Regarding Jiang Yi's grand railway plan, Lin Ziran felt fresh at first, but when he heard it, he was not interested, and when he heard it, he asked Jiang Yi what to do.

Anyway, the Daheng Imperial Railway Company has been established, fully operating the railways nationwide, how to build the railway and let them deal with it themselves, whether it is a loan, or the revenue of the railway itself, in short, don't expect the central government to pay.

The empire doesn't have so much money to build railways, it's tens of millions of dollars at every turn, and the empire's finances can't support it.

Even if the imperial treasury pays for it, at most it will give some support and subsidies to transform the existing railway network and unify the standards, at most it will build some new connecting lines, and it will be very good to connect the existing scattered railway network into a piece.

As for the plans for tens of thousands of kilometers or even hundreds of thousands of kilometers of new railways, don't expect the imperial treasury to pay for it.

To build a new railway, the Imperial Railways had to figure it out on their own.

It doesn't matter whether it is engaged in development along the railway line or loans, or even directly issuing corporate bonds, in short, within the scope of the law, the Imperial Railway Company can use whatever way it likes, anyway, Lin Ziran only cares about the target, and he doesn't give money!

But this is not too much for Lin Ziran, in fact, the railways in various places before Daheng were actually built in this way!

Basically, the government-run capital of the feudal town first set up a railway company, and gave a little start-up capital at will, and the majority of the money was to give some official land along the planned railway, and then give some tax exemptions and other policies.

In the war years, there was no one else who dared to be a nail household except for the feudal town itself, maybe there were before, but they were basically destroyed by one shot.

After these policy troubles are resolved, the railway companies will be left to their own tossing, either by developing the railway and then selling the land along the railway, or by taking out loans and other means to raise funds to build the railway.

After the empire successively took over the six southern states and Jingzhou, it took over the railway companies of each state, and on the basis of these railway companies, the Daheng Imperial Railway Company was established.

The Imperial Railway Company, like the Daheng Arms Company, the Daheng Shipping Company, the Daheng Grain Trading Company, the Daheng Mining Corporation, the Daheng Iron and Steel Corporation, and other state-owned super-large enterprises with the names of Daheng and Empire, is wholly owned by the 'State Assets Commission'.

The officially established 'Daheng Imperial Railway Company' wholly owns and currently holds seven railway branches, namely Jingzhou Railway Company, Dongdingzhou Railway Company, Nanhai Railway Company, Zishengzhou Railway Company, Ningyu Railway Company, Quyang Railway Company and Zhongluo Railway Company, and is fully responsible for the construction, maintenance and operation of the official railways in the seven states now controlled by the Lin Dynasty, with a total mileage of more than 6,500 kilometers.

It is worth noting that in the seven states now controlled by the Lin dynasty, there are still hundreds of kilometers of private railways, most of which are specialized mining areas and short-distance passenger railways.

The empire did not forcibly acquire or ban their operations, but only issued relevant regulations, making it clear that new railways in the future need to use 1.45 meters as the gauge.

The coexistence of the Daheng Imperial Railway Company and many private railway companies in the private sector is also a typical example of the 'government-civilian economic system' advocated by the Lin Dynasty.

The Lin dynasty has repeatedly publicly declared that it will encourage private capital to enter the market, gradually liberalize some regulated industries, and further promote the 'government-private economic system'.

At present, the Lin Dynasty adopted a combination of government and private economic system, and official capital still controls a large number of industries, whether it is heavy industry, light companies, and even ordinary trading companies.

The official assets managed by the National Assets Management Commission are incomparably large and complex.

Nowadays, in the seven states under the control of the Lin Dynasty, almost all those with more than 1,000 employees are enterprises invested by official capital, and all kinds of enterprises with more than 100 employees and less than 1,000 employees, and enterprises wholly owned or controlled by official capital, have reached more than 70 percent.

The assets managed by the State Assets Management Commission account for more than 90% of all the industrial and commercial capital of the seven states of the Lin Dynasty!

This is also the reason why internal transactions can be adopted in national defense production, because all the industrial chains involved, including the transportation industry, are all controlled by official capital.

In the past year, the State Assets Management Commission, in accordance with Lin Ziran's instructions, has begun to gradually withdraw from non-key industries, allowing private capital to toss, while official capital is mainly concentrating on investing in heavy industry.

However, even so, the industries controlled by the NAAC will be very large, including heavy industries such as mining, iron and steel chemicals, petroleum, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, etc., as well as public services such as shipping and railways, and urban services such as water supply, port services, and grain trade!

It is worth noting that, in addition to the legal explicitly recognized, in addition to the two major industries of arms and ammunition R&D and production, and grain trade, which need to apply for special licenses, and it is clearly stipulated that only the two major industries of arms and ammunition research and development and production and grain trade can only be wholly owned by state capital.

There is no explicit law prohibiting private capital from engaging in these key industries, whether it is mining or urban public services, or iron and steel mining, oil, or shipping, or even the railway industry, the empire has no legal restrictions, well, foreign capital is an exception.

Legally speaking, private capital can also enter the above-mentioned industries, but in the face of a strong State Assets Management Commission, private capital is at most a supplement, and it is impossible to shake the control of state capital over the above-mentioned key industries.

However, even so, it can be regarded as a huge opening, allowing private capital to invest in other industries except weapons and food.

In other words, the weapons industry is a special industry, and it is very normal for the government to control it, but the grain industry is controlled in Daheng, which is not normal in many other countries, but Lin Ziran believes that food is related to people's livelihood, and this thing must be controlled, and capital cannot be allowed to fool around.

Moreover, Lin Ziran has always been worried about the fact that the Daheng Empire is the largest grain exporter of Blue Star!

In his view, the grain export policy of the Great Heng Empire in recent decades has been completely detrimental to itself and others.

Although Daheng has a lot of land and a high grain output, it is certainly okay to have a surplus of this grain that can be used for export, but it should never be exported in large quantities.

Looking at the huge amount of grain exported by the feudal towns every year before, especially most of the grain was still exported to the Northern Six Nations Alliance, the two southern countries and the countries of the Southern Continent, only a small part of which was exported to other continents, Lin Ziran was speechless.

You must know that the relationship between the Great Heng Empire and the surrounding countries is not good, and it belongs to the old enemy who has fought for many years.

The Hengao War that year was basically the entire Southern Continent plus the Northern Six Nations Alliance, and by the way, several major powers from other continents joined forces to fight against the Ji Dynasty of the Great Heng Empire.

In the face of such an international environment, in recent decades, the Great Heng Empire has also exported a large amount of grain, and it is also a large amount of grain exported when its own people are hungry.

Even if there is a surplus of grain production capacity, even if there is too much grain to eat, it is completely possible to make wine for export, or simply switch to other economic crops, so that you can also make money.

Why work hard to grow a lot of grain, and then export it cheaply to neighboring countries, this is the enemy.

Therefore, Lin Ziran continued the grain trade monopoly policy of various feudal towns, but the purpose was not to lower the price of grain, so as to obtain more grain for export and then get more funds to sustain the war, Lin Ziran did not need to do this.

He continued the monopoly of the grain trade during the feudal period, purely to suppress the quantity of grain exports.

Just don't export grain, starve to death those bastards on the southern continent, starve to death those barbarians in the alliance of six northern countries, and starve to death the two anti-bone boys of the two southern countries!
