"Lord, if you build a bridge, isn't this just a road?" A sincere smile appeared on Cheng Yu's serious face.

His road runs through almost the entire Lelang County, connecting the coastal cities with the inland cities in the county, and even directly reaching the state capital, the project is indeed huge, and it consumes a lot of financial and material resources.

"Zhongde! If you build a few more bridges, is it that the railway should go all the way south, directly through Huanghai County, and connect to Luodong County around the big bend. Mao Jue took the plan and hurriedly glanced at the parameters and mileage behind him, and his mouth twitched unnaturally.

As Xu Ding said, this project is huge, and I don't know how much steel will be consumed.

Of course, he was not very happy, and he finally saved some money, and he couldn't let them lose.

Cheng Yu said: "Don't worry, Xiaoxian, the railway in Huanghai County is not planned to be built for the time being, and I will not propose to start building the railway in Pingzhou within ten years." ”

Although Huanghai County was the first to be included in the rule of Fangyi, and also received strong support for development, but after the appearance of Tianqiao, the development of Lelang County is the fastest, the population and economic expansion is the fastest, and the people's livelihood is the first to walk in front of the four counties of Pingzhou.

After all, the foundation of Lelang County is there, and most of the people are considered local, and they have recovered the fastest.

Therefore, now Lelang is the main economic zone of Pingzhou, and the optimization and upgrading of roads is more urgent.

"Ten years!" Mao Jue quickly made calculations in his heart, calculating the benefits of this investment.

Xu Dingdao: "Filial piety doesn't need to be counted, it is granted to Zhongde, this railway can be prepared for construction, but it must be included in the three-year plan and five-year plan, it is impossible for you to build it too quickly, it takes time, and the technical personnel can only be limited, and you also need to train some technical backbones for building bridges and railways in mountainous areas." ”

"Ugh! My lord, you have a lot of conditions, but I choose to accept it! As long as it is approved, the difficulties can be overcome, as long as there are funds and sufficient rails, even if there are few technicians, Cheng Yu believes that as long as he works hard, he can always do a good job.

"Well, since the lord said, then this railway can be built, and it can be connected from Zengcheng to Liaodong in the future, and it is really necessary to accumulate experience in hilly railway construction from Lelang County first." Since it is a three-year plan and a five-year plan, Mao Jue has no objections, and the funds do not need to be invested all at once, which can alleviate the financial pressure.

Moreover, this is a technological accumulation for Liaodong to connect Pingzhou, Liaodong to the north, and the railway to the Handong Metropolitan Protectorate.

For such a huge area as the Handong Metropolitan Protectorate, the railway is its mainstream and the main artery that will support the development of the Handong Metropolitan Protectorate in the future.

From this point of view, Mao Jue could see it clearly, so he happily agreed.

"My lord, our Qingzhou railway should also continue to be repaired to the west and lengthen and add new branches."

"Lord, we can also build a railway in Taishan County, preferably through Langya County and connect to Beihai Kingdom."

Seeing that the two of them stood up and said that they wanted to repair the railway, Xu Ding gestured with his hand to sit down and said: "The rivers in the western part of Qingzhou are too dense, and it is very difficult to drive the railway bridge.

At this stage, the main thing is to improve the railway in Liaodong and the railway to Youzhou, so you can improve the hardened road. ”

I can't help but feel a little sorry for the frustration and trial, but what Xu Ding said is also true.

The railway between Qingzhou and Taishan is currently suitable for large-scale construction in the east.

Lelang County belongs to Pingzhou, and Pingzhou now belongs to the hinterland of the rear, and the construction and development are conducive to the overall coordination and feedback in the future.

"The two incidents just now involved the road, so let's talk about this aspect!" Xu Dingdao: "I started at the beginning, our new currency is now finally rolled out to the whole country, but then our currency may have a new reform, the future will be silver as the standard, copper will lose as the basic unit of payment, no longer used as money." ”

Instead of using copper as a unit of currency, silver is used as a common unit of currency.

All at once the people began to talk about it.

They don't know much about this, they only know that copper has been used as money for hundreds of years.

Copper is money, and money is copper.

Whoever discovers copper, the refining mold is money.

Without copper, how much silver would be needed to meet the needs of daily use.

"Didn't the lord find some big silver mine!" Mao Jue asked.

The reason for the issuance of new coins is that Weiyuan Island is a large copper-producing island, rich in copper mines, excavated and refined, and has rich reserves.

Now Xu Ding intends to change the basic unit of silver to the standard, and it must be supported by silver mines.

Silver mines, silver also have piles of mountain mines, that is not developed.

The copper mine on Weiyuan Island has reassured everyone and injected them with confidence at all times, and now there is a silver mine, which is worth it.

Xu Ding looked at the commotion of the crowd: "Not only silver mines, we have also discovered a lot of gold mines. ”

What, not only silver but also gold.

Gold is more valuable than silver, does that mean that Donglai is really out of money this time, and there is an endless amount of money.

In the past, there was a small amount of copper that was not used, and now there are mountains of gold and silver.

Everyone was excited.

Xu Ding would not lie to them, since he said it, it must be true.

"The lord doesn't know where the silver and gold mines are?"

"On the islands around the South China Sea, there is a lot of gold and silver, and there is a good warm climate, and there are abundant agricultural products." Xu Ding said.

The South China Sea, it seems to be quite far away.

But how can the gold and silver mountains be let go, and they will be brought over in the distance.

"So my lord, you are going to tilt your energy to the South China Sea, and you intend to send more troops and horses, expand ships, and strengthen the navy." When he came back, Mao Jue found that Xu Ding still wanted to get money out of him.

Xu Ding said with a smile: "It's still filial piety to react quickly, that's right, my idea is indeed to intend to send more permanent troops and horses and population to develop the South China Sea area, which requires troops and immigrants, and even more large and fast ships." ”

At this time, Xin Ping, who had been obscure, stood up: "I have the most say in this matter, the South China Sea is full of barbarians, it is really a good place, rich in mineral deposits, the climate is very suitable for the growth of crops, and the land is fertile, as long as there are ships connected and manpower is invested in development, not only can you easily obtain gold and silver, but also harvest a large number of agricultural products, which is a real granary and money bag."

Whoever gets there, who can get the whole world, I hope you can seriously consider it, in short, my Xin family is ready to go to sea to build the Great South China Sea resource belt. ”

In the eyes of everyone, although the South China Sea area has expanded for thousands of miles, it feels like the island, the peninsula, and the Northeast are also wild and barren, and they need continuous investment, and then wait for many years to feed back.

Therefore, everyone is more willing to exert force internally, expanding to Youzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou.

Raiding the hinterland of the Han Dynasty based on the Central Plains is the mainstream, and it is the purpose and goal of seizing the world.

The construction of overseas makes them still a little unable to turn around.

Attacking the country with absolute superiority is the right way.

Although they have been exposed to a lot of advanced thinking and have learned about the size of the world, they still have many limitations.

Therefore, the concept is still a little unable to keep up with Xu Ding's footsteps, and his eyes are still intentionally or unintentionally staring at Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Sun Jian and others.
