In the spring of March, the Sichuan Plain was a busy scene, according to the financial plan, Qiao Yu increased the support for agriculture, all parts of Sichuan are stepping up the repair of canals, the establishment of irrigation systems, the people of Sichuan are more and more rushed, it is foreseeable that the future of Sichuan's agriculture can also develop rapidly, coupled with the increase in rent and interest reduction, the people's enthusiasm for farming is also increasing, it is foreseeable that Sichuan will usher in a bumper harvest year.

Although it is not autumn, Qiao Yu has felt the joy of the harvest in advance, Yucheng Iron and Steel Plant has manufactured in addition to the first rail, which is fully qualified after inspection, steel is the bone of industry, is the backbone of industry, no matter how much attention is paid to it, the steel plant has produced products for Sichuan up and down is a good thing, first of all, the roadbed of the Chengdu-Chongqing section of the Sichuan-Han Railway has been laid for most of it, and now it can produce rails, just to be able to supply the Sichuan-Han Railway, and Qiao Yu wants to increase the help of agriculture, farm tools are very important, How can you produce agricultural tools without steel?

Sichuan is busy, Qiao Yu also left from Chengdu, directly inspected the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, Qiao Yu is very clear about the benefits of connecting the two largest cities in Sichuan, so he is very much looking forward to the Sichuan-Han Railway can be opened to traffic as soon as possible.

"Mr. Dachao has worked hard for you!" Zhan Tianyou was directing the workers to lay the railway, Zhan Tianyou at this time was even thinner than a year ago, his hair was messy, and his body was still stained with muddy water, and he was also very excited when he saw Qiao Yu Zhan Tianyou.

"The speed of construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway is very fast, as long as the Yucheng Iron and Steel Company can provide enough rails, the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway will be completed in more than a year, and Sichuan will have a railway!"

Zhan Tianyou gave the deadline, Qiao Yu was naturally happy in his heart: "Mr. Da Chao, the railway is like the blood vessels in the human body, people can only be healthy if the blood is smooth, and the society can only prosper if the economy and trade circulation are unblocked, Sichuan has been difficult to travel since ancient times, just like the blood is not smooth, only by repairing the railway, Sichuan can make Sichuan prosperous, Sichuan can build the railway all depends on Mr., I thank Mr. on behalf of the people of Sichuan!" ”

"The patrol envoy is too polite, this is my duty, God bless me without asking for anything else, it is already Lao Huai's comfort to be able to build a few railways!"

"Mr. Dachao, the section of Chengdu-Chongqing is relatively easy, but Yucheng to Wanxian, Wanxian to Yichang is not easy to build, the construction is very difficult, when does Mr. think it will be completed?"

Zhan Tianyou lowered his head slightly and calculated: "Qiao Shuai, it will take at least four years for the Sichuan-Han Railway to be completed in its entirety, and it must also ensure that there are sufficient funds and personnel, otherwise there is absolutely no way to open to traffic!" ”

Although Qiao Yu is very much looking forward to the rapid opening of the railway, he also knows that some things are urgent, as a traverser, he can make China take fewer detours, and let China seize the opportunity to the greatest extent, but he can't walk for this country, from an agricultural country to an industrial country, there must be this kind of accumulation process, which can not be completed casually!

"Mr. Dachao, I once told you that I would build the Kunming Railway to connect Sichuan and Yunnan, I don't know if you have any impression?"

