Chapter 130 Initiation of the railway construction plan
Wang Haoran and Fan Qiusi hugged each other for a while, and the kissing and stroking could no longer satisfy their restless hearts. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Haoran picked up Fan Qiusi, and after gently putting it on the bed, he couldn't wait to untie Fan Qiusi's clothes.
"Little master, this is the first time for the slave family, the little young master has to pity the slave family."
Fan Qiusi has heard a lot about this, and even learned a few tricks from those prostitutes, and still has a set of how to tease men.
Although Wang Haoran has not done the joy of fish and water for a long time, because he drank wine just now, it lasted very long, and when he was tired of doing one posture, he changed to another, and he had tried almost all the postures he knew.
A few days later, Wang Haoran held a feast in Wangjialou to entertain the villagers, this is what he promised Fan Qiusi, he can't give Fan Qiusi too grand a wedding, after all, he is just a concubine. Fan Qiusi was also content, and the others took concubines, but they just took people home directly.
Not long after, Wang Qihong sent a letter and brought two carts of cotton. Wang Qihong's development in Gaochang did not go smoothly, firstly, because the price of rice could not be lowered, and few people were willing to plant cotton for rice; Second, because of habits, the staple food of Gaochang people is not rice, and eating rice is only an occasional pastime. However, Wang Haoran also took these problems into account, as long as the miscellaneous rice comes out, the price of rice will definitely come down. As for the issue of eating habits, don't worry too much, in ancient times, it would be good to be able to fill your stomach, and I believe that few people would rather go hungry and not change their eating habits.
Wang Haoran wrote to Wang Qihong to slowly open up the market and accumulate contacts, and he himself began to use these two cars of cotton to develop spinning wheels and processing technology.
Soon it was the rice harvest season, Xu Xuan'an did a good job of pacifying, and those farmers who failed to harvest did not make any trouble, waiting for Xu Xuan'an to record the harvest of each family and make up for the grain that was not harvested one by one. Another thing that reassures the people is that Wang Haoran's large area of rice seed production is as high as three stones, according to the previous experiments, if these rice seeds are produced, the harvest must be more than two stones.
The spinning wheel was also simple, Wang Haoran made it in less than a month, and then he built a cotton factory on the side of the factory. This cotton factory is only cleaning and selecting cotton, and the spinning work is sent out, because the cotton sent by Wang Qihong from Gaochang is limited, so it is not worth setting up a spinning factory.
What is very helpless is that although Wang Haoran does not want to buy clothes made of cotton as a luxury luxury, his original intention is just to let the people wear comfortable clothes, but once the cost is calculated, the price of a set of cotton clothes is not low, and the shipping cost alone accounts for half, and ordinary farmers cannot afford it. However, this did not affect Wang Haoran's interest, before the cotton clothes were on the market, he first ordered two sets of clothes for each of the people here, and sent some to Wang Furen and Xie Shengxing.
After many improvements, Chen Jun's steam power head was finally successful, and after some celebration, Wang Haoran asked them to start developing a steam-powered rail car, which was later called a train.
At this time, the project of the villa area also began to be built, and manpower was not a problem, because the construction of Midtown had reached an advanced stage, slowing down the construction progress and freeing up a lot of manpower.
In addition, Wang Haoran also had a big plan to implement, he called Wang Jingxiu, Ma Jingluo, Yu Zhaoyun, and Yu Zizhao over and said: "I have a difficult task to hand over to you, and you need to go out for business for a long time. ”
"What task?" Yu Zhaoyun hurriedly asked, hoping that the little young master would ask them to study the aircraft.
"I plan to build a railway track between Zhongcheng and Chang'an and Luozhou."
"Huh!?" Wang Haoran said it easily, but Wang Jingxiu and the others were still shocked.
"Aren't rail cars used between the villa and Midtown?" Yu Zhaojun asked.
"It's only a short distance away, and the steam-powered car is slow to start and not flexible enough, so it's not suitable, and it's just a railcar that needs to be stepped on by man." Wang Haoran explained, "You first go there to study the installation process of the track, and the two tracks are slightly oblique back and forth, saving manpower, and the two tracks should be connected at the end of the head." After this study is completed, you will go and investigate how to arrange the route from Zhongcheng to Chang'an, and the route from Zhongcheng to Luozhou, and wait to see the situation later. ”
"Can this be done?" Wang Jingxiu asked, that's a big project, even if Wang Haoran has money, he can't do it if he invests his whole family in it!
"Of course, I didn't do it myself, when you investigate and design a plan, I will find investors in Puzhou and Chang'an."
Wang Jingxiu and they were excited, if this thing is done, it may only take four hours from Zhongcheng to Chang'an or Luozhou, and more importantly, this can be described as an epoch-making new creation, and the impact on the future of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be far-reaching. And they are the pioneers of this new era, and I feel my blood boiling when I think about it.
"You said that the track from Midtown to the villa area should be a little sloping, so how much should it be inclined? Will the track from Zhongcheng to Chang'an be the same? If this is the case, I am afraid that such a long distance will be difficult to do. Wang Jingxiu asked, he couldn't wait to inspect the track route, and he was full of longing for the future train.
"It's just that the track from Midtown to the villa area is slightly sloping, and nothing else is needed. After all, the villa area is driven by manpower, and it can't compare to steam power. ”
"So how do you make sure that the track is always sloping downward? The distance from Midtown to the villa area is not short, right? Yu Zizhao asked.
"Is there a way to solve this?" Wang Haoran asked with a smile.
Since Wang Haoran asked so, it must be related to Ma Jinglue's research. Ma Jing thought for a while, and suddenly many vague solutions appeared in his mind, and replied: "It's not a big problem, I'll design the solution when I go back." ”
"As for the width of the track and the arc of the turn, you have to negotiate with Chen Jun and them, and the distance and structure of the human-powered rail wheels must be well matched with the track." Wang Haoran explained.
A few days later, Chang Shusheng visited, and when he saw Wang Haoran, he laughed and said, "Little master, our people have already found iron ore, and the reserves are really rare!" ”
"That's good, there will be a lot of iron ore in the future." Although Wang Haoran was pleased, he was also calm, which was expected, "Where is the iron mine?" Are there any residents or something? ”
"That's not true, the iron mines are all in the barren mountains and mountains, and it's not too far from here, just within the boundary of Jinju in Hedong Province."
Wang Haoran thought about it, and now there is less than a month before the rice harvest, and he can still come back when he goes to the new iron mine to see if he can come back, so he decided to go to see it the next day, complete the mining procedures, and find people to mine as soon as possible.
