Chapter 1385 Railway

The so-called large industry squeezes out the handicraft industry, which is the characteristic of China's unique semi-feudal and semi-colonial involution society, and the reasons for its formation are not only caused by the rise of large industry, but also have many complex causes.

For example, a series of comprehensive factors such as low labor costs, dumped closed markets, weak demand for products, and brutal plundering by foreign forces.

In the West, the rulers lack the ruling concept of "benevolence", and the idea that those who have no money to see a doctor will die after they die, and there will be no shortage of markets until a thousand years later.

The current Great Song Dynasty does not have these problems, just look at the small surrounding countries are addicted to stealing copper coins from the Great Song Dynasty, and you should know that it is completely different from the situation of the late Qing Dynasty that even used the currency of Mexico.

As for the glass sales going to the Western Regions, will it impact the glass industry of the Black Khan Tianfang, Su You can't even the heart of the Great Song Dynasty now, will he care about that?

There is a big background to the impact of big industry on handicraft industry in China's history, that is, foreign countries use their technology to form a plundering of China's wealth.

Put it in the Great Song Dynasty, this is called rotten meat in the pot, which is the same nature as the vigorous development of various industries after the reform and opening up of New China.

Moreover, Su You pays great attention to this aspect, and develops coal and iron, chemicals, precious metals, wool, cotton cloth, meat, and large livestock; And what consumes these is the infrastructure, the military, the rich interior of the Great Song Dynasty, and exports to the surrounding areas.

Including currency exports.

Su You is now only in charge of the overall situation, and what he is now focusing on is the coordination between the military and the government, the relations between the government and the people, the clean government, and education.

It is necessary to educate not only the people, but also the officials.

To this end, Su You held a crash course for government officials, in addition to the elected officials sent by the imperial court, there are also local officials who are now in office.

Anyway, the imperial court did not collect two taxes in the three roads now, and the new Western Xia also demanded "rule by inaction" a few years ago, and local officials had time to take turns to come to Xingzhou for training.

At present, the main affairs of local governments are justice, administration, taxation, education, etiquette, and anti-theft.

However, this was obviously too rough, and it was not until later that it was gradually perfected and the functions were clear, and there were relevant professional books.

For example, the Song Dynasty's "Record of Clearing Grievances", the Qing Dynasty's "Baojian Record of Clearing Grievances", "Fingers of Criminal Money", "Fuhui Quanshu", etc., are all books related to criminal investigation, forensic medicine, and hearing lawsuits.

For example, books on taxation such as "The Great Essentials of the Money Valley".

When the Qing Dynasty's feudal officials were appointed as the envoys of Yunnan, they ordered someone to compile a "Officialdom Must Read", which classified and compiled various official documents, and gave them to his subordinates to assist him;

Wang Longzhuang once served as the master of 14 officials, and he himself was a magistrate, and he had extremely rich experience in officialdom, and wrote a book of "Learning to Govern Speculation", which is known as a textbook for magistrates.

And Su You's experience in governance is also very rich, he has held a training course in Jiaozhi before, and has also published a textbook to guide officials below the state level to manage government affairs, called "The Times".

This is an encyclopedia of officialdom, including the implementation of laws and regulations, major events in states and counties, the responsibilities of each Cao, the pursuit limit, how to appease the people, listen to the people's feelings, how to supervise subordinates, and even the format of official documents, the corresponding Shangfeng Yamen of each matter, how to present, etc., is a "Guide to Being an Official".

In addition to management, the book also focuses on how to cultivate local people's customs and education, how to develop farmland and water conservancy, how to develop industry and commerce according to local conditions, and even points out the importance of emerging industries to local development.

For example, the "five small industries" model.

That is, how small steel, small coal mines, small machinery, small cement, small chemicals, and the landing of these industries promote local prosperity.

This book caused a strange phenomenon in the Great Song Dynasty, but although Zhentang was reprinted in one edition, it was not seen in the officialdom.

The officials are all teaching and receiving in private, and they don't want to do it in their mouths, but they are so fragrant in their hearts.

Sneaking through the bed at night, but you can't see any of the officials' studies.

This is also the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty, you look at this, put this, you are a hot official position, you just want to seek to increase the official rank, that is, ...... Not humble and indifferent, not only the wind and the moon, not so ...... Gentleman.

However, Su You didn't care, and many things were secretly circulated, and the effect was better than public publication.

It's an experience he's gained in later life, well, like......

For example, "Zi Bu Si". If you want to deviate, leave a message for review and accept criticism.

But this style is not needed in places like Jiaozhi and Ningxia for the time being, because the ideas of people in these places are not so complicated to such a false level.

The officials of the Xia people are very bad, not to mention the Xia State, the Liao State is all, and even the weapons and iron smelting involved in the national economy are all tribal contract responsibility systems.

That's why Chaogu took advantage of a big loophole.

Language is not a problem for high-ranking officials above the three-way road level, but the following county orders and governors are a little troublesome.

