Chapter 358: Today's Great Qin Empire (2)

From the Great Li Empire to the Great Qin Empire, there is one of the most obvious changes that has attracted everyone's attention, that is, the railway tracks, and even people who have heard of the railway tracks have made a special trip to the place where there are railroad roads to see what the railroad and even the monsters that can breathe fire and smoke on the railroad road are like.

Before the founding of the Great Qin Empire, the railway roads in the Guannai have been under construction, tens of thousands of prisoners of the Tang Empire, tens of thousands of prisoners of the armies of major families, and young people recruited by the Yun family, a road repair team is active in all parts of the Great Qin Empire, building rail roads from morning to night.

It is also dangerous to build rail roads, and they used their own people to build rail roads before, so they must be careful and careful to prevent casualties, but with the addition of the captives of the Tang Empire, those dangerous things are handed over to these prisoners, after all, they are soldiers of the enemy country, and it doesn't matter if they die, as for Yunyi to go on an expedition to the Tang Empire in the future, and bring the land of the Tang Empire under the rule of the Great Qin Empire, let's talk about it at that time.

There are too many differences between the wooden rail road during the Shengwu Dynasty and the railway rail road of the Great Qin Empire, the wooden rail road can only run special carriages, and the railway track runs the "steel monster" that never knows how to get tired.

In the space of five years, the railroad has connected Xinping City with the other ten state cities of the Great Qin Empire, especially in Zezhou, where the railroad leads to every county town, making it very convenient and fast to travel to and from each county.

At important times, the Dali Empire has thousands of miles to expedit, which is a speed that needs to be achieved by changing people and horses halfway, and the train can travel 1,200 miles in one day and one night, and the train does not know that it is tired, the carrying capacity is huge, and there is a train, and it is more convenient and faster for people to travel to and from various places.

When Yunhua County began to build the railway, it attracted the attention of countless people, and then after the train was officially opened, many people tried to take the train, and then it was out of control, and experienced the convenience and speed of taking the train, as long as they can take the train, people will never ride horses, the cost of taking the train is not too high, and it saves a lot of time, people are willing to take the train to and from all over the place.

Especially merchants, in the past, merchants also needed to hire a dart bureau to help transport goods, but now it is good to transport them directly by train, and no bandits dare to rob the train, if anyone dares, the next day, the warrior guild in the state will issue a bounty task, I believe that there will be countless warriors willing to complete this task.

The emergence of trains was indeed to speed up exchanges between the Great Qin Empire and promote economic development, and in addition, trains made it easier and faster for people to travel, and people in places that had not yet built railroad roads hoped that the empire would quickly build railroad roads in their area.

The construction of railway roads is a big project, and the Great Qin Empire is so big, it is already very fast to open up various state cities in five years.

Yunyi's rail construction plan:

Phase 1 (completed): connecting every state city in the Great Qin Empire by railroad roads;

Phase 2 (ongoing): connecting each county in the Great Qin Empire by railroad roads;

Phase 3 (not carried out): Connecting every county seat in the Great Qin Empire with railroad roads.

The first phase has been completed, the second phase has just been carried out, the third phase is far away, Yunyi only hopes that there will be more than ten years to complete the second phase of the task, as for the connection between the counties, it is better to hand over to the cement road.

Because of the railroad tracks, the Great Qin Empire's plan to move the capital can be completed in just a few months, which will make countless people's jaws drop if it is placed in the outside world.

……

As one of the foundations of the Great Qin Empire, industry, its development has always been valued by Yunyi.

Before the establishment of the Great Qin Empire, industry had been developing in the two regions of Yingzhou and Yunhua County, and under the guidance of Yunyi, the speed of industrial development was still very fast.

After the establishment of the Great Qin Empire, Zezhou became a new industrial development area, the main reason is that Zezhou has the basic conditions for industrial development in the north, and the existing development industries in other regions of the Great Qin Empire are expected to wait for several years.

In the past five years, two more large steel mills have appeared on the land of Zezhou, and the steel output of the Great Qin Empire has skyrocketed, even if the steel output of other countries in the entire land of Shenzhou is combined, it is not comparable to the Great Qin Empire.

The explosion of steel production has also accelerated the development of industry, first of all, the railway industry and shipbuilding industry, which need a lot of steel, and if it were not for the emergence of new steel mills, I am afraid that they will not be able to support such large-scale railway construction, and the shipbuilding speed of shipyards will also be affected.

Textile mills, glass factories, paper mills, cement factories and other factories have blossomed everywhere in Zezhou, Yunyi has given up the Yun's sole control of industry, and handed over some factories closely related to people's lives to Xu, Shi, Lin, Wang, Zhang, Chang, Gao, and Hong.

Xu, Shi, Lin, Wang, Zhang, Chang, Gao, Hong eight meritorious families are once a member of the Yunhua family, they followed the rise of the Yun family, after Yunyi ascended to the top of the Yun family to become the first family in the Guannei, Xu, Shi, Lin, Wang, Zhang, Chang, Gao, Hong eight families were also rewarded by Yunyi, the lowest hereditary title of the family is also a first-class earl, and then people called Xu, Shi, Lin, Wang, Zhang, Chang, Gao, Hong as the eight meritorious families.

Xu, Shi, Lin, Wang, Zhang, Chang, Gao, and Hong are now worthy of the title of the family, and the eight families already have innate grandmasters, although they have become families, the eight families still hug the thighs of the Yun family tightly, and have been following the eight families of the Yun family, they know too well that everything today is given by the Yun family, and they understand the strength of the Yun family.

Yunyi has the loyalty of the eight meritorious families, so handing over some industrial projects that are not too important in the industrial field to the eight meritorious families can also be regarded as the strength of the eight meritorious families.

The land reform was successfully completed, and in just a few years, people were able to eat and clothe themselves, and they had more money to buy other things, and the relatively cheap soap, textiles, mirrors, paper, and other things produced in various factories were welcomed by ordinary people.

As demand increased, the Eight Great Families naturally accelerated the expansion of various industries in order to meet the needs of the Great Qin Empire, and at the same time promote the industrial development of the Great Qin Empire.

Fortunately, in the past few years, the teenagers have grown up and become a new labor force to meet the speed of industrial development.

In fact, in Yunyi's heart, the steam industry is relatively low-end, and Yunyi wants to advance the industry to the electric age, but the steam industry has not yet been thoroughly eaten by the disciples of the Mo family, if electricity is taken out by Yunyi, I am afraid that the disciples of the Mo family will become unacceptable, and it is not a good thing to pull out the seedlings too much, Yunyi can only continue to watch the development of the steam industry.
