Chapter 63: If you want to get rich, build roads first
The residence of Shang Weiyang Society asked Sun Junshi to jump in to tie him up, and Sun Junshi had two contracts in his hand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A high price, a low price, as long as Shang Weiyang holds the low price, it is equivalent to pinching his life.
As for whether he can succeed or not, it depends on Sun Junshi's loyalty to Sun Xiao, if he gives Sun Xiao both contracts, then this plan will fail.
If the contract is given at a high price, then Shang Weiyang has laid an important nail in the border guards!
However, the next time I see Sun Junshi, it is estimated that it will be a long time later.
Looking at the official road outside the city, Shang Weiyang asked Zhang Zhiping, "Zhiping, what do you think is restricting the development of Black Rock City now?"
"Hmm... A lot, food, agriculture, population, education, and the technology you often mention," Zhang Zhiping probably thought about it for a while, and said everything he could think of.
"Well, that's true, but none of that is the most urgent, the most important thing right now is transportation!"
"Traffic? What's that?"
"Transportation is communication and communication, which can also be understood as roads and vehicles. Don't you think this road, the car is too slow?"
"Okay, this official road can be said to be very flat, the bearing car you invented to travel to and from the imperial capital, thousands of miles away, it only takes two months. ”
Zhang Zhiping is not Shang Weiyang, he does not know the development of modern transportation, planes, trains, automobiles, various means of transportation, high-speed railways, highways, Shang Weiyang has become accustomed to it.
Every time he travels long and months, he can't complain, so he must take advantage of this time to do a good job in transportation.
The last industrial revolution started with the textile industry, and then gradually spread to the steelmaking industry, mining, manufacturing, and finally the transportation industry.
It turns out that there is some truth to this, at first the manpower gap was too big, then the steam engine solved the problem, and then people found that the steam engine could also be used in the steel industry, so there was better and cheaper steel.
Better steel leads to better machines and equipment, and eventually all of these things have to be sold, so they are used in the transportation industry.
This is a virtuous circle, on which the entire industrial base is built, and people continue to make progress in this cycle until the source of everything - the steam engine. When it is not enough, a new cycle is started.
There will be countless innovations in this cycle that will lay the foundation for the next one.
And Black Rock City, or the entire Heavenly Crystal Continent, because of some magical formations and Shang Weiyang as the leader, all the foundations needed for the cycle have already begun to appear.
The only thing that hasn't moved at the moment is traffic, and Blackstone City's current productivity is undoubtedly huge, but what is produced always has to be sold.
Now transportation has become the last link restricting the development of Black Rock City, without developed transportation, the market of Black Rock City will always be restricted by Black Dragon City and the border guard fortress.
Shang Weiyang briefly summarized the importance of transportation and told Zhang Zhiping about it, so that he could understand the importance of the problem.
"I see, what should we do now, do we have enough funds?" Zhang Zhiping first thought of the problem of funds.
"Hehe, there is no problem in terms of funds, although we add this income, there are only 10 billion gold coins left, but the most difficult zero has passed, and the future benefits are long-term. ”
"The hardest zero?" Zhang Zhiping said repeatedly.
"Yes, it is the most difficult zero, the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things!
This Tao is zero, that is, creating something out of nothing, which is undoubtedly hundreds of millions of times more difficult than the three beings and all things that follow. Shang Weiyang also had a rare explanation this time.
"I understand that all the changes in Black Rock City are this way, and transportation is the last link of this road. ”
This time, we will count all the people who have lost their jobs from the mines because of the steam engine, and see how many there are, and this last step must be carried out smoothly, this time at least 50,000 people are needed, and the vacancies can be recruited from other places, and the pay is a little lower than that of local workers.
Attract outsiders as much as possible, the population of Black Rock City is already a bit stretched, and even in some places it is not enough. ”
"Knowing it, you can rest assured. Walk back to the city and drink first to celebrate the 6.3 billion gold coins earned. ”
Three days later, Huaxia Cement Plant and Huaxia Iron and Steel Plant were required to expand production at full capacity 24 hours a day.
After three shifts, the production capacity has tripled.
Then there were flyers of the big recruitment, and now the people of Blackstone City don't worry about work at all, and almost everywhere is recruiting.
Some lazy people even stop working for a few days and then find a new job.
In the end, the treatment was raised to four gold coins a day, barely enough to recruit 20,000 people.
The remaining 30,000 people have to be recruited from outside.
Xuanwu City is the second closest county town to Blackstone City, three thousand miles away, but there are dozens of large and small cities along the way.
These cities belong to the second line of defense, and they are resisting the demon beasts that have slipped through the net in the first line of defense. So it's often more dense.
Because it is a second line of defense, the monsters are generally killed by the city defense army out of the city, so they can live and work in peace and contentment.
Recently, however, people from Blackstone have started to come here to do the cloth business, and strangely enough, their prices are a full thirty percent lower than the market.
And all materials can be exchanged, cotton, grain, iron ore, coal, as if there is nothing they don't want, even livestock.
Moreover, they actually recruited a large number of people in Xuanwu City, and almost all the beggars and poor people in Xuanwu City were swept away.
The city lord of Xuanwu City didn't care about the comparison, after all, he had cheap cloth, and he had also dealt with a large number of useless ores, beggars, etc., and he was too happy to care about these details.
And the members of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce who returned to Blackstone City from Xuanwu City quickly arranged more than 30,000 civilians.
It is still the first to do identity registration and arrange accommodation training, for these, the person in charge of Black Rock City is already familiar with it.
Due to the long time it took to go back and forth, the first batch of workers in Blackstone City had already begun to complete the construction of the roads from the mines to Blackstone City.
For the sake of efficiency, these people have begun to build the first highway, from Blackstone City to Green Water City, a total length of 600 miles, and the plan is to repair it by the end of the year.
The new arrivals are training and working at the same time, and are mainly responsible for manual work such as carrying cement and other materials, as well as mixing concrete.
Although they were very tired, they were paid two gold coins a day to keep them motivated, and it was said that after working for a year, they could join the household registration of Black Rock City, and they could get four gold coins a day at that time.
In this way, a month after Sun Junshi left, the first highway in Black Rock City officially began to be built to Green Water City.
In fact, in the previous life, it was enough to build this road with only 500 people, but now there are no large-scale machinery to open mountains and build bridges, and Shang Weiyang only uses people to pile up.
But all this is worth it, in the future, these people have experience in large-scale projects, the erection of railways, and the construction of other high-speed lines will be like a fish in water.
Just when Shang Weiyang was building a bridge and building a road, the scientific research department suddenly came out with good news, someone had designed a new steam engine!
Shang Weiyang rushed over immediately when he heard the news!
