Compared to Hao Fenglou's indifferentness, Xia Yuanji was unable to calm down.

He frowned, and then his brows loosened again. He was sure that he was sitting in this giant, and the giant was indeed moving. The violent shaking of the carriage and the sound of the metal rubbing was very loud. The rumbling sound almost broke his eardrums.

But... he didn't care, because as the head of the Ministry of Transfer, he knew very well what this meant.

In this era when transportation is basically on the road, it is easy to carry tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilograms of goods in just a dozen people. It should not be underestimated. Lang Son... It seems that it is really not to be underestimated.

And now, Hao Fenglou stretched out his hand.

He was shaken in his heart. He certainly knew whether he was willing to extend his hand as well. If this were the case, he would inevitably turn from a gentleman to a villain whom he was referring to. Xia Yuanji naturally insisted on his own ideas, but now he was shaken, whether his ideas were right or wrong.

Although Chen Xue was full of loopholes, this theory of loopholes gave birth to such powerful tools, which he would not be underestimated.

He has lived in Lang Son for a while and has already relied on his life here. Xia Yuanji likes this place, but he is not accustomed to certain things. This is his contradiction. Just as now, he knows the magical use of this iron cart and can even directly change the whole world, but he is still somewhat repulsive of Hao Fenglou.

Hao Fenglou's attitude was very humble, not as hateful as before. The iron car had already stopped rumblingly. However, the steam in the sky was still blown into the carriage by the wind. To be honest, the train is too primitive at the moment, but it still set the stage for Xia Yuanji.

At this time, Hao Fenglou had already stood up, faced the hesitant Xia Yuanji bowed and said, "Sir, don't refuse."

Xia Yuanji sighed, but he was moved after all. Because he wanted to know what Lang San would look like when these railway tracks were laid and what Jiaozhi would look like.

"Okay, I might as well give it a try."

Hao Fenglou breathed a sigh of relief, his tone became relaxed, and said, "I don't know what advice sir."

Xia Yuanji said: "The iron car and rail are both cast steel. The most difficult part here is steel. Is there so much steel? "

Hao Fenglou shook his head: "Although the Hao family is rich, there is no such thing as steel? The gentleman joked."

Xia Yuanji frowned: "Since there isn't, I'm afraid it's not easy."

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Sir, this is a bad word. In fact, as long as there is silver, there is steel, and there is silver and demand, more people will go to mine the mountains and make a large number of steel. If 10,000 people are not enough, there will naturally be 100,000 people. If one mine is not enough, someone will detect ten or one hundred mines, not only iron, but coal. These two are the foundations, so the most important thing is not steel, but silver."

Hao Fenglou has a saying that the construction of the railway will inevitably cause a shortage of steel on the market. In the case of shortage, as long as steel can be produced, it will never have to worry about sales. This means that Lang Son's metallurgy industry will enter a crazy state in many years to come.

The large amount of idle funds of those giants will become blast furnaces and huge chimneys. The refugees who flowed in from other provinces of the Ming Dynasty will also become blacksmiths and craftsmen. Many mines will be mined. If the ore is mined, they will be sold out by countless iron shops. The steel trained by the iron shop will be quickly bought by the Railway Bureau. The huge amount of funds of the railway bureau was handed over to the Tiefang. The Tiefang sent part of the silver to the iron ore mine owners. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of workers will receive salary, which will be converted into ready-made clothes and wine, and will flow into theaters, bathhouses, and grocery shops.

At that time, Lang Son and even Jiaozhi will be in a state of human resources for a long time. In the northern part of Lang Son, there will be a large number of idle people. They have no land and no worries and are called refugees. However, on this land guarded by the Hao family, there are a large number of jobs. More importantly, there are enough opportunities to make you turn over. At that time, more people will definitely flock in with their families.

The industry and commerce in Lang Son are afraid that it will be a long way to go.

Xia Yuanji cannot understand these things. Since he doesn't understand them, there is no need to talk about them. When everything comes true, he will naturally understand them.

