Meng Tian attaches so much importance to the railway, mainly because of the special geographical environment of his war zone. The logistical supply of land operations is largely dependent on rail transportation. Compared with horse-drawn carriages and tracked vehicles, the convenience brought by railway transportation is very obvious. A single train easily transports a battalion of combat units to any location along the railway. It was also possible to install a wide variety of artillery on railway trains, which was powerful enough to cover the entire line of fire for this. And in terms of logistics. A train carries far more supplies than any other means of transport.

In fact, the Qin army's logistical transportation had begun to rely on the railway network. If you look at the logistics supply lines of the Qin army, you will find out. The Qin army usually prioritized the use of railways to concentrate the transportation of supplies, and then extended the road system at the point of the railway and at various points along the line, which led to the development of multiple highway branches on a single railway, and the railway was at the center of the entire supply. The road became a concentrated distribution point for these supplies. The Qin army's logistical supply was already strongly dependent on the railway. This is very much like the German army in World War I. The German army was able to win all the wars before reunification because of the well-developed railway network. The deployment of the German army was carried out by rail. And the Qin army is also very clear about this, the railway is the central station of the Qin army's logistics and supplies. This is very similar, but the difference is that the Qin army took the initiative to turn the railway into a blockade. And with this as an extension, take the initiative to set up an attack control range around the railway, and then consume the opponent little by little. In fact, the Qin army merged the two systems of railways and highways into one huge network system.

Meng Tian's report was quickly submitted to the two major military institutions, the State Captain's Office and the General Staff, and then the report was handed over to Shang Wen for processing. Because this requires government financial allocation, the Governor's Office can approve it. Use of funds. But the appropriation comes from Shangwen here. Shang Wen has to look at the whole situation as a matter of whether or not to allocate this amount.

The report was sent by telegram to Shang Wen's office, but Shang Wen did not need to see it urgently. The office assistant will not be able to get the documents until they are processed by the prime minister. Everywhere in the Qin State, things happened again. This requires a large number of civil servants to deal with. However, with the expansion of office staff, the original office location of Shangwen can no longer meet the office demand. This required the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Qin State to choose a new office space.

This amount is negotiated with the Taxation Commission. The main purpose of this money is not for public construction, and Qin currently has a 10% fund that does not need to be managed through the tax collection committee, and this money is the private income of the Qin king. That is, royal money. There is also an additional amount to this payment, which is the construction of the tomb of the Qin king. However, in view of the actual needs, the Taxation Commission considered it necessary to strengthen the construction of government office space, and this money had been proposed before, but it was temporarily repurposed, mainly for the construction of large wooden ships for the navy. As a result, the Navy disappointed everyone. Naturally, this money was also lost. Now this money must be disbursed.

Since the allocation is made, it is necessary to choose what kind of building. Shang Wen knew that the current number of high-rise buildings in the Qin State had reached twelve floors. Previously, the Qin king had explicitly decreed that no high-rise buildings should be built outside the new city. This is mainly because once a high-rise building is built, it will be able to overlook the entire Qin Palace, and this kind of challenge to the royal family is naturally not allowed.

However, there is no such restriction in the Qin concession area and the surrounding area of Xinzheng, South Korea, mainly because the Han Palace is a little dilapidated, and the Queen of Han naturally can't get used to it, so she chose another piece of land outside the Han Palace as a special land for the Korean royal family, which is different from the wooden structure of the Han Palace. All the buildings are high-rise buildings with a modern architectural atmosphere, and Han Shu built two 20-storey high-rise buildings as the landmark buildings of Xinzheng in one go, and the most important thing is that the two buildings can be hung with electric lights of various colors on the outside. Moreover, the high-rise buildings are made of reinforced concrete, which is not only structurally superior to the wooden structure, but also due to its original structural form in fireproof materials.

In the face of the architectural catch-up from Xinzheng, South Korea, the Qin State was naturally not far behind. Since the new city could not be built, Xianyang found another way to build a new city twenty places east of the new city, which had not yet been named. But it's home to a high concentration of high-rise buildings. Here, the Qin State was to build a twenty-two-story high-rise building. This building is mainly used for commercial, office, hotel. And the scenery here is beautiful, the transportation is convenient, Xianyang East Railway Station, the highway intersection is less than ten miles away from here. As a result, a large number of hotels and public places have built high-rise buildings on this land. On top of that, there are a lot of undeveloped areas where parking lots can be built, which is very important, and the cost of modification and construction is basically 1:3, because the construction requires a lot of renovation costs. So the cost of building is much lower than rebuilding.

The reason why the Qin State was able to build high-rise buildings was because of the support and demand for convenient technological inventions. With the development of commercial activities, the original shop area can no longer meet its commercial needs on the plane. Especially large shopping malls. office space, as well as hotel services. But the price of commercial land has always been very expensive. In the heart of a city, its commercial land is much higher than the surrounding area. This has to allow businesses to take advantage of the high-rise land in the space.

The Qin State built a seven-story building in the new city. To build such a high-rise building, the Qin State used a tower crane with a non-detachable base as a large lifting equipment, mixers, and the use of hollow bricks increased the experience of the Qin State in building high-rise buildings.

Most importantly, the construction of Xinzheng in South Korea, the first construction of a high-rise building with more than ten floors in Xinzheng provided the architects and engineers of the Qin State with the experience of practicing high-rise buildings, which are important reasons why high-rise buildings can be built.

Technical equipment is also supported by piling rigs. This kind of pile driver that can drive nearly 80 zhang deep into the ground can effectively provide a solid foundation for these high-rise buildings, which are indispensable for high-rise buildings. Of course, the most important thing is the use of reinforced concrete materials. Without these, it would not be possible to support such a large high-rise building with wooden materials alone.

The other is the zoning of urban functions. Cities are no longer expanding in a centralized manner. Instead, as the city expands, some of its functions are dispersed to form various urban districts. These high-rise buildings built by the Qin State are differentiating their original commercial functions. These commercial functions have the capacity to form new urban districts.
