Chapter 381: Peaceful Development (5)

Shi Dingzhong has been busy in Europe, and he really cares very little about domestic affairs, and occasionally communicates with his son Shi Yi to talk about some parents' shortcomings, and basically fades out of politics, so he doesn't know about the Zongshe Party, but he is still very clear about the virtues of these old and young.

"Prime Minister, most of these people are not enough to succeed and fail, so they don't have to worry about it, but now there are still many officials left over from the Qing Dynasty in the political axe, and even some people still hold high positions, which is the biggest hidden danger!"

"What Mr. Shi said is very true, but I have no way, if you want to peacefully unify this country, you have to use such a group of people, but as long as you wait until China's own cadres are mature, you can completely throw them off, Mr. Shi, I will now let Jin Yunpeng take someone to expel Pu Yi from the palace, and I also bother you to go to the Forbidden City to have a look, how to place these cultural relics, and there are always some changes to turn the palace into a museum, and you also formulate a charter, and hand it over to Huang Yuanyong, let him be responsible!"

Shi Dingzhong hurriedly agreed, and after chatting a few more words, Shi Dingzhong said goodbye, and Qiao Yu found Wang Lingji and Huang Yuanyong again, the treatment of the little emperor seems simple, but there are still some troubles, according to the regulations of the preferential treatment of the Qing Emperor agreed at the beginning, after the Qing Emperor moved out of the Forbidden City, he wanted to live in the Summer Palace, and all the gardens in other places belonged to the emperor, and the royal cemetery should also be taken care of by the political axe of the Republic of China, in addition to the four million oceans of funds to provide, in addition, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also had a lot of royal families to support in the Beiyang!

Although after Duan Qirui took power, he gradually stopped four million oceans because of financial problems, and the little emperor could only rely on selling the treasures in the palace to make a living, but these things must be explained, and they can't be so unclear.

"Director Huang, can you see how to deal with the problem of the Qing Emperor?"

"Prime Minister, it is true that the little emperor should also deal with it, I think so, all the royal gardens, land assets are all nationalized, and they have been opened into museums, tourist attractions, etc. for the people to visit, and the silver Republic of China political axe can not come out, otherwise take the people's hard-earned money to raise a group of Manchu royal families, what is this Republic of China, but the little emperor still has some influence, and he can't be driven out and doesn't care about his life and death, so it doesn't work, I think it's better to gather all the people in these royal families together, Carry out vocational skills training, let them have a skill, and then rely on their own skills to eat, and the political axe can be regarded as benevolent and righteous! ”

Qiao Yu listened carefully to Huang Yuanyong's plan, nodded again and again, this plan is not bad, Qiao Yu said again: "This is completely okay, but although the little emperor is nothing, he is still a treasure in the eyes of some countries, and he can be used to make a big fuss, and the Investigation Bureau will also send me people to keep an eye on it, if there is any trouble, report it immediately!" ”

Wang Lingji hurriedly nodded and agreed, after dealing with these things, Qiao Yu invited Zhan Tianyou over, China finally restored peace, and was able to calm down and develop the economy, of course Qiao Yu knew that if you want to get rich and build roads first, only when the traffic is smooth and the infrastructure goes up, can economic development be guaranteed!

Zhan Tianyou was already a little old at this time, his hair was gray and his head was completely bald, and his body was far from being as vigorous as it was at the beginning, especially with big dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot, which was the result of hard work!

"Mr. Dachao, thank you for your hard work, although the construction of the railway is important, but your body is even more important, China's railway transportation industry still points to you!"

"Prime Minister, my body is nothing, in the past few years in the southwest overhaul of the railway, the southwest terrain is complex, the construction is difficult, but the more difficult, the more experienced people, there have been a lot of talents, enough to replace me, even without Zhan Tianyou, there is no loss for China's railway industry!"

In recent years, the speed of railway construction in China has not been slow, especially in the southwest region, the Chengdu-Kunming railway connecting Chengdu and Kunming has been completed, the Guizhou-Chongqing railway from Yucheng to Guiyang has also been completed, the Guizhou-Guizhou railway is about to be opened to traffic, and the railway from Guiyang to Kunming is also about to be completed.

In the northwest Lanxin railway also broke ground, as long as the construction of these railways is completed, it will be able to greatly improve the transportation capacity, so that the central government's control over the frontier is closer, in order to build these railways Zhan Tianyou has paid a lot of effort Qiao Yu has seen in his eyes, from the bottom of his heart Qiao Yu respects this kind of practical person.

"Mr. Dachao, you can't help but look down on yourself too much, you are the father of China's railway construction, if you still don't care for your body so much, I will remove you from your position and let you go home to retire!"

Zhan Tianyou hurriedly shook his hand, "Prime Minister, I will not do anything else in my life except to repair the railway, let me go home might as well kill me, but it won't be busy for long, this time the Ministry of Communications will formulate a national railway development plan, ready to build a vertical and horizontal railway artery, as long as this plan is completed, China's railway will be on the right track, and then I will rest assured that the people below will do it!" ”

"Well, the railway does need to be planned from a national level, I wonder if Mr. Dachao has any ideas?"

