86_86612The sound of "clang, clang, clang......" echoed in the shaking carriage, the not spacious carriage is simple, the wooden carriage still smells of paint, the windows of this carriage are not even equipped with glass windows, the passengers in the carriage sit on simple wooden chairs, most of the passengers are curious to look outside the car, accompanied by the sound of the train "clang, clang", rushed to Incheon. The carriage at the rear of the train is a mixed load of passengers and goods, except for a few wooden chairs along the sides of the carriage for people, it is like a freight car with open windows, in addition to sitting people, it is also responsible for transporting goods, what kind of local products and the like are not unusual, exaggerated is that it also pulls livestock, and even in this carriage, there is an old buffalo.

However, there are only a few of these simple carriages, and there are six of the thirteen carriages, and in addition to the two and two freight carriages occupied by the locomotive and the coal car, the remaining three carriages are still shabby, but at least they have glass windows, so that the passengers on the carriage do not have to endure the suffering of the wind blowing like the passengers of those carriages, but correspondingly, The fare here is naturally higher, so compared to the crowding of the rear carriage, there are not many passengers in these three carriages, and even in the third-class carriage, there are only a few dozen passengers, and in the first-class carriage with soft seats and charcoal stoves, there are only a dozen passengers.

It's not a train! It's a car!

Whenever the bumpy feeling of the train comes, Tang Haoran will always have such a thought in his heart, the reason why the train is bumpy is because the length of the rails in this era is limited, each track is less than 2 meters long, and too many connecting surfaces make the train always have a slight bumpy feeling when driving.

And if it is said by the standards of the afterlife. The Inhan Railway is not a "standard railway". In order to save costs. The Renhan Railway borrowed from the construction standards of military light railways, making its standards slightly inferior to those of operating railways, thus speeding up construction, but unlike ordinary hand-pressed military light railways, its subgrade standards were built according to the standard gauge, while the rails laid were 20-pound light rail, and the gauge was also narrower meter gauge. And this series of measures to ensure that the railway was built in the fastest time and at the least cost - only 524,000 yuan was spent to build the 35.4-kilometer Renhan railway. Thus connecting Incheon and Seoul into one.

"The railway between Seoul and Pyongyang is 260 kilometers, with a total of 36 railway stations along the way, including station lines and road lines under construction, with a total length of 326 kilometers, and the total investment is expected to be 6.97 million yuan, of which 470,000 yuan is ...... for the reconstruction cost of the Inhan-Han railway."

In the carriage, which seemed a little bumpy, Zhan Tianyou, director of the Railway Department of the General Supervision Office, explained to Tang Haoran the investment in the "Hanping Railway", compared with the Renhan Line, which is full of "experimental nature", the Hanping Line is a real railway, which is different from the Renhan Line using narrow gauges. Because it carries the task of coal export in winter, it adopts quasi-gauge railway. The corresponding Renhan line also needs to be improved.

"What about the equipment on the Renhan line now?"

Staring at the planned railway line on the map, Tang Haoran asked rhetorically, according to the original experimental and emergency nature of the Renhan Railway and the Hanping line, the track and carriages will be transferred for other purposes, maybe the track can be moved to the "horse-drawn rail bus" of the Special Economic Zone, but where will the locomotives and carriages be used? Although those carriages were made of simple carriages because of the simplicity of the machine, it was always an investment.

"Move to the mines!"

Zhan Tianyou replied without thinking.

"Mines also need trains, for example, light railways in coal mines for coal mining, and miners need transportation to get from their settlements to their work areas."

"Well, how is the conscription now? How soon can a railroad be completed if labor is used? ”

The Korean peasants of this era needed to bear a heavy burden of unpaid labor, and according to the original plan of the government to levy Korean labor, but in the end it was still impossible to ignore these "free laborers", so it was decided to hand over 60,000 labor to the eight provinces of Korea.

However, compared with the unpaid requisitioned laborers of the Korean government, the laborers recruited by the unified supervision office do not need to bring their own rice and grain, and they are paid 20 copper yuan a day, although they are given some wages and take care of food, but compared with domestic laborers, they are the cheapest laborers, as for the language inconvenience, there is no problem, and the documents under the various provinces stipulate that there must be a literate scholar for every fifty people, who may not be like the readers of Huayang Academy, who can speak fluently in "Hongwu Zhengyun" It is pronounced as the standard official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, but at least it can be written, thanks to the influence of the Chinese civilization circle for thousands of years, and the single-minded Da Muhua of North Korea, which made Korean scholars learn only Chinese characters.

"My lord, after the Spring Festival, the labor of the four northern provinces has been basically in place, as for the south, my lord, after all, there is still a distance, but with 60,000 labor, the average per kilometer can be put into more than 200 people, if the plain is below, at most one month can complete the construction of the roadbed, and considering the construction of bridges along the way, especially the excavation of caves and the opening of roadbeds along the mountain, it is expected that after 12 months, the roadbed and the excavation of the lineline station, bridge and cave should be basically completed."

