Chapter 222: Don't Think About Building a Railway
"This sorghum rice head means that you two are uneducated, understand. Let's talk about it! You haven't seen this train, this is the first time you've seen this thing, it's the first time you've taken it, right, do you know what the benefits of this thing are? Don't fool me, tell me, what the hell is going on? ”
"If you don't say yes, you can just say it, can we fix it?" Hong Jincai raised his fist impatiently and shook it in front of his eyes, with the meaning of falling if he didn't agree with him.
The big fist in the world is the biggest, and I can't afford to mess with it! Gao Hongsheng rubbed his body into the bed, lay on the bed and looked at the carport and said: "Don't say it, forget it, don't say it, don't say it, this railway is difficult for others, but it's much easier for us." The railway is mainly composed of the following parts, first of all, the railway line, which is mainly composed of roadbed, rails and sleepers, and then the locomotive and carriage running on the railway line. How much do I want for this broken thing of the railroad tracks, sleepers! It's easy to solve, we have cement, just use which one to do yourself. The locomotive and carriage are not even the most broken, and even the most broken one I took out is much more advanced than the locomotive and carriage of this train. But the problem is that there is nowhere to build! The Qing Kingdom does not allow you to build railways, so you should give up that thought. ”
After saying this, Gao Hongsheng turned his head and raised his eyelids to look at Feng Laosi, he was the one who could make up his mind.
Building a railway may be a very difficult thing for people in this era, but it is not a matter for Gao Hongsheng.
There are Russian scrap rails in the modern steel market, how many do you want, a ton is only a few thousand dollars, but the quality is better than the best rails of this era, besides, the speed of the train in this era is only 30 kilometers per hour, and the load is not large, just the speed of the turtle to transport so much things, what rails dare not use?
The front of the locomotive and the carriage, that is, the scrapped locomotives in the scrap yard are much stronger than those of this era, you must know that China's current eliminated steam locomotives, diesel locomotives can not find a place to deal with it, Gao Hongsheng pulled a circle to make a dozen locomotives is simply too simple.
Not to mention the carriages of the train, how many green cars will be eliminated, there are more things in China, and they are not better than the broken carriages that do not even have electric lights in this era.
"It's still difficult to build a railway, foreigners can repair it, you let Albert and them repair it!" Isn't that a foreigner, do we have to come out? Sorghum rice head. Feng Laosi finished mockingly, and winked at Gao Hongsheng, which clearly meant who was the head of sorghum rice.
"No, Albert, John, aren't they foreigners? They don't just come out and fix it, and they say that we are sorghum rice heads, I think you are! Hong Jincai immediately followed up and hit Gao Hongsheng.
Gao Hongsheng covered his head with his hand in pain, and said with a wry smile: "It's not so easy for foreigners to build a railway, there are many things here, do you know the mining rights of fifty miles along the railway?" Railway garrison regulations? Building a railway is not as simple as you think, it's too difficult, let's not practice, I'll get you a car, it's a four-wheeled car that can run on the highway, it's faster and more comfortable than a train, you sleep overnight to Jinan, we use the car in four hours to get to Jinan, and let you lie down, okay. ”
It was too difficult to build a railway in the late Qing Dynasty, and Germany built a Jinan-Qingdao railway, but even the cannon was used. But if you don't use it, how can you solve those nail households, those landlords and old money are not good at stubble, they are all cunning and cunning, it is not good that they encourage a group of people to make trouble in the front, and they steal money in the back.
There is not so much trouble in building highways, building bridges and paving roads in ancient times is a great thing to accumulate goodness, generally speaking, no one dares to stop, call for even labor costs are saved, it is very simple to get dozens of cars, the old liberation is good, the old Yellow River is also improvised, it is much simpler than engaging in railways.
"No matter what, we have to repair it, don't ask the reason, anyway, if you don't repair it, you have to repair it, I just want to fight for breath, we must repair a railway, the carriages running on the railway are better than this, you just find a way." Feng Laosi's eyes widened and he said categorically.
"There are so many things like a broken railway, we don't want any mining rights, and we don't want any garrisons, let's build a railway that connects the two places like your highway, Zheng Bo and Qin Yaozu have eaten a lot of us these days, and this promotion is also a credit we gave them, let them help, isn't it just spending money! I still don't believe that I can't buy through the officials up and down the Shandong Mansion, let's repair it at the boundary of Shandong, just repair the section from Laiwu to Jinan, as long as it's in the Shandong Mansion, I don't believe that I can't buy it, it's really not good, isn't there still foreigners? If you let that foreign devil Albert come out and do it together, I still don't believe it. Like the second brother, you have to cultivate if you don't cultivate, and if you don't cultivate, you have to cultivate, so you can find a way. Hong Jincai lay next to Gao Hongsheng and stabbed Gao Hongsheng with his hand and said.
"Just talking about building railways, do you know how much money it costs to build railways? I'm not afraid to scare you, even if the income from our trip is not enough, can you still fix it? Gao Hongsheng looked as if he couldn't stop it, and hurriedly threw out the problem of funds to dispel their thoughts.
"How much, you name the number, it's really not good, we don't want both of us on this trip to Europe, do you think it's enough?" Feng Laosi said with a little weakness.
"It's not enough, I don't make enough money from this trip to Europe, at least three or four trips are about the same, but what about that road? It's a question of whether you two have enough money to build that road this time, and I wonder if I can still make up some of it, and now I want to build the railway, so there is so much money? ”
In fact, building a railway of two or three hundred kilometers is really not much, there are very few mountains in Shandong, basically belong to the hilly area, the terrain is okay, compared with the Northeast Great Plains, the mountains are a little more, but they are not high, there are very few mountains of thousands of meters, most of them are hundreds of meters of mountains.
