Only science and technology can prosper Qin, and only science and technology are the primary productive forces.

The railway from Xianyang to Quxian is only the first, and there will be thousands of railways running through Daqin in the future. Historically, the West was able to complete the industrial revolution in just a few decades. In the more than 20 years since the emergence of trains, mature trains have been perfected, and a railway network with a total length of more than 10,000 kilometers has been built.

How many people does a country in the West have, and how many people does Daqin have today. Li Chen plans to build a railway network of no less than 10,000 miles in ten years. The railway runs through the entire commercial intensive area of Daqin, and all the trade-intensive cities of Daqin are completely connected.

If Daqin wants to carry out the revolution of industrialization, then it can be said that the railway is a blood vessel, and only the blood vessels are all over the body, which can transfuse blood for the whole body and make the whole body grow healthily.

The next day, the sky was just dawning, Shimenshan Economic Development Zone.

Li Chen had already decided that he would take the lead in setting up a railway manufacturing plant to be responsible for the manufacture of trains, and then set up the Daqin Railway Bureau to be responsible for the construction of the railway.

Li Chen looked at Liu Bang, the big butler standing in front of him, and asked, "Liu Bang, first allocate 300,000 coins to establish the Daqin Railway Manufacturing Company." The Damo Academy provides the technicians, and you are responsible for recruiting the workers. I only have one request, whether it is the locomotive or the rails, it must be put into production within three months. ”

"Yes." Liu Bang responded.

Li Chen has many ways to make money, but there are also many ways to spend money. The upper and lower lips moved, and the 300,000 coins were spent.

Of course, isn't the purpose of making money just to spend it? So Liu Bang didn't dare to have any objections. As soon as Li Chen gave this order, he took out the money in a hurry. Anyway, this money is also Li Chen's, and he Liu Bang can't manage it.

This one coin is about equal to the purchase of 1,000 yuan in the sixties and seventies of the previous life, and these 300,000 coins are about 300 million yuan of investment in the sixties and seventies of the previous life. Such a huge investment is only the initial investment of a railway manufacturing plant, so it can be seen that this should be the largest investment in Daqin this year.

However, it is not.

It's just a factory, and the amount of money spent is just a drop in the bucket compared to infrastructure.

Soon, the news that Daqin was going to start large-scale construction of the railway spread. Li Chen has already invested in the construction of a railway equipment manufacturing plant, and it is said that he will soon be preparing to invest in the construction of a railway of more than 3,000 kilometers from Xianyang to Qu County.

When Daqin built the expressway, it can be said that a group of businessmen were rich, and with the expressway, the speed of merchants was much faster, and it was these businessmen who benefited from it. The business between Daqin and Goguryeo enriched a group of merchants, and later, the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone was established, and the construction of Lianyungang in Hequ County also enriched a large number of merchants.

In short, as long as Li Chen makes any big moves. Then the businessmen who are busy behind his ass will definitely be able to get a big piece of the cake.

The construction of the railway, a full 3,000 kilometers. How many workers and materials are needed for this, and this must require the assistance of many merchants. As soon as they heard the news, many thoughtful businessmen began to inquire.

That's right, this time to build the railway, Li Chen still plans to use the method of building the highway at the beginning. With such a huge amount of expenses, Li Chen did not intend to take out silver from the treasury, nor would he take money from Lijiazhuang. Rather, it is taken from the people and for the people.

Since after the construction of the railway, it was the merchants who benefited first, so the money for the construction of the railway naturally had to be paid by these merchants.

Soon, word broke about the railway tender. It is said that it was Daqin that established the General Administration of Qin Railway to be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the Daqin Railway. At present, 1,000 kilometers will be used as a bid section, and the entire Xianqu Railway will be divided into three sections for bidding.

It is said that the chamber of commerce that won the bid first had to inject 1 million coins to jointly establish the Daqin Railway Construction Bureau with the Qin Iron General Bureau, and the current three bids were named Qin Tie 1 Bureau, Qin Tie 2 Bureau, and Qin Tie 3 Bureau.

The Qintie Construction Bureau is funded by the chamber of commerce that won the bid, and the technology of the Qintie General Administration is a shareholder, with the Qintie General Administration accounting for 70% of the shares, and the chamber of commerce that won the bid accounting for 30% of the shares. Within 20 years after the completion of the railway hypothesis, the railway will pay dividends according to the proportion of its shareholding after discarding the cost, and after 20 years, the railway will be recaptured by state ownership.

Although it only holds 30% of the equity of the railway for 20 years. But even so, the tender will be crazy enough. This is the bloodline of Daqin in the future, and whoever wins the bid will have the initiative on the railway for twenty years.

Of course, Li Chen made the most money in this matter, which is equivalent to not moving, not spending a penny, and prostituting 70% of the railway's income in vain.

The construction cost of every 1,000 kilometers is estimated at 1 million coins, which can be said to be astronomical. Even a big chamber of commerce like the Ba family can't come up with so much cash for a while. Therefore, the major chambers of commerce began to gradually unite with each other. Several well-connected merchants will jointly contribute money to bid for one of the lots.

Soon, the council chamber was filled with businessmen who had come to bid. There are only three bidding projects this time, which can be described as a small porridge and many monks.

"Generalissimo, I heard that you have invested a lot of money in the railway equipment factory recently?" As soon as Li Chen came in, a group of businessmen immediately surrounded him and asked familiarly.

"Not much, not much, just 300,000 coins." Li Chen hurriedly said modestly.

As soon as Li Chen's words came out, all the businessmen were shocked. Heart, the generalissimo is really beyond the reach of my generation, and the huge amount of 300,000 coins is actually just a mere one in his heart.

At this time, I saw that Liu Bang had already stepped onto the front platform.

"Ahem." Liu Bang coughed lightly twice and signaled everyone in the audience to be quiet. Then he said: "There are only three sections of railways in our bid this time, and naturally there are only three railway construction bureaus that need to be jointly established. This time, the bidding is a capital injection, that is to say, whoever injects more capital will be whose bid is his. ”

"The basic amount of capital for each bid is 1 million coins, let's start the bidding for the first lot now, please hand in your bids."

I heard Liu Bangyi say that like the Ba family, a big family like the Wang family is full of confidence. They have more spare money in their hands, and whoever has more funds at their disposal at this time will have a greater certainty.

Their strength is relatively strong, they have a lot of money in their hands, and there are many small chambers of commerce that can be gathered. In this way, in the end, it is naturally these big chambers of commerce that have a greater chance of becoming everyone's spokesperson.

Although there were only three bids for the project, the competition was fierce. If you can do it, then needless to say, these people are afraid that their brains can be typed.

The bidding continued into the evening, and after several rounds of enthusiastic bidding, Babbitt, Wang and Montessori were awarded three lots each.

Although there were only three bids, only Pap, Wang and Montessori won the bid. But in fact, they are just spokespersons who have been pushed to the forefront, and the construction of this Xianqu railway can also be said to have gathered the strength of most of the merchants of Daqin.
