But Shu Han's idea is obviously not accepted, not to mention in the Black Iron City, even in the Holy Alliance and Guangyuan Kingdom, because interest groups have been formed, and the greed of capital has no bottom line, these Skywalkers naturally hope to be able to annex other forces, so as to make their capital even larger, how can they accept a peaceful merger.

This point, even Shu Han, who has no political experience, understands it, so he has almost never told anyone else about this idea in his heart, and he still looks like he supports the decision of Liu Sanyi and others, but deep down in his heart, he is not satisfied with such an arrangement, for Liu Sanyi and others, the Holy Alliance and Guangyuan Kingdom are outsiders, and they are villains who plot against each other, but for Shu Han, everyone is their own people, and they are people who should help each other in the last days, why should the three parties finally face the war, This is unnecessary.

However, this kind of naïve remarks obviously appear very false in today's reality, so Shu Han has never said that there is barely such a year and a half of peace between the three parties, which is already a very rare thing for Shu Han.

The only thing Shu Han can do at this time is to guard the rear for these Skywalkers to ensure that there will be no problems with their logistics, and at the same time to seize the time to open up the railway artery between Joaquin City and Black Iron City, this railway started construction last autumn, and it has been half a year now, but the progress has not been fast, because the environment is too harsh, the railway construction plan chosen by geological experts and engineers is itself to find a relatively flat place in the mountains, but it is only relative, The gentle slopes had to be flattened and the valleys had to be filled in before the railroad could be laid, and most of the sections had to be rebuilt, which took a lot of time and manpower.

At the same time, this road is completely built in the deep mountains, there is not much place for workers to settle, these workers live very hard, often only able to build a tent around the construction site to live, the food is also very rough, are some dry food, etc., unlike modern workers, at least there is a simple model house to live, there will be a TV, air conditioning, etc., the meal is always hot, at least there is still a box lunch, but in this era, these things are not there, After a hard day's work, it was difficult for the workers to even take a shower.

At the same time, they must also beware of the surrounding beasts will attack their camp at any time, you can imagine how hard it is, and because of this, the work efficiency of the workers is always not high, after all, the material is too frequent, and the Black Iron City itself has no spiritual encouragement, these people who come to build the railway, all of them are coolies, most of them are the descendants and related people of those rebels in the foothills and the city, and they themselves have an aversion to the regime of the Black Iron City, and now they are treated like slaves, It is obviously impossible to count on any enthusiasm from them.

At the same time, the supervisors treat them very cruelly, as long as the goal within the construction period is not reached, it is either beaten or scolded, many workers themselves are very poor in material conditions, but also to be beaten and scolded, enthusiasm is naturally not the slightest, at the same time the external environment and construction conditions are very poor, so half a year has passed, the whole railway has only been built more than a dozen kilometers, the distance is completely open to traffic, I am afraid that there is no seven or eight years of time can not be done.

This speed is obviously not good, according to the current rhythm between the three parties, I am afraid that in three or five years, after all, one party will not be able to resist and start a war against the other side, and at that time, if the Black Iron City and Joaquin City, the two most important cities in the Black Iron City, have not yet opened the railway, then it will take more time for the resources and supplies in the rear to be transported to the front, so they must rush to this time node to complete all this.

And now the progress of the start, it is obviously too late, in this regard, the entire Black Iron City is also very anxious, but there is no way to solve it, one has been seriously insufficient manpower, the construction of factories, and the construction of other roads and bridges, has already made the Black Iron City unable to make ends meet, unless they let a group of farmers into the city, so as to increase the labor force, but this step can obviously not continue to go on.

Because through more than two years of efforts, the entire population structure of the Black Iron City has undergone earth-shaking changes, before that, the entire Black Iron City of 350,000 people, only 60,000 are urban population, the remaining 290,000 are all rural population, the proportion is about one-fifth, that is, 20 percent, this is the limit that an agricultural society can do, that is, it is still dependent on the large number of mountains and forests around the Black Iron City to hunt to be able to barely maintain.

Today, the population of more than 1.6 million people in Black Iron City, nearly 800,000 people live in the city, and the population ratio has reached the point of one to one, which is already on the verge of being in danger for a society that has no agricultural machinery and only chemical fertilizers.

After all, no one can guarantee that the next year will be smooth, the previous two years, in order to ensure the stability of the foothills and the city, the Black Iron City has reduced the agricultural tax, but at the same time, the work of the Black Iron City is being carried out in an orderly manner, the food stored before has already been exhausted, if there is a flood or drought at this time, resulting in no harvest in an area, then the Black Iron City will immediately face a very serious food crisis, which is an area that no one dares to be presumptuous.

If there is no food to eat, then the people will become a flood in an instant, taking away everything that stands in front of them and prevents them from obtaining rations, until they die.

At this time, if the number of farmers is reduced, if there is any disaster, it is not something that the Black Iron City can bear, they must be careful and careful, so at this node, the Black Iron City will obviously not do such a risky thing, so it is difficult to adjust the personnel. 90 look

What's more, the working environment is so bad, there will be some deaths every month, sometimes there is a landslide, and even more than a dozen people are killed at a time, the Black Iron City is not big, these news, the people will naturally spread quickly, and because of this, it is still very difficult to make arrangements.