For Zhan Tianyou and the entire railway, the Hanping railway is no less than the unprecedented test, and dozens of kilometers of Renhan railway, the total length of 260 kilometers of Hanping railway, divided into 26 sections at the same time two-way construction, although only the first construction of the roadbed, after the completion of the roadbed, before laying the track, although the route has been repeatedly surveyed, and there is the experience of the Renhan railway, but no one knows what problems will be encountered in the construction process.

"Twelve months...... Well, it should be about the same! ”

In history, the Han Iron and Steel Plant took two years and ten months to complete, and after deducting the eight months of filling and padding, it took two years for equipment installation and plant construction, while in contrast, the infrastructure construction period of Incheon Iron and Steel Plant was only 14 months, in addition to eliminating the construction period of filling and raising without flood control, equipment such as iron-making blast furnaces were installed at the site of the quarry, and a small hill was used to build the Renhan Railway Quarrying, and the foundation was far more stable than that of Hanyang Iron Works. But the most important thing is people - as long as enough manpower and equipment are invested, the construction period can be shortened to the greatest extent.

"In 12 months, the steel plant should be operational. Rail, fishtail board road studs. It can also be self-produced. At that time, it should be possible to save another amount of money, and if the funds allow, you can also use the new road mortgage, consider extending the line to the north and south, and then you can levy more labor. ”

After Zhan Tianyou responded, Tang Haoran turned to Gu Hongming again and said,

"This is a matter of labor education. At that time, the Education Department will have to take full responsibility, you know, we are not only to save money, but also have a deeper and longer-term intention, you can contact Huayangdong Academy, let them send scholars, educate laborers to read, especially to teach them to speak Chinese! ”

Although he had no intention of educating the North Korean people, out of the consideration of consolidating North Korea's pro-China, Tang Haoran had no choice but to educate the North Korean people. And this education must first make them literate. In particular, it is necessary to make him learn Chinese, as for literacy, the so-called "Hangul" is also the so-called "Xunmin Zhengyin" ordered by King Sejong to be created and used exclusively for the common people, which is the so-called Hangul in later generations, and the current "Hangul" is of course not in his consideration.

Even Tang Haoran doubted that if the "Hangul" was promoted, the Koreans themselves would strongly oppose it, after all, as soon as the "Hanwen" was promulgated in history, it was strongly opposed by the Korean scholars, in the eyes of the Korean scholars, Chinese characters are not only the most elegant writing in the world, but also the most commonly used writing in the world, and the words created by other surrounding ethnic groups are all worthless Yidi last techniques, and the Korean nation admires and follows the Han culture, and should completely use Chinese characters, rather than create their own writing, If you create your own writing, it is tantamount to deviating from the excellent Han culture and willingly degrading into Yidi. He degraded his words as "mantis no pills" and praised Chinese characters as "Suhe no incense".

And the later Yansanjun, who was recognized as a tyrant in the history of Korea, went to the extreme. Because it was said that his brutal and bloody edict was written in the Korean script, he ordered that the teaching of the Korean script be banned, and that all books written and translated in the Korean script should be burned and severely punished for using the Korean script and for not reporting it.

In the following hundreds of years, Xunmin Zhengyin still did not become popular, whether it was the Joseon royal family, scholars or scholars were very despised, the articles written with Xunmin Zhengyin were not elegant, everyone was still proud of being able to write Chinese characters, thinking that Chinese language was to spend a lifetime of energy to learn well, it was true learning, and it was called "Zhenwen", as for the common people to use the so-called "proverbs", it was too simple, it was a lowly text, and even ridiculed it as "Ben Suowen", that is, something that could be learned only when going to the toilet, Naturally, it is dismissive.

Thanks to this, although the pronunciation of Chinese characters of ordinary Korean literate people is different from that of Chinese people, but the meaning of the words is the same as that of China, and it is completely possible to communicate in the way of guò pen talk, and there will be no inconvenience, but this is not enough, for Tang Haoran, who wants to take back the old Chinese in Korea, he also needs Koreans to learn Chinese, and Tong guò long-term labor, teaching his Chinese and Chinese characters, is part of this plan, the upper class has the heart of Muhua, naturally there is no need to influence, but the lower class still needs some interests to guide.

"Yes, my lord, however, those Korean scholars always insist on the pronunciation of "Hongwu Zhengyun" and "Rhyme Slightly Yitong" as the pronunciation,"

Recently, because of the pinyin incident, Gu Hongming has dealt with those North Korean scholars a lot, and he also deeply understands the conservatism of North Korean scholars.

"My lord, although it is explained that the official dialect is also Chinese, its pronunciation is always different from the current Beijing official dialect, whether this is the current official pronunciation, or "Hongwu Zhengyun" and "Rhyme is slightly easy", has not yet been decided. My lord, how do you think this is going to be? ”

(Language is a very delicate thing, especially in a country like China, Emperor Hongwu set the "Hongwu Zhengyun" to restore the Central Plains Yayin, sweeping away the style of Diyi, although it was not successful, but it also established the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, and the "Yan Xingji" written by a Korean official also has a heart-wrenching sentimentality about the absence of Chinese music.) ps； It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass!
