Chapter 584: Five-Year Plan
Three months later.
Since the end of the bidding, Daqin can be said to have set off a train fever. The railway equipment manufacturing plant funded by Li Chen has already been put into production, but the chamber of commerce that won the bid is too enthusiastic. At present, Qin Tie No. 1 Bureau, Qin Tie No. 2 Bureau and Qin Tie No. 3 Bureau have been put into production at the same time.
Now the rails produced by the railway equipment factory are in short supply, and whenever the rails leave the factory, then the entrance of the railway equipment factory must be full of horse-drawn carriages. In order to snatch the produced rails, I don't know how many times this one has been beaten.
"Lao Liu, this time my Wang family said that they would also need 80,000 railroad tracks."
"My Meng family also wants 80,000." The stewards of the Wang family and the Meng family expressed their positions one after another.
"Liu Bang, if you don't give me 80,000 railroad tracks this time, the old lady will have to go to the generalissimo to sue you for dereliction of duty." Ba Qing shook the huge object on his chest and said angrily.
"I said aunt, grandma, and two uncles, even if you kill me, you don't have so many rails for you. This time, there are a total of 100,000 railroad tracks, and if you all want 80,000, it will not be enough for you to fill in my Lao Liu. Liu Bang looked at the three of them with a speechless look.
"What? Only 100,000 in total? This mile requires 200 railroad tracks, which is enough to build a distance of 500 miles. Together, our three lots are 3,000 kilometers and 6,000 miles away. The main road is 6,000 miles long, and there are branches in each county along the way. If you produce like this, we won't be able to build this Xianqu railway even in the Year of the Monkey. The steward of the Wang family said angrily.
"A factory, more than 20,000 people, day and night to rush to work for you. Now that I've reached the maximum output, you're going to kill me, and there's no more railroad tracks. ”
"However, the Generalissimo has already ordered the start of the construction of the Second Railroad Equipment Manufacturing Plant. After the completion of the construction of our second factory, this production capacity can be raised. Liu Bang said softly.
"Let's not talk about the matter of the second factory, Lao Liu, let me ask you, how to distribute the rails this time. Where are the workers on our construction site waiting in a hurry? Montessori's steward asked.
Liu Bang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's useless for you to embarrass me about this matter, how to distribute the generalissimo has already made a decision." Divide it evenly, you three, 33,000 rails each. As for the extra 1,000, I will give it to the Bajia Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Lao Liu, last time we were in Qinglou, you promised to take care of the Wang family, why did you change your mind now." The steward of the Wang family said indignantly.
"What, take care of your Wang family, last time this old boy was in the Qinglou, he also said this to me." The Montessori steward said the same.
"Lao Liu, you old boy doesn't talk about martial arts, let's go to the generalissimo to report your old boy's dereliction of duty." The Montessori and Wang stewards said angrily.
"My old Liu didn't take bribes, can the bribes in the lower body be called bribes?"
"I said, when I get to the generalissimo, I, the bribe-taker, will play fifty boards, how can you bribe less?" Liu Bang looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
Liu Bang is an old fritter, and he understands Li Chen's bottom line very well. This kind of thing is not considered bribery, this kind of business exchange is very normal. When you are an official in Liu Bang's position, how can you have less entertainment.
"Alright, let's hurry up and arrange the loading. The next time I came, I couldn't say that the second factory would have been able to put into production, and the output would naturally go up at that time. Liu Bang said with a smile and sent the three away.
As for whether the output of this rail can go up next time they come, Liu Bang can't guarantee it. After all, it requires a lot of cast iron casting. Although the process is not complicated, the amount of iron that needs to be consumed is huge.
The railroad track is produced, not conjured. It would be nice if Liu Bang could conjure up the railroad tracks like a trick. However, the one who can do tricks is called Liu Qian, and he Liu Bang doesn't have such skills.
The railway of Daqin is in full swing, and the road from Xianyang to Qu County is in full swing, and there are construction sites everywhere.
Now, the Ryukyus have all set in the hands of Daqin. The construction of the forward base for the Ryukyus has also been completed, and the merchants of the south have begun to rely on the Ryukyus and have begun to do business around the world.
According to Li Chen's next five-year plan, Great Qin was not prepared for war in the last five years. First, due to the perennial war, the aging of the population in Daqin began to intensify, and the fertility began to decline. As the old saying goes, the warmongers will perish, and at this time it is time for Great Qin to recuperate.
Second, with the current situation of Daqin, there are only two attack directions. One is from the land, and from the land it is either the steppes of Kushan or the Siberian plain. But the Kushan Empire is not a soft persimmon, although Great Qin has the strength to take down Guishan, but whether it is from the logistical pressure or from the source of troops, it will inevitably put Great Qin under great pressure.
The location of the Kushan Empire is probably equivalent to that of Outer Mongolia in the previous life. And now that Daqin has occupied the rich Hetao Plain, which is enough to become Daqin's grazing land, there is no need to covet the barren grassland. All in all, Guishan can be beaten, but it is not necessary for the time being.
Li Chen didn't want to fight a land war, so a naval battle was even more unnecessary. Fuso, Ryukyu, and Sanhan, which are close to Daqin, have all belonged to Daqin, or actually belong to Daqin. If you are fighting, it will be done in Australia, Europe, and North America in the previous life. According to Daqin's current technology, it is indeed a bit unrealistic to use the existing sea ships to conquer the world.
Whether it was attacking Sanhan, Fuso, Ryukyu, and Daqin's fleets were basically offshore voyages close to land. But even so, the wind and waves on the sea are a difficult problem to solve. If you sail on the ocean, you will be afraid that more soldiers will die at sea than on the battlefield.
Now, Li Chen wants to develop science and technology and develop the population. When the entrance of Great Qin grows, wait for Great Qin's technology to develop. When Daqin's railways are all over the land, Daqin's steam ironclad ships are all over the sea, and Daqin can easily raise a million soldiers, that is the time when Daqin will dominate the world.
Now, what Daqin has to do is to develop Fuso, Sanhan, and Ryukyu well, so that these places that have been occupied can give back to Daqin. After Daqin grows strongly, Daqin will be able to dominate the world at that time.
Li Chen knew that in order to do all this, a five-year plan would definitely not be enough. Because of this, Li Chen made a total of three similar five-year plans, and Li Chen was confident that after the three five-year plans, Daqin would definitely be able to be reborn.