When Zhan Tianyou heard the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, his brows furrowed very much: "Patrol envoy, if this railway can be built, it will naturally be a good thing, not only can the two provinces be connected together, but also can allow Sichuan's goods to be directly transported overseas through Yunnan, and can also stabilize the southwest frontier, there are too many benefits, but the difficulty of the construction of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway is only afraid that it is still on the Sichuan-Han Railway, I am afraid that it will not be able to be built successfully in ten years, and now it is difficult to say whether Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, can support it as much as you!" ”

Qiao Yu knew in his heart that Zhan Tianyou's worries were completely justified, after Tang Jiyao succeeded as the governor of Yunnan, the situation of the Yunnan army became more and more difficult, because he could not get the support of Sichuan, it was more difficult for Yunnan to maintain the expenditure of tens of thousands of soldiers, and now Yunnan still has two dependents, one is most of Guizhou, and the other is that Yunnan has an estimated channel, which is the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

This railway was built by the French, connecting Yunnan and Vietnam, becoming an important international passage in Yunnan, if the Chengdu-Kunming railway can be built, there is no doubt that Sichuan can also take advantage of the convenience of this railway, with direct contact with foreign countries, Sichuan's commodity specialties can be transported to French Indochina.

This is a great good thing for Sichuan, but it is not necessarily a good thing for the Yunnan army, since the continuous outbreak of conflicts between Sichuan and Yunnan, the Yunnan army regards the Sichuan army as the biggest opponent, will they be willing to share the railway with Sichuan!

"Mr. Dachao, you will be in charge of repairing the railway, and I will leave the rest to me, and I will let Tang Jiyao nod!"

Qiao Yu said this with confidence, indeed the cards in Qiao Yu's hand are much stronger than Tang Jiyao, after talking with Zhan Tianyou, Qiao Yu continued to inspect the construction of the railway accompanied by his entourage, in addition to the workers on the railway line, there are also a considerable number of migrant workers, these people rely on their shoulders to push, and they are forced to build the roadbed quickly, most of these migrant workers are voluntary workers, and even some people even bring their own food, and the political axe provides a bowl of hot dishes with some meat.

Now the weather is far from hot, but many workers have stripped off their shirts, revealing their dark and shiny muscles and craggy skinny bones, sweat continues to flow down, baskets of sand and soil have been transported, Qiao Yu has more and more confidence in his heart when he sees this scene.

As long as the positive surname of the people can be mobilized, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished, and it is ridiculous that the Manchu Qing Dynasty and even the later political axes of the Republic of China regard the people as a flood beast, blindly foolish people, self-isolation from the people, and will inevitably be abandoned by the people.

When Qiao Yu was inspecting, suddenly an old migrant worker in front of him jumped on his shoulder and slipped under his feet and was about to fall, Qiao Yu hurriedly asked the guards to help him up, this old man saw Qiao Yu hugging him in front of him, he knew that this was a big man, and he was a little overwhelmed.

"Sir, let's take a break first and talk to me!"

The old man didn't expect such a big official to speak so kindly, those officials in the former Qing Dynasty were all high, even after entering the Republic of China, although the official style was much better, but many officials still shouted five and drank six, who would call himself old man, the old man didn't know what to say, but he couldn't stop saying that he didn't dare.

Qiao Yu asked his entourage to pour a bowl of tea for the old man and handed it to the old man: "Let's drink a bowl of water first!" ”

After drinking a bowl of tea, the old man seemed less nervous, Qiao Yu and he sat on the stone on the side of the road at this time, there was no dislike at all, the old man relaxed a lot, "Your tea is so good, it's really fragrant!" ”

"Hehe, I'll give you a pack in a moment!"

"I can't help it, I can't help it, you're killing the little old man!"

"You're welcome, how long have you been working on the construction site, and how do you get paid?"

"Since last year, as long as we have time to spare time, we will come to several villages around us, we don't have any wages, this railway is repaired, we can sell the things in our hands at a good price, and the fruit will not rot on the tree, as long as I can exchange a few more money, I am ready to send my grandson to school, let him read some books, don't be like me can't read big words, old man, I have always heard over the years that we are bullied by foreigners with red hair and green eyes, if the children can read and write and increase their ability, they don't have to be angry, Isn't life just a face, how can I ask for wages! ”

Don't be angry! Qiao Yu suddenly discovered one of the most moving things in the Chinese at this moment, no need to ask why, every Chinese has a dream of a great country deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and the long inheritance determines that the Chinese will never be resigned to others! Even if the decline is extreme, the Chinese can still stand up.
