... in the past year, the court had too many things to do, so that people could not be distracted and worried about other things.

The construction of the railway has also reached a critical moment.

The railway was completed one after another.

Whether it is the court or the local prefectures, the demand for railways has been increasing. After some construction sections are built, they have met the conditions for opening traffic and start to open traffic first. When the train rings, it brings a steady stream of goods, and naturally... it also transports countless local local products in exchange for a steady stream of wealth.

Many big merchants from the capital almost flocked to the crowd.

They followed the railway line and arrived at various prefectures, greedily watching everything here.

Before this, there were undeveloped chu women's land, and there was almost no so-called business here. Here, compared with the capital and Baoding, it was a land price that was as good as a cabbage, and countless labor labor. Even nearby may contain countless resources to be discovered. In most places, the people are still self-sufficient, and the local cloth and local ironware have not yet been affected by the low-priced and better-quality workshop manufacturing products.

The commercial competition in the capital has reached a cruel point, but such a prefecture is like a piece of white paper.

So... countless "adventurers" came here with countless goods and wealth to explore their business territory.

The top ten major commercial banks in the capital, led by Xishan, urgently need more raw materials to produce, new workshops, and a large amount of cheaper labor.

Other merchants began to open up their business in the capital here.

The brokers were everywhere, looking for any possible opportunity to match local government officials and cooperate with merchants from the capital, Baoding and Jiangnan.

It seemed like a carnival.

Overnight, people who found a station at their doorstep appeared and found that the huge iron lumps were coming with rolling blue smoke. After that... they found that their lives had begun to change drastically.

Many places are recruiting workers and building construction begins.

Some merchants even recruited people in advance for short-term training, promising that it was already a considerable wage for locals.

Some people also found in a confused way that their back mountain was a very ordinary lump of soil, as if they had been discovered by someone. Then, a large number of people began to appear, first using gunpowder to open the mountain, then... established a mountain road, and then... pulled countless mines down the mountain.

The mountain people are of course beneficial.

Not only were he pulled out to the mountains, he was given a generous salary.

Sometimes in order to buy them, we have to create some houses and roads in front of the village.

Some clever people began to notice something, and began to get involved in the ranks of these outsiders, learning what they did, and they returned home in glory a year or two after.

They sat in a carriage, and a whispering silk and satin waved across the market, which immediately attracted all kinds of curious and jealous eyes.

Even they can do it, why can't we?

This is probably the voice of many people.

Just like more than a thousand years ago, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted, "Is there any king, prince, general, and minister?"

Others can make money, why not?

People can no longer calm down.

It was as if suddenly, he was in the endless torrent, so... he rushed in without hesitation.

However, this form seems to be a plague and is contagious. At first it was a prefecture city, then the counties, and finally, even remote villages began to suffer from the impact.

The strong men were no longer willing to be poor, so they unswervingly put on their bags and embarked on the road to Beijing, government and county towns.

The women also began to be encouraged and tried to enter the workshop.

On weekdays, they rarely go out, but the salary of textile workshops is too tempting. In addition to the temptation of gold and silver, new students seem to try their best to change people's concepts and encourage women to come out to work.

Fortunately, many measures in the workshop ensured that there would be no idle men in the workshop. Some people began to try it, and then more women began to flock to it.

The woman who was originally a husband and children, when they received their first salary tremblingly, the few small receipts and some copper coins could not help but put them in their bags. She held the bag in her hand, and the calloused hands were sweating.

This is a wonderful feeling.

Suddenly... it seemed as if I had become my master.

It seems that the moment I received my salary, the whole world became different. I felt confident and my back was a little straighter.

After all, there are some old scholars in this prefecture and county town who are trying their best to denounce such phenomena.

They were like a group of mantis blocking a car, wishing they could relieve their dissatisfaction with new things.

But at this time, no one listened to their complaints anymore. It is important to earn money. Others can live a good life, so why can't I?

Other places began to urge the railway to open.

So much so that some local prefectures couldn't wait, so they spontaneously began to recruit laborers and go to the construction site to help.

The court had abolished the corvee service, but the men who had been idling in the farming industry could no longer bear it after hearing many tempting rumors.

They have strength.

In the past, these strengths were not worth a penny.

But if the railway is connected, strength can be exchanged for money.

The railway from Gansu to Yumen Pass... is what the Zhang brothers value the most.

The two tried their best to persuade the railway bureau not to build this railway.

On the one hand...it is difficult to build. After all, it takes a thousand miles of deserts to travel, and the cost of supply is amazing.

On the other hand, such a railway has no benefit at all.

But the Railway Bureau was determined to repair it. The Zhang brothers rushed to Lanzhou overnight, except for beating their chests and slandering for several days and nights.

You need to practice, right?

Since we brothers can't stop us, then... let's stare at it. This money... can save some money.

So... in the desert where no one is around thousands of miles away, the footprints of the Zhang brothers can always be left behind.

They measured the wasteland and gravel on the ground with their feet, looking for any way to save.

They stared at the personnel in every construction section, as if they had ignorant eyes, and could always find traces of some people's greed and waste.

Here... no one dares to smear engineering materials.

No one dares to be greedy for every penny, so that every foreman always feels uncomfortable all over, as if there are two pairs of eyes behind his head, staring at the back of his head at all times, which always makes them feel creepy when they are sweating profusely.

The Zhang brothers kept urging the progress of the project.

They led an exploration team and needed positioning construction in the desert.

This engineering team of tens of thousands of people was tortured by the two brothers.

They were ragged in sweat and blood flowing into the desert, constantly speeding up their progress.

In more than two years... most of the projects... have been completed.

This is almost a miracle in engineering history.

So when the Railway Bureau heard the news, its first reaction was to shake its head.

Engineers and technicians from all over the country rushed to Lanzhou.

Here... new methods to speed up construction progress and reward and punishment systems have begun to teach.

…………

Yumen Pass, this is the westernmost pass in the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, a steam train was slowly coming towards the wind, roaring loudly, and roaring hysterically.

Three days ago, the train departed from Lanzhou, and today... finally began to enter the site staggeringly.

There is almost no people near this station.

Due to the needs of future commercial layout, the Railway Bureau arranged the station dozens of miles away from the old city and was far away from the original business road.

Therefore, it is very quiet here today, with only a few station staff waiting here.

After the train stopped, the first person to get off the train... was Zhang Heling.

Zhang Heling was covered in dust and was wearing simple clothes. She was even covered with patches and a sun-shading hat on her head. She was still pale and thin.

As soon as he got off the car, he looked up at the bright sun, feeling like he was a different life.

A three-day train trip is actually not a good time.

Fortunately... he is used to it.

Behind him... Zhang Yanling also jumped out of the car.

"Brother, do you drink water and eat steamed cakes?" Zhang Yanling took off the package on his body.

Zhang Heling looked at Zhang Yanling in anger, slapped him with his backhand, and scolded angrily: "Eat and eat, you know what we have to eat. What should we eat? Now we have arrived at Yumen Pass, and we have to eat at the station if we want to eat, and wait for them to welcome us."

Zhang Yanling felt that his head was hurt by his brother's beating. He shook his head, and his numb head seemed to have begun to regain some consciousness. Then he grinned: "Miao, it's indescribable, my brother knows everything."