Su You shamelessly recommended a popular model to these people - Master Meishan.

The origin of the master comes from the official of the king of Zhou - "curtain man".

"Zhou Li, Tianguan Tomb Zai No. 1": "The curtain man is in charge of the curtain, the curtain, the curtain, the curtain, the curtain, and the ribbon. All pilgrimages, rendezvous, military service, field service, and sacrifices are made with their curtains, curtains, hooves, curtains, and ribbons. ”

They are able to advise the master and participate in confidential matters; Drafting manuscripts and writing on behalf of others; Handling case files and approving adjudication; He was ordered to send an envoy to liaise with officialdom.

In fact, he is the position of "acting state official and county commander", so he is deeply relied on by officials.

And because of his special status, the officials and servants in the palace regarded him as a friend of the master.

Among them, the criminal name and the second seat of Qian Gu are the heaviest, and they are called "masters".

The officials called him "Shogunyou", and the master called the official "Dong Weng".

For example, Chao Buzhi, Qin Guan, and Su Yuanzhen were all Su You's "friends" when he was in Hangzhou, and the people around Su You came and went, and there was a "master" who had not changed, and that person was Zhang Qi.

In fact, this system is not good, but it is relative to modern times, and in today's outrageous administrative management of the former Xia Kingdom, it can be called a great progress across the era.

No, the Song Dynasty crossed over to the Qing Dynasty...... For 800 years...... But then again, whether the system has progressed or regressed in those 800 years is another matter.

In addition to the training of officials, there is also education.

Su You has set up primary schools in all states, but the good government of compulsory education, which is against the sky, has not yet dared to implement it.

It can only be stipulated that, except for children with good conditions, parents will get a lot of preferential treatment in terms of recruitment and employment for children who enter the school.

In the factory, there are also literacy classes, and there are corresponding incentive policies such as promotion and salary.

In terms of administrative management, Su You has basically been properly assigned, and there are judges who have never forgotten Chao to make up for it; There is Su Yuanzhen, a Ningxia road transfer envoy who is familiar with Fanyi, business, and Buddhism; and Bi Zhongyou, the secretary of the shogunate who is more powerful than Cai Jing, plus the strategy masters Zhu Zhu and Zhang Qi...... Now he's a panacea himself.

Now is the spring sowing season, the focus is on farming, but also water conservancy projects.

The bumper harvest of Laishan No. 1 and the bumper harvest of rape have increased the harvest of Xingzhou farmers by one-third, and with vegetable oil, the enthusiasm for replacing millet with wheat rape for cultivation is higher.

The spring wheat planted in Ningxia Sanlu has now grown for two months, and the entire Xingzhou River Valley Plain is full of green camelina wheat.

The various armies of the imperial court also arrived one after another, and Su You organized it into a construction corps, which was roughly divided into three parts, those who knew how to write as workers, those who did not understand writing, more than thirty-five as farmers, and the rest built roads.

The steam engine has been developed, and the train needs to be put on the agenda.

If it weren't for water transportation, pulling coal by land, the price would be doubled for a hundred miles.

The most difficult place in China is that the local coal-producing areas are on both sides of the Hetao, and the industrially developed areas are now in Shuzhong, Zhengzhou, and Liangzhejiang.

In later generations, modern industry first appeared in Britain, and the main reason was that coal and iron, industry and commerce, and navigation were almost all concentrated in one place, which had unique development conditions.

Fortunately, now that Suyou has taken the South China Sea, the rich resources there can be transported to Liangzhejiang by sea.

But this again raises the problem of uneven development.

The northwest is also blessed, but the problem is that the Central Plains Dynasty has insufficient control over the northwest, and the reserves of technical personnel and population quality are also insufficient.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to open up the connection channel between the Yellow River in the northwest and the Central Plains.

The easiest place is from Lanzhou to Qinzhou, connecting the Yellow River and Weishui.

However, a mile of railway needs 30,000 catties of steel, and 600 miles from Lanzhou to Qinzhou, even if Su You can push the price of a catty of steel to 200 Wen, the cost of the railroad track alone will need 3.6 million yuan.

And that's not counting the countless bridges and culverts!

The world's first railway, built in London in the 19th century, was less than 50 miles long, and the official maturity of the railway was 40 years after the completion of the metropolitan subway.

At that time, the UK's production capacity was already 7 million tons of pig iron, 3 million tons of crude steel, and nearly 200 million tons of coal per year.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty could only build railways in a limited number of places at present.

For example, the most economically developed area - Bianjing to Chenliu;

Great Iron Metallurgical Area - South China Sea Tiezhou to Yezhou Port;

and an important strategic area - Shuzhong to support Shaanxi's simple railway.

Fortunately, there is a place in the northwest that also has such conditions, that is, Yinfeng is fifty miles from Lanzhou.

Build railroads, pull precious metals and guns!

As for the others, it would be nice to be able to fix the asphalt road at the moment.

ps: Push the book, "The Man Behind the Empress"
