Zhan Tianyou, almost completely pounced on the railway construction site, Baotou's influence, has already radiated out from the original 200 kilometers, from the surrounding villages, the land through guò, basically, there is no obstruction, not to mention the Baotou Chamber of Commerce as the core, a large number of landlords and Jin businessmen in the network, even if it is an ordinary homesteaders, with the good reputation of the current reclamation company, any land is acquired with the highest standards.

In this era, the land is only the value of planting, even if an acre of land is more than 100 silver dollars, but there is no additional real estate value, in terms of the huge cost of the railway, even if it occupies about 30 meters of space on both sides of the road, the overall purchase price is not high, not to mention, most of the railway runs in a sparsely populated place, or simply a barren slope saline-alkali land, as far as the current 4500 kilometers of railway is concerned, the cost of acquiring land is extremely low, not to mention allowing shareholders to increase income, even if it is just a dividend of some enterprises, It is enough to bear this qiē, and this money is also the first batch to be paid.

The huge mechanized corps, when it is fully opened, the power that erupts is amazing, the tractor, is no longer before, just with Yang Yuanzhao alone to get the guy, even the engine, from the original BMW 999 engine, converted into a more stable, more durable diesel engine, regardless of the size, the high-horsepower diesel engine, enough to provide strong power for the tractor, and some changes in the transmission and small equipment, Let this tractor in the case of rising power, the efficiency of use has also increased significantly, the tractor from the universal to professional, bulldozer and simple excavator, than the previous universal tractor performance has risen several times, the work efficiency is also extremely high.

Zhan Tianyou never thought that the railway, as simple as it is now, began to be laid on the first day, setting a construction speed of 800 kilometers, and the railway in Baotou has been running forward quickly and firmly since the first day.

However, Yang Yuanzhao found that about the 800 kilometers of railway tasks, not because the first day of the completion of 800 kilometers, but the task, not a little bit of completion, when the second day and completed 850 kilometers, the cumulative total mileage of 1650 kilometers, still so, he somewhat understood, must be part of the railway or the whole line, in order to complete this task, conservative estimates, the fastest Baotou to Zhangjiakou railway, is expected to be completed in a month, because of the common relationship of 30 construction teams, Coupled with the construction of some bridges, Zhan Tianyou finally took the design, which was actually designed by Yang Yuanzhao before, and the three lines were repaired together, otherwise, the bid section of more than 300 kilometers could not be divided into 30 sections, and the target of a 10-kilometer section could not give full play to the power of the mechanized team, and the final grouping was to take 60 kilometers as one, and it was all at once repaired by three branch lines, back and forth, and the efficiency was higher.

The fastest to complete the task, to 1 month later, this than before, often a few months, or even a year or two to be able to complete the task, I don't know how much faster, of course, to achieve the upgrade, you need to pay more, 20 years faster, less than a month of time, equal to less than 0.4 completion, such a degree of completion, to 1000 points or more to be able to complete, if a task is often a few years, then really don't have to live.

The railway matter was handed over to Zhan Tianyou, Yang Yuanzhao put it aside, in addition to a certain time, he would also contact him, the main thing is to inquire about the progress, he will no longer care, professional things, just hand over to professional personnel, Zhan Tianyou has used more than ten years of railway construction to prove his strength, this point, Yang Yuanzhao is very assured.

It's almost January, and the Lunar New Year is coming, and compared to Western festivals such as Christmas and New Year's Day, traditional Chinese festivals are more likely to be lively.

Baotou now, it can be unceremoniously said, is a big city, from Yang Yuanzhao arrived in Baotou, the development of Baotou is gradually growing at a rapid pace, from the beginning of the construction of cement factories last year, the number of workers in Baotou is also increasing, the initial increase, is the farmers around Baotou turned into urban residents, in September last year, reached the peak, that is to say, the potential around Baotou has been tapped cleanly, engineering companies, reclamation companies, two major beasts, devoured more than 200,000 workers, with a variety of family members, The number of people in Baotou has reached a staggering 500,000.