After all, it is difficult for you to force others to participate in this kind of work, since the reform of the mining area, unless it is the descendants and relatives of those who betrayed and associates, they will basically not suffer such treatment, and because of this, the number of workers is like this, a total of only 4,000 people, but the speed of construction of the railway has to be accelerated, even Du Erxin and others have no way.

It is a very difficult thing to carry out material rewards, after all, material rewards are really difficult, the entire Black Iron City wants to transport materials to this deep mountain and old forest, it costs a lot of money, just the materials needed to transport the railroad tracks have exhausted the Black Iron City, let alone let them transport other items, as for more severe punishments, it is also difficult, after all, they are all sinners, and their work enthusiasm is not strong, even if the punishment measures are increased, That's all they can do, how can they increase efficiency.

For this reason, Du Erxin and others are also frowning, in the final analysis, this section of the road to build a railway, it is indeed too difficult, in this regard, they have no way, unless it is scientific and technological progress, just like modern times, even if it is 100,000 mountains in Guizhou, Yunnan and other places, can be changed into a thoroughfare, if you have this design and construction ability, then naturally do not have to be afraid, after all, there is indeed a ravine between Huajin City and Black Iron City, but its degree of danger is obviously not comparable to the terrain and landform like Yunnan-Guichuan, in that kind of place, In modern times, viaducts and winding roads can be built, and such terrain difficulties can naturally be overcome.

But however, the equipment in their hands is too simple, it is nothing more than the tools used by some craftsmen on a daily basis, nothing special, compared with before, the only advanced is that the gunpowder tube is enough now, and at the same time, through the construction of the route from Huajin City to Zitong, so that Shu Han's subordinates have a group of talents who master blasting, these people can calculate the terrain, place the explosives in the right position and then detonate, so as to make the construction relatively convenient, and there are some large equipment, such as train transportation, Although only a dozen kilometers of railways have been laid, at least it has made transportation relatively easy, and the erection of electrical lines has allowed people to use welding processes and some electrical equipment.

This is a great progress compared to before, in fact, before the arrival of these railway workers, the circuit workers and wire equipment installers in Huajin City have installed wires nearby, which has allowed the railway workers to use electricity when they come, of course, the difficulty of the construction of the two is not the same, the wire workers only need to design and lay according to the point, and the railway needs to be extended, the difficulty is naturally different, but in the end, Shu Han has always believed that spiritual encouragement is very important.

If it is a group of people who do not have any enthusiasm to work at all, then it is really difficult to increase the speed, even in the face of the overseers whipping and scolding, they will only cope with the situation, in the case that other means cannot be arranged for the time being, what Shu Han can do is to encourage mentally.

At the suggestion of him and several experts and scholars, the descendants and relatives of these sinners were given detailed incentives, such as a vacation as long as the work was achieved, allowing them to come to Joajin City for three to five days to rest, and then every month, the construction team would evaluate the entire team and select twenty outstanding workers, who would receive twice the salary, as well as a three-day break a month, and a free body after the end of the project.

In this way, the stimulation is carried out, and as for the material rewards, they are transported from the deep mountains to Joaquin City, so that when they come to Joaquin City to rest, they can provide free food and lodging, so that they can walk around Joaquin City and return to the life of civilized society for a while.

In this way, the material reward will be relatively easy, no need to carry the reward to the mountain, and let the workers have a time to rest, so that the cost will not be particularly large, and on the other hand, Shu Han proposed that the scope of the reward must be large, so that most people feel that they can get this reward, and not set the number too small, so that the people at the end must know that no matter how hard they try, they can't compete for those in the front, so that their enthusiasm will be difficult to improve.

Therefore, the reward should be divided into levels, it doesn't matter if it is less, but there must be, only in this way can these workers be stimulated to invest in enthusiasm, in this regard, Shu Han is obviously more experienced, after all, he was a slave in the mining area at the beginning, and the people who climbed up from this naturally understand how important it is for the slaves to come from the spirit and organization.

In addition, it is natural to increase the comfort of the workers, if this aspect is not strengthened, then living in it is equivalent to imprisonment, no, it is unbearable than going to prison, just like the miners in the mining area, the people who live all day long are not ghosts, even if they are encouraged, so Shu Han proposed that at least to ensure that these workers have a hot bite to eat after the end of their work, and at the same time have a rain-free house to live in, this requirement is not difficult, but in the deep mountains and old forests want to do, It's simply a challenging thing to do.

After all, the mountain road is rugged, it is difficult to build a tent on it, it is often scattered in more than a dozen hills, some workers go to work, it takes an hour or two just to walk the mountain road, and when it comes to the construction site, it is already exhausted, and there is no opportunity to work, this is the basic knowledge of the terrain, if you want to change, you must first recognize the reality.

In this regard, Shu Han proposed that before the construction of the railroad tracks, it is necessary to give priority to arranging accommodation for the workers, not casually, really not, using explosives to blow up, but also to let them have a relatively flat and close to the railway construction site, only in this way, they can rest at ease when resting, and do not need to walk such a long way when working.