Xia Yuanji understood what Hao Fenglou said. He stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "Okay, since that's the case, then first, we must set up the shelf, first recruit documents, formulate rules, and then click on the selection and purchase, choose craftsmen, and recruit labor. Of course, there must be some planning in advance. Marquis Rong gave me some time. I must first think about a charter carefully, but now it is from scratch. There is an ugly saying that the Marquis must not ask about all the personnel and affairs in the railway bureau, otherwise, I will ask the Marquis to ask Gao Ming for this matter."

Hao Fenglou was a little suspicious, your mother, I can’t even get the words in my mouth?

However, Hao Fenglou did not really choose the candidate. In fact, there are not many people who have taken over major projects like Xia Yuanji, who are honest and self-confident, and have done practical things. There are a few capable generals in Lang Son's Engineering Bureau, but they are still a little worse.

Hao Fenglou finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, that's the matter."

The two hit it off and Hao Fenglou's heart fell.

Immediately afterwards, Hao Fenglou explained Cheng Zijin that encouragement is naturally essential, but some defects still need to be revealed. The ability of the iron car to move is just the beginning, and the load and comfort are also big problems. Even the structure of some iron car needs to be improved one or two. Cheng Zijin did not mind Hao Fenglou's "egg-picking" in the face of the iron car. In fact, his body and mind were already connected with the iron car. He knew that improving the craftsmanship and structure was not a matter of overnight, and many problems really need to be solved, so he agreed and excitedly directed the people, and the train slowly drove into an open-air shed at the end of the railway for maintenance.

Xia Yuanji Rongsheng was promoted to the general office of the Railway Bureau. In fact, not many people knew about it. Even at the beginning, the sign of the Railway Bureau was posted, but it did not attract much attention. However, when more and more news was released, many people and money from the Hao family were sent to the Railway Bureau, the merchants with sensitive sense of smell smelled a trace of money.

Subsequently, a large number of people began to recruit, and then a group of craftsmen conducted special training. When the news spread, Lang Son immediately fell into a state of madness.

Workshop racks specializing in the manufacturing of railway tracks have been built, and then a lot of steel has been consumed. Any steel that has passed the acceptance will cost as much as possible, and the same is true for labor.

For a moment, when the news spread, the price of steel immediately began to rise.

As the price soared, the various iron fangs could no longer sit still. In the past, a thousand kilograms of steel only made a net profit of more than ten taels of silver. However, now the profit is more than twenty taels, which is a full double. The same ten thousand taels of silver. If you go to other transactions, you can make 1,000 taels of silver in a year, but if you invest in the iron fang, you may be two thousand or even three thousand taels.

More importantly, the railway bureau has offered a relatively high price and charged as much as possible. This means that the iron house only needs to produce, and even no need for brokers. The amount of production can be sold directly, which is almost equivalent to making money while lying down.

This means that any transaction you do has the possibility of losing money, but as long as the railway bureau has the demand for steel, it will never make a profit without losing money.

Recently, the market has been somewhat sluggish because of the increasing number of workshops and the competition among workshops has been quite fierce. Later, after the War of Siam, the market began to rise slightly, but now it has been rising straight. This iron shop has become the most popular thing nowadays. Not only that, because the railway requires a large number of sleepers, the wooden shop is not bad either. Everyone is rushing to avoid missing the opportunity. Major commercial banks are investing in additional capital, and the latest iron craftsmanship has made great progress. Many workshops even specialize in raising a group of skilled craftsmen, which specializes in improving the production efficiency of iron smelting and ensuring the quality of steel.

The factories that sprouted bamboo shoots after the rain naturally require labor to build workshops. Brick workshops have become popular recently, not to mention the wafang, there are also machinery and tool workshops that specialize in iron smelting, which also take the opportunity to make a fortune. The most important thing is labor. The railway bureau is recruiting labor, and countless newly built workshops also require a lot of manpower. The demand for labor in mining and wood is higher. Sometimes, in order to compete for a few labor, some businesses have reached the point of tearing apart. Therefore, a group of meetings specializing in introducing population emerged.

You should know that in such a prosperous place as Lang Son, the three religions and all walks of life gathered, the meeting gates have already appeared, and they have controlled many gambling houses, brothels, and even the wharfs have been monopolized by them. If the Police Force had not had the strong attack on them, they have been much more restrained recently, but now, they have found a bigger way to make money.