However, the development of Baotou is destined to exceed the speed of this era, and every step of the development is leapfrogging, the commissioning of factories, cotton textile mills, related enterprises, machine manufacturing plants, and many supporting projects, which together form a joint force, Baotou fixed population and floating population, more and more. From the original city of about 500,000, gradually increasing the number of 20,000 people per month, slowly growing, and finally the fixed population and floating population combined, reaching nearly 700,000 Cheng dù, this number jù, is already very amazing, but more surprising is still to come, in October, Baotou in Wuhan industry fair, set off a sensation, with the gradual establishment of a variety of machine factories, personnel began to increase violently,

In October, it increased by 50,000 people, and in November, it was a terrible increase of 90,000 people, so that the population began to grow to 900,000 people, 900,000 people, in this world, it is inevitable to be a big city, this world, at the beginning of the 20th century, a large city of millions of people has been called a huge city, in the northwest border, inconspicuous, it has become a large city, no one doubts, the total population of Baotou will not be too long.

The city is big, of course, problems have arisen in all aspects, especially the problems of the city itself, the Chamber of Commerce is located, every staff member of the Chamber of Commerce is busy, such a thing has lasted for more than a month, most of the personnel, at least more than 40 days have not rested, things are still many, Liu Shu at this time, has been unable to deal with the problem of the Chamber of Commerce normally, but the problem of the city itself, so he can't hide it, either there is a problem in the east, or there is a problem in the west.

As a last resort, Liu Shu found Yang Yuanzhao and said: "Can't be like this, 3 of the 7 clerks under my command are sick now, the winter in Baotou is cold, God knows, in a few days, there will be a few more who will fall ill, do you want to think of a way?" ”

"What the hell is going on!"

During this period of time, Yang Yuanzhao spent most of his energy on the railway project, and the new personnel, coupled with the continuous construction of the railway itself, Baotou absorbed a large number of laborers, so that these laborers could really play their role and really contribute to the construction of Baotou, which required his efforts and the joint efforts of all people.

At this time, Harpy has been running all over the world, Yang Yuanzhao has an idea in the east, an idea in the west, the development of Southeast Asia, and when it is far from being completed, he has made another cotton, from the United States, Brazil, and even South American countries, Harpy's footsteps have almost traveled all over the world, six of the seven continents, all have his footsteps, even black Africa is no exception.

It is this kind of running that allowed him not only to sign about 300,000 tons of cotton spot futures, but also to get more than 400,000 tons, exceeding the task, as for talent recruitment, Harpy showed his ability, German and American foreign companies with strong funds, the focus of recruitment, put in many ordinary countries, such as Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Norway and other small European countries, of course, did not miss South American countries.

Among the three South American powers, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, these three countries not only have a certain industrial base, but even Argentina and Chile also have a large navy, especially Chile, a narrow territory, but developed a huge navy, and even in 1894, the Chilean navy even sold their warships to the Beiyang Naval Division.

The past has passed, history is no if, in the United States and other industrial powers, industrial workers abound, but to let them leave their homeland, it is really not easy, but in small countries, this is very easy, their engineers, themselves are mobile and drifting, as long as they give money, they will come over immediately, level, compared to the engineers of large countries are a little worse, but Baotou needs the most.

Therefore, since the arrival of the first batch of foreigners, the number of foreigners has also increased, and in Baotou, several relatively fixed foreigner settlements have been fixed.

After listening to Liu Shu's narration, Yang Yuanzhao knew what happened, in fact, it was very normal in later generations, the rapid expansion of the city due to abnormal reasons, there were a series of problems, foreigner areas, foreigners have a higher status in China, plus these are fragrant and sweet, the factory attaches more importance to it, the problem is relatively small, and their own habits are more suitable for living in the city, there are problems, but they are some small problems.

These workers who were added later, they were just ordinary farmers before, suddenly came to the city, and also brought the kind of casualness and casualness of the countryside here, coupled with the rapid development of the city, in just 20 months, the entire urban area of Baotou has increased by nearly 12 times, in this case, it is no wonder that there are not many problems in Baotou.

Looking at Liu Shu with an anxious face, Yang Yuanzhao smiled and said, "Sit down first, and talk slowly, what are the problems?" ”

"The main problem is that the workers' quarters have become garbage heaps, and there are all kinds of people, and there are already a lot of problems because of the mess." Liu Shu finally had the strength to take a sip of water, and then said it slowly.

Yang Yuanzhao asked in great detail, as a system of the republic from later generations, although there are problems in all aspects, but the management of the city still stumbled over according to experience, and in connection with the current problems, Yang Yuanzhao has a mighty team in his heart, I am afraid that the current situation, only this department of the urban special forces in the new century, can be perfectly solved.