At the same time, if you really do it, it is not too difficult, there are not many others in this era, there are the most people who can't eat enough, and it is impossible to move mountains and reclaim the sea, but opening mountains and building roads without external calls is explosives to open roads combined with crowd tactics......
Things that seem to be very difficult in the future are not difficult in front of the sea of people, but the cost is indispensable.
Gao Hongsheng originally built the simple road, in fact, it was built more than ten miles away from the Yellow River embankment, one is higher than the Yellow River embankment, in the future in case the embankment bursts, this road can be used as a levee, and the second is relatively close to the Yellow River, and it is too convenient to transport grain, sand and gravel during construction.
In terms of management, Gao Hongsheng adopted a seemingly chaotic way, each section of the highway was directly contracted to the nearby landlords and old money, but they were only the contractor and not responsible for the construction, and the specific construction was carried out by the small minions sent by Gao Hongsheng to lead the manpower provided by the landlords and old money.
The landlord is responsible for the logistics supply of the whole construction, what is the three-layer soil for the roadbed, the sand and gravel for slope protection, the straw and wheat straw mixed in the soil to increase the firmness, the reed straw mat for building the shed, the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, etc. are all supplied by the local landlord Laocai.
The landlords are responsible for the supply of land, raw materials and construction personnel, so that the landlords and the old fortunes will have money to make, and there is no need for Gao Hongsheng to worry about them at all.
Who are the people who can obstruct the construction, the poor peasants? Don't dare to give them a dare! It was all those landlords and old money who wanted to make a profit and encouraged everyone to make trouble, and they hid behind to make a profit.
If you obstruct the construction, there will be no money for the supply of raw materials, the land is only worth a few dollars, the sand and gravel and earthwork for building the embankment are the big heads, even those firewood, rice, oil and salt can make you earn death, no fool will use the land to obstruct the construction, isn't that blocking his own financial road!
The small minions are responsible for the construction, which has the advantage of avoiding the contractor's exploitation of the construction personnel, and the quality of the project is also guaranteed.
Since the minions are responsible for the construction, of course, the hired workers are under their control, and they have the final say on the salary, otherwise how to manage, the wages and everything are posted at a clear price and directly distributed to the heads, so that it is difficult for the landlords and old money to take a head or something.
The money in the hands of the poor sticks, if you want to pull it out, it's going to be a dead man, it's good not to work hard with you, it is estimated that you can collect some benefits when you start, and make a favor or something, but can you really wipe off that face from the villagers?
At the same time, the quality of raw materials is directly linked to the quality of the project, and if the acceptance is unqualified, it is not as simple as a fine.
First of all, Gao Hongsheng and they have to investigate their subordinates to collect confiscated benefits, if the benefits are confiscated, it's okay to say, just find a reason to rework, but if you receive benefits, then you can directly dig a big pit and bury them alive, bandits don't have so many rules, they left after receiving benefits today, and they can collect benefits tomorrow and betray them, Gao Hongsheng Do they tolerate this kind of person?
For people who give benefits to their subordinates, it's not bad if they don't raid their homes and behead all over the house, Gao Hongsheng They are bandits, and they can't find a reason to rob their homes, and there is a reason why they can still bypass those black-hearted ghosts?
In terms of project quality, Gao Hongsheng directly invited those people who were a little more famous in the nearby villages to be acceptance and construction quality inspectors, and these people had the advantage of being acceptance and inspectors that they were not easy to be bought, and they were all villagers who didn't know who!
There is also the fact that he is too bad, and he asks people to erect a big stone monument for each section of the road contracted, and the stone tablet is engraved with the words from where to where the villages are contracted to build, who the contractor is, who is the one who is the construction, and who is the one who accepts the inspection.
If there is something wrong with the quality, it is obvious, and when the time comes, who will not know when the people who take this road see it!
If you don't repair it well, it will be a person who will lose a few lifetimes, and when you go out and meet people from other villages in the future, you won't be able to raise your head, and you can't afford to lose people!
He knew that he had started to repair it from Jinan Mansion, but now he didn't know where it was repaired, and how many people were used and how many villages were involved in building roads, he didn't have the heart to care about it at all, and handed it over to him after telling him the method.
To put it bluntly, Gao Hongsheng paid for a long-term large-scale construction project, and then handed over the project to the families of those small bandits.
It's not impossible to send money directly, but you can't always pay money for nothing, so if you don't do anything, you will have money, so who will work? Isn't that a **, do these people have that ** spirit?
Gao Hongsheng is really not afraid of repairing the railway, his road is well repaired, at least from Yingjia Mountain to Jinan Mansion and then to Licheng, it has been repaired, and the construction of the railway is just a high-tech point, spending more money, but can't you invite someone? Now that he's in Europe, he's afraid he won't be able to find an engineer who can build a railway?
But Gao Hongsheng didn't come here to do business, he came to make money, okay, all the money he earned was spent, he went crazy to contribute! The purpose of building the highway is to benefit his subordinates, and to pay money in disguise to buy people's hearts, so that his subordinates over there will follow him with all his heart, so as to protect himself wholeheartedly.
Just like now, why did Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai follow him abroad, isn't he now the God of Wealth of thousands of brothers in the entire Yingjia Mountain? Afraid that he would make a mistake, they returned to the old days when there was a meal and no meal.
Gao Hongsheng directly raised the cost of building the railway, mentioning that they couldn't accept it, so as to completely stop their mind of building the railway.