"Prime Minister, although China now has a lot of railways, but many railways are built by the powers of various countries, the width of the rails is different, such as the Middle East Road, the Russian-built railways use Russian-made broad gauge, and now China has reclaimed the Outer Northeast, one of the sections of the Siberian Railway is also broad gauge, and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway built by France in the southwest is narrow gauge, and the other railways are standard gauges, that is, the rails we build ourselves are not the same, among which the Sichuan-Han Railway uses narrow gauge, and now the country has been unified. The privileges of the great powers have also been taken back, these rails must first be unified, all become standard regulations, so as to speed up the speed of transportation, otherwise you have to constantly change locomotives for a while, which is time-consuming and laborious, and is not conducive to contact, so the first step in the transformation of the national railway is to unify into standard gauges! ”

Qiao Yu also agreed, now China's railways are indeed as Zhan Tianyou said, Qin Shi Huang knew that the book should be the same text, the car is the same track, but now China's railways are varied, messy, it should indeed be the table, unified into standards and regulations is also with Qiao Yu's mind.

"Mr. Dachao, what are you going to do next?"

"That is to build a new railway, now the southwest railway network has begun to take shape, but the Central Plains is still lacking a lot, only Luhan Railway, Jinpu Railway, etc., and these railways are also due to different standards limited capacity, need to be rectified, the Ministry of Communications plans to build 50,000 kilometers of railway lines in the next ten years, to ensure that all major cities in the central and eastern regions can be connected by the railway network, and the main resource producing areas are also included in the transportation network!

In addition, for the needs of national defense, it is necessary to build a railway connecting Outer Mongolia and Xinjiang Province from the north, so that these border areas will be completely included in the control of the state. ”

Zhan Tianyou thought for a moment, and then said: "The establishment of the railway line is only one aspect, the more important thing is to carry out reasonable management, originally our railways because of the intervention of the great powers are all a period of time, the efficiency is extremely low, and now we must also set up a national railway company, unified management, only good management, can really play the role of the railway!" ”

Zhan Tianyou gave a general introduction to the situation, Qiao Yu also knew that this kind of thing still had to listen to experts, and Qiao Yu was still relieved of Zhan Tianyou's ability.

"Mr. Dachao, the railway is the lifeblood of the country, I don't need to say the important surname, especially the railway in the north must be repaired, bordering such a behemoth as Soviet Russia, the pressure on our national defense is too great, there are no good transportation conditions, the logistics are not good, the army will have to fight with bare hands!"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will definitely focus on taking care of the construction of the Northern Railway!"

"In addition, I want to mention my own opinion, I can hear, Mr. is ready to Yanjing as a railway hub, for this I do not agree, Yanjing is located in the north, water is insufficient, it is difficult to withstand too many industrial enterprises, if Yanjing is positioned as the general railway hub, it will inevitably create a gathering of Chengrenkou and enterprises, once it exceeds the carrying capacity of the city, it will be in big trouble, so I think Yanjing is only suitable for political center, and academic center, as for the economic function will be mainly handed over to Tianjin, Tangshan and other places, In addition, the population of Yanjing should also be strictly controlled, it cannot be too much, although this is the capital, but there is no need to be the leader of any economy, the railway hub may wish to set up a few more cities, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Xuzhou, Tianjin are all available, but Yanjing can not! ”

In later generations, Yanjing has carried too many economic functions, which has seriously exceeded the carrying capacity of the city, causing a lot of trouble, especially environmental pollution, traffic congestion, water shortage, etc.

In addition, Qiao Yu has another consideration, as the capital, there will inevitably be a large number of officials, if Yanjing becomes too developed, it will also exacerbate this trend, officials can also get a kind of satisfaction in the most developed city, and they are more enthusiastic about officialdom in disguise, which is not a good thing, controlling the economic scale of Yanjing is to tell these officials, since you want to have power, you should give up those so-called prosperity and enjoyment, power and money can only choose the same, there is not so much cheapness in the world!

However, the matter of replacing the transportation hub is not a trivial matter, fortunately, there are not many railway lines now, as soon as Zhan Tianyou heard what Qiao Yu said about the carrying capacity of the city, he suddenly thought that the natural conditions in the north are indeed not as good as those in the south, and he really ignored this problem.

"Prime Minister Gao Jian, I will arrange manpower to conduct demonstrations now, change the railway hub to Wuhan and other places, and then readjust the railway plan!"

There are still too many things to do for a country full of holes, Qiao Yu explained the problem of railway construction, and set off to the south, this time to inspect the Qinzhou shipyard, with the help of Germany, the border governor and the Moltke have been repaired, and at the same time, with the help of German drawing technology, the first batch of submarines produced by China has been launched, this is the beginning of the rebirth of the Chinese Navy again, such an important thing, how can Qiao Yu be absent!

This time, Qiao Yu also brought out Lu Wanqing and her son Qiao Luan, because of Lu Nai's matter, Lu Wanqing's mood was not very good, which also made her distracted, and Qiao Luan's child's surname is the most favorite for traveling, especially the father and mother are all by his side, which makes the little guy a little happy, and his laughter is everywhere on the special train!
