He was very happy to see Gao Junshan listen to Cao Xinru's report, and praised him while inviting him to tea: "Xinru, Cam Ranh Bay has developed so rapidly in such a short period of time, and you, the mayor, have made great contributions!" Cao Xinru said modestly: "This is because of the cultivation of the mountain chief, the efforts of all colleagues in Cam Ranh Bay, and the hard work of the builders of Cam Ranh Bay, so that today's Cam Ranh Bay is here." Gao Junshan asked Cao Xinru mysteriously: "Do you know what Cam Ranh Bay lacks the most?" ”

"People?"

"That's not right." Gao Junshan shook his head,

"As the mayor of Cam Ranh Bay, you must understand that the most lacking thing in Cam Ranh Bay is fuel, that is, coal, we do not produce coal here, geological experts have discovered large open-pit coal mines in the north of Cochin, and now they have begun to be mined, these coal mines are the source of our energy in Cam Ranh Bay. Cam Ranh Bay is a large military port, and many steam engine warships will have to be refueled here in the future, so it is necessary to have a very large coal plant to process and store and manage this coal. Cao Xinru nodded frequently and said, "Mountain Chief, don't worry, the students know where to focus." Gao Junshan asked as a teacher: "So, what do you say is the point?" Cao Xinru replied: "I plan to open two more large coal factories in Xingang District and Waipu District. Gao Junshan smiled and asked, "You have opened so many coal factories, where does the coal come from?" Cao Xinru replied: "Bring them over by boat, we have a boat in Cam Ranh Bay." ”

"Have you forgotten what the teacher told you?" Gao Junshan still kept smiling,

"Trains are the best means of transportation for supplies." Cao Xinru became excited: "That's right! How did the students forget about the train? But there are no trains now! Gao Junshan said: "You built the country's first train in Cam Ranh Bay, what technical strength do you need, I will transfer you from the capital, as long as you fancy someone, I will fully support you and bring this person over to you." ”

"Great! When Cam Ranh Bay has a train, he won't envy the mayors of other cities. Gao Junshan said: "Don't be too happy too early, after all, the train has not yet been skimmed." Do you know what you're going to do before that? ”

"Yes, yes." Cao Xinru hurriedly replied.

"Tell me about it." Cao Xinru replied without hesitation: "Lay the railway." Gao Junshan approvingly: "If you have the foresight, you can lay the railway first, and when the train is built, you can travel on the tracks." Cao Xinru said: "Students will organize manpower and open a train manufacturing plant and a rail factory" Gao Junshan said: "Making trains is not something that you can complete with the power of a city, you must raise the strength of the whole country, so I decided to set up a railway bureau in the imperial court, and the first train manufacturing plant is located in your Cam Ranh Bay, as for the rail factory, it will be exempted, there are two steel factories in Cam Ranh Bay, just let the steel plant produce rails, Cam Ranh Bay should set up a railway branch, and the matter of laying the railway will be handed over to the railway branch to do, in addition, The railway branch should also take on the task of building a railway station. Cao Xinru was a little disappointed and asked, "So, what should students do?" Gao Junshan said: "In addition to being your mayor, you are also the deputy director of the railway branch, which is called the Cam Ranh Bay Railway Branch." Cao Xinru was very happy to hear that he was also the deputy director of the Cam Ranh Bay Railway Branch, and he was determined to let the world's first train run on the fields of Cam Ranh Bay.

Gao Junshan said: "I immediately ordered the Jinling Steam Engine Factory to transfer ten 1,000-horsepower steam engines to Cam Ranh Bay for the manufacture of trains. ”…… Cao Xinru returned to the yamen of the city government and immediately began to prepare for the construction of the Cam Ranh Bay Railway Branch.

The second and third groups of immigrants who came to Cam Ranh Bay. The second batch of immigrants came from Shandong and the third batch from Henan.

Most of the second group of immigrants entered the Cam Ranh Bay Railway Bureau, and Cao Xinru used her status as both mayor and deputy director of the Railway Bureau to quickly recruit 8,000 railway workers.

Cao Xinru, as the mayor of Cam Ranh Bay City, is not short of money, and for the construction of Cam Ranh Bay Military Port, the household department allocated 80 million silver to the government office of Cam Ranh Wan City, and Gao Junshan also promised him that in order to build the railway, he would add 30 million silver to Cam Ranh Bay City, and let him first pay a sum of money for the construction of the Cam Ranh Bay Railway Branch, and the additional 30 million yuan would be in place later.

Cao Xinru made a long list of 673 people, all of whom were students of Chongwen Institute of Technology, and he presented this list to Gao Junshan and asked that these people be transferred to Cam Ranh Bay to engage in research on train manufacturing.

After reading the list, Gao Junshan said to Cao Xinru: "You kid has a really big appetite, these people are the old-timers of my engineering college, and they have been poached by you, do you want to develop other industries?" Cao Xinru argued with reason: "Mountain Chief, this is what you promised the students, and whatever technical strength the students need, they can be transferred to Cam Ranh Bay." Gao Junshan said: "You're not welcome, your piece of paper has transferred one-fifth of my Huaxia technical strength." Cao Xinru said: "Does the mountain chief want to regret it?" ”

"You stinky boy, you poached so many of my technical talents at once, can I not feel distressed?" Gao Junshan scolded and scolded, but he still signed the report,

"You kid, I've told you that when the train is built, these engineers will send me back to their original jobs."

"Chief, won't you leave a few for the students?" Gao Junshan half-jokingly said: "If you want talents, you can cultivate them yourself." In short, Cao Xinru's goal has been achieved, and the question of the whereabouts of these engineers in the future is not what is being discussed now, what he needs is to build the train as soon as possible.

Cao Xinru first chose the location of the railway station in Liangwan District, because Liangwan District is the most prosperous area of Cam Ranh Bay, and it is close to the sea, which is the best place for the development of passenger transport in the future, and the railway station here can provide the best service for the public.

Once the site was chosen, Cao Xinru began to build office buildings for the incoming engineers, as well as residential complexes, which were part of the train station, which of course was right next to the train station.

He only needs to plan, and his team will complete the specific implementation. In addition, he gave short-term training to the workers he had recruited, and instead of placing them in the Liangwan district, he placed them in the Waipu district, because their workplaces were mainly in the wilderness, and the construction of the railroad was of course in the wilderness.

They were trained by the first batch of skilled workers who came to Cam Ranh Bay, all of whom had nearly four years of work experience, and all of them were masters.

Building a railway is a technical job, of course, engineers need to be on site to guide, so Cao Xinru is looking forward to the arrival of engineers day and night.

Although there are more than 8,000 of these new workers, there are nearly 40,000 of their families and children, so their homes are concentrated in one community, which is called Railway Street.
