The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 138

As the son of the most powerful prince in the Northern Territory, Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son, is already half-identified as the eldest son.

His study room is not as luxurious and expensive as outsiders think, but very simple, except for various books and materials, there are only some tables, chairs, and bookshelves.

Walking into this place, people will feel the diligence and knowledge of the little prince.

Socioeconomics is a model.

Zhu Gaochi's face is full of caution, as the situation in the palace is improving and the power is increasing, how to make good use of this advantage.

The coal industry is a top priority.

The coal industry has begun to control the fuel resources throughout Beiping and has become an important force.

The coal boss is not only a person, but also a collection of interests.

There are nobles, officials, military generals, landlords, and even eunuchs of the palace behind them, forming a dense network.

The growth of wealth will inevitably bring these companions.

This power will be attacked by him in the future. To subdue this power and hold it in his hands will not only bring profits to the palace, but also provide greater support for industrial development.

Wide and strict.

Zhu Gaochi decided not to be influenced by the Western theories of later generations, and began to plan to take strict measures.

Capital will not be allowed to override Daming.

……

"What is Boss doing recently? I haven't seen him all day, and I haven't seen him in the guard." Zhu Di came back from the outside.

The princess stepped forward to greet her.

"It's not like you. No one knows what he's busy with."

"We know."

Zhu Gaoxu who was on the side said proudly: "Brother is in the study, and no one has been seen. It has been two days."

"He can use people."

Zhu Di was noncommittal, and looked at the second child who hadn't enlightened yet. At his age, the eldest son had already started to do things.

"Second brother, you often want to learn from your elder brother. Do you know what your elder brother is best at?"

"Big brother will make money."

Zhu Gaoxu replied without hesitation.

Everyone said that the eldest brother turned stone into gold, and he was good at making money.

Zhu Di shook his head.

"Your elder brother knows how to employ people. He knows his strengths and weaknesses, and he knows how to use them according to their talents."

"With so many factories in your hand, your elder brother is never in a hurry, because your elder brother has a lot of talents under his command, and these talents go forward for your elder brother, so your elder brother can stay in the study."

What father doesn't want his son to be successful.

The princess smiled.

Zhu Gaoxu was stumped.

Isn't it the job of the sergeants to charge into the battle? Could it be that the father and the king are talking about the relationship between the elder brother and the military household.

But everyone exaggerates big brother, even the masters in the school field often mention big brother in their words.

Glancing at the second child, Zhu Di secretly shook his head. The qualifications of the second child were much worse than that of the eldest.

Shizifu.

"Is the father in the mansion today?"

"Back to the eldest son, the prince is in the mansion today." The eunuch in charge said respectfully.

Zhu Gaochi confirmed that Zhu Di was in the palace, and left the Shizi Mansion with his own charter.

The palace is too big, and he doesn't want to waste his energy on an empty trip.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhu Gaochi formally submitted an application to Zhu Di, and recruited 3000 workers from Yanshan Sanwei, a total of [-] military household workers, to carry out the first phase of the large railway project.

5000 people are no longer a small force in Beiping, especially those who come from military households, which are already mature military organizations.

"Boss, you are taking a big step. According to your charter, your financial power and military power in Beiping are stronger than ours."

"Is the father worried about his son?"

Zhu Gaochi asked directly.

It's better to speak some words, but he didn't think carefully, so it's not good to hide them.

Zhu Di shook his head.

If there is no such trust in the eldest son, Zhu Di will not open the door for the eldest son. Zhu Di is very pleased with what the eldest son has done and his attitude.

"It's too late." Zhu Di sighed.

"It's just an economic means."

Zhu Gaochi made an understatement.

Seeing that the boss insisted, Zhu Di stopped persuading him.

With permission, Zhu Gaochi immediately recruited skilled craftsmen such as Xiao Jiu.

There is already a section of railway in Peking, which has been in operation for several months, has accumulated a lot of experience, and has also mastered a lot of problems.

"Some railway sections carry less cargo and are less open to traffic, so the railway is not deformed and can be used normally."

"The busy railway section is the most labor-intensive. The railway workers have to inspect it every day, and it takes about two months to beat the crooked rails back."

"According to this phenomenon, new railways, especially railway sections that are expected to be heavily used, build wooden sleepers under the rails to fix the rails."

In Xiao Jiu's notebook, there are also many words densely written.

Railway-I-type sleeper railway-horizontal sleeper railway is a reform of railway development.

Luckily the sleeper railroad also can be eliminated, because it can only play the effect of hard ground, and cannot fix railroad width.

Compared with horizontal sleeper railways, I-shaped sleeper railways not only save several times in materials, but also have faster laying speed and significantly lower construction costs.

Zhu Gaochi took Xiao Jiu's notebook, and directly drew a horizontal sleeper railway on it.

"This design is the most comprehensive, but it is also the most costly. See if you can understand."

Xiao Jiu took the book, and there was no profound theory, ordinary people could understand it, but Xiao Jiu was shocked to see the densely packed sleepers.

According to this method to build, the cost of all aspects will increase exponentially, the most important thing is the construction period.

The simplest railway, sometimes under smooth conditions, with a railway engineering team of 2000 people, can lay six or seven miles a day in one go.

If you follow your own vertical pattern, you can barely reach five miles a day.

But if you follow the construction method provided by the little prince, it would be great to be able to exceed four miles in a day.

From Miyun in the northernmost part of Beiping to Dongming County in the southernmost part, the total length of the road is nearly [-] miles. According to the fastest speed, it will take a full year.

Moreover, the road conditions from Miyun to Dongming County are completely different from the railways built throughout the year, and sometimes it is impossible to reach four miles a day.

Even if the initial scale of the railway engineering team will be 5000 people.

The cost is also unacceptable, and the railway operation is still at a loss.

"It won't work."

Xiao Jiu directly rejected it.

The rest of the craftsmen were stunned, but Master Xiaojiu was really brave.

"How about using the three in combination?" Zhu Gaochi came up with another idea.

When the railways in the whole territory of Beiping Prefecture are completed, earth-shaking changes will take place, and the transportation volume of the railways will increase exponentially.

Continuing to use the simple rails, Zhu Gaochi was worried that it would not work properly.

If the frequent repairs are not mentioned, if the four-wheeled carriage overturns, the loss of reputation and interests will be great.

Xiao Jiu lowered her head and looked carefully at the notebook.

"I think it's good." Another skilled craftsman spoke in a low voice, approving the proposal of the little prince.

He is a craftsman in charge of railway maintenance and has a clearer understanding of railways.

"On the bustling roads, follow the method of the little prince. On the normal roads, follow the method of Master Xiaojiu. On the less used roads, the simplest rails are still built."

"Xiao Jiu, look at it."

Xiao Jiu closed the notebook and agreed to the plan.

In the corner of the room, there are rolled up drawings, and the craftsmen unfold them and hang them on the wall, which is a huge map.

It marked the terrain situation of each place, as well as the construction progress requirements, and the construction plan.

"You have worked hard." Zhu Gaochi praised, and then said: "After you and the railway engineering team make a decision, the main thing is to refer to the opinions of your professionals."
