It has been a month since Fang Nan moved to Wuchang City. As the founding of the People's Republic of China approaches, Fang Nan is so busy that there is not much rest time. It is expected that this busy state will last for at least half a year after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Only when the country gets on track will the things in Fang Nan be reduced.

Fang Nan is mainly busy because Fang Nan is capable of doing more than his ministers. Fang Nan needs to come in person to take the most correct path. If the ministers have higher abilities, Fang Nan can instead let the ministers do more things and relax themselves.

One of the things that Fang Nan has been busy recently is to formulate a road construction plan.

"If you want to be rich, build roads first."

This is a sentence that impressed in Fang Nan's mind, and even if he lives in the second life, he will never forget it.

This was the case in the previous life, and this life is the same. Since the People's Army raised its flag to occupy the territory, it has demoted so many evil people to coolies and driven them to build roads. Now all cities in Guangdong Province have been connected by cement roads, and railway tracks are also built between important cities.

There are also more and more cement roads in Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces. As the People's Army occupied the entire land of China, all provinces are building cement roads and preparing to connect all cities with cement roads. According to actual experience, cement roads are indeed convenient for commercial trade in various places.

Of course, the more important role of cement roads is to deepen the People's Army's control over various places. Through cement roads, as long as there are enough carriages, the People's Army can quickly send one unit from one place to another. As the distance of railway tracks increases, the People's Army will mobilize troops faster.

Road construction is very important to the People's Army and also to the forthcoming Xia Kingdom, so Fangnan must formulate a huge road construction plan.

In fact, in the past year, Li Fangnan had formulated many road construction plans. In one province and five provinces, they had their own road construction plans. After occupying the entire land of China, there was also a rough road construction plan. Now it is just a detailed road construction plan.

The entire road construction plan is divided into rail roads and cement roads.

The construction of railway tracks is planned to be one phase in ten years, divided into three phases, totaling thirty years.

The first phase of the railway track construction plan is to connect the capital Wuchang City with four accompanying capitals Guangzhou City, Beiping City, Rongcheng and Shencheng by rail. From the national map, it is centered on Wuchang City, with a railway track from south to north and a railway track from east to west. If it is close to a provincial capital or city, it can also be included as much as possible in these important cities.

The second phase of the railway track construction plan is to connect all provincial cities with railway tracks.

The third phase of the railway track construction plan is to connect as many cities as possible in China.

There are many problems in the construction plan of a huge railway track road that lasts 30 years. The railway track roads also need to cross the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and even tunnels need to be dug. However, the current bridge construction technology of the People's Army is not enough to build a bridge across the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to dig tunnels for more responsible terrain.

There are problems. If you encounter any problems, you can only skip them temporarily and complete other sections first.

In four or five years, the People's Army has mastered some bridge construction and tunnel excavation techniques when building railway tracks. Cement and steel are effective guarantees for the People's Army to master these technologies.

In Guangdong Province, more than ten steel bridges have been built on rivers, allowing railway tracks to cross the blocking rivers.

Fang Nan could not give much help in this. The architects slowly explored during the road construction process, allowing the People's Army's bridge construction and tunnel excavation technology to continuously improve.

In fact, the 30-year plan for railway construction is the time for the improvement of bridge construction technology and tunnel excavation technology. If the technical level is sufficient, the People's Army will use 100,000 coolies to build railway tracks, and it may be able to complete all plans within 25 years, and it will not be too rush.

In order to produce enough railway tracks, Fang Nan has approved the establishment of two more large steel plants. The Qiongzhou Steel Plant alone can no longer meet the next major construction of Xiaguo.

In addition, the steam locomotive project team has made considerable progress in research on trains and has begun to build prototypes. Perhaps within three years, trains that can be put into practical use will appear on the railway tracks.

Even if there is no train, it is much easier to run on railroads through special carriages than on cement roads.

The construction cost of rail roads of the same length is much higher than that of cement roads. The construction plan of rail roads is so huge that the construction plan of cement roads will not be small.

The entire cement road construction plan is also thirty years long. The railway road construction plan is divided into three phases, while the cement road construction plan is divided into five phases, each with six years.

The first three phases of the cement road construction plan are similar to the third phase of the railway road construction plan. The first phase connects the capital Wuchang City with the four accompanying capitals Guangzhou City, Beiping City, Rongcheng and Shencheng, and the provincial capitals, city cities and county towns along the way. The second phase connects all provincial capitals, and the third phase connects all cities.

In the fourth phase, cement roads will be built from the city to connect all towns and towns. In the fifth phase, it will be "all villages and villages", and cement roads will be used to connect all rural areas.

The 30-year plan for cement road construction has been built until every village is open, which is not too rush. It is mainly because the People's Army has a large number of coolies to use. These coolies only need to be responsible for food, drink, defecation, urination, and sleep, and do not even have to pay wages. They can work from morning to night. Even if the coolies are exhausted, there is no one to be much.

But treating coolies as much as possible should be "better" to prevent them from violent or violent. Coolie is a very good labor force. It is hard-working and can save a lot of trouble from the People's Army.

With the People's Army's unified land of China, the source of coolies within China's land has suddenly decreased. In addition to the bandits, bandits and robbers that have not been wiped out, only those who violate the laws of the People's Army are left. If you want more coolies in the future, you can only increase your acquisition from the outside world.

At present, the Tatars on the prairie are a very good source. The Lancer Division went to the prairie three times, adding more than a thousand coolies to the People's Army, accounting for one hundred percent of the total coolies owned by the People's Army.

In the future, as more lances are formed and continually conquering the grasslands, more Tatars will be captured and become coolies, building roads and water conservancy facilities.

Depending on the situation, if the Xia Kingdom has a large fiscal revenue, it will also take out some funds to hire farmers to participate in the construction of roads. It is not like treating farmers. There are clear restrictions on working hours for migrant workers and they will also pay full wages. If migrant workers join, the road construction plan can be accelerated.
